I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Pittsburgh, PA) in Apr 2012
Interview
The manager at the time asked me several strange questions, such as "If you were an animal, what animal would you be?" However, the interview was overall fun, and I got free drinks in the meantime.

Question 1
"If you were an animal, what animal would you be?"
In person interview after asking for a position in person and receiving a paper with steps to apply online. This was a U of MN caribou so it was pretty straight forward and I was hired after the interview the next day.
Did two interviews. It was cool. But two seemed a bit much for a barista role. But it did show they were looking for someone who was serious. It was pretty laid back and went well

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Saint Paul, MN)
Interview
Straight-forward and simple, manager asked me about my experience, my availability, and how my being a full-time student affected my scheduling. Very professional, and clearly had strong corporate standards for processes and dealing with employees.
