Peet's Coffee & Tea

Pros: Delicious espresso
Cons: Coffee that will put hair on your chest; snooty baristas.

Why is Starbucks THE coffee spot. Oh, I remember, cuz there are tons of them, just about one on every corner where I live. Peet's Coffee is a bit harder to find. Well, a lot harder, actually, which is too bad because they have excellent espresso. Notice ...

Pros: Rich, fresh and delicious. Many varieties and blends.
Cons: Cost more than a can of super market 'stuff.'

As a child, coffee was ubiquitous in my life. Instant from the A&P and coffee flavored syrup in our milk! To my mother, really 'good' coffee was two teaspoons of the A&P instant. I liked it. I college, I discovered a stove-top peculator. What it made ...

Pros: Good consistent coffee at a reasonable price; good pastry
Cons: None

This is a review of the Peet's Coffee and Tea in Newton, Massachusetts. I recently moved offices and had to leave behind the Dunkin Donuts on the corner by my old office. I tried a few new coffee places in the area and for the last month have been very ...

Pros: Absolutely delicious quality coffee.
Cons: none!

Have you heard of PEET's COFFEE? If you haven't yet, chances are, you will in the near future. Peets Coffee was started by Alfred Peet in 1966 in Berkeley, California. Mr. Peet was from Holland and came from a family of coffee merchants. He and ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None

I do not consider myself a coffee person. I don’t need or crave a cup of coffee in the morning. I can get by fine without a caffeine boost. But I do enjoy to meet up with friends over a cup of coffee … or tea … every now and then. My ...

Pros: A relaxing place for coffee and tea.
Cons: Can be pricey.

Peet's has been around longer than Starbucks has. In 1966 Alfred Peete started his first store on Vine Street in Berkely California. I enjoy Peets better than Starbucks because of the atmosphere and the quality of the products. Just a few weeks ago I ...

Pros: The best brew in town!
Cons: It can be very busy at times

Peet's is a bay area classic! I did my run of working the classic scene - Peet's Coffee, Noah's Bagels and The Claremont Resort. Three years inside the roasting, grinding, and milk steaming espresso-pouring wonderland that we all know by its aroma. ...

Pros: delicious, wickedly strong coffee; many flavors to choose from; open very early
Cons: expensive; refills are not free; pastries leave a lot to be desired

Peet's is a very "San Francisco" establishment. Or should I say 'anti-establishment', as every Starbucks-loathing San Franciscan who admonishes the megacorporation that is Starbucks, is drinking or will drink a cup of Peet's. They are located almost as ...

Pros: Rich & Decadent.
Cons: Monthly detox is necessary.

Peet's (drip) Coffee is the best coffee I have ever had...especially their signature blends. The folks at Peet's mix their coffee's like wine makers mix their grapes. My favorite blends for every day drinking are House Blend, Blend 101, and Arabian...

Pros: It's served hot.
Cons: It's burned & bitter

Burned Beans do not, and never will, yield a quality brew. I have paid Peet's numerous visits, only to be so disappointed, inevitably resulting in me tossing the cup. I have even ordered a Latte, thinking that the Milk would cut some of the unpleasant...

Pros: Fresh, superb tasting coffee
Cons: You definitely pay for it

I am a relative newcomer to Peet's... I read in a couple magazines that their coffee was the "best in the US," so the cynical side of me was determined to try it and prove that once again the critics were wrong...

Well, what can I say? It...

Pros: Good variety. Nice selection on grinding
Cons: Shipping. There is no next day air.

If you like coffee, you’ll love Peets! I like to think I am a coffee snob. I got hooked a years ago in Cleveland at an Arabica coffee house. Since, it’s been a wild ride.

I now order my coffee from two sources. Peets (http://www.peets.com)...

Pros: Wonderful, freshly roasted coffee
Cons: Need more shops on the East Coast!

One of the things I look forward to every summer is my trip north from Florida to Cambridge, MA. The highlight of the week I spend at Harvard each year is heading over to Peets every chance I get (at least 3 times a day).

I have been mail...

Pros: Excellent flavor and aroma
Cons: Expensive, but worth it

I am truly a coffee addict. Each morning the ritual starts with feeding the cats, then getting my coffee started. I have a Mr. Coffee space saver type of coffee maker. I frequent a few freebie sites and heard that Peet's coffee was great. Well, they...

Pros: The best beans in the business!!
Cons: No East Coast locations (boo-hoo)

OK, I was a long-time disciple of the Starbucks blitz, received my shipments 2X/month delivered right to my door. I had decided ALL other coffee lacked in flavor and freshness. THEN along came this Berkeley bean and into the garbage went my S-bux...
