Peet's Coffee & Tea

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: Unrivaled coffee, low prices, friendly staff, quiet
Cons: absolutely none

Peet's produces the finest coffee I have ever had. I have the good fortune of living footsteps from this fine establishment. To begin with, the whole affair is refreshingly honest and classy. Peet's is everything Starbucks wants to be. The employees...

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...

Pros: Amazingly fresh, quick delivery
Cons: Pricey

First, let me say that I have been a devout Starbucks fan - until now.

My future husband brought home a pound of Peet's coffee that he'd bought on the internet, because someone had brought some into the office. He just raved about it, and...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Amazing variety of Teas and Coffees.
Cons: Sometimes too crowded on the weekends, so share your table!

I'm a tea drinker, and I like something nice. Peet's, with their huge variety of loose teas, and their well trained staff, deliver. When I want a treat, I can venture down to Burlingame Avenue in Burlingame (passing two Starbux, by the way), sidle...

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: 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: 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)...
