Peets Coffee & Tea

Love Peets! Real Coffee and real tea. Way better than Starbucks!

This is a great gathering place. Of course excellent coffee and friendly baristas. It’s my go to coffee brand having a more robust flavor than Starbucks and way better than any other brand I’ve tried including organics water process decaf. Peets is the only Coffee chain I’m aware of that only uses the chemical free water process for all their decaf coffee. Plenty of parking and outside seating. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and sweet server. Interior is clean. I ordered a large Black ice tea with 7 pumps of Mango and lite ice (it came out fabulous) There are about 10 tables on the inside and plenty of seating outside. Overall solid 4 stars.

They recently changed their hours so that they are only open until 8pm! This is pretty strange considering that it's summer, the movie theater in El Paseo is much busier now that the AMC theater in Vallco shut down, and it's not even dark at that time 🤔 I seriously think they're missing out on a lot of business. They also put a code on the bathroom door, so maybe they were having problems with non-customers using the bathroom before? It's anyone's guess. All I know is that during the short time I was there, every single person they told the code to had troube opening the door because they just had to throw a special chatacter in at the end of a long string of numbers that no one could remember. 🤷‍♀️ They make good coffee and pastries/baked goods and their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The strawberry "pop tart" had a nice pastry crust that appeared to have been brushed with egg white to give it that egg sheen. The filling tasted *exactly* like Smucker's strawberry jelly 🍓🤔... In fact, I think it might have been Smucker's strawberry jelly... Whether that's good or bad is up to you. One thing that struck me as odd is that while they have a bunch of unusual ingredients to make strange concoctions, like tumeric and ginger for "golden" drinks, they have an extremely limited selection of more standard flavored syrups. No raspberry, no strawberry, no berry of any kind... Basically just chocolate, honey, and coconut...oh yeah, and tumeric 😦😬 🤢 Their "golden" drinks are really a Wintry flavor profile anyway (hence why they're not currently listed on the menu). They currently have NO SPECIALS (just said they can still make the tumeric stuff), NO fruit flavors, and an extremely LIMITED SELECTION of syrups. Come on, guys! Don't rest on your laurels. What are you doing to keep up with the competition? Get your tumeric latte before 8pm!

Love this specific Pete's. Staff is always happy to be there and help you, and the drinks and bakes goods are awesome.

There’s nothing quite like that first cup of coffee in the Mornin few sips of the aromatic magic stuff later and you're suddenly awake and motivated to tackle your day head-on. It's truly the best handmade, Peet’s!
