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 ...
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: 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: 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...
Like other 20-something intellectuals, my friend Ken has issues with Starbucks. He is put-off by the generic flavor of the coffee, and is repulsed by the rapid expansion of this corporation. When we were undergraduates (he at UC Berkeley, myself at...
Pros: Coffee is way too strong Cons: Coffee is way too strong
I am a pansy when it comes to coffee.
Oh sure, I love a nice, strong cup of brew, but I don’t grind my own beans, and I’m not a connoisseur who can distinguish a Columbian from an Italian roast. I purchase already-ground beans for my...
Pros: This isn't Starbucks Cons: This isn't Starbucks
Nestled away beyond the grandeur and relatively ubiquitous nature of Starbucks Coffee exists Peet's Coffee and Tea, a long-running coffee roasting company that is beginning to poke its head out from its obscure Bay Area roots, moving its stores to...
As I sit here writing this opinion, my hands are shaking ever so slightly in that way that tells you the caffeine is working a little too well. That's what a cup of Peet's can do, but if you're a coffee "junkie" like me, or even if you just...
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...
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: 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 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 ...
