Citysearch | Even post-IPO, Peet's celebrates its bohemian upbringing with dark-roast beans.

Since its Berkeley beginnings in 1966, the chain has swapped its beatnik spirit for corporate glory. Cool flagstone floors and rich mahogany-colored paneling make for a sleek stop, but not a haunt in which to...

User Reviews of Peets Coffee and Tea

Yelp.com Review - by Scott W.

4 of 5 stars. Did you know that the traditional Japanese use 17 SOUNDS in haiku poetry--not 17 SYLLABLES. So the word, "haiku" has three sounds. But just two syllables. Right? Well, it's good to know the rules…

5 of 5 stars. I usually make it a habit to avoid reviewing chains, but I love, love, love this Peet's in particular. While my acid reflux (TMI, I know) prevents me from having Peet's espresso or drip coffee in…

4 of 5 stars. Damn fine coffee... damn fine. I don't drink their espresso, but the drip is swell. I also hold that Peet's is home to the only potable decaf known to man... if you're into that kinda thing... which…

4 of 5 stars. Peets is my old faithful of coffeehouses. They do that dark roast thing so you always think the coffee is REALLY strong, like a tender punch in the face to wake you up.

Polk Peet's is Top's

Nothing compares to the rich and flavorful coffees from Peet's (unless you're in Europe). They certainly don't water it down like most places.

I feel their type of roasting and the quality of the coffee is perfecto. The crowd at a Peet's is a little more seasoned than other coffee houses

NO sweet and Low

PEET's would get great marks form me except they do not carry sweet and low. Sweet-N-Low - there are no substitutes sweet enough to take it's place and coffee isn't the same without it.

Peet's Coffee & Tea is one of the worst cups of coffee I've ever had. There is no flavor, it's bitter, and I'll never go to a Peet's Coffee & Tea again!

I drive 180 miles every month for Peets coffee. It's just too good. So much better than "charbucks". Just wish the downtown shops were open on Sat/Sun since I stay downtown and come on weekends.
