Peet’s Coffee & Tea

Nothing particularly bad about this location but nothing great either. It was fairly empty when I went at 6 pm on a weekday. The employee was nice but nothing special. Your standard Peets. The one nice thing is ample parking.

Peets is my go-​to for a quick cup of joe with good company. Friendly workers… I just wished they’d have more seats!

This Peet’s is clean, the staff is quick, the atmospheres is pleasant!
They are located in a busy shopping area near Safeway!

Caffiene free pomegranate blueberry tea!!! It was good until I kept drinking it… And now I have a syrup flavor left in my mouth… I wouldn’t get any of the infusions for future reference.
They normally screw the majority of my drinks up but they always remake it for me… Parking isn’t amazing so might need to park elsewhere.

Aromatically pleasing as always. I drop in here and there for what I like. Last drip I had left me with bad breath. It was reminiscent of fecal matter, that I have no idea why I should share this past visit experience with you. It was an African blend. Well at least you know what I had. Maybe I’ll have better luck on another drip selection on a follow-​up visit.

Peets is good, I prefer it over Starbucks and it’s good coffee, but there are definitely other places I prefer. I don’t usually get anything fancy, either a coffee or espresso, on a rare occasion I’ll get whip cream. Today I was at my credit union a few doors down and my 2 year old had to poop so we ran to peets to use the restroom. Afterwards I felt I should buy something, and I saw the sign for salted caramel macchiato. I love salted caramel and thought, it’s my birthday week, what the hell. I can’t say it was worth it. The first half was not sweet at all, just super salty. The second half was ok but still not very exciting. There were 2 guys working, one making drinks and the other taking orders. After the one guy took my order he walked away. The guy making drinks finished making the drink for the lady in front of me then went to help a costumer that just walked up. I waited a few minutes until the guy that took my order came back, and he made my drink. I figure there was a mix up. Can’t say either of them were really friendly, maybe because my son pooped in their bathroom, I don’t know. It’s clean and I normally have a good experience here.

I like this Peet’s. Plenty of parking, staff is very friendly, there are lots of patio seating, and the inside is spacious with tables, and chairs. My coffee always taste good. This location is a nice place to catch up with a friend, or have a business meeting. Animal and kid friendly as well. Lots of babies and small to large dogs chillen outside in the patio.

This place has become my new favorite study spot. I get so much done here!
Drinks: I’m not a coffee drinker, I love tea and honestly have difficulties breaking down caffeine, so I tend to stay away. After having a wonderful Matcha Green Tea Latte at Urth Caffe, I decided I needed to find a place in my area where I could get a good green tea latte. Starbucks? Didn’t like it. Peet’s on the other hand hit the spot. Small, Unsweetened Matcha Green Tea Latte with Almond Milk and a hint of honey for sweetness. I’m in love with this drink. It’s a wonderful pick-​me-​up, delicious and it satisfies my sweet tooth. Best of all, matcha provides a multitude of health benefits.
Customer Service: Super friendly employees. Patient, helpful and good at making recommendations!
Ambiance: Smaller than most Peet’s locations, but still a good amount of seating both inside and outside. Evening can be very busy with people doing work/​studying. Only one big booth to hold larger groups and the rest of the tables hold about 2 – 4 people. Music is always great for studying and relaxing the mind.
Price: In terms of the latte, the price is comparable to Starbucks, however quality of the matcha seems a lot better and more authentic IMO.
Overall: Very clean location, great customer service and although I’ve had a different person make my drink each time… my lattes are consistently delicious!

Great location because it’s in the same shopping center as Safeway, Jamba juice, Planet beach and spa, Staples, Red Lobster and more. There are plenty of parking so no need to worry. If you are looking for a place to do your work, there are indoor and outdoor seating.
As soon as I walk in, the baristas greet me with a smile on their faces. Their job is to not only sell you coffee or other beverages but to also better serve you with great customer service that most Starbucks fails to do now a days. Now, it’s often «what can I get for you?» «Would you like a copy of your receipt?» And that’s about it! Whatever happens to «How’s your day going?» Overall, I enjoy going to both coffee shops but I do feel like Peet’s coffee offers better service and cleanliness.

I’ve been only going to Peets coffee (unless I ABSOLUTELY have to go to Starbucks, which isn’t quite often), and I absolutely love everything about it.
I believe I first started going here my Junior year of high school. I started off with the sweet drinks — Freddos and Iced Lattes. Anywho, back then when you ordered something, they gave you an hour of wifi. Back then, I didn’t really care, and even now I still don’t (but trust me, I love the free wifi now).
I love Peet’s environment so much. All the drinks are made with the utmost care and precise touch, and the employees at Peets are all so friendly and generous. There were times where I would stay at Peets for hours at a time to just study or relax with a cup of coffee. It’s that amazing. I also recommend those going through a hard time to just get a cup of your favorite coffee, a journal, and a pen and just write away your thoughts. You can do so much here and I feel as though Peets has helped me through not only academic challenges throughout high school, but also everyday mental and emotionally troubles I go through.
Now that I go to UC Irvine as a 2^nd year, I always look forward to coming back and getting a medium
Iced-​Coffee (no room). Stay here for a bit and get a refill for only a buck because it’s definitely worth it.
I’m here almost every day, if not five times a week until I go back to school on ⁹⁄₁₈. Feel free to look for me and we can have a great conversation together. I love meeting new people.
Anyway, thanks, Peet’s coffee, for being my go-​to place for every thing (including delicious coffee) the past 3 – 4 years. Can’t wait to buy some beans to grind to make my own coffee when I go back to UCI!

This place has awesome, honest customer service, decent iced coffee, delicious loose-​leaf tea, and is the only coffee shop that can manage designs in my almond milk latte. The shop is quiet enough for me to get some work done, probably the quietest café in Milpitas.
The only reason why I won’t give 4 stars is because their wifi is always TERRIBLE and it’s freezing all of the time.
Overall, much better than Starbucks.

I love this place a lot! i go here all the time for a reason. I used to go to Starbucks before till all Starbucks drinks started tasting like pure sugar. At Peet’s, it actually taste like coffee. This can’t be true right? Especially for a coffee shop… but it is… I’m sure a lot of people get disappointed that their drinks are not as sweet but obviously everyone and their mom’s are so used to the taste of diabetes, that when they drink an actual an actual coffee drink, they make a thizz face and throw away their drink.
Anyways this place is amazing, especially all the staff. They are very knowledgeable on the products they sell, including the stuff out on the floor. They will be more than happy to give you feedback on what they think about it as well.
One of the best Peet’s I’ve been to just because of the amazing Staff!

I follow Peet’s on Facebook and read that drinks are 50% after 12pm.
I mentioned this to the girl working the register on ¾/​15 at 1:40pm before I ordered. She scolded me with «yes, but just to let you know, some places need you to show the receipt or something – but I’ll do it for you anyway.»
Hmm, that’s funny, because on the Facebook post mentioning the offer, it clearly says «Just mention this post or show this coupon.» The operative word here is «OR»
I did mention it prior to ordering yet I still received her little speech about showing some sort of proof. She made me feel like I was taking advantage of the offer and that she was allowing me to use the offer as a courtesy but I had to show some sort of proof to redeem it.
I first redeemed this offer at the Half Moon Bay location on ²⁄₂₇. All I did was mention the words «Hey, are you guys doing the 50% off after 12pm?» and the employee at the register smiled and happily rang me up – no extra comments and a great tasting Caramel Latte.
It’s obvious that this location is not fully versed on their current promotions. I shouldn’t have to feel like I’m being scolded for properly asking about a offer. I’ve attached a screenshot of the Facebook offer in question.
I’ve used Peet’s offers/​specials before and have always been careful to provide a printed hard copy coupon if the fine print said so, but this 50% offer only said to mention OR show the post.
I’m not what you would call a regular «Peetnik» because my main source of Peet’s comes from the single-​serve K-​cups that I purchase in the stores, but I do take advantage of the offers that I receive from Peet’s just by following their Social Media. However, after this experience at the Milpitas location, I’m reluctant to ever redeem another offer from Peet’s.

Peet’s has always been the more relaxing, laid back, slower coffee chain. With the absence of a drive-​thru window and the interior decorated with wooden floors and tables, Peet’s is a stop during your day that resembles the old coffee shops where people to come to socialize and relax – not bust in and out in a hurry.
I love that Peet’s has an almond milk option for their chai lattes. It’s delicious. It helps that there’s a few power outlets in the wall and everyone agrees to share.

I love this location of peets. They have the best staff ever, everyone here is so friendly and happy. I love biking here from Fremont for some coffee or to just meet up with people. Its a great location too.
Drinks are consistently good and I’ve had both their coffee and tea. The coffee is great and strong, which is just what I like. Because coffee should taste like coffee… Not like diabetes. Their loose leaf tea is so good and I don’t usually like tea from coffeechains because it’s a bag of tea and it sucks. But at peets you can get a little pot and loose leaf. I appreciate this. And they also have honey for a main sweetener. Peets is also one of the few coffee shops in my area that have almond milk as an option.
Did I mention their staff is amazing?
5 stars!

EDIT: I rated this place 2 stars before solely based on WiFi. Sheesh what a jerk I was. My original review is below. But today it’s working great so I am amending this as promised to 5 stars. I am on a new machine so it could have been related to my own pc :(. Or Peets IT has made changes because others were complaining in the past too, it wasn’t just me. Either way, you guys deserve 5 stars!!! Thank you for listening and for having such awesome staff.
– Orig Review —
The wi-​fi is SO SLOW here I can barely write this review. Employees are friendly and professional, atmosphere is fantastic. Wi-​Fi should be turned off so you don’t even bring your laptop or get your hopes up. Management, please stop advertising that you offer wi-​fi and I’ll happily change this review to 5 stars. I am getting disconnected as I write this.

I was with my dear friend Crisol and his LOVELY mom, Momma Sanchez when we decided to visit Peet’s in Sacramento. Momma Sanchez SWEARS by Peet’s so we went. This was my first experience with Peet’s so I was excited!
The moment I stepped foot into this business I was overwhelmed by the amazing energy and knew it was about to be an experience.
The reason for the 5 STAR is because of one person, JESS– the counter employee helping us. Her personality was infectious and she was very knowledgable of the brand. JESS was so happy to be working for the company and she should be the poster employee for all locations because she gets it, she has a business mind and understands customer service. I was very impressed by this employee and it made the experience all the more enjoyable.
Thank You JESS!!!

This location was the first full-​service Peet’s I’ve tried in the Bay Area. I was tempted to order something from their new line of food, but I kept things simple and ordered a Caramel Freddo.
Service was reasonably good and friendly. They were training someone, so things seemed to go a bit more slowly than expected but it was interesting to hear the steps they take on any drink order.
The restroom needed attention.

I generally get iced coffee, skipping the milk and sugar, which is good. I came here since I was in the area and studying.
Good sized location with pastries and tables for studying. Not the most tables or chairs available, although there are some outside– but it’s smellpitas after all.
Most of the people who come in are regulars.
One star knocked off for my gross bathroom experience here, literally feces on the outer rim of the toilet bowl and floor. Yep, you already know I told the workers. Saw many people go in after my discovery without saying anything. Yikes!

Iced coffee. My drug of choice.
No stuffy grande/​venti/​whatever size names. Small, Medium, Large. Straightforward.
When my wife and I have just half an hour to catch up, this is where we like to go. Nice large fountain outside (but it wasn’t running today).
