Peet’s Coffee & Tea

The people were infectiously kind and the staff was refreshingly jubilant. I will go out of my way to stop again there again even if competitor is more convenient. Great atmosphere and set up as well. (Customer on: Friday, June 24^th around 7:30pm)

One of the nicest Peet’s I’ve visited, this space has a wall garden, plenty of seating area, and is in the heart of the marina.
The only drawback is WIFI is slow. If you’re coming here to work during peak hours, you’re better off elsewhere.

Because of one stupid woman and no sign of where the line start. This place is going to endure three stars. I normally hate Peet’s because of pretentious people that work there and so call stuck up customers. This place on Chestnut is by far have more pretentious and self loving vain people than the whole entire Bay area combine. The feeling of entitlement is obnoxiously astounding.
Well I got made a sample of by a stupid woman that is way too old to have a pig tails with a white baseball hat and neon bright red lipstick.(Arrogant much??) Sorry to say it but you look like a wash up older prostitute. Well she was standing up by the register and way too close to this other lady. So I looked to see if there are sign of where the line start. A bit unsure and don’t like to be that percentage of clueless people. At the other coffee place, most line start around whatever is the front of the counter. So here I stood right besides the divider where all the goodies are. Thinking nothing but already self aware of the look she is giving me. She then said it loudly that the line start behide her. Well apparently she knows everyone in here. Because after she said that, she went straight and yap with the barista about it. Thank goodness that the two women behide the counter are nice. Three stars is for them. The coffee have a bit too much milk. It lack potential to be something more. Like i don’t know, less milk more espresso perhaps. Not sure if he did it intentionally or just not that experience barista. But then again he was yapping away to the line nazi troll. So we may never know.

I haven’t been to a Peet’s in a while since I’ve been experimenting with my own cold brews at home and I usually stop by a Philz for my weekend fix.
The freddos are now called Javivas. I don’t know if they’re using an updated recipe with different ingredients or if it’s all in my head, but my blended espresso drink tasted different. The drink was more on the bland side and it didn’t have enough coffee flavor.
The Wi-​Fi was pretty terrible and I gave up on getting any work done.
I do have to give extra points to the baristas though. Mine happily overindulged me when I asked for extra whip. It was literally a 6 inch tall mountain of whip… it was almost comical. Thank you!

Awesome interior design with lots of natural light, plants, brick-​exposed walls… a long counter, tables, bar seating… everything you need. Probably the best designed Peet’s Coffee I’ve ever been in.
Top!

This is probably the best designed Peet’s in the Bay Area. Great ambiance.

Decent neighborhood coffee shop, okay for working and casual meetings but they close relatively early (9pm Mon-​Sat and 8pm on Sun). Internet quality can be spotty, but coffee is always delicious.

Tasty drinks, affordable prices, awesome service with a smile. This place is clean, mellow, and the ample window lighting means you can definitely bring your laptop in to «work from home» while people watching.
We stopped in here after lunch to pick up refreshments. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with an additional shot of espresso, and my coffee-​hating boyfriend ordered a sanpellegrino. There’s something for everyone here, but Peet’s definitely always has tasty coffee!
Would come again.

What is happening with this Peets? OK so I have been out of town for a while — only to come back to a sad affair for a flag ship store. When they opened the new store it was tip top. Now the place feels city grime and non-​operable. It was my first morning stop after returning to SF and there is no wifi — it may say there is a signal but believe me it is not. Even one of the staff said they best way was to Unilocal about it. I tried to do a screen test but couldn’t get it to even register. Please, hello, this is SF where people are wired and getting more wired on the java so bad wifi does not make it. Go up to Illy Espresso or Coffee Roastery on Union Street. Cleanliness also an issue — if you are not going to keep the restrooms just for customers and be more utopian, please have someone clean every fifteen minutes as they are used by the street people to do their toiletries. Please some district manager bring this up to Peets standards.

Javier Lopez @ Peets Chestnut til 1pm today. Wow, what an opportunity for Giants fans! Thanks Peets!

If you ever been to a small coffee place with no place to sit, no wifi, dingy, dark and not so hot beverages this place is totally the opposite. A great place to hang out, with plenty of room to stretch, relax, and enjoy the décor of the store. Peet’s made this place «comfortable» with the ability to carry on conversations without any interruptions of noise or distractions. This place is clean with efficient service, and is equipped with a wide variety of treats to fulfill your appetite. The floor space alone is able to accommodate more than hundred people, with its high ceilings, and functional seating. It is no doubt that this place gets busy, so hit or miss if your ever in the neighborhood, give this place a try and you will not be disappointed.

Something is not right with the drip coffee here. I’m a huge Peet’s fan and regularly frequent multiple locations including Chestnut. However the coffee tastes watery and weak since they switched to the new brewing system. What happened? Please fix this.
One last thing. Dogs should not be allowed where food is served. Period. Leave them outside. Peets enforce this.

Very cool place, in an ultra-​trendy (and ultra-​expensive) part of town. I had an iced Mocha, and it was fabulous. The service was great, even though they were pretty busy on a Saturday morning. I took my coffee, walked over to the Golden Gate, and walked the bridge for the first time. A great day, started off perfectly with Peet’s.

Seen Peet’s coffee advertised at other eateries so it became a «Must Try» and I’m so glad I spotted one when my daughters wanted to go to Brandy Melville.
Similar feel to Starbucks when you walk in but you quickly find its feel as a brighter, less stressed environment. My cup of Joe was the Café Solano and it was great!

The maple javiva and the caramel macchiato are delicious. They have tons of different raw bean or gourmet coffee choices for the ultimate coffee connoisseur. The white chocolate mocha isn’t very good though.

Yesterday afternoon (Sunday, May 10), I watched as the people taking orders (woman with face jewelry, guy with long ponytail) did not greet, smile or respond to customers’ pleasantries.
The two Peets’ employees were stone-​faced.
Customers greeted them, smiled, said ‘thank you’…and there was coldness in return… no ‘you’re welcome’, nada.
Why do these people work in a coffee shop?
Why would anyone hire them to work in their coffee shop?
It was sad to see tourists in particular treated this way.
Physically, this Peets has lots of seating and natural light.
The espresso was great.
Peets is one of the only places left in SF to get a real espresso (besides some Italian restaurants).
The McHipster droids are replacing good espresso with acid water all over earth.
Italy and Peets are the only hold-​outs.

Me parece uma rede só de San Francisco. Não tinha visto ainda em outros lugares mas por lá tem tantas quanto tem de Starbucks.
Estava numa noite chuvosa e havia acabado de comprar (mais) um iPod e falo pra mim mesmo: deixe-​me experimentar este lugar. Fui.
Olhei o menu, olhei de novo e pedi um café gelado. Primeiro que o copo me parecia um copo qualquer, sem a marca do lugar. O gosto era extremamente forte e eu enfiei açúcar nele e okay… Não curti.
O atendimento foi mais ou menos é o lugar estava vazio e já era quase meia noite. Não consegui tomar tudo pois era realmente forte o café gelado e só me restou esperar o Über para voltar para o hotel.

One of the nicest Peet’s I’ve been to! it is a huge space with a long table, numerous smaller tables, and a few bar seats. The décor is very modern and hipster-​ish.
Drinks are good, as with any other Peet’s location.
Also, clean bathrooms!

This is My favorite Peets in San Francisco. Although the wifi internet is slow, but the location, the atmosphere and the space inside are all great!
If you’re lucky to find a table there, you’ll enjoy it.

When the original Peet’s on Chestnut Street closed down at the end of 2012, I say to myself, «I could not imagine the Marina District not having a Peet’s coffee shop.»
Indeed something is missing.
Now the local franchise is back just a few doors down within the same block of Chestnut Street with a spanking new and bigger venue and new and more professionally-​trained employees. Unlike the older location, the new location has plenty of seating including a sofa and free and strong Wi-​fi access.
I was here only once of the new location. I had a Mocha Freddo as my afternoon treat. Joe Cool sipping his treat and looking at the ladies strutting and shaking their ass along Chestnut Street. My beverage:
My only gripe of the new location is that the main doorway is very small and narrow with one door. The Marina District is best known as heavily-​populated with baby-​boomers. Parents with the wide-​strollers block the narrow entrance way and do unnecessary actions. Some of them need to use their judgment (s) and handle their business elsewhere.
Other than that, I do not have a problem with the new Peet’s location.

Beautiful new Peet’s location on Chestnut Street. Huge space with plenty of place to curl up with a good book. Outlets for those with laptops. Awesome pictures and history of Peet’s on the walls. Green wall in the back is really cool.
Pretty awesome that the first 50 people who went to the grand opening got a free mug and $ 25 gift certificate. Thanks Peet’s. You’re awesome. :)
