Reviews for Peet's Coffee in Berkeley, CA
A cute Peet's nestled between a fabulous bakery and a well-loved restaurant. They don't have much indoor space and seating but... there are plenty of tables outside. This location gets a ton of action from cyclists who head up Tunnel, the tennis club,Claremont folks, and others so it is always bustling in the AM. Read more
A great Peet?s Coffee for meeting people hanging out on benches outside (not a laptop cafe) on Domingo near Fournee Bakery for... the perfect pairing of the most popular pastries in Berkeley and Berkeley-born legendary Peet?s. Read more
Store number two, a hopeful Outpost and what I am loosely referring to as Domingo Street Mall, a 1970s era construction with a... walkway that leads from the parking on Claremont avenue, all the way through to the tennis courts at the Claremont hotel, thisplace, though now largely dormant, like many other Berkeley alternative hippie style malls, was once a thriving hotbed ofculinary activity, and remains a great place to meet people, sweethearts, or family members, and you can sit and sip coffee, orget breakfast at Rick and ann's, while surrounded by nice greenery, as you watch people play tennis across the street at theClaremont tennis club. Coffee here is standard, as the baristas are usually brand new, and in training, but generally speakingit is an acceptable level of Peet's coffee. The pictures you see are of the entire mall and not just Pete's. Read more
An excellent Peet?s location. Parking can be tricky and the other stores there like the bakery can have a huge line around the... corner but Peets is available. They have the order ahead feature and lots of cute little benches and places to sit and eat. Lovethis spot. Staff is very nice too. Read more
Nice outdoor seating. (Ethical rating: 3.5 Green Stars) For my food needs, I?m more likely to get a scone or vegan burrito from... Rick and Ann?s or a slice of pizza from Fournée, but Peet?s is probably the best spot on the block for coffee. (Unless you feellike hiking up to the Claremont Hotel and visiting the new Provisions café, which makes a good Americano.) The best thing aboutthis Peet?s is the seating area outside ? it?s usually pretty relaxing and there?s a choice of sun or shade (and free WiFi,either way). I do like a couple of Peet?s food items now ? especially the ?Everything Plant-Based Sandwich,? which consists ofa sausage patty from Beyond Meat, combined with JUST vegan egg and vegan cheddar, all on a thin bagel. It?s also nice that wecan use our own mugs again at Peet?s, avoiding coffee cup waste and the 25 cent charge that Berkeley folk now pay for disposablecups. I?m also giving the Peet?s 3.5 out of 5 ?Green Stars? for social and environmental impact, based on this: ? Reasonableselection of vegetarian items and now one good vegan sandwich and a vegan brownie. ? Beyond Meat (who makes the EverythingPlant-Based sandwich patty) rates highly in my book (4.5 Green Stars) ? Peet?s now allows customers to bring their own coffeemugs again & gives a 25 cent discount for using one. ? Peet?s disposable cups and lids are now both compostable. This helpsquite a bit in terms of waste sorting, because everything can go into the compost bin. Let?s face it, at many coffee places(hello, Starbucks!) customers? trash pretty much ends up in random bins. But bring your own mug, for goodness sake! ? Peet?smain coffee roastery in Alameda is certified LEED Gold? the first in the US. (LEED = Leadership in Energy and EnvironmentalDesign) ? Peet?s have been a bit better than other US chains (Starbucks, Philz) at introducing coffee that?s organic, songbirdfriendly, or processed by the natural method, etc. ? Las Hermanas blend is ?100% women-produced, Fair Trade c Read more
Went to pick up my mobile order. They have an order door and on the left side of the coffee shop a pickup door. Really great... to avoid Covid. Read more
My first visit to Peet's. I loved it. The coffee seems more stronger than Starbucks. It was delicious and we'll made. Very busy... place. I don't think it's a place to sit and talk or do work on your laptop. Too many people at this location, to muchactivity!! But the coffee is exceptional so you must try it. You will be amazed.

Karen?s daughter ?Becka the Barrista? lied today. Not only did she assume I was Latina and called me Maria but she lied about... the delay of my hot chocolate. It took this site 20 minutes because I even went outside to use the restroom in this miniplaza. I asked what took my order long and had people who were in line before me get their order. Becca told me they weremobile orders and I said no, that man was right behind me. Becca made an excuse and said the Black Tie was easier to make.Easier than a hot chocolate with Oatmilk? Lol..She could have just told me they forgot instead. I would give the cash registerattendant 5 stars separately if I could. This is a rating pertaining to just today?s order only. I will modify it hoping theyread this review and be more aware of 1 persons action affecting the entire environment and business of this particularlocation. Read more
