The staff are all friendly and reminds me of cheers where "everybody knows your name." the service is great, especially between 6 and 7 AM when everybody's rushing to get to work, positive attitude, kind and always wearing a smile. Nice to hear old school style music. My family and I have been coming here for the past ten years and we plan to keep coming. We love Peet's coffee and teas.
One of 42 different coffees at Peet's called the Big Bang recommended by Shine, who was enthusiastic and awesome! Thank you, shine! Even though I like my coffee hot, the coffee can be too hot at times where I have to wait 5-10 for a little sip. I feel Peet's is underrated and has an edge on Starbucks on the coffee strength and flavor tip, if we're talking about an all black cup of coffee. Just how I like it. Haven't really explored Peet's on their speciality drinks though, so I can't speak on the comparison. Recommend the Big Bang for all my fellow black coffee drinkers!
Great location excellent staff with amazing customer service and excellent drink making consistency
If you live in the Bay Area, you're familiar with Peet's Coffee. There are plenty of location throughout the area. I've visited Peet's locations in Berkeley, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay and several other spots nearby. In a strange sort of way, this might be a quintessential location -- a spot that is unpretentious as it is quirky. It serves all of the great coffee and tea drinks that we've come to admire (and I'm looking at you, Major Dickenson blend). However, it also serves a respectable assortment of coffeehouse bakery staples too. Yet, what makes this particular spot fun is the location. It is on the corner of two busy streets (the corner of Grand Avenue and Airport Blvd.) and located in a building that seems as old as South City. It's in a very cool old building (seemingly as old as South San Francisco itself). I often visit this part of South San Francisco...and I usually arrive by Caltrain. So, with the new train station FINALLY completed (a couple of years behind schedule of course), this has been my go-to spot for a cup of coffee or tea. This is great for those cold mornings in the area (even in the summer). The shop staff and baristas are nice too. They are patient with the noobs and generally offer some optimism on the side (free of charge). Consequently, they make a nice location even nicer. Well done! *You won't find much in terms of parking. There are spots on Grand Avenue; however, most require parking meters (limited to two hours).
I love Pete's coffee. It's bold. It's smoky smooth. It's delicious! If you want real coffee, and great customer service look no further than Pete's
I love being able to taste my coffee even when getting mixed coffee drinks which is why I'm more of a Peet's Coffee girl (than Starbucks). Some of my favorites are - iced lattes, black tie, and their mocha Javiva (their version of frappuccinos). I've also gotten whole beans by Peet's from Costco which were not bad and a good deal. They also sell Chemex filters in case you run out at home which I really like because Amazon up charges on those by ALOT! It might be hard to find parking around here sometimes but it's such a nice neighborhood for a stroll so parking a few blocks away is usually not a problem for me. Overall, I really like Peets and it doesn't feel like a compromise when I have to come here because they have a nice robust coffee flavor which I love!
Came in this morning to try the new Vegan Plant Based Breakfast sandwich. The gentleman behind the counter had a great personality and smile. Very friendly. I ordered the new 100% plant based breakfast sandwich and a small americano. Came to $10 The flavor of the sandwich was great, however the bagel is larger than the sausage, cheese and egg, so there are bites that are just the bagel. The cheese, the egg and the sausage patty are all plant based. Some places advertise plant based sandwich, but the cheese and egg are not plant based. They are at Peet's and it tasted great. The bagel is a thin everything bagel so it makes it much better to bite into. Parking can be a little tough as it is at the bottom of Grand Ave and parking is limited. If you have the app you can order ahead. I hope they keep perfecting this sandwich by adapting the size so you get deliciousness in every bite!
Having my Christmas coffee - Snowcap Mint Macha Latte(with Soy milk).. 4 stars because I taste more soy milk than the coffee itself :(
