5/5 Service 5/5 Parking 5/5 Drinks 1/5 Getting out of the Area... My go-to spot for coffee needs or a little pick me up. This is a great place to study or do work for those who would like to work elsewhere. I do see a lot of people always working in the shop. There are plenty of free parking spaces in the lot and around the area. BUT getting out of the area is SO BAD. When I try to exit out of the area, it's so hard to get out since a lot of cars drive by. Very cute place though! read more

A bunch of inexperienced people trying to do their best but do not have answers, slow and do not know what to do. They keep looking for help. Experienced people busy serving coffees. I ordered a box of coffee. 5 mins cashier didn't know what to do. Keeping an eye on experienced person to have eye contact and ask questions. I asked how long it'd take and they mentioned immediately when there was a long time ahead of me. 10 mins later they asked me what kind of coffee and starts brewing. Definitely they do not know what they are doing and not trained sufficiently. Experienced people instead of serving coffees first should make sure team is functional. Definitely then cashier is super unhappy and thinks they had done a bad job, which they did and not really their problem. read more

4.5 stars Out of the many times I've been here, whether at the drive thru or walk in, my drinks have tasted great compared to other Peet's I've been to. I order: iced lattes and iced matcha -espresso is not bitter -iced lattes not watered down (I order with almond milk and almond milk tends to be more watery), but doesn't happen to me here! -iced matcha isn't full of foam. More milk I will continue to come here for their drive thru, spacious seating area, and friendly staff that I have encountered every time. read more

Very Mid level coffee shop. Their best thing going for them is their chai tea latte. Their pastry game is weak. I am giving them props for having a drive thru though. read more

Drive though: the guy there just must hate his job. Attitude from the speaker to the window and rolling eyes when asked a question. We don't need to be friends or talk endlessly but I'm sure if I gave him the attitude he gives it would be a problem. read more

Wow Peet's with a drive thru! Okay, it's the little things and there isn't one close to me...first time at this location and love the industrial/modern/loft chic-ness and airy feel of this place...it makes me feel like I'm getting some 'fancy' coffee at a high-end boutique. Friendly staff, clean and well stocked areas and plenty of room to move around and wait for your coffee as it's being prepared...I hate going to places where you have to wait for ur coffee in this small area with tables or people hovering while your seating at one of the tables...separate area for seating and working which is big plus. Haven't been here during peak hours but will definitely return to experience the morning coffee rush and report back! :) read more

Peet's here has a drive thru which should be worth 4 stars. another plus, seating area is YUGE itself and looks really nice. sadly, it's just 3.5 stars. -only 1 table fully occupied and the parking lots full. -directions to drive thru lane isn't easily seen. (in retrospect, it's obvious) brew: s. dark roast(2.4) major dickonson -tasted just ok, wasn't too flavorful nor bold -service was quick, no one in line. read more

Peet's offered free coffee today for Teachers Appreciation Week. I got into the drive-thru and checked if they were participating. I was surprised that they gave me choices between coffee, tea and ICED COFFEE AND I got to pick the size! I gave them a tip and left with a big cup of refreshing iced coffee that was made perfectly. I asked not to add any sugar but the drink tasted sweet because Peet's offered it to me for free! It's almost bedtime and I am still smiling. It feels great to be appreciated as a teacher! Thank you, Peet's, for brightening up my Monday and the rest of the week! read more

Peet's Coffee - No lid They pour the cold milk! Very bad costumer service! this location I will never go back again! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

Date: 4/20/2016 Time: 3:35 PM 72° Clear & sunny Husband and I drove by yesterday and noticed Peet's opened. We couldn't stop to get anything right away. It's not too often I give a business a five star rating. Those ratings are far few and in between. This Peet's is by far the best looking one of all the Peet's I have been to. I walk in and I am totally blown away. Wow...this place is awesome; totally awesome compared to the one on the corner of Park & Central here in town. Peet's Coffee & Tea is located at the site of the former Burger King. The layout is excellent. I don't need to say more of the amenities, except kudos to the people who designed this place. Location is convenient for college students using their laptops for research, class assignments, etc. Wi-Fi availability. Ambiance: Very spacious and comfortable. Indoor seating to the left of the main entrance. There is a communal table for at least 8 people. To the right of the entrance is the restroom facility and the counter with all the necessities (lids, napkins, straws, stirrers, sugar, honey, etc.) Wheelchair accessible. Patio seating available outside. It has a drive thru and plenty of parking in the back. Relaxing soft music playing and a bit of old school, rock 'n roll. Natural light from outside and soft lighting inside exude a certain degree of comfort to the eyes...not harsh and not dimly lit, as compared to that certain coffee & tea place across the street near the Walgreen's. Customer service: top notch and superb. Very friendly baristas. Cleanliness: Excellent - Grade A++. Specialties: coffee and tea, of course. Breakfast pastries, muffins, sandwiches; salads, yogurt, loaf cake, cookies, scones, bottled water, etc. Eats and beverage: Orzo salad with sun dried tomatoes, cucumber, olives and herb vinaigrette and a 16 oz. pomegranate berry herbal iced tea. (Peet's no longer serves the hibiscus breeze - darn). Manager recommended the aforementioned tea. Great tasting iced tea and bravo for his recommendation! Welcome to the neighborhood, Peet's. You are a gem of a place with a welcoming ambiance. read more

I love this place. Super nice and friendly staff plus very spacious with plenty of seating inside and out. Also they have a drive thru which is a plus for my friends but I usually like to grab it inside because I dont like my car running if there's a long wait. They have plenty of parking too since there is a parking lot behind the establishment. Drinks are made quickly so I dont mind coming here if I am running late to work or other errands. For drinks I like their iced vanilla latte, black tie or just a regular americano sometimes. download the peets app and check in. 15 points gives you a free reward and sometimes they have 2x points or 3x the points on specific drinks. read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

I am not sure what happened to this location but there is trash everywhere and a really bad smell. The coffee lid also had a trash smell. I don't think I will ever return. Not sure what is going on with management. read more

Came here because my kid wanted a chocolate croissant and a hot chocolate so we rolled on through the drive-through. I decided to get a couple items myself one being that Caprese sandwich, which is totally amazing, and also wanted to try one of their new drinks asked for a cold, but when I approached the window to pay and receive the items, they handed me a hot drink, which was supposed to be cold nicely. explain that I asked for this code, which it comes like that, so it wasn't like I was being difficult, and instead of the employee saying sorry about that or let me get you an iced one. He argued with me that I ordered it hot. Which I found very rude that he was literally arguing with me calling me a liar. I don't see that as a good customer service. Especially when he rolled his eyes as he handed me the correct drink I ordered after remaking it. read more

Do not come here on your rush because their drive thru SUCKs. Not too many cars either.. coffee is always good, but they still need to continue to get their kinks in place.... I can't just explain my frustration in WORDS!!!! J read more

Peet's Coffee - Uncertain why their drive thru service takes forever!! What's the purpose of drive thru and especially on Sunday AM - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

Really 5 stars for their cappuccino, but let me explain the 3 stars. I used to love this Peet's because the service was excellent. I'd come here to study or just to get the cafe vibes to sip on a latte. Over time, it got extremely crowded and homeless people started sitting around screaming at people. They were generally harmless, so I didn't mind. Now, however, service isn't great, or the lack of. I really needed to use the restroom and home was still quite a way, so I thought Peet's! And yes, Peet's has a good women's restroom because there are two stalls - one handicap stall and one regular stall. Anyway, after using the restroom, I felt bad about not ordering anything, so the anti social me decided to order through the app even though I was at the store. I ordered a cappuccino. It said it'd be ready in a few minutes. I waited and waited..over 20 minutes. I watched them make orders..lots of drive thru orders. They seemed short staffed because machines were beeping and employees looking stress. I was patient and kept waiting. After around 25 minutes, I was like they must have skipped the order. I stood there for a long time all while they called out names and knew I was waiting for something. I tried to get their attention, but still ignored. Finally I stopped someone and said I was waiting for a mobile order only for the guy to look confused and said did you order to the right store. I was like yes, this is the only Webster store. They asked for the name and then 30 seconds later, the cashier puts a cappuccino in the mobile order area with the lid not fully closed without apologizing. It was probably a drink already made and forgotten for a good 25 minutes. Good thing I wasn't in a rush because that was a lot of time waiting for a drink. Anyway, since Peet's lattes and cappuccinos are typically boiling hot (I've been burned a few times - literally), it was the perfect temp when I took a sip in the car. Plus, the cappuccino was actually pretty darn good. Had things went smoothly, I would have loved to give this Peet's 5 stars. I've been going to Highwire, Signal, and Coffee Cultures for my coffee fix lately that I forgot about Peet's. Sure, they don't do any latte art anymore..either too busy or don't have the skills. Whatever the case, the cappuccinos are good! I'll still come back to order something if I desperately need a decent restroom for emergencies. read more

Conveniently located on Webster and a short walk from COA if you need a coffee break or to hang around before or after a class. This location has a drive through, which is a nice addition. Always had positive experiences here during my visit. Wish they had a larger shared parking lot. read more

Haven't gotten my coffee yet. Decided to try drive thru cause there wasn't street parking. WTF...it is taking so long and I am stuck in the line. read more

Wonderful service despite a tremendously intimidating drive-thru line as well as in side. Still greeted quickly and graciously, with some delightful small talk both at the register and with the charming barista. Then to top it all off he just had to show his hand crafted drink of art so he gave me the lid on the side. Overall experience was definitely exceptional. With all the hustle and bustle that Saturday mornings bring in this area I tip my hat to these employees for making me feel acknowledged, taken care of, and lifting my spirits. Good coffee is one thing but this caliber, delivered with such joy was refreshing and definitely earned my loyalty. read more

Peet's Coffee - Order pickup - mask required - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

The staff at this location is hit and miss. Yesterday I purchased a pound of coffee and received the complimentary cup of brewed coffee the clerk was very pleasant. Went this morning at around 11:30 it was not busy was trying to use a reward and couldn't get it on the app the clerk was not at all helpful and basically said he would void it and for me to step aside to wait on the person behind me they were not that crowded. At other Pete's the clerks are very helpful and usually just make the few tabs on my phone and we are on our way. I will avoid this location in the future read more

My boyfriend and I went back here because it was closer to our final destination. We both ordered hazelnut mochas (members only menu item) and they were delicious! This time around, the staff was following COVID-19 safety protocols (I did not see anyone's nose hanging out of their masks). Looking forward to coming back here. read more

Always love your coffee and drive thru! Why the low stars? Your out of two breakfast sandwiches so your menu should reflect that.

This location is not a bad place to study. There are plenty of tables and seats available inside and outside. They even have a drive-thru for convenience! I usually come here for their "Coffee of the Day". I've tried their soy latte and white mocha before, but it was wayyyy too sweet for me. I don't recommend anything but their coffees. Overall, this is just another convenient place to study or to get some hot coffee!! read more

Drive through sucks!!! Literally have been in line for 30 min. What's the point ? Inside is no better

I was so excited to have time to spend at this location drinking coffee while finishing up my work. This is the fanciest Peet's I have ever seen. I walked in and ordered my drink. Service was awesome, fast and friendly and my drink was tasty. I turned around to sit, no tables, this place gets SUPER packed. Single parties also sit by themselves at larger tables so that doesn't help. I went outside because it was decent weather and there were available tables but I wasn't comfortable anywhere due to the smokers club posted outside the front door. There was a group of 5-6 men with no coffee cups just chain smoking. It was disgusting. No matter where you sat outside you were enveloped with second hand smoke and the loud obnoxious conversation they were having. Cloud of smoke surrounding the Peet's coffee and unfortunately it ruined my experience there. read more

I can not for the life of me understand how people can rate this place above 1 star, I guess it would make sense if you truly do not enjoy coffee and instead prefer sweet milk. This location has a drive through which has brought ne to this place more times than I'd like due to convenience. Everytime I add an additional espresso shot and ask for half the Mount of sweetness. Every. Single. Time. The falls upon Def ears. Sugar milk is what I get, they haven't a clue how to portion espresso, and this is the only location where this happens every single time. I hardly leave yelp reviews, but it's only fair that I warn others to not choose convenience through the drive through over a decent coffee. Buyer beware read more

I've been coming here for a few years now.. A couple times a month. They are very friendly and helpful.. But lately.. They seem to have a ton of new staff members with no customer service skills. I was charged 3 dollars extra for my drink and didn't notice till it was too late because they don't tell you your price at the window anymore?? They don't ask for your Peets membership.. I tried today to give my number and the lady...didnt hear me.. She was too busy to look at me me I guess. Then she said it was too late. I don't know what happened but everyone there now seems like they hate being there and they hate that we come there for coffee. I've had 3 bad occasions there's in the last 2 weeks. These new team mmebers need some serious training. read more

This Peet's coffee location is very unique. Unlike other Peet's stores, this location has a drive-thru window. Additionally, it has both indoor and an outdoor seating area. There is parking, but it can be limited when all the students are there studying after school. Unfortunately, this location doesn't accept mobile orders. read more

Atmosphere: I come here 3x a week to work on my school and job applications. I find the spacious layout with plenty of seating to fit my needs exactly. About half the seats are outlet accessible and it isn't too loud compared to its competitor, not too many people ordering drinks requiring the blender.. making it a comfy environment to study or have a conversation with friends. Coffee: Strong, tasty coffee. The baristas know their stuff, a few even do latte art! For a chain store, I'm impressed. I always order my coffee in a "for here" mug if I plan to stay for a while, a better drinking experience IMO. Tips: There's always $1 off coupons, just google it. 10 cents off if you bring your own cup. Gripes: Sometimes they get my drink wrong, even when they aren't busy.. They either realize it before handing me the cup or happily remade it when I brought it to their attention. Not really a big deal butI hate seeing them waste coffee! Plus: Bathrooms are clean and there's a parking lot. read more

I don't often leave reviews for larger chain establishments, but felt compelled to leave this one for Peet's. I was having a challenging and busy morning and went through the convenient and covid-friendly drive through to pick up coffee for my husband and me. I wasn't in a great mood and I was behind schedule. The guy who took my order was so friendly and in such great spirits he immediately turned my morning around. I can't remember his name, but he was manning the delivery window around 8:30am on Sat, Dec. 12th, had a ton of positive energy and if he's reading this, I wanted him to know that it was noticed and appreciated. In terms of my order, the coffee and latte were delicious and hot, but it was the service that earned these five stars. read more

UPDATE: This Peet's has gotten much better in terms of wait time. The drive-thru is still dicey sometimes, but if there are a bunch of cars I just go inside and usually get out quickly. And of course, Peet's is the best coffee anywhere. Okay, I'm back. read more

I'm a HUGE fan of this Peet's.. I don't remember the last time I liked a Peet's this much. I love that the drinks actually taste personally crafted. I wouldn't compare this to Starbucks in that it feels more like a local cafe as opposed to the chain that it is. The pastries themselves aren't the bomb.. they're pretty standard, and the bagels can sometimes be a little doughy. I frequented this place a lot when I was working from home, and it was really a very regular crowd. I feel like I saw the same people all the time, and I even sat next to the same person a few times. Luckily, we were normal human beings and actually spoke to each other :) I would definitely come here again, and it's a great place to get work down. That's what most people are doing... working. But there are handfuls of people who are there just reading or catching up with friends. Great atmosphere! read more

I keep going to this place because there is a drive thru and it's a five minute drive from my house. At first the excessively slow line was understandable but as the weeks have worn on and the service has slowly and steadily declined I find it completely unacceptable to spend my money there. I'm not gonna call out any specific employees by name- (though I could). Suffice to say it's probably better just to avoid this place and take your money somewhere where they are polite and respectful that you are choosing to spend your money there. Couple the rude service with the absolute incompetence and lack of proficiency and you've got what I would call a "must miss" Two stars because one time when i waited at the window for approximately ten minutes for two drinks the male cashier was intelligent enough to give me a free drink card without me having to say anything. If you're in a rush don't think that a short drive thru line here equates to a quick transaction. read more

I was never a Peetnik until I recently started coming to this location. For some reason, I thought the coffee would be too strong and the lines too long. Well, I was wrong! I get the daily dark roast and have not gotten the heartburn issues I was expecting and the coffee is delicious. Moreover, the staff is so efficient, it's rarely a long wait despite how many people are in line. The store is really clean and doesn't have that hectic atmosphere that I have experienced at other nearby coffee places. I can't believe I missed out for so many years because of my fear of the unknown! read more

Okay, so worst experience every at this location. First, I have been drinking green tea matcha lattes with honey syrup and no foam please, from Peet's for the longest so I know how my drink should taste and how I like it. I pull up through the drive through to place my order and ask the cashier if she could make sure that the powder is mixed well. Her response was they steam the milk in so it's already mixed well. first mistake "I wonder if she has ever even had a green tea matcha latte "? The powder mixture is almost never mixed well‍. Second mistake I received my drink and its full of foam ‍. This cashier attitude fucking sticks! I drive off after getting my drink for the 3 time and I am not exactly sure what was put into it but it damn sure no longer had the taste of a green tea matcha latte. I go into the store to return the drink and get my refund and they lady at this cash register acted as if she did not want to refund me. she calls David over, the same man who made my drink (totally ignoring the the no foam in my cup part lol) and he acted as if did not want to give me a refund as well. Okay, so I am not going to explain myself not one more time about what's wrong with this drink and why I don't want it anymore. I count 5 times going back and forth with 3 different people about my drink that I paid for not being made right . "I want a refund", take your drink back and give me my refund ". Okay so this is what I was thinking Third mistake, David gave me $5 back, I paid $5.45 for my drink. David did not believe me and had to go check on the drive through register because he thought that I was trying to cheat him out of 0.45 cents "Well, damn if the drink only cost $4.95 per David and I have been paying $5.45 every damn week; exactly who is cheating who". I want my .50 cents x 2 drinks per week for the last 12 months at least. I am a coffee and tea drinker to the point of withdrawal after a couple of hours from not having caffeine but I will die on my death bed before I ever come back to this damn Peet's. read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

I found their service to be incredibly rude. I came in to exchange coffee filters and was given an attitude by the manager on duty complaining about making an exchange. In this day and age, and exchange shouldn't be as difficult as they made it out to seem. Then, after ordering my coffee with cream, I asked for more cream because the coffee was still very dark. The cashier told me, rather rudely, that next time I need to say extra cream because she supposedly put in the standard amount of cream. I have been coming to Peete's for over a decade now and from my experience, the amount of cream she put in was far less than what I have gotten in the past. Even still, this isn't something I feel should be corrected rudely about towards a paying customer. The manager and cashier that I interacted with today need an attitude adjustment, should remember that customer service matters, and that their approach to customer service stinks. read more

We come here every weekend and they always have good service and knows how to make my favorite white mocha with the add extra shot of espresso, but today we came and I had my drink was so light than dry cappuccino so I check inside was full of foam and mostly whip cream so I asked the guy why just so light and I can't even sip the coffee and. He started giving me that look with attitude and he said "do you want me to make you another one and I said yes if it's ok and slammed the window because we we're on the drive thru. So I got another coffee but was so cold and not even warm like the kids temperature... what this gentleman did to my drink was so messed up and he's probably a shift lead or a manager Your service was not acceptable, thanks a lot read more
