Friendly service and peaceful atmosphere with seating inside and on side patio. Two gender neutral restrooms for customers. Nice selection of breakfast food and drinks for our road-trip back home. I ordered: - Medium hot oat latte (2 shots) - Medium hot vanilla oat latte (2 shots) - Open Water purified water - Crispy Ham & Swiss Sandwich read more

No soy milk and many pastries unavailable at 10:30 am, plus an longer than expected wait for my latte even though it wasn't busy. Disappointing! read more

Last Monday 8/25 between 1:45-2:10pm myself, a coworker, and an individual that we serve (whom is on the Autism Spectrum) came to Peet's to enjoy some treats. Our friend enjoys people watching, particularly at cafés, and the vibe started off great! He got a chocolate chip cookie. It wasn't too busy, so he easily found himself a personal table where he had kicked back, placed his feet on the chair across from himself, and made himself comfortable. My coworker and I sat at the table next to him. Michael, (an employee at Peet's) had just started his shift. After ringing up a customer, Michael deliberately walked over, placed his hands on the chair, and physically pulled the chair out from under our friend's feet. He didn't even wait for an answer, or give him an opportunity to move his feet himself. What is the problem with a calm individual, relaxing at a coffee shop, with his feet politely kicked up on a chair, enjoying a cookie? Imagine the sensory nightmare it is (especially for a human on the spectrum) to have someone come up to you, and rip a chair out from under your legs for no good reason. He was not disturbing anyone, he is well groomed, and was just enjoying his time at a coffee shop like anyone else. We have gone to dozens of coffee shops of the years, vibed the same way, and have always been met with kindness, and felt welcomed. The disrespect was not cool, and as regular coffee shop browsers, we will NOT be returning to this Peet's location. read more

Came for a bagel with cream cheese. They dont offer bagels. Ordered a frittata sandwich. After waiting 15 minutes I had to remind someone to go ahead and make it. Got served the fritatta without the rest of the sandwich. I asked them to fix the order and they refused. I left the fritatta on the counter and left without a refund. read more

I always need to stop by to get my matcha latte , oatmilk lattes, or flatwhite fix ( hot & cold) whenever I'm in Aptos or Santa Cruz. Their lattes are strong and smooth for mental and mood booster.

Their wifi is good for work, school. Highly recommend come here before the hike or get away from the town. read more

Took forever to make mine and daughters drinks,and then they go them wrong and remade them and still got them wrong again! Will not be coming back read more

Seems to be a great place for seniors, of which I am a member. I meet up my former co worker for coffee, which is far better than Starbucks. Pastries are good as are the croissants. There's lots of parking and they even reserve a spot for my motorcycle... Senior patrons. This is a nice sized location on the "island". But like everywhere else, prices have gone up. . Cappuccino 4/5 Medium $5.50 . Pastries 4/5 Varies $3-$5 each . Ambiance 4/5 Parking 5/5 read more

Peet's Coffee is my go-to spot! The service is always great, and the coffee is consistently excellent. They're straightforward, no fuss, and deliver exactly what I'm looking for every time. My only wish is that there was one closer to my house! read more

Came here today and ordered the hibiscus iced tea latte. It was very refreshing and tasty for a hot day. My order came out fast and it was not busy at all. There are a wide assortment of pastries and baked goods as well as coffee and tea drink options. The interior of this Peet's is huge and a great place to work or study. The employees are also very friendly and nice. This is definitely going to be one of my go to coffee stops. read more

Came here before a hike for a quick coffee. Only a small line around 1pm on a Saturday. I ordered the medium drip coffee medium roast, but they were out of the medium roast so I opted for a dark roast. The coffee is served super quickly and piping hot! This location has a ton of seating inside and out. Great place for a meet up, working session, or anything else read more

I got a matcha latte with regular milk. For almost $6 it would be nice if they knew how to make smooth foam. It's not a big ask, it's apart of the art of being a barista. I think more training would be really helpful to boost the quality. read more

This is my go-to coffee place. I always place a mobile order for pickup for my morning commute to work. The staff is friendly and efficient and they always remember to put the drink stopper in my coffee so there's no spillage during the ride to work. There are some days where they miss the mark and forget the flavor syrup that I ask for or the coffee is scalding and burned. However overall pretty damn good coffee. read more

Avoid this location. We recently purchased ground coffee which we purchase from another location. On a regular bases.It was horrible. When we tried to return it they refused to give us credit towards a replacement. We were told it was not Peet's policy. I contacted my regular location and they assured me they would have refunded me.. PS don't even try to call the number listed doesn't work. read more

Came for a simple drip coffee waited for about 3 people who ordered after me to get and served with attitude..avoid if possible - terrible customer service. read more

Nice coffee, but the service is Aptosian, which means that your time as a customer is practically meaningless. If you want anything quick - this place is not the right place. People in Aptos don't really have "careers" but rather temporary "gigs", and therefore there's no meaning to service or time read more

I've been here about a dozen times this year twice they messed up on my order. I also have to watch them because they tend to use milk instead of almond milk as requested and paid for. I've also placed an order before and waited over 15 minutes because they were filling Mobil orders first. Yes let's make a bunch of drinks for people who are not there. read more

So this Yelp review is definitely long over due!! Ive never once have had a bad experience here at Peet's in Rancho Del Mar shopping, and I want to personally shout out Estephanie,Daniel,and Cali for being amazing and making me feel so welcome every time I come in!!(almost every other day) even when it's super busy and they've got their hands and eyes on that Expresso machine they will still make the time to greet you going in and coming out,you guys are awesome thank you for making my coffee experience enjoyable every time read more

Ok at first my review was going to be mixed... I ordered what I thought was suggested by my friend... a large ice tea hibiscus.. what she was trying to encourage me to try was the fog version.. long story short I got the wrong thing by my doing.. I went back asked if they could make it "fog" because I had already dipped it they couldn't and a money thing which really wasn't the problem for me.. so I sat down with my friend with an oh well attitude..!a few minutes later the staff had alerted the manager of the mixup and he came and found me and promptly made me the intended beverage... boy that made my day and my loyalty read more

visiting from out of town went in there ordered some thing I never ordered before walked up to the coffee bar. There was a drink sitting there I said is this mine she said yes then I realized when she announced the next drink that I had the wrong one I brought the drink back over I apologized she was so rude to me. I must've apologized eight times then she talked crap about me to the customer that I accidentally took the drink to this brunette young gal needs to have an attitude adjustment.!!!!! I will never visit this Pete's coffee again read more

I just went in for a coffee on Tuesday, June 1 at 3:50 PM. My barista , a young woman with short hair, was incredibly rude and has no business in customer service. She acted self righteously and scolded me for not asking my cashier to leave room for cream. This young woman should be taught how to do her job because clearly she has no idea how to treat customers. read more

I was in Peet's Coffee in Aptos,Ca after I did my grocery shopping in Safeway next door. Although the is Starbucks inside of Safeway I wanna get a Peets coffee to change my test. After I get my coffee sit at a table and start snack my chicken nuggets when I zip my coffee. The cashier/barista came and said "we don't let people dine here, you need to go out!", asked "why?",he answered "we don't serve lunch!". Any sense! I told him I'm diabetic and have gastritis, it's because I have to eat something and you don't sell chicken nuggets!". He said 'you can use the outside tables but not in store!'. He didn't say even a "please" .He embarrassed me in front of other people and employees. I went out but feel bad. If it's not discrimination Is there such a policy? If any why they don't make it visible? Can they hire polite people there? I don't think me, my family and friends step in this store again. We have a lot of choices as customers, like Starbucks! read more

Have been here about 5 times now, usually if I'm stopping in to Safeway or RiteAid for something. Service is friendly and it's set up to handle heavy traffic. I usually get a coconut milk latte and they do a very good job on those. I've also tried several of their baked goods which are delicious. I think Peet's is a wonderful addition to the Aptos community. read more

I am not a coffee aficionado at all, but I do go for the Chai Latte and they carry soy milk, which some of the local shops do NOT. The staff are always friendly, and the service is usually pretty darn good. I am happy, but than again I am not a finicky coffee lover at all. I do prefer them over Starbucks. read more

Have always enjoyed Peet's until they stopped allowing customers to use their restrooms. When asked staff directs customers who have paid money to use chevron or a grocery stores restroom. Could someone explain how pushing their customers to use the bathroom of another business that they are not customers of is helping during a pandemic. This would cause more social interaction. This is very poor covid practice and a poor business practice which is making me have a very different impression of Peet's and how well the share the burden and their role in this pandemic. read more

Amazing place, amazing coffee, and incredibly welcoming staff. They made me feel welcomed to study here during covid and had very nice breezy areas to sit. They have cute marshmallows in the coffee too. I love it all! read more

Ordered a small coffee with cream Clark said we have no cream now this location is right next to a Safeway anyway my coffee was bad and they had no cream come on Pete's get it together read more

The coffee is nothing special. Typical chain with boring environment. I will avoid in future. Prefer local coffee shops.

WAY over priced coffee, and for that money, the minimum they can do is provide compostable straws.

Great service and excellent coffee. I had a big order which they got together rapidly and professionally. Friendly staff and warm atmosphere too. read more

Nice large coffee shop. Very clean and well laid out. The decor is modern and it great shape. WiFi is slow and I was never able to connect to it even though there was only 4 customers. Service is slow so if running in to get coffee and a hot chocolate before running chore bring a paper because it's going to be a while. At least they are polite and courteous. read more

So excited to have Peet's Coffee in Aptos. I came in today, 7/7/19, and had an okay experience. I think the baristas here are still learning to make drinks, because our drinks were not very good. Cali was not the friendliest barista and seemed like she didn't really want to be there. Gabby, while she was friendly, didn't make the best drinks. We got a hot chocolate that tasted like it was made with water instead of milk... or maybe the pitchers may have not been cleaned properly. It tasted like it had left over chai flavor. My thought is that it was made with the unsweetened powder instead of the cocoa syrup. I definitely will come back as I am sure the baristas will get better in time. Definitely check the place out! read more

I came here to do homework and I felt very unwelcome there. Before I bought a drink, I sat down and put my bag on the other seat at the table and a worker (I think owner) came and took the chair away and said that it was for the customers only very rudely. read more
