friendly staff and quick service at this location! Peet's used to be one of my favorite coffee places in college, and I'm so glad they have one in Chicago. Fairly cheaper than most coffee places nearby, but tastes just as good. The location is slightly small with no seating on the inside, but it's cozy and there's plenty of outdoor seating. [note as of march 2025, this location has closed.] read more

As someone originally from the Bay Area, it is wonderful being about the to go to downtown and get a Peet's coffee. The coffee baristas were wonderful despite their being a long wait due to many customers in person and mobile order. They were able to keep all the customers aware of the order wait times and the coffee came out great. It was a wonderful pick me up and the artwork inside keeps one entertained a bit while standing for the order. I would go back to this location next time I'm in the area. read more

This has become, for me, the spot for a good, strong, reasonably priced cup of coffee while I'm in the immediate area. Two varieties of tea are also available. Service is very quick. The station for cream, sugar, etc., is along the far left wall, and that's a bit inconvenient. right behind some of the tables, making it awkward if someone is sitting there. The space is also not really meant for more than 1, maybe 2, to stand at a time, meaning at a busier time, there may be a backup. Cocoa and cinnamon are also available in metal shaker cups, but beware - at least for the cocoa, it comes out really quickly (fine for cocoa, not so good for cinnamon). I was secretly pleased to walk through the lobby of the hotel at which I'm staying showing that I found better coffee nearby where I got more and better for less cost. read more

Great chai latte - it's my drink of choice at any cafe. Always good from Peet's. Buy often from Pete's.

Peet's coffee is great for a quick coffee and they had lots of seasonal options! The server was friendly and love the outdoor patio they have here for the summer. The latte was not too sweet and would go back to try other drinks here. read more

The quality of the locations for Peet's does tend to vary - this location tends to run out of stock quickly just because of the amount of people that come through, but they keep it clean and there are plenty of outlets around. I think it's a great coffee shop ambiance - plenty of people working as well as a couple just coming in to read. Service is standard but can be slower just based on how many employees are working - Starbucks orders may come out quicker but Peet's coffee is much tastier in my opinion! The staff here are also really sweet and friendly (one complimented my hair, so sweet!). The app supports a good reward program if you are a frequent coffee drinker like myself. I would recommend the horchata cold brew oat latte if you're looking for a treat! read more

Super friendly service here. They are fast and try to get your order out as soon as possible. The location is not too busy and there are a few tables to sit and do work. It is located on a not so busy street and there is street parking all around. My go to is the matcha latte here and it's my favorite because they make it unsweetened. read more

I wish I could give them a higher rating. At best, the coffee is acceptable. One of their issues is that the coffee is often served warm, not hot. The coffee is worse tasting when they're busy and cold when they're not busy. read more

Thank you, Shay, for your pleasant and cheerful presence while taking orders. The line was out the door on Sunday morning, but you kept your composure and delivered 'joy' to your customers. Our specialty coffees were tasty as well. read more

I love the coffee, the food, and the convenient location! I have loved Peet's coffee for decades since living in the Berkeley area years ago. There are no locations where i live now, so i have a subscription for coffee shipped fresh, straight from the roaster. It was a pleasure visiting this location while traveling to Chicago. I was very impressed with the baked goods! The fruit cheese danish is life-changing!! Great job guys!! I wish you were in Honolulu! read more

I do like their coffee. Many drinks are on the sweet side but you can always ask for a reduction of syrup. Staff was really helpful!

Peet's was one of the closest coffee spots to my hotel, so I visited it a couple of times during my stay in Chicago. Prior to this, I only knew Peet's via Keurig's K-Cups, so I was surprised to see it was a chain with actual brick and mortars. This Peet's gave me urban Starbucks vibes. It wasn't big inside, but there was enough space that I didn't feel cramped despite at least a dozen people waiting. They have a small seating area and even more outside, so there shouldn't be a struggle to find a place to plant yourself. My order was always an iced coffee - ideally I get coconut milk in it but they didn't have so I just went with half/half. Their carbs weren't bad; I had one of their scones which was just fine - their blueberry-lemon muffins were better. Service was good - both mornings I went there was a steady flow of people and things were running smoothly. Overall, Peet's is a solid spot for coffee, and is worth stopping in if you need a caffeine fix. read more

The store was crazy-busy but the staff was efficient and got our order in a reasonable time. Our breakfast sandwiches were terrific as was the chocolate croissant we shared. I recommend this place if you are looking for a reasonably priced breakfast option read more

I was excited to try the new featured matcha frozen latte. I have to say, I can't really recommend it, though. It also ended up being $7. For a drink with a hint of green without any detectable flavor of matcha, that unfortunately didn't cut it for me. Service was good, relatively fast. Everyone seemed to be working hard, and it was a busy morning. Parking is metered street parking. In terms of ambience, it was very well air conditioned (which is ideal for the sweltering summer), and the place was clean. There is both indoor and outdoor patio seating. read more

Slow service, out of the food items that I wanted and unclean. I'll try somewhere else next time.

Good fun neighborhood place. Starbuck-ish of course. Food was warmed up frozen items in the microwave. Coffee was great.

Average store in the Peet's system. Quality of the products, espresso drinks and pastries, are good. Inconsistency of service and cleanness should be better. Also, pretty often you can see new employees not trained enough to take care of morning crowd. read more

Peet's Coffee - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

When a chain store hits all the beats, it deserves 5 stars as I gave this Peet's On a blustery day, nothing hits the spot like a hot beverage. Peet's Coffee (originally from Berkeley California) turn it to the famous Seattle-based chain Starbucks. One thing that tends to be true at Peet's is the great java. This outpost was no exception. Deliciously hot, my almond milk latte came to me after only brief waits in line to order & less than 3 min to pick up. I used to work as a mystery shopper on the side (partially so that I could get free Peet's coffee) and I know that in less than three minutes is their target time to deliver a beverage. So they nailed that. Taste was perfect no bitterness nor burned flavor. Just goodness of latte! The staff was warm and attentive and the team I observed seemed to all enjoy each other and serving tasty javas. The background music is mild and not obtrusive - relaxing but not sleepy. Everything was clean that I could see - counters, service area, shelves of goodies. I enjoyed my 15 min here away from the chill outside. It's a nice, quick stop for nourishment. read more

There is a new hire manager at the 41 E 8th St, Chicago, IL 60605 by the name of Winston I have been going to this location for four years and under his management customers have suffered the staff have free rain over who to and not as per their personal bias, the manager has cultivated a culture of prisonization he has offered long time customers with remarks and threats. This is not a person who fit for his role and more so for promotion. Gerard Corbett read more

I've never been here before but I just moved to the south loop and this is now the closest coffee shop to me. I loved peppermint mochas and i love that they have oat milk! so much better tasting than regular milk especially for coffee. I also got the new turkey sausage cranberry pretzel roll sandwich and it is reallllllly frickin good. Like i could see myself going there for these regularly during the holiday season. the slight sweetness and tartness from the cranberry spread is perfect and the sausage patty is HUGE. like at least twice the size of one you'd see at mcdonald's or dunkin. really good read more

So glad to have this Peet's nearby my apartment! Super hot day, and I needed iced coffee. The staff here are excellent. It was so nice that Laurie came outside to say "hello" to my BIG dog! I love how they are pet-friendly here. They saw that I was watching my dog who was sitting outside; so the guy finished preparing my ice coffee with milk for me and the woman who heated my croissants passed them to me. read more

WON'T LET PAYING CUSTOMERS USE RESTROOM Absolutely the worst coffee shop treatment in the city. The " manager " Andrew supposedly was his name, was extremely rude and condescending. We asked him to use the restroom and he has both restrooms locked and told us they're out of order. I asked him where does he go if he had to go and he rolled his eyes at us and said " I don't " The cashier was just as rude. I am in customer service so this angers me that people in a job like theirs don't know how to treat customers kindly or at least make them feel welcomed. I wish I can give negative stars ... read more

Ordered a big Peets Togo cold brew box (100 ounces ) at this location, called the night before , they said yes they could do it . Stopped in in the morning , nope , manager never heard of it ! Ordered coffee , it took 20 minutes to get our coffee order! WTF , either fix this Peets or close it down and open on north side . The Evanston location is well run btw , should have gone there. read more

went at 6:15 workers just staring at me wouldnt open the door never going here again horrible service and zero mannerisms

Love Peet's coffee. Would have preferred trying something local but there was nothing else nearby. Location was clean and service was great. Some of these 1 star negative reviews are ridiculous. I didn't get a straw for my drink and stood there for 30 whole seconds without being acknowledged? Oh you poor thing. God forbid you open your mouth and ask the barista that's busting their ass making drinks for your precious straw... read more

I came specifically for the name of this coffee shop. My boyfriends name is Pete, and I came to grab a coffee tumblr with Peet's Coffee logo. The barista in the shop was extremely understanding when I walked in 5 minutes to close just to buy this cup. I am grateful for the kindness, hospitality and cleanliness experienced in Peet's coffee. I only gave 4 stars because technically I didn't try any of the coffee, but the place was beautiful, and smelt like fresh ground coffee.... better than any Starbucks ;) read more

The coffee and Erick's attitude are both always lukewarm at best and leave a lot to be desired. I'm unimpressed by both.
