    Coconut Black Tie (not on the menu, but they can make it)
    Mike L.

    Look, I get it - when it comes to the likes of Starbucks, Peet's, or any other chain, coffee related or not, if you've been to one, you've practically been to them all. Which, after all, is kind of the point. So really, the only things worth noting might be about the location, the service, and/or if something really good or bad happened. Which, in the case of the latter, is what brings me here! While I try to support local, independent coffee shops whenever I can, there's no denying that the chains have a certain value to them. More often than not, when I do visit one, it's usually a Starbucks because, well...more often than not, they're the closest one around! However, if given the option, I'll usually opt for Peet's instead, especially if I need a caffeine fix. Not only do I find their house blend to be stronger, but they have one of my favorite drinks around - THE BLACK TIE. Made with Cold Brew Iced Coffee, Condensed Milk, Chicory Simple Syrup, and a Half & Half, the taste is similar to that of a Vietnamese coffee. Yet, despite how many times I've ordered it, it wasn't until coming to this Peet's that I learned of existence of the COCONUT BLACK TIE. Subbing Monin Coconut syrup for the chicory one, the taste feels slightly brighter and more tropical. As for the rest of my experience here, it was largely similar to any of my visits to any other Peet's in the past. The inside is both quiet and clean, the general vibe is cozy, and there is a good amount of seating (there was even a person who setup two monitors on a table, which I've never seen before, anywhere). As for parking, there were a bunch of spaces in the lot, but I could see it being a bit more challenging during peak hours, as there's also a Chipotle, Panda Express, and a Trader Joe's in the same complex. And, of course, I'd be remiss not to shout out to the staff here for teaching me something new that all of my years of going to Peet's never did before. The more you know (insert star shooting across the sky with a rainbow tail).

    Warm up inside!!

    Consistent brand which has robust coffee options. Cheaper, cleaner, & better tasting than St*rbuck$. Ample seating inside or out, easy to access by foot in downtown area, & clean bathrooms. Grab a cuppa and enjoy a walk to the beach or read a book in a peaceful location. You won't be disappointed.

    Peet's coffee has been the perfect morning stop for my friend and me. Kim, one of the barista's, is super friendly, always smiling, warm, welcoming and very helpful. The coffee and pastries are good but she makes coming to Peet's a joy. We came three days in a row, and after the first day, she remembered us by name. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

    Iced vanilla latte with quite a bit of grounds
    Joy Y.

    This place is in a really convenient location inside the same plaza as Trader Joe's in the downtown Monterey area. There is plenty of free parking available, but the lot does get busy. There's ample seating inside and outside there is a nice area that they seem to share with the outdoor bar next door. Staff are friendly. I ordered an iced vanilla latte. Coffee takes a while to be made. Perhaps it's the slower vibe here. I was a bit disappointed because it was very heavy handed with the syrup and there was quite a bit of grounds that gave me a sandy sensation as I drank.

    Not sure why there's so many bad reviews. Maybe you should just order coffee and not the sushi? Clean place, friendly service, fast turnaround. Give Peet a break, he's trying his best.

    Latte
    Nicole P.

    The drinks are good here, nice environment for a pick-me-up before going to work or school. Good service too. So far I've had the Americano, Latte, Drip Coffee, Chai Latte, and Matcha Latte and all have been good and energizing without the caffeine or sugar crash afterward, which is a huge plus for me. You have the option of sweetened or unsweetened Matcha Lattes. There's free WiFi, it's clean, organized, and has an LA-paced vibe. Great place for a cup or pastry to go or to hop on your laptop for a little while and take advantage of your rewards on their app. Excited to try the food selection soon. Love this place

    Service was so bad. Came in for our first time and we were treated differently than the other customers. They didn't ask us if we wanted our food items warmed up. We had to tell them. My daughter's chocolate croissant was hard as a rock. Definitely won't be coming back to a Peet's coffee. We'll stick to our usual Starbucks runs, and get great service and better drinks and food!

    Love this Peets Coffee Shop here. Staff are great and warm. My cappuccino always comes out good (great baristas!) The place is always clean.

    I really like the white moca here! and is a really cool place to stay and do some work. The last time I was there the bread was not that good, but still a great place to relax and enjoy a good coffee.

    Good coffee and nice outdoor seating! Also got the raspberry scone, but it wasn't that great. Little too doughy for a scone.

Everything tasted amazing. I love the croissant (chocolate and ham&cheese). Super flaky and flavorful and sinful. My son said it was the best ham & cheese ever. They also served a special mushroom tartine which was lovely. The backyard outdoor sitting area is super cute. Would definitely come back again!!

Latte was decent, not too bitter or acidic and it was creamy They try a lot of variations for pastries, both savory and sweet! The savory danish was really tasty and there was some pickled / citrus component that added more depth and made it super interesting to eat! The salmon croissant was alright, had a really nice flaky crust but the filling tasted kinda gamey , would've been nice to have another component to balance it out. Cookies were niceeeee the buckwheat choco cookie had nice amounts of sea salt and was like a brownie texture on the inside. Choco chip cookie was thin and crispy on the outside with chocolate blobs spread around, quite sweet though There was a line going out the door but only had to wait around 15 min!

The Turkish delights were basically edible art with petals, pistachios, and vibrant colors. And the baklava? Sitting there like it knew it was about to win. Unfortunately... looks were doing all the heavy lifting. Spent $28 on six small pieces and walked out excited--only to be let down. The Turkish delight tasted overly artificial, almost perfumey in a bad way. The marshmallow rolls had a weird paste-like texture. Baklava was fine, but nothing special. Also, the packaging? A struggle to close and somehow managed to give me a legit paper cut. Love that for me. Great location, beautiful presentation--but the taste just doesn't justify the price. Pretty, but meh.
