I love being able to use the Peets mobile app to order coffee and brave the crazy parking lot to pick it up. The coffee is always hot and ready. Thanks Peets! read more

This Peet's location was my first introduction to Peet's Coffee by my ex-gf oh so many years ago. I've always liked them as it's spacious and has a lot of tables & chairs to lounge around and enjoy your coffee and/bakery items. The service was friendly and welcoming. Two unisex restrooms. I got an Iced Vanilla Latte. read more

Slow. Inefficient. Rude. No care in making drinks properly. Horrible and lazy. Which is too bad because the inside is very nice. Ordered an iced coffee with a splash of cream and got a large iced CREAM! This place is horrible. It's almost like they don't care. read more

Peet's Coffee - This is a "splash" of cream. Tired of wasting money at this place. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Sometimes you forget about the oldy-but-goody places we have in the East Bay that have managed to remain consistently fantastic over the decades. And the Peet's Lakeshore location is one of those gems. I used to frequent this Lake Merritt adjacent spot quite a bit back in the day, but like so many of us city dwellers do, we tend to live our lives within a few blocks of home. And to be sure, finding easy parking in Lakeshore is not always straight forward. But a recent trip out reminded me what I was missing. Lakeshore Peet's is one of the larger, original Peet's shops. They have a big, open, and bright space with plenty of seating. Lots of plugs for those needing a charge. Service is fast and friendly, which is important on weekend when the shop gets slammed for morning service. The retail side has plenty of beans and coffee-making supplies like filters, pots, and mugs. Perhaps best of all, Peet's Lakeshore is OPEN LATE till 8pm. Remember when coffee shops stayed open late?!? The freshly brewed java in store rotates regularly and almost always has a dark and medium roast available. And the espresso based drinks are prepared well. If you need some nibbles with your caffeine, the bakery case has the usual suspects throughout the day. (But let's be honest, the well-informed will walk their Peet' coffee directly across the street to Arizmendi Bakery or a few doors up-street to Colonial Donuts for the best accompaniments.) And with coffee and munchies secured, you are well-equipped for a Lakeshore stroll, and as well you should as this is a vibrant neighborhood full of shops, restaurants, and outstanding people watching. Thanks, Peet's Lakeshore, for reminding me how good you are! read more

Tables are clean, staff is welcoming, they even give out free samples sometimes, super diverse crowd. Only thing is one barista likes to shout names which is bothersome. We're here to relax, unwind, work, meet a friend, we don't need you shouting. read more

The Woke Peet's! Always interesting people here. And firefighters! Tend to be well-stocked with coffee and self-serve table (milk, sugar) usually stocked and clean read more

The was my first time ever trying Peet's coffee and I can't believe how late I am lol My little sister works at the San Leandro location and she knows all the good drinks! Yesterday I had the matcha frappe with honey and cinnamon and it was BOMBBBBBB!!!! Once I like a drink, I stick to it. That is my new and only favorite. This location was vibe too. Real coffee shop, music playing, people handling business on their phones and laptop lol makes me want to go there and just kick my feet up with some coffee. The baristas were really nice and helpful too!! Thank youuuuu read more

I've been to this location a few times and it was cold so I thought I'd hope in for a quick cup. There was a line but that's fine. I got up to the register and ordered a hazelnut latte with decaf espresso and oat milk. Employee was new-and he was the only one working the registers for some reason. Someone did come over to help but I was charged for a shot. At this point, I'm over it-I just want some coffee. The shot was mid. I've had some trouble at this location a few times. Employees are nice but the wait for drinks is usually long. There is plenty of places to sit and it seems to be a neighborhood staple. read more

I love Peet's but you need to open up that second machine. The waits are unbelievably long

I had a deal to use from the Peet's app, so I ordered an iced peppermint mocha, less ice, light chocolate syrup and light peppermint syrup, regular whipped cream, 2 shots, 2% milk, regular foam. The drink was ready according to the prediction time and it tasted pretty decent, even with my modifications it was still quite sweet but you can still taste a little bit of the coffee beneath. This location seemed to be pretty busy, I was also surprised how much bigger it was on the inside since it looks small on the outside. read more

Peet's Coffee - Iced peppermint mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

This is probably my favorite Peet's location to do work, journal, and read in. It's spacious with lots of outlets and seating. There's always a good crowd that frequents, expect a longer line especially on Saturdays during the farmers market. Good and reliable place to stop in for a drink when you're running errands. As for drinks, my favorites are the oat chai latte, iced hibiscus tea, and hot mint tea. Cons: Parking is a a bit congested since it's a central location and shares a parking lot with Trader Joes and Walgreens. The bathrooms is not always maintained. I've also had 1 bad experience with a manager being terribly rude. I try to be understanding that it's a busier location, but scolding an employee and then being rude to customers under pressure was not okay. read more

This is becoming my favorite Peet's in the East Bay! It's huge inside, with lots of seating, available outlets, and free Wi-fi. One of the best coffeeshops to get some work or studying done. There's also a big window that faces the street for great natural light and casual people-watching when you get bored. Cons: There is only one bathroom with a code on it, and limited street parking or 1 hour lot parking. Also, if you sit at the big shared table, just know that you're inviting strangers to talk to you. I won't say much about the food and drink, because it's a Peet's and if you've tried it at one, you've basically tried it at them all. read more

Try the Havana Cappuccino with an extra shot of espresso and a bacon sausage cheddar crispy!! So worth it , the ambience is better in the early mornings around six. However, this one girl has some pain in her neck and she says she slept on it wrong. But other than that the other staff was great ! read more

This location is managed poorly. Not long after announcing that they were closing and people were clearing out of the shop my female companion needed to use the woman's restroom before we left. She was promptly told that she could not use the facilities. We were just paying customers moments ago, and became an inconvenient bother and were directed to go across the street to Chipotle and use their facilities when we spent our money with Peet's, and disrespected by the manager and staff cleaning up and in a hurry to end their shift! Customer service in this place is horrendous and I don't recommend anyone come to this place ever since a simple request to use their facilities by a who simply wanted to empty her bladder of the wretched coffee consumed at this establishment. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS STORE! read more

Welcome to a Lakeshore neighborhood staple! I love this location. Peet's is a part of chain which to me means everything taste the same no matter what location you go to. But what sets this location apart is the customer service associates and the community it serves. The staff here always greet you when you come in and leave. They are nice and also patient. Sometimes I stray from my usual cold brew and try something new and they are great at making suggestions. The inside of the store is usually clean and the tunes are usually stellar! I buy Peet's coffee to make at home - but love to treat myself to a trip to this location. Thanks staff for always making my experience here delightful! Treat yourself and enjoy a pleasant coffee shop experience! read more

Really good coffee in a very large and beautiful building with great customer service and a beautifully diverse customer base.

Peet's offers a fully vegan breakfast sandwich so I stopped by to try it while visiting Oakland. The "Everything plant-based sandwich" ($6) is oddly satisfying and flavorful. It's the type of mass-market junk food that I wish Starbucks would finally launch in fully vegan form. I wouldn't go out of my way for this sandwich, as it's essentially a bunch of frozen foods (Just Egg, Beyond patty, Violife cheese, unknown bagel) reheated and served ready-to-go. But it does represent a type of convenience and reliability that was unknown to vegans before, say, 2018 or so. It's not a leap-forward in terms of creativity, but I enjoy the ease and cheapness of it. read more

Well, this is the thing about Peets. I went in, placed my order and was waiting for it. When it came, it didn't look nor taste like it did the previous times I had it. I ordered the black tie and the first time it was amazing. This one was good/okay. But the liquid poured into my cup looked like tea. This place is so much more spacious than it used to be. That is what I noticed. They also had plenty of space for people to sit and eat while working on a computer. They still had the same two entrances, but seeing the space let me know why my sister wanted to meet me there. The claustrophobic feeling from those past days is gone. read more

The manager Stella or stellar is rude I literallyyyy walked in asked for a water with a great attitude because I've been having a great day and this child that shouldn't be running the store wanted to stunt my shine by proceeding to look at me as if something was wrong with giving her a warmly hello honestly she's rude and has no customer service when I asked another employee for her name she wants to rudely interrupt by asking me what my name is as if she's going to do something to me in the streets shes so unprofessional fire her!!! read more

Great service! I ordered a TooGoodToGo order for $3.99 and received around $12 worth of food. Peet's is pretty consistent and this location of now exception. Recommended for a string cup of brew accompanied with a pastry with cute tables to sit at. read more

The workers at Peet's are all really nice people, except OMEGA (I believe that's her name, but for context she has blueish dyed hair) she has a very passive aggressive attitude and acts like she doesn't even want to be there. While working, a customer was waiting for his drink and she like lowkey yelled at him to get his drink like what?! lol anyway, she needs to get humbled. read more

You always love your first! Peet's has been a local mainstay . Started in Berkeley and continues to produce great coffee. French Roast! Forget about all the other madness- double shot mocha jumbocino with fruity syrup. Just coffee , no additives read more

Favorite Peet's when I'm in OAK and was pleased to see they had expanded and of course adapted smoothly to pandemic restrictions. Easy online order pickup through the back entrance or spaced out counter ordering through the front. Plenty of space to be distanced while waiting and baristas were friendly and thorough as usual. read more

I visited Peet's Coffee today to have my drink remade. I wasn't rude or upset; it was more of an inconvenience, but for the $8.10, it was worth the 2nd drive out of my day. The cashier was pleasant; however, the barista, a relatively young woman who presented as white with colored, frizzy curls in a clip, was insolent and standoffish when her colleague handed her my drink. She began questioning me, and initially, I thought she just wanted to ensure my order was perfect. So, I calmly requested that my drink be warm. To my surprise, she became agitated, pointing out that it was an option on the menu. Her reaction took me aback, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. I replied, "Yes, I know it's an option, but the drink was scorching hot." Instead of acknowledging my feedback, she decided to ignore my comment. She turned to the mobile order screen and began browsing through the list of drinks; all the while, my latte's milk was steaming. Then, she asked me, "Did you order it from this location?" I responded with a sense of perplexity but confidence, "No, I ordered it from the Oakland Hills location. Is there a problem?" She said, "No."She handed me my drink without making eye contact, almost as if I had been rude to her. Nevertheless, I smiled and said, "Thank you," and "Have a good day." She chose not to respond. Peet's, you need to improve not only your products but also the abysmal customer service I experienced today. Especially in a progressive place like Oakland, I expect far better than this subpar treatment. read more

Place is a peets of crap - The employees' service was poor. Music was loud and ratchet. Ambience is nice - open - great lighting

This is the first time I've gotten nitro here because I didn't know they had it!! I always go to Starbucks and get it. I was pretty disappointed to find that it's just a bunch of air and bubbles...not much coffee. Can't believe I paid for this... read more

This Peet's is a great location on Lakeshore. Huge, clean and full of great customer service so I really enjoyed my morning there. Even though there was a line, I wasn't bothered by it. So many different kinds of people coming in and out just for their cup of coffee or pastry or tea. It's amazing the diversity here, I loved it. I had a nice quick conversation with the barista who took my order (and loved my Beyoncé shirt cuz she has great taste). I'd come back just for the friendly faces! I got a mocha latte and after a short wait I got the most delicious cup. Well made, foamy and full. Probably my favorite cup of coffee from Peet's so far, like I've had it for the first time. Very satisfied with my visit even though it was a busy time. I'd come back again if I'm in the area. And there's so much to do over there too. Try not to overwhelm your wallet! I do enjoy going next door and grabbing a donut too just to go with the cup of joe. read more

What happened to the coffee service nowadays? I really used to love coming to this piece. Coffee to get French press. And truth, I'm disappointing that they no longer provide the service case I have to take my business elsewhere bring back the French press. read more

The cashier Sheldon was great unfortunately my drink was cold and two others complained about their coffees as well so there is something about the coffee that might have indicated it was stale or just sitting there for a long period of time and although they offered to brew French fresh batch they said it would take about 25 minutes and due to a conflicting appointment I couldn't wait that long and they didn't offer to give me a refund or give me an espresso drink in exchange. read more

Great place to come with friends or family, or to just pass by and have some food or a good coffee. Prices are also fairly reasonable.

It's bad enough when the line to order coffee moves at a snail's pace but when the people behind you get their drinks before you and you mention it to the barista and he says oh sorry, (the excuse was not something I could understand or even cared about) but then continues making 3 other drinks for people even further back in line instead of quickly switching gears to make mine, that pissed me off. I started to go back to the register to get my money back but as I was walking away he called my name. I took the drink because standing in line to get $5 back seemed unbearable. Mistakes happen but then the save should be much better than that! The coffee here is always good, but the service... read more
