I came in for a cup of coffee. Initially when walked in I looked at the board and quite frankly, I was looking the wrong way! - The girl asks, "Do you want to buy a pound of coffee." - So I just say, "No, sorry I don't know which board I am supposed to look at. Can I just have your coffee of the day? The lightest roast." - She says, "No, we don't have the light roast." - I say, "Can I have your medium roast?" - She says, "No, we don't have the medium roast." - I say, "Okay, can I have your dark roast then?" - She says, "We only serve dark roast here. Is the African blend okay?" Well, I figured she could've told me that in the beginning. :/ She was overall nice, and she asked if I wanted a pastry after that. That African roast ended up being really good! read more

I love coming to Peet's. This one is in the Crescent Plaza shopping center right off Monument Blvd. I like the coffee at Peet's because it is stronger. The customer service is always great. I only have two Peet's in my area that I can go to. I can either go to the Concord location or Pleasant Hill. Both have their pros and cons. The pro for this location is that if your headed to Pleasant Hill for any errands you can swing by this Peet's and continue about your day. The con is the parking, it is a little snug and you may need to park in the back lot. I had a pleasant experience at this location until I saw the barista throwing out mountain high plate fulls of sweets. Cookies, scones, pastries all went in the garbage around 7:30 PM. I then asked the Barista if those are given away to the homeless or can be sold at half the cost to give away to a food bank. Her answer was no but at least it goes in the compost. I am very disappointed at this practice. Perhaps this should not be done in front of customers. What made is worse was the fact that a customer before me just bought a pastry but now you are throwing everything out. We need a solution for this waste asap. read more

What to say about your friendly, neighborhood Peet's that's always there for you? I come here frequently for coffee beans, espresso drinks and once in a while something from the baked goods. As far as drinks go, an espresso shot over ice or some nice iced tea is great in the summer time. I am partial to the quinoa quiche which is light and flavorful. The brioche sandwich is also good- nice chewy bread with a pretty substantial amount of egg and bacon. The staff is friendly and efficient even when there is a big rush and they are short handed. I come to this Peet's often and I will keep coming back. read more

Not dog friendly even if you order to go! Used to be able to order a coffee to go but now not allowed to. Strange when I can go to Jack's or Crescent Bistro no problem. read more

We went in on a busy Sunday morning and our overall experience was good. The coffee was good. The service was good. The layout is not so good. The condiment counter is right where you walk in and where everyone waits to pick up their drinks, so it gets crowded. They also have a separate counter where you can order coffee beans without waiting for everyone to order their drinks so that is helpful. read more

Peet's Coffee - What you see when you walk in. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Unfriendly staff, waited in line for 5 minutes while the staff and teens in front of me had a convo. Dirty.

Great cup of coffee, average barista staff ( not happy to help, but not rude either). Store is very awkwardly arranged, jamming all through traffic up at the front doors. Great coffee! read more

My brother and I stopped at this Peets on our way to Sacramento from Oakland early one Saturday morning. Although the place was packed we were able to place our order and receive our order fast. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and service was quick and accurate. This is one of the better Peets I have been to in the Bay Area. We found easy parking and were able to hop right back on the highway to finish out our drive. read more

I am the type to usually make my own coffee so for me this was a treat to stop by here. I ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk and also had them grind some beans for me to take home. I'm too lazy to grind them at home so I appreciated them doing that for me. I also appreciated that the cashier didn't appear to mind- I kind of expected an eye roll since there was a line behind me but she just smiled! I had to wait about 15 minutes from the time I ordered my coffee, which seemed too long to me but staff was friendly and they were working their behinds off. As it's Christmas Eve I was just happy they were open! Coffee was delicious. read more

I dropped by the Peet's coffee on Creasant in Pleasant Hill today. I ordered four 4 shot expressos in 4 small cups. I was very disappointed in the amount of expresso I received in each cup. The total volumne of the expresso in the 4 cups would not even fill half a small cup of coffee. I paid $20 for a half a cup of expresso. I felt ripped off by the baristas there. I will not go back to this Peet's again. I usually go to the Peet's at the Veranda shopping complex where I get a fair deal when buying expressos there. My advice is to spend a little more travel time and avoid the Pleasant Hill Peet's and go on over to the one at the Veranda complex. Jerry H. read more

The place is my 2nd favorite Coffee shop in the area. (1st goes to Panama Red, Concord) The staff is always upbeat and they treat you well. My 2 Favorite Drinks are White Chocolate Mocha no Whip, and the Mocha Freddo. The place is always busy and parking kinds of stinks in the afternoon. But, there is a plenty of parking in back if you aren't in a rush. The Bathroom is always clean and I am always torn between to what to get from the display case. Great Coffee and Great Service makes it an easy 5 Star ratings. read more

4 stars! Awesome staff, good drinks, they've always gotten my order right. This location is in a busy spot so sometimes it takes awhile to get your drink, but in my lazy mornings, I don't mind the wait. Probably wouldn't go here before a commute though. Everything else is great read more

Today , July 15th, 2018 I ordered a drink with soy to prevent the lactose response I could have that will ruin my entire day and make me unpopular at home and anywhere I go as well. You can guess what happened. I'm at home at embarrassing myself at the theatre a few times . The cramping and bloating is torture, which means the drink was milk and not Soy. If your serving drinks and people ask for Soy it is not because they want to be part of the crowd adoring long orders for coffee. It's medically necessary. I gave 1 extra star for the friendly helpful cashier. read more

This is a nice piece in a convenient location in downtown Pleasant Hill. Right across from the Century movie theater, it's a great place to grab a quick snack and a cup of coffee. However, I'm not a fan of Peet's Coffee straight up. It's a little too strong for me. But the way to make it work is to order a small coffee in a large cup and have the mix it out with 50% hot water. With that you've got yourself an awesome cup of Starbucks coffee. read more

I work at a different Peets store and every time I come here, the staff is super friendly and accommodating and the store is CLEAN! The natural lighting is super nice. Big plus, that's the majority of the stars for this review. BUT they never get my drink right for some reason even though it's (pretty) simple, I think. I get an iced coffee with 4 pumps of caramel sauce. I never get 4 pumps in it (don't judge me for knowing the difference between 3p and 4p of caramel sauce, I sold my taste buds to the Peets devil! I swear I'm not usually a snob) even when I specify and 50% of the time I get creme caramel syrup instead of caramel sauce. The reason why I still come here though is because nobody ever has a problem remaking my drink or adding more caramel. The staff is knowledgable and overall polite. read more

I usually go to Starbucks. But today I tried Pete's. Maybe I should if tried a different Pete's. I don't know if you girls got the memo when you were hired, but you get a check to make coffee. Do you think you can manage to make it hot and delicious? You know like Starbucks. read more

This Peet's coffee is slow. Every time I've tried to come in and give it a 3rd 4th 5th chance they always seem to take forever to make my drink, they have many workers and since it's busy they should have two people helping make drinks. My sandwich came out first and by the time I got my drink the sandwich was cold and the drink didn't even taste the way I usually get it, the guy just upgraded my drink without asking me or asking to Comp my drink. I am paying $10 each time or more when I go in so my expectations are high. Treat and oak grove Peet's are way better when it comes to timely manner and curtesy. read more

This location is quiet. I have not had any bad experience with this location. Only one restroom to share with men and women.

"Why only 3 stars? I have to agree with a lot of people who reviewed this store. The pace is slower than normal, the staff seems to not always know what they are doing" Saturday 11am: Medium coffee in a large cup (I like to add milk and tend to spill in my car... ALWAYS). I get my coffee and I'm no snob, but I drive 2.5 miles when there's a starbucks across the street for THIS COFFEE. I'm a college student, I spend money sparingly, this is my SPLURGE so, I expect CONSISTENCY. Cashier tells me that it will take a minute to make a "fresh brew". Ok, I hear this OFTEN due to my late morning/ early afternoon schedule. No Problemo :D Get coffee. I have become accustomed to tasting before leaving :( Um, it tastes watery, I open the lid and see that it looks watery (ie a thin layer of watery light brown at the edge of the filled top). I TOLD YOU I'M A FEEN. I inquired as to "today's blend" they (2 young female cashiers) looked behind them and stated, "Holiday Blend" (with a smile). Drink prepare artist, "um, no it's actually Ethiopian this time." Great, that sounds like it would be nice and strong on the scale (I know my coffee)... 2 young cashiers (smile profusely and say nothing, literally just stare at me for upwards of 10 seconds). In a situation like this... 10 seconds is like a Matrix 3 minutes. Older woman (super cute and tiny and very matter-of-fact; no offense) comes out of nowhere and adds, "You know, you're probably right, the machine has been on and off lately, let me take care of it and make a fresh batch. I'll watch it." I am SO not wanting special attention when I get my cup-o-jolt, but I SO APPRECIATE the HONESTY but mostly A QUICK FIX. Seriously, we could brew our cup-o-joe at HOME, but sometimes, when we can, it's REALLY A SPLURGE to get it done PROPER by a PROFESSIONAL! END RESULT: My cup of Joe was remade and made with the appropriate level of hot thick caffeine packed good-ness that I have come to know and love; ummmmmm *I'M AWAKE!* read more

I go to this Peet's all the time. I really enjoyed Peet's Coffee; the beans, espresso, tea, and everything they have is excellent. I have not had a lot of the tea, but what I have had of the tea is good as well. The Baridi blend is a excellent light blend if you want beans. I will roast my own at times, but when I don't then Peet's is my go to for beans. I also enjoy the baked goods they have, and the Swiss Quiche is one of my favorites. One of the drawbacks of this place is they get extremely crowded at times because of their location, but the quality of their service and the efficiency they have usually makes the crowds go away fairly quickly. read more

I feel very compelled to leave this review right now. For the first time in a very very long time, I can actually say, I have not had a coffee that good in years. I ordered a pumpkin chai latte with an add shot and a young man named Miki made it for me. As he was finished with my drink, he attempted the pour and the pour came out perfect with a beautiful Rosetta on the top. I was so shocked that he put that much care into my coffee. Had a brief conversation with him about latte art and he told me that he just did this because he enjoyed it. The second test approaches, that is the taste test. Holy crap, it was so good! Bravo to Miki!! You have officially restored my faith in fast-paced baristas. Definitely worth my money read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Love Peet's; this location makes the most of the tiny sq feet but only 3/5 stars because of the BATHROOM.... barf! Only one bathroom at this location (which is fine), but it's ALWAYS dirty. Every single time I go here. I like to do my admin work away from home to be more productive and when I'm spending ample time at a coffee shop, it's inevitable I'll have to use the restroom. This bathroom is enough to make me second guess going here. It's always so gross and disgusting. The ambiance of the coffee shop doesn't match the 1 Star gas station vibe of the restroom. It's really bad y'all, just sayin. read more

The best coffee there is! Everyone is really friendly.. drinks are good. Go here for fresh beans and knowlegdable baristas! Highly recommend. 2018: Still great but I miss Amy, Michaela, Judy etc...they were awesome! Super nice. Coffee is always the best you can get that will never change. Staff is different now but I am sure they will be good too. read more

It's Christmas Eve and I need coffee for Christmas morning. I race to Peet's and arrive somewhere between 3:59 and 4:00pm early close. People are leaving but the staff won't let me in. I ask if they will just sell me a pound of beans. Nope, we're closing. Are you serious? I know they want to get home but the one minute it would take to serve the only customer wanting something? I own a retail store and would never turn a customer away at closing. Zero Christmas spirit at Peet's. read more

I maybe a bit biased but I enjoy Starbucks better. Peet's Coffee is good coffee but I enjoy Starbucks cold brew a lot. Plus, this Peet's Coffee didn't have comfortable chairs to lounge in for a long time. Their chairs were hard to sit in after awhile, especially if you are trying to do work. read more

I generally will go out of my way to patron a Peet's over a Starbucks, but this location is definitely going to be a last resort from now on. I walk in and there's no line, two people waiting for drinks, and four employees on the floor, one of them less than two feet away from me, cleaning. I stand at the counter to order...and stand there...and stand there. It took a good minute or two for one of the gentlemen at the bar to even acknowledge me. I then had to explain my order multiple times when trying to place it. The guy at the register seemed entirely baffled by "a medium dirty chai latte". If I'd ordered some crazy concoction, I could appreciate being so lost, but this is a listed item on their menu. I'm going to assume he's new, and learning the ropes. Hopefully with the next customer, he'll have this down, but I won't bother repeating my order here again. read more

Friendly cashier and our order came out quickly. Clean and spacious enough, as well. Came here on a Saturday evening and it was busy but orders were pumped out fast. read more

Peet's Coffee - Cold brew with vanilla and half and half + matcha green tea latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

First time to this particular Peets, and Sophia knows how to make my Havana LATTE!! Thank you!!

I've been back a couple of times since then, and it's been consistently better than my experience back in June. Two stars is kind of harsh for one experience, and my experiences since then have been OK.-- though the staff is still not as friendly as many other Peet's. One tip that I have when you face a long line (and I've never gone into this Peet's that there has not been a line): go buy a pound of beans. You don't have to stand in the drink line but can go stand in the bean line. Then they'll give you a cup of coffee on the house as well. read more

I am one cranky ass bitch without food or coffee-especially in the morning. There, I said it, and yes, I feel better. We picked up the daughter from a sleep-over this morning around 10am and had to wait while the kids finished making a video that will someday be posted on You Tube. The man and I had planned on picking her up and going to breakfast at Left Bank in PH. Well, long story short, we all arrive at Left Bank for breakfast at 10:30 and are told they don't open for "brunch" until 11am. I swear, I was about to have a meltdown like a toddler, and then the sky opened up and the birds started chirping when I walked around the corner and saw the Peet's sign. Holy Moly, I was so grateful, I almost cried. I opened the door to this Peet's and it was PACKED. Sardine like packed. No one on the street, no other place opened, but people and strollers everywhere. I did my best to be patient and knew life would be okay when I saw that Garuda was the espresso of the day. When it was my turn to order, I ordered my large non-fat extra-foamy latte making sure they knew I needed the full 3 shots and none of those short pull stunts sometimes baristas like to pull when the place is busy. I was assured I would get no such funny business and after waiting for what seemed like forever (it was only 6 minutes), I received a deliciously strong extra foamy latte. Kudos on that foam ladies! The rest of the place is small with limited seating, but I didn't care as there were benches available up the street for us to wait and me to sip before our "brunch". read more

I usually go to Todos Santos Plaza or Oak Grove but this store was more convenient this time. I ordered my latte, pretty straight forward beverage, and it came out more foamy like a cappuccino. I asked the girl if she could please remake it, and she was fairly curt about it. Maybe she was stressed, I tried to make my tone evident that I wasn't mad or vengeful like many customers I see. The manager came to apologize for the instance, which was nice of him. However, the girl handed me back my remade drink (now with zero foam whatsoever) and was very curt yet again. The coffee was fine, but the reason I go to places like Peet's is because of the service and attention to detail, something I was not impressed with here today. read more

I am really disappointed to be here at Peets on Crescent in Pleasant Hill, and they are so short staffed that I'm waiting 20 minutes for a pound of coffee beans!! read more

Came to the Brentwood location today ordered my regular soy cafe olay with foam and there black bottom cupcake a petite chocolate cupcake with cream cheese filling. Sevice was not as friendly as usual (we all have those days, cant be perfect all the time).Other than that the black bottom cupcake was delicious, moist, and not over bearlingly sweet. The only thing I could say is it could have used a little more cream cheese with in the center. read more

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Peet's Coffee. If there was one in Houston (I don't count the one in Hobby Airport) I would totally be there, but this location has some downsides to it, hence the 3-star review. I always try to stop by a Peet's coffee when I'm back in the Bay Area to get that extra jolt of caffeine my body craves. I just like the flavor and the strength of the coffee that Peet's brews and the simplicity of their menu. Now you may ask, why the 3-stars if it seems as if I have nothing but good things to say, well it comes down to location and service. The parking in this location, depending on when you go, can be a positive or a negative. I decided to head out on a Saturday afternoon during the early lunch crowd. The parking lots were filled with cars and a lot of people were outside enjoying the brisk, drizzly weather. It was a maze trying to find a spot because you had cars coming from different directions trying to go for the same spot that they saw when they first entered the lot and it's not even Christmas season. I know that if I decided to go during another time the situation would have been different. Now service, well, I think the service at any place should always be at the top no matter what time of day it is. I have worked retail and customer service before and I know that there are times when you just want to walk away from a customer or just not be as cheerful and what not, but then I remember that's my job. The lady who took our order never says hi, doesn't smile, and simply asked, "what do you want?" not "what would you like?" I don't know maybe it's just me, who knows. Don't worry though, I'll still come back for my caffeine fix. read more

Due to my inept sense of direction, that's with google maps and all, I somehow found myself lost in Lafayette. How do I find my way back? YELP Peets. Yelp says, Peets -pleasant Hill less than 2 miles away. Lead the way map! Oh wow..cute town. Walked into Peets with my depleted self. Who do I see?? Ana A. (barista formerly of Lakeshore Ave.). My spirit quickly lifted..after not seeing her for almost a year. She spots me right away, with a big smile, "Hey Michelle!" Large Soy latte?" Wow!!! That's great customer service and memory!! She definitely does not skip s beat. Just like old times. Nobody makes soy latte like Ana can!! Perfect! That's what I call authentic customer service. When you're lost you can count on Peets to make you feel like home. read more

Got a Javiva blended caramel with whip cream- was fresh, not overly too sweet, had a creamy and robust coffee flavor. Roughly costed $4 Inside was a bit small, but they had some outside benches. I know that the staffs are tired, but they could lighten up a bit, one smile would be fine read more

BoooooOooooooOOOOOOoooooo for being closed at 10pm on a Sat night. Even Vallejo has a coffee place open until 11 for those in need.

Even tho the streets were filled with people at 10:04pm!! "Ching $$ Ching" Opportunity in a slow economy....thank me later! read more
