My coworkers and i frequent this location a lot because it's close to work and we prefer Peet's coffee over starbucks. Unfortunately, We were very turned off at this location today when one of the barista's swiped the drink out of my coworker's hand because she (barista) assumed that my coworker was taking a drink that was not hers. If she felt the drink may have been for someone else then she could have spoken to my coworker asking whose order she was picking up instead of just taking it out of her hand. People should not be assuming that an individual cannot have a male's especially in this day and age when there are so many Trans Individuals living in out society. read more

Great coffee! Great service I would def recommend Coffee was made promptly and perfectly to my taste read more

I am always impressed with this location! Thank you for keeping everyone safe during COVID as well.

I purchased the matcha ice blended drink and chai ice blended drinks at this location.

Peet's Seal Beach has the friendliest baristas here. I usually stop by on my way to work and they're always so gracious. Some even know me by my usual order Just wanted to give them a shout out, keep up the great work! read more

I love Peet's coffee! My vanilla latte is always made right. It's delicious!!! Their cold brew is also good.

I get mochas everywhere I go. We go to all the local independent coffee roasters and brewers. And of all the places we go, Peet's is a step above. It's excellent coffee, and deeply chocolaty without overpowering the coffee. And it's not milky or excessively sweet. Perfect. thank you barista (young woman with long red hair) for a great cup of coffee. Update: Just came in to redeem my free birthday drink. Sean took care of us. I asked him about making a mocha for me that was a little less sweet. He was happy to oblige. My child was with me and asked for a drink. Sean asked me if he could make a little drink for my kid. It was perfect! Totally friendly, made a perfect drink exactly to my specifications and I even left with a happy little kid.thank you! read more

Need a good, strong cup of coffee? Check! Need a specialty espresso drink that costs $6+? Check! Need a cold brew to take the edge off your day and give you that caffeine boost in the afternoon? Check! Fast friendly service? Check! WiFi? Check! That's five checks (stars) from me. read more

Oh Peets. I love this Peets and have been going here for a long time. Such great quality and well made. All the shots are hand pulled which is why it tastes way better than Starbucks. They also hand steam the milk unlike other coffee shops too. Their baked goods are wonderful. I love almond croissants and theirs is the best! But there scones, breads and muffins are wonderful too. Not too sweet or processed. They taste fresh. I will say though that I miss their brand of tea. They discontinued it for mighty tea and it's just not very good. I miss it. The atmosphere of this location is very comfortable. Very much the coffee shop on the corner. Love it. I actually miss it when we're on vacation. read more

I have seen a gazillion Peet's in the Long Beach/Orange County area. And I don't recall ever venturing into one. So, since I was running a bit EARLY this morning, and a bit tired of my usual Starbucks song and dance (I hope my loyal baristas aren't reading this), I decided to switch it up and head over to the Peets down the way from my office. This is a really, really nice location, Its in a huge lot that also holds WineStyles (yay!), CPK, New York and Co, and a few other businesses. The store itself is HUUUUGE. And very dimly lit, so it has a nice ambiance. I would have loved to stay and sip on my latte while reading for a bit, but alas, I am part of the working class and needed to get my ass to work. I ordered a medium soy caramel latte, which came out to about 4.25... obviously they charge extra for soy milk.. sigh. And since I'm a sucker, I coughed it up, plus extra for tip. I wonder how much money I have given to various baristas over the years... its got to be in the thousands. But, I feel for them. I've been there, and its a pretty hectic position. My latte was delish. Next time I'll ask for a bit more caramel, since I'm a sweet freak. I restrained myself and passed up the delicious-looking muffins, pastries and such. The bearclaw was calling my name, I think.... but I held strong. Another thing Peet's has that even Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf can't touch is a very large selection of teas to take home. I was eyeing the Darjeeling extra fancy... perhaps I'll treat myself soon? ;-) read more

I really like this small Mom and Pop Coffee house is looks just like the competition but more friendly people . It's inviting and a good overall feel to it . It was a drizzly day and not so busy so we were served fast . The Coffee was very good and would recommend it to anyone. read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seal Beach, California

See all

Last Saturday, I went to Peet's to pick up my supply of Kenyan Beans. If you drink coffee by the acre like I do, you will love Peet's coffee. Peet's coffee is a hardcore coffee place. There is no BSing around it. They specialize in coffee from around the world and the roasting process. And only if you have graduated from Starbucks and wanted to learn more about coffee, Pete's is the place. For those who are just trying it out, I suggest that you don't drink their coffee without a bathroom nearby. Trust me. This advice will save you and your friends lots of embarrassing moments. Don't guzzle it down, it will ruin your day. It's super coffee taste; strong enough to raise the hair behind your neck. Some people use it for medicinal purposes or to keep it "regular", if your home brew doesn't do the trick anymore. a pound of coffee beans will run you from 10 bucks to 24 depends what suited you best. Service here is always great. But remember, these are just kids making your coffee. Don't ask them too many questions, if you insist of getting to know your beans. Ask for the pamphlet explaining about their coffee. They have a pastry selection; they look sooo tasty in the morning. At this location, there is a fountain seating area to enjoy your cup but there is nothing much going on @ this center since it located between Rosmoor and Seizure , I mean Leisure world . it's a nice quiet place to enjoy your cup and there is a restroom near by. read more

First time here, just need a coffee and something quick to eat to continue my day on the job. Customer service was friendly and had my items ready in no time. If I'm around in the area again I will most definitely stop by again. read more

Peet's Coffee - Dirty Chia latte with a bacon and cheddar breakfast sandwich. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seal Beach, California

So since I've moved to California I've overlooked this place the entire time. For some reason I classified it similar to Coffee Bean. To my dismay, it was nothing like Coffee Bean! Seems like an upscale Starbucks and the Caramel Macchiato is cheaper and 10x tastier than Starbucks. There was a pretty long line and made in and outta there in NO TIME! I like the location as well. There isn't a drive thru but still located in a cool little shopping area near my house. I'm craving a caramel macchiato right now! read more

A majority of people grab coffee from the gas station, Starbucks, and Coffee Bean. I am the minority that drives to Peet's just for a nice cup of black coffee. You may ask my why all the way over there for just black coffee? Well this isn't just any black coffee my dear yelpers, the smell pretty much got me the first time I decided to stop by. But when I gave it a taste it didn't feel like Starbucks or Coffee Bean or any other generic place, I felt like I could say that it was definitely a Peet's only kind of coffee. I've only lived for 21 years, but I'm sure I've drank enough coffee and talked to enough baristas and bartenders at those shops to know what I'm talking about. If I sound like a crazed caffeine freak I'm not, I just love coffee. Plain and simple. It's a little hard to find since it's stuck in a corner of the plaza, but once you step inside it feels like home. The music gives you a sense of relaxation since it's usually oldies and classical. What's better is that the bartenders are of course gentleman and the baristas are well for the most part very pretty. So I guess that gives you an idea of the interior. Now I know some may dislike coffee, but there are other choices too! Tea and even non caffeinated drinks are available. My favorite is still probably the Godiva Dark Chocolate Raspberry Frappe. Ever since I got it during the summer from a recommendation of the barista it's stood tall on my list against of course my usual black iced coffee. Sorry for so much to read, but I do hope you go and enjoy yourself there. read more

Pete's coffee never lets me down wherever I go! Consistent quality and taste each time. SB Peet's has been nothing but welcoming and helpful as I've now visited twice in two days. Staff helped me set up an account with Peet's and gave real opinion of their food items leading me to a maple scone. I will say I asked if the scone was dry and the staff stated yes more than some of the other scones, however if you warm it up it softens a bit and melts the maple which helps to bring out the flavor so I decided to try. Verdict! yes it was on the dry side but mixed w the melty maple icing, the warm latte the warm scone it was a party in my mouth and was worth the buy. If you want to sit and relax for a few grab a coffee/tea here and just enjoy the coming and going than this is the Peet's for you. read more

Peet's Coffee - Maple scone and SF Vanilla Almond milk latte. Yum! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seal Beach, California

It is easy to miss Peet's since it is in the corner of the shopping center next to the Ann Taylor and a Day Spa. They play relaxing classical music inside, it is never pretentious in here and everyone that works here is very nice. This Coffee shop is a true hidden gem in the Shops at Rossmor shopping center. I used to think I was not a fan of Peet's and from what I remember, I used to make fun of it. That is, until I tried the Madagascar Vanilla Fredo this Summer. If the weather is right, there is a great outdoor sitting area with very comfortable seats and a fire pit. If you like the Blended Iced Coffee drinks, this is as good as it gets. It is not super sweet. It too strong. As Goldie Locks would say, it's just right! If you are a fan of their blended iced drinks, make sure to get a card, after five Fredos you get one free! Every time I am in this part of town I look forward to coming in and grabbing a quick Fredo. read more

Pete's Coffee on Seal Beach Blvd is a perfect spot to meet others. Whether a business meeting or time with friends. Music is at a perfect level so you can actually hear one another. Delicious coffee, coffee drinks and tea too. I like the indoor and outdoor option of seating at this location. Wish they offered more gluten free and organic snack options. Otherwise great place. Plus friendly staff too. read more

Never burnt! Great, quality coffee! Sitting indoors can be a challenge in the morning, but not a big deal if you're not looking to sit in. read more

Peet's Coffee - Americano with steamed half-and-half - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seal Beach, California

My friend and I came here because we needed a place to study. There's wifi and AC, loved it! I've tried the Javiva Blended, vanilla flavor with no caffeine. It was refreshing! A little sweet for those who aren't a fan, but I liked it just right! My friend got the Mocha and peppermint frapp, I believed, and I thought it was tasty as well. She didn't like it as much. It is definitely different from Starbucks, but I thought they worth the bucks you spend. read more

Great coffee, great service, lousy singers on Friday nights! Sorry guy with the big hair, but you should stick to making coffee than singing for a living! We have to have our Coffee Fix just about every day before diving onto the freeway with the other 100 million so-cal-ers that call the 405 home, and with the fix we get with the coffee, I seem to be happier when that A-hole in the big 4X4 cuts me off, or the guy next to me is trying to catch up on the news with the newspaper on his steering wheel, or the Mother who is turned around in her seat behind the wheel trying to put the bottle in the baby's mouth to get it from crying. Yes, folks, the great freeways of SoCal is still alive and well, and with my LARGE Moca from Peets, I can always count on it getting me all the way to work in one piece and fewer dents from the aforementioned Highway mates we all share the road with. We have been going to this peets from the day it opened, and now, when we walk in, they know what we want and they are getting it ready for us be fore we even approach the cash register. They knew us by drink first, and took the time to learn our names as I notice they do for a lot of the regulars who brave the morning trek to work. Now, would I tell you to go to Peets? In a heat beat, because it gets it beating stronger to take on your day, and a day without Peets, is a day without sunshine.. Or is that Orange Juice? Move over OJ, Peets is moving in!" read more

Stopped in for a late night hot tea. Had a LungChing Dragonwell. It was pretty tasty. Baristas were all nice and helpful with my tea questions. read more

This place is so much better than Starbucks, in my opinion. By the way, I'm not so much of a coffee drinker, but this place is amazing! I ordered the Chocolate & Caramel Swirl Freddo and I'm really addicted to it! Prices aren't bad and the taste of the Freddo was flavorful (with a bit of ground coffee beans in the drink). Will always come back here again! read more

Excellent customer service by Theresa. She was friendly and informative. I don't go to Peet's often but maybe I'll start to more since she said their coffee has more caffeine than Starbucks. Too bad there aren't more Peet's locations. Their bags of coffee may be higher than competitors but this Peet's is big inside and has a spacious outdoor area inviting you to sit, relax and enjoy your coffee. Stop and smell the java! read more

I really like coming to this place to study or do some research/writing on my laptop. The store is large, with lots of seating. I particularly like the long padded bench seating along the length of the store. These seats are almost couch-like, with little tables along the front and (big for laptop users!) outlets along the wall for customers. The store also offers free WiFi. I always get the same drink, so I can't speak on that very much, but I have always enjoyed what I've ordered (nonfat chai latte). The baristas are friendly, and clearly make an effort to learn the names/faces of their regulars. My one complaint about this location, however, also has to do with the staff. Once, when I was there reading, I overheard two baristas loudly talking about how they found it frustrating when customers camped out at the store for long periods of time without ordering a refill on their drink, called them "cheapskates", etc. Not very welcoming that day. read more

I went here and got a large Vanilla Latte extra hot I think this is the best one I have ever had!Thank You Signe for what you did to make my day and also to Delaney who is also an awesome employee!Peets has two good Employees keep doing what you are doing and I will be a repeat customer! read more

I love this Peet's coffee location. staff is friendly and very relaxed atmosphere. I personally like Peet's Coffee much more than Starbucks

I love Peet's Coffee (Major Dickason's Blend rules) and was so happy to move near one. Their Soy Latte is the best non-dairy espresso drink I've had. I love the fact that I can get a Freddo w/ soy as well (since I love Ice Blended's but don't do dairy anymore). The coffee is always fresh and brewed right; kills Charbucks. Customer service has been mixed so far, but that's the same everywhere. The outdoor seating at this location is great, but since it's a corner store, the interior is very dark. Great for those using their laptops, but not the best for just sitting and reading. Free wifi, but limited to two hours (you have to ask for code, which is a bit annoying). Get a free drink by giving them your email address and get a discount every time you reload a gift card. Til I find a truly awesome mom & pop java joint that I can patronize regulary, Peets will be my go-to coffee spot. read more

This won't be a long review. It's a good coffee shop. Great drinks. I enjoy the signature drinks but I usually take an americano. If I must add something it's usually heavy cream which they do have here but you have to ask. But the americano has a nice crema and it is great espresso. My only grip is I don't get reception here and the WiFi is SLOOOWWWW. Other than that, it's great clean and people are friendly. The toaster pastries are good too, only food I've had tho. 5 stars! read more

I love Peet's coffee! Coffee is great employees are always kind and friendly. However the internet here is sooooo SLOW! And I'm not sure why they have sooo many gnats, gets in your coffee, your food, and your face! So annoying! read more

Decided to come to this Peet's since I was running errands in the same shopping center where it's located. Service is nice and fast. Almond milk latte I ordered was ok. Snickerdoodle cookie was big, a little stale, not the worst I've had. This wasn't Peet's fault, but was annoying: All table/chairs were taken. Not all by bodies though. Multiple people had their belongings sprawled over chairs and tables when other people could've sat there. I watched a customer ask a lady who was sitting in a space with 2 tables and 4 chairs if he could sit down and she replied by saying she was using the space. Yes, she was using the space. For all her shopping bags (she wasn't saving seats for anyone). Lovely. I took my stuff to go. read more

I'm giving you a 3 for two reasons. Line out the door for 30 mins consistent with 2 people working on a Saturday. Not good for the customer. And your Fog drinks are a waste of money no matter the reason you call it "like Fog from San Francisco". It's just a 1/2 cup of hibiscus tea overcharged. read more

The one by my work closed down and found this one near my brothers house. I love their selection of coffees and the barista accommodated me well. Had the Aged Sumatra on a Pot Press aka French Press. I am all about dark roasts and this one came out just perfect. I iked their grinder too.. pretty cool looking. read more

Horrible service, they are soooooo slow. There's never enough staff on duty. And how do you run out of half & half???

Honestly can't ask for more! It is a perfect spot for studying with some nice jazzy music and delicious coffee! There are plenty of parking which is a big plus. I would say their drinks are little pricey but they taste fabulous. Try their teas too! read more

Dear Howard Schultz~ Its hard to watch your baby "Starbucks" melt away under these difficult economic times. The days of long lines, $5 lattes, world domination, coffee bean monopolies are seemingly comming to an end. Don't worry, you still have a faithfully following. Unfortunately, places like Coffee Bean, Daily Grind, and Peet's are making in roads to your once impenetrable fortress. Its a valiant effort that you revived your role of CEO, but its probably too little too late. There's nothing wrong with sharing the market. Your empire was waaaayyy to busy with growth, store expansions, and earnings. So busy that you forgot the lil people who were forever dedicated to you and you started streamling things so your empire can dominate like darth vader once did. Anyhow, drop by Peet's someday, and you can see why you are losing business. Staff is extremely friendly and more efficient than your barristas. Especially those 'trainees' who are nice as heck but dont have a clue how to get you in and out. Lastly, your coffee is still one of the strongest brews.....unfortunately its not enough to sway me from Peet's. Good luck with your lawsuit for the Supersonics....and hopefully you and your empire can find your way out of the dark side. Cheers. PS: Peet's lost one star because they were out of coffee sleeves for over 2 weeks. Shame on the supplies manager for this oversight. read more

Sampled this cherry deliciousness of pastry when I walked in. Large non-fat latte with bran muffin turned into large non-fat latte with cherry crazy madness. Great customer service. Awesome center. read more

My new local Peet's....thank god they have one that is somewhat close by my house. This store rocks and the manager is fabulous....nice, friendly , always smiling and is great with the customers. If you are retired and need something to do in the early mornings- show up here because it always seems like a great group of elderlies (dressed up in their best colorfully, striped Members only jackets) collect here at the tables and share sweet and funny stories while drinking a good old cup of decaf.... Hey ....wait...did I say old? I meant you know.....Leisure World is right around the corner. It's a saying people!!! Espresso Forte- besides Illy Cafe- the best espresso in the world!! read more

The closest Peet's to me now since I relocated from the San Francisco Bay Area... But the Major Dickasons and now the regular nitro cold brew (already sweetened with no milk/cream) is my new favorite drink. The nitro cold brew is the perfect sweetness and super creamy and rich without any half and half or milk! It's amazing and something you have to try for yourself! read more
