Always appreciate Peet's and desperately wish they still had a location on the west side of town. Excellent coffee, decaf, pastries and sandwich selection. Customer service is unmatched. Large, clean dining room and tables outside. read more

I'm writing this with equal parts heartbreak and caffeine withdrawal. I've been a devoted Peet's customer since my freshman year in Berkeley--back when discovering your deep, dark roast felt like being let in on a delicious secret. From that very first cup, I was hooked. Bold, rich, unapologetically intense--everything coffee should be. Frankly, Starbucks could NEVER compete, and I wore that opinion like a badge of honor for nearly 40 years. Over those decades, Peet's wasn't just my coffee--it was part of my routine, my work life in San Francisco, and even my social fabric. I brought Peet's into corporate meetings, events, and countless mornings that required both caffeine and hope. The consistency was unmatched, and the people--your people--were just as special. Longtime staff who remembered names, orders, and somehow made a coffee chain feel like a neighborhood staple. Then life took me north to the Pacific Northwest--specifically Oregon and Washington--where, let's be honest, "medium roast" reigns supreme (a phrase that still confuses me spiritually). Finding Peet's locations here felt like spotting an old friend in a crowd. And at first, it was! The quality, the AMAZING staff, the experience--it all held up. But lately... what happened? Somewhere along the line--perhaps around the time of the Keurig Dr Pepper acquisition--things changed. And not in a "new seasonal menu" kind of way. The coffee doesn't hit the same. The magic feels diluted. Even the staff, once the soul of the brand, seem less engaged--like they, too, are wondering where the old Peet's went. I feel for my friends!!! It pains me to say this, but the experience now feels... ordinary. And Peet's was never supposed to be ordinary. I can't help but imagine Alfred Peet looking down and thinking, "This is not what I had in mind." So here I am, a customer of nearly four decades, asking--no, begging--you to remember what made Peet's special. The commitment to quality. The restraint in growth. The PRIDE in the product. The people. Because right now, I'm doing something I never thought I would: exploring other options. And while nothing quite replaces what Peet's used to be, some are getting dangerously close. read more

I stopped in for the very first time over the weekend because I wanted to try one of their special drinks. The Dubai Style Chocolate Matcha. The experience was just okay. The service wasn't great, staff didn't seem particularly friendly or welcoming. The drink itself was fine but nothing impressive, especially considering Peet's usual reputation. The drink was very lightly sweet, but I could barely taste the chocolate or the matcha flavor. The only thing I could really taste was the pistachio. Not a bad drink, but I was expecting more. It was spendy for how small it was and it's not something I'd order again. Not a terrible visit, but not one I'd go out of my way to repeat. read more

Terrible customer service by the female (brunette, late-30's) barista the morning of 1-10-26. She was rude and snide when I asked about my order. Terrible service, I will never come here again! read more

Stopped by here on a rainy day, made it just before closing to pick up a TGTG bag. Quick service, nice staff, and delicious pastries!

I tried out their new drink menu with the brown sugar coffee drink with jelly. They are pretty much the asian boba. They offer 3 new drinks but I don't care for matcha. Since Peet's is a coffee shop, I decided to try their coffee version. I believe the jelly costs like 75 cents extra. But it was worth it. read more

Thank god thank god thank god (100x''sl) Im sick of drinking starbucks. I DROVE 30 Minutes just to have a peets cappuccino. I drink peets ever single day rain or shine sick or not. Thank you peets for this location read more

I've only been to this Peet's twice since it is very inconveniently located for me, but the service both times was friendly and the coffee drink and pound I took home were wonderful. Now- let's get to the real thing. Where is the Peet's from Salmon Creek??? Why in the world would they remove a thriving coffee shop and leave our town with just one??? I HATE driving 25 minutes all the way over to this one. There are more traffic lights than anyone can count. What a waste of time and gas. C'mon, corporate... let's get you guys back to the northwest end of town and SOON! read more

Updated 11/1/23: Unfortunately this Peet's is not as good as it was for my first review. They used to be reliable for freshly roasted coffee beans, but lately the bean counter has consistently sold beans 6-8 weeks past the roasting date. Boo hiss! Also, they recently installed new coffee brewing machines that take forever. Seriously slow. Nobody wants to wait 10 minutes for a cup of coffee! These changes seem to have implemented at the corporate level. The local staff is still great, but they're getting stuck with some bad mojo from the head office. read more

Love their coffee. They have iced coffee a few expresso, which is a nice change from the other coffee places. I also use it it at home. I only go through the drive thru and coffee is always hot and my cold drinks are cold, read more

This is our third time going here recently and every time its been great! The coffee is rich and delicious, this time I tried a coconut oat milk latte and it was one of the best lattes I've ever had! Their iced and hot teas are also amazing, I recommend the berry hibiscus lemonade tea. read more

Peet's Coffee - Amazing coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

My sister and I were on vacation in Vancouver. It was both our first time here. My sister who lives in Vancouver took us here. We all love coffee. Unfortunately I have HBP and I can't seem to find a great decaffeinated coffee that don't taste watered down. Low and behold, I ordered caramel macchiato, and it was the BEST decaffeinated coffee ever!!!! I give them 10 stars I came back to Hawaii and they don't have Peets coffee here. So now I am going to purchase it online. I can't say enough how awesome their coffee is. It's the BEST!!! read more

Loved this place when I came to visit on the holidays. Coffee is robust and I would highly recommend this over Starbucks. Friendly people and this will be my go to spot when I'm back in town. read more

Nice store, nice people but the bathrooms are old, dirty and disgusting they seriously need a remodel.

Excellent coffee, great laughs and amazing service. We get treated so nicely every time we stop in and it's super appreciated!

Update: 1/27/19 Oh my goodness, can't even buy coffee beans here! Sent husband in to pick up a lb. of whole bean coffee for the espresso machine that was advertised on Peet's.com and they up-charged it to $25/lb. I'm DONE! Not even going for beans anymore. Just terrible! No effort ever to make things right either. Smh. Update II: Just have it a try again as I heard they now offer breakfast. There are 3 hot sandwiches - I had the arugula egg & cheese sandwich. The bread is different than the average offerings elsewhere and I liked that they had one with greens. That said I didn't think the sandwich was particularly tasty, and the bread was oddly chewy. The drink I ordered came with either zero coffee or they used cream, which I didn't order. The drink was a triple shot Havanna cappuccino and was almost white. No coffee taste although my husband said he saw them pour the shots in. I see there's at least a glass partition between customers and food, but if your barista is sick you may be joining her shortly if you order a pastry. Still not impre UPDATE: Not sure why the last review didn't publish before -- but I've included it below. Now not only are we having quality issues but they have taken out all of the comfortable seating they had and put in bar seating and what appears to be a board room table. The pastries have been reduced from a selection of quality items in a glass case to what I have pictured here. All out in the open to dry out and for anyone to cough/sneeze on. NO THANK YOU! Between the hit or miss customer service and all of this, I'm done coming here. What a shame. MY EARIER REVIEW (that si: This is my regular coffee shop. Usually my favorite in our area, as you can see my earlier review. Recently I've noticed they run out of baked goods frequently and the pours are less precision, leaving espresso in the stainless cups that doesn't make it into the drink. (The pour is supposed to be the Peet's hallmark of quality.) I was talking to an employee last week who said that they're under new management. Also at that time, I noticed they were out of the longer straws for use with the taller cups (which is what I get. -- I compensated by using a flat lid instead of the dome lid on my iced drink.) This morning I noticed they were again out of my favorite pastry (almond croissant) and long straws. I asked about straws and the guy on cleaning duty just mumbled something unintelligible and refused to look at me. I said no prob, I'll just use a flat lid. Nope! Out of those too!! We sat down and I just sipped my drink without a lid. This is annoying when you have an iced cappuccino by the way. We sat for a while and talked, and then I noticed another girl refill the long straws!!!! OMG. How NOT to run a business! If these new employees stay, I won't be coming in. read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I love Peet's, partially because I know it'll be good every time and it tastes like coffee, which is not always the case everywhere! Haven't had any bad experiences with staff at all. Each location is pretty clean whenever I go. I rarely get food but when I've had it it's been fine! No complaints. One of my favorite larger coffee chains. read more

As if I needed another reason to love Peet's. They have the best coffee. I love coffee prepared all different ways, theirs is super tasty even with nothing added. This location in particular has some pretty friendly people and heart shaped coffee. read more

Peet's Coffee - Almond Milk Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Delicious coffee that you can actually taste full flavor compared to water coffee at Starbucks. It's ironic because I've seen a Starbucks worker ordering coffee here. What gave it away? Was the Starbucks hat lol. This should tell you everything. They also have tasty pastries to go with that coffee. Great atmosphere. Customer service is always warm welcoming. read more

Best Tasting Coffee in town along with friendly customer service with that small town charm. Only negative is there are not enough locations. read more

This is located right by my previous employer and appreciated a nice cup of coffee and a place to take a quick break from work. Their location was a regular spot for my coworkers and I whom visited frequently because their inside seating area was spacious to have quick meetings but that is no longer doable because of COVID. My rating is based on my first experience coming back during the pandemic. I did a mobile order which I commonly do due to times we are living in now. I was greeted by a barista who was already packing up the pastries inside their display since it was obvious they were closing shop soon - I believe they were closing at 5:30. I told her I was a little early as I requested a time to pick up my drink later and placed an order via mobile app... the first thing she said to me was, "You must have ordered it in the wrong location because our mobile app doesn't accept mobile orders after 3:30". Ummmm, OK?! I showed her the app and where I ordered it, the location was correct and she let me know they would just make it anyway regardless... but I kept on telling her I was able to place the order after the fact. I think five minutes into our conversation, I heard a ding on their computer screen where they see orders and yep, the other barista mentioned they received my order. Anyhoot, interesting encounter. I've had many experiences at this place where baristas were extremely friendly and kind so just perplexed. Also, if you download the Peet's app on your phone, you do receive a free drink or a food item on your birthday. read more

I love the mobile order option. I've only tried it at this location but it's always been accurate and I really appreciate the efficiency, especially on a busy day. My favorite drink is an iced oat milk latte with coconut syrup! read more

Horrible service! First the cashier was rude-hasn't anyone taught her to watch your tone when talking to people. I was asking what was in a drink and she had an attitude with me...I ask because I don't know. Then I asked for an extra hot oatmeal latte and it was warm...extra hot means something you can't drink on the first sip. I asked for a matcha chai latte-- and just got a chai and it tasted watered down. The woman who made the drink looked at me like I was stupid and didn't know what I ordered. So went next door and got my drink there and had 5 Star service and an amazing drink....also I never got my money back for a horrible drink...and I spent $15.00 thank god, I barely tipped these people. read more

Peets coffee is great and an upgrade from Starbucks. The service at the places we go has been stellar. I'm drinking a cup at home right now. Taste the difference read more

Do not go in here when they are closing for the day. They are not very friendly. This was not the first time this happened at closing. They made a mistake on my wife's coffee and it seemed to be a big in inconvenience. Most Peet's are really friendly. To follow up on my review, I was contacted by Peet's. They said they were looking into it and addressing the problem. I hope they correct this problem because I do like Peet's as opposed to other coffee options. read more

It was my first time going to Peet's Coffee and I was kind of skeptical because some of my friends had mixed reviews about it. It sometimes is good depending on what you get! I saw tea fogs and it reminded me of this place I got one at PDX airport before I left on vacation. But tonight I desperately needed iced coffee because #1. Having a huge headache, and #2. I felt adventurous and wanted to try something new. I actually was on my way to Jamba Juice but couldn't resist a new place and realized oops! Not really in the mood for a smoothie. I am SO glad that I stepped in here! And specifically this location, I wanted something sweet and iced, Jared offered that I try a white chocolate mocha. He asked me all the necessary questions and was very attentive to my wants! On top of that, he was very respectful, nice and he made fun jokes that made my first experience here at Peet's awesome. This specific location I will definitely be visiting again soon. read more

Good coffee and a nice alternative to Starbucks. I'm usually a Starbucks fan but mostly because it's the best coffee available where I am at the time. I'm always looking for great little mom and pop coffee shops though! If they have milk alternatives I'm down to try it! Peet's did and it was recommended by a friend. It didn't disappoint. read more

I am bummed cause I came here and wanted a unsweetened almond matcha iced and I am pretty sure she sweetened it and it didn't taste the same

Really? We're having an actual conversation even though the transaction is over and there's a small line behind me? That's cool! (Not to mention a new one.) The staff here is pretty neat. They're friendly, talkative, and prompt at getting your piping hot drink out. There's no "mellow top 40" playing, just the sound of the espresso machines and lighthearted laughs erupting from behind the counter. This is a grab and go kind of Peet's. There's a few tables inside and out, but one generally gets the sense that you get your beverage and head out on your way. The walls and counters are filled with the usual Peet's teas and accessories, always tempting me to make the switch to a really slick looking French press for my morning coffee. Their ever changing daily roast is good, but they make a darn good sugar free - non fat vanilla latte. It tastes like the real sugary original. Easily a solid chain shop to satisfy anyone's unhealthy caffeine addiction. read more

Peet's is a pretty good alternative to Starbucks. This basically only applies to the coffee flavor and tea choices though. The service seems pretty close to those of other places (meaning the younger almost high school crew). There is also the typical coffee house decor and feel. This Peet's has a good location. You can stop in here on your way to pretty much anywhere. I highly recommend the caramel latte. I love that they use real caramel! read more

In general, I'm a fan of Peet's over Starbucks any day (I used to work as a barista @ Starbucks) but here's my two cents on a specific experience. I was here this morning in a daze. I ordered the seasonal Cinnamon Hazelnut latte (pretty tasty but I definitely would lessen the pumps of sweetener, unless you like really sweet drinks). I told Jared (barista @ the bar) that despite my many customizations, I still forgot to mention that I wanted it extra hot. Then it dawned on me that I forgot to order it decaf as well (I can't handle espresso shots). I apologize and he graciously remakes my drink with a smile on his face and he even comments that he's glad we could spend this time together. Jared reassures me that I'm not a pain in the a$$ (but let's be real, I totally am.) The girls at the register were nice as well, I'm really oblivious and indecisive but they didn't seem to mind. Overall, they have solid customer service which I typically expect at any Peet's. It's not the fact that they remade my drink (most decent coffee joints are willing to do this for you), it's the fact that they did it with smile and a genuinely good attitude. read more

Solid 4 stars. Good coffee, good people & good prices. I love the taste of the coffee - not burnt like most places. Also love that they use select farmers for generations and roast beans in small batches for the best quality. The people are always so extremely nice, and they are quick as well. Good job guys! read more

I have tried multiple coffee shops near me, chain establishments and local favorites. Peets is hands down the best place around. I have had their coffee and teas both are great choices. They seem to keep a steady flow of people coming through and are able to keep up with the demand. They don't have a drive thur but walking in is a minor compromise for delicious coffees and teas. I highly recommend them. read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Yelp frequently has check in offers for Peet's making the drinks a decent value. The staff is friendly, drinks are made with care and the store is modern and clean. This is a nice break from the typical Starbucks cookie cutter store type. read more

How I love thee, Peet's coffee! Your well-prepared lattes are always a welcome treat compared to the terrible coffee served at other Vancouver venues. The staff is always friendly. The lattes are ALWAYS the perfect temperature, perfectly drawn shots, and topped with lovely foam. Thanks Peet's, for your consistently fabulous coffee! This former big-city girl probably could not survive Vancouver without you! Thank goodness you are 3 minutes from my house. read more

The coffee drinks here are consistent. That is Peet's strength. They have the same friendly baristas you find elsewhere, the same small tables with wood chairs, and the same carbon copy decor. However, the coffee is good and above all, consistent. I would not recommend trying to meet more than a couple of friends here due to limited seating. The baked goods are average. They have regular specials and occasional free sips of drinks to try. Their chai tea is also consistently good. They work with fair trade organizations and families for single origin coffees. Their online selection is always better than in-store however for whole bean coffee. Their ground coffee is available at FM on McGillivray. read more

Typical Peets location. Good coffee. Comfortable surroundings. No complaints. Will use again.
