Peet’s Coffee & Tea

This is one of those spots where if you come here a few times they say hi to you by name, and start getting your drink ready when they see you in the doorway.
Any kind of complaint, and they remake without a problem, and are usually quick to offer a free drink card for your next one. Great spot, nice folks.

I’m so bummed their closing this location. It’s one of the few spots on Howe I feel is worth stopping at. The baristas are always super nice, the drinks are great, and I love the atmosphere. It makes me sad to see good things come to an end. :(

I know my day starts out right when I can sneak away from the office for a trip here! When I walk in, the courteous staff instantly recognized me and has my small medium roast coffee ready without me even asking! It’s like waking into Cheers where everybody knows your name!
The staff is too notch. Tony is on top of his game and brings awesome energy to the shop. Desiree is as sweet as can be, and the rest of the staff make this place a nice little oasis to come to during a busy day.

Love this peets coffee! The staff is friendly and it’s not crowded! The staff does an exceptional job to make sure u feel welcome. A kid knock over some cups and the first response from a staff member is if the kid was ok :). I like how the barista offered to make me a fresh cup of coffee. I shall be back. :)

Amazing store. Friendly baristas. Quiet. Soft, classical music in background. CLEAN. Relaxing atmosphere. Large windows with lots of light streaming in. Comfy chairs. Plenty of places to plug in. Real coffee; not for the faint of heart.

I love Peet’s coffees and teas and I love this store specifically! I work nearby and stop by regularly for some fresh brewed coffee or tea. Every time I come in I’m greeted by an incredibly friendly and knowledgable staff, except for one employee (sorry if you get stuck with her)! You can ask them any question about their products and they are able to educate you and relate it back to your likes and dislikes. Their products are definitely superior in quality and flavor than Starbucks and this Peet’s team definitely is an asset to their company. Cheers!

Announcement They now carry ALMOND MILK!!! I have suggested for so long and now they finally have it at all their locations! Always a fan if Peet’s I seem to forget about this location being here. So today I decided to swing by here on the way home for my Chai. Love the fact this location has check in offer as well for $ 1 off all maple or pumpkin drinks. They have a patio area shared with Panda and a small inside seating area as well with comfy bench seating. As always I was greeted promptly and served my drink very fast. I love the fact they have the fresh nutmeg grinder at all the Peet’s too! It’s much better than the powdered stuff. Come show this place some love it’s much better than Starbucks for your tea choices. Not a syrup mix for the chai teas and they have so many tea choices and the staff is knowledgable and helpful so you get what you want. I’m glad I stopped by and will remember this location instead of driving over to Fair Oaks blvd. location.

A mere block from Starbucks, worlds away in terms of quality. Peet’s is like your groovy intellectual aunt & uncle’s library space — nice tables, dark woods and a relaxed, enjoyable vibe. The employees are friendly and witty. My only complaint is that they just serve pastries and little snacks — it’s not a coffee & sandwich shop. Its just coffee & pastries & nuts, etc. Fortunately, there are food places next door. There’s also a large outdoor patio space.

Typical Peets. Not really happy that my doppio espresso (2 shots) was a whole dollar more than at Starbucks=/

Everything I have tried here has tasted excellent and I’ve tried pretty much everything they have to offer. I must say the iced coffee is my absolute favorite, and the staff are always extremely friendly and on point at making coffee. Also a great place to sit and relax with your coffee at the same time.

Was staying across the street at the quality inn so I got to check out this location multiple times.
I’m not a Peets coffee guy and for the life of me can’t remember if I’ve ever actually been in one before.
The place is super clean & for lack of a better term ‘upscale’. Kinda like a real super nice Starbucks. We were in on the weekend/​Monday morning and it was never too busy. Every time there were seats available and the couches, etc. looked pretty comfy. I could see the parking lot getting busy on prime time but it wasn’t. There is also some street parking on two sides of the store.
The staff was super friendly, we managed to translate from Starbucks speak to Peets speak without issue.
Got our beverages without issue, tasted good.
Can recommend this place (they also have a Habit burger place in the same shopping center :-))

Peet’s Coffee for the win. Go home, Starbucks.
This is by far my favorite Peet’s Coffee location. The staff is always so welcoming and genuinely kind and polite.

The staff here is always so genuine and knowledgeable. phenomenal customer service at this location!

Love the iced coffee and It’s close to my house

I actually hear a lot of complaints about this place via my friends and co-​workers. I only have one, just one complaint about this particular location: There are never enough seats! It seems to be the luck of the draw, whenever I have intentions of working on my thesis, there are no seats and I leave. But when I’m just grabbing a quick coffee to go, there are a plethora of seats available! Why oh why must the coffee gods say no?!
Aside from that little rant, the coffee is delicious. From hot drinks to blended, everything has come out pretty darn tasty! And– what nice people work here! They always have a smile on their face. A woman like me needs that, because I work too darn hard!

What A way to start the afternoon with some Peet’s Coffee… I always buy the Dark Chocolate/​Caramel Freddos which are blended and very delicious… I’ve been too many Peet’s Coffee Houses in the Greater Sacramento Area including the one located at Thundervalley Casino… I love going to these Coffee Places with friends or on the go…
Music is played and it usually is kinda jazzy and mellowed out pop music… to set the atmospheric tone… Like most places… there is free Wi-Fi…The cakes and breads are very delicious too… they even have big rounded cookies like chocolate chip… one of my favorite cookies…
But often times you would have to beat the traffic to get a spot or table at a Peet’s Coffee… that is how popular these Coffee House’s are… Most of the time we either have to wait for a table of go outside on a sunny day and chat…

Yum… good hot chocolate and very nice staff ;)

I love Peet’s Coffee. No matter which one I go to, the coffee is de-​li-​cious!
This location on Howe Ave is a great place to chill out and read the paper, study, or just catch up with an old friend. There is free Wi-​Fi, and most of the baristas I have encountered are friendly. It’s very low key with soothing music playing. There is lots of tables, chairs, and comfy booth benches. Outside, there’s a courtyard with plenty of seating shared with Panda Express and a couple other businesses.
Want a snack with that dreamy cup? Try the banana bread, lemon scone, or pumpkin cream cheese loaf. Oh and florentine cookies are just about as sinful as you can get. When you’re feeling like being bad, snatch one of these up.

Review applies to all Peet’s (not just this location)
Food/​Drink: If you like a strong coffee flavor… This is your spot!
Great tea selection. Not fond of the pastry selection here. They need more variety.
The Staff: They are not ‘cracked out’ like staff at other coffee shops. Cool calm and collected has to be the #1 requirement in their employee handbook. LOL!
Atmosphere: Peet’s has a mellow atmosphere. Classical or Jazz music plays lightly in the background.
Crowd: Mature/​sophisticated

I was visiting my friend & her new baby in Sacramento.
stopped by here to kill a little time b4 my 9:50 flight in SFO.
Wonderful nonfat chai latte — chai is steeped earlier w real tea leaves (most places is just a base mix) & had petite lemon poppy seed scones (so good i had to get a few more) & sea salt caramel.
everything was perfect…
