But it all depends on the barista's skill and the store. The original Vine St store is pretty consistent in quality with some outdoor sidewalk seating...local hangout for decades for some who are now gray haired...a nice location, but parking can be challenging. Walk there if you can.
Several good...

Private equity forms keep churning, stopping off value, flipping once premium places like this. The clerk's fly through the revolving door and know less and less.... Are replaceable widgets in toxic capitalist's were dreams. Sad. My Peet would be unhappy to know what happened to his impeccabley inte...

Still the best in America. Excellent traditional cappuccino! Alfred Peet's original store on Vine and Walnut, appropriate that it is katty-korner from the Berkeley Friends (Quaker) Meeting house, as coffee is so often the beverage over which friendships are grown! #kahvehkahveh #coffee #espresso #c...

Peets is the best! I was so happy to walk into the original Peets. They are very original and authentic, and by that I mean that they do not sell hot food only pastries for any of those who are wondering. During my visit today the cashier was very kind and informative. I felt very welcomed.

A slice of Berkeley's history you sit outside and you talk and if somebody doesn't like what you said they turn around and attack you with a level of vitriol that belies the low amount of sophistication of regulars. As a new comer you may find it close to impossible to make new frienda

I'm normally not a fan of Peet's because their coffee is too dark and bitter for my liking, but this store is great. The employees are all friendly and helpful, the drinks are consistent and good, and the store itself is well-decorated and welcoming.

Love Peet's coffee. The original location has a little museum in the back which is wonderful and charming. A coffee lover's must go-to destination for a brief history of coffee, old world makers and the story of Mr. Peet himself. I love seeing the collection of the different company logos and coffe...

This is where it all started. Different vibe now within and without - I can only imagine the craziness that would ensue if they ever tried filling the neighborhood with the wonderful aroma of roasting beans again as they did back in the day, and who serves brew in ceramic cups anymore? However, staf...

Had the orange chocolate mocha--in a land of syrupy drinks, this stands apart. To die for! Plus, this is the original Peet's and it has a special charm that's lacking elsewhere. This Peet's still feels like a neighborhood coffee shop. They have gorgeous stoneware and mugs, too.
