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 quality boutique stores nearby and Gourmet Ghetto's sought after eateries .
The Shattuck downtown store is a different environment...and they always have an insufficient amount of chairs. There you have to have a code for the bathrooms.
More street people around, virtually no parking but a hop , skip and a jump from downtown BART stn. With Berkeley's downtown at your doorstep, including 2 3 movie theaters!
The Solano Ave Peets continues to be ,a good place to stop over for a relaxing cup. Recently remodeled there's ample seating inside and on the extra wide sidewalk there. Lots of shops and eateries nearby.
Finally, the Telegraph Ave site....pkg again a chore so best for walkers. Cal student area including student oriented casual eateries and shopping. Very little left of Telegraph of the 60's...this Peets is fine..again, coded bathrooms as this area is part of the street culture hub..
