I started drinking Peets coffee during a visit to my brother's house in Boston awhile back, and we need one your stores in our area. We call it The Greater Michiana area because our area comprises Southwestern lower Michigan, and the extreme Northwestern corner of Indiana. I live 15 minutes from the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's College, Holy Cross College, and the Indiana University campus in South Bend, IN. It's a very diverse area, and Starbucks is all we really have going for us at the moment. As the Notre Dame Campus keeps expanding with new condos and shopping by the football stadium, your store would be warmly welcomed. Send someone to come and visit the area. :)

WHEN will you come to Arizona??? Starbucks is all over the place, and it doesn't compare to your coffees! Love visiting family in the bay area in CA, and frequent your places as much as possible. Drink it every morning, but would LOVE to go to one of your stores! I would drive into downtown Tucson to go to a Peet's. Is there any way to take over at least one of the Starbuck stores here?

Iam a chef school graduate and a coffee freak. I mail order beans from as far as Hawaii and NY, and Mass. I even roast my own green beans. Nothing compairs to Peets darkness and richness. I wish they would open a store in south florida, but for now I have to be pleased that they are in our grocery aisles. I dont like Starbucks to bitter and Alfred Peet taught Starbucks the proper way to a dark roast. Peets reigns supreme. I like Major Dicksons Blend and Sumatra and Indian peaberry on your special order coffee. Thank you for an awesome product and Ill allways be a satisfied Peets customer.

I started drinking Peet's since my early university days at CAL. When I moved back to Southern California, I was happy to find a Peet's near my work (Marina del Rey) and places I would go with my girlfriend (Belmont Shores and Larchmont). Now that I live in Honolulu, I was afraid I would never be able to drink another cup of Peet's unless I was on the mainland. That is until I stumbled upon the familiar packages of coffee in the Safeway aisles!!! Thank you god for allowing me to keep my secret obsession to the best coffee on the planet. (I've been suffering because of SBs and CB&T all around the islands, but not a single place that serves this liquid oro of the gods!)

Although I'm not one of the first Peetniks, I was part of that morning group when Officer Don Clendenon of the Berkeley Police Department commanded the corner of Vine and Walnut. I was introduced to Peet's coffee when I worked as a waitress at the Egg Shop & Apple Press in Walnut Square. We served Peet's and Mr. Peet would come in for a meal regularly.

One year, Don and I decided to create Peetnik T-shirts (I was working at a local T-shirt print shop by this time). We got the Okay of the Peet's management and I designed a shirt with the street sign Vine and Walnut growing out of the 't' of Peet's. We sold them in the mornings while drinking our morning cups.
(If anyone has one of these shirts I'd love to have it)
I have been hooked ever since! I was luck enough to move to East Hampton at the same time Peet's started the e-commerce site so I have never been without my lovely cup of Peet's coffee. And now I can get it at my local grocery store. I do miss the fun of hanging out with friends on the corner though.

A few years ago a friend of mine told me about Peet's coffee as the best. I've intended on trying it but just felt it was too expenseive especially since i buy a french roast from Costco that I love for about 1/3 the cost. We'll it was on sale at my local safeway and decided to try it - OMG - it is indeed the best coffee I have ever had. I use a french press (love it), and with Peet's coffee it taste so close to the expresso I drank and loved when I was in Italy. I got the French Roast (my favorite roast) and I think I am hooked - oh well if my coffee budget increases, somethings in life are just not worth skimping on. Drink gourmet coffee and eat gourmet chocolate!I'm worth it!

My brother moved to the Bay Area in 04 & now resides in San Francisco & this is how I was introduced to Peet's. I was surprised at the absence of Starbucks locations when I first visited the Bay Area since they are the king here. Then I had my first Peets coffee. Thankfully, they started selling it in some of the specialty grocery stores here & I have been buying it regularly ever since I could get my hands on it. I just joined Peetniks because we can only get 1/2 lb bags here. I love this coffee!!! It's the only coffee I drink. When I visit SF, the first thing I do after deplaning @ SFO is grab a Peet's! PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE bring some stores (a store) to the PGH area!!!

We left the Bay Area 4 years ago and have truly missed getting a "smarge" at Peet's with a couple of DonSueMor Madeleines for the kids. Family & friends all bring Peet's when they visit from CA. I just visited this website to see how far away my nearest midwest Peet's fix might be and I discovered that my local grocer was on the list! When I called the store they said they've had Peet's for about a MONTH! Hallelujah! We're saved! And guess what all my co-workers and neighbors are getting for Christmas!

At the Boulder, CO location, there is a barista named Justin who does consistently perfect cappuccino 10 times out of 10, I'd rate between 9/10 to 10/10. Perfect temp, right amount of milk, silky foam, and rich fresh espresso. If I walk by the location and he's working, well I have to go in. I was so glad to give up bitter ashtray inconsistent SB and do the switch to Peets.
