Peet's Coffee

Really good mocha and friendly staff

Great service and amazing coffee. The baristas are always so nice and recognize regulars.

The service there is really nice and efficient. Even if the line is super long, they get things out pretty quick. Their coffee is really good (way better than Starbucks') and their almond milk is much sweeter and doesn't taste bitter like most. If you haven't tried it yet, go for their Earl Grey Latte (I recommend with almond milk). Also, the staff is pretty attentive. I order a drink with almond milk that usually comes with whipped cream (I didn't know that) and I didn't ask for no whipped cream. The barista noticed it was being made with almond milk and nothing was marked about the whipped cream so he asked "Hey, do you still want whipped cream" and didn't just assume I wanted it. That personal touch was really nice. I like Peet's a lot.

2 bucks for a coffee, you can't really beat that. The proximity to my apartment building alone is worth the 2 bucks. The coffee is pretty standard. Like I have heard before from coffee enthusiasts, that at a major chain coffee house you are paying for caffeine not necessarily a quality of the coffee. Which I tend to agree with, but sometimes you want to get something fast and relatively cheap that's going to wake you up, hence why I went to Peet's. Over all not bad and they are everywhere in the city so access is the best part of this coffee place.
