This is by far the worst Peet's I've been to. I love Peet's but now go to Starbucks or Peet's in Walnut Creek. The service is so slow, it's ridiculous, and management's done nothing to correct this problem. They have an open register or two yet no one to staff it. They run out of coffee frequently, leading to longer wait. It's as if they're surprised that people come in and want coffee. read more

I placed an online order at this location 9.22 at around 9 am. When I got there my drink was warm instead of iced I asked the barista about it and she told me they could we make it but I needed to be careful next time when ordering not to make a mistake. She said that's it loud enough that other customers watched our interaction. Once my new drink was made another priest I gave it to me with a look of disapproval when the original barista told him I was a remake. The original barista apologized to me that the drink was wrong and I thought things would end well. But when I reached to grab a straw somehow my jacket touched a cup of coffee and it fell off the table and down my legs and all over my feet. The barista looked beyond annoyed with me and I said how sorry what it was and I wasn't sure how it happened. I went to grab napkins in the barista told me to "just leave it" with an angry tone. I was never asked if I was OK or hurt despite hot coffee dripping down my legs. From start to finish I was treated with an attitude and never with grace. I love Peet's but this experience has made me no longer want to support this location or even the company if this is how staff is trained to respond to customer issues. I manage 30 employees in customer service and if they behaved like this I would know there was a major need for retraining. I did receive superficial burns and was incredibly embarrassed. I'm sad this happened at one of my favorite coffee shops. I contacted customer service and all they told me is that they would reach out to the manager of this location to address the situation. A little/ a lot disappointed in Peets. read more

Drinks are consistently bad. I always find myself having to stir my drink after I get it because they never seem to mix them properly. Service is lacking as well. A lot of the time the staff comes off as if they are unhappy to be there. I'm going to stick to my usual locations, probably not coming back to Lafayette Peets. read more

This is my husbands preferred stop when we pass through that tunnel on the way to his mom's, his sister's, my sister's, or my dad's. It is an easy stop off the freeway and it has that homey feeling like everyone is a regular. If you love Peet's coffee, you know who you are, this location is an easy stop when you are driving around on THAT side of the tunnel. read more

Have been buying Garuda Blend from Peets North since 1976! Never go away!

This Peet's is a great central meeting spot for having a coffee with friends or business associates. I have enjoyed interacting with the employees here. They are super kind and fun to talk to, and at least a few of the baristas feel like "old timers." The coffee shop is clean - it can get crowded at peak times and seating can be challenging to find. They carried ham and cheese croissants for awhile (and still might) that were amazing. Coffee is really delicious, and the coffee accessories and gifts section contains a lot of unique, interesting items that I like to browse if I'm in line waiting to order a drink. read more

It's Peets. They have the best coffee and tea beverages! I use to be able to drink their coffee but had to give it up about a year ago because of a stomach problem - boy do I miss it. That doesn't stop me from going to Peets. I like the teas! The Jasmines are terrific. I like it being served in the little white pot - it particular "the Special Jasmine" that looks like a flower blooming in the hot water. The aroma of the tea is great too. In the summer they offer a cooled version of the Jasmine tea with a little sweetener, lemon and ice- very refreshing. Lafayette Peets is a great location - feels alive and happy with people strolling by. A great place to meet a friend and enjoy afternoon tea. read more

This is your standard Peet's - good coffee and tea, but I have to give it two stars because there is always a long line and the internet is slooooooooow. The bathrooms also tends to be out of order and barista's suggest you go next door to Chipotle or Noah's Bagels, which makes me feel weird since I didn't actually purchase anything from these places. Overall, it's a fine place if you want to go grab a coffee on your way to work, but you probably don't want to stay long enoguh to fight for a seat and wait for your email to load. read more

WiFi works again, and pretty good too! So now besides the great coffee and service, WiFi is back on the menu! Love this place again even it gets busy. Good job Peets! read more

Good service, but never enough seats when I've gone. Also, if you're here alone and it's busy, leave the extra chair at your table empty. Other people want to chill away from home too. read more

They are really nice behind the counter, explaining new blends and offering samples. This is the best coffee roaster in town. I certainly pefer them over Starbucks. The customers are sometimes a bit different, or shall we say they are upset they have to breathe the same air as you and me. That whole shopping area is uber-hectic and Type A. Slow down, Lamorinda! read more

I give them one star Their restroom was like garbage dump. Very very very dirthy. No toilet paper, no tissue. Unbeleivable. They must have someone to check the bathroom at least every two hours. read more

I got my coffee fix here while I was in California visiting family. They made really good iced americanos for me every time I came in and were super friendly and quick in the process :). Even though they are a chain, they still produce quality beverages unlike our other favorite chain to rag on :) read more

I like the service here because they actually smile and if they can't get to you right away, they say something nice like, "I'll be right with you" or "Good morning". It can get busy, but they are more efficient than most places and a smile goes a long way for this coffee lover. read more

I came here this past Sunday to get a quick fix before my cousin's baptism. Once I placed my order it took about 3 minutes before my mocha was made. There was a long line and they cranked through customers like nothing. I like how a small coffee gets two shots of espresso. The mocha was made perfect and it got me ready for the day. read more

I like this location a lot. Its close to school, and the atmosphere is pleasant and undisturbing. The music is always classical, a great one to appreciate when listening, and to tune out if needed. The people here are quite obliging, always offering their best possible services. The lemon rose tea is my obsession, one not many know about. Shhh! Sometimes I splurge and get the iced chai tea latte, nonfat, and a dash of cinnamon. It warms the cockles of my heart. read more

Every time I come here the service is remarkable. The staff is intelligent and I am also pleasantly surprised with how nice everyone including other customers are. Today I was served by Allie she was super relaxed even though it was so crowded in there today. The coffee is fresh and great as usual. I prefer this store over the Orinda one. read more

Unfortunately this is the only Peets in town so to get my fix, I have to come here. They are usually very slow, line or no line. The cream station was kind of a mess today, too. The baristas were very nice, though, which is why they got the two stars. read more

Even before the upgraded changes this was the place to go to get great service, great coffee and enjoy a great atmosphere. The workers are always patient and extremely helpful with taking the idea of what I want and suggesting things I might like. Very helpful when I can be indecisive! Best spot in town!!! read more

I used to always love coming here until recently. I walked to the counter to order my drink and accidentally asked for a grande the lady just looked at me until I said the word medium. She was extremely rude and tossed the change into my hand. She treated my co worker the same way. I won't be coming here anymore. read more

I am still baffled that when they decided to remodel this space they did not seek a larger store.. apparently this is the busiest store in the entire chain.. now for the coffee.. i dont think it is as good as it used to be.. Peets as made steps to go corporate.. you can buy shares.. they moved into a huge roasting facility.. all things that have contributed to my Joe being less than it once was.. my cup today reminded me of burnt cheap french roast from Costco. Cole coffee way better.. Weavers for real Peets flavor as it once was.. read more

I am OBSESS with the lafayette Peets! They have been really consistent with the quality of my drinks, especially the Peppermint Mochas! Not only do they offer their drinks at an affordable price (well cheaper than Starbucks that's for sure) AND they provide coupons! I mean I got a large holiday beverage for like $4!! That's a small at Starbucks! And oh, don't get me started with the Moraga Starbucks guys. It's really horrible and they really do not care about your drinks! The only cons I would say is that they do not have an oven to warm up your biscuits and cookies )-: which is a real bummer because who likes to eat it cold and hard? Also, I wish they had a location in Moraga! Sometimes the traffic just sucks going down Mt. Diablo and I just rather avoid that any way I can! read more

Peet's is always my go-to, reliable coffee chain of choice. Service at this location is friendly. Almond milk au laits (coffee and steamed milk) for me, a chai Javiva for CR. read more

Overall love coming here as it's on my way to work and it's easy. However, there is a girl Cailey that works at the front taking orders and is completely rude. I've been helped by her a handful of times and never a smile nothing. You're the first point of contact customers have with Peet's. SMILE. It wouldn't hurt. Also, make it seem like you enjoy your job. read more

I just spent 10 minutes in the coffee bean line with one person in front of me being served. The barista was chatting her up while preparing 1/2 # of ground coffee for her. There was no one behind me when I got in line, there were 5 folks behind me when I finally got the attention of the barista. I asked for 1# of Sumatra whole beans and was told they were out. Their signs still indicated that they had Sumatra for sale. This is the second time this has happened to me at this store in the past two months. I think I will take my business back to Starbucks. read more

Let me start off by saying that I have been a HUGE Peets fan since my first experience. I have been advocating Peet's superiority over Starbucks and other coffee shops for years. BUT STOP GETTING LAZY. PUT FOAM IN "EVERY" ICED DRINK. I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO ASK FOR EXTRA FOAM. IF I WANTED TO ASK FOR FOAM, I WOULD GO TO STARBUCK (across the street, in Safeway, or down the road) There are a variety of reasons that Peets is so great: employees are more knowledgable about coffee, they serve better coffee, and in general they make better drinks. One of the areas that Peets has always dominated (especially over Starbucks) is iced drinks. Years ago I was introduced to Peets iced latte. The ONLY thing that really set it apart from any other iced drink is the delicious FOAM. I fell in love instantly. Every other coffee place I went to (including Starbucks) I tried to ask for foam, and they looked at me like I was crazy. Oh well, I thought, at least I have Peets. But not anymore. Peets has been getting lazy. I have been patient, but I just can't take it anymore. So here is your heads up Peets: GET IT TOGETHER. The only thing that separates you from everyone else is the care and attention given to every drink. I know some baristas are better than others. But this is for the managers: Make sure the baristas are doing their job. And please, please, please don't make me have to ask for foam in my iced drink again. read more

I am a big fan of Starbucks, but my other half just loves Peet's. They know him by first name. They lines move slower here then at Starbucks. But all and all still a good place to get coffee. read more

They always make the drinks perfect, clean and the people are so friendly... but this morning I had their coffee cake... yuck! Its dry, has scattered nuts in it that almost seem like they arn't supposed to be in there, super hard to eat with hands... dont get the coffee cake read more

12/16/2020 approximately 6pm. Two males and one female were working. The female that was working was clearly not having a good night. It was apparent because she had an attitude talking with the males that were working and was upset that I ordered a Black Tea fog. I was given a hibiscus shaker instead and I mentioned that I ordered a Black tea fog. She told her coworkers multiple times that they do not make those anymore and I mentioned that I ordered one last week and didn't know it was an issue and wouldn't have ordered it if I knew. They said that they don't have the ingredients (the concentrated black tea if I heard correctly) I said that regular black tea would be fine and probably taste as great. She finished making a different drink I also ordered and proceeded to throw the straw on the counter. I asked if I did anything wrong because she threw the straw. She said she was sorry I perceived it that way... that is exactly how I perceived it. Straws do not make a thump noise when they are placed on the counter, if she had done that. The drink ended up tasting just fine but just didn't appreciate the attitude and the throwing of the straw. Totally not necessary. read more

Took my good friend from out of town to this Peet's. The service by one "Cameron" fellow was excellent! She ordered an almond milk chai and I had a latte, both were out in a timely manner and tasted great. This is a great study spot too! read more

Great coffee as always but man do they need to dust! Tons of dust bunnies hanging off the signs and lights. Made me too nervous to order the food that was hanging out below. read more

Always great service and fantastic coffee! Thanks! The customers can sometimes be impatient and cut in line, just laugh and drink your mocha! read more

I have always loved Peet's, great people, great coffee. They just got Almond Milk, I am so excited! I have been on JJ Virgin diet, so no sugar and no dairy and no soy. I love that I can get a sugar free vanilla almond milk latte and not ruin the 19 pounds I have lost so far! You guys are the best! Stay that way! read more

Five stars for coffee and wonderful staff; one star for dropping the loyalty free drink with $25 card, then by stopping a 10% discount for a month so now I feel loyalty isn't appreciated and I'm reminded of it every purchase. Why is the thermostat control in another state? Why is the restroom always dirty and I'll-equipped with supplies? Why is the wifi so iffy, slow and limited on capacity? I love Peets coffee and store people, but corporatism is dragging it down. Update 4-18-16: the outside restroom has been cleaned and painted and is now acceptable. 'Bout time. Temp inside Peets also seems comfortable most of the time now, and wifi seems to be more reliable. Even that bad electrical outlet has been fixed. Hooray! On the other hand, I tried one of the new breakfast uh, things and found it about 1/2 the thickness of the picture and tasteless. Also, expensive, as are most of Peets food items. Nearly $3 for a muffin? Needs some corrections. Coffee and people, as always, are excellent which is why I bother to offer suggestions to make it all better. Peets is/are great folk and great coffee. read more

Not my favorite peet's but consistent coffee and warm staff.

Great staff, great espresso, strong drip coffee, delicious beans. Did I say great staff? Nice work!! read more

I never write on Yelp but seriously the staff here are amazing! Incredibly nice and just about made my day. If you want the best coffee experience go here. read more

Peet's sumatra and only peets! store staff nice and organized and has nice patio in back. read more

Walked in after work, someone told me this place employed the three guys who started Starbucks back in '71 or in Seattle: apparently they had worked here first? I said the place belongs to Howard Schultz, but what do I know. Peet's has atmosphere, and you get to know people here. Everyone has stories. read more

Best mochas, nice place in general. Service can get slow when busy, but that's expected.
