Peet's Coffee is a chain coffee shop and this one is located in the Talega shopping center around the corner from the Ralph's. Peet's offers standard walk-in coffee shop fare with pastries, quickie sandwiches, teas, and coffee. You can buy in bulk or you can order individual cups and servings at the counter. The coffee has a strong flavor and the syrups lean towards very thick and sweet. So be careful how you order what you might from your standard coffee shop. I tend to order lighter on the syrup and heavier on the milk product. They do offer a variety of milks and for me my go to are almond and oat milk, which they have every time I go in. Standard walk-in coffee shop chain prices so anticipate $4-7 for a drink. Not my favorite, but still coffee I've ordered on multiple occasions. read more

I'm not sure why, but this store annoys me every time I walk in. There's always at least one person that's condescending or rude or whatever. I really need to stop coming here. The attitude at Starbucks is so much better than Peet's and I'm not even a big Starbucks fan, but this particular piece is horrendous. It's demonstrated by the fact that Starbucks, which is only about a mile away it's swamped all the time and every time you come into the store there's almost nobody hereright now on a Sunday morning where it should be packed There's three people here I'm not gonna write any more reviews on this place. I'm just gonna stop coming. It's not worth the effort anymore. read more

Good neighborhood coffee shop which beats the other chain. Easy to order online w app. I usually get an iced tea, havana Cappucino, egg and cheese toast and iced coffee. Today was just an iced tea. Friendly service. I wish the tables felt a little cleaner. Sometimes can get full w people working. Also wish all of the patio tables had umbrellas. Not sure if this is a Peets thing or the shopping plaza. read more

Amazing service by the 2 gentlemen working this late afternoon. I asked for another splash of half & half on my double espresso the barista didn't mind at all! read more

I go here EVERY DAY without fail, not because I can't make it at home myself, I go because of the sense of community I feel when I'm inside. It's the awesome staff/barista's that make my life so much better. Always friendly and cool people. The manager(s) are on top of thier game and make me feel like family. I feel at home when I come into the space. This is my happy place! read more

I love this Peet's location! It's convenient, always clean and well maintained. Staff is always super friendly and answers my weird questions about new products and changes I want to make to my drinks. My "go to" is an oat milk vanilla latte, less hot. And Peet's always makes it with perfection. Thank you! read more

Cappuccino today at 10 am was Starbucks bad. I come here for Pete's creamy froth. Not Starbucks stretched overheated airy foam. Not the first time. One more attempt and I'm out. read more

Pete's San Clemente is awesome. Well managed and the staff is super friendly. Coffee is always great! Thanks guys and gals! read more

Located in a nice neighborhood shopping center with plenty of parking. But lets get to the coffee, why do big chain coffee shops burn their beans? Had a latte with rubber tire after taste notes. Plus it took them 15+ minutes to make my drink. Understandable if its a morning rush but not late morning. Finally, when I paid and hit the no tip button, the cashier replied with "no tip?" and gave me the side eye, since when is tipping mandatory? Tip you for waiting 15+ mins for a burnt coffee? Not incline to return to this location! read more

I went in for a coffee with my teddy bear cut cute little Maltese poodle and the young lady proceeded to tell me there were no dogs in a rude way instead of being sweet about it and I said OK no tip and as I left, she referred to me as an asshole to her coworker so that I could hear it! Unprofessional read more

Great customer service! They greet you every time you walk in! Sweet baristas, they always have a friendly smile making your experience a nice one. This location gives me Carlsbad Vives! That's a great thing! The very first time my hubby and I introduced ourselves to Peet's was at the Bessie Ranch location in Carlsbad and since then we have been a true loyal Pertnik's fan! I enjoy their cold teas, and hot lattes. I just recently purchased two awesome tall mugs here (his and hers) and we are always looking for cool mugs to be added to our mug family. After all We didn't choose the #MUGLIFE, the Mug life chose us! They have a lovely and large our doors patio that wraps around the building from the front to the side! Lovely and just so pretty! Surrounded by y'all majestic Palm trees in the entrance of the shopping strip. read more

I have been too many Peet's coffee and none are as terrible as this one. I had gone in with my service animal and immediately was rejected and told to leave by a women. When I notified her it was a service animal she still told me I could not be in here regardless of what it was. This company is not compliant with the ADA and after reading these reviews I see I am not the only one who has experienced this. It seems this lady takes joy in rejected people either disabilities due to her distaste in animals. This place is going to end up with a lawsuit. Service animals come in all shapes and sizes and preform tasks that can be lifesaving. This girl should be fired. read more

Asked for Large on both. Received one smaller than the other. When I asked they said that the strawberry drink only comes in one size. I didn't know any better since it was my first time here and it will be definitely be the last. Holly was great, she was new but extremely helpful. She was the only thing good about this place. read more

Peet's Coffee - Both are some how Large. :/ - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Clemente, California

whoever the old lady is that works here with the dark hair needs an attitude adjustment. Made my drink wrong twice then wants to give an attitude about it. The men here are so incredibly kind and accommodating. BTW if you have a service animal do not speak to her she'll tell you to get out and throw a tantrum. read more

So rude. Walked in at 4:30 they close at 5pm no one else in store. I have frequented this spot for years sometimes even working inside. Clearly under new management. Rude and unnecessary behavior. Beware not the same kind comfortable feel! read more

Our go to neighborhood coffee shop! We love to walk here and hangout outside with our Saturday morning cup of coffee. Clean location, attentive staff and a beautiful palm tree view- can't beat it read more

GIANT shoutout to both Isabel and Kim for being so amazing and going above and beyond during today's visit!! So attentive, sweet, on the ball and incredibly helpful!! My wife and I LOVE this location. Excellent staff and excellent coffee- the best!!! No wonder I chose this location for my wife's 20 year anniversary coffee session!! read more

I'm surprised that this place seems to not take pride in their store. It's located in such a beautiful & busy shopping plaza in San Clemente but the store itself seems to have fallen on bad times. We love Peet's Coffee & we basically go everyday here in CdM, but this San Clemente location has dirty bathrooms & just have a somber ambiance. The management need to be re-trained or something. read more

I thought I walked into a coffee shop, not Joes Crab Shack, as was indicated by the cashiers tshirt. Do the employees not have to wear uniforms? He wasn't even nice, not mean but you could tell he was annoyed or got annoyed by me not knowing what to order. Maybe give me a suggestion? I've clearly never been here before. I don't know what it was but my coffee took a while to make. The sandwich I ordered was very messy and stiff/hard. Honestly coffee bean and tea leaf has better service overall. read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Clemente, California

Everyone is so hostile here. The barista was aggressive and mad. She took 15 minutes to make my tea and then was sassy when I asked if my drink was ready after 10 minutes. I don't feel as I was being unreasonable. Plus I noticed she treated every other customer around me the same. One girl even walked out and almost cried because the barista got mad at her when she touched the lid of her drink before the barista could change it to a different lid. Very disappointed by the service here. It used to be so much better. They deserve zero stars but Yelp makes me give them at least one. read more

To the barista on 8.1 at 11am My order for oat milk was "accidentally" replaced or ignored which resulted in diarrhea for me and 3 days of gut issues. When someone orders a non dairy alternative, please don't think you can substitute. Thank you for your attention to this detail. read more

Coffee is on point! I love Peets! However, customer service is lacking. When I come here I feel like Im a 6 year old bothering her teen older sister for a favor. The annoyed looks.... eye rolling So I avoid contact the barista by just ordering on the app. The coffee keeps me coming. And I have stop giving tips because of the body language. So my advice is - just order on the app and enjoy your coffee. read more

Pete's is Always friendly always great service. Always fun. Recommend highly I enjoy Pete's and enjoy the baristas

I intentionally avoid this Peet's location. The past 4-5 times I've visited here theres always an issue either with equipment or waiting for a drink they forgot to make, wrong orders etc.... nice staff, but never an enjoyable experience. read more

I stopped to eat at Peet's Coffee At 801-B Avenida Talega, in San Clemente Ca 92673. The place was clean. I was not allowed to take indoor photos. She said that corporate did not allow her to give permission for me to take photos. I told her that Peet's Coffee in Lake Forest allowed me to take indoor and outdoor photos. She told me that they were wrong in doing so. I did not believe her response, thus the downgrade. Robert H, read more

Best coffee anywhere service is fast and accurate you can get in and out quickly even during Morning rush.

Very consistent on every delivery order. Awesome coffee! I'll continue being a faithful customer. Best of the best! (:

Not brewing their signature Major Dickinsons. Kid didn't know what a pour over is, then said they don't do pour overs.

I like everything they make at Peets, everyone is nice and friendly. The only negative thing is that they took the straws away and I have to ask for one every time I order a drink. If your going to take straws away you should have the special lids like Starbucks or ask the customer if they want a straw when you hand them their drink. I get that it might be state law, at least get biodegradable straws for the lids. There is nothing worse than driving with coffee and popping the lid off to drink and getting coffee all over your work clothes. read more

I love this location, and go here often. It's a great place to work since it's not incredibly crowded. The staff is great, and super kind! The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is just that it's always so cold inside the store. read more

Love this place! Great place to bring your dog (ask for a puppyccino) and enjoy an amazing cup of coffee. read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Clemente, California

My "go to" coffee place!!! Their decaf, almond milk latte surpasses that of S*****ks by miles!

What I do love at Peet's is the service, menu and place itself. Cozy with plenty of seating outside as well and the drinks came out quickly. What I don't like is their coffee which is a shame. My mocha was bitter and just very off-putting in taste. The caramel better, but being a fan of mocha, both the hot and blended mocha just did not do it for me and I would probably not bother to return again. read more

Deep within the bowels of San Clemente, something dark and brown is brewing.... Yes, I drove 15 miles out of my way just to hit up the closest Peet's. This spot is in a little mini-mall located in suburbia heaven or hell, depending on your frame of reference. And I will keep repeating this as long as I live: Peet's coffee is 50 times smoother than that burnt stuff served up by that massive coffee chain we all are familar with. The music at this location was low key, the staff was friendly and happy, and the interior was clean and spacious. They have a nice patio, too, although it overlooks the parking area. We don't live in a fair or rational world but if we did, Peet's would be on every corner instead of that other coffee chain. read more

So lucky to have a Peet's here in Talega. What a great spot for meetings and to just decompress. Staff is always friendly

They don't take cash anymore. What a joke. This review is based on their decision to stop taking cash. The employees are really nice though. read more

Definitely not coming back here. I just went this morning before class. And i was standing in line for 10min with two people ahead of me and the whole time i was there they did not take any of our three orders. Ridiculous dont they have people to take orders and others to make it? I wont be returning till they get their shit together because thats just ridiculous read more
