I love Peet's coffee. I was introduced to it first by DH in Manhattan Beach or it Hermosa? Anyway, I like how strong the coffee is and the tea offerings. I had the coffee and nut/fruit scone and it surpassed my expectations. It was much nuttier than I could imagine and just the right crumbly consistency and not too soft. It went great with my very strong black coffee. I prefer the dark warm brown wood interior decor of this venue over the "other' coffee franchises. If money wasn't an issue and there were more locations, I'd be at Peet's every day. read more

Slow service. Unpleasant staff. For 2 coffees have been waiting for 25 mins and when I asked when it's coming the answer was "wait I'll call you when it's ready". Hmmm... very poor. They shouldn't accept business they can't handle read more

A few years back my daughter and I did a Tour de PSL at all the various coffee chains and non-chains, and Peet's was my winning pick (due to the fact that it had a great pumpkin spice flavor that wasn't sickeningly sweet, and the espresso was still the star of the show). Every time I stop at this location I am thrilled with my drinks and service - the people who work here are super friendly and just plain awesome! A consistently pleasant experience is rare this day and age, so for this I am grateful. read more

I used to arrive late to work to drive up PCH to get to the Peet's in Redondo. Now there's a location in Rolling Hill Plaza (cue the simpering look of sublime happiness). MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I don't generally drink black coffee. I doctor it - usually a lot - with milk and sugar. At Peet's I drink it with only the tiniest splash of milk. Despite this, I have gotten exactly 1 (one) bad, yucky, bitter cup of coffee at Peet's in almost three years. IMO, the only better coffee is at the Santa Barbara Roasting Company. And even there, I have to pour on the milk/sugar. read more

As a fan of the Mermaid, I liked my visit at this Peet's. The place was clean, the guys were friendly and they whipped up my soy chai latte up perfectly. Their drinks are not as sweet as the Mermaid, but that was remedied with a packet of sugar. Its located in the heart of a busy shopping center, with ample seats inside and out. I wish they had a frequent card or a smartphone app. Yeah, that the Mermaid customer in me speaking. I don't carry a lot of cash, and to charge a $4 cup of chai seems silly. read more

I love Peet's, but was just treated like an idiot by the girl at the counter. I'll try and visit the other locations in the area and avoid this one. read more

Love my Peets peeps always great coffee with amazing service. The Torrance and Redondo coffee shops are so good at making my coffee just right. read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Peet's is one of my fav place for a great cup of real strong coffee. They know exactly how to make a simple espresso and when I am in the mood for a latte, they even have oat milk. Great service too. The staff is always friendly and always greet the customers when they walk in the door. read more

Great atmosphere with lots of space and wonderful staff! Their almond latte is my new favorite read more

Peet's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Lame. Purchased 3lbs of coffee and had to pay for a cup of coffee (did get a 45 cent discount. Woooweee oooh). Other branches, like Redondo Beach, give a free cup with one pound. I'm spending over 50 bucks on beans and you can't comp one lousy cup of Joe? I'll plan my errands better next time and buy elsewhere. read more

Great coffee, great staff. If you want to be treated nicely, this is the place to be. Our Barista, Bryan, was so nice, from the moment we walk in, and took our order; we feel so welcomed. And our Latte, just the right flavor, just the right temp. read more

In a city full of Starbucks and Coffee Beans, it's so nice to have a pleasant alternative with quality coffee and tea. The tea is always strong, and the pastries are delicious. The employees here are always friendly. They don't treat me like a nuisance or try to sell me extra items. read more

Really, really good customer service here. I won an awesome drink coupon from L.A. Foodie and I felt like it was time to redeem the darned thing. I walked into Peet's unsure about what I wanted, so I asked one of the associates to help me out. After a few questions, David suggested that I try one of his favorites, the caramel chocolate swirl Freddo. As I held the gargantuan drink in my hand, I took my first sip. What I got in my mouth was a blob of chocolate syrup. WHOA. I mixed it up a bit more and took a few more sips. It was unbearably sweet. I couldn't figure out how an adult could ever finish such a thing. Feeling like a jerk, I walked back in and let David know that I just couldn't finish the drink and decided to opt for a plain iced coffee instead. Now, I'm not usually one to complain about free stuff, but I felt like it was a waste of a coupon, you know? Well, David reassured me that it was no big deal and even presented me with another free drink coupon. I was lost for words! Incredible customer service from everyone there. It really made my day! You don't see this type of service much these days. Thanks, everyone! read more

Went in to get coffee with my son and hot cocoa the girl was rude making the hot cocoa and coffee asked us not to stand by her counter which is fine because of COVID I'm assuming, we had our masks on it asked her for-stoppers and she threw them on the counter how clean is that, thanks for being rude! read more

So this morning on my way to work I made my usual stop at starbucks just to find that they were out of splenda... then I shake the half and half thermos to realize that they were out of that as well... I sweeten my coffee with sugar in the raw, and cream it with 2% hoping it'd be paletable... only to find that their coffee was WEAK! I've spent all day craving strong coffee that's properly sweetened and creamed and I finally decided to head over to Peet's. If i had to use one word to describe Peet's I'd have to say they are: Consistent! Their drip coffee isn't just good, it's ALWAYS good. Their baristas aren't just friendly and knowledgeable, they're ALWAYS friendly and knowledgeable. Their cream stations aren't just clean and stocked, they're ALWAYS clean and stocked. So I'm sorry starbucks, until you train your employees to make better coffee and stock up on essentials like cream and splenda I refuse to spend 2 dollars on your coffee, unless I'm late and don't have time to drive all the way to Peets. (gotta have my fix!) Other Pro's: - Free wifi - Swank schwag - Strong ass coffee - Conveniently located by Trader Joes and Omaha Steaks Cons: - Refills are 90 cents... but well worth it. - Wifi expires after 2 hours... which happened during the writing of this review (thanks yelp auto-save) read more

Yesterday, I decided to try Peet's Coffee for the first time. The girl who worked behind the register with the super thick, charcoal eyebrows and humongous nose was super rude. No greeting, rolled her eyes after I ordered, gave an attitude, and threw my card on the counter. I asked for a mocha freddo but got water with brown bits floating instead. I don't think it was supposed to taste like that (and by that, I mean like sh*t). FAIL. read more

Prefer Peet's over Starbucks and Coffee bean. I am not an avid coffee drinker, but I occasionally enjoy the smooth taste and calming aroma of Peet's coffee. read more

Peet's Coffee - Cashier. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

This is my favorite coffee place. The staff are nice and friendly. The classic music playing in the background is relaxing. Would come here everyday if I can. read more

I'd give then 5 stars until my experience there yesterday. I might be a little harsh, but the barista needed help....lots of it...or else he shouldn't have been a barista. Normally we go to this Peet's in the morning after the rush of the working folks get their coffee fix, so it's fairly slow. I absolutely adore Ciara (I think that's how you spell her name, but it's pronounced Sierra). She's very friendly and cheerful and now knows us by name - sad huh? Anywho, yesterday afternoon we went around 4pm and it was a bit busy, so you'd think the barista would buckle down and focus a bit more on making the drinks. Nope....he was slower than a turtle and seemed to perform worse with the sudden influx of pressure put on him. There were 5 other people waiting for their drinks as well...and it took about 10 minutes for us to get ours. I love that Peet's so I won't hold it too much against them...but still...a woman's gotta have her coffee when she needs her coffee dammit!! Oh and the coffee was burnt...tsk tsk tsk read more

Very good coffee here, better than Starbucks. I had a small dark roast blend. It was rich and strong, a really good coffee. Price was a little high, $2.15, for a small coffee but it was worth it. The store is similar In layout to Starbucks and other coffee stores. There are plenty of tables and comfortable chairs to sit at and a nice patio area in front. The free wifi has a good signal and doesn't require registration. Service was good. There was a short line but it moved fast. read more

Always a great place to enjoy a latte with my dogs and visit with others.

I went a few days ago with a large order. It was a hot day and my coworkers and I needed to refuel. I came to this location and absolutely loved it. They were patient, friendly, and even took the time to explain the difference between a variety of the drinks they offered. My coffee was strong and not too sweet just like I ordered it. Thank you for the service and the hard work read more

When my wifi decides to not cooperate, I have two choices: either Panera or Peet's Coffee & Tea. I don't know why, but I keep getting drawn to Peet's when wifi and I aren't on speaking terms. The warm, chocolate brown interior with the plushy couches and inviting golden lighting beacons me to its bosom and free wifi love. I am absolutely in amore with the baroque classics they play! Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine I am sipping tea at some cozy cafe in Vienna. Tea...since I am trying to cut back on coffee is offered in so many different varieties. So far I've tried: -Holiday Breakfast Blend (A black tea that is delightful with a dash of milk and sugar) -Pure Peppermint Organic (It makes me feel happy and tingly inside!) -Lemon Rose (The rose balances out the lemon to a mellow beautiful tea) I can't wait until I try the others! Happy Tea and Coffeeing~! read more

Free wifi lasts 1 hour maximum. I loved that this location was very spacious and relatively quiet, enough to study and read peacefully and undisturbed for several hours. The lady who assisted me was very friendly and knowledgeable about the coffees and teas offered, and I chose to go with Jasmine Downy Pearls. Highly recommended if you like the taste of organic tea. read more

I love this place. So I come here all the time. Love their coffee, love their pastry, love their service. I definitely think Peet's has something Starbucks doesn't have & their coffee really is much more outstanding! My only complaint up until Sunday was that no matter how "extra hot" I order the drinks, they are not hot enough... However, I had to take off 1 star because of my latest visit on Sunday. The girl ringing me up was NOT FRIENDLY like everyone else I encountered. She was actually somewhat rude & apparently didn't even get my order right! The baristas there that day were not friendly! There were 2 & of 1 who made my drink literally didn't want to work there as he took FOREVER blending my drink. When it came out, we noticed that the girl messed up my drink but he didn't even say sorry- What happened, Peets? read more

The staff were really friendly, and unlike most places, the barista got my name right. Most times when they ask for my name when I order, I tell them, "Edward", even though I usually go by Ed. But for some reason whenever I say, "Ed" to a barista or a host/hostess, they always look at me confused and say, "Ahn?" or "Add?" or "oohd?" or "eeet?". One day I should just say, "Yeah, my mom named me oohd". Anyway, the smiling barista got the name right, and they got the coffee right too. The apple crisp danish was delicious as well. When I told one of the guys the creamer was empty, he genuinely thanked me and filled it up. I'll definitely be back. read more

Definitely one of the better coffee shops to study at in the South Bay. It is usually very quiet in here and once in a while will have a couple of people catching up and talking. But generally most people here are getting work done. I've come here to study and have gotten a lot of work done. The staff are very friendly and will help you with the menu if you're confused on what to order. Also, sometimes if I don't want to move because I'm studying, but know I have to eat lunch I either grab something quick from the same plaza, usually Trader Joe's or Nijiya market. But they also have Blaze Pizza, Veggie Grill, Fish Bonz, Whole Foods, etc. :) TIP: The $1 off black tie, use it. My sister ordered it, it's delicious! read more

I luh luh luh love you! Dripped coffee here is GREAT! I like mine with lotsa raw sugar and half and half please! Their roasts are much darker so if you don't like strong coffee then turn the other way because you probably won't sleep for the night! Thanks!! Don't forget that they DO NOT have fancy shmancy LINGO here, so simply small, medium, or large! I do love their white mochas here. It's less sweet than other places I've tried which means it's definitely more for the REAL coffee lovers. Service however needs HELP! EVERYTIME i've gone here all the workers (except the little bubbly asian girl) are never smiling nor do they say a WORD to you except for, "what can I get for you? or SMALL WHITE MOCHA WITH REGULAR MILK AND WITH WHIP" Aside from the emo staff, drip coffee is great, mixed drinks are good and pastries are ok...seemed to be old every time I got a pastry. read more

Best service! Best coffee for chain, even better than a lot of momma/poppa shops! Remember so many regulars names and take their time to get newbies orders! Never have I ever had an order messed up! Love the team here! read more

Customer service is always great and the wait is never too long. The black tie is seriously so good!

I prefer the plain coffee here to Starbucks. The coffee is brewed more often and in sparkling, glistening pots. The coffee always has a taste and aroma. The people working there are nice, but not overly friendly - I like that. Perfect for hot coffee, but I wouldn't stay to drink it there or read because the furniture is too wierdly spaced. Overall, I recommend this place to stop by and pick up a coffee if you're in the mood. read more

The atmosphere was both low key and extremely welcoming and helpful. They let you look at the options before jumping on you asking for your order. Very helpful and seemed sincerely polite and happy to serve me. I found this refreshing in the extreme!! And coffee was delicious dark, flavorful, and HOT of course. read more

Went here for the second time today. Absolutley the best double espresso I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. In my past life I had a rancillio silivia coffe maker in my kitchen. Over the 7 years or so of using that fine implement I thought I had maxed out the possibility for finely made coffee. Not so! Today at Peet's I experienced the best drawn coffee imaginable better than even I could make with my manual espresso machine. Thank you Peets you rock! $2.15 for a super nice double espresso and free for the (small amount) warmed non fat milk the barista so kindly put in my cuppa. read more

5 stars because of the staff. A great crew = happy customers. I hate coffee, so I would just stop in for pastries :) read more

Today, I ordered a large coffee from Peet's - dark roast. Didn't pay attention to see what blend or single origin coffee was brewing. Peet's employee: I ran out of the brewed dark roast, but I managed to fill the cup 3/4 th of the way. Would you like me to tap it off with the medium roast? Me: NO! Do you mix a Merlot with a Chardonnay? Vodka with tequila? Milk and orange juice? A lot of the training for Peet's baristas has disappeared. Many don't understand that coffee is a produce and should be treated like wine. Single origin and blends are seasonal and taste different every cycle. I've had coffee at this store and have seen the employees ruin the coffee and espresso brewing process by not rinsing out the urns or portafilters. Sad. Alfred Peet's worked very hard to teach the world how coffee should be enjoyed, and his legacy has been tainted by the training cuts that the corporation has taken to grow the shareholders' interests. Now, the baristas are not at fault. The problem lies with the lack of training and guidance to know they are handling something special. As for my coffee, I think it was the Gaia - very earthy and chocolatey. read more

This is your typical Peet's coffee that always has great service and delicious coffee. I ordered my typical go to holiday drink, Pumpkin Spiced Latte. The pumpkin flavor was not too strong and did the job for me. Service was friendly and fast. read more

Peet's is A-OK! I came here twice this past week, two days in a row. Both times, it was fairly quiet inside, with some empty seats at the tables. I can see how this could be a good study/work spot. I think that some customers might find it a problem that wifi is offered for only one hour per customer. I gave 3 stars because I'm not a huge fan, and I don't know that I'll be coming back. I'm so used to Starbucks, that I have a preference for their lattes. ): I feel bad, but that's what my taste buds tell me! Please don't take it personally, Peet's. read more

I love that this Peet's is located right across the parking lot from 24 Hour Fitness! It's great for getting your caffeine kick before a workout, or for waiting if you've come early to get a number for a class. I like to sit here, get a coffee, and read before the spin class at 24. Anyway, it's a typical Peet's, with stronger coffee than Starbucks, and a less hectic vibe. It's pretty relaxed, and it's nice that this location is larger and more spacious. The baristas here are also really friendly! Hooray! There's also outdoor seating if that floats your boat, though it's got a view of the parking lot so.... yeah. read more

Happy Birthday to Mathew! He and his co-barista were extra nice to me today, signing into the Peet's app for the first time. Got me fixed up with a tasty vanilla flat white that was deeeelicious, made special for me & my friend. I wish there were more Peet's around town! These guyz were extra nice and I hope Mathew has an awesome birthday! Mine is next week, so CHEERS! read more
