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.

I was in the ACME market in Seaville, N.J. with coupon in hand to purchase another brand of coffee. Your rep was there stocking the shelve and explained the freshness aspect of Pete's and went over each blend. He also directed me to the website where I printed a coupon and purchased his coffee. Good guy and great coffee

We currently live about 45 miles from Myrtle Beach. We have spent time in Florida and got to know the Publix supermarkets. We discovered a Publix about 100 miles from us and decided to take a trip to shop there. Walking down the coffee aisle I saw the name Peet's Coffee. Since we really love good dark roast coffee (black) I read the package about Peet's and had to try (Major Dickanson). I am hooked! It is the very best coffee we have had and we will become a Peetnik! Thanks so much!

We took our daughter and he two sons to visit our son and his family in Redwood City, Ca. We stayed at the Summerfield Suites that had a full kitchen with a regular coffee pot. We bought groceries at the local store and I saw PEET's COFFEE on sale. I bought a bag and the first mornming started a pot of coffee around 6:30am. Well it wasn't ten minutes after the coffee was ready, that everyone was up wanting a cup of coffee.
I just ordered 2# to be sent to us every 28 days. May have to increase the dilivery time.
