Peet's Coffee

Good coffee and the staff is friendly. However, the shop seems to be operating at a “skeleton-crew” level the times I’ve been there.

Sometimes you’ll find the location clean and well maintained, other times you’ll have to clean your own table before setting up. Restrooms are MUCH cleaner after Peet’s installed the new lock system.

Safety wise? Idk. There are individuals that frequent this location that...well, just don’t leave your valuable items unguarded. (Does not factor in my rating for this location as such individuals are customers 9/10x).

I love Peets. I’ve never given a bad review. This shop staff was so rude. I simply asked for milk and a sugar and she just stared at me. I realize there is Covid but she was so rude and so impolite. I’m in Monterey for one week. I’ve been here three times. I’m not coming back. Starbucks is just down the road.

Maybe you were having a bad day. But it takes the same effort to be kind as it does to be rude. And the world needs more kindness these days.

Great coffee and location downtown. They are often very busy, so I order in advance. Only criticism is that there are too many people “camped out” with laptops, not enough tables to sit and enjoy the brew.

Good seats inside and outside.

I've been wanting to try Peet's Coffee for some time. Went in this shop today, and we weren't even acknowledged. Three women behind the counter, but not one even bothered to look up. We stood there for several minutes. One came up, messed with the register, then walked off. Truly disappointing customer service. Left without ordering anything.

The barista/cashier suggested and helped me make a drink that was just perfect the way I like it. Does get very crowded so order ahead might be a good option, but we went earlier enough that the wait was ok.

The staff at Peet's rocks the house. Even the new trainees are friendly and not frazzled. They work very hard to keep the line short. Oh, and the coffee is FANTASTIC!! Love their choice of baked goods too. My go to coffee shop.

Cold brew is really really good here must return for more. Good service and I got here without a wait.

Atmosphere is hard to judge at the moment since the place is not crowded. Pretty standard I guess.

Not a bad place if you can find a seat inside. Outside the smell of transients overwhelms the good coffee. Perhaps it's not really Peet's fault -- the City does a piss-poor job in everything but writing parking tickets. It's time for a new Police Chief and City Manager. David Jacks was correct believing the city a fool.

They gave our food to the person two orders behind us and while waiting for them to make our replacement, they used their hands to scoop trash off the floor, shove the towering trash down into the trashcan and then promptly opened a new bag of lids for future use. No hand washing between. Meanwhile I carefully take my mask down to sip my coffee and immediately get told to put it back on.
