Peet's Coffee

Today I was driving through this place and tasted coffee from this place. It was truly delicious. I will not be able to come to you often, because I rarely go here, but the quality of coffee and service should be noted was excellent.

Phenomenal coffee. It's more expensive than Coffee Bean or Starbucks but it *does* taste better. You can immediately tell the difference in quality as soon as you taste it. Most of the employees seem pretty nice and professional, a few show room for improvement.

Since moving from Anchorage Alaska I've had a hard time finding good coffee in Redondo Beach. I'm sorry but Anchorage has the BEST COFFEE!!!
The 2 places that I've found that are pretty darn close are Peets and TwoGuns.
I get there 16oz white mocha with oat
Milk, 4 shots espresso and coconut syrup. Must try!

This visit was our first time to a Peet's Coffee location. We were very happy with the customer service we got here. Baristas were very helpful and patience also gave us excellent choices to try. Extremely happy 🎉👍

Power was out. So, I had to go out for coffee. I'm glad I went to Peet's. So good, and the staff were "make you smile" friendly. Also, seemed very COVID safe.

Very nice! I was going to stay and enjoy my coffee in the front but a bunch of old MAGA heads were sitting out front complaining so I went for a walk instead. Delicious coffee. Good prices. Tasty snacks.

Now, this HERE IS the way to drink tea! Black Assam with steamed whole milk RoCks! MOVE OVER weak tea lattes everywhere else! 😎☕👍

If you love COFFEE... this is the place to go locally. Their coffee is fresh ground, rich, strong, aromatic and flavorful. They also do make fancy coffee drinks, etc., but this place has good coffee made from good java beans. Worth stopping in by.$$

Here I am at Pete's Coffee at 1418 S. Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach. After years of going to Pete's shops all over both Northern and Southern California, this was a first today. You see, I prefer a strong latte with less milk so I can taste the espresso. As I had routinely done tens, if not over a hundred times before, I asked for my regular large latte in a medium size cup. A large latte contains three shots, a medium two, but adding an extra shot to a medium is another $0.90 making it around $0.50 more expensive than a large.

When the manager heard the request this Saturday afternoon (4/13/19), he marched right over and pounced, putting his foot down. "We're not authorized to do that!", he barked like a decommissioned Drill Sargeant at Cub Scout camp. Having never been met with anything but smiles and a large latte in a medium size cup before, I looked at him quizzically (while the barrista looked down uncomfortably). "We can't do that," he repeating, doubling down, then raising his voice to pronounce to the whole store, "I'll do it just this one time, but not again!".

Now, mind you, I'd never met this millennial in Patton cosplay (requisite beard notwithstanding), nor had I ever been in this particular Pete's. For future reference, here's four things our mogul-in-training might want to consider next time a customer simply asks for a smaller cup:

1} By putting a large latte in a medium cup, Pete's saves on paper cup costs.
2) By using less milk, they save on milk.
3) By charging a customer a fair price (ie, the listed price of a large latte), the difference saved from the inflated cost of an extra shot will go in his tip jar rather than into the company's coffer.
4) By insulting a new customer and embarrassing the server, this manager has no need to warn that his gracious gift of a one time exception to the rule will ever happen again because in his infinite wisdom, he's guaranteed that this customer will never go back to his location, nor to any Pete's franchise stores again if, indeed, there's been a policy change since the days when Pete's Coffee was the most user friendly boutique coffee chain among the many to choose from. It gives new meaning to the expression penny wise, pound foolish.

One of the top 3 best coffee joint. Coffee is on the slightly acidic side, but overall has a smooth and rich flavor that puts overburnt SB coffee to shame. Staffs are extremely relaxed and knowledgeable. Feels like there are more caffeine than McDs or SB, so it may not be for the easily-jittered.
