Peet's Coffee

I like this location just everything tasted off when I went.

Not my favorite among the big coffee chains, but staff and ample seating make up for it at this particular cafe. Pre-pandemic, this Peet's was THE spot in downtown San Carlos in the mornings. They had a lot of indoor seating, plus an outdoor patio with 4-5 tables, and it would be mostly full through lunch time. Now only the outdoor patio is open, though it seems that more indoor seating will slowly be coming back. Staff has always been extremely friendly and professional, and the WiFi is good. One complaint: They need to turn down the AC in the summer - you need a jacket to sit inside on any warm day.

Visited the area 2 months ago and was helped out by a lovely barista named Denise. Shes very amicable/helpful, and addressed all of my concerns. Drink was delicious!

Helpful friendly staff. Well organized. Lovely outdoor space to sip your coffee, read the paper or visit with friends.

Great place to meet people over a coffee.

As good as always!
Bring a little patience for the parking in this neighborhood..

I am an international visitor who went here with a friend. There was no display of cup size & the girl at the counter spoke very fast. I was forced to ask her to repeat herself a couple of times. I wanted a flat white & it took time for her to understand what I wanted. I asked for a very hot coffee which I did not get. I had to take it back. The coffee had a satisfying taste & the cinnamon roll my friend had & brownie I enjoyed were good accompaniments.

Lovely little shop, friendly staff, great coffee! Lots of seating options with some larger tables for meeting up to 10 people. Outlets were next to seating, and wifi was fast. Two clean restrooms.

Ive been going to this Peet’s the past 5 years and their service has always been so professional, respectful and attentive!

With Covid going on I cannot express how much I appreciate this Peet’s! I order my coffee at the same time everyday (6:45am) and it’s ready in minutes via Peet’s Mobile App! I work at the animal hospital around the corner so espresso shots are essential to me otherwise I cannot function!

Needless to say, having my coffee is important to me, strong good coffee which means Peet’s is important to me which means the workers deserve appreciation!

I try to leave great tips for them all because I know their work is just as hard and complex as everyone else’s

Thanks Peets!! See you Monday!

The San Carlos Peet's is like the neighborhood living room -- lots of regulars, great place to sit and chat over good coffee. The staff is friendly and responsive and do their best to keep the line moving (it sometimes goes out the door). Dairy-free people will be happy to know there is almond and coconut milk. If only there were more than one decaf variety of coffee (and if they only served it all day!). They recently updated their two bathrooms to make them gender neutral and they're always clean, but there aren't any baby changing tables.
