In Short
In the wee hours, the strong smell of Peet's Coffee lures sleepy morning birds for their first caffeine fix of the day. These "Peetniks," the nickname dubbed to loyal customers, can be found reading the paper or chatting amicably while chipper baristas to brew a fresh, quality cup of joe. Originating in Berkeley, California, this coffee shop roasts and ships all 32 of its flavors daily to ensure the freshest beans available. Speciality blends, latte drinks, and iced beverages are all offered, each with the signature taste from their artisan roasting facility. However, coffee is not the only forte that Peet's has to offer; as its moniker incurs, there is an assortment of teas to choose from as well. Delectable baked goods are available to pair with your java, and the coupling just might convince you to join the cult of Peetniks.
