Peet’s Coffee & Tea

Of course the coffee is good but no way to toast or warm a croissant? Really? Especially if it’s stale? Too bad.

Nothing against Peet’s. The coffee was good, and the chocolate croissant was acceptable. (probably better warmed up, but this was not offered.)
The real problem for me was the noise level. It was aggressively noisy. Do not come in hoping to get work done. It won’t happen.
But I guess if you feel like being social or chatting with your friends, this is the place to be. But I’ve never found that I want my coffee shop to resemble the atmosphere of a bar.

Delicious decaf cappuccino with a heart on top. Great afternoon treat!

I finally put my trust back in Peets… ordered a decaffeinated drink. So far so good no seizures.
As always, customer service is great, fast and friendly, yet still professional. And i was early enough today to snag a fresh maple scone. Mmmmm

My first time here and was a bit disappointed. I ordered a roasted vegetarian sandwich and asked if they were able to toast/​heat it up and the cashier told me «We actually don’t have an oven.» And when they serve you the coffee your responsible for putting your lid on. It’s not necessarily ideal for the person on the go.

I decided to switch up my usual routine and dropped by Peet’s Coffee today. This is located at «The Shops at La Jolla Village» shopping center near La Jolla Village Drive and the 5 freeway.
I haven’t been to a Peet’s in awhile and decided to ask the worker for advice on what to order, and she was not helpful at all not even one recommendation like a favorite or popular one. no opinion to help me… And just a blank stare. o. O
Sad day, but it’s okay I conjured up my own customization.
Umm. ok so I decided to get an *Almond Milk Vanilla Latte*. I thoroughly did enjoy my pick and the nuttiness from the almond milk complimented the vanilla latte with a little sweetness.
Overall, a decent option for some coffee/​tea. :)~

Usually come here for coffee breaks during my work lunch. There is never really a wait and the staff is friendly. I feel like this would be a good place to study for UCSD students because they don’t have as many customers as Starbucks or the Living Room in downtown La Jolla. Then again, I only come here during the day time. I’m not sure if it’s crowded at night for students.

These guys are top notch baristas. Small shop, but the temperature is usually not cold like other shops and there is usually plenty of seating available. Parking is horrible in this center though, so I recommend being prepared for that and parking closer to the Kinkos than to the Whole foods.

Coming from the Northeast, we have only a few peet’s location (5 around Boston). So it was with a lot of excitement that I hit the La Jolla Peets, nestled next to the whole foods.
It was a marvelous experience and reminded me that we really need to have more Peets locations in Boston.

Love that Peet’s has Almond milk! Their Vanilla, Almond milk latte’ is delicious! The staff is super friendly, nice & helpful! I just wish Peet’s were on every corner because now I am a coffee snob. I can’t go to the local spots for coffee anymore because I have tasted the deliciousness of Peet’s!

In the grand scheme of all things coffee, Peet’s Coffee excels at the art of unique Coffee and Espresso creations. For example, the bane of most people’s existence is the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Ruined by Starbucks years ago (They start selling it in late summer), Peet’s created a version that’s definitely kicked up a notch. I ordered the Iced Pumpkin Spiced Chai Latte. It was pretty damn good, albeit a bit too sweet (I’d ask for less sugar next time). Their drink really gave me the Pumpkin Spice punch that I was looking for.
The interior of Peet’s Coffee has a large open space in the middle of the shop which makes for easy viewing of the menu and ordering. Tables are in the front of the store but they were all taken with internet squatters. The Barista was friendly and accepted my check-​in deal without any issues.
— I actually walked into this place thinking it was «The Coffee Bean».
— There was a Unilocal check-​in deal for a buck off a Pumpkin drink so I got a Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte Iced. Great Iced drink, you just need to ask for it less sweet.
Tip, this shopping center is going through a big razing on the west side. The good news is there’s actual parking available for Peet’s Coffee & Tea now. Enjoy!

I like the location. It is in the mall where there is wholefoods, sprinkle etc. fast and quick service. But not enough seat to sit. Toilet is only one. Need more table and one more toilet to have a relax time.

I had phoned a nearby Starbucks earlier to inquire if they had any freebies in honor of National Coffee Day today, September 29^th. That would be a big ‘NO’.
So, Peet’s Coffee & Tea gets 5 stars right of the bat for honoring this day. Their freebie? A free small cup of Peet’s Major Dickason Blend with any purchase of a baked good, oatmeal or fresh food item. I selected the Cherry Crisp for $ 2.35.
Keeping it up at 5 stars for having the best condiment bar, which was well-​equipped with full stainless steel servers of all their creamers — Half & Half, Soy, Whole, and Non-​Fat Milk. It was was neatly organized and also stocked well
with stirrers, straws, sleeves, various lids, plastic utensils, misc. sugar packets, and cocoa, cinnamon, and regular sugar dispensers. No need to head back to the Pick Up area to request anything from the barista because most likely they already have it readily available to you at the bar. Furthermore, there was enough room on each side of the bar, where patrons didn’t have to compete for space in which to add condiments to their beverages. Why don’t all coffee shops have this same set up?
Minus 1 star for the blonde hair (Mine is dark brown) in my Cherry Crisp and minus another star for the young gal at the cash register with the poor attitude. She must not have had her own cup of coffee yet. I didn’t want her attitude to rub off on me and start my day on a bad note, so I finished up adding Half & Half and raw Turbinado sugar and went on my way.

Even though Starbucks is technically closer to me than Peet’s on my morning commute, I like coming here better. The coffee tastes better and it’s less crowded and frenetic than Starbucks.
Also, these baristas know what to give me and don’t get my order wrong (unlike Starbucks).
Plus, they’re next to CVS and Whole Foods. Can’t beat that!

Whats better than coffee? Off the top of Jason’s noggin, there are plenty of stuff that is better than coffee. That being said, I am unsure how their coffee stacks up to other coffeehouses Am I implying that I did not order a coffee? Nope, that is incorrect. Spice is the variety of life. Fact of the matter is, I have the simplest taste, so I cannot distinguish between Folgers Coffee and a cup o’ Joe brewed with beans from the highest mountain in Rwanda.

Good alternative from that other brew for a buck place with a star in its name. Drinks are taller and less expensive. I like the chicks that rock a gold badge that come in the morning for their jolt of super power before defending La Jolla from its white collar crimes. I’ve read enough reviews saying this place doesn’t have enough seating and slow WiFi. Been coming here all year and there is ample seating. Maybe 3 — 4 people at the most when I come in. Maybe the one’s complaining have bad timing. I like it because its spacious, clean and if you think their WiFi is slow. Maybe order a double shot in your coffee to make your world wiz by faster. It’s a coffee shop kids. If you need to get work done maybe you need an office? Don’t knock the business with 1 or 2 stars based on you not being catered to your high standards. Base it on their coffee because its a coffee shop. Beans are quality, staff go out of their way to be bright eyed and peppy and nice in the morning. They are up before 5 am. 5am they are up, awake and on their game while you are in the middle of your REM cycle. There’s a ton of parking and yes it’s La Jolla there will be BMW’s and an occasional bright yellow Lamborghini and blue and black Maserati (who is that hottie BTW?). Anyhow, hey Peet’s you’re doing a great job. I’m appreciative you are at this location. If you weren’t the people complaining would be picketing and having a rally for a coffee shop here. So keep rocking your beans and Cute cultural designed cups in the finicky world. If any one fusses the lady cops outside got your back :) It’s in an upper class neighborhood and their special promotion product is also a classy cup of Joe. A Black Tie. Even their coffee knows how to dress to impress. Go to Peet’s, check out the tapestry framed on the walls, get cultured by the art design on their cups. Yesterday was my beloved Papua New Guinea and today An ancient ceramic flat stamp motif from Central America. Cute. Smile people you’re alive, in La Jolla and live in America. Here’s a bonus Jonas for you. Check in on Unilocal and get $ 1 off a Milk Chocolate Almond Mocha. They even serve Café Au Lait! Does that other coffee shop offer any of these? Nope! Peet’s does. Drink Peet’s. Save the hate mail sweetheart because I’ve gone to bat for Peet’s. I was a barista way before being a barista was hip and before it was a common word. Cheers!

Upon arriving I ordered my drink immediately and if anyone has ever gotten a macchiato, there’s a distinct 2 layers that someone should see and there was only a pale tan color. Not to be a coffee snob, but macchiato means cream (or any cream/​milk base at the bottom) and then shots of espresso on top. So when the barista stirred them together, I was like,” OH NO!” It wouldn’t of been a problem if the drink actually tasted somewhat decent. There was honestly no coffee flavor at all and at almost $ 5 for a medium sized macchiato, it was very disappointing. Better off going to Whole Foods next door and getting an individual sized Blue Bottle Coffee carton.
Although my coffee lacked, the baristas were super friendly, fast, and efficient, but I absolutely hate the parking situation (typical La Jolla though) and the fact it was tucked all the way in the corner of the shopping center! This location is better suited for grab and go than hanging out.

I like to stop by this Peets after grabbing a few things from Whole Foods because it’s convenient. With that said. I like it for the convenience and that their matcha latte is pretty tasty but this place is always crowded. Yes I know. it’s right next to UCSD so there are always students here. no place to sit to enjoy my coffee, so it’s always to go.
The customer service is just alright because it’s never really consistent. Some days I get a cheerful and charismatic person and other days I get a «what do you want» kind of person.
Meh.

I feel like every coffee shop in La Jolla has crappy wifi, this one included. Although the location is great, a girl can’t get any work done here. And the delicious iced coffees do me no good if my caffeine fueled can-​do attitude is damped by creeping, crawling internet speeds. I’m not a terrible free internet user, nay nay! I buy a drink and or snacks to pay for my usage and don’t stay for an obnoxious amount of time. I tip the baristas, I clean up after myself. Is a wittle bit of speed too much to ask?
It’s comfy enough and the staff, you go Glen CoCo, but I definitely suggest this spot as a grab and go if you’ve got your laptop in tow. It will do you no good to stalk a table and set up your online life.
Coffee, staff and location: Get it Peet’s but my business? Sadly must go in search of chains I can send an email in.

After a good walk I stopped in here to try their medium Chai nonfat latte because it was a $ 1 off with a Unilocal Checkin and simply because I love scones, their dried cherry and almond scone (
).
I was not a big fan of the Chai Latte because it was much sweeter than I would of liked. In fact, I would of preferred not to be sweet at all. Also, it was heavily spiced, so spice is what I tasted. Just to much. On the other hand, the cherry and almond scone was fantastic. It was loaded with flavorful tart dried cherries and crunchy tasty almonds (
). Its texture was just right for a scone, providing the right denseness, crumbly appeal, and moisture level, not to mention its great flavor (
).
Service was actually quite good, and they had a strong WiFi signal, even though there was a slue of patrons using it. Using the laws of averages, giving 2 stars to the Chai Latte, and 4 to the scone, I am settling for 3 stars over all.
To sweet, no good for me…
