Did you know!

For all my Coffee LOVERS OUT THERE


Being a Bay Area native i understand the significance of small mom and pop restaurants. For example Peets Cofee & Tea ...Well for those who felt the same way I did about the difference from Peets and Starbucks guess what?


THERE NOT SO DIFFERENT... well at least in the beginning.

Turns out the founder of Peets, Alfred Peet started Peets in the late 60's in the heart of the liberal city of non-other then Berkeley. Good friends of his loved the idea and decided to start their own in non-other then Seattle, Washington called... you guessed it STARBUCKS. For the first few years Peets Coffee & Tea transported coffee from Peets in Northern California to Starbucks in Seattle, Washington. Is it funny that Starbucks is now all over the WORLD and Peets Coffee & Tea is fairly popular on the west coast. Yet, when you walk in to Peets you feel as though each one is unique to that community. Obviously I am a little Bias so I'm sure you can guess which one I'm a fan of.

Check out the video and hear what people have to say about both coffee houses.



So which one is better Starbucks or Peets?? Me personally I like the non franchise feeling you get when you walking into Peets!

some more history on Alfred Peet.

this makes me want some now... gotta RUN!
