Peet's Coffee

The food is exactly what you would expect. Okay bakery items, decent toasterwave stuff. The staff are helpful, the shop is full of older guys in the morning and people taking meetings after 9am.

Nice location in downtown Orinda. It's well visited by cycling groups on the weekend. Service was quick for a plain coffee despite it being busy.

Cool stop on a hot day, and Peet's has the best cappuccino around. I like the small, which at Peet's always has 2 shots. The medium has more milk but still 2 shots. You have to add a shot to end up with the same ratio of espresso to milk. If it's a 3-shot day but you like more milk, go with the large. It has 3 shots and lots of milk. The ice drinks here are amazing, too.

It took them 14 minutes to get me a Cappuccino that was more like a latte. However, if you order online, and pickup, I can see that's where the business is really focused. At least 6 people walked in and walked out with their orders before the 6 of us waiting around for our orders were served. The people working there were really nice, though. You could tell they were happy to be there.
