Peet's Coffee

Walked in today 12/14/25 for 2 Horchata cold brews. What i got was 2 coffees that taste like milk and water. No cinnamon whatsoever. Normally they are on point I don't know what happened today. Wife didn't even bother finishing it.

On a drizzly day, my wife and I enjoyed a coffee date at Peet's Coffee, located in Carlsbad. The lighting was warm with smooth R&B playing in the background. This created an inviting ambience. Many people were enjoying the coffee shop, either working on laptops or talking with friends. Peet's served a delightful bold cup of coffee. The shop was neat and clean. I look forward to another coffee date at Peet's Coffee.

I ordered the $5.10 Americano on a brilliant SoCal morning, and no food because NOTHING is gluten free. My husband’s regular drip was much more satisfying and was actually terrific. My Americano was filled to the rim, watery crap that I threw away after a few sips. Outside is nice but loads of pigeons alongside the musical stylings of Cher and similar. Sigh! Regular drip is good, but that was the only bright spot.

Earlier this week I was in Anaheim and ordered a perfectly delicious turkey chorizo burrito. It was tasty. Hot. Not too much bread. So I ordered it again today in Carlsbad and how disappointing! Too much bread. Too dry. Very little filling. So sad…

When we inquired as to why the Dubai matcha was not very "matcha flavored" he just said "Well, it's just chocolate milk with a bit of matcha flavored foam." So, $8 chocolate milk? Not only unacceptable, but admitting to it was kind of insulting. After stirring it up to blend on the matcha a bit it still just tasted like milk. We asked if more matcha foam could be added and he said, unenthusiastically, 'yeah, give me a minute" then rolled his eyes at his coworker (try and hide your disdain for customers a bit better). Please extend my sincere apologies to the man we inconvenienced. We'll try better next time to just shut up and enjoy our pricey cup of milk.
