Peet's Coffee - Alameda

I asked for todays special brewed coffee (3:50 pm) and the barista said if I could wait 5 minutes, she was making a fresh pot. I waited, and am glad I did; delicious. Maximum of 10 people allowed inside to order, at a time. I was the third, as someone was just leaving. Four tables, seating two to a table, were a available outside with a 30 minute occupancy limit.

This place is very welcoming. The barista was friendly and diligent, as was the woman at the register. Good feeling in there. I love the breakfast burritos.

I love their beans, since trying them i stopped buying Starbucks. All their employees are really nice and friendly. Also the pastries are really good, I love their banana walnut bread.

This Pete's in particular is not just a coffee shop. Grab a cuppa, a morning bun and sit for a few and see that this Pete's is embraced by it's neighborhood. Sunday mornings are pre little legue Coach's meetings and talk of weather amongst weekend ocean swimmers. Sprinkled in are quick pop ins, dressed for church, grabbing the choirs' mobile order all ready boxed. Breathe that in and warm your soul. This Pete's has the quintessence of life.

Very nice ambience and friendly staff. Little hard to find parking though
