A big local favorite it is always bustling. There is a nice tree outside so people can sit outside with some shade, and there are ALWAYS folks sitting outside, people watching, chatting. This location was renovated in the last few years so it has warm food, mobile pick-up, and a bit of a facelift. Has some tables and chairs inside as well but it's not a huge location.

Their decaf is strong and flavorful!!!

Sorry, this Peet's has become a hard pass for me. If you order anything other than black coffee or an americano skip this spot. I used to order cappuccinos ages ago, but they never steamed the milk right. I've recently only ordered lattes with alternative milk, which they over steam. If they didn't steam enough milk, they then top off with any kind of milk on hand. It's just foul. Not to mention the prices. This is when they aren't that busy, so i can't imagine what it is like when they are. There are many places that care about producing a good cup. This ain't it.

Judging by other comments I am not the only one to notice the poor service at Peets on Solano. I had to wait unacknowledged while two employees talked instead of asking me what I wanted to order. After I got my coffee I sat and watched customer after customer come in. Not one was greeted with a smile of welcome. The girl behind the counter looked unhappy if not sullen to be working there. As far as tips...forget it. If Peets can't find people who are friendly rather than rude I will go to Starbucks even though I dislike the way they treat their employees and their products aren't up to Peets. I believe this is a problem with this particular shop. Management should check out the situation.

Dirty smelly trash out all day. Dirty side walk and tables.

Good coffee when it’s made right, which is only 50% of the time. The last couple times I’ve been here they’ve given me watery drinks or forgot to add the sweetener. They redo your drink if you ask but I’m not about to ask for a redo every single time.

Don't know what's happening to Peet's these days. Service is SO INCONSISTENT. From trainees who are not being trained (& embarrassing themselves in their ineptitude) to foam that isn't foam (trainee baristas too?!) I'm being disappointed for past 3 months now. Get your act together, please. Many of us depend on you. Or I'll look elsewhere- Signal? Highwire?
The place is clean and busy for the late morning. Like most Peets, they cannot correctly concoct a dark chocolate mocha to specifications. Who do I need to contact about this?

The worst peet's I've been to.Terribly slow. The cinnamon roll I got tasted like a biscuit left in the desert for a week. I didn't know something could be made that dry.

I like to come here to patronize the local coffee store chain, buy a latte or some coffee beans. Always friendly service.

I liked the staff here and the line was not long. It's a good place to get tea.
