Peet's Coffee

I always enjoy Peet's because they get everything right. The coffee is good (unlike other places where they burn it and serve it too hot). Service goes the extra mile where staff will come out from behind the counter and talk to you and offer help. They are not chained to the drive-up window. Most importantly, for me, the atmosphere is always excellent. Peet's has a lot of space with both tables and comfy chairs. The Downer's location has a wonderful patio outside too. Sipping my drink in the outdoors is always more relaxing to me. The whole space suggests that I should get food/drink and then stay for awhile and talk with a friend. It's a place to gather. That's always a win for me.

Fast service for coffee and friendly. I only order coffee here but it's always quick. They are focused on service which is nice. Better than SB. Very busy usually as well. Not much seating available usually because people camp with their computers and work. So keep that in mind if you want to sit and chat business.

I was in the area and stopped here for coffee. Glad I did because it was delicious. I nice spot to relax or do work!

Overall a good experience. Lots of room to spread out and get some work done with lots of seating. Espresso was great with a hint of sweetness behind it. Paid a little over $3 which is reasonable. Bakery looked enticing to try out. Staff is nice and service is quick. Not a bad coffee shop if you're in downtown Downers Grove!

I don’t typically post reviews but I think that what just happened deserves one. I’m starting to get into coffee and completely forgot to ask for my drink to be iced instead of hot so I went up just to ask for a cup of ice and they were so helpful and instead completely remade my drink for me and were really friendly about it all. Thank you guys!!

Very cozy and relaxing coffee spot. Tasty coffee and wonderful, friendly staff. Spacious and very clean. Wall decorations and lighting fixtures bring some tranquility yet rustic. I enjoyed sipping my coffee with their comfy seats.

A wonderful spot for coffee in downtown Downers Grove. The service is excellent. They have plentiful seating and it's a nice place to chill out

Pretty disappointed to see they were out of the vegan sandwich and about half of the others too. Organize and outside need a very thorough cleaning. Service was nice and pleasant though.

Great spot to have a coffee (and the delicious coffee cake) and a chat. Two weeks in a row I met someone for coffee (10:15 am this week which was nice because easy to get a table). Clean, efficient, and well done. I don't frequent coffee places, but this one has a local feel to it! Well done by the staff

It had been awhile since I had been in, so decided to stop in for some coffee. This location has a decent amount of chairs, but people spread out and it can be cramped. Service was ok. I felt their dark roast was only ok. For a mocha and a black coffee it was about $10.

My first time coming to Peet's Coffee. I came here for the Downer's Grove Christmas Tree Light Ceremony. The line was out the door to get inside this coffee shop. Luckily the line was moving quickly and I didn't have to wait outside in the cold. This location is spacious and have plenty of table areas for you to seat. I placed my order and didn't have to wait a long time for my order. They also have a bakery that is filled with some good looking desserts. But I opt out of ordering dessert. Instead I ordered a hot chocolate to keep myself warm. This seems like a nice neighborhood coffee shop to come and grab a cup of coffee with friends.

Nice location in the heart of downtown Downers Grove - right across from the Metra station. Peet's has plenty of seating but can be often busy. staff is always friendly and quick

A pretty large Peets location with plenty of tables. The interior was clean and looked relatively new. Pleasant experience with staff as well. The coffee is solid and usually go with the Iced Latte. This time I tried the Horchata Cold Brew Oat Latte and it wasn't bad, a little too sweet for me.

Solid spot for a cup of coffee. It's always busy, so service time can take a while. Pro tip: download the app and order online in advance to skip the long lines!

One of my favorite places in Downers Grove! I love the drink options! I also think this is the perfect place to do work or spend a morning! So many tables and areas to sit! The perfect music!! Reminds me of an early 90's coffee shop! They do it right!!!

FIRST TIME HERE Peet's Coffee Naperville IL Location My first time here and I ordered a pumpkin spice latte with a waffle and chicken sandwich. The employee didn't ask if I wanted to sit in or order for to-go but I would've appreciate if they did. They had to remake my order because everything was wrong. I wanted the pumpkin spice latte was for there and tasted like a Regular latte without the Pumpkin Spice. The chicken and waffles had a mixture of a stale hard exterior and a soggy side. Hopefully the Second visit would be better. - Serious Yelp Reviewer, Sophia Nguyen

im a big fan of peets. 99/100 times they are very consistent with their coffee. a very solid latte and wide variety of drinks to choose from. the savory bakery items ive tried have always been great,, i like the crispy ham&swiss a lot. vegetarian options not bad 2. and i believe they stopped upcharging for non-dairy milks...yay peets!!!

Mike and his team are always welcoming and kind, they always greet me by name and share friendly stories from their week. Mike must be great at hiring because literally everyone who works here is speedy, kind and genuinely seems to like their job. I love being a regular at this Peet's!

If this place has more than 3 people in line when you enter, turn around and walk out. I'd been a regular customer for years- today I entered, ordered a simple coffee frappe and sandwich, rec'd sandwich within few min, waited more than 20min & simply asked the skinny crabby brown haired caucasian barista woman (working at 1030am today Sunday, avoid her if at all possible!) feebly/poorly making/sloshing around drinks how long it might be since everyone everyone in front of me had received their drinks as well as several behind me- chick had a TON of attitude & couldn't even check, snarled Yah we're really busy -- welcome to the real world of work? I told her I was simply asking & she started slamming cups around (??!) and got a very pissed look on her mug. I asked to speak to manager who was totally flustered, of ZERO help. I subsequently heard the aforementioned female jerk snarl at another customer! I'm sorry this isn't rocket science, is it really so hard to find good people nowadays??! Hire decent people who know how to oh I don't know talk to other human beings! Train them! Survey them to ensure they're upholding Peet's standards. And if they're not, remediate them- & if they continue to suck, fire them!!! Please escalate to higher management!

Stopped in to take a poopsie, had to order a food so I got the buttered croissant. It appears someone had one too many espresso shots and obliterated the toilet leaving skidies everywhere. Buttered croissant 7.6/10

The owner, whom I presume he is, is an a-hole. For some reason this place seems to be more popular than the Starbucks across the street, despite the name recognition. They do have more seating, which could be a factor. The Starbucks is not as friendly as they used to be either, particularly after changing their "open door" policy, but still better. I also wrote a review for that coffee shop, which you can read.

I was over there about 2 weeks and the lady told me that I need to be lowering my kindness to others. Who does she think she is like telling me what to say and what not to say to others. I'm never coming here again. Some of the staff was nice. This one girl needs to realize that you don't tell anybody how to be nice to others.

Had a tea from here was very nice and enjoyable. Service was quick and nice. Ambiance is great chill area vibe next to the train station.

Solid coffee. Came here on a Saturday around noon. Needed a quick jolt. Service was somewhat slow because the employees were preoccupied; however, once I ordered, I was promptly served. The coffee was piping hot and tasty.

While I haven't eaten here I have had delivery from them many times. My order has always been correct and well packaged. This morning I had the Blueberry lemon muffin and a cafe latte. The coffee latte is steamed milk, two shots of espresso, and a layer of foam. They have a variety of syrups, and toppings as well as a choice of sweeteners to add to your drink, as well as several milk options. I went with non fat milk, sugar free vanilla syrup, Sucralose sweetener, and cinnamon for a topping. The coffee was warm, somewhat sweet but not overly, and had an overall enjoyable flavor. A really good cup of coffee. With the muffin, they can warm it up for you which is always nice. The muffin had a crunchy and sweet top, and a soft and fluffy inside and bottom. The blueberries were large and plentiful. It was a really good muffin, and a great special treat. The prices for the quality are very reasonable. I recommend them.

Pleasant enough service but SLOW. Took almost 25 minutes for a lukewarm coffee. At these prices you're better off hitting the Starbucks across the street or a nearby Dunkin.

Dirty cup and bad really bad matcha Tastes like oats And super foamy , I ordered with oat milk and I understand it's gonna taste like oats but not the whole drink !!! Seems like steamed oat milk with lots of foam , since I work in coffee shop as well I know how real matcha should taste , I've tried so many matchas this is the worst one ! -10 out of 10

I'm so incredibly happy that Peet's has jumped in the plant based train!! I now drive 6.5 miles out of my way, at least 3 times a week to get my coffee and plant based breakfast sandwich from here. The sandwich IS AMAZING!!!!! Job well done, it's not easy getting plant based alternatives right, but you did it! I've had several of my non-plant based co-workers try it, and they all agreed it tastes like the real deal. Also, since oat milk has become "trendy".. I find that competitors run out of it more often than not. Not Pete's, it at-least this location. They have my order every time, they never have made a mistake and they're so friendly. Thanks for being open minded to different consumption preferences.

GREAT drinks and pastries . Love the Black Tie and waffle sandwiches. And of course. Fantastic study spot.

Peet's does it again! Fabulous staff & customer service I appreciate the warm greeting when walking in. Peet's brings me joy!! Keep it coming!

I'll begin by stating that I go to Peet's quite often whenever I see it and the line is short. I have always gotten the Black Tie, because it is truly unique and delicious as a drink. So when I walked into the shop, I saw that they had a coconut option so I ordered the Coconut Black Tie, it added an extra sweetness to the drink that usually would not be there. (Plus when you check in via Yelp! you get $1.00 off of your drink order if it is one of their drinks that include coconut). The staff was friendly and service was fast despite the line that was behind me and in front of me beforehand. I got my coffee within 2 minutes after ordering which was nice, quicker than Starbucks that's for sure. The ambiance of Peet's is pretty laid back, you can see people in there with their laptops doing school work or seeing old friends catching up with one another over some coffee. I intend to go back to this location for their fast service.

It's worth visiting quick excellent service and the aromatic smells of coffees (amazing) I've had the iced matcha latte so creamy just perfection. Also had a breakfast sandwich with beyond breakfast sausage wonderful and tasty. The only negative is it gets really crowded my idea to beat the crowds go really early for breakfast. Great Place!

This place is a fantastic study spot, not only because they have coffee and tea, but the staff and the patrons make it friendly and comfortable. The location is fantastic; right on the corner of Downers Grove Main Street. I appreciate how it contributes to making our downtown a nice place! The people here welcome you. Tonight they have a live pianist here playing some original tunes. The songs are interesting, relaxing, and inviting. It's loud enough to hear from across the room, but not so loud that it's annoying and you can't hear yourself think. A small crowd is gathered around him listening, and in between songs he will give a short explanation of the music he is about to play: how he composed the rhythms and the fluctuations in keys. Another good thing I noticed Pete's doing is collecting school supplies for families in the Downers Grove district 58. One of the employees set it up in conjunction with citywave.org. They've got a neat 5 foot tall sign (designed by someone with marketing skills I could only hope for), and a box with colored pencils, binders, a lunch box, etc. that people have donated. It's set up right next to the coffee bean bins. Obviously, Pete's wouldn't have a successful chain if it did not have great coffee and tea. I'm getting a fancy, spicy, black tea - the Masala Chai. If you're looking for a chill place in the west Burbs, now you know where to go.

Coffee and snacks are sub-par, but management is awful. I was in the middle of ordering my drink when I was interrupted by the manager asking if I had a mask. I responded with no, and I was told to get one at the front. I asked if I could finish paying for my order and was told 'no'. At this point I should've walked out. I asked if they knew that I would be removing the mask once I get the drink 30 seconds later. Funny enough, during this very conversation, all the customers who already ordered did not have a mask on. It's a confusing concept. I guess covid can't get ya if you have a coffee in hand? I'd recommend going to a local coffee shop that has common sense rather than Peets.

My fiancé and I went in to Peet's Coffee to use the restroom. They had a keypad on their restroom doors so he went to ask the girl at the counter for the code. The first thing out of her mouth was "Are you guys going to order something after?" Implying only paying customers are allowed to use their restrooms. He said yes so she gave him the code. I noticed the bathroom signs indicate they are unisex now and there was also a large rainbow flag painted on the window. Both of these things indicate the company cares about human rights and treating people equally. Ironic. Ps. The bathroom code is 0310*

I love Pete's! Amazing coffee and setting. I enjoy coming to this place to get homework done. There's plenty of space to set up my laptop and books. It's surrounded by window so you can get that nice natural light. Very cozy. The staff is great! They had a bit of a rush and they were very efficient. The barista making the coffee asked what I would be ordering before I even got to the register to order! That blew my mind! Bathrooms where nice and clean always stocked. It's great for homework, great for meeting up with friends. I've had a couple of study groups meet there too. They have a big table in the back that's good for groups. There's also little trinkets like coffee mugs and what nots that make a nice gift for my coffee lover friends. Thank you Pete's Coffee!

I stopped in for a tea in the evening and appreciated the customer service provided by the very friendly and welcoming barista Ashley. My drink was prepared correctly and quickly. I was greeted warmly upon arrival as well as wished a happy evening when I departed. The space is really large and nicely spread out so there is plenty of room to sit & chat or maybe get a bit of work done. It was about half full but surprisingly wasn't noisy so there must be good acoustics. I got my tea to go but it seems like a nice, quiet, tidy place to chill on a Monday night.

So they were really friendly I am from the Bay Area and I accidentally order my coffee over there and they gladly did my order there for no charge

Stumbled upon this place because La Fortuna was closed even though their hours differed, but luckily things happen for a reason. This place is located right across from the train station in a beautiful town. The decor - lovely, reminds me of a train station. The people were nice and answered any questions I had. Not to mention if you check in on Yelp you get $1 off any coconut drinks. We ordered an iced coconut black tie and a hot vanilla latte. The coconut black tie is oh my goodness so good!! I usually do not like coconut (or maybe I'm starting to like it) but this drink has a nice, subtle, bright coconut flavor and sweetened just right. The vanilla latte was good as well. Recommend trying those coconut drinks, and probably will be back later this week for a quick pick me up!

The ambiance is nice for what it is. Ample spots to sit and plug in, or red. The staff is friendly and helpful and the menu selection is perfect.

Real good. It's essentially a Starbucks but they have some nice variety. Workers were attentive and welcoming. All drinks were well made and a perfect temperature.

New, clean, spacious coffee shop on the corner near the DG train station. One corner down is Starbucks so you have your choice of study spots/coffee shop to hit up. Peet's has a lot of tables and chairs for you to sit and study. The baristas are very knowledgable in the drinks. I ordered a medium matcha tea latte and opted for vanilla instead of simple syrup and it was delicious. The barista recommended to try peppermint next time if I want to try something dangerous haha. I will definitely come back here to study or have a casual first date! Easy parking around the neighborhood. Two hour free street parking and parking garage not too far away. Lots of outside lighting but at night, they have brightly lit lights, too. One small complaint is the music is a tad loud.

Two thumbs up for Peet's maple latte! Their cinnamon hazelnut latte and chocolate dipped macaroons make it to the top of the list too. There are plenty of tables (outlets included) for you to either get loads of work done, or converse with your pals from Midwestern, which is minutes away. The baristas are incredibly friendly and know how to make just about any drink, even if it may not be on the menu. My only concern is that I always seem to have a problem with the wifi connection there. Could just be my computer. Nonetheless, my coffee buzz keeps me sane. Go there!

The best coffee shop in the area. I recommend for both excellent quality coffee beans to take home and the excellent selection of the in house prepared beverages. Friendly staff knows their craft from pour overs to French Press or a well made Havana Cappuccino I wish I was there now.

Coffee is incredible! My boyfriend's sister brought me here, we both got iced vanilla lattes. 10/10. I'm visiting from Seattle, where we apparently have this coffee joint too. Now that I know how great it is, i'm going to ge it whenever I can back home!

I am usually loyal to Starbucks but this Peets location is amazing! Very friendly staff. Delicious coffee. I always love to go there and work or meet a friend for coffrr.

What can I say? Delicious coffee. Cute and quaint place. Creative and unique on the inside. Plenty of seating. Friendly staff that likes their job and has fun. If I could go everyday I would. I'm in loooovvveee with their coffee. Mmmmm sooooo good! I get the White Chocolate Caramel with Hazelnut latte and it never disappoints. I recommend this place to everyone!!!!!

The staff here is amazing. The drinks here are delicious. The WIFI here is lacking. 5 star review just waiting to happen if they can fix the Internet situation!

Nice people, nice place. My son lives the brownie they have, I hope they will bring the parfait back.

One of the best places in Downers Grove to grab coffee. The vibe is great and the coffee is delicious. There is plenty of seating even for small groups. The location is right next to the tracks so you can grab a cup of coffee right before boarding the train. I've been here over a dozen times and the service is always spectacular. The barista's really know their coffee and are always nice.

I love our local coffee shop! They are always so friendly and the mocha is delicious. I'm the town coordinator for a local kids race and so excited to have them sponsoring our races. They are more than a coffee shop they are part of the community and I'm so thankful for Mike and his willingness to support our non profit.

I've been wanting to try out Peet's Coffee for a few months now. I have to admit, I loved Caribou and was a little upset when they started closing up shop. But I don't head to coffee shops very often, so it's not a huge blow. This Peet's is very clean and modern on the inside. There is plenty of seating with small, intimate tables as well as large tables that will fit 6-8 people. There are some healthy pre-packaged snacks like a cheese plate and hummus with carrot sticks ready to go in the fridge unit near the cashier. There is also an array of baked goods like cookies and croissants that were calling myname. The drink menu isn't HUGE but it has everything a coffee shop is supposed to have. And they have regular names for drinks, not the made up names that Startbucks has. I've been here twice in two days and I'm a fan. Yesterday I hopped in quickly to warm up from the cold while walking around doing some shopping at Anderson's Bookstore. I decided to get my standing favorite, a Cafe Au Lait. This usually isn't on the menu - and it wasn't - but the barista knew what it was and it was ready within a minute for me. Delicious, hot and exactly what I ordered. Today I headed back in specifically because yesterday I had earned a check-in offer that I didn't redeem. It was for $1 off a Maple flavored drink. So I ordered a Maple Latte and got a chocolate croissant. The latte was made with care and it was presented beautifully with a swirl design on top. I had my infant daughter with me in the stroller so I only had one hand to handle the coffee, since they give you the cup steaming and with no lid, you have to walk about 15 feet away to the cream/lid station. Needless to say my coffee spilled prior to making it over to where the lids were. I wish the baristas would offer people with their hands full to put the lid on for them. I didn't sit to drink/eat as I had the little one with me, so I headed home. I will remind you NOT to eat a flaky croissant in the car lest you get flakes and crumbs everywhere - looks like I'll be vacuuming the car tonight! I would highly recommend the Maple Latte as well; it's not too sweet and has a smooth finish. For the stroller tolling parents, this location is perfect for a stroller inside as long as it's not crowded. I was able to maneuver the full-sized stroller no problem in here. I will definitely be back!!!

I'd been meaning to try it and finally did. Peet's coffee is good! The espresso for sure tastes more fresh than Starbucks although the latte menu options don't seem to have the amount of variety Starbucks has. I visited this location on Thanksgiving Day around midday. I had a bogo e-coupon and I ordered myself a large hot soy salted caramel latte with extra whip. My drink was delicious and I was impressed by the flavors - although the salty savory part was too much for me by the time I reached the bottom of the cup. If I ordered this again I would say no to the sea salt sprinkled on top. I'm used to Starbucks mega sugar loaded drinks so the sea salt part wasn't my favorite here but the caramel and espresso were so smooth. If I had the choice between Starbucks (same street/north the Metra Main Street tracks) and Peet's...I would probably head to Lemon Tree closer to the DG Post Office assuming this was a to go drink. Although I liked Peet's I'd rather visit this location when I could take a seat and enjoy my drink on site. I wasn't a fan of the coffee accessories table location from drink pick up area. To get a lid and cardboard sleeve for my to the brim extra whip drink, I had to carry the drink to another station and stir. I'd prefer if the baristas had lided the drink themselves - maybe the extra whip was why they didn't? I was impressed with the drink creation process as Peet's poured the espresso and then the steamed milk right in front of face. It gave off a handcrafted impression and the baristas were friendly. Overall, this location seems to cater to dine in drinkers. This used to be a Caribou Coffee location and seemed to retain the cozy relax with a hot drink environment. I would love to come back when I can stay a while!

Not the place to go if you have a train to catch. My hubs and I got to Petes with plenty of time to order coffee and make our 8 AM train. But that was not in the cards this morning. This barista is literally the slowest person I've ever encounted. She slowly poured the milk in the customer before me's cup as MY TRAIN WAS PULLING IN THE STATION. Then looked up to figure out the next drink. Maybe the coffee is wonderful and aritsinal but I wouldn't know because I raced out the door before the lady even started making my drink and ran for my train so that I could get to my adult job on time. Give me a break. I will never go back.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Downer Grove. Decent price and a cozy environment. My friend and I we got the Maple Latte and the Matcha Green Tea Latte. The Green Tea was aight, however, I strongly recommend the Maple Latte.

Good coffee shop in the heart of downers grove. The sitting area is quite nice with tons of places to plug in and do your work. I like their coffee and also the abundance of products they sell at the store. There is a quick parking spot by the store for in and out service.

This is a follow up to a previous review. The staff has always been great, but they've gotten even better. They have improved their Internet speed, which was my biggest complaint. All in all, one of the best coffee spots around.
