Peet's Coffee recently took over 1701 Penn - Caribou Coffee's old store. It's a great location, steps away from my work, and I am happy to say that I will return after my first experience during today's opening.
The service was quick, friendly, and seamless this morning as their crowd of newcomers lined up for a morning cup o' Joe. The store setup is very similar to Caribou's, with a communal table in the center of the room and smaller tables surrounding it. The decor is more modern and simple - no more comfy sofas, but rather wooden chairs and tables.
The coffee selection is somewhat limited, but it rotates on a daily basis. They have different coffees for each type of roast (light, medium, dark) as well as their house blend. Good options for teas, non-coffee drinks, and iced/hot drinks.
I was very pleased with the service - they were very chipper and organized, which is refreshing when I think about the numerous crazy Starbuck's experiences I've had.
They are also doing a $1 off deal when you buy a drink - the deal is valid from 1pm to close. Good way to build a custoemr base!
