We used to think we could only enjoy the finest coffees in Europe. But we've enjoyed Peets coffees now for many years and wouldn't be without them. Wherever we've lived, Colorado, New Mexico, California and now Washington, we've either ordered online or bought it locally. Whatever it takes to get Peets!

You will be sorely missed, Mr. Peet. I can just imagine the fantastic blends you and Key Dickason are working on together in heaven - can't wait to try them someday!

Thank you Mr. Peet. Your dream provided the fuel for many mornings and rainy afternoons to my friends and me in Berkeley when I was a boy long, long ago. The hard work and energy that you showed in that first little store was instructive to all of us. May God bless and keep you.

Alfred Peet I love your coffee. If it wasn't for you and your stores I would not have had a place to take my first 'punk rock' girlfriend and have a wonderful cup of coffee which sparked a much beloved relationship. Thank you for the great coffee!
