Peerless Coffee & Tea truly lives up to its name. Their whole beans are near perfection—fresh, rich, and full of flavor. Every cup brewed from these beans is consistently delicious, smooth, and balanced, with none of the bitterness you sometimes get elsewhere. You can taste the quality and care that goes into their roasting. If you love coffee, this is as good as it gets.

This place has the best coffee I have ever had and it’s not even close! If you can get a tour of the museum you’re in for a really cool experience too!

Ok, so you may have seen other peoples reviews that mention the burnt coffee taste. It's real. About half the time my coffee does taste burnt. However, the times it doesn't, Peerless might be the best coffee in the Bay. Depth/Nuance & rich coffee flavor.
Also, sometimes my coffee is one price and sometimes it's another. Makes me wonder if I'm getting a friendly discount (I work one parking lot over & been drinking this coffee for 8 years). Either way, generally the coffee here is really good. I've seen people leave outta here with BAGS of beans.
Also most of the staff here is pretty chill, really helpful & kind folks.

I’ve never considered myself a coffee person until I started my current job which at times required me to start the day with a little bit of caffeine. Starting off, my palate for coffee was not at all developed, at first, all coffee tasted the same to me. After years and years of Starbucks coffee, and then having my first cup at Peerless, I could immediately taste the difference. There is depth and richness of flavor and aroma that you will find here at Peerless vs a chain cafe. The quality of the coffee here actually pushed me to buy a coffee maker so that I could buy some beans from peerless to brew my own coffee at home.

WEBSITE REVIEW. I order from the web and have a subscription for only one type of their coffee. It’s amazing but we have ordered other mediums and they’re BURNT AND DARK. Not even close to medium. To add insult to injury- they say u can send it back ON UR OWN DIME for a refund even though we already have to pay for shipping. They don’t reward loyal customers and we spend $100+ per order and we don’t even get free shipping. To make matters worse, I have to email them each time for the UPS tracking bc they don’t add it to the email or ur account. The shipping is slow AF even tho I pay $10 for it. U can literally pack it in a USPS flat rate for a 2-3 day ship for a discounted business rate. After I had to email again for my tracking, I decided to write this and I’m just going to cancel my future orders. It’s the principle of the laziness of this business.
I’m just over this company. After the amount we have spent to support it, they really have a lack of business acumen to show any appreciation to loyal high spenders. We never get a discounted code, free shipping for at least a subscription account that has $100+ and to tell customers to ship back coffee on their own dime is insulting,

Worst coffee I've ever had, their coffee is burnt to charcoal, Its literally oily burnt carbon coffee and they listed it as a medium roast. AVOID this company if you like coffee.

First time trying this local place’s cafe seeing that this brand has something to be distinguished for. It’s nice you can sit outside to hang out and drink but unfortunately the vanilla latte I ordered tasted bitter like over burnt roast. There was nothing smooth about my drink and it was piping hot where it just burned my mouth when I wanted to take a first sip.
I’ve had better coffee from other neighborhood roasters. The staff was friendly and helpful but not sure if I can recommend ordering a drink from here.
We were running low of quality coffee on a trip and finding a 2lb bag of Peerless Coffee on the shelf at a local grocery store in Washington, we looked them up and found they appear to be a legitimate roaster (as I'm reticent to buy anything in a grocery store). We bought their Guatemala roast. I'm very sorry to find out they completely burned this batch (almost black and covered in oil) and dumped it on the market, scamming us basically thinking it was any sort of decent coffee. Obviously something went wrong and they tried to recoup their losses. As a roaster myself, I find this extremely dishonest, not to mention a stupid brand decision. Own up to your mistake and if you ruin a batch of coffee, throw it away. It was truly awful. Notes: burned tires with a side of roadkill
