“llego de Guadalajara México y lo primero es buscar mi café, riquísimo me llevo a guadalajara 6 bolsas ya que me encuentro de vacaciones 🌷“

“First of all, they had egg nog lattes over the holidays!! It’s my favorite drink but was hard to find a good one last season. They have a great variety of drinks and are fast and friendly and easy to get into and out of. It’s my favorite coffee stop! ♥️“

“$1 drip coffee and the best iced mocha on the west coast! 😎“

“Several times a week I enjoy Peet’s coffee with a friend after our morning walk. When we enter the store Renee is usually at the counter flashing her beautiful, welcoming smile! She is always gracious and upbeat while providing outstanding service! She is a gem.“

“Drive-thru line was crazy long, but the super friendly staff were quick and efficient to have everyone through in no time, and our coffee was good! �“

“Great food atmosphere great staff“

“Great customer service! Food is good and plentiful! Nice atmosphere!“

“There's one specific employee that works here, always wears a sparkly mask, and they are absolutely wonderful. I know my drink will always be made perfect whenever they are working. I sincerely appreciate your consistency and kindness. I used to come by every morning on my way into work but my drink began being made different and wasn't consitent. Either the cinnamon cold foam wasn't added at all or it was made wrong, and way too sweet/different taste. I could have gone back in and said something multiple times but I was always in a rush to get to work so I never did.My drink of choice: iced oatmilk latte with extra cinnamon powder & cinnamon cold foam.“

“Clean and merchandised well. Friendly, experienced, and welcoming staff. Parking can be slow going but for good reason. Park off to the side and walk up is recommended during busy times. One of the best locations I've visited. Keep up the great work team!“

“Food is delicious! We had the beet salad, blt sandwich, mushroom turnover, red lentil soup, lavender coffee, Arnold Palmer lemonade and the carrot cake WTH the yummiest frosting and the pb&j granola bar!
Would highly recommend eating here! You won’t be disappointed! 😊“

“As a professional barista, I have a higher standard for coffee than most and will refuse to drink from most commercial roasters. Acre coffee is one of the best experiences I've had in a coffee shop yet. Legitimately good coffee, friendly faces, great atmosphere and an eagerness to bring you back in. 9/10. When coffee is this good, a long line can bring a wait time but the coffee, food and pastries are still well worth it“

“Great coffee great service most of the time. People working there need to learn to communicate and let customers know when they are backed up so when they make an order, they understand how long it will take instead of letting them know after the fact.“

“I went Friday afternoon/evening and it was not busy at all. The barista who helped me was quiet but dedicated and focused.

I thought I’d give the matcha lavender another go and it was AMAZING!

At a different location, they didn’t make it right, but here they knew to leave a quarter cup left fir the cream to melt w the matcha.

I do not know the baristas gender, but hats 🎩 off to you! I have had so many bad Starbucks experiences for a while and I have not had service and attentive focus to my drink in years.

I don’t care if they only know one drink well,I felt taken care of without asking and that is service you cannot get anywhere nowadays.

I will definitely come back. To the manager: please promote this person or train all of your staff to embody this experience.

I’ve been in customer service for over 15 years and I am so grateful 🥹 to have someone care.

Thank you 💕“

“Neil not only makes a really great coffee beverage he is super consistent and it's always great! Not every coffeehouse makes a consistent cup. I have to be really careful with added sugars and Devine Mother Tea and Coffee makes the best Sugar Free Vanilla latte around. For your next cup go find the little Divine Mother Tea and Coffee booth!“

“I have terrible time management. I also LOVE lemon loaves. So today when I was rushing to get to work on time and I asked one of the ladies if she could help me get going faster she told me it would only be a sec, and got to work right away on my drink so I could make it on time. I REALLY appreciate her and the rest of the team who had so much going on this morning and still being able to help me get in and out. When I find out her name I will update and I will definitely be back, probably running late, again tomorrow.“

“Healthy & freshly pressed juices, cold brew/nitro coffee, nut mylks & Super power elixirs!!“

“This is only one of three in Petaluma that has socially separated outdoor seating and open restrooms. And this one has the drive thru so it is tops as far as Starbucks go. I really cannot believe those that have closed their restrooms and their outdoor seating. Regressive as far as I am concerned.And needless to say we do not go to those anymore.“

“We stopped in to grab some lunch and cheese curds. The cheese selection is great! And loved the five options to sample.
The sandwich was huge! And lots of meat and cheese. Really tasty! The girl working could not be less interested in being there. But she did make great sandwiches.“

“We stopped in to charge our car and decided to grab a quick bite while we were there. Found this little cafe and ordered an off the menu custom salad. They were great at making it happen! They're just really good people and we'll be charging our car their on our road trips moving forward so we can grab a coffee and some food before we head back out. BONUS: It's in a shopping outlet so, yeah. ?“
