Known as the “grandfather of specialty coffee,” Peet’s Coffee & Tea has been a Berkeley institution since we started more than four decades ago.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Peet’s Coffee & Tea was a pioneer among other food purveyors in Berkeley’s “gourmet ghetto” – a collection of European style shops and restaurants that later included the Cheese Board and Chez Panisse – whose emphasis on artisan, fresh foods spawned an American revolution.
