Company Profile

Company Overview

Since 1966, when Alfred Peet opened the first Peet's store in Berkeley, our goal has been to offer the best coffees & teas in the world, without compromise. We believe that meticulous selectivity, artisan roasting, and our commitment to freshness make the difference you can taste. Known as the "grandfather of specialty coffee," Peet's Coffee & Tea has been a Berkeley institution since opening its doors more than forty years 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. Today, traditional values are maintained to create coffees of distinction and we’re working to make these coffees even more accessible to a broader audience of coffee lovers.

Peet’s has grown to nearly $250MM in sales. Peet’s is sold in multiple channels: 190+ retail store locations in six states, National Home Delivery Service, select Office Coffee and Food Service programs and is expanding rapidly in Grocery across the U.S. Currently, Peet’s is available in 8,500+ grocery stores across many states.
