Peets Coffee and Tea

About

Peet’s Coffee in Lexington is a coffeebar from the specialty coffee company known for its dark roasts. The menu covers espresso drinks, brewed coffee and tea, plus seasonal and energy drinks and savory bites such as bacon biscuit bites and pretzel sandwiches. The company also roasts limited-release coffees through the year, and its whole-bean coffees, blends and espresso capsules are sold for home brewing, making it a stop for both a cup to go and beans to take home.

Peet’s was founded in Berkeley, California, in 1966 by Alfred Peet, who is widely credited with introducing darker, European-style roasting to American coffee drinkers and influencing the specialty coffee boom that followed. Its local listing sums up the brand as “Coffee for Coffee People.” Popular coffees include its best-selling blends, a half-caf blend and a light roast of Brazilian and Kenyan beans, along with a seasonal Holiday Blend.
