Hopefully I'm reviewing the correct Peet's - I had a gift card and never go to peet's coffee but decided to go to this location. I was helped by Bruce and he's the reason why I'm writing this review. He was so incredibly kind and made me feel welcome right away. After I told him my drink order he went out of his way to tell me what is in the coffee to make sure I was okay with everything.
