My boyfriend and I live right next to the Starbucks at Fairmont but have stopped going to Starbucks due to us boycotting them. My boyfriend and I work at specialty coffee shops where we make a lot of espresso focused drinks; because of this we mostly buy frappes or drip coffee whenever we need a fix. The frappes here are better than their competitors, tasting more like coffee than just sugar which we enjoy. It's a great post lunch dessert we get for ourselves as we read or do work together. I got a caramel latte macchiato, and we were both pleasantly surprised by the tree! It was very sweet to get, made by a taller guy with slightly shaggy straight hair.
What really makes it are the staff here. There is a community of people that exists of regulars that come in. The staff are respectful and none judgmental of our orders (which, is really nice since I know our drinks are harder to make). They remember us and they're all usually very sweet and helpful.

Read moreI don't give 5's easily. Hands down best location I've been to. THE SERVICE IS THE BEST! Not 1 bad employee. Seriously all have gone out their way with the stress of Covid to be super helpful. I just moved to the area have an espresso machine at home but choose to come twice a week strictly because they are so great. I promise to start getting names and hope to call corporate. These guys deserve some huge kudos. 1 example is I have an older phone my app won't update to include alternative milk one employee redid my drink free and gave the other one away to my coworker tjna another employee went out his way to help see why my app wouldn't update to their newest menu. It was Saturday morning they were slammed. AND DID IT WITH THE BIGGEST SMILES and enthusiasm. You just don't get that anymore....
Read moreWe are the Daly City Dolphins swim club, we placed a bulk order for our home meet the mid of Dec 2024. The manager Blanco, Jennifer, and another lady(i believe she is the superviser, sorry I forgot your name) helped me with my order. They were all very kind, polite and helpful !! They gave good suggestions of how much coffee I should get and arrange an easy pick up for us. They care about their coffee quality. They want to keep the coffee hot when serving, they reminded me about half half cream and oatmilk choices. I want to let them know how much we DCD appreciated them! Im glad that our Daly City community has this Peets coffee around...
