Peet's Coffee — Restaurant in San Ramon

Generally a good Peet's location. I've only been here a few times, I usually go to the one over on Bollinger, but next time I want to get work done from a coffee shop I think I'll give this one a go. The one on Bollinger has better outdoor seating though, it's not on the walkway.

My wife went into this San Ramon coffee shop about two o'clock today to buy a pound of coffee to be freshly ground. There was only one person ahead of her in line.

Been going here 18 years and I have seen it all, the highs and the Lowes. The pandemic hit all the businesses in the shopping center. Glad to see things picking up. No we're close to per pandemic but it should come back. The greatest drawbacks to any business are the increase in prices. So, all businesses are going to take a hit.
