Like many Peet's outlets, the El Cerrito Peet's attracts a steady stream of customers, and the employees provide fast, friendly service. It offers the standard range of Peet's coffee and espresso drinks and pastries made with high-quality ingredients. It also sells a wide variety of specialty coffee beans and teas in bulk as well as the various implements used to prepare and serve them.

The El Cerrito Peet's, located across San Pablo Ave. from El Cerrito Plaza, sits just 2.2 miles from the original Peet's in North Berkeley, regarded almost as the mother church by devotees of the company's strong, dark-roast coffees.

The first Peet's, at Vine and Walnut, opened April 1, 1966, founded by Dutch-born Alfred Peet, who had been appalled at the poor quality of coffee consumed in America. His store and roasting mastery helped revolutionize America's coffee-drinking habits. When Starbucks started in Seattle, its founders came to Berkeley and studied with Peet to learn roasting and bought their roasted beans from Peet's for the first 18 months of the business.
