It's your average coffee shop. Think of it like a different flavor of Starbucks. There's decent room to get settled with your Hipster attire and write your fake novel that's decidedly terrible. I had a dirty chai latte and must admit it wasn't as flavorful as Big Dog.
Bottom line- Big Dog is a stone's throw away and has more flavorful drinks for the same price and a nicer atmosphere. You can also bring your dog and the baristas will get to know you. And it isn't a faceless corporation. I won't be coming back to Peet's because of the competition.
