"They recently changed their hours, so now they only stay open until 8 PM. This is quite strange, especially since it's summer, the movie theater in El Paseo is much busier following the closure of the AMC theater in Vallco, and it’s not even dark yet at that time. I really think they’re missing out on a lot of potential business. Additionally, they've added a code to the bathroom door, which makes me wonder if they were having issues with non-customers using it previously. It’s hard to say. What I do know is that during my brief visit, everyone who was given the code had difficulty opening the door because it included a special character at the end of a long string of numbers that nobody could remember. On a brighter note, they serve delicious coffee and pastries, and the staff is both knowledgeable and friendly. The strawberry pop tart had a lovely pastry crust that seemed to have been brushed with egg white to give it a nice sheen. The filling tasted *exactly* like Smucker's strawberry jelly… In fact, I suspect it might have actually been Smucker's! Whether that’s a good or bad thing is up to personal taste. However, I found it odd that while they offer several unusual ingredients for unique drinks, like turmeric and ginger for golden drinks, their selection of more standard flavored syrups is extremely limited. There’s no raspberry, no strawberry, and no other berry flavors—just chocolate, honey, coconut, and of course, turmeric. Their golden drinks have more of a winter flavor profile anyway, which is probably why they’re not currently on the menu. They have no specials at the moment (though they mentioned they can still make the turmeric drinks), zero fruit flavors, and a very limited selection of syrups. Come on, guys! Don’t rest on your laurels. What are you doing to stay competitive? Be sure to grab your turmeric latte before 8 PM!"

"I 've decided to NEVER visit this Peet 's location again. Super-slow service on the weekends, and today when I went in and ordered a LARGE drink, they tried giving me a medium. The young girl said, Well, you were charged for a medium, so if you want, we can remake it if you pay the difference. Are you kidding me! THEIR mistake, and they want to make me pay the $1 difference! I should have taken my $1.80 tip back! I just told her, forget it, and walked out. Funny thing is, the SAME thing happened a month or two ago. WOW! But that time, at least the barista just chose to give me a slight attitude and remake it, in LARGE, and not charge me the difference. What do they think...that I am trying to hustle them by getting a large drink for the price of a medium??? ASININE! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! Additionally, when I first walked in, there were like 4 people waiting for their drinks and no one waiting to order. So I walked up, and stood there for at least 2 minutes like the invisible man, with no one even acknowledging my presence. Maybe a, Hello sir, we 'll be right with you would be appropriate? And then when the girl finally did come to the counter, she just stood there, stared blankly at me and said nothing! RUDE!!! Maybe I 'm just getting old, but it seems like people in the service industry are just too cool or too busy to do what they are paid to do...BE NICE TO PEOPLE!!! Or maybe, let 's just blame COVID...it 's what everyone else is doing! LOL!!! P.S., Clayton Valley Shopping Center Peet 's Employees: Linguistically, the words LARGE and MEDIUM sound NOTHING alike...The first has 1 syllable, and the second has 3 syllables and a long vowel. Even with my mask, you should have understood me."
