Peet's Coffee and Tea
At the corner of walnut and vine in berkeley, (http://www.peets.com). founded in 1966 as a pioneering effort to bring fresh-roasted "gourmet" coffee to the american palate, peet's coffee shop started a revolution in american coffee tastes. when starbucks was founded in seattle, they initially bought their coffee from peet's. peet's is now a medium-sized chain with locations in several areas of the united states. as part of the coffee revolution, you will also find many fine independent coffee shops throughout the bay area, as well as the ubiquitous starbucks, which has more locations than mcdonald's.
