Dr. Pepper has Acquired Berkeley Born Peet's Coffee!
This latest news has me SHOOK. As a Bay Area coffee person, Peet's was at one point, the gold standard. Not just for a cup of coffee for the grown and sexy, but a Berkeley institution. Beatnick roots and the original coffee house vibe. Long before Starbucks, Peet's was waking up folks around the college campus with a good roast, strong coffee and baristas that were ahead of their time. I appreciate all the wonderful microroasters and definitely support small business. Peet's was the original small business coffee shop. Let's brew up a pot of Major Dickason's blend for the coffee culture.
