Spying Out Peet's Café @ Harvard Square

Yesterday my wife, her mom and myself took a trip to Boston, MA for the day. We hit a lot of the tourist spots, but I think one of the highlights of the trip was our discovery of Peet's Cafe. You probably never heard of Alfred Peet, but I am sure you heard of STARBUCKS. To make a long story short, Alfred Peet brought the passion of quality coffee to America, started a couple cafe's that latered branched off to what we know as STARBUCKS.

Checkout his story @ http://www.peets.com/

First, I want to say the Vanilla Latter I drank was the best Latte I ever had in my life.

Peet's Coffee and Tea uses a system like McDonalds, so when you order your drink at the register, the order is then sent to a computer screen @ the LATTE machine where up to 2 people can work, and the barista(s) makes the drink then hits a button which moves him/her to the next drink and on and on they go.

Also, the labels on the pounds of coffee they sell inform consumners how to make a quality cup of coffee.

The store had a lot of room for people to sit back and relax, study, read, connect with friends, etc.
