Peet's Coffee closing 30 Bay Area locations

"For anyone who knows a coffee drinker, take away the person's caffeine fix, and there's no telling what might happen. Although the circumstance is not as dire, news is spreading fast that Peet's Coffee is closing or has already closed some of its coffee houses in the Bay Area. As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, approximately 30 Bay Area locations are closing. One of the Berkeley-born chain's North Bay locations that has already closed is in the Mill Valley at 88 Throckmorton Ave., according to a Google search for the business."

"Peet's has made the difficult decision to close a number of Peet's Coffee locations by the end of January 2026. These closures reflect a broader effort to align our business with long-term growth priorities and current market conditions. We are deeply grateful to our incredible employees and loyal customers for their continued commitment to the brand. As we move forward, we remain dedicated to the quality, craftsmanship, and heritage that have defined Peet's for the past 60 years, while embracing new opportunities to innovate and grow."

Approximately 30 Peet's Coffee locations in the Bay Area are closing or have closed, including a Mill Valley shop at 88 Throckmorton Ave. Online searches did not show closures yet for the Napa, Sonoma, and Solano county locations, though that status could change. A Peet's spokesperson confirmed multiple locations will close by the end of the month but did not disclose exact sites or numbers. The company did not tie the closures to Keurig Dr Pepper's planned $18 billion purchase of JDE Peet's. Peet's affirmed commitment to quality, employee and customer appreciation, and long-term growth alignment. Peet's originated in Berkeley in 1966.
