Most Peet's Coffee locations are open 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM Saturday, and 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM Sunday. The chain is closed on Christmas Day at most stores; Thanksgiving hours vary.

Peet’s Coffee (founded 1966 in Berkeley, California by Dutch immigrant Alfred Peet; the chain that taught the Starbucks founders how to roast coffee and supplied Starbucks with beans for its first store; owned by JDE Peet’s NV, Euronext Amsterdam: JDEP, in the JAB Holding portfolio since 2012) is an American specialty-coffee chain with about 370 US locations weighted heavily across California plus the Pacific Northwest, Boston, and Chicago.

Common questions are about Sunday hours, what time the morning rush opens, the Major Dickason’s Blend dark roast, Cold Brew Black Tie, drive-thru status, and which holidays close every Peet’s (Christmas at most stores) versus which stay open with regular hours.

One quirk worth knowing: Peet’s launched the American specialty dark-roast coffee movement in 1966 and still leans heavily on dark-roast offerings (Major Dickason’s, French Roast, Italian Roast) versus the lighter-roast direction Starbucks moved toward in the 2000s, which is part of why Peet’s loyalists tend to describe the cup as a noticeably stronger, smokier coffee.
