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 Mill Valley at 88 Throckmorton Ave., according to a Google search for the business.

An online search covering Peet’s locations in Sonoma and Solano counties did not turn up any closures, although that could change.

A Peet’s spokesperson confirmed via email that the company is closing multiple locations by the end of the month but did not specify where or how many. Nor did the spokesperson respond when pressed on whether the closures were a result of Keurig Dr Pepper’s planned purchase of JDE Peet’s in an $18 billion deal.

In response to questions from the Journal, the spokesperson only said,  “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.”

The company also did not respond to a request to outline any other store closings or if it will post a closure map.

Peet’s launched out of Berkeley in 1966.
