Picked up a medley of beans today 5 to be exact and tried 4 so far. All are very similar to the descriptions on the site. Roasted well and appreciated being able to diversify with quarter pounds rather than getting too much where they can lose flavor in a couple weeks. Have to try to the French roast next time. European royale, I brewed clean and it literally tastes like English black tea

I went here last week on Tuesday for the first time, and I was blown away by their cold brew. It was so good that I continued to go there for the next three days! I normally go to Starbucks, but their coffee was by far better than Starbucks and cheaper. This is my go to place. I highly recommend.

Delicious and affordable, and staff are pleasant and efficient. For everyone that visits us, this is always the favorite of the local coffee shops. The beans are some of our most in-demand Christmas gift requests from our family on the east coast. The only downside is the retail shop is only open on the weekdays, but I respect the work/life balance. Pastry options can run out quickly, so if you want a snack with your drink get there sooner rather than later.

Absolutely Outstanding Coffee Peerless Coffee & Tea truly lives up to its name. Their whole beans are near perfection—fresh, rich, and full of flavor. Every cup brewed from these beans is consistently delicious, smooth, and balanced, with none of the bitterness you sometimes get elsewhere. You can taste the quality and care that goes into their roasting. If you love coffee, this is as good as it gets. (to be super clear in my order was online)

I’ve never considered myself a coffee person until I started my current job which at times required me to start the day with a little bit of caffeine. Starting off, my palate for coffee was not at all developed, at first, all coffee tasted the same to me. After years and years of Starbucks coffee, and then having my first cup at Peerless, I could immediately taste the difference. There is depth and richness of flavor and aroma that you will find here at Peerless vs a chain cafe. The quality of the coffee here actually pushed me to buy a coffee maker so that I could buy some beans from peerless to brew my own coffee at home.
