My problem with Peets is twofold.

1. It smells more strongly of coffee than is my general experience with coffee shops and I hate the smell of coffee (before you ask I'm only ever in there when Lani is getting some).

2. At least for the few shops that seem to be the only ones where we end up there not only isn't room for lounging (a reasonable business decision) but there generally isn't room for the people in there ordering. The one on Lakeshore in Oakland is about 4 miles deep but only 18 inches wide. You literally (literally used metaphorically) have to crowd surf to get from the door to the back of the line and then again to get from the register to the condiments bar. And there's only 15 people in there.
