Peet's Coffee @ NYU

This outpost of the Berkeley-born chain pairs its menu of teas, blended drinks, and baked goods with a reputation for welcoming service. Regulars often highlight the honey latte as a favorite, alongside classic pumpkin spice options. The pricing draws mixed reviews; it can feel like a premium splurge compared to Starbucks, though visitors note the quality justifies the cost. For those staying a while, the outdoor seating provides a spot to unwind or meet up.
