The new Peet's in Berkeley finally opened.

I am up at 12:16am.

These two things may be related.

(Yummiest soy latte I've ever had, by the way.)

It's on Shattuck, almost as far north as what we call "downtown Berkeley" -- not quite as far north as the BART station.

And I haven't tried a frappuccino or however they're spelled, but I liked the caramel mocha I got at the san diego Peet's after I finally convinced them I wanted it with coffee and not with Chai.

Frappucino is actually a Starbucks thing, trademarked I think. "Freddo" is the Peet's version of the same thing, like a coffee slurpee. Peet's never was into flavored fancy coffee like that before, so I was a bit appalled.

Yeah, that's why I said I've never tried it -- I've yet to enter a Starbucks, and I don't intend to start. :-)

I was pleased when I learned this past Christmas season that Peet's was now brewing eggnog lattes (sounds weird. tastes great) so I didn't have to stop at the Evil Coffee Empire for my weekly fix while shopping on North Shattuck.

I thought there was a Peet's on that stretch of Shattuck already, silly me. Shows how often I go downtown .
