I had to decline my good friend Martin's invitation to join him for a cup of Peets this morning in order to get into work on time for an early meeting. The location he frequents is not 'en route' to work and as such, makes dropping by a time hit during days with already compressed schedules.
So imagine my excitement to see, on the way into work along my 'backstreet commute', a new Peets! They've opened a new location at the corner of Saratoga/Sunnyvale and Prospect. I immediately swung into the parking lot, bought a coffee and a muffin, chatted with the staff a bit and continued on my merry way. Now there's 4 within my home/work radius and with the introduction of this one, being on the right side of the road on my drive to work, an option with the optimal ease and convenience.
Mine is a simple set of needs, is it not? :-)
