    Peet’s Coffee Keeps Brewing Up New Dairy-Free Menu Items

    5
    By Alisa Fleming on January 23, 2023 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated March 2023! Over several decades, Peet’s Coffee has caffeinated millions of people in major cities across the US. But their menu goes far beyond a simple cup of Joe. Peet’s offers a large assortment of specialty coffees, blended drinks, teas, and freshly baked goods, with a surprising amount of dairy-free and vegan options. They’ve even started a line of oat lattes, with seasonal flavors, and have tested the waters with plant-based food. See what’s currently in store in our quick guide below.

    Peet's Coffee - Dairy-Free and Vegan Guide to the Food and Drinks at this U.S. Coffeehouse

    Peet’s Coffee Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan Options

    Sadly, Peet’s dairy-free whipped cream was discontinued a few years ago. But they are forging ahead with dairy-free milk beverage options, seasonal dairy-free drinks, and even plant-based menu items and dairy-free baked goods. The following items are also vegan, unless otherwise noted.

    Menu Coffee & Tea Drinks

    • Americano
    • Coffee (hot or cold brew)
    • Espresso (hot or iced)
    • Teas (hot or iced)
    • Brown Sugar Cold Brew Oat Latte
    • Caffe Latte (hot or iced; dairy-free milk)
    • Caffe Mocha (hot or iced; dairy-free milk, no whip)
    • Cappuccino (hot or iced; dairy-free milk)
    • Chai Latte (hot or iced; dairy-free milk)
    • Cold Brew Oat Latte
    • Horchata Cold Brew Oat Latte
    • Iced Brown Sugar Matcha Oat Latte
    • Matcha Green Tea Latte (hot, iced, or blended iced; dairy-free milk, no whip)
    • Matcha Frappe (non-dairy milk, no whip)
    • Mocha Frappe (non-dairy milk, no whip)
    • Vanilla Latte (hot or iced; dairy-free milk)
    • Vanilla Latte, Sugar-Free (hot or iced; dairy-free milk)
    • Hot Chocolate (dairy-free milk, no whip)

    Heads Up! According to Peet’s, the vast majority of their hot and cold beverages can be made vegan if you place your order with a dairy-free milk alternative, hold the whip, and avoid non-vegan sauces (see below). Even their Frappes are made with a dairy-free syrup. The exceptions are the Havana Cappuccinos and Black Ties which cannot be made vegan. They are made with sweetened condensed milk.

    Seasonal Coffee & Tea Drinks

    • Spring – Lavender Cold Brew Oat Latte (with or without Brown Sugar Jelly)
    • Spring – Lavender Vanilla Almond Latte (hot or iced)
    • Spring – Vanilla Almond Matcha Latte (hot or iced
    • Summer – Brown Sugar Oat Latte (hot or iced)
    • Summer – Tea Shakers with Brown Jelly
    • Fall – Maple Latte (hot or iced; dairy-free milk)
    • Fall – Maple Oat Frappé (exclusive to Peetnik Rewards members) 
    • Fall – Pumpkin Oat Foam Cold Brew
    • Fall – Pumpkin Latte (hot or iced; dairy-free milk)
    • Winter Holiday – Holiday Spice Cold Brew Oat Latte with Brown Sugar Jelly
    • Winter Holiday – Holiday Spice Latte (hot or iced; dairy-free milk)
    • Winter Holiday – Peppermint Mocha (hot or iced; dairy-free milk, no whip)
    • Winter – Golden Caffe Latte (hot or iced; dairy-free milk) (contains honey, not vegan) 
    • Winter – Golden Chai Latte (hot or iced; dairy-free milk) (contains honey, not vegan)
    • Winter – Golden Cold Brew Oat Latte (with or without Brown Sugar Jelly) (contains honey, not vegan) 
    • Winter – Honey Cold Brew Oat Latte (contains honey, not vegan)

    Dairy-Free Milk Beverages 

    • Almond Milk (Pacific Barista)
    • Oat Milk (Pacific Barista)
    • Soy Milk (Pacific Barista)

    Heads Up! The Barista line is formulated to steam, foam, and pour seamlessly into hot and cold beverages. In the past, Peet’s has also offered Coconut Milk Beverage, but it is no longer a regular.

    Syrups for Beverage Orders

    Heads Up! Peet’s Coffee uses Monin Syrups, which the company says are all dairy-free, and appear to be made without top allergens.

    Sauces for Beverage Orders

    • Brown Sugar Jelly
    • Chocolate Sauce (house-made, for hot cocoa and mochas; see Heads Up below)
    • Dark Chocolate Sauce
    • Pumpkin Sauce (for seasonal pumpkin spice lattes)

    Heads Up! Peet’s caramel and white chocolate sauces do contain dairy. The company likes to reiterate that their house-made chocolate sauce is made where dairy is present, and thus is at risk for potential cross-contamination with milk. But all of their drinks are prepared where milk is present. And all food and beverages are at some degree of risk for potential cross contamination with allergens. Only you can assess what is safe for your needs!

    Warm Breakfast & Baked Goods

    Peet’s Coffee sources their baked goods regionally, so we’ve listed the dairy-free options by region. They are unable to customize their non-vegan breakfast sandwiches, because they are premade. We have the regions listed counterclockwise from Northwest to Northeast.

    I love all of the employees at my Folsom location. They always get the order right and they’re really quick too! They know what vegan is… unlike Starbucks that has a “plant based” sandwich with only meat free meat.

    The baristas always understand exactly what I can and can’t eat, and I don’t have to find myself explaining what soy is (or dairy). They care a lot about their customers and have great drinks.

      Sounds so great! Wish there was a Peet’s Coffee & Tea near me! Love how they seek to satisfy all dietary needs!

      We don’t have Peets Coffee here but when we travel we are all about going to different coffee shops and we’ve stopped at a few. Vegan whipped cream now makes it a must stop next time we are by one!

      I live only a few short miles away from the Massachusetts border. I’ll have to find a Peet’s Coffee & Tea. Thanks for the info.
