Peet’s Storeroom at Plaza Center in Lafayette Looking Good

June 19, 2018 1:15 pm

Plaza Center, Lafayette

Apparently Peet’s Coffee at Plaza Center in Lafayette is lacking space so they have a separate storefront on the backside that acts as a storeroom. Nicely decorated; too bad it’s not a special Peet’s Reserve store like Starbucks Reserve though.
