Peet's Coffee, a coffee chain founded in Berkeley in 1966, has closed its locations in Solana Beach and Rancho Bernardo, California. The closures were part of a larger announcement by the company of several planned closures across Southern California by the end of January 2026.

Why it matters

The closures of these two Peet's locations in San Diego County are part of a broader corporate transition for the coffee chain. Keurig Dr Pepper announced plans to purchase Peet's in 2025, leading to the decision to shutter some underperforming stores.

The details

The Solana Beach Peet's location, at the corner of Cedros Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive, opened in May 2013 but closed on January 30, 2026. The Rancho Bernardo store, located at 11922 Bernardo Plaza Drive, also closed on the same date. Employees had notified customers of the impending closures prior to the final day of operations.
