Everything Vegan at Peet's Coffee

Buried in busy schedules, Americans need their coffee. 62 percent of American adults start their day with a cup of joe, with many drinking multiple cups throughout the day. From regular drip coffee to specialty lattes, coffee shops nationwide are providing busy Americans with the fuel to upkeep their packed routines. But what about dairy-free customers? In recent years, coffee shops everywhere have embraced plant-based milk for customers, and Peet's Coffee has worked hard to show vegan customers that they are welcome.

Peet's Coffee operates nearly 340 locations across 20 states, featuring an extensive coffee menu paired with its signature Everything Plant-Based Sandwich. The national coffee chain debuted the vegan sandwich last March, partnering with Violife, Just Egg, and Beyond Meat to craft one of the best plant-based sandwiches available at a national coffee chain.

To accompany the plant-based sandwich and grab & go vegan snacks, Peet's Coffee caters to its dairy-free customers with its highly adaptable menu. Customers can order nearly every coffee beverage with slight modifications for almond, soy, or oat milk, including several specialty iced lattes and flavored frappes without dairy milk.

Here's everything that's vegan at Peet's Coffee.

Avoiding Dairy for Your Health

Nearly (49 percent) of Gen Z consumers feel ashamed while ordering dairy milk in public, proving that dairy shame is real. But why? The environmental and health risks presented by dairy production and consumption have motivated more consumers to minimize their dairy consumption.

By consuming more dairy, you increase your risk of disease, strokes, and heart attacks. Dairy consumption has been linked to an 80 percent higher risk of breast cancer and a 60 percent increased risk of prostate cancer.
