As we welcome in 2010, Queen Anne may be saying goodbye to a third of the neighborhood’s caffeine corner. Reader Ann Chen walked in to Peet’s Coffee & Tea at the top of the hill yesterday to find a closing sign and the news that today, January 1, 2010, may be their last. She wrote,
Very sad news greeted me at the end of 2009. I walked into Peet’s Coffee at the corner of Boston St and QA Blvd and saw a sign notifying customers of the pending closure of this location. Their last day is New Year’s Day 2010! Yes, that is today! I’ve come to love this coffee shop…This is a huge loss.
Peet’s hasn’t yet opened for business today, so I wasn’t able to confirm this information, but I will update with the reasoning and circumstances of the closure first thing in the morning.
Update: I just spoke with Peet’s employee, Debbie, was has confirmed that they are in fact closing their doors at the end of today. “It’s our last day,” she said. “There’s just not enough traffic here to support the store.” This isn’t surprising news, given that there are three caffeine stops directly on the corner of Boston St. and Queen Anne Ave N–four if you count Caffe Ladro just a few doors down. Still, it’s never good news to hear of losing a decent coffee shop in Seattle.
Debbie did note that Peet’s will be keeping it’s other Seattle locations in Fremont, Greenlake, Capitol Hill, and Interbay, which just opened in May. She also mentioned that most of the staff who would like to be relocated will be able to be moved to one of the other stores. There’s no word yet on what will be moving into the corner shop at 2201 Queen Anne Ave. N.
If anyone is interested in stopping in and saying goodbye to Peet’s today, they’ll be open until 8 p.m.
(Thanks to Ann for the tip!)

Hmm. Interesting. I swear it's only been open a year.
It's a pretty building. I know Peets probably pumped some money into re-doing it, but I would think that with Teacup and Starbucks they just didn't get the business they needed. Now, with another location open down on Elliot/15th, I'm not surprised.
Here's to something great going in there. Not just another Pilates/yoga/thai place.

that area has also seen tullys for a few years i think we are saturated on queen ann with great coffee shops. The big guys will have to try alittle harder if they are to suceede the 3rd wave in seattle. As a queen ann resident I am looking for coffee on the next level from roasters that can showcase the flavor of the bean. Not just give every bean a full city burn.

You are a Queen Anne resident and don't even know how to spell the name of your own neighborhood? Shameful.

This is sad. Almost all businesses that are stable for years are now closing because of recession.

I had got a desire to start my own company, but I did not earn enough of money to do this. Thank God my close fellow told to take the http://lowest-rate-loans.com. Thus I took the short term loan and realized my dream.
