With a variety of blended drinks in addition to coffee and tea, Peet’s Coffee also serves as a relaxing place where you can sit and talk to your friends. It sells bags of coffee beans as well. Anyway, here are the payment methods you can use at Peet’s.

You can pay your bill in several ways at Peet’s. Its coffee shops have terminals where you can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, and any other mobile wallet that supports contactless payments. While these terminals don’t support paying with PayPal QR codes, it is possible to link your PayPal account to another mobile wallet so you can use PayPal at the coffee shop as well. Peet’s mobile apps also accept Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Policies for EBT, BNPL, And Other Payment Options at Peet’s
Panera Bread | Klarna | Affirm | Afterpay | Sezzle | Zip | PayPal Credit | EBT | Store Gift Card | Store Credit Card |
In-store | No | No | Yes | No | |||||

Like other coffee shops, Peet’s doesn’t accept EBT for in-store or online purchases even in states where the Restaurant Meals program is available. But if you just want Peet’s coffee and have your own coffee machine, there is a workaround. Many grocery stores sell Peet’s coffee beans and also take EBT so you could buy these coffee beans at a store and make your coffee at home. While the pop-up Starbucks cafes in grocery stores also accept EBT under standard program rules and this would be possible at a pop-up Peet’s as well, I have not seen any pop-up Peet’s cafes.
It’s unlikely but possible that PayPal credit would work at Peet’s online store as well. And there’s also a possible BNPL workaround available. Some grocery stores also accept payments from BNPL apps and may sell Peet’s coffee beans.
