J B Peel Coffee & Tea

Phenomenal experiance! After being disappointed for overpriced tea at yum yum noodle bar I was motivated to find a better tea experiance. The establishment was closed but the owner let us in! She gave us fresh chai tea made with real tea and not powder! You also can beat the price! Only 3 dollars for homemade quality iced tea!

Feels like the olde apothocaries in Holland, with the small brown paper sacks or cones of teas and herbs chosen from a wall of alphabetized cupboard drawers, Or Wafts like the old shoppes under the Edinburgh bridges, with the burlap sacks and spices and utensils for kitchens, all with live fire roastings, coffee beans, chestnuts, vanilla, And Transports me to the penny candy shops calling at me into their doors as I'm walking to school in S. W. Philly, with just so many chocolatey choices and brightly colored bonbons in full glass jars on shelves, clutching the full small sandwich bag bulging for just a quarter and planning out recess and recess sales and trades ... #JBPeelCoffees - an archetypal family shoppe with friendly, busy staff handling roasting fires. Online shopping & new curbside pickup and walk up window is icing on the gluten-free cale! Did I say #biscottis ? #MyMonthlyItem ?#darkchocolatecoveredespressobeans ! Grateful to be able to swing through #historicRedHook and #visitJBPeelsCoffees : I'd sport that #bumper sticker !

O H M Y G O D! This was literally the best experience I’ve had from any business in my whole life. Drove all the way from Orange County for about an hour after my brother’s professor recommended the place to us and didn’t realize that it was curbside or delivery only. Bummed me out just a touch because it was my own ignorance that made me drive that far haha so I placed the order online anyway and it said “usually ready within 1 hour” so I placed the order and just asked the person at the window “hey is it actually gonna take an hour?” And explained my situation to him. He was so happy and he just took one glance at my phone and got me everything I ordered within 1 minute and asked “since you came from so far away do you want a cold brew for the road?” Never in my life have I been treated so well by a local establishment, even though it was only a few small gestures it still went a really long way for me and I will definitely be a returning customer. (Btw the coffee is delicious!)

Such rave reviews! -- something seems suspicious -- I get comments from friends and relatives that this shop is quite unfriendly and not particularly helpful to customers. I am a local and would love to buy my beans there, and have, but each time I go in the shop I am met with someone who seems annoyed that I am present. If the coffee was superb I would overlook that, but in my opinion is it decent, but not great. Still, since I am so close, I will try them once again and if I am found wrong I too will write a rave review.
