How Can I Order Vegan at Peet’s?
But first, how do you even order vegan at Peet’s? Well, I wrote a whole post on it here: Vegan Drinks At Peet’s Coffee – How To Know What’s Vegan.
In summary, almost all drinks at Peet’s can be made vegan if ordered:
- with oat, soy, or almond milk
- without whip
- without caramel, white chocolate, or honey syrup.
Cross-Contamination
Before I continue a quick note on cross-contamination.
As is the case with all non-exclusively vegan restaurants there is always the chance of cross-contamination. I will leave it to your discretion as to whether this is something you are comfortable with or not.
Sugar
Also, the source of any sugar has not been verified in terms of whether bone char has been used in processing. In fact, there is the following statement on Peets website:
“Any of our beverages that contain sweeteners (syrups and sauces) will NOT be vegan due to white sugar being an ingredient that is not certified vegan”.
Some vegans are comfortable consuming sugar that may have been processed with bone char whilst some are not. If you fall into the latter category, then stick to the unsweetened drinks below such as the cappuccino and sugar-free vanilla latte.
