based on context clues, I'm assuming you wandered by Xochi the Dog cafe! I cannot sing that place's praises enough. Also, long time listener, first time commenter. Thanks for doing what you do!

No mention of Peets?

I read that Alfred Peet explained the coffee biz to the bros who started Starbucks with the understanding that Starbucks would never compete head-to-head with Peets.

Is this folklore or yet another reason to shun Charbucks"?

The latest podcast episode has a huge section all about Alfred Peet. And, yes, he did indeed train the founders of Starbucks
