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!
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.

The latest podcast episode has a huge section all about Alfred Peet. And, yes, he did indeed train the founders of Starbucks
Thanks, Liam. Lots of interesting history!
Got myself a ticket on the Sep 6th history tour. Thank you for this list.
