Calling all Mill Valley Peetniks! Don’t Be Sad – We’re Here for You! Starting November 4th at 7am, Sweetwater Music Hall’s CafĆ© Will Be Open & Proudly Pouring Peet’s. CafĆ©’s Open 7 days a week, 7am-7pm!

As coffee lovers can attest, there’s been lots of Sturm & Drang in recent months about the future of Peet’s Coffee at 88 Throckmorton in downtown Mill Valley. The Peet’s Coffee store in Mill Valley has been part of the company success that began in 1966. Peet’s opened its first Bay Area store in Berkeley in 1966 and the Mill Valley location was opened in 1987. Peet’s determined in recent months that the size of the 88 Throckmorton space no longer matched the customer experience of the other successful Peet’s shops elsewhere in Marin County. Rather than simply move on, the ever-creative folks, legendary Sweetwater Music Hall saw an opportunity to keep Peet’s in downtown Mill Valley.

Inspired by the dichotomy of the beautiful West Marin coast and the chaotic pandora’s box of internet culture, the pollution and dilution from the world of the human and the natural world, Kieran creates portals into times past and prophetic future. His works are a cathartic jesters take on the patterns of medieval feudalism, dystopian science fiction and natural landscapes imbued by the power of wind in the trees litany. Show title: Benthic Wind Of the Subconscious Ocean
