Pearl Coffee Co

Pearl Coffee Co is on South Broadway in Akron. It's an old-fashioned, relaxing shop with a shop dog named Ella and its own gravel parking lot. You might know their coffee from office break rooms around Akron.

The Diana blend is great for americanos, the Seattle-style blend has its fans, and the tiramisu coffee sells out fast when it's in. Bags come in 8 oz sizes for about $8, so it's easy to try something new. There's tea, biscotti and flavor syrups too.

It's set up for quick bean shopping, and Ella's usually around to say hi.
