    If you REALLY want to get your creative juices flowing, Starbucks isn't going to cut it. This is the real deal. The authentic coffee shop ambiance at the Pearl Cup will inspire you. Check it out, eh?

    #6 on my list of Best Hot Chocolate in Dallas— http://ow.ly/8m7vq. They serve regular hot chocolate and Mexican spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and hazelnut. Get Mexican and ask for a latte design.

    The best Chai I've ever tasted. It's so unique, and delicious. I get the soy chai and it's fantastic. Quiet and eclectic little coffee shop, perfect for study, work, or read.

    The staff and coffee is superb here. Try the pearl latte. I'm not a hipster and I felt very welcome. I even wore duck hunting Camo and that helped me strike up a conversation with a few of the staff

    If Cody, Lucas, Eamon or Adrian are working, it's going to be the best coffee you've ever had. From the quality of taste to the presentation, I would love to bathe in pearl cup coffee.

    The signature pearl latte is a must have! It is so smooth you can drink it without sugar. People are cool here too!

    The Pearl latte was great, but the Mexican hot chocolate was like....Whoa! First time here and I'm definitely impressed.

    Best cafe in town. Try Cortado. And also ask for a Dirty Chai Latte. Both are excellent (for my tastes).

    Arrive early to get the rounded table but the window. Excellent light during sunset. I wish they had more desserts. Probably it's good they don't.

    Meant to order the Pearl Signature latte, but got the regular one instead. It was really good, but would have liked it hotter. Foam tasted faintly like toasted marshmallow.

    The cold brew is the move for people who like strong coffee. It was quite good!

    Limited seating, kind of uncomfortable chairs. Great baristas who practice well the art of coffee making.

    The chile rellano crepe is the best! Note that crepes are only available on weekends before 2pm.

    If you like your coffee on ice, just know that there is an extra charge to get it iced and they don't offer iced drinks in regular sizes so you will have to upgrade in size too. Hope you are thirsty!

    Bring an extension cord if you need to be plugged in A lot of the plugs are a little too far from the seating areas.

    If u can pry yourself from the Pearl Latte, or want something less filling, check out the espresso con panna.

    Don't quite understand the extra "on ice" cost, but hasn't stoppe me obviously. Best feel/fill of any coffee joint in town. Like the wifi passwords.
