Pearl Coffee Co

Two loves have I: one is history and the other coffee. At Pearl Coffee Company, I don’t have to choose. A century of roasting in Akron has perfected the craft. The Diana blend is my particular weakness.

I have been a patron for years. When I first moved to the area almost 30 years ago I had my first cup of Diana. My taste has progressed and I buy mostly their blends (Hells half acre and Scandinavian are my favs) and single origin beans (kenyan, Tanzanian AA and Papua New Guinea cannot be beat or found elsewhere in the area). The bean quality is exceptional and there are very few if any broken beans. They have their own line of tea bags (Diana single cup and gallon tea bags) that I particularly enjoy iced. I look forward to seeing and chatting with the customers, owner and employees. The shop dog (Ella) is always on the lookout for customers and loves a good petting:) Nice stop if you are out on your motorcycle or touring the Ohio & Erie Canalway-America's Byway.

I went here after getting out of school early to just shop around the city a little bit and I couldn’t help but notice the negative vibe from one of the employees or owner, she was a old white lady with blond hair, and while I was shopping around for teas she stared at me the whole time and made me feel very uncomfortable. I was dressed down because I obviously just got out of school but the way she looked me up and down was just rude. Anyways the cashier was nice but I would advise that lady to maybe be more welcoming?? Idk I was only 16!! And also when I first came and asked if they were opened she got snarky.

Very reasonably priced coffee, and SO FRESH. They usually have some bagged and ready, but if they don’t, just ask them what they have and they’ll bag you what’s been recently roasted. We’ve been drinking our way through this shop for the last six months, and have zero plans of slowing down. Both the black coffees and the flavored coffees are well worth their weight.

Awesome coffee !!!! Please go try ! Excellent customer service and very nice and welcoming! Taste is immaculate! A must try !
