OZO Coffee | East Pearl

Really a great espresso, their house blend. Professional touch with the side of sparkling water to cleanse the palate before.

This is a must stop for a coffee fix and a pastry/snack when you’re walking around Pearl St. Plenty of seating inside and out. It wasn’t overly crowded on a Sunday, so caffeine + a relaxing time was perfect.

I walk to this coffee shop from work a couple of times a month to get a latte. Unfortunately, I’ve gotten sick after my last two visits. I’m concerned there may be an issue with the milk or another ingredient. I visited again this afternoon, and shortly afterward, I experienced stomach issues. I hope the team can look into this and ensure everything is fresh and up to standard—I’d love to keep coming back.

If you appreciate a great cup of coffee, this is a must-stop when visiting Pear St. However, if you're like me, and drink coffee more for the variety of milks and syrups you can add to it, this place is just another coffee shop (albeit a little pricier). I did like their large menu of flavored mochas (see picture), and some of the baked goods looked delectable. However, the breakfast sandwiches and burritos tasted like they were pre-made and warmed up upon ordering (preformed egg rounds, undercooked bacon). That's fine when I'm at Starbucks at paying less than $5, but for nearly $9 I expect more. The vibe inside is chill. There is a seating area up front by the windows and another down the back hall. The baristas are friendly and service is fast considering how many people were lining up on the Sunday afternoon when we visited. If you don't want to sit inside there are handful of outdoor tables that let you people watch while enjoying your coffee.

I loved the mocha I got here. Excellent espresso great balance not too sweet. If you like very sweet coffee then you may need to order extra syrup. I would buy espresso from this shop and take it home if I could!
