Continuing the Quest, Shop 2: The Pearl Cup

The Pearl Cup is located on Henderson, I saw it mentioned in D Magazine as one of the best lattes in Dallas and figured it was worth a try.  
When I arrived my first impression was that it was a complete turnaround from The Crooked Tree.  With a mod cement floor, stainless steel sign, and sleek lined furniture The Pearl Cup was definitely a modern hangout.  This would be a great place to hang and study, with free wifi, caffeine, and chairs that weren't so comfy that they make you fall asleep, what more could you ask for??
The menu offered some light bites like hummus and pita, or paninis, as well as a full bakery case featuring coffee shop classics like black and white cookies.  I was mostly interested in the coffee though, so I went up to the barista and asked what the signature drink was.  He told me about their award winning Pearl Latte, and I was in.  I just wish I knew how he did it!  It was smooth and creamy with just the right touch of sweet.  
Verdict:  Best latte in Dallas hands down, cool hangout, not far from SMU.  I will definitely be coming back.
