PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans started in 1978 as one of the original specialty coffee brands when our founder, Phyllis Jordan, opened her first coffee house in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her vision was to give customers a gourmet cup of coffee by selecting only the top 1% of Arabica coffee beans from around the world and roasting them in small batches – the same way we do it today at our roasting facility along the Mississippi River in New Orleans.

PJ’s offers a wide selection of premium beverages; espresso based beverages, flavored coffees, and our award winning original cold-brew iced coffee. In addition, we offer fresh baked pastries and desserts as well as a variety of food options for multiple day parts. PJ’s is also proud to support sustainability. Our coffee is both fair-trade, rain forest alliance certified. With our adoption of the Finca Terrerito Farm in Honduras, we are proud to support this farm with a commitment to purchase 100% of their crop by way of direct-trade. Our locations range from 1,200 to 1,800 square feet and many will include a drive-thru.

Our brand promise is to provide simply the best coffee – fresh, consistent and delicious. Our stores offer our customers a friendly, warm and hospitable environment with a focus on supporting the communities we serve.
