PJ's Coffee of New Orleans is a distinguished coffee company with a rich legacy that dates back to 1978 when it was founded by Phyllis Jordan, a trailblazer in the coffee industry. The company has carved a niche for itself by emphasizing the use of the finest beans, innovative roasting techniques, and a passionate commitment to the art of coffee making. Over the years, PJ's Coffee has grown from a local favorite to an expanding brand with over 145 stores including international locations, serving a wide array of hot, iced, and frozen coffee beverages crafted from only the top 1% of Arabica beans. Their product offerings also include organic teas, fresh breakfast pastries, and the renowned PJ's Original Cold Brew™ Ice Coffee, which is brewed using a unique cold-drip process developed by the founder. This process results in a flavorful coffee that is two-thirds less acidic, delivering a superior taste experience that has been perfected over more than four decades. The company's commitment to quality extends beyond beverages to community involvement, supporting local schools and initiatives that enhance quality of life. PJ's Coffee also provides retail options with whole bean coffee and single-serve cups available in-store and online.
