PJ's Coffee of New Orleans is a widely respected specialty coffee company founded in 1978 by Phyllis Jordan, a visionary in the coffee industry who emphasized using better beans, superior roasting techniques, and a genuine passion for the craft of coffee making. The company has grown substantially since its establishment and was acquired in 2008 by three New Orleans natives who continue to uphold the tradition of quality and community focus. PJ's Coffee serves a broad variety of hot, iced, and frozen coffee beverages made from the top 1% of Arabica beans, along with organic teas and freshly baked breakfast pastries. Their Original Cold Brew™ Iced Coffee is crafted daily using a unique cold-drip process that preserves the coffee's flavor and strength while reducing acidity, a method perfected and maintained for over 40 years across all PJ's locations. With more than 145 stores nationwide and four locations internationally, PJ's Coffee remains a growing and beloved brand in the specialty coffee market. The company is committed not only to providing outstanding coffee but also to engaging with local communities through initiatives aimed at improving quality of life and supporting educational programs.
