About PJ's Coffee of New Orleans:

Phyllis (PJ) Jordan was a pioneer in the coffee industry. Driven by pure passion for the art of coffee making and her strong belief that better beans and superior roasting techniques mattered, she founded PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans in 1978.

In 2008, PJ’s was purchased by New Orleans natives and brothers, Paul, Steven, and Scott Ballard. The Ballard Brothers continue to honor the tradition of freshness and quality that Phyllis intended, using only the top 1% of Arabica beans harvested around the world. PJ’s Original Cold Brew™ Ice Coffee is brewed daily using a special cold-drip process that protects the flavor and strength of the beans while producing a coffee that is two-thirds less acidic – a process and technique developed by its founder and used for more than 40 years at all PJ’s locations.

PJ’s Coffee also serves a wide variety of hot, iced, and frozen coffee and other beverages, as well as organic tea and fresh breakfast pastries. Bags of whole bean coffee and single-serve cups are available for sale in-store and online. With more than 145 stores, including four international locations, PJ’s Coffee continues to grow in the U.S. and abroad and is an avid supporter of fair trade and direct trade coffee farmers.
