PJ's Coffee

We stopped here mid morning about 10:30 on a Saturday week before Thanksgiving. It was moderately busy; but we were able to sit and our coffees were ready quickly. Staff was friendly and the shop looked clean. We got a frappacino and two double espresso. Thanks!

PJ's coffee is one of the best roasters in New Orleans, with many locations throughout the city and region. This particular store on Magazine Street is always clean, staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is fantastic. The courtyard is a truly peaceful spot, with beautiful alcoves equipped with comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy coffee with friends, or read/study in. Inside, the store features several lounge-style rooms with cafe tables and couches. Overall it is generally a quiet and upscale coffee shop, while much less expensive than many national chain coffee shops.

I'm not usually about chain coffee places, but I LOVE this location. The staff are all super friendly and even helped me make up a drink (the 🍫 covered 🍒 granita, one pump tart cherry, one pump 🍫 and whip cream)! Plus the back patio is a great spot to chill!

PJS is one of my favorite coffeeshop ever but recently the staff changed a lot and all my orders were done poorly. My matcha was brown and tasted like coffee. A few times in a row. I think they're not gleaning the thing each time. That's too bad because this PJs had a nice outdoor! Train your staff better :(

Stopped by for a quick coffee with friends and got a cinnamon roll. Loved the outdoor seating area, let’s you relax and you’re able to people watch. It was the perfect weather to just be outside and enjoy the day. It was kind of small inside but I like it! They did have additional seating in the very back. Super cozy and I’ll have to stop by again when in the area.

The last couple of times I've visited the PJ's on the Westbank Exp in Marrero, the granita was not available. This is my primary drink and very disappointing 😫😒

The coffee is great! But you come to this particular location for the atmosphere! Very Hygge!

A really nice coffee shop with friendly staff. Tasty coffee and a delicious pastry.

Love checking out an OG location! This is the oldest PJs, which is fun. Barista was really friendly. I got an iced fruit tea and lemonade (which I mixed!) which was refreshing for a hot afternoon. Prices were very reasonable as well. Clean, lots of seating, and there's a nice courtyard in the back.

Very good coffee in an unassuming setting. This is the perfect PJs location to meet a friend, have a business chat, relax with a book or study. The baristas are kind, swift and helpful. The roasted coffee beans are quite good also. The pastries are not top notch.

My first experience with high-quality coffee started in the late 1989s. Eclectic customers, friendly, helpful, and flexible service. Opens earlier than nearly every other coffe shop. I come to the Magazine PJs and usually meet other people I know. Coffe is always flavorful and smooth as they take coffee, roasting, and brewing seriously. Standout in the world of coffee.

I walked into this PJ's just now. There was one person ahead of me who had just ordered two drinks (nothing too complicated). It took 10+ minutes to give my order and another 5+ to get my drink. The "dirty chai" is almost undrinkable. It doesn't even taste like the right drink. But i didn't want to hold up the growing line and risk wasting more time. So i swallowed the loss of $9 and 20 minutes, but can't swallow this awful beverage. Horrible from start to finish.

I went on a Thursday sorta busy cuz of the work traffic but all in all the service was good and the hot chocolate was delicious and the ambience was nice

This was my first time at this PJ's location, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is really cool; it looks like it used to be a house, and it is very spacious on the inside once you walk to the back of the shop. I got an Iced Chai Tea Latte with Almond Milk and a shot of espresso--it was really good but all the add-ins did make it a little pricey. However, it was worth it, and I will be coming back!

The best! Gorgeous leafy backyard, a lovely community vibe, and the sweetest staff. I love their frozen hot chocolate, and the fact that they support local businesses with a lot of their snacks is a bonus too.

PJ's Coffee offered me a unique sort of cold brew that I would highly recommend. In addition the pecan cold brew I tried they also had a variety of offerings (a seasonal pumpkin version also caught my eye). This pecan-infused cold brew was super unique to me (as a cold brew aficionado) and when I added some cold foam on top it was a definite winner. There are several PJ's Coffee locations around New Orleans and although they don't have the classic NOLA chicory coffee I think they are worth a visit for the cold brew at least!

This PJs is one of my family's all time favorite spots to gather and chat over coffee!!! My dad grew up on Jefferson nearby, so growing up, when this Pjs came to town on Mag, we were soooooo excited!!! It's been the best ever since!!! I have coffee with my immediate and extended fam there all the time! They have a spacious interior in the back, front house seating, a few small tops out front along beautiful magazine, and a large courtyard patio in the back when the weather is just right for enjoying the outdoors. Staff is always friendly and helpful! Coffee is top notch, we love it, always!!! Thanks PJs for all of your special locations, and especially for this wonderful one that our family enjoys so often! 100/10, 10000 stars if I could!!! I'll be back, like tomorrow. P.s. look for Starfish the Opossum Polaroid on the cork board! She's my niece

I usually leave reviews after I've been to an establishment several times but today calls for an exception. I was so pleased with the customer service from the staff at PJ's. As soon as I walked in I was greeted kindly and because it was my first time the staff was patience with me as I browsed the menu selections. The area I live in is without internet due to the storm and I really needed to find a place that I could work for several hours today. PJ's Coffee is it! I'm new to the city and this is certainly a place I will frequent often because of the service I received today. The magazine street location is spacious and has multiple rooms that you can work from. I really loved the large courtyard in the back. It has beautiful decor and lighting and seating for smaller and large groups. Thank you for making my morning and sharing your space today.

I work in the area, so I am in all the time. The coffee is great and the people are amazing. I am able to bring my dog in with me. She looks forward to getting a dog treat out of the jar next to the register. I look forward to the mean latte they make there...it gets this caffeine junky though the morning! The best part are the people! Margaret, Brooke, the two Daves, and Aubrey...I see them all the time and they are always friendly and genuine! I love this PJs and you will

Really grateful that this coffee shop is dog-friendly (even has dog treats at the counter). It's a great space and has a wonderful backyard area. Service is not always as great/efficient as other PJs locations, but the ability to stop in with my dog during a walk more than makes up for that!

Love this location. Bri is always super sweet and super friendly. Service with a smile is ever present at this location. Highly recommended!

I'm not terribly prone to superlatives, but PJ's simply has the very best iced coffee I've ever had. I typically tend to go for an iced Americano when the weather turns warm, b/c most iced coffee I've tried tastes too weak and watered down by all the ice. Unless, of course it's a toddy, but not everywhere has those and I just prefer the nutty roasted flavor of Americanos. PJ's not only uses the slow drip brewing method, but they also brew it with vanilla bean, according to the barista. The result is a terrifically smooth brew that you won't want to sully with milk nor sugar. I've never had iced coffee taste so good. It'll get you through the day with a smile, Hell, you might even find yourself ambitious enough to scrub your entire house while singing the jazz standard "Black Coffee" at the top of your lungs repeatedly (not me, of course). I also feel like this location is a lot cozier and more comfy than CC's across the street. Bonus points for a courtyard, too! I will never order an iced Americano again if PJs iced coffee is an option!

This PJ's is nestled in a tiny location near Life Yoga and across the street from a more obvious Community Coffee. Once you find it, it's worth it. You will most likely have difficulty parking around this area but there are some cool shops nearby that you can checkout after your PJs visit. I like that as you walk in there are a few seats near the counter, but then you can walk up the stairs to another room with more seating and then go even further back into a room with a couch, tv, and more tables. I love coffee shops with comfy seating like couches. Note: definitely choose to sit inside- one big downfall of this location is that the two tables outside are next to an alley with large trash cans that are stinky, stinky, stinky. I also left being covered in mosquito bites after 30 minutes. While I was here the other day, the espresso machine was being fixed (or maybe just maintained). So, I settled for an ice coffee and after adding four sugars I would give it a three out of five. Not awful tasting, not great either. I found that they make their chai from a syrup (yuck!) and was not impressed with that. There were minimal snacks and pastries when I was there- i'm not sure if they had run out of if they just usually only have a few items. (see my photos). I will definitely check back and update the review. I ordered a sesame bagel and was told that they are brought over from a local bakery! The bagels were rock hard and I was surprised that they would sell them to me like that. (okay they got a little better after being toasted). I was offered little tubs of creamed cheese and it's a do-it-yourself toasting situation. Takes credit cards including Amex!

I was once a huge PJs fan...like maybe 10 or 15 years ago. But then the corporate management changed or they were all sold or something... And the feeling is just different. I stopped in today for the first time in ages. And just needed to grab a couple of iced beverages for me & Mom. The counter person was quick and friendly (so that brought them up to 3 stars). But, seriously, the shop was trashed with food all over the floor and detritus all about. It makes me sad that this (my once fave PJs location) is so blah now.

PJ's has very good coffee, and I really like this location, as it has comfy seating upstairs and it's amidst all of the great shopping on Magazine. I usually drink regular joe, but sometimes go for an Americano, and theirs is excellent.

I love this local alternative to Starbucks. The coffee is really good and the atmosphere is reminiscent of 90s coffee houses. The staff was very friendly and this location is lovely.

Quaint location located within a shotgun house near Whole Foods. They offer indoor seating on comfy couches and chairs or out back on the patio. We chose inside. It features typical PJ's fare of coffees, teas and pastries. We had been out walking and shopping all day on Magazine, so it was a relaxing spot to cool off and kick back on a couch with a large iced tea.

Older man that works here was incredibly rude to me. Telling me that I touching everything and not buying anything when I was accompanying my friend who did purchase something. Then he decided to vape in front of my face I had to walk out I was so disgusted!

Although it has the bones of a good coffee shop, it falls well short of that potential. The help is a bit scatter brained and the coffee is ok. They served us a very stale chocolate cookie at an outrageous price. The place has a nice front sitting area along with a raised center area and nice back yard worth visiting. Just was not impressed especially for the price. Fortunately for them the local yuppies will continue to keep them in business.

Damn Pjs I really underestimated your spinach and feta croissant but that thing was DELICIOUS! It also comes with artichoke which makes it even better. I usually get the sausage and egg biscuit which is also quite good but they were out today so I went with the croissant and I am actually so glad they were out. The guy working with red hair (sorry didn't grab your name!) was really helpful, sweet, cute, and even gave me the Magazine st. discount since I volunteer at the yoga studio next door. Well played PJs, well played. I love coming here every Wednesday and will always continue to.

The coffee is terrible very bitter and over priced I was not offered the discount for working next door to them young lady was not attentive and they did not have sweetener I needed I asked and was told the closest one I will not buy coffee here again it tasted burnt and way too bitter also no hot flavored coffee. If you want burnt coffee here is your place Gets a 0 from me

Are you looking for fresh, carefully made coffee with wonderful service? Look no further, don't even go to a different Pj's location! This place tops all other coffee spots. What really puts the cherry on my sundae, is the customer service. I recently visited and ordered my usual hot mocha, which is a fairly simple order to fill and my expectations were met above and beyond my standards. Thanks especially to Bri Lentz who ensured she had everything exactly right with my order. I have never had someone ensure the quality of my brew was going to be exactly to my specifications so precisely. Hire more people like Bri and give that girl a raise! My visit was a bright spot in my day and I would recommend this location to anyone asking, make sure you tip your barista!

I'm all for local. I definitely think that there's absolutely no reason you should even think about Starbucks if you live in New Orleans and care about keeping its culture alive. PJ's is one of my favorites. The coffee here is much better than CCs. This is my favorite location. It's very comfortable and I always feel right at home here. Try a chocolate chip cookie, they're great.

This PJ's is right by Whole Foods. I really really like the Mocha Granita. With this weather, I need something cold with caffeine to wake me up. I did some of my homework in here and I had a relaxing and pretty quiet environment. Plugs are available to charge up laptops. Very nice. Me LIKE!

I don't care for their coffee, as I usually make my own cuban coffee, but my mom used to love it, so I went. Not cheap, but nice courtyard in the back. I have a friend that loves it.

Nice Location. Burnt coffee. The baked goods presentation does not look appealing. Since I came to Nola, I have discovered this chicory coffee, absolutely delicious and unique to New Orleans. I woke up and walked over to PJ's with the anticipation they will have brewed a nice cup of chicory coffee, not so much. They don'y have it at all!! A New orleans coffee chain that doesn't carry an authentic beverage. Huge loss for this place.

My old after-school PJ's, cleaned up with an actual proper back door that works. Still a little dodgy, and still filled with girls from Sacred Heart looking angry and smoking (though being on Facebook now instead of listening to C&C Music Factory on their Discman) No more NOCCA students, though. Fabulous iced coffee, nice staff, great bagels (but bring back the scoops of cream cheese-- those pots are crap!), and just good solid coffee. If they had semi-skimmed/2% milk, all would be well with the world.

Can't help but have a soft spot for PJ's, since I went to Tulane. Their hot coffee isn't spectacular, but their pastries are on point (from Laurel St bakery, I believe) and the rest of their drinks are addictively delicious. Though if you get an iced mocha, get the redheaded lady to make it. She's the best mocha maker!

The coffee is amazing. Its a laid back atmosphere, this was definitely my second coffee place during my visit.

I like this PJ's! And of course I'm all about supporting local businesses as well. This PJ's is in the heart of the Jefferson/Magazine street area. Tons of cute shops, restaurants, etc! They are building a drive through Walgreens here. Also there is the Whole Foods which is awesome albeit difficult to park. Then one of my favorite pizza joints Slice is here too. Also, Earthsavers has great massages and cute gift items in their shop! I usually get soy chai lattes when I hit a coffee shop. This pj's has a step with a back room for the serious studyents which is nice. Happy Coffe shop relaxing!

A fantastic courtyard,terrific atmosphere, and PJ's usual competent brew. Baristas are the traditional PJ's hipper-than-thou set, but friendly enough. Until. Our drama begins at 7:30 on any given weeknight. Certain baristas begin to feel that the night is dragging on too long. A customer coming in after 8 might detect a certain reluctance of manner. It is impossible to miss the pointed, repetitive-to-the-point-of-OCD sweeping of the sitting-rooms: a meaningful glare seems to say, "I have swept. You may leave. At. Any. Time. That. Suits. Yourgoddamself." A customer coming in at 8:30 might detect what can only be described as thinly veiled hostility. "Why," the barista seems to ask, "the f***k are you coming in here? I have neither the will nor the means to serve you." What he actually says is, "Oh, we seem to be out of...." (Note. They are probably not out of anything. Except patience. You are requiring energies that they require for going home to smoke weed.) At this stage, one does not yet suspect that the barista is spitting in one's iced coffee, but one begins to suspect that the barista would rather run an ice-pick through one's heart than serve one. If one comes in to the Magazine PJ's after 8:45, one can see the strain on the barista's face as he inquires, "How can I help you?" One suspects that what he means is, "Can I serve you a spermatazoa frappé followed by your own gore?" A pronounced we-are-about-to-close menace pervades the place. In a way, it's a sort of cosmic drama. It is sometimes a near thing whether the barista will leap over the counter and assault one, and so it is a bit like Camus' "The Stranger" in its existential momentum, or perhaps like Greek tragedy, the tightly wound spring and the inevitable hamartia leading to a fall. Naturally, everybody who has worked in food service knows this feeling, and has lobbied one's senator for a food-service exception to Murder Two. We all know what this is like. But the man is being asked to prepare a velvet cocoa, not a roast ox. In general, therefore, I enjoy this PJ's in the mid-morning, or the early afternoon. But there is too much of Paradise Lost about it after seven at night to recommend it. One day, it might well end up on the news.

PJ's is to Peet's what Community Coffee House is to Sbux. PJ's appears to be the more hipster, less mainstream coffee house of the region. Good coffee, adequate staff, typical cafe environment. Nuff said. Note that this particular location has a neat, little courtyard in the back. There are also some cool murals painted on the back fence.

Very friendly staff and superb iced coffe. While the interior has a coffee chain feeling to it, I love the garden which is nice and cosy with coloured light bulbs hung across the yard to brighten up a winter's eve. Definitely give it a go! c*

Coffee is good, food selection is on the very light side, but what I really like about this place is the atmosphere. Plenty of space to sit inside and is reasonably quiet. No annoying Starbuckian music - actually, I don't think they play music at all. Very much enjoy the outside courtyard in the back. Comfortable seating, and only the occasional cigarette smoker. My go to uptown location to sit and read or do light writing/work.

If you're a fan of an iced mochachokalalayaya on a hot humid day, stop in. If you want a cappuccino, you will be sad when you taste a watery latte made with some 1% milk and no foam.

This is one of my favorite hangout spots. It has a beautiful patio in the back. Also it's perfect for studying. They have benches and chairs in the front to sit and socialize as well. The baristas are nice as well. Would definitely recommend.

This PJ's has Nitro Brew Coffee. Best coffee ever, must drink it black. Do not add milk or any other nonsensical ingredients to it. It's naturally creamy, and no acidity. I wish all PJ's had Nitro Brew put in place at every location.

My home away from home. Provider of the best iced mochas and most eclectic staff in town, this P.J.'s is not to be passed up. Pull up a chair out front and watch all of the pretty people walk by.

I don't have too much to say about the coffee here; PJ's is generally pretty consistent. I will say that the staff are very friendly, and this PJ's actually has reliable wireless.

With a CCs on the same block, I've only been here once though it's minutes from my house. But on this rainy, chilly Sunday afternoon with CCs closed Bc of a holiday, I find myself giving PJs another go. Maybe it's just the rainy weather, but the inside areas appear especially cozy and great for sitting with a cup of coffee, a book or some friends and staying for awhile. Coffee is still same PJs, a bit too bitter for me to fully love

Classic PJ's in a great neighborhood. I lived here for many a year. This is one of the original locations, folks. It's got WiFi and a great patio hidden in the back. Above average service, but the Granita is hit-or-miss at best. Do not skip this location if you enjoy PJ's coffee, or if you have any taste in cafes at all. Within the Magazine Street shopping district, there are lots of nearby shops and boutiques. Don't miss it!

Decent cold brew, friendly service, free wifi, comfortable chairs. What more could you want? I am taking one star away for that abominable restroom. Christ it was ghastly in there. Shape that spider hole up and you have yourself a 5 star establishment!

A swell neighborhood coffee shop. PJ's was coffee when coffee wasn't cool. Lots of seating. I've never had a bad cup here, but seldom drink anything other than drip (iced or hot). Small gift selection. Just down from Whole Foods.

A small place in the large shopping center at Tchoupitoulas St. and Jefferson Ave. Friendly service and an assortment of coffee drinks. Got the Iced offee and it was very nice. Also a good place to obtain a GAMBIT and other papers that are free.

i really want to like this pj's. like, REALLY. it's a block away from my house, so for convenience purposes, i would really like to walk here for my morning coffee...or afternoon coffee...or evening coffee. i drink a lot of coffee. unfortunately, this location just doesn't cut it for me. i only recently started coming here (i had been going to CC's for years and the smaller velvet when i'm feeling frisky) for the seasonal wedding cake flavor coffee. every time it has been a disappointment. two times they were out of the flavor i wanted. One time when i went in in the afternoon/early evening, i stood at the counter for 10 minutes and NO ONE helped me. after leaving, i realized the guy i had walked past smoking a cigarette outside was actually the employee, and he just decided to keep on a smoking while i waited. i was able to actually purchase the drink i came for twice (wedding cake velvet ice), but the drink was completely different recipe each time. there was no consistency in the flavor to coffee ratio. one time the girl at the counter even told me she couldn't do a wedding cake velvet ice! which was funny, because they have them on signs... i've worked in the industry for a few years in my past, so i am familiar with the problems the employees face, but here it seems like poor management (improper training on drink mixture recipes) and employees who don't care (sitting outside smoking, not making a new batch of the flavored ice coffee, apparently for days) will be the downfall of this pjs. plus, its just dirty! needless to say, i won't be coming to this location ever. again. BUT, while the wedding cake coffee is still around, i will make the trek over to maple street and get one at that location. the drinks from there are great and the recipe is consistent!
