About PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans Franchise

PJ's Coffee of New Orleans was founded in 1978 by Phyllis Jordan, a pioneer in the coffee industry that demonstrated better beans, superior roasting techniques, and pure passion for the art of coffee-making. PJ's Coffee serves a wide variety of hot, iced, and frozen coffee beverages, as well as organic tea and fresh breakfast pastries.

PJ's famous iced coffees are brewed daily using a special cold-drip process that protects the flavor and strength of the beans while producing a coffee that is 2/3 less acidic - a process pioneered by our founder. Bags of whole bean coffee and single-serve cups of PJ's Coffee are available for sale in-store and online.

PJ’s Products

As a PJ’s Coffee franchisee, you’ll have access to our full line of specially crafted products. We take pride in utilizing only the top 1% of Arabica coffee beans and never keep our roasts on the shelf for more than 90 days. Our fresh, high-quality drinks are rooted in tradition and help us provide customers with the southern hospitality they can expect from a New Orleans experience.

PJ’s works directly with the coffee farmers on the Finca Terrerito Farm in Honduras. Because there’s no need for a middleman, we’re able to pay our farmers 50% more than the average rate. We’re recognized for supporting sustainability from farm to cup and sharing our gourmet coffee with customers around the world.

From classic drinks to modern favorites, our line of coffee products is something to savor.
