About PJ's Coffee

In 2008, the company was purchased by New Orleans natives and brothers, Paul, Steven, and Scott Ballard. PJs Coffee serves a wide variety of hot, iced, and frozen coffee beverages using only the top 1% of Arabica beans, as well as organic tea and fresh breakfast pastries. PJs 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 PJs locations. Bags of whole bean coffee and single-serve cups of PJs Coffee are available for sale in-store and online. With more than 145 operating stores, including four international locations, PJs Coffee continues to grow in the U.S. and abroad.
