Pj’s Coffee

I’ve been to several stores in the area, and the coffee is consistently good and the flavored coffee is some of the best I’ve had
The employees are mostly the same everywhere, it’s hard to get kids to care about service these days.
They are no better or no worse than other chains

I absolutely love this place! I go there atleast 5 times a week & I am always greeted with a smile & friendly face! The staff does an amazing job, they actually care about their customers. They do great at paying close attention to what their customers like, some mornings I go in & let the barista pick a delicious brew for me! Why not?! They are the experts! On some days I will even indulge in one of their tasty pastries, the best is the warm banana nut muffins first thing in the morning! Yum! Overall this is just a hell of a great place any way you look at it, from early morning coffee & muffin before work to meeting with friends to just reading a book & relaxing! If you want to feel like your welcome & amongst friends then definitely stop in & ask the barista to brew you something delicious!

Geez, I feel like I just showed up unannounced at my angry Aunt’s house and had the nerve to ask her to make me a latte.
Coffee was ok. The girl taking my order was pleasant but she forgot about the two food items I ordered. When I reminded and told her one was for here and one was to go, she just put them both in paper bags and handed them to me.
My main problem was the person making our drinks. Who I suspect, from the attitude may have been the manager. There’s no better way to say it, she was just rude as f*ck!
Made us feel like we were harassing her by just being there. Rude. Rude and MEAN even. Made us feel very unwelcome. I can easily say she’s in the top 3 of the rudest service, I have ever received. Ever.
And the store was NOT busy, it was very quiet and peaceful in there. Seemed like a good atmosphere, except for her. We just left. Immediately.
First time there and it will be my last.
So, lady, just so you know, you’re pretty awful. Please find a job you are happier with, preferably one where you won’t have to interact with the public.

Great place to grab a cup of mid day coffee. Coffee is good enough (and very consistent) and the staff is always nice.

When I used to live out near this PJ’s, I would go often. I am so impressed with the cleanliness, service and quality of my coffee drinks every time I go. I will still go when I am out in that area of town because I know they will properly grind my coffee beans and one of the staff (I think he is the manager) still remembers my drink and how I need my coffee ground. Although PJ’s is now officially a «chain» and «corporate» I am very pleased with this particular location.

I purchased a bagel from the counter baristas. I toasted the bagel and the toaster almost burned the bagel on setting 2. I went to the barista and asked for butter. The guy, who did not have a PJ’s shirt on, pointed to the condiment area and said its over there. I told him it was not and they checked in the back. They did not have any butter.
The coffee is fine in this PJ’s, but the service sucks!

Used to patronize regularly thanks to the quality product and good customer service. Regularly ordered, from the menu, what is listed as a Hot Chai Tea and asked that no milk be added. It was never a problem until the Manager said that he would not serve it without milk and that he did not care whether I had gotten it before– he would not serve me. After calling Corporate and speaking to the store Owner, the Manager said that without milk the Hot Chai Tea would be a $ 12. drink. If so, then I should have been given the option of purchasing the $ 12 drink not rudely told that he «didn’t care» and that he wouldn’t serve it without milk to me under any conditions. I understand that PJs has to make money and if they are losing money by not diluting the chai with milk, then by all means, make a higher priced option available– but do it with a modicum of friendly customer service. BTW– went to another PJs that same day and received a large Hot Chai Tea without milk for $ 4.95. So, if you have any dietary restrictions, be aware– the manager of this PJs does not care.

Coffee is pretty good and compared to any other coffee place in the area, it is a well-​deserved & relative 4-​star establishment.
Sometimes the staff can be jerks but guess what?
You are in the armpit of America.
You, as the customer, are doing every employee paid to serve you a favor by asking them to do their job. You get that concept and that part of NOLA is easy like Sunday morning.

Pros: the fastest free public wi-​fi that I have ever seen. Speed test returned 27.4 Mbps, which is faster than what I usually get at home.
Cons: 4.25 seems high for a small mocha, I thought Starbucks prices were outrageous until coming here. Maybe that’s the price I have to pay for fast wifi.

I love this PJ’s because they make the single most perfect iced mocha. The staff is friendly and they don’t appear to have a lot of turnover. They are quick, but not too chatty.
The place is spacious and great for grabbing a cup of Joe solo, or with company. Plenty of seating and free wi-​fi meet your local neighborhood coffee shop expectations. I also like that they have options other than breakfast goodies. They obviously accommodate the lunch crowd with sandwich offerings, which is nice.
It’s my favorite PJ’s since I abandoned the Maple Street location — not because anything was wrong with it, once I finish my schooling uptown, I no longer found myself in the area.
Support local!

When in the mood, I’ve gotten into a bit of a habit of stopping in while running errands on Friday mornings and treating myself to a good cup of coffee that I didn’t have to brew. Of course, it is after the morning rush so I don’t really know what is like during that time of day. The location is a little hidden, facing Mounes rather than right in the Elmwood shopping center. The place always has a few people, using the free wi-​fi or just reading. Makes life easy having the daily wi-​fi code published on the receipt.
It started as a local chain and had been sold to out of state investors, but local people (same as run WOW) bought them a couple years ago. So I would prefer to spend my money locally rather than give Starbucks my cash.
It has a friendly staff, I never have to wait to catch their attention. There is plenty of room and places to sit inside and enjoy the coffee as well as a couple of tables outside. They still have their wine bar in the store even though they never followed through on the idea. Nor have they changed the sign out front. I always thought it was a good idea that would bring some traffic in the evenings. Alas…

This PJs is good if I’m driving home from work and need a caffeine fix before taking the Huey P Long Bridge (who knows how long I’ll be waiting on the bridge, after all).
My only complaint, ever, is that they offered a coupon on their website for a free trial of their Southern Wedding Cake blend iced coffee. I printed this thing out and went on 3 different occaisions after work to try and sample it — they were constantly sold out. I mean, it’s probably my fault for going to get coffee at 5pm, but still irritating. I always ended up purchasing another drink, though, and I enjoy just about everything on their menu.
I’m hoping that Wedding Cake blend isn’t such a limited time offering that I can still purchase it to try it.
Anywho, great drinks (tea, coffee… try them all!), delicious treats, and a free WiFi code printed on your receipt. Best of all, great location for those of us working in Metairie who live on the Westbank and take the Huey each day.

I don’t know how to say this, so I’ll come right out. My ex got y’all in the settlement agreement. It’s a shame because the Elmwood and River Ridge PJ’s coffee are my two favorite locations. Central, en route to a good chunk of places I need to go. The staff know me, and even at Elmwood when I went recently, I got a «Where have you been? I haven’t seen you in forever.»
I’m sorry that means I’ll frequent your location less, but remember you’ll always have a place in my heart.
This is a good location, friendly staff, plenty of places to sit, and I’m in and out pretty quickly when I’m just stopping in for coffee and a muffin or other snacky thing.

At first glance, you’d think a coffee shop in Elmwood would be off my beaten path. It’s really not, since Elmwood is a great portal (via the Earhart Expressway) to Uptown NOLA, or (via the Huey P. Long Bridge) to the West Bank. There’s also enough shopping to make it a good place to start a day that involves retail errands.
The PJ’s on Mounes is big and airy. There’s actually a bar in the back, too. If I have the story right, this location was originally built by a franchisee who was going to get a liquor license and serve adult beverages in the evenings. There’s some logic to this, given the proximity to the big AMC theater complex and Elmwood Fitness Center. This plan didn’t come to fruition, though, but the place is still big, open, and a great work environment.
It’s also a very busy location in the mornings! The traffic is almost all in-​and-​out, although there a few folks who actually sit down long enough to enjoy their coffee. Like most busy coffee shops, the pastries are usually warm and fresh. The regular baristas are attentive and know what they’re doing.
The wi-​fi here is solid, but the number of power outlets near tables is minimal. Still, this isn’t a big med-​student/​nursing-​student hangout, which is a refreshing change.
