Just what I was looking for when ordering a hot cup of coffee in a coffee shop. The very basic is that it should come hot and they should have at least a decent regular, non-flavored cup of coffee, this place met those basics, it pass my litmus test, I can recommend this establishment for regular coffee drinkers like me. Just came back from Hawaii and tried several specialty coffee shops there, 2 out of 3 failed the basics and one even asked me if I wanted my room temperature coffee re-heated, Kilauea Coffee in Hilo Hawaii was a big fail. read more

I've been coming to this Algiers PJ's for more years than I can count-- ever since it's original location was next to when there used to be a Blockbuster! So with that, I can say with full confidence that this PJ's never misses. Every trip I've made here, I've left satisfied and so happy that this PJ's location has held on for so long. The workers are always so friendly and it's a great spot to get some studying/work done. PJ's is one of the best establishments to enter Algiers, and I hope it continues doing well for many more years to come. Also - there's a super convenient & speedy drive-thru! read more

A beautiful and quaint space with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere! With the library recently closed, I've been able to come here and get some work done. The music is good and the noise level is super reasonable. The drinks are also very nice, and the pastries always look so scrumptious. A nice little neighborhood spot for sure! read more

The brand PJ' s is simply the best coffee in New Orleans ! On the top of it it is local and way better than some awful national brands ...

I visit the Algiers Location almost daily to get my coffee before my work day starts. I have a very specific order and it's delicious every time. I leave happy, satisfied and ready to start my day. I'm in education so my coffee is key. The staff is wonderful and they remember my order without me having to say it. This location is very clean and extremely kind and professional even during rush hours. I live on the eastbank but will drive to this weatbank location just to get my coffee made by Bri and Jenn... they are amazing! I tell them all the time, my business will follow them to whatever location they decide to go. I've never had anything less than a wonderful experience. read more

Anytime I visit NOLA I have to make PJs stop to start my day. Staying with some relatives on the Westbank so this location was the closest. For the sake of time and space, I ended up having to go to SB due to poor service and lack of inventory. There's no sense of urgency whatsoever...2 days in a row. So I unfortunately will not be returning to this location. read more

Ethan is a superstar! they have him working alone though, must be super stressful. amazing drinks and service otherwise!

This place is not what it used to be. The coffee is either too strong or too watered down. The staff does not know the menu and will consistently mess up my order. I keep trying them hoping that the last visit was an off day, it's been 3 times in a row and each time it has been worse than the last. read more

I just got coffee from this location and they gave me flavored milk. Truly horrible. The barista was not kind.

Emily just made me the most delicious velvet ice, I took one sip and couldn't stop after! The inside was very clean, I enjoyed sitting in the booth and working on my laptop. Both of the girls working are very friendly. read more

This place was my go to for my morning coffee and breakfast this year and recently they've crashed. They must have had a major staff turnover and the replacement staff has not been trained to the level of the former. If management was smart, they'd go find the former staff and offer them double the raises they probably asked for to come back. If not, someone else will be leading that space within 2 years. read more

Everything is always hot and ready with my online pickup order. The staff is always nice and very welcoming! I love the vibe of this location! It is my favorite location to go to! read more

The muffin was hard and veggie & eggs was horrible . I went through the drive thru and the little boy with the twist in his hair was courteous or friendly. I had to ask for the receipt and even once it was given to me not at any point did he say...Have a nice day or Thank you for coming . You need to do better when training your staff. Because I am one and done with this location. Anyone that reads this review DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION it's terrible read more

I got a white chocolate latte and a ham and swiss croissant. I guess they forgot to put the white chocolate along with my debit card! I had to come back and get both! SMH. in addition to that, when he handed me the croissant, he offered to take it back and warm it up. shouldn't they have already been done?! do NOT recommend. would've been faster to just wait in line at Starbucks. read more

Seriously overpriced, my specialty coffee was not even close to returning at another time.

Service is getting slower and slower which is disappointing. And today when I came in it was busy and slow and a young lady looked as if she was checking inventory under the cream/sugar station and around the restaurant, which I understand, but maybe help out if it is that busy....or at least maybe notice the dead roach on the counter that she walked right by. read more

PJ's Coffee - Dead roach on counter. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Firstly, the young lady working here is really sweet, recommend things and was very informative far as communication. Far as the tall heavy set dude with curly hair... RUDE. I was waiting in line with my husband and he bumped into me without saying excuse me and my purse fell. Definitely wouldn't recommend this location..do not sell beignets read more

Three times I tried to get their cinnamon roll and they were out. They don't do the new beignets and their address shows up wrong for delivery drivers so my order never shows up. I won't be going back to this location. read more

This PJ's Coffee is one of the only coffee shops in Algiers so it's popular by default. We came here two days in a row for a jolt of caffeine to start the morning. It's a small shop located in a strip mall off General De Gaulle. Here are a few quick pros and cons: PROS --They open at 6AM during the week and only an hour later on the weekend. --There's a drive thru--perfect for people who can't will themselves to get out their car before their first dose of coffee. The convenience is certainly a plus. --The pastry case features everything you would expect from a coffee shop including muffins, croissants, cinnamon rolls, donuts and granola bars. CONS --Expect long wait times and limited seating depending on the time of day. Like I said, it's the only option for miles. At times, the entrance is a revolving door of customers streaming in and out. The parking lot and drive thru were busy on both days we visited. I don't know what it'll take to get another coffee shop in the area but until then PJ's coffee is a dependable option. read more

Thank you for the $35 dollar cold frozen sandwich...... go elsewhere and save your money

The employees at this PJ's are amazing. Sometimes my life requires that I consume massive amounts of caffeine twice a day. I normally stop on my way to work, then again mid day. It's those mid-day stops that bring me to this PJ's and help me survive the day. Located in what I remember as Aurora Village, this shopping area bears almost no similarities to the 1980s or 90s versions I remember from growing up. In fact, PJ's is located now around where Godfather's Pizza or the road leading to the Movie Theater would've been back then. That may not mean much to any of you who are reading this so I'll move on. PJ's is located in a kind of out of the way spot from where it used to be. In fact, had it not been for Yelp and a sign stuck in the grass on DeGaulle, I would've never found this location. My experiences here involve the drive thru which is a bit oddly designed. There's no real good way to get back to DeGaulle other than make a u-turn as you get your coffee. Besides that, this location has been great. As I mentioned before, it's the employees here who make it so great. The coffee is the same as any PJ's, which is to say, very good, but the people are stellar. Regardless of which employee I encounter at the drive-thru, they are happy to see me, friendly, humble, appreciative, and just downright great. So here's to you PJ's employees. Thanks for making my afternoon coffee even better. read more

PJ's coffee is a staple of New Orleans coffee scene. I do enjoy their velvet ices and especially their frozen hot chocolate. I don't know how they mix in the exact flavor of hot chocolate in a cold drink but it works! They usually have fun, seasonal drinks as well. They offer food that can range from packaged yogurt to bagels, but the real star is their muffins. The chocolate muffins are super rich (sometimes too rich), and I enjoy their cappuccino chocolate chip muffins too. This location has a drive through which is a big perk!!! The staff here has always been lovely too. read more

PJ's has been my go to for the past couple of weeks for me to catch up on paperwork and grab a nice cup of joe. The ladies that has been working there in the AM are very pleasant and work very fast. You can see people come in and stay no longer than 4-5 minutes. They are very accommodating to many orders as many people have special requests throughout. I don't mind this place since there is a new Starbucks opened in the area as it is less crowded and less noisy to do work. I would recommend anybody to utilize this location for business and/or coffee. read more

GREAT Place to sit down and take care of work. Wifi isn't the best but reading a book here would make your day. Velvet ICE coffee's are bomb. read more

This place was a little hard to find. My coworker and I did a few circles before one of us spotted it next to the fitness center. I came here to do some work on the computer. There were outlets everywhere and pretty comfortable seating. I had a large hot chocolate and two cookies. The coco was decent, not the best but not the worst. The two cookies were soft and tasty. read more

I've been a customer ( 5 days per week) to PJs in Algiers for over 15 years. Also go to the belle chasse location perhaps 1-2 times. The Algiers location is closer for me. Most of the time I get a latte and a pastry. In the past few months, my pastries have been way under cooked. I've spoke to the staff about this. They were all receptive and polite. This morning, I first tried a cinnamon roll and then a scone. Both were well under baked. I hope this can be addressed and corrected. I love my Algiers PJs coffee and the staff. Just another side note: the Belle Chasse store has much more variety of pastries. This past week, I asked the manager about the cinnamon roll muffins that the BC store has. I was told Algiers store wasn't going to offer that because cinnamon rolls were already on the menu. That just doesn't make sense to me being that you have blueberry scones and also blueberry muffins. I'm hoping to hear back from the owner and see some results and continue to support and enjoy my PJs read more

Worst customer service ever! And my Med iced coffee took about 20 mins. Never again!!!

I ordered a pretty basic black coffee but it satisfied me enough. The staff was really nice and area was very clean! I recommend also wearing a jacket because it does get cold in there often if you plan to study there too and it's also pretty empty so you won't be bothered too much by too many people coming in and out like in Starbucks! read more

Pretty good PJ's with nice booths and free WiFi if you have work to do. I stopped in here to get my usual iced coffee and it was the usual good PJ's coffee that I really like. My one complaint about the place is they wouldn't honor a coupon I had. They explained that the coupon could only be honored at certain locations, but there was nothing on the coupon that said that- it just said I could use it at any PJ's location. Anyway, I went to my regular PJ's a few days later and they not only honored the coupon, but they told me that it can be honored at any PJ's and the folks at this place screwed up. Long story short: the staff here didn't know what was going on. Other than that, the place is okay. read more

I frequent PJ's since I live so close. I always get the latte with almond milk and 3 Stevia. It's delicious! My hubby gets the regular latte or granita. I typically get my son the almond croissant and often times we're going there by his request. They don't get 5 stars because they are regularly out of whatever croissant I order AND they lack in selection. They don't have much options for gluten intolerance or vegan diet. I'm allergic to milk so both are very important. Other than that, coffee is great and the staff are all super friendly! read more

Good coffee and pastries, semi-private wi-fi (always use a VPN!), nice friendly staff, great regulars, clean bathrooms. The music makes me suicidal. It's horrible. Major drawback: They REALLY back up during morning rush and other peaks. They have a lot of elaborate drinks that take forever to make, and there's generally only two baristas at work, who have to manage the drive-thru as well as the front counter. 13 minute wait this morning. UPDATED: Their weekday morning A-Team could go to Barista Olympics and take gold with almost insolent ease. A surplus star for the Morning Girls. read more

Since I work in the area this is my go to place for morning coffee. I love the Granitas and velvet ice coffee. I'm always in and out really fast. Don't usually indulge in the baked goods but they always look delicious Pros: less crowded than the neighboring starbucks and better service Cons: seating area is usually messy in the afternoons read more

First off let me say the employee we encountered inside was extremely friendly and welcoming! The iced tea and coffee were perfectly decent. But I have to say this place is filthy!! None of the four empty tables was remotely clean. Drive through looks busy.... read more

I love that this location has a drive thru, but the design is horrible. The ordering microphone is one car away from the pick up window. Plus the line is always so long, you end up blocking people in that need to leave the parking lot. The great thing is the coffee and pastries are wonderful there. read more

Easy in and out at the drive-through for my granita. The drive through is important because during the workday I'm wearing my uniform, which I am not allowed to wear off base. The granite was good, as always. read more

I wish this place was a little cleaner. I've never seen anyone step from behind the counter to change the trash. I was there last week and it was literally overflowing. I love their food especially the spinach croissant and their tropical green tea. Other than that..the bathrooms are clean and my service is quick because I avoid morning hours. But the girls know how to get the line down and get orders correct. read more

The wifi is horrible. That's a deal breaker. The coffee is good; its PJ's. Our last trip there, this morning, I had to tell the counter person 3 times what my order was. Not sure what that was about. I liked the Old site better. read more

Told Could not toast croissant or cut in half but asked server to try as had served that way before and get routinely at other establishments. Served a croissant not cut and smashed flatter than a pancake. Then, no butter. Out of butter at 10:30. Doh. read more

I have not yet been inside but I love the new convenience of the drive thru. When I am tired before or after work I can just zip on through and be on my way! read more
