PJ's Coffee — Restaurant in Eatonton

My boyfriend and I like to stop here sometimes on our way to Atlanta from Augusta after we discovered it while in town about a year ago. Today’s trip was incredibly disappointing. We walked in around 1:45, and the store closes at 3:00. We ordered two iced drinks, several pastries and a ham, egg, and cheese croissant that we wanted warmed, and a Cuban sandwich. The drinks were fine. Then, the young woman who took our order came out to tell us that they were shutting off their ovens and that they could not warm our pastries and croissant. This was easily more than an hour before close. Not wanting to cause issue or go through the process of a refund (which wasn’t even offered), I told her I would just eat it cold—an ice cold ham, egg, and cheese croissant—not super yummy. A few minutes later, she came back to say that they were out of Cuban sandwiches, so she made a different one. She didn’t ask what we wanted, she didn’t offer a refund, she just gave us a sandwich we did not order that had uncooked bacon on it. Just a warning to others—don’t go an hour before close if you’re expecting a warm meal. Their ovens might be off, they’ll sell you the food anyway, and then serve it ice cold with no refund.

ETA: An affiliate reached out, and he is sending a gift card so that we can try again. He seemed genuinely concerned, and he will be speaking to the manager of this store. We are willing to try again, and I will update when I do. Adding one star.

ETA 6/7/2022: We finally had time to stop by today. It was a MUCH better experience. Kind and knowledgeable staff. Drinks were great, and the food was...

I always try to find a PJ'S COFFEE OF NOLA whenever I travel. This one is very nicely set up, quiet music, clean, (except bathroom which is not in the PJ'S) & has all the good offerings. I had a good tasting decaf Breve' with a turkey & swiss on cibatta.

The Granita is usually so good & my favorite drink by far, but the staff needed to "recharge" the unit, so it wasn't the taste I like; therefore, I settled for a mocha protein velvet ice instead.

Got served promptly & accurately, but don't expect friendly or appreciative staff unless the owner/managers are there.

Will go back again each time...

My girls and i got here and we're so excited to get some delicious beignets, since the pj's near us closed down recently..... When we arrived and i ecstatically asked for some beignets the rude cashier said "we don't have that🙄" ummm excuse me? Why do you market yourself as "pj's coffee OF NEW ORLEANS" what is so new Orleans about you if you don't sell the best and signature menu item? I'm disappointed with how mean the girl was and how i'll probably never have another delicious bite of the delicacy that we're pj's coffee beignets. DON'T COME IF YOU'RE...
