PJ's Coffee — Restaurant in New Orleans

I’ve been frequenting this PJ’s for ~2 years (and, throughout high school 10 years ago). Despite the flavors of cold brew changing from barista to barista (often fairly nasty), and having had to hear about numerous interpersonal conflicts from employees, I’ve ignored the issues bc Izzy, Jeffrey, and so many of the staff are so kind. Not this evening.

On 10/09, who ever was working the store at around 6:30pm told me that it’s there standard process to close the back at night. I asked “since when”, and he said “since forever”, and I said “really?”, he sarcastically rolled his eyes and said “sorry to break it to you”, and then turned around.

Honestly, I waste the money on y’all’s coffee (it’s bad) for the space and good vibes, but I will not be returning again.You can validate that I’m a true customer through my name/500+ points sitting in your system.

For clarity, had this new employee simply said “I’m new and scared to keep the back open”, I wouldn’t have minded. It was the lying to my face, and then saying “sorry to break it to you” that sealed the deal. Super uncomfortable experience.

I think this might have been the worst coffee shop experience I have ever had. So much so that this is the first coffee shop I haven’t tipped at. The manager should consider firing the man with the receding hairline and overalls. From the first sentence I spoke to him I felt like an annoyance. I asked if they had white mocha and he rolled his eyes. Then my friend wanted to pay for me but we both put our cards out. He said “I’m not playing that game, I just need a card.” I cannot imagine seeing a kind interaction and then deciding to bring both individuals down. I have actually been a barista before, and no matter what type of day I was having, I have never treated any customer like that. To put it plainly, that is a mean-spirited man. My friend asked him, “Are you having a good day?” And he said “No😡”

Also, the food is straight from Costco and the red haired barista deserves a raise. She should not have to split any tips with the bald old man. You’re at least 50, control your emotions.

I can only speak on the Pjs on magazine st. If you are looking for coffee on magazine, the caramel latte at undergrowth is so good! Plus the barista and atmosphere was an...

PJ's coffee is one of the best roasters in New Orleans, with many locations throughout the city and region. This particular store on Magazine Street is always clean, staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is fantastic. The courtyard is a truly peaceful spot, with beautiful alcoves equipped with comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy coffee with friends, or read/study in. Inside, the store features several lounge-style rooms with cafe tables and couches. Overall it is generally a quiet and upscale coffee shop, while much less expensive than many national chain...
