Wanted to shop local for breakfast. We had a few issues and instead just went to Starbucks. Ordered online around 10:00 and several items weren't available upon pick up of the order. Had to get a refund for two out of the four items. It happens right! The bagel chosen was supposed to come with cream cheese and I didn't realize it until I was already back at the house. So a plain bagel for breakfast. Hope for better service next time. read more

Stopped in to try the beignets as they were highly recommended by the staff at Southeast aesthetics. The establishment has a cute new Orleans theme and it's very clean and welcoming located in Elgin off of exit 82 quite easy to access. Customer service was exceptional and the beignets were a 10 out of 10 I would definitely take that drive time after time for the beignets! I really think the owner should have a beignet and coffee food truck to show up at local events. It would definitely be a showstopper. read more

Was in town visiting family and stopped by here to grab a quick drink. I got the chai tea with oat milk. It was pretty good. A bit flat in flavor but did the job. I really appreciated them having a drive thru, and service was good. read more

Wanted to try the coffee & particularly the beignets here: coffee was okay, beignets were mediocre, taste like fried bread rather than light & puffy dough. The customer service was basically non existent, the young workers were more interested in talking to each other- rather than serving their customers. read more

They are gone low and it's a good thing. The management sucked, the employees they had sucked and could care less working there, they were always out of something. The drive through never worked often So bye read more

The Food is delicious!! Nice mom & pop vibe with a New Orleans Vibe. Let me start by saying BEIGNETS BEIGNETS BEIGNETS!! The are fresh and appear to be made to order because they were still hot after a 10 min drive. The coffee was flavorful & delicious. I had the Pralines & Cream Latte, a bacon , egg, and cheese biscuit with the beignets, of course. The prices were very reasonable and it beats a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts any day! Do yourself a favor & grab some . read more

Honey Oat Milk Latte and Blueberry Muffin = Delicious! I rode by this place twice and said that I would try them out. Today was the day! The dining room was filled with patrons. I didn't take pictures of it because of this. But it was very clean. I was greeted at the door by the staff and by the person whom I believe to be the manager. I informed them that this was my first time coming and they gave me some fan favorites...which is the honey oat milk latte. I ordered the muffin to go with my latte. It was warmed up before I left. Still warm by the time I got home, I just put a little more warmth to it by placing it in my toaster oven and I warmed up my latte in the microwave. They are definitely onto something with this latte! It is sweet, but not overly sweet. You get a hint of honey and just an overall balanced latte. I for sure will order again. The staff was very helpful the whole time. Very pleasant experience! See you all soon! read more

If you are looking for the best tasting beignets outside of New Orleans, then this is your place! The service is always great even with a young staff. It's a nice spot to meet friends in NE Columbia. read more

Ordered an iced mocha latte, quite possibly the worst I've ever had. Just a big cup or milk and sugar.

This is a hidden gem. I knew I wanted to try the beignets but wasn't sure about what drink. I opted for the honey oat latte which was good. I was skeptical when I first saw the drink but it turned out to be really good. If you like sweet, you will like this. It's not very creamy but not too bitter. The beignets are made fresh to order so be prepared to wait but it's so worth it. They were AMAZING! Hot, fresh, light and fluffy! They are best to eat either right then or once you get home. They taste okay later but not as fluffy. I will definitely be back . read more

PJ's Coffee. Have you been there yet? Let me start with the warm greeting from the young ladies working there. It was really refreshing to walk in a business and be greeted with such exuberance and smiles. I ordered the 6 beignets with strawberry dipping sauce (they had other dipping sauce flavors) and a White chocolate latte and we ordered a Americano with triple shot espresso. The coffee was hot flavorful and delicious. I've had beignets in New Orleans and a few other places. These were hot delectable fresh and amazing!! We sat inside at one of the tables. The place was clean, neat and gave that comfy cafe feel. This was by far one of the best coffee shops i've been too. They have a wide array of beverages hot and cold along with pastries and sandwiches. Make PJ's a must stop for you. read more

Great food and coffee! Staff was really friendly and the inside was clean and cozy. Will return!

I went to BJ's to try the beignets never had it before and it was delicious. I also bought the best tasting coffee I have ever had the caffeine coffee kept me up all night so I can't drink that, but I went back and had the decaffeinated coffee it's so good and more beignet. read more

The red bull watermelon refresher was lovely, and some of the staff were friendly, but it was pretty disappointing to pay $8 for quite literally a piece of bread with only ham and Swiss on it. Fun decor inside, would be a nice place to work remote. read more

Nice place. The coffee is good. Service was a little slow but nothing to complain about to the staff.

Do not go to PJs coffee the customer service is absolutely horrible. They make you wait 10 minutes or more for your food and drinks and they do not honor the customers request once again, Do not go to PJs. read more

Perfect little spot and everything was amazing and the beignets tasted just like New Orleans

The beignets are delicious. The are light and airy they just melt in your mouth. The coffee here is great too. Staff here are also knowledgeable about the coffee. read more

The service was ok and they were nice enough, but the coffee was really really bad, we asked for light flavoring and it tasted like they filled the whole cup with syrup. Would not recommend read more

Coffee reminds me of home (New Orleans)! Got the cafe au lait and an order of beignets. I'm bias toward Cafe du Monde, but these come the closest so far in the Columbia area. Coffee was strong, and service was fast. Prices are reasonable, and they have a rewards program. They offer fun seasonal flavors that I look forward to trying. I went through the drive-thru, but peeking in, it looks like a nice quiet coffee shop to study, get work done, or for one of those first get-to-know-you dates. read more

Stop by for a quick cup of coffee discovered an awesome establishment along with a friendly staff and awesome customer service.Nice and clean coffee shop perfect for a morning coffee run.The Beignets are awesome definitely recommend stopping by great menu options and good prices read more

PJ's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elgin, South Carolina

They opened up recently and when I tell you I pray they get all the business because they deserve it! The location is easy to get to. They have a drive through if you don't want or can't sit in. The inside was nicely decorated. Very modern yet nice cafe vibe to it. They offer so many nice pastries and breakfast items I wanted to try them all honestly. I ordered a regular coffee with hazelnut flavoring and cream but they have so many options and flavor variations to choose from. I also ordered a spinach spanikopita, Turkey sausage egg and cheese sandwich and an order of beignets. It was all delicious!!! Trust me when I say this, delicious! The beignets were the star of the show! They were heavenly! I almost ordered some to go they were that good! The service was excellent! The staff was so nice and knowledgeable. Even chatted with me while I ate. You need to go for the beignets and coffee if nothing else! I'll definitely be back! read more

Whoever you have scheduled on November 19 at 1:50 PM should be fired because I sat at the drive-through speaker for five minutes and then decided to drive to the window and wait there too and no one ever came. I don't understand why people even go to work if they're not gonna do their job.??? read more

Amazing place. Great environment. I love the pastries. Not everyone who works there speaks to you as you enter but for the many that do, it makes the experience great. The beignets are heavenly! read more

A wonderful place to have a cup of coffee and relax. The staff is extremely friendly and very kind. I had lost a pair of AirPods, or one of them one time and the manager. I believe he was the manager came out to assist me and looking in the parking lot for it. This shows the quality of service and the appreciation they have for their customers how we recommended definitely return there as often as we can. read more

Was looking for a local coffee shop to call home. After a couple of google searches, I stumbled upon PJs coffee and was delighted to see that they served coffee, breakfast sandwiches AND beignets. I could not wait to visit this location. My first visit was during the morning. I was happy to see there were no customers in the drive thru which made my wait time pretty short. Upon ordering, I requested the eggs, cheese and sausage bagel and asked if I substitute the pork sausage for turkey sausage, the employee stated that I could. I then confirmed that the sausage would be turkey, she said that it would. I even went the extra mile to say that I could NOT eat pork. She understood and explained that it would be turkey. After paying for my meal and heading home, there was a voice in my head telling me to check the sandwich. And I'm glad I did, I had a strange feeling about the meat and noticed that it looked like pork and tasted like it also. I discarded the piece that I ate and threw the sausage patty away and made my own turkey sausage to place on the bagel sandwich. I felt like I was being over dramatic but I rather do that than mistakenly eat pork. My second visit was today and I decided to visit in the afternoon. I made the same request for a turkey sausage and was told that the sandwiches were PRE MADE! Meaning there's no way for them to change the meat to turkey sausage. Which also meant that I was sold a pork sandwich when I was explicitly told that it would be turkey sausage on the previous visit. I felt disgusted and devastated. I then explained to the employee that I was told something different from the last visit and he responded with "sorry". I plan to call the manager to alert him/her about the mishap. I would hate for this happen to anyone else. Also- I downloaded the app to earn rewards but the Elgin location is not on the app. The app allows you to order items and earn double stars and even place an order ahead of time. Without the location being on the app, I can only enter my number when paying and earn stars then. read more

Love this place! Great drinks and great staff. Really nice inside and a great place to get some coffee

Disappointing. My husband got a Chai Latte and it tasted like water. We probably won't go back.

The employees were great and the beignets are fantastic! The service was great! Can't wait to go back!

Good coffee and fabulous beignets. Served fresh and hot. Service is a little slow but worth the wait.

Adorable little alternative to the major coffee chain we all know and love or hate. PJ's is also a chain, new to this area, and we love the atmosphere, cleanliness, and every employee (but one younger female manager) we have encountered has been so friendly. Love their menu and everything we've tried to date is delicious! They have a drive through too. Check them out! read more

Met three of my friends here this morning. I'd heard about this from the Cola Eats group on Facebook. I was told they had great Beignets and also Chicory Coffee, so we all decided to go and have a "Cafe du Monde" experience. I was disappointed that they didn't have chicory coffee, but they do have very good beignets. I asked the girl taking orders if they had chicory coffee and she had never heard of it (although she said she was from Louisiana!). I googled PJ's Coffee when I got home and see it is based out of New Orleans and they do have chicory coffee there, but apparently don't have it at this site.....Oh well, I had a coffee and 3 beignets. They were very good. Coffee was also good. The scones and breads under their glass case look very good and I'll have to go back. Hopefully the owner will bring in some Chicory coffee to go with the beignets for those that like Chicory, even if he has to go to World Market on Garners Ferry to get it! read more

Perfect macchiato! Better than Starbucks. Beignets are delicious. Service was superb. My husband and I love this place.

After three visits, this place has became my new favorite go-to coffee shop for doing schoolwork. During each visit, the employees were friendly. My favorite has been the velvet ice with caramel. During my third visit, I tried the Beignets and they tasted Amazing. I will definitely be back next semester, especially during finals week when the downtown shops are busy. read more

I was really excited to try this place out. The workers were really rude and unprofessional. I got the Kings Cale shaken espresso and I don't even think there was coffee in it. It tasted like straight syrup. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

Though humble in outward appearance, this coffee shop is quite the gem. The drinks, the service and the atmosphere were all 5 stars. I wish I had a chance to capture a picture of the beignets, SO DELISH, they were inhaled by my family and I. Will definitely be back! read more

So much better than Starbucks!! After facing an issue with Starbucks in which they would not refund money for a product never received, I decided to try PJ's since I now refuse to do business with Starbucks. PJ's was welcoming and the staff was extremely pleasant. Plus...the best part of all...their coffee was phenomenal! Save yourself money, save yourself attitude from Starbucks, save yourself from unethical Starbucks actions and make your way down the street to PJ's. You won't regret it! read more

Visited the coffee shop during the grand opening! Great coffee, great cranberry orange muffin, great ambiance, and will become a regular customer! read more

I have been a few times already and I have always been happy with what I got! We only had two coffee shops in the area and one being Starbucks which I'm not a huge fan of. So when I saw a new coffee shop was opening I was so excited and it was so worth the wait! Their coffee in my opinion is better than Starbucks. I have tried their velvet ice which is their frappes and that was really good-I want to say it was called the kings cake or something like that I tried it hot and gold and it was really good, my kids have had their frozen hot chocolate which is really good, I tried their butter rum latte I want to say is the name (if I am getting all the names wrong I'm worry ) and that was really good. I tried their Cuban sandwich and I'm from FL so I was very surprised to see that on the menu and had to see if it was good and it was delicious. The beignets though; those things are heaven! My daughters favorite Disney princess is princess Tiana and she said it was like it came right out of the tv screen! It was so good and fresh. Staff was very sweet and kind and the atmosphere inside is super cozy and elegant at the same time! It's my new coffee shop hangout spot and highly recommend everyone checking it out, at least for the beignets. read more
