If you're a coffee drinker, you need to check this place out and get yourself a delicious cup of New Orleans coffee and a pastry. If you're not a coffee drinker, you need to drop by and get yourself a cup of tea and a sweet treat. You can also purchase gift items and packaged coffee; pods, beans, and grounds. Whatever the reason or no reason at all, come on by and get the absolute best service and goods in the city! Food: Hot coffee, frappe, specialty brew, king cake, and blueberry muffin...YUMMY!!!! Service: IMPECCABLE!!! Quality, welcoming, professional, friendly, top notch customer service. Atmosphere: Exterior - clean and well kept grounds, Interior - meticulous, well lit, spacious, and positive vibes, Restroom - super neat and very clean If you're in the area, drop by, say hi and grab a cup of coffee . If you're not in the area, put it on your to-do list and then in your GPS...you won't regret it!

Spinach and Feta Croissant Praline Cold Brew
Latricia H.

I love this spot! The staff is always polite and friendly. The coffee is always good and they make really good recommendations. Today I tried the Pralines and Cream Cold Brew and it was just lovely! I added half and half, as well as a few pumps of praline and caramel syrups. Soooo yummy. They also recommended the spinach and feta croissant which were fresh out of the oven. LISTEN.... It was divine. A must try. I also appreciate the ambiance. I'm a writer and I was looking for a place to work on my book. I loved that there isn't loud music playing. It's a 10/10 for me! I'm a fan!

Wow!!! The difference a day makes!!! New owners!!! New attitudes!!! Fresh vibe in the place. The location is at 6600 Franklin Ave in front Rouses across from the UNO Lakefront Arena. I stopped in for a caramel granita after early voting this October 2020 and what a pleasant surprise it was to meet the new owner; she is beautiful inside and out, she was smiling and full of joy. Her joy spreads over into the whole atmosphere; the vibe when you enter is simply welcoming and amazing. The caramel granita was super tasty & refreshing. Although it has dairy in it and I'm not doing dairy, this is such a refreshing and welcoming treat, I just had to suck it up, literally and figuratively, and bear the discomfort. The cranberry muffin was fresh and I asked them to warm it up; it was oh so tasty, warm and melted like butter in my tummy. I look forward to many, many more interactions at this facility, I love it here.

The Mardi Gras king cake iced latte and the guy who made it

I stop here every now and then when I get my nails done at the nail shop next door and I normally get the hot coco but since it is Mardi Gras I decided why not be festive and go with a Mardi Gras Latte I was not disappointed at all OMG it was sooooo Yummy.... I normally am CC's girl but I will have to stop here from time to time a grab one of these during the Mardi Gras season (and yeah I had mine iced)

Cranberry orange muffin

I have been wanting to stop in and today I finally got the chance to a little after noon. It was a delight to say the least. There was a very friendly gentleman who helped me make a selection of a Mocha Velvet Ice. He offered me flavors like salted caramel, chocolate, and I decided to get regular caramel and chocolate. The beverage was just what I wanted. I had it made with almond milk and it was so fresh and smooth, next thing I knew I was slurping up the whipped cream from the bottom of my cup. Good thing I was in the car by myself. I also chose a cranberry orange muffin. There was a very nice lady behind the counter who offered to warm it up for me. It was fresh, sweet, with huge pieces of fruit. I was very happy with my selections and have no complaints whatsoever. I'm glad too because this place is close to my job and I will definitely be stopping in regularly.

Its the Holiday Season People come on in.
Felicia M.

Okay Folks. Theirs some new owners on the block. So i had to give this place another try. Just walking in felt different. I understand that Covid-19 is still going on. So I made sure to wear my mask. I notice right away that everything was socially distance including the on the floor signs. The pastry area was fully stocked and looking delicious. But what shocked me the most was the owners were their helping their employees and greeting the customers as we walked in. I've never seen that done in New Orleans. Im pretty simple when it comes to coffee but this day i actually did one of the holiday drinks and it was very good. Free WiFi is all you had to offer mixed with good customer service and Im supporting your business. I invited a friend and she was impressed as well. We'll definitely be back very soon.

freshly-baked orange-cranberry muffin and a dark roast in my streetcar travel cup

This PJ's location is one of my regulars because of its proximity to my son's school. It's busy in the morning, between folks working in the buildings across the street from UNO as well as students/faculty from the school itself. Because of the morning traffic, they're always baking stuff, and the orange-cranberry muffins were right out of the oven. Staff is cheerful, nice, and the coffee is always top-notch. Careful of the glare in the morning! The shop has an eastern exposure. While most of the morning customers are in-and-out, a few folks settle in to do some work. A sunny day makes it tough to see a laptop at some tables. NOTE: current address for the Gentilly PJ's is 6600 Franklin Ave, corner Leon C. Simon. The address listed here went 12' under water in the Federal Flood of 2005.

This is a great location. It's the only coffee shop servicing the Gentilly and New Orleans East at this time. It's small but very cozy. The workers are absolutely fabulous and friendly. Expect yummy fresh baked pastries at this location. Try the orange cranberry muffin. Try out some of the teas at this location.

I went to bed thinking about how I was going to get an iced king cake coffee. I got up early went to PJs to learn that they didn't have any at 7:02 in the morning. You just opened. How is this so? Anyway, settled on a latte with soy. It was too sweet and just not that good. In the past I have purchased an almond crossiant there and it was pretty good so, I wouldn't give up on this place just yet. Maybe it was just an eh morning.

Ginger peach tea. Savored!!

The employees are nice and gave us plenty of time to look at the menu before we ordered. The space is bigger than I expected, with lots of seating areas, tables, and couches. There are also a lot of outlets anf the music is not too loud in my opinion, so I believe it is the perfect study spot. I ordered Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso with oat milk and I am not the biggest fan of it. There was a weird sour after taste to the coffee which I am unsure where it is coming from. I imagine if it was a little sweeter, it may have been more enjoyable. When I sat down to start on some work, I tried to connect to the cafe wifi, having seen the password posted on a sheet of paper near the counter. The wifi gave me and my friend a couple issues when trying to connect. After about 5-10 minutes of errors and no internet signals, we decided to use out hotspots. We were eventually able to use the wifi after maybe 30 minutes, so if you are able to find a connection, it is fine but if you are unable to, it can be frustrating.

They do online orders, so if you are looking for Baldwin books or books on Black history/social justice, consider buying from this Black owned business instead of Amazon.
