PJ's Coffee,

2 Center St, Newark, NJ 07102, United States

"Great spot for coffee, some assorted cakes and sandwiches. Has a great seating area, couches, chairs, tables, catch up on work or just hang out. Great hot chocolate too. Zero street parking allowed, paid lot around the corner."

"On 12/23 I visited this location to try PJ's coffee with the motto of PJ's that they roast their coffee beans in small batches for a unique taste - this was not the experience I encountered. I ordered the Peppermint Bark Iced Latte and a Caramel Crème - Hot. Both taste like water and milk mix with syrup. They were both missing the coffee taste/coffee flavor, and coffee experience that PJ's expresses about their brand. Also, the Peppermint Bark Iced Latte was not served with the peppermint shavings which is false advertisement. As a brand it should portray their motto however it could be the franchisee and quality control issues. I did have a conversation with the worker whom said she worked their for 2 years - which I thought "okay she knows how to prep the drinks" - however that coffee taste was not there - again this is not the barista fault - I highly believe it is the quality control issue. Even "bad" coffee has the coffee taste. This experience of coffee was just water down milk/water and syrup."

"Excellent service and attention to detail. Food and coffee were outstanding. I feel they could do better without the kitschy attempt at NOLA vibe. But you’ll be happy you came guaranteed. Coffee is strong and perfect and bakery products including the beignets are exceptional."

"A great place to get drinks and light meals when going to NJPAC. Just across the street, to the east on Center Street. We had coffee, iced tea, sandwiches and beignets. It took a while to heat the pre-packaged sandwiches, but they were very good. The Beignets also took time to prepare, but they were fresh and authentic."
