## Story

- **Southern Wedding Cake Iced Latte:** Espresso and whole milk, sweetened with almond and vanilla syrups, served over ice.

- **Southern Wedding Cake Velvet Ice:** Rich, decadent flavors of almond and vanilla blended together with Southern Wedding Cake cold brew concentrate, milk, and ice. Topped with whipped cream.

- **Southern Wedding Cake Sweet Cold Foam:** Southern Wedding cake cold brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, topped with sweet cold foam that adds a little extra flavor.

“Southern Wedding Cake is one of our most popular blends,” says Felton Jones, Roastmaster at PJ’s Coffee. ”The addition of sweet cold foam is a new way to enhance the already-rich almond and vanilla flavors that our customers know and love.”

Guests can download the new PJ’s Coffee mobile app to earn rewards, order ahead or utilize mobile pay options at select locations nationwide. First time app users can use the code “FREEDRINK” for a complimentary 12oz PJ’s Coffee beverage of your choice up to a value of $4.50.

With over 126 operating stores, including four international locations, PJ’s Coffee continues to grow in the U.S. and abroad. Part of the Ballard Brands portfolio of businesses, the team at PJ’s Coffee expects that number to increase to 170 stores by the end of year.

All PJ’s Coffee locations feature a wide selection of beverages and food, including PJ’s Original Cold BrewTM Iced Coffee, direct trade coffees, frozen beverages, organic tea, freshly baked pastries and breakfast sandwiches, and lunch sandwiches. Customers can purchase PJ’s whole-bean coffee bags, single serve cups and PJ’s ready-to-drink Nitro coffee, allowing coffee-lovers to enjoy their favorite combinations from their own homes

PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans was founded in 1978 by Phyllis Jordan, a pioneer in the coffee industry that demonstrated that better beans, superior roasting techniques, and pure passion for the art of coffeemaking mattered. In 2008, the company was purchased by New Orleans natives and brothers, Paul, Steven, and Scott Ballard. PJ’s Coffee serves a wide variety of hot, iced and frozen coffee beverages using only the top 1% of Arabica beans, as well as organic tea and fresh breakfast pastries.

PJ’s Original Cold BrewTM Ice Coffee is brewed daily using a special cold-drip process that protects the flavor and strength of the beans, while producing a coffee that is 2/3 less acidic – a process and technique pioneered by our founder and used for more than 30 years at all PJ’s locations. Bags of whole bean coffee, single serve cups of PJ’s Coffee and PJ’s Iced Coffee Concentrate are available for sale in-store and online. With over 126 operating stores, including four international locations, PJ’s Coffee continues to grow in the U.
