New Orleans coffee brand celebrates regional classic with returning fan-favorites, offers free coffee for Mother’s Day
New Orleans, LA (RestaurantNews.com) PJ’s Coffee is walking down the aisle with flavor once again as one of its most swoon-worthy lineups makes its grand return: Southern Wedding Cake, available in hot, iced and frozen varieties from May 8 through Aug. 5, 2025.
Inspired by the timeless almond-vanilla wedding cakes that grace Southern celebrations, these decadent drinks start with PJ’s signature cold brew concentrate, infused with rich almond, vanilla and buttery cake flavors. Blended with creamy milk and pure cane sugar, then steamed and frothed to a silky finish, the result is a smooth, decadent drink that captures the charm and sweetness of a true New Orleans classic – one that always gets a “yes.”
For those who prefer their romance ice-cold, the Southern Wedding Cake Velvet Ice blends the same craveable flavor profile with milk and ice, topped with whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
“Our Southern Wedding Cake drinks are a love letter to New Orleans,” said Executive Vice President of Marketing Reid Nolte at PJ’s Coffee. “They’re sweet, nostalgic and just indulgent enough, with a signature presentation that turns heads. This iconic lineup has become a seasonal tradition – one that’s looked forward to every year, and the kind of commitment no one regrets.”
Just in time for Mother’s Day, PJ’s Coffee is serving up a little Southern hospitality. On Sunday, May 11, participating PJ’s locations will offer a free 12-ounce hot coffee or cold brew for moms, the perfect complement to a Southern Wedding Cake treat.
Southern Wedding Cake beverages will be available for a limited time at PJ’s Coffee locations nationwide and can be ordered online or through the PJ’s Coffee mobile app. To learn more about the New Orleans-born brand, its offerings or to find a nearby location, visit PJsCoffee.com.
About PJ’s Coffee
Phyllis Jordan, a pioneer in the coffee industry, founded PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans in 1978 and demonstrated that better beans, superior roasting techniques and pure passion for the art of coffee-making 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 best quality Arabica coffee beans, as well as organic tea and fresh breakfast pastries. PJ’s Original Cold Brew™ Iced 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 two-thirds less acidic – a process and technique developed by its founder and used for more than 45 years at all PJ’s locations. Bags of whole-bean coffee and single-serve cups of PJ’s Coffee are available for sale in-store and online. With more than 185 operating stores, including four international locations, PJ’s Coffee continues to grow in the U.S. and abroad.
