Ocean Springs Welcomes PJ’s Coffee: A Taste of New Orleans
On December 12, 2025, Ocean Springs will embrace a slice of New Orleans culture with the grand opening of PJ’s Coffee. Located at 1112 Ames Ave., this establishment promises to deliver not just quality coffee but also the spirit of its Crescent City roots to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The festivities will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m., hosted by the Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce and city officials. But there’s a treat waiting early birds; from 7 to 10 a.m., attendees can enjoy a complimentary 12-ounce hot or iced coffee along with pastries and beignet bites until noon!
A Community-Focused Café Experience
Mark and Melissa Mayne, longtime fans of PJ’s Coffee, have taken the plunge to become owners, transitioning their passion from running Luv 2 Play in New Orleans to creating a family-friendly café where the community can connect. “We knew the product quality and brand loyalty were unmatched,” said Mark Mayne, expressing his excitement about providing a welcoming gathering spot. “We can’t wait for friends and family to gather over a cup of coffee. We know bringing our NOLA favorite to the Gulf Coast will be a hit!”
Why PJ's Coffee is Unique
PJ’s Coffee began its journey in 1978, founded by Phyllis Jordan, who emphasized the importance of high-quality beans and meticulous roasting techniques. Today, the brand has expanded to over 185 locations. What sets PJ’s Coffee apart is not just the community atmosphere but its specialized cold brew process. PJ's Original Cold Brew™ is a daily crafted beverage designed to preserve the taste and aroma of Arabica beans while making coffee less acidic.
A Location for Every Coffee Lover
The new PJ’s location will feature both indoor and outdoor seating, catering to customers who prefer to enjoy their coffee in a relaxing environment or those on the go. The drive-thru option allows for swift service, perfect for busy mornings. With an array of offerings, including the fan-favorite beignets and coffees like the classic Café Au Lait, PJ’s aims to be a staple in the local community.
Continued Expansion and Future Plans
Mark and Melissa Mayne are not stopping at just one location; they have plans to open another PJ’s Coffee soon, indicating the brand's potential for growth in the area. This will not only create more job opportunities for local residents but also enhance the coffee culture in Ocean Springs.
The Local Flavor and Community Impact
As a Louisiana-based brand, PJ’s Coffee brings a cultural connection that resonates with Ocean Springs residents. The addition of this café to the community is hoped to foster engagement among locals. Events like the grand opening provide a space for community interaction, which is essential for small-town vibrancy.
The Future of Coffee in Ocean Springs
With the growing coffee trend across the United States, the opening of PJ's Coffee arrives at an opportune moment, as coffee consumption continues to rise. The café is poised to attract loyal customers while embracing newcomers eager to explore different flavors and unique blends. The hope is that PJ’s Coffee will embody the welcoming atmosphere of New Orleans while becoming a cornerstone for community gathering in Ocean Springs.
