Pj's Coffee Has a New Banana Sweet Cold Foam for Two of Its Fall Drinks
Katherine Pendrill — August 12, 2026 — Lifestyle
Banana is having a bit of a moment in the drink world right now and PJ’s Coffee is leaning into the craze with two new drinks topped with a fruity Banana Sweet Cold Foam.
Paying tribute to its New Orleans roots, PJ’s Coffee's limited-time fall lineup includes two new Bananas Foster-inspired beverages. For those unfamiliar Bananas Foster was created in New Orleans in the 1950s and is a staple of the city's cuisine. To honor this dish, PJ's has created a new Cold Brew Mocha with Banana Sweet Cold Foam, which combines PJ’s signature cold brew with rich chocolate and a silky banana sweet cold foam on top. There's also a new Iced Matcha Latte with Banana Sweet Cold Foam, which takes hand-shaken matcha and creamy milk, and then tops it off with fluffy banana sweet cold foam.
In addition to the Banana Sweet Cold Foam-topped drinks, PJ's new menu also includes the seasonal Pumpkin Latte and new Bananas Foster Bites.
