The PJ's Coffee autumn menu has been launched by the brand with the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in mind to treat fans to a series of new and returning favorites.
The menu starts off with the classic Pumpkin Latte, but very quickly moves on over to a series of banana-themed items that come as a nod to the classic New Orleans Bananas Foster recipe. This includes the Cold Brew Mocha with Banana Sweet Cold Foam, Iced Matcha Latte with Banana Sweet Cold Foam and the Bananas Foster Bites. These items each prioritize rich, complex flavor as a nod to the burgeoning popularity of caramelized banana amongst foodies.
Executive Vice President of Marketing Reid Nolte commented on the PJ's Coffee autumn menu saying, "Our New Orleans roots have always influenced the way we approach our menu, and banana is one of those nostalgic flavors that has long been part of the city. This season, we’re pairing those flavors with the return of our Pumpkin Latte to create a lineup that feels both familiar and fresh, whether guests are craving a comforting classic or looking to try something new.”
