Persona 5 fans can now pretend they’re at the game’s iconic Café Leblanc for real thanks to an official coffee line.
Publisher Atlus announced a collaboration with Jade City Foods to release three different coffee roasts alongside a line of hot sauce themed after the world of Persona 5.
A light roast with cherry and chocolate notes is named Shujin Academy after the main characters’ school, a medium roast with fruit acidity and boldness is named Phantom Thieves of Hearts after their squad name, and a dark roast with a chocolate and caramel taste is most aptly named Café Leblanc after, well, Café Leblanc.

Protagonist Joker lives in the attic of the cafe, though it’s also a regular hangout spot for him and his friends and players can even spend time brewing coffee here to grant special stat boosts in the traditional role-playing game side of Persona 5.
A 12 oz bag of the coffee will cost fans $20, or all three can be purchased for $50. As for the hot sauce line, a single bottle costs $18 while the entire collection costs $90. These two are named after aspects of Persona 5: Crow, Joker, and Violet after specific characters and Agi, Agidyne, and Agilao after three tiers of fire spells.
The Persona 5 series has sold more than 10 million units since the base game debuted in 2016. This ignores other franchise titles like Persona 3 Reload and Persona 4, instead only counting Persona 5 games such as Persona 5 Royal, Persona 5 Tactica, and Persona 5: Dancing in the Starlight.
Atlus last released a mainline Persona game since the base version of Persona 5 and is yet to announce Persona 6. A somewhat bizarre and incredibly subtle tease alludes to a green color theme for the next game, but that’s all fans have to go off so far.
