This little respite of a specialty restaurant deserves three and a half to four stars. The pros of this place are amazing: - Peanut butter everywhere (the store owner shares the same love of the magical food as I do) - PB & Co has a knack for making you feel at home (maybe it's the fact that you can get your PB sandwich with a glass of milk, or the fact that the employees are very friendly and somehow make you want to be a kid again) - It plays DISNEY MUSIC (my friend and I looked at each other with such delighted shock when we noticed the speakers playing one of our favorites from Disney's Mulan) - The portions of the sandwiches were HUGE and totally satisfying. Some downsides: - The prices are a bit high. My meal (which consisted of the Elvis w/o bacon, carrot sticks and a bag of chips that came with the sandwich, and a cup of coffee) was $11.11. Good news is, the price was ALMOST worth it. But I would totally go back, just not all the time (my wallet couldn't take it). - It was a bit crowded and hectic, but when the huge family left the store with their 27 kids or whatever, the place was pretty mellow. I recommend the Elvis (I had it without the bacon, but the bacon sounds good lol). Something about the ooey gooey peanut butter, drizzled with honey and topped with banana between two warm slices of toasted bread, made me feel like anything was possible. After taking my first bite, I had hope that maybe Santa Claus actually IS real, and that dreams do come true. I'm not exaggerating. If you've never had a peanut butter sandwich like that (not including the ones you had as a kid), you gotta try this place. Beautiful.

This place makes me feel like a little kid :) I came here twice this semester with my friend and I've tried "Elvis" (i HIGHLY recommend Elvis btw. It simply melts in your mouth. Mmm good) both times. I also love how NYU is affiliated with PB&Co, so there are lots of coupons that you can use to get free stuff from here! That's definitely an incentive to come here =) The concept is cute. You pick your food, and you get chips + carrots on the side. However, logistically speaking, I honestly could make my own PB&Nutella sandwich and buy chips and carrots from Trader Joes. It's really not that difficult. Hence, I don't come here very often because I just don't think it's worth the splurge. I'll come here once a while, but that's really it. The good thing is the food typically comes out fast and the workers are helpful and nice. Even the interior of the store is super cute! Yeah, so I'm not sure how I feel about this place. I don't think I'll be coming here regularly - that's for sure.

Peanut butter. Really, what else is there to say? You turn the corner and see a pretty blue awning. You walk in, are greeted with tables and nostalgic peanut related posters and kitch on the walls. The menu inspires childhood nostalgia and modern peanut butter twists. You sit. Agnoize over the stress of choosing only one sandwich. You choose the Elvis. The girl behind the counter is so nice it makes you wonder either what drugs she's on (peanut butter, duh) or why you're such a curmudgeon. The Elvis you choose is on toasted white bread with Mighty Maple peanut butter, banana and honey. Oh God, you can add bacon for $1. You don't because, jeez that's just too much, the universe might cave in. You eat it with a knife and fork because it oozes with delicious melty butter and honey. You cant believe how delicious it is. No one at your table is talking because you can't, your mouth is full of sticky sweet peanut butter. I wanted to give them 5 stars but we had to ask for utensils for a sandwich that really needed them and the girl passing out the sandwiches was kind of clueless. You can purchase all of the different flavors and accoutrements in the store or online!

I really, really wanted to love this place. I visited New York on a trip and I did extensive research on various restaurants. I settled on Peanut Butter and Co for lunch. It is one of those fun niche restaurants that you have to try simply because of its novelty. However, I was disappointed with my sandwich. I ordered the Heat is On sandwich, a take on Thai satay. It was good but not a twenty minute subway ride good. I was intrigued by a lot of the other creative options on the menu and would return to try another option. Prices are reasonable. Seating is limited. All sandwiches are served with chips and carrot slices, just like Mama used to do.

I had the Elvis sandwich. Sooo filling. Next time I'm Gona try the strawberry shortcake! A little pricey for a sandwich but it's New York

I have not tried the peanut butter here, so I cannot fairly rate this place (so I gave it 2 stars instead of 1), but why sell your product on Groupon when you are constantly sold out? I got a refund via Groupon.

make my way back here after so many years and had a dessert sandwich here. -- Fluffy Nutter (or something like that) - $6.25 with $.5 special Dark Chocolate Dream peanut butter and white fluffy mallows layered in a white sandwich.. yummy, though if you think about it, I could buy the whole bottle of PB from WholeFoods and make them @ home.. but the lure of eating here is awesome... and amazed that they are still here after the '08, '09 financial storms.

Brought back by a Howaboutwe date, not much has changed since my only other visit when they first opened, except for the menu. It's still on the cozy side in a shade of yellow that blends childhood and adulthood. We enjoyed a fixed offering of the sampler platter with strawberry fluff sandwiches, but I noted all the peanut butter sandwich alternative concoctions on the menu such as tuna melts, grilled cheese, baloney and cheese, turkey and chicken salad sandwiches. Nice to see them evolve a bit. The service was absolutely lovely and unless all the other little reserved signs I saw were exclusively for Howaboutwe, it now appears they take reservations in this small place. Depending on the time you go, that can be very handy. All the peanut butter we tasted was fine, but the strawberry fluff sandwich had more sugar than anyone should eat in two months. ugh. I had to scrape some out and even then desperately wished to brush my teeth after. I'm more of an almond butter person. There is a restroom by the cash register. Fun to visit if you LOVE peanut butter. Really love it.

Had the Elvis. This was pretty good until you eat half your sandwich and you get sick of the sandwich. Sandwich comes with a bag of chips and carrots. Tip: Defintiely get something to drink to watch it down. I recommend their rice milk!

So, it's possible that because I didn't get something with peanut butter, that my review might not necessarily apply. I got a grilled cheese, and it was dead cold and the cheese wasn't oozy or wonderfully melty at all. The guy at the register seemed absolutely miserable and seriously had an expression on his face that looked like I was the biggest inconvenience of his life. My friend got the "Seinfeld," I think, and she said it was good! I'm sure the peanut butter options aren't bad, but it's hard to screw up bread and a spread, no? So then the service should be stellar, or at least warm. Two stars for cold cheese and mediocrity.

I took my nieces and parents here today. I have heard good things and read good reviews. Unfortunately I was severely disappointed. The shop is cute and quaint. One of the biggest issues I had was the service. Based on the reviews I read it appears customer service is usually a strong point. The counter guy seemed unhappy we were there although we were 6 people in an empty restaurant. The peanut butter was peanut butter. Nothing more nothing less. The best thing about this place is the decor and ambiance. The music they played was great and kept my nieces dancing the entire time. I'm disappointed the counter guy was so bad as it really ruined the experience. I'd still recommend giving it a try but just be aware it's nothing special.

peanut butter bliss sundae 2 peanut butter cookies (chocolate and jelly) jar of smooth operator for a shop to specialize in peanut butter peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter cookies peanut butter ice cream sundaes peanut butter in jars i thought it would be mind blowing considering i can get a jar of jiff for $2 on a good day at cvs when theirs costs a solid $5. the charming, feels like i'm at grandma's house (if my grandma was like the ones on tv) even the cheery yellow walls couldn't convince the taste buds the extra fare is worth the trouble.

Extremely innovative. Sandwiches are great and very filling. It's great to know I can get my fill of pb&j from a place that knows nothing but! Pricey? Maybe a bit, but that's what you get for innovative cuisine in New York!

Great concept for kids or peanut butter fanatics, but poor execution. The peanut butter is good but not sure why anyone would come here when you can just buy this at the store... The other supplemental items here are not worth the trek - the bread is ordinary, the coffee is ordinary, the carrots apples chips are all ordinary. If I could give this place one recommendation it would be to jazz up everything else on the menu as well so people really are not coming here just to try peanut butter that is available at DR.

Alison H.

I must agree with Kristina S.......Don't get sucked into all the hype. It is just a sandwich nothing special. You can make it at home for under $1. No need to pay $7. The sandwich was rich and felt like a brick in my tummy. If you feel the need to go try something light don't go crazy it will just be to much. Great for kids but for adults.... not so much.

What a guilty pleasure/ treasure/treat. Thanks to scoutmob and a movie at Angelika to make this secret want come to light. I can only imagine how caloric a sandwich is that is choc. chips, vanilla cream cheese + dark choc. peanut butter, but HOLY MOSES did it taste good. It was definitely dessert as dinner. If you need some awesome comfort food and you also like to hang out near college kids, then here's your spot.

Three weeks ago, I bought a groupon for 4 jars of peanut butter. They haven't had any of the good flavors in stock, and now say they won't until next year! Silly me, trekking all the way down there just assuming they would actually have the ONE THING they sell in stock. I don't normally like to complain about groupon-related issues but this is poor management. If you agreed to sell a certain number of these groupons, then OBVIOUSLY you need to stock 4X that number of jars. Also, might as well mention that the cinnamon raisin flavor is horrible. It's gritty and the raisins are way too tough and chewy. That's probably why it was the only flavor left when I went.

If you consider yourself a peanut butter fan, this place is an absolute must! Peanut butter sandwichs, peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter jars, etc. I definitely always keep one or 2 of their peanut butter jars on hand - you can usually find them in most grocery stores. Ice cream sundaes are super sweet so bring a friend to share!

As a peanut butter fanatic I had been meaning to stop by this place for ages, and I'm not sure why in the world I hadn't until today. A friend and I came here for dessert after eating dinner around the corner. We were looking for something sweet and had a hard time deciding, because everything looked and sounded so good. Our goal was comfort food - once we saw Fluffernutter on the menu, the decision pretty much made itself. The bread had a unique shape, and there wasn't an overpowering amount of PB or fluff on there, so it wasn't bad at all. My only qualm with the sandwich itself was that I sort of feel like I could've made it myself...maybe if we had gotten a flavored peanut butter it would've tasted more original. The coffee I ordered was good, with a sort of cinnamon after-taste. We also loved that the sandwiches come with carrot sticks and healthy-ish potato chips. A nice touch!

Who doesn't love peanut butter?? Okay, I must admit, it's a bit overpriced for a peanut butter sandwich. BUT, I had a buy one, get one free coupon so I had to put it to good use! I ordered the Elvis with crunchy peanut butter & another sandwich (forgot the name but the Cinnamon Swirl peanut butter with white chocolate and apples). I would give this place four stars, but it took me ten minutes to get my sandwiches! They were made quickly, but the worker didn't notice they were already made.. they were just sitting on the counter for a while, which was so annoying. I liked how my sandwiches came with a bag of potato chips and a ziploc bag of carrot sticks. It was cute. The sandwiches were really tasty and BIG! Totally underestimated how filling one sandwich could be. I couldn't move after eating the Elvis.

Very simple, but our favorite meal so far. The Jerry Seinfeld special was wonderful. A toasted bagel with pb, cinnamon sugar, and honey. If you are a pb lover you need to stop in.

Oh, hey there Peanut Butter & Co. You want me to come inside? Okay then. My, what a large menu you have. So much peanut butter. If the cherry lime rickey is as good as you say, I'll give it a try. I used to get them in Brooklyn when I was a kid. *sluuuurp* This is delicious, although sweet enough to instantly give me diabetes. Seinfeld? Jerry Seinfeld? Well fine, he must know what he's doing. I mean, a bagel with crunchy PB, honey and cinnamon sounds like a lot, but I'll be over at my table when it's ready. This looks like a ridiculous mess! How am I supposed to even eat this? OH MY GOSHT. Thith is tho good. I mean thow can dyou even make peanut buttah tathe so inthane. Ughhhh. I juth want to make love to my plate. Leave uth alone! *sluuurp* You are incredibly sexy. We should do this again. Except I'm all sticky now. SERIOUS NOTE: As everyone knows, arachibutyrophobia, the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth, is no laughing matter. If you or someone you love suffers from this condition, please avoid this establishment at all costs.

What the hell am I going to say about this place that hasn't already been said? DO YOU LIKE PEANUT BUTTER? Just come here and stop being stupid. I just wanted to give them another 5-star rating so they show up higher on searches because they sure as hell deserve it for providing you a one-stop shop for ALL your peanut butter sins. While I was living in NYC I made it a point to eat at a lot of trendy, of-the-moment restaurants with famed chefs blah blah blah and restaurant week happened while I was there, etc., but honestly I can remember pretty much NONE of those "fabulous" dining experiences because they were all delicious in a very, very homogenous way. What I DO remember incredibly vividly though, is Peanut Butter & Co.

The service in this place was good and the sandwich was an average PB&J sandwich with a twist. I ordered the PB&J sandwich with vanilla cream cheese and strawberry jelly to go. When I got home to eat it, I had gotten the toasted bagel, a small container with the peanut butter, another container with cream cheese, and another container with the jelly. The sandwich wasn't made. If I wanted to make my own sandwich I wouldn't have gone here. It was overpriced. I am willing to go back to see if they made an error with my order in order to try the other options. However, the sandwich wasn't amazing.

Came here on Saturday,and was pleasantly surprised by the quaint atmosphere and fun menu. There are all kinds of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to choose from and so many different types of peanut butter to try, it can be almost overwhelming. Luckily the staff are super friendly, and willing to let you try the different types of peanut butter to ensure you make the right decision when you order your sandwich. I had the PB&J Club, which is two layers of peanut butter and two layers of jelly on 3 pieces of bread. I ordered it toasted, but if I were to go back I'd leave the bread in it's soft natural state. The sandwich was huge, it came with cut up carrots and miniature bag of chips. It was very heavy and delicious! The prices are a little high for a pb&j but if your in the mood to splurge this is a great spot! I will definitely be back.

It seems a little strange to go to a restaurant and pay over $5 for something you could easily make at home. But you have to go for the novelty of ordering a PB & J and a glass of milk. I'm ashamed to admit that I actually got the tuna melt for lunch when I went to Peanut Butter & Company. But circumstances as they were, that's what I ended up with and I enjoyed it. The thing I love about this place is that they serve carrot sticks with the sandwiches. It feels like you're eating a lunch your mom or dad packed for you. I also got the "Peanut Butter Cup" sandwich, which is just PB and Nutella on bread, for dessert. It was everything you'd want in that combination. While the sandwiches are pricey, they are bigger than I anticipated. I feel justified in paying $6 or so for a peanut butter sandwich.

Im an athiest, but if there is any type of heaven it will have 8 types of peanut butter. And it will have the label PB and co! Now this isnt health food, but the peanut butter itself is all natural and in small doses great for you. I love the spicy one and the cruncy one, it makes my little chef heart happy! If youre vegan - get the bees knees with vegan bread and maple PB add banana - (the apple butter they use is all organic - its the only preserve that is - the rest are prossed). also for runners, the PB smoothie is great for post runs! However if you just want to be a litle bad for the night, come hear and be all kinds of naughty - youll have even this vegan health nuts apporval!

Cute for the novelty, but definitely won't be back again. Dragged the group here because I'd seen it on the Food Network, and they were not happy with me. In fact, I was the only one who ate my entire sandwich (the Elvis), while the others took a few bites and threw out the rest. Problem was, they were just waaay too sweet. If you have to have your peanut butter fix, and you're willing to drop $6-8 for a PB&J sandwich, go with the Elvis and Fluffer Nutter shake. Pass on the rest, unless you have a very serious sweet tooth. Plus, the place is tiny. If you're going to come, come ready to fight for a space. And for some strange reason, it took a really long time for them to prepare the food. How long does it take to make a PB&J sandwich. The peanut butter is already made and the bread wasn't even toasted.

Ashley B.

I must admit, this place is pretty fun. First things first, they have an ad on the window that advertises a FLUFFERNUTTER and well, after that I could not resist going in. If you love peanut butter, then this is the place for you! Any combo imaginable, they have it! I mean, how amazing is that?! I wished I was hungrier so that I could have tried the Elvis Presley inspired PB sandwich, yeah, how awesome is that?!
(4)
Matt O.

Great place, fun-simple- and yummy. I had heard it was overpriced but found it to be very reasonable for what you get- The PB BLT is great if you crush the potato chips on it!! Skip the spicy PB, all heat-no PB taste. Plus the guys at the counter were very honest about our order and recommended a great cost saving tip!! Nice Job!

My male friend loves peanut butter. One night we decided to meet in the area for dinner after work and I surprised him by taking him to Peanut Butter & Company after reading about it online. He had the Elvis and I had a boring regular peanut butter sandwich. He also had a peanut butter milkshake that was way too sweet for me. I love that they make their own bread at this place and it's 1.5 times bigger than regular bread so you feel like a little kid eating a huge sandwich. That concept is just adorable to me. I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, so I can't say too much about the food. We took the sandwiches up to Washington Square in brown paper bags and ate them with the carrot sticks and potato chips they'd popped in for us. My date definitely enjoyed the novelty of our adventure. The actual restaurant is a little dank and sad, like a European cafe from the 60s. It's also pretty pricey for simple peanut butter sandwiches.

The staff is pleasant and the vibe is nice. I would've given them a 5 but the places is small and barely any space to really move. The kids enjoyed it and we got extra chips to go. I got Bagel Nosh which was so delicious. Would recommend and go to again if I am in the West 4th area

Sebhia D.

So NOT what I expected...thought it was a huge factory of peanut butter (okay could be not as good because I envisioned this enchanted place) but seriously, small....peanut butter was good of course, and I particularly like the Chocolate Peanut Butter. Came here with friends, had a good time....for a party of 4 or more I would not recommend.

Not as good as I thought ! And they should really warn you if something is spicy as it is not stated in the menu. The cookies were not fresh at all.

Dillon S.

It was fun to try their different types of peanut butter, but after a little hype and a lot of high expectations, this PB lover was a little let down. Just a little too pricey for a not so spectacular experience. Although I think I could have made it myself for less money, I will admit that the grilled pb, banana, honey sandwich was delish! I applaud their creativity!
(2)
Ryan K.

Okay...I know that it's overpriced for what it is. Yes, I do know that very well. HOWEVER, the White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter, the Bee's Knees (peanut butter mixed with honey) and the Maple peanut butter all deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Seriously - ship them to the Middle East and all this nonsense would end. They're THAT good.* Their in-house sandwiches are divine, but I fully recommend taking home jars for yourself and saving a little money. However, I can say (from personal experience) that this is a fantastic date spot...especially if your date is looking for some nostalgia and/or feels homesick for Ohio or Wisconsin or wherever they may be from. (You're welcome for the tip...) I salute you, PB & C! * Seriously. I think this could work!

I admit that it's not entirely fair to review a restaurant without having actually eaten the food, but what does it say about a restaurant when you're actually inside the restaurant, look at the food, and simply walk out. Peanut Butter & Co. is a novelty restaurant. It's nostalgic in principal, wildly successful in practice, but hardly desirable in reality. Unless you're allergic to peanut butter, PB&J is nearly a universal comfort food. It's nutty, creamy, and very savory. If you combine that with something sweet you, then you'll have the best of all worlds. But can somebody explain to me why I'm paying $6.00 for a sandwich that a kindergartner can make for pennies on the dollar? Even the simplest sandwich deli justifies its added value by using ingredients that are hard to keep fresh (you'll never use that much lettuce). And when you look at the food that's actually served, you'll realize that there's hardly anything special about it. It's an ordinary peanut butter sandwich. I suppose I would pay a premium price if it was plated like a fancy Michelin-starred restaurant but this is not the case. I suppose I would pay a premium if the sandwiches used gourmet ingredients and really expensive peanut butter but this is not the case. I looked at the $6.00 sandwich and then I looked at the $6.00 jar of peanut butter. I'd pick the jar of peanut butter any day. Peanut Butter & Co is fun for sh*ts-and-giggles but I wouldn't waste my time if I have a limited schedule in NYC. [Original Visit: January 2, 2010] Follow up remark: Well, if you're a big fan of PB then don't let my review stop you from making a pilgrimage. But if you're rushed on time and you're 12+ restaurant tour within the span of 2 days ... you may want to skip PB & Co. for the sake of your wallet, clock, and stomach.

I was excited to check out this place I had heard so much about. Ended up with rude staff, small portions. They must live off of tourists as they must not care much about their customers. I am so sad it wasn't the experience I dreamed it would have been. They followed up on a phone call I sent with a coupon for a jar of bees knees peanut butter which is available at Ralph's in Southern California.

We loved this place. It was nice having a pb sandwich at the end of the day. The employees were great. The only thing I would tell people is to not to buy the pb there they sell it for $6 but at the grocery store thy sell it for $3.75.

Carmela R.

This review is for Peanut Butter & Company's No-Stir Natural Dark Chocolate Dreams. It's a blend of peanut butter with rich dark chocolate and is it ever so dreamy!! Family introduced me to this. A favorite snack of theirs is smearing it on a rice cake. It's now one of my favorite treats and even a healthy dessert for when my late night snack attack comes over me. I love that no fridge and no stir are needed. That way I can carry it around and when stopping to for a coffee or tea, I can whip out my rice cake and DCD in lieu of a less healthy choice. Great way to save some cash and calories. Win win, no? I've done this at a few cafes, Starbucks, coffeehouses around town. But, shh, don't tell.

Christine T.

A little pricey for what you get ($6-7.50 for a PB sandwich), but AMAZING combinations. My favorite was the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl sandwich (cinnamon-raisin PB, apple slices, and vanilla cream cheese). The best deal is to buy a jar of their specialty peanut butter ($6), and take it home and make your own yummy combinations or get recipes or copies of the menu on their website.

A store dedicated to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Interesting concept. I had the cinnamon-raisin peanut butter with vanilla cream cheese, raisins, and apple slices. It cost $6.75. I stood there thinking that seemed like a lot for PB and creme cheese on bread, which is likely how this place had survived in Manhattan for almost 12 years. That's a friggin' gross margin machine they've got right there. The sandwich was large and incredibly filling. It was also incredibly rich, and while I usually eat like a pig and finish everything on my plate, I could only eat 1/2 of the sandwich with my complementary chips and diet root beer. I felt so full I kindof felt slightly sick. Not in a terrible way, more of a my body was telling me do not pass Go, do not eat another thing way. The store is decorated in antique early American signs and has a small town feel to it. It's also a small space in itself, probably only 6 or 7 tables. They sell each of their peanut butters flavors by the jar for $5 each if you want to take some home. I had the other half of that sandwich today for lunch. Again, incredibly filling, and again I have that slightly sick because it was just too much and too rich feeling. It was friggin' good though, I'm not gonna lie, and the "slightly sick" feeling goes away in 10 or 15 minutes. Therefore I'm gonna say it's worth it. I dont know that I'd ever go back, but it was a fun place to try if you're in the area.

::Andre Biggums Standing up in a Peanut Butter Anonymous Meeting:: I've been addicted to Peanut Butter ever since I turned 18. My younger brother is allergic to Peanuts, so my Parents forbid me from ever having any. In my first year of college, my roommate came home late with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He asked if I wanted a piece and I figured that I was just experimenting. At first, I told myself that I would only eat PB&j's on the weekends. Then I started eating them on Mondays and before you knew it, I was completely addicted to PB&Js and I was eating them everyday. I stopped going to class, got kicked out of school, and had to go back home where I started stealing money and stuff around the house to get my peanut butter fix. My parents kicked me out and I was forced to sleep in Washington Square Park. This is where I found other PB&J junkies like myself. They took me to Peanut Butter &Co. Now you can find me passed out on a park bench holding a Peanut Butter BLT.

Oh sweet goodness, I saw a jar of the white chocolate peanut butter from Peanut Butter & Co. and it transported me back to sitting in the random shop in the Village. Being inside felt like I was a kid waiting in the kitchen while my mom was making lunch, packing a plastic wrapped sandwich tightly in a brown paper bag knowing that it would get smashed up in a backpack. The only difference here is that there are no paper bags unless you're taking it to go, it comes on a tray. I'm an uber classy gal so a standard peanut butter and jelly sammie was perfect, toss a couple of plain potato chips inside and squish the bread together and you've got a big old slice o' heaven. I did exactly this and was not the only person either. A friend of mine ordered a sandwich called an Elvis Presley or something like that. I could not betray the beloved pb&j. They have these amazing chocolate with peanut butter brownies that are so gooey they stick to the roof of your mouth, delicious. Seeing that jar makes me miss New York so I can have a sandwich that I damn well can make in my own kitchen but it just is not the same.

Peanut Butter Sandwich Fans, Rejoice!! Could you make them a home? Sure, but the never taste as good as when someone else makes em. A must try is definitely The Elvis- PB, Bananas, Honey, and DUN, DUN, DUNNNNN......Bacon. That's right, bacon people. Don't judge me, and try it! What's the worst that could happen...? You spend $5.00, take a bite, and spit it out? But then, what's the best that can happen..? You fall deeply in love and return on several occasions to indulge in this-not-so-ordinary-deliciousness. Cheap, cute, good for the young, and good for the young at heart. Oh yea, they also make a killer Cherry Lime Rickey.

I have been to Peanut Butter & Co. several times and have always enjoyed the meal. The menu has a variety of selections and everyone should be able to find something, whether it is simple or unique, to pique their interest. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly and fast. Plus, the peanut butter, both in the restaurant and available in grocery stores, is AWESOME.

This is definatly a place worth trying out for the first time. Like other people have said it is a great tourist spot and I know friends from out of town would love it. It is a bit pricey but they can do that with this kind of place I guess. I went when I was still eating meat and I had the PB/honey/bacon and it was damn good! But for some reason my friend had a Tuna sammie? Weird. All in all I would say go once for the experience, but if you live here in the city...go somewhere worth it.

I stumbled upon this place one day when I was walking around. This place introduced me to the fluffernutter. I only eat them here. They have sandwiches named after famous people too! The milkshakes were okay. But they have the best peanut butter sandwiches I have ever had.

Peanut Butter & Co is great for a comforting simple delicious meal that you are too lazy or incompetent to prepare for yourself. Yeah, it is expensive for food you can make at home, but I fall into both categories and therefore, the Elvis calls me over for a yummy sandwich. Peanut Butter & Co has a special place in my heart because it is where my fiance and I ate before walking the Brooklyn Bridge for a proposal. Yes, peanut butter provides fuel and comfort for such an endeavor. Ignore the noisy kids running around the place or the stroller patrol mom and claim a spot at one of the tables. The staff here are super nice (how can you not be working at such a place...its like the Disneyland of Peanut Butter) and give great recommendations. So many sandwich options and so many desserts! So many peanut butter varieties! But I always go for the Elvis. Elvis besides all those great hits and those moving hips, is known for his love of fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches. I like to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches for paper bag lunches because well it is the only sandwich that I can make that I will actually eat for lunch instead of raiding the vending machine or going out. Boring cold cuts doesn't cut it. But, here the Elvis is elevated to new heights. Grilled! Yes I am to lazy for that. The grilling makes for awesome caramelized bananas. And your choice of peanut butter. Maple darling? I eat the carrots that come with it because it is good for me, but I dip it in the leaking hot yummy peanut butter that comes off my sandwich. In the summer, wash this down with cold milk or a milkshake. But the winter is even more rewarding. In the winter, there are peanut butter hot chocolates. Try the dark chocolate with peanut butter. It is made with real peanut butter and is oh so decadent. The cup is really a gigantic bowl and you might be down for the count, if you finish the sandwich and the hot chocolate. Walk it off in a winter wonderland or just pass out back home on your couch. Either way, you will be happy. Even happier if you snag one of the delicious but expensive peanut butter jars to bring home.

So I went here on a Village scavenger hunt that revolved around food. Um, awesome. I got the PB&J milkshake and it was wicked good. Exactly what you'd expect... chunks of peanut butter, jelly, and ice cream. Honestly, what could possibly be wrong with any of those things??? Not cheap, and very crowded. It's a novelty. I wouldn't go there everyday, but I'm glad I've been.

Pasquale R.

Ok, it's peanut butter with different items added onto it. I just don't understand what the fuss is about it. I love pb&j (strawberry only). I mean anything here you can make at home. The jelly's they had were ok. It's amazing how when you go out and try something it tastes better than if you made it at home. Unfortunately not this place. You can make it better at home and not pay an arm and a leg to get it. Only in NYC...

I first came here 8 years ago when I first moved to the city. Today, I renewed my love for PB&Co with an "ELVIS" and a "THE HEAT IS ON". Did I mention that I finished them off with a glass of milk and a Krazy Straw? Yeah, life is good. Go. Go now!

Friends from Massachusetts were in the city for an evening and you know what they wanted the most? To eat at this little joint in the Village. They've been to this place before and just love it, and on their most recent visit, I joined them to try it for myself. We ordered a cookie dough surprise (PB with vanilla cream cheese and chocolate chips,) the PB&J club (two layers of PB&J between three slices of bread), and the Elvis (grilled PB with bananas and honey) WITH bacon! Guess which I ordered? Uhhh, the Elvis, of course! After a completely unscientific poll of the staff, I decided to try it with bacon. Couple that with a pb and chocolate milkshake, and you're definitely getting uber calories than are probably recommended by a doctor. Anyway, I really did like the sandwich, and we did a pass around to taste each others treats. The cookie dough was interesting, but not really to my liking - I didn't know cream cheese came in vanilla flavor. The club was also really good, perhaps too much bread for me. It's also cool that you can select from white, whole wheat or vegan black bread. I stuck with white, since I can't imagine that whole wheat would really do much for the nutritional value. Along with the sandwich, we each got three little carrots and a smattering of chips, which was totally lame. The place itself isn't much to look at, but the staff was pleasant and helpful (especially on the bacon issue.) The cost does seem over the top for just PB&J, but hey, they guys gotta pay the rent, right? If you're interested in trying some interesting PB combos, it's worth it once in a while, but overall, I think I'll be happy making my PB&J at home.

Hey PB & Co. If you CLOSE at 9:00 p.m., then START YOUR CLOSING ROUTINE at 9:01 p.m. and NO ONE will be dissappointed! I arrived at 8:30 p.m and they said, "We're closing soon so, 'To-Go Orders' only..."(Strike 1). Then, I ordered 'The Elvis Sandwich' and they said, "We've already turned off the grill...so, we'll just have to TOAST your sandwich, instead"...(Strike 2). It was still a good sandwich...but it wasn't a great first experience.

My cousin and I were really excited to try PB & Co., however our visit was rather lackluster. The cashier was very confused when I ordered the Elvis and asked for bacon on only one half of the sandwich (I was sharing it with a non-bacon eater). I didn't think it was a difficult request until I sat down outside by NYU Law and only found half a sandwich in the bag. When I went back, the staff was rude, unapologetic and didn't offer anything for their screw up - they just made another half (meanwhile my original half became cold) and shoved it across the counter. I wanted to go back and try a bunch of the sandwiches but it is not worth a trip downtown for such terrible service.

Mm. Peanut butter. I tried their Maple peanut butter during a picnic once and was immediately hooked. It was there that I read the back of the label and vowed that I would follow the awesomeness back to it's source. PB&Co.'s store is small, but clean, cute and homey. I went after work with my boyfriend, around 6pm, so it was empty except for a couple other PB seekers. The girl at the cashier was nice and helpful. After studying our numerous options, we went with "The King" and the sampler, with a side of milk, of course. Chunky peanut butter, fried bananas, honey, and bacon on wheat bread...all toasted to melty perfection. It reminds me of when I used to live off of grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwiches from the sandwich maker when I was a kid. Definitely comfort food. I could have done without the bacon though. It would have been better if the bacon was crispy. The sampler wasn't what I expected. I thought it would be on little sandwiches or something. Instead, it came as little containers of peanut butter and a selection of carrot and celery sticks, apple wedges, and plastic wrapped Melba toast. It was fun scooping up different flavors for every bite. It made me realize that I had tried nearly all of their special flavors from the supermarket. The only ones I hadn't tried were the smooth, chunky, hot, and cinnamon raisin. I wasn't too crazy over "The Heat is On", but the cinnamon raisin one was yummy. On a celery stick it became ants on a log, another childhood favorite. Overall, my favorite is still the Maple one with "Bee's Knees" a close second. The white chocolate one is good, though it's too subtle to be overwhelmed in a sandwich-- just eat it straight. The Dark Chocolate one is...well, chocolate. I'd like to see Nutella-Peanut Butter hybrid though. Mmm. All in all, a fun, comforting, nostalgic experience. From a purely grown-up perspective, it was way too expensive. I could have made my $8 "The King" sandwich for $1. And the jars of packaged peanut butter was $2 more than in the grocery. The Lunch Box special, a regular PB&J sandwich, was $5.The sampler was unique though, since it covered all of their flavors. Pricey, but I had to try it. I guess if you're out in about in Manhattan and are craving a peanut butter sandwich that's guaranteed to be a cut (with or without the crust! :-P) above the rest, this is where you go.

i am a peanut butter madman and am pretty thrilled that this place exists. It is a food deserving of its own little special shrine, and while this place could be better, it is respectable in the role of peanut butter shrine. It's an aww provoking little shop near Washington Square park with some standard and not-so-standard peanut butter items on its menu. Pass on the peanut butter smoothie - the peanut butter tastes ok but it is not smooth. Ice chunks everywhere. The chocolate peanut butter pie is rich and really good. Mm. Though the counter dude totally forgot to bring it out to us oops. Also, the maple syrup peanut butter they sell is majorly guilt inducing good. I eat that stuff straight from the jar. it gets over my face and shirt mmmm!

This is what I get for wanting to celebrate National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day. It is a niche eatery focused on you guess it, peanut butter. They do everything from a standard PB&J to gourmet peanut butter sandwiches. I went with the Dark Chocolate Dreams which is dark chocolate peanut butter with cherry preserves and shredded coconut. Think a Black Forest Cake sandwich. I washed it down with some chocolate milk. My issues are the credit card minimum. Really? A sandwich and milk for $9+ and you're going to force me to use cash. Second, all the sandwiches are supposed to come with carrot sticks and potato chips. They didn't have anymore chips and offered nothing in return or any price reduction. It still holds a 3 star for the taste and concept but it may be the next National PB&J day before I head back.

MichLee A.

Overpriced PB sandwiches (thank goodness I had a Scoutmob!), although the restaurant itself is cute. Cashier had a pretty sour attitude, which was a really unsavory start to my experience, but I'm definitely rating on sandwich grounds. I had the Cookie Dough, which included peanut butter, vanilla cream cheese, and chocolate chips on white bread. It was just sweet -- no real richness to the sandwich, and it wasn't even toasted (which added to its blandness). Not worth your time or money!

Decided to go to this place while I was visiting my boy in NYC the other day. Had heard about it on TV and was not disappointed. It's pretty tiny (people were waiting for tables almost the entire time I was there), but it was worth the small weight. Got an Elvis (PB & Banana with bacon) and it was to die for. Finished it off with a nice glass of cold milk, a bag of potato chips and some carrot sticks. Felt a bit like I was a little kid again and it was awesome. Probably a good thing I don't live closer, or I'd be there all the time.

What can I say, it's a peanut butter sandwich. I got the Elvis with Bacon. It was strange but intriguing and I couldn't put it down. But I felt as if I could easily make it at home for 1/3 of the price. Just too pricey for me to return.

After enjoying their Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Dreams in the jar, I knew I had to pay a visit to this peanut butter Mecca in person. If you love peanut butter, you must go here. We stopped by the shoppe on a Sunday not long after they opened for the day, and all of the tables were already taken. It actually worked out fine, because we took our sandwich to go, and we enjoyed the nice weather on a park bench down the street in Washington Square Park. I ordered the peanut butter and Nutella sandwich - great decision! It was the perfect combination of pb and Nutella, and the sandwich was huge! I ate half in the park, and nibbled on the other half throughout our day walking the city. For the price of the sandwich, you get a small bag of chips and a bag of carrots. The counter person even threw a chocolate peanut butter brownie in my brown bag (so cute, reminded me of packing a school lunch), at no cost. It was everything I dreamed it would be. Go here, you won't be disappointed!

I love the interior of this place. Stepping into Peanut Butter & Co really brings you back to a happy place. But, I find this place pretty ridiculously priced. It's two pieces of bread and peanut butter. I suggest buying a bottle of their peanut butter to go and making your own creations at home with a group of friends.

REVIEW BASED ON PACKAGED PRODUCT: I live in northern california and learned about this company from a friend. i am not a peanute butter enthusiast, i can take it or leave it. However, i do appreciate a good pb&j every now and then. I am constantly searching for new foods to try and when i heard of all the different flavored pb they make i absolutely had to try the white chocolate wonderful (i love white chocolate). I found it at whole foods about 20 mins from my house and when i got home i put it on hawaiian bread with a slice of frozen choco covered banana. DELICIOUS! also good without the banana. Can't wait to go back and try the cinnamon raisin one

Glorified PBJ. Maybe the sweet sandwiches are good, but the chicken sandwich I got was tasteless. BLEH! The only good thing was getting a jar of dark chocolate peanut butter for FREE!! Yeaahhh....those NYU coupons come in handy. I see parents with their kids in here. Really, can't you make a PBJ sandwich for your kid? Only in NYC.

Very yummy! I had their Bananaramma Sundae. It was delicious! I am going back there tonight to show my co-worker where it is and to pick up their cinnamon raisin peanut butter that everyone keeps raving about.

I love the idea of this place more than I actually enjoyed it. Everything was tasty enough, but a little pricey for what boils down to PB&J sandwiches. I totally recommend Peanut Butter & Co for a one-time novelty visit, but not for regular visits. I tried the Elvis (PB, honey and bananas, with the option to add bacon) and thought it was tasty, though the sandwich was a little dry and could have used more honey. I also tried the Heat is On sandwich (spicy PB, pineapple jam and grilled chicken), which was surprisingly delicious! I loved the combination of sweet and savory and just a pinch of heat.

Premium peanut butter meets likely (jelly, chocolate nutella) and unlikely (BLT?) breadfellows that even George Washington Carver wouldn't have thought up. I ate like the King and ordered the 'Elvis' - a pressed sandwich of peanut butter, banana, and honey. Pretty damn good if you ask me. I didn't even taste the barbiturates! My friend went with the Peanut Butter BLT which, yes, was a BLT with slathered peanut butter instead of, say, mayo. His mouth seemed to enjoy it. Can't speak for his stomach. 3.5 stars for the sandwich. Minus .5 stars for the value ($9 for that sandwich, chips, and a water?). Best deal is probably to buy a jar of Peanut Butter from them and make your own sandwiches (interesting flavors like White Chocolate PB available)

I wholeheartedly agree with Samantha B - this is a peanut butter place for peanut butter lovers, and delivers its namesake quite well. My husband got The Elvis and I had to try The Sampler. Two orders plus a milk and a cappuccino cost just under $21, so you'd better like p.b. for that price. Mark was happy with the Elvis, if not a bit "too" stuffed. The honey matched the creamy banana & peanut butter combo well, but the sandwich is pretty big. We could have split the 'wich and been completely satisfied. My crudite sampler came with crisp slices of green apple, fresh celery, sliced carrots and three Melba toast packets, all of which surrounded 6, count 'em SIX, different peanut butter flavors: Smooth Operator = your basic creamy p.b. It's definitely handmade, has a robust flavor and isn't too sugary . Minus half a star b/c the teeny tub was served too warm so the "peanut" separated from the "butter." Once it cooled a bit, though, all was well. Crunch Time = crunchy but not too crunchy, this is a texture Goldilocks would be happy to steal, er, borrow. The Heat is On = cayenne spicy. Too weird for me to eat p.b. and then need bread to douse the fire on my tongue, but my husband liked it. I could see this making a fantastic chicken satay. Dark Chocolate Dreams = this is Nutella with peanuts instead of hazelnuts. I wasn't crazy about this one. Minus half a star b/c the texture was slightly too coarse -- probably b/c I'm used to Nutella's unmatched creamy goodness -- but I digress. White Chocolate Wonderful = This could double for cake frosting and nobody would know. Very sweet, and best paired with the Melba toast to help keep my cavities from aching. Cinnamon Raisin Swirl = Samantha B. is again on target. This stuff is crack. The texture was just right. The mini raisins were sweet and plump. The cinnamon was very pronounced and smelled like a bakery. All of it paired with an apple slice and I was in heaven. Y-U-M. All in all, a very cute store. They got a quick scene on the intro for Football Sunday last week, so this niche market seems to be working for them just fine.

One of the things I love about New York City is that some idea that would seem outrageous somewhere else--like, say, a restaurant that predominantly serves peanut butter sandwiches--fits in just fine here. And, even if I'm in the minority here, I absolutely LOVE Peanut Butter & Company! Ok, yes, sometimes they run out of ingredients for their sandwiches (though I've never personally experienced this problem). Yes, they're a bit on the pricier side for something you could probably make yourself for half the price. Yes, the slightly small space can get very crowded very quickly. And, yes, the staff is so ironically aloof, I feel unhip just ordering from them (though they're always incredibly nice). All these reasons are why I cannot give Peanut Butter & Company the full five stars. BUT! And that's a big "but:" they serve, among very many other things, a Nutella and peanut butter sandwich. Is your mouth watering yet? Because mine is. And if that peanut butter/chocolate combination isn't to your tastes, then your tastes are wrong...no, no, I kid. The other sandwiches are also fantastic, especially the grilled cheese, which is made here just how it should be: buttered on both sides and toasted to crispy brown perfection. Add on some chips and carrots, a glass of milk, and the old-school cafeteria-style chairs, and I feel like I've gone back to elementary school lunch. Seriously, go here for a nice little moment of nostalgic relaxation. Bathroom Grade: N/A. I don't remember if they have a bathroom here; something tells me they don't, but honestly, I would want to keep that Nutella in my system for as long as humanly possible anyway, so it's all good.

Went here with my cousin to check the place out, she ended up getting the peanut butter smoothie (I personally thought it was disgusting) but other than that it was pretty cool. Lot of mothers bring their kids here (duh) so seating can be hit or miss. They also sell packaged custom peanut butter so if you brown bag your lunch at work you can now have upscale PB&J. Next time i go I plan to try the Elvis which has bacon - now how awesome is that.

If your reading this review then you know what this is about. It's a restaurant dedicated to peanut butter and sandwiches. It cozy and a fun place to go with someone. It's definitely worth a try. Food isn't bad a little pricey but its an experience. When do u ever see a peanut butter restaurant? I'm giving it 4 stars because of the experience and the originality with something so bland.
(4)
Jennifer M.

Its cute....thats really all that can be said here. I got the Elvis....hold the bacon! It comes with the sandwich, carrot sticks and a tiny little bag of chips for $6.50 i think. They offer coke from the bottle which is one thing that always gets me....and is gone in one gulp. There was no line when I went and it still took them about 5 minutes to make my sandwich....like they were smashing up the peanuts while I waited or something. Tourist trap and make sure you don't go right after school lets out between 2-330.....what a mess.

I stopped in and had a Seinfield Peanut butter sandwich with a glass of soy milk, it was off the hook!!!. I thought it was kind of funny that they gave me carrots and chips with my peanut butter sandwich, felt like a kid in grade school, lol. Anyway I will definitely be hitting up the spot again, I'm only giving it 4 stars out of 5 because it felt a little pricey for what it was. ~k

Chunky peanut butter, bananas and bacon on good white bread. Delicious! Could I have made it at home? Yup. That's pretty much the story here...while the sandwiches are stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth good, they are nothing you haven't heard of--the typical fluffernutter, pb & nutella, pb with honey, etc. I was expecting peanut butter enlightenment--an "Ooh, I never thought about that, and at first it sounded weird, but it was amazing!" type thing. Instead I got a very good peanut butter sandwich with a glass of milk for $11. My pb & j "sundae" for dessert: 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of hot peanut butter sauce and strawberry jam was good as well, but again, nothing original.
(3)
Scott L.

Interesting idea. Not really quite sure what I ate could pass as lunch. Ironically, they have a sign that says save room for dessert. Got the cinnamon raisin. Had raisins, apples, and vanilla cream cheese. Could only eat half of it. Imagine it would be incredible if I had a few adult beverages in me first.

Kaige H.

Yeah I've experienced better ...in my kitchen! lets be real about the prices. I could buy a jar of peanut butter, fluff & the nicest loaf & eat for a week at the price of this sandwich! Not enough filling & a big piece of fresh, burnt bread. I got a good mind to start a peanut butter stand, with a hand painted sign & charge quarter a piece & see my way to fortune.The idea isnt as original as its made out to be. someone just had the balls to open the shop & watch the fools roll in...what a trap! Look ashamed folks, your part of scam artists that people fear & help drive up the prices in NY. If you want to be trend-setting, sell a sandwich for what it's worth & you'll sell 3 times as much. As for the decor... another boring theme shop, accept it's all the crap cliche's you'd laugh at about in a kitchen in Montana, only the framed prints look like photo copies of old jelly jars & bad bread adverts! it begs the question...where is my money being spent? Can you say sh*t sandwich?

A NY restaurant dedicated to a wide variety of Peanut Butter sandwiches? Forget about it! They also have milkshakes and other sandwiches as well, including a Peanut Butter BLT if you're jonseing for some pork with your peanut butter.

I had wanted to go to this place during my first trip to the city, but it did not happen. I had seen it on the Travel Channel once and figured it was worth a try. I went with a fluffernutter. I liked it. The homemade peanut butter was great, but I wish they had grilled theirs like I do at home. They may do that if you ask, but part of me felt they would do it by default. Good experience, but I never need to go there again.

Ariel K.

Top 5 favorite things to put in my mouth, one of which is peanut butter (well, any nut butter). You can't really go wrong here--sandwhiches are large and its cute that they pack in chips/ carrot sticks for you with your meal. However. Its just a peanut butter sandwhich in the long run, that you could make at home, for, um, 10% of the cost. This place is expensive. Don't bother. Be creative. Go home.

I was not really sure how to rate the Peanut Butter & Company. The company's products are very popular in my household. However, when we made a trip to this shop there was a lot of disappointment among my companions for the day. The expectation was that we would be able to find additional flavors that we could not get in our local A&P. They did have a spicy (hot pepper) version of peanut butter everything else was the same. Since it was early evening I called the 866 customer service number of PB & C. I was very impressed with the service. The gentleman who answered the phone went out of his way to look up the shop's hours. The shop is much more a cafe than a retail operation. If your in the village and feel like something with peanut butter then this is the place for you. Probably not worth a special trip though. I wish I had purchased the spicy peanut butter. I am not a big peanut butter person but I will always try something with hot pepper in it.

Lara R.

This place has my favorite peanut butter, hands down. White chocolate peanut butter? I'm sold. I will own up to not having eaten any of their food in-house, only purchased peanut butter to go. For non-NYC-ers, their peanut butter is available in many stores (I buy it regularly at Whole Foods). Their cinnamon and raisin peanut butter is absolutely fabulous for toast or on bagels. Mmmm.

Went for lunch today - had a cappuccino and the "Heat is On" sandwich (spicy PB + chicken + pineapple marmalade). Had to, just because it was something I have never had before. Plus I was craving a little bit of protein. The sandwich was great, came with carrots and chips. Carrots were an especially pleasant addition. The sandwich was definitely spicy - had to get some water. Very good, though, and filling. The cappuccino was also right on. The only complaint I have is that the people working there were so incredibly miserable - they barely spoke, much less smiled. I felt like they were enduring the most boring and awful job of their lives. Very sad. Other than that - good food and cappuccino for a nice lunch spot if in the area and you love PB!

It seems like peanut butter should be one of those things you can't mess up.... and based on their products in the grocery store, Peanut Butter and Co. does peanut butter well. Customer service, however, is a different matter altogether. I'd wanted to go to PB&Co for months, so my roommate organized a group for my birthday. She called in advance and told them that a group of 8-10 would be coming the following evening at 7pm. "Not a problem," they said. The following evening we showed up and there was a sign on the door saying they had closed early for their christmas party. We asked to speak to the manager and he came out and said, "well, whoever you spoke to was wrong." Uhhh... thanks. No coupons. No free products. Not even a sorry!

Once upon a time I went to Heaven. When I first arrived through the pearly gates, I was greeted with open arms by a menu chock full of peanut-buttery desserts. I ordered the largest sundae I've ever seen. As much as a tried to finish the whole thing, I had to stop, stuffed and beginning to feel queasy (me + ice cream = need for bathroom). I would say the only downside is that the desserts are too big for one person to finish, and I'm pretty sure I didn't see any doggie bags with insulated freezer lining. Also, I can't give it five stars because I've never tried the food.

Bacon really IS good with everything! I got the Elvis (peanut butter, honey, bananas, and bacon) and it was super good. You must get the bacon option, I PROMISE you will like it. Also, the Cinnamon Raisin swirl, Sandwich with cinnamon raisin peanut butter and vanilla cream cheese, stuffed with crisp apples slices crunchy is DELICIOUSLY sweet.

I came here on a trip to NYC to pick up a jar of PB for my obsessed friend, then returned when I moved to NY to actually get a sandwich. It was sublime. I love peanut butter. I got the "cookie dough," which consisted of peanut butter, cream cheese spread, and chocolate chips. Three of my favorite things. I should be 400 pounds, but I'm not, so I'll go back.

AJ Y.

I bought a jar of their peanut butter before I moved here. it was indeed white chocolate wonderful, and so is their dark chocolate. their sandwiches are a disappointment though. you know how sometimes for some strange reason sandwiches just taste better when someone else makes them? That's not the case here. the waitress was nice, but the elvis sandwich i got was.... not so good. buy a jar and make your own at home and i promise it will taste much better. I think they are trying to improve though.

Ben H.

i had the Elvis. It was good but nothing special. For $7, i could buy a loaf of bread, peanut butter and some bananas and made more sandwiches than one can eat. ill probally come back if i am in the neighborhood but thats about it. Wouldnt go out of my way.

Jack N.

Strange but decent sandwiches, they should not sell 6oz Grape juices I had the Elvis (Peanut butter, honey and banana) sandwich (and I added bacon). I also got a Welch's grape juice. The cost came out to a little over $11. A bit expensive for a pb sandwich. The sandwich was good overall, I like how the banana and honey blended so well with the pb, and bacon goes well with just about anything (i'm having a bacon craze currently). But the peanut butter was kinda dry and I ended up sipping the 6oz grape juice. I mean, come on? Why the heck would you sell that? Such a tease. BTW, definitely ask them to cut the crust, the toast bread crust made the sandwich even more harder to swallow. I will probably come back to try something else (and possibly give it a higher rating). Their menu is unique enough that it deserves more than 1 visit.

There are very few times when I've ordered something that is so bad that it is inedible. This was one of those times. I ordered the cookie dough sandwich- it consisted of vanilla cream cheese, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. The combination was disgusting- I don't see how anyone could eat mounds of chocolate chips and peanut butter in one sitting. The bread was no different from store-bought bread and wasn't even toasted. I took a few bites and threw the entire sandwich away. I guess I thought the sandwiches would be better somehow (i.e. use more premium ingredients or be served warm?) because of the price. Only in New York can you spend $8 on a $.50 peanut butter sandwich! Perhaps the owners think people won't notice if it's served with three carrot sticks and a small bag of potato chips (that taste like Lays, gross). What a disappointment!

Jen K.

Yes, I can make myself a peanut butter sandwich. But omg, maybe I was hungry, maybe it was the right place at the right time, but I don't think I'd ever thought of a sandwich as much as I have this one. On a recent visit, I came here and ordered a peanut butter, nutella w/ banana sandwich on white bread, and a glass on vanilla soy milk. You know the scene in Ratatouille where the Food Critic takes his first bite and it brings him back to his childhood. Well it brought me back to what I think mine would have been if I had peanut butter, nutella and banana sandwiches, coming home after school, putting my backpack down and my mom bringing me a big glass of milk and my sandwich. The peanut butter was ultra creamy and sweet, just the way i like it. The bread wasn't dry, and the nutella and banana, well you can't go wrong.

Went with the boyfriend in 2012 absolutely loved it. Made for a really cute and unique date. Fancy food is fine but sometimes its nice to just eat food that you can recognize, pronounce, and don't have to struggle to pay for your meal and car payment in the same month. I got the peanut butter cup, its peanut butter and Nutella on big slices of white bread...how could it be bad? My boyfriend had the peanut butter sampler with a bagel instead of Melba toast. He loved every bite. They offer milk and juice and water and carrots on the side. The place is adorable. The decor is cute. The only complaints are 1. the bathroom is an absolute death trap, perhaps its been fixed by now but when we were there the floor was buckling and felt like every step you took would land you in the basement. 2. Through no fault of the restaurants it was way too packed. For such a successful place it should have a larger venue. The food is so delicious but I just am not always willing to wait for a PBJ or to stand awkwardly and try and eat my food but that's a lot of little NY places. Regardless I have no doubt that we will be back eventually.

Way overcrowded and ridiculously under staffed. Almost an hour wait for a pb and j sandwich. I'm not exaggerating

Carmen P.

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! Judging from other Yelp reviews, maybe my experience is once off? But the bread was STALE! The peanut butter itself is great, but for a restaurant that mainly serves peanut butter sandwiches, to get the main ingredient like the bread wrong is just... unbelievable. And also for the price of the sandwich you can buy a jar of their peanut butter and a good non-stale loaf of bread and make as many peanut butter sandwiches as you want. This place is not worth the money nor the trek. Check out my food blog on my profile for full review and photos!

ariela r.

This place is really cute! I love that you can sample as many of the different flavor peanut butters as you want. The staff is really friendly. I've only been twice, the first time just had a regular pb&j sandwich with the dark chocolate peanut butter, last time i had the white chocolate wonderful sandwich which was sooo good! Very filling, I had to save the other half for the next day! However, like many others have said..it's so pricey! so definitely not a place to come to too often, but it's a fun place to go to every now and then.

Chad H.

I like this place. Naturally, you have to be a fan of peanut butter to eat here. But if you are, this is the place to be. I've been here twice. The first time, I got the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl sandwich, which comes with cinnamon raisin peanut butter, natch, cream cheese, and apple slices. I wasn't sure if I'd like the combo ahead of time, but it was really tasty! The second time, I got a maple peanut butter and bacon sandwich. It was not bad, but I couldn't really taste the maple, so it was a bit of a let down. The prices for the sandwiches are a little bit expensive, but it makes sense considering the peanut butter is really unique. Plus, you get a bag of chips and some carrot sticks with it, which is not bad I suppose. I've also ordered some peanut butter from them over the web. It was tasty, but a little too expensive with shipping costs to do very often. A nice, light lunch.

Got a Jerry Sienfield today to go, opened the bag 5 minutes later in the park nearby to discover that the bagel is stale. Stale bagel with peanut butter and some honey, no sign of promised cinnamon for almost $7? Streer clear.

I came back here for dessert, and it was just as amazing as I remember. It was a bit pricey (over $6), but it was also large enough to easily satisfy two people, so not that bad overall. This place is awesome!

Ali W.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I really like this place. My favorite sandwiches are the Peanut Butter Cup (peanut butter, and NUTELLA...oh yeah!), The Elvis (grilled peanut butter sandwich with bananas and honey), White Chocolate Wonderful Sandwich (white chocolate peanut butter, orange marmalade, and sliced almonds), Dark Chocolate Dreams Sandwich (dark chocolate peanut butter, cherry jam, and shredded coconut). I used to live around the corner from this place and would also get a solo peanut butter smoothie with soy milk to wash down all those previous peanut butter sandwiches that are still stuck in my food pipe. 1 star off: They just increased the price! I guess my food pipe would be happier now.

Iris Corine B.

Went here because I wanted to see what the hype was about but it looks like I got suckered punched. Got the Jerry Seinfeld bagel and it was just a toasted plain bagel with peanut butter, honey and cinnamon. Have never had that combo before but it's probably something my little cousins make at home all the time. Oh and the coffee was kinda weak. I would probably come back some other time to try out another dessert but for now, I am not sure what's so special about the place.

Milee S.

This is a fun place. I love PB and J so I knew I wouldn't have any trouble with the menu. I had the PB (Smooth) and Nutella on white bread. It was really really good but not like I couldn't make it myself. This also comes with carrot sticks and chips. My friends had the Elvis with chunky pb, and I didn't like it. Others had ants on a log and a pb and j sundae. I do think it's a bit overpriced but it's all familiar food so you know what you are getting. I did want to try the "Pregnant Lady" which is PB and pickles. Maybe next time....

Darcy P.

Saw a special on the Travel Channel and couldn't believe I missed it since it's a stone throw away from one of my old haunts, Sullivan Room. but then again I guess when stumbling out drunk in the early AM you're not noticing much. Boy do I miss my early 20's lol. The space is small but I've never had a problem getting a table. Patience is a virtue people! Super yummy. My inner five year old was jumping for joy. The only thing missing was the dinosaur cookie cutter my mom used to use. I usually opt for the Elvis because as any foodie will tell you, bacon belongs on EVERYTHING. Also love the carrot sticks and chips that come along truly making it a "lunchbox" lunch. Adding the chips is a must when eating PB&whatever you decide you want that day. There is nothing better than salty crunchiness in creamy Peanut Butter. Oh and get dessert. I know I know you're thinking "how could I eat a sundae after a fantastic filling sand which". I will tell you how......throw caution to the wind and say F-it. ;)

Who would of thought...a restaurant devoted to peanut butter. This is a cute mom and pop shop that we strolled around during our walk in NYC. There was a huge selection of different sandwiches you can order. THe bf had their fluffernutter sandwich-- peanut butter with marshmellow spread. Each sandwich came with a bag of chips and a few carrot sticks. The sandwich was good, def an american comfort- go to meal. They also sell their peanut butter(s) at the store, but I've seen them at Target-- however they only have a few of their flavors. I wanted to sample their peanut butters but they didn't do samples. LAME. How do you expect people to buy your stuff if you don't let them try it?!!? I think they should have some samplers around...it would help people make their selections, esp for tourists who don't have the time to try every single type of sandwich they sell. That's just my two cents.

Back in February, they had a promotion going on (keep an eye out on their website!) that if you had a White Chocolate Wonderful sandwich at the restaurant, you got a jar of WCW peanut butter for free. On a rare snow day, my bf and I slogged over to the west village to see what this place is all about. (The guy is allergic to peanuts - I really had to drag him!) I got the WCW sandwich, with raspberry jelly and sliced almonds on it. The sandwich itself is really big and comes with (literally) 3 carrot sticks and a tiny bag of chips. It was really good!!! Actually filling for PB&J. The 3 carrot sticks seemed paltry... i love me some carrots, so why not a few more? Bf got a turkey sandwich and I think he enjoyed it... in general, though, I'm not sure why someone would come here (unless in his forced situation! ha) and not get a PB item. We also shared an egg cream because we had been very curious for awhile as to what an egg cream is... now we know we don't like egg creams at all. Not PB&C's fault, but just thought I'd mention it. The store itself is really cute, slightly reminiscent of the elementary school cafeteria, and has cute little newspaper clippings and such on the wall. The employees are nice and they have a little corner reserved for their store (which is mainly online). In all, I'll say that I probably won't come back to spend $7 on a pb&j sandwich. It was a good deal that day ($7 for pb&j + a $6 jar of PB). I love their PB and I buy it when it's a decent price at Wholefoods.

Connie M.

I am not particularly a fan of peanut butter, but I think that the Mighty Maple sandwich was a "mighty fine combination" without the mighty. I thought the sandwich needed some more bacon, but I may have been biased given my craving for bacon at the time. The carrots sticks that came with the sandwich proved to be excellent for scooping up the Mighty Maple pb that oozed from the sandwich. The rice milk I ordered had a sweet undertone (like rice pudding) and paired well with the sandwich. I initially thought that $6.50 for a peanut butter sandwich (even if it was with bacon) and a whopping $2.70 for a cup of rice milk was a bit pricey, but I think that it was all justified by the flavors and the fact that the meal filled me up well.

Nick L.

Very interesting. I got the pregnant lady, which is peanut butter and pickles. It brought me back to elementary school (because of the pickles, not the pregnancy)! Would recommend it for the novelty aspect, but I would need to try a few more sandwiches before giving an over the top rating for the cuisine.

Dina L.

As a Brit, I was always mystified by the American slavishness toward peanut butter and jelly. Then a co-worker brought me to this sandwich shop and now......... I get it, I get it, I totally get it............. I started out with the basics: crunchy peanut butter with grape jelly; then moved on to more imaginative spreads like marshmallow fluff. Peanut butter with bananas and bacon? Peanut butter with celery and raisins? Heaven! And that's just the sandwiches -- there are peanut butter cookies, peanut butter brownies, a peanut butter sundae .......... My pants and skirts may be unhappy with my new peanut butter fetish but my tastebuds are thanking me.

This review is for their peanut butter only. Never been to the restaurant yet but I just might make a stop next month in October. Was introduced by my cousin who recently purchased the Peanut Butter & Co., White Chocolate Wonderful at Target. Its peanut butter blended with sweet white chocolate. Please note not all Targets carry it, found it on 1st street. Its a real treat and different from just getting a Skippy or Jiff. Expect to pay about a dollar more but its what I keep my pantry stocked with now. I usually enjoy it with nutella and sometimes some bananas. When I'm craving something sweet, I make myself a peanut butter sandwich to satisfy my sweet tooth. Really excited to making peanut butter cookies with this as well.

I've taken my daughter a few times. If you like, and can eat, peanut butter, it's great. The people are always nice, always friendly. Slow as molasses, but not so slow you're going to die. Sandwiches are huge. Nothing is fancy. People in their reviews are complaining about prices. Complain about Manhattan prices, then. It's got a bathroom, it's clean, the food's big.

PB&J Sundae, that is. That's right, I'll try that. Along with some vanilla ice cream. So, according to my friend who works at Whole Foods, they use to carry this brand of peanut butter. However, due to lack of demand, they no longer carry it on the West Coast. So here goes the crusade to find this elusive treat and bring back several jars of it back home. I followed along like a whacked dog. After my initial bite, the peanut butter (which actually had some substance and a cheerful gritty texture due to being ground naturally) and strawberry jam added a bit of good home spoiling on their part. I ate the entire thing, much to my chagrin. I also ate this, surrounded by small groups of cute collegiate men from NYU. Since when are these guys allowed to be so cute and actively spouting inspirations at the next table with no restrictions.....ah, those were the days. Cute for the quick bite. And affordable.

Like others, I had the groupon deal, discovered that none of the specialty flavored butters will be in stock until January, and since the Mayans predict the world will end Friday figured I'd take what I could. The peanut butter (crunchy old fashioned) was adequate, nothing spectacular. Whole foods and Trader Joe's put out products at least as good, as do grocery stores where you grind your own from a machine. When I asked about added sugar the counter person told me there wasn't any in their products, just evaporated cane juice. Uh, right... For $3 a jar it's not a bad deal, just not what I expected. They did give a $1 coupon towards a future purchase along with a tote bag (in case anyone needs another tote bag marketing a product or cause). I'd rather have a better peanut butter experience, but so it goes. Not a place I'd go out of my way to visit.

I love this place and can't get there often enough!! Their fluffer nutter is awesome. The peanut butter with bacon and banana is super yummy and super fattening!! I can't wait to take my daughters here!!

I had the excuse of 'vacation eating' to order the Elvis with Bacon for my pilgrimage here- as I personally regard Peanut Butter to be a key component of the comfort food category. The Elvis has been covered extensively, so I will just say that it's an indulgence best saved for rare occasions, as I did have that post-Thanksgiving 'why-did-I-eat-so-much-so-fast' feeling of nausea after wards. While it was yummy, it was also heavy on the PB to the point that the bacon flavor almost got lost. Even so, you'll be hard pressed to find this many places, kudos for innovation.

Best peanut butter company the world over! I fell in love with their White Chocolate flavor years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. When I found out about their locale in NYC, I knew it was only a matter of time till we found each other. I ordered the white chocolate and orange marmalade. Divine, but not as largely portioned as one would hope. I was wishing for a mega peanut butter sandwich with thick slabs of bread, but it was whimpy. I guess I'm still in a midwest frame of mind, but I expected this place to go hog wild and really pile the peanut butter in there. It's a nice, light sandwich, but don't go in there thinking they're going to make you more full than you've ever wanted to be. They keep you wanting more. I could have demolished at least 2 PBJs.

Now this place is a pretty cool place to take you back in the day when you were a little kid. If you are a fan of peanut butter, this is a must. With so much to choose from it can get a bit overwhelming on what too choose. I decided on a BLT with of course peanut butter. I am a big fan of bacon, and the PB actually overpowers the bacon. i actually could not taste the bacon at all. But overall the sandwich was very good. I have had better BLT's elsewhere but their PB is tops!! Warning: it is a tad bit on the pricy side for a PB sandwich

Ran into this place while walking back from china town to time square.this little place is great for those who love PB . Bought a jar of spicy PB and will use it for making satey once back home in lux. 3 stars for service and coffee i tried.

Ode to PB and C. The food is novel, the quality and value only fare. The guy behind the counter, while not unfriendly, hardly seemed to care. Chicken, pineapple jam, and ground nut butter, small bag of chips, carrot slices, need not bother. My visit a first, I will in the future pass, a review not so good, but certainly not the last.

Awful, awful, awful. I have never been so unsatisfied with the food and service of an establishment. The sandwich I had tasted of pure sugar with stale bread. The bacon that was in my sandwich was sad and undetectable underneath the sugary peanut butter. Unfortunately, the sandwich, drink, and piece of pie for dessert (which, surprisingly, was the least sweet out of all the items), came out to about $15. Before I moved to NYC three years ago, I had seen a special on this place and I was really anxious to give it a try. I am glad I did, and will never step foot inside this establishment again.

Came here after they gave out tons of free peanut butter jars in the Open House Gallery a month ago. The place is small, but you can sample all their peanut butter. Absolutely LOVE the white chocolate one!! Just a note though, the dark, normal, and spiced ones were half off at Whole Foods, but they didn't have the amazing white chocolate.

Food was just as good as I'd hoped it would be, definitely worth the trip into the city. The variety of breads and peanut butter makes this place incredible. I'm planning to order some of the different peanut butter's to have at home.

Mike R.

Let's start with the food. My wife had a peanut butter sundae and I had a peanut butter waffle sandwich. Both were pretty mediocre. The peanut butter is decent, but everything else is basic supermarket quality goods thrown together in a bowl. Absolutely nothing special going on here. The main reason for 1 star was the service. We arrived around 845pm on a Friday, which means it should be open until 10pm (according to website, no hours posted on the door). Our order was taken by a newer worker who had, I'm guessing his boss, staring over his shoulder the entire time. The worker seemed to get everything done right (we had a coupon so it was non-trivial), but his boss was still a complete douchebag to him. While waiting for our order we looked around for a seat. Keep in mind this entire place is about a 15x15 room. Only about 2/3 of the customer floorspace was occupied by tables, and they were mostly full. Squeezed tightly between 2 other parties was a table that could fit 2, but it only had 1 chair. The other 1/3 of the place had 4 small tables stacked up. I easily turned one of those 4 tables upside down so we had room to sit. The douchebag bossman immediately scolded me and told me that "section" (seriously, 4 tiny tables, maybe 5x5 floorspace) was closed. I put the table back and we took a chair (from a stack against the wall) against douchebag bossman's objections so we could both sit. I understand sometimes people clean an area of a restaurant and close it down so they don't have as much to clean when they close the whole place, but this was not a section, this was a corner of the room. It would take 1-2 minutes to clean. This was also an entire hour from closing time. At this point another 6 people were in line ordering, including a few young children, and it was 10 degrees so everyone was ordering to stay. Other people started asking about the closed "section" but douchebag bossman insisted it was closed and wouldn't even let people unstack child stools for their young children. Eventually people did ignore him and unstack child stools, but 1/2 the customers were standing and eating their food (including normal plates, like a sandwich and chips, this was not just ice creme cones or something) since doucebag bossman was apparently trying to close early and didn't want to clean any extra 1.5x1.5 tables. In case anyone with power within the Peanut Butter & Co world reads this and wants to have a chat with doucebag bossman, he was the only white guy with a hipster beard working there around 9pm on Friday 1/20/2012.

I love peanut butter. I love white chocolate. To have a white chocolate peanut butter sandwich was almost more anticipation than I could handle. I should have gotten it plain. They ruined it with the orange marmalade :( I ended up scraping most of it off with my carrot sticks. However, I liked the little bag of chips, perfect portion of salty crunchiness, the bottles of grape soda and the peanut butter cookies...oh man. I'd go back if I was in the neighborhood, but this time I'd try the peanut butter and nutella sandwich. Unless they put marmalade on that one. And next time I'd buy more peanut butter cookies. The girl working the counter was SOOO nice, very friendly and eager to help, without being overly perky and annoying. Tiny place inside, seating for 2 four tops and maybe 3 two tops. But Washington Square Park is just up the way, so you could eat in the park on a nice day. Check out V Bar across the street for a cup of coffee.

We had 36 hours in New York, this was one of our top destinations, and we were not disappointed. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we made a special trip back on the second day for more. Elvis: unreal, delicious, to die for. Try it with Maple PB. This is what convinced my boyfriend to plan our 2nd day around a return trip. Pregnant Lady: PB and pickles. Something was missing, and I was determined to concoct an improvement. This is what convinced me to go back. My sandwich, "The Labor Inducer": Heat is On PB, pickles, cream cheese, grilled on white. I was in heaven. I finished it all before my boyfriend even bit into the second half of his Elvis. Service: Both days brought extremely friendly/bubbly counterstaff.

I love the concept of specialty stores and everybody in my group seem to be up to trying this place. As usual dishes are rated 1 - 10, 10 being amazing. $6.50 Tuna Fish Sandwich (2) Nothing special, just a regular sandwich you can get anywhere. I was a little disappointed somebody in our group order this. Maybe they missed the concept. $7 The Elvis (4) Again somebody else ordered this and I didn't realize they got it without bacon. What's the point if it doesn't have bacon. That's what makes this sandwich creative. $6.50 Cinnamon Raisin Swirl (7) This sandwich gave me my first taste of the vanilla cream cheese. You have to add vanilla extract to cream cheese, it's so good. Could do without the apples. $7 The Heat Is On (6) My choice. Chicken and peanut butter, creative combination and it worked, but the quality of the sandwiches thus far were not that good. I think they should you thicker bread and toast everything. $6.50 Dark Chocolate Dreams (5) I'm not a big coconut fan, so this one was just OK. $6.50 PB&J of the Week (3) PB and Trail Mix? Could you imagine if they had Got Trail Mix? commercials with a dog eating PB and then shoving trail mix down his throat. It wouldn't happened because dry and and extra dry don't go well together. Bad sandwich. Overall, I think if you do one thing, you should do it well and the sandwiches weren't that great. I would stop by for the creativity, but I wouldn't make a return visit.

We went for our monthly free date from howaboutwe.com . They served us a specialty sandwich off the menu, which was WONDERFUL. We also got to sample their Thai Chicken Sandwich made from their "Heat is on" peanut butter. We are believers now. Will totally go back. It was AMAZING. Loved the service too. Wish we had gotten the staffer's name, she was SUPER DUPER.

I guess I didn't think Peanut Butter and Co would literally have all Peanut Butter sandwiches, I'm not sure why, it makes perfect sense. When I was a kid I would have rather starved then eaten a PB&J. I have never been a fan, so when we walked in for lunch I was stuck, what do I order? I got the Heat is On with chicken, a spicy peanut butter and pineapple marmalade. It's the only savory peanut butter sandwich, though they do also have egg salad and those types. It was pretty good, but why would I eat out something I could have at home for pennies? I got three dry carrot sticks and about five potato chips with it for $7. Why is this Jerry Seinfeld's spot?

So Jen S. suggested this place when we hung out this past Friday. Since we were checking out 'The Little Lebowski' store, it made sense to go here since it was just around the corner. Also, the idea of a place that specializes in peanut butter? Let's just say I was intrigued. So I got a 'Fluffernutter' - an old standby at my NH house growing up. It's just peanut butter and marshmellow Fluff. You have a choice of chunky or smooth. Combined with a water, that cost me $8.00. It would, of course, be much more cost-effective to just buy the supplies and make it at your home, but... it's kind of charming to have it served up on a plate. The decor was retro and adorable; it was a place I actually liked being in. The 'cook' also came out and asked to make sure everything was good. When we asked her what was in one of the shakes, she made herself one and let us try it. That? Is service you don't get in NYC. Definitely a place worth going and someplace I'll probably make a point to go back to.

Dannelle A.

Friends of some friends had told us about this place and decided to check it out while in the city. Great menu, wish we had more space in our tummies so we could have tried a couple different of sandwiches. Only 3 stars because the staff were ok, not too friendly. The PB and nutella was good & liked the PB & J shake! Will definitely try this place again next time in NYC.

Steve H.

I'm tempted to give this place an extra star based on the novelty alone (I mean, it's the only peanut butter-centric eatery I know of), but I couldn't manage it. I like PB & Co., mainly because I like peanut butter and also because I was curious how you could incorporate it into more things than just PB&J or an Elvis. Unfortunately, the PB&J has so far turned out to be the best thing on the menu. Everything else (from the other sandwiches to their line of peanut butter) are more interesting than they are delicious. I was pretty excited about how friendly the staff was given that I'd spent the entire day before that dealing with some waiters, cashiers, and clerks who acted as if they'd never had a happy day in their lives (but the city will be as it is). I was happy from the first when I actually got a real-life smile from the girl behind the register. It complimented the comfort food well. Oh well, PB & Co. At least you're an original.

Heath R.

Met a friend for lunch here today, and the whole experience took me back to grade school. Larry got the peanut butter club with grape jelly. I got the lunch box special with strawberry jam. He got skim milk. I got whole milk. And both sandwiches came with a small bag of potato chips and some carrots. Not a bad gimmick for a sandwich shop, although it's not as arty as a peanut butter sandwich joint I remember on Market Street in San Francisco. I forget what that's called -- is it still there? But as wholesome and real your lunch might feel, it will also feel like an extravagance. You can make a peanut butter sandwich at home. It'll cost a heck of a lot less. This will run you $8. But it won't feel as special as having someone else make it for you -- like your mom, or the folks at PB&Co. I'll likely go back -- it's a fun place to meet someone for lunch -- but probably not too soon.

This place is a lot of fun for tourists!! We found it easily enough, but were a little surprised at how small this place is (pretty much our experience everywhere we went in NYC). Usual hipster University student types work there, and I get the distinct impression they will continue to work there once they graduate. I had the Elvis which was da bomb. Any time you can get bacon, honey, fried bananas, and peanut butter on a sandwich you know it's going to be good. Yes, one can make this at home but one can make any restaurant food at home, more or less. Unique restaurant idea, and they really seem to care about the peanut butter. The staff was extremely helpful in helping us find McSorley's which was a bit of a hike from the restaurant. The cashier had a genuine New Yawk disagreement with the owner (manager?) about where McSorley's was. They went back and forth for ten minutes and couldn't agree. We went with what the cashier said, and he was correct.

Alright, to start things out, take this place as what it's meant to be: a fun peanut butter-centric restaurant that is meant to please the kid in the customer. Some reviewers seem to be forgetting this, and sound like they expected some 4-star meal (are meals based on 4 or 5 stars??). It's like people who bash the OC not realizing that it's meant to be a superficial, nighttime soap opera for teens. You need to adjust your frame of reference, Yelpers, and rate a place on how well it's living up to its mission statement. Now that that's taken care of.... PB & Co. is a favorite of mine. The Cinnamon Raisin Swirl is the best dessert-for-dinner meal of all time. Luscious. The restaurant asks you to test your normal palette and go out on a limb mixing strong individual flavors and textures. Put your faith in the tried and true combos and you should come away satisfied and stuffed (the size of these sandwiches make them the beefy linebackers of the PB&J team). Please don't come here if you don't like peanut butter and then say their grilled cheese sucks. Would you go to a steakhouse and order the fish? Come for the peanut butter, try the milkshakes and, yes, expect to pay a bit more than if you were whipping up an impostor-wich at home (it's a restaurant in Greenwich Village, ya dig?).

this place has so much potential, but it falls so short. awesome concept, weak execution. the bread is mediocre, their options limited. i've eaten here a handful of times over the years and will probably visit again. not awful, but really not worth what you're paying.

Esther A.

ok, maybe it is a little overpriced. you may consider it a tourist trap, but i loved it. am i tourist? *sigh* i suppose i am now, but i did live there for a short stint a while back. so does that make me only "half" a tourist? back to the review. i give it 4 stars for the creativity and the service. the girl behind the counter was really nice and suggested DELICIOUS sandwiches. yeah, yeah.... you could probably just make it at home, but it always tastes SOOO much better when someone else makes it for you, no? i had the elvis (yup, i did my yelp homework), and it totally paid off. it was really good! had a bite of the BLT.... wasn't sure about this, but it had a strange yumminess to it. probably wouldn't be back, but will always check them out to see what kind of sandwiches they have and i suppose i can save like $6 for a PB sandwich.

so expensive. but for some reason you're there and its worth it. I had a club sandwich; wheat bread, raspberry jelly, spicy peanutbutter, wheat bread, blackberry jam, crunch peanutbutter, wheat bread. and a root beer. o and the carrots. monstrous sandwich. i really just like the space, great vintage peanut butter jars and posters. ill eat here again.

Emily K.

I feel like I'm entering a toy box or something like that whenever I come here -- it's so old school and cute without being too kitschy. There's something all heart-warming about seeing those old posters on the wall advertising peanut butter and school box lunches and gulping it all down with a fresh glass of milk... ohhhh, elementary school lunchtime nostalgia... So $6 for a sandwich you could make at home is not so practical, but you pay because you don't want to make it, right? It's all about novelty factor here, kids. There's some neat stuff, like the thai chicken with peanut butter... and their dessert fare seems really fun (like the peanut butter & jelly smoothie and some other cool ones). And yet as much as I try to bring myself to try something new, I CANNOT wean myself off their Elvis (peanut butter, banana, honey, and optional bacon) or their cinnamon raisin PB + apple slices + vanilla cream cheese sandwich. I especially love how they give you carrots along with your sandwich... such a homey, Mommy touch, along with the milk! Plus they don't skimp on sandwich size either, so you'll be pleasantly sated after. If you DON'T feel like plunking down money for just your "regular" old sandwich, however, come to get their peanut butter or jars of fluff, or the peanut butter jar sets -- they make good gifts! And cool PB flavors -- white chocolate, dark chocolate (DO IT), cinnamon raisin, spicy, chunky, smooth... you name it.

"Let's just keep ordering and eating until one of us dies of a heart attack. Wanna race?" How could my boy refuse an offer like that? These were the challenges: The Elvis: pork and peanut butter magic. Bring it. Mocha Latte: One of the best I've ever drank..drunk..whatever. Unlikely coffee place? Bananarama: EMBARRASSING DESSERT ALERT. It was really big and fluffy. When they called my name to pick it up from the counter it sounded alot less like "Alicia" and alot more like "Whoever ordered this is a gluttonous pig with absolutely no self control whatsoever and even though this is one of our own menu items we are ashamed of you for ordering it." I made my boyfriend go up to the counter to get it. And yes it was effing amazing. Especially because the sandwiches are stupidly priced, I'll give a big plus for the $25 6 pack peanut butter sampler (all six of their peanut butter flavors that are individually priced at $6 a pop). Make the sandwiches at home, people (you can also avoid sitting in close quarters to icky yuppy babies this way too). The dark chocolate PB is a great alternative to Nutella, especially for those oof us who abhor hazelnuts as much as I do.

Brownie and I have reviewed Peanut Butter and Co already, but after having dinner and desserts there last week we decided to add another review. Some new and exciting sundaes were added to the menu since we were last there. We simply had to try the PB Brownie Sundae. On the bottom of the huge bowl is one of PB and Co's signature peanut butter brownies. They break up the ultra fudgey, peanut butter swirled brownie into pieces before covering it with vanilla ice cream. Layered on top is spoonfuls of smooth operator (their homemade smooth peanut butter), chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and mounds of whipped cream!!!! We don't think we need to convince anyone who loves PB and chocolate to try this ice cream creation. When you get a bite of brownie, PB, ice cream, and chips, there is a moment when everything is right in the world!!! PB and Co is also famous for their PB and Chocolate Pie. Brownie and I decided we couldn't leave this tasting without trying the signature dessert! The pie from top to bottom is: a chocolate cookie crust, a thin layer of chocolate espresso fudge, a very thick layer of a creamy, whipped peanut butter filling, and finally chocolate and peanut butter chips. The pie was a cross between a cheesecake and mouse consistency. We really loved the PB filling and topping, but the espresso layer threw us off. Brownie and I thought it would have been better without that layer, especially since it is not described on the menu. But, this pie was still delicious and made fresh everyday. Don't just go to PB and Co for dessert though, they also serve some amazing peanut butter sandwiches. In January, they had a "create your own" sandwich option, which was a great idea in our opinions. xoxoBlondie justdessertsnyc.com

I used to work down the block from here and yet never went but heard rave reviews. Finally I decided it was time to go! I went with a friend and had a delicious sandwich. We both enjoyed it. Best part of the experience was Jerry Seinfeld walking in with his daughter, and the adorable little girl pointing to the menu and saying "daddy, there's a sandwich named after you!" It was precious.

Olivia W.

Definitely too expensive for a good old-fashioned PB&J, but I still love this place. The sandwiches are big, the vanilla cream cheese is yummy, and the staff is super sweet (the woman behind the counter always tells me "good choice" after I order). I never have room for dessert, but it always looks good. A great place if you're looking to make lunchtime happy and nostalgic. I sometimes bring friends from out of town here. On the downside - it's always a bit too cold in there....

Anthonine P.

I know, I know, I know... $5 to $7 for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But note that these are not just ANY pb&j sandwiches... these are GOURMET pb&j sanwiches. So forget about Skippy & Smuckers on Wonder bread, cuz Peanut Butter & Co. is the real deal. PB & Co. has options stacked on options with a heaping side of options. Six different types of all-natural peanut butter (smooth, crunchy, cinnamon raisin, spicy, white & dark chocolate), white and wheat bread (crusts on or off!), grilled or cold, cherry or strawberry jam, bananas, honey, bacon (yes, bacon!), marshmallow fluff, gnutella, chicken, apple, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON! It's hard to get the same sandwich twice... not because the last wasn't great, but because there so much more to try. And don't stop at the sandwiches, which come with carrots and a bag of chips. Make sure you roast marshmallows - the wait staff will bring you a contained bonfire, complete with marshmallows and pointy sticks. You can also get a banana split or an ice cream float for dessert, which are both yummy and filling. This place is tiny and gets crowded around lunch time, so consider take out around the middle of the day. It's clean (bathroom included), the staff is usually v. nice, the food is made on the spot, and service is fast. I recommend this place most of all, not for the peanut butter enthusiasts out there, but for people that don't normally care for peanut butter (like myself). The smorgasbord of peanut butter sandwiches and flavors offers something for everyone. Go inside. Forget about the price. Choose a sandwich off the menu or create your own concoction to please your taste buds. Mine is a grilled cinnamon-raisin peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat with fluff and bananas. Ohhhhh, yeahhhh.

Tempest B.

Wow, no love for PB&Co? That's sad. I guess I'll be the only fan here. I used to attend NYU (I know, boo, I hated it, too) and that's how I found this place. My first thought was, like so many others, $5.50 for a PB&J? What?? I tried it, though, and I loved it. Haven't stopped eating there since (not very often, though). Here's the thing that makes these sandwiches so good and worth the price: the Peanut Butter itself. Yes, the gourmet combinations are really good, but they would not be that good if the PB&Co. folks slapped some JIF on some bread and called it a day. They make their own peanut butter and they keep it warm back there in the kitchen. That's the secret. This is why I don't buy the jars they sell - it's not fresh. I make my own nut butters occassionally, so I know how much better they are than the stuff that comes in jars. That crap has preservatives and whatever other insanity they add to make it smooth and creamy like that. No, thank you. I'll take my nut butter ground, warm, with a touch of honey. This is how they do it at PB&Co. Warm, fresh peanut butter on toasted bread with a good jelly is better than any sandwich ever made with a store-bought butter. Hands down. I don't have a blender, so occassionaly I must go spend $5.50 for my PB fix. If you walk in there with the attitude that no PB&J is worth that much money, you're not going to enjoy it. If you walk in with an open attitude, then you may find it's the best PB&J you've ever had. Fight your way though the silly tourists and have one every now and then. It's the best.

I love this place. I most often go when wandering up Broadway hungry, or when I want to stop by Generation Records. I used to be very typical and just get the Elvis. Whenever I tell anyone about a bacon, banana, peanut butter, and honey sandwich they'd get turned off (like my drummer), but now it is one of his favorite meals. I recommend the Elvis With Bacon and the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl (Cinnamon Raisin PB + Apples + Vanilla Cream Cheese). The tuna melt isn't bad either. This place is almost always a solid experience. It reminds me of an old kitchen with the wood decor. I've never had a problem with the service, I order, sit down, and it comes before I can turn the page of The Onion. There has never been a messed up order or a bad experience. Sometimes it just gets crowded, I just go to Generation Records, browse, and there is a table. Simple. Ah, PB&Co...you make me want to experiment with Peanut Butter!

Cody W.

Now this is a unique concept, a place that sells nothing but PB sandwiches. The decor inside is kinda 1940's-50's Americana. Like going for a snack in Mayberry. It's worth a try at least once for the novelty, but it's the "Elvis" (grilled PB with honey, bananas, and BACON!!!) that will make you come back for more.

Jasmine J.

We stopped in for lunch last week and it was A-OK. I got a grilled cheese and a coke and my boyfriend got the pb&j and milk. It wasn't as over-priced as the other reviewers are making it out to be, maybe $15 for two? Not bad, I say. The food was fine and the atmosphere was nice. My favorite part was the counter guy, "Talk to me!" It was a nice lunch on a rainy day for an ok price.

Peter A.

Hmmm. I. Love. Peanut Butter. If you're looking for something "a little different" or you want to experience what its like to eat what a prego woman would eat, come on by to PB&J co. Aside from your typical PB&J sandwiches that your parents used to make for you, now they have a variety of sandwiches with odd combinations. I tried the PB club sandwich as well as the Pregnant ladies sandwich. The former similar to a BLT and the other with Pickles on it. Odd indeed, but honestly the hint of its "Peanutbutterness" was very light. The main killer was the bread, It was so dense that it was like eating foam. I think if I had gotten the PB with Marshmallow fluff I'd be a happier person. I'll come by again, but hopefully they'll change their bread to something a little lighter....who knows, I might add another star!

Kirsten K.

Very very meh. I like the concept so I was excited to try this out. I got the Elvis, which I thought I would LOVE because I love PB and all the rest. It was so darn basic and bland. They need to get better bread, big time. I guess I thought this would be the best PB sandwich of my life, but it didn't even measure up to what my mom used to put in my lunchbox when I was a kid.

I wish I could live here. I love this place right down to the yellow kitchen decor. I have a strong obsession with peanut butter so obv. I knew I'd like this place. The first time I went I got a a bagel with peanut butter, honey, cinnamon and maybe some other stuff I can't remember and it was SO GOOD. Total comfort food. My friend and I eyed a particular sundae on the menu and I've been dying to try it since. Something with brownies and peanut butter which is basically my kind of anything. I went back another time solely to have this sundae and they were out of brownies. WHAT! Ugh. So I got another sundae, something with bananas which was totally good but I was really sad about the lack of brownies. So I have yet to try this wonderful sundae. Someday. The prices are pricey but its manhattan. Its also a place that serves peanut butter everything so I'd pay anything. Oh and good luck getting a table. Its tiny in there.

My girlfriend is going to be pissed that I only gave this place 3-stars. This is nothing to be ashamed of, 3-stars is still "A-OK", just not in my best. Okay, going into this place I knew it was going to be a pricey novelty restaurant and in the end that is what it is/was. I had the Elvis with bacon which was quite good, but in the end I don't think it's anything too special. The sandwich is an okay size, the bread and bacon are good and the peanut butter (PB) is great, but I don't think $7+ is worth it. I didn't walk away craving more like I do with Shake Shack or DiFara's, or etc. One thing I would recommend is picking up some of their peanut butter for home.

I have been known to dream about the Elvis...make sure to get it with bacon!

I made a specific trip to The Village after hearing about this place - I had a relative in town with her 7-year-old daughter and I wanted to find a kid-friendly place for lunch. Peanut Butter & Company is tiny so you may have to fight/scavenge for a table but the staff is super sweet and attentive and the menu is great - any kind of PB combo you can imagine. I went with The Elvis - PB, Bananas & Honey grilled (sans bacon) - though I was waffling between 4 different sandwiches, so I'll definitely have to return. They also have have non-PB fare like tuna melts and other sandwich standards. Only in NYC can they charge $6+ for a peanut butter sandwich, but it was so kitschy and cute that I didn't mind - plus the kid loved it!

Great Place! If you love peanut butter, you will love this place! Only one block away from Washington Square Park. Grab a sandwich and a shake and spend a cool day in the park. Make sure to try DEATH BY PEANUT BUTTER!!! It has Peanut Butter Captain Crunch on the bottom with 3 scoops of Vanilla ice cream. Topped off with whipped cream, peanut butter sauce. Then it's finished with a sprinkling of peanut butter chips and Reese's Pieces!!! SO GOOD!!!

The peanut butter is delicious. I highly recommend the Elvis without bacon. The sandwich contains peanut butter, banana, and honey all toasted up on bread. Ask for it with the crust cut off. I purchase their cinnamon raisin peanut butter at Whole Foods to make delicious toast at home.

If you subscribe to the theory that peanut butter is fun food (how could you not?? You add marshmallow to it, reminds you of childhood, it sticks to the roof of your mouth, you swirl some PB on your finger from the jar (oooops...how crass!!!!), then this is a great place. Home made PB and some serious sandwiches (ok, ok..that contradicts the fun food part, so how about..good sandwiches??). The breads are fresh and perfectly textured for these sandwiches, the PB is full flavored (chunky is better than smooth...ALWAYS!!!!) and some classic choices. The fluffernutter is there, the Elvis, PB and chocolate. But the best thing here are the PB shakes. The Mary Jane shake (PB and honey) is superb (tastes just like the candy) and rates among the best in the City.

I'll start by saying how much I love peanut butter. Even better with chocolate or hazelnut. Needless to say, I was dying to go to Peanut Butter & Company and try the peanut butter/Nutella sandwich. Unfortunate that it did not live up to expectations. I cook about as well as a trained puppy but my own peanut butter and nutella sandwich is better. PB&C is fine but I was expecting something sublime. If you're in the area and craving something peanut butter, it's worth a shot. Otherwise, grab some skippy and Nutella and go to town.

OK, so it turns out that I was a sucker for their Chocolate Show coupon. Buy a sammich and get a jar of PB for free. Heck, why not right? I already knew the sammiches were going to be $7.50-$8 before going, so I was prepared for that. What I wasn't prepared for was the fact that they use the equivalent of wonder bread, but with a much thicker and chewier crust here. You get the option of white or whole wheat. You also get 3 carrot sticks and a mini plastic bag of wannabe Lay's chips, but their brand instead. I don't know how the place was 75% to capacity as moms brought their kids in and people threw out half eaten sammiches. They sell latte, etc here as well. Scary how I felt ripped off, even WITH our 2 free jars of peanut butter ($6/ea value). Don't get me wrong, the quality is of their PB great here, but the execution sucks. I may be back just to pick up a jar of PB in passing, but definitely not to eat in. -The Elvis ($7.50) [a grilled peanut butter sandwich, stuffed with bananas and honey. try it with bacon for that extra indulgence. long live the king!] - we added bacon for +$1. At least this was grilled, very good, but saw oil drops as I ate it. Tough to justify for $7.50 but this is probably your best bet there. -The Heat Is On Sandwich ($7.50) [spicy peanut butter and chilled grilled chicken, with a little bit of pineapple jam. like a thai satay - only better.] - WAY TOO MUCH PINEAPPLE JAM, WAY TOO LITTLE CHICKEN. In fact, I had to complain due to the paucity of chicken when I flipped over my bread. They added two more TINY pieces and considered the situation rectified. Little do they know that I am a monster on yelp...hah!, this was a huge fail, they might as well have called it PINEAPPLE JAM SAMMICH w/ chicken shreds. -Stewart's bottled drinks (ginger, orange cream) - way too sweet to an already super sweet experience Total came out to $11/pp after everything Pics: meetup.com/teamfoodie/phâ€¦

The shakes are really simple but awesome. I don't think I'll ever muster up the courage to try a pb + honey + bacon sandwich, but this place functions as a great dessert place. I continue to come here late at night, especially when I don't want ice cream.

It seems amazing that a restaurant that serves only peanut butter related foods could be successful but this place always has a crowd on weekends and clearly has a number of repeat customers. I've learned to stick with the traditional PB&J sandwich, served with your choice of three jelly flavors along with crunchy or plain peanut butter and the chips and carrots on the side. You just can't mess up the classic and their jelly and peanut butters just taste so much better than my normal grocery store brand. The traditional PB&J is one of the cheaper sandwiches on the menu. The fluffernutter + peanut butter sandwich was MUCH too sweet for my taste and left me with an insane sugar high. I have friends who swear by the Elvis or the Seinfeld sandwiches which give you a chance to try the gourmet peanut butter varieties like the cinnamon raisin peanut butter. I tried one of the peanut butter milkshakes and was really impressed. I never thought of putting peanut butter & jelly into a shake before but it is seriously good. I'm a little sad I have yet to try one of their picnic basket combinations. It is the coolest little picnic basket that they'll put together for you so you can go have a picnic in Washington Square Park, AND you get to keep the basket.

Their PB is just amazing, even when you buy it in the store. Their flavors are unique and delicious and really help make your at home pb&j something out of the ordinary. Their sandwich creations in the shop are even better. Yes, it's a little pricy for just pb&j sandwiches but I think they are worth a little spluge. They also have many things for those non-pb lovers in your life!

I came in with my Groupon and was pleased with the respect I got for my Groupon and the value I got for a dollar. They had a fantastic selection of all of the favorites for us peanut butter lovers. peanut butter and bananas and chocolate chips with the fluff WOW......problem is the peanut butter is filled with oils so it does not separate. I don't like that. I like when it separates as it shows that the tree killing palm oil was not used and the peanuts and the oil naturally separate with no additives. The maple was delicious BUT tremendous amounts of sugar in it. I was crunching the sugar granules in my teeth after I ate a teaspoonful. I threw both the white and dark chocolate away because they were taeteless and fattening. Pass on this peanut butter. I like the Smuckers Natural a thousand times more.

Ryna D.

I can't quite decide whether I like this place or not. We tried it out because of the howaboutwe free date. The sandwich was mediocre but it was nice to get to sample their different kinds of peanut butter. We decided to take home a jar of the maple and the spicy one. I love the maple one and can't get enough of it. Meanwhile I can't stand the spicy one on its own but I do think it'll be great for cooking.

I split the cinnamon raisin swirl sandwich with a friend. Yummy. But the service was confused, the brownie she ordered was apparently very meh, and the cashier made an unnecessary and unkind comment when he saw her picking at it implying that she shouldn't have eaten a dessert. Really soured the experience for both of us, although my sandwich was delicious.

Food E.

Cute shop. My review is really for the product as opposed to the food at the restaurant though. The menu looked good but I got a bunch of the different jars of peanut butter. I love the dark chocolate dreams - perfect with pretzels I've also used it in making chocolate peanut butter pretzel bars. I also tried the mighty maple which was good. I gave the cinnamon raisin one to a couple of people along with some of the other peanut butters but that one in particular was one of the favorites (adults and children).

Holy peanut butter, batman. If you are obsessed with chocolate, this place is your mecca. I've had their jarred peanut butter which are phenomenal so when I discovered this place, I had to stop by. I was solo but I had to get the Death by PB. The name says it all. Layers upon layers of peanut buttery goodness. I barely finished half but I made a solid effort. Next time I'll bring a partner.

The peanut butter sold by this brand is fantastic, but the restaurant itself is a serious disappointment. My boyfriend and I made the mistake of coming here for dinner, since we had purchased a Groupon and had some free time after work. First-- unlike the Groupon I bought 2 years ago, they mandated a pre-selection of peanut butter and would not let us substitute for flavors we actually wanted. Well, fine...their promotion, their prerogative. We then ordered sandwiches from a clearly stoned and uninterested cashier, which took at least 15 minutes to arrive at the front desk. No one in the place was polite or even terribly aware of the fact that we were giving them our business. My "bees knees" sandwich had about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter smeared across some crumbly white bread, and hardly any apple butter. The wheat germ was undetectable and the accompanying bag of chips + 3 carrot sticks were almost comical in their tiny portions. My boyfriend's "Elvis" was burned and contained 2 shriveled strips of bacon. If for some reason we had $20 to splurge on a mid-afternoon snack, then we might not have been so cranky. But we actually had to go for dinner (again) about an hour later. My advice to PB&Co. is to gain a little humility and focus on service. We get that your main bag is merchandise, but if you're going to charge $8.50 for a peanut butter sandwich, why not deliver something special? The flavor combinations are creative and delightful, but the service and scant presentation left a bad taste in my mouth...

Yesterday was my second visit to PB & Co. During my first visit, I tried the peanut butter sampler, which came with 8 flavors of peanut butter paired with celery sticks, carrot sticks, melba toast, and apple slices. It was a great way to try all the different types of PB that PB & Co. had to offer. My friend and I were able to dip each of the vehicles (double dipping allowed!) into the different types of peanut butter and pick our favorites. It also comes with enough peanut butter to take home and use for days to come. Would recommend getting this if you want to buy a full sized peanut butter from PB & Co. and aren't sure which one you want. During yesterday's visit, I tried The Elvis despite the warning from Luong, one of the guys working the counter, that it's one of the messiest sandwiches they have on the menu. The Elvis is a perfectly grilled peanut butter sandwich stuffed with bananas drizzled in honey with the option of adding bacon if you want. As with all their sandwiches, you can customize it with bread type and flavored peanut butter. We went for the wheat bread with the classic crunchy peanut butter with no bacon. The verdict? It was delicious and nostalgically took me back to snack time after school. The bananas were warm and sweet from the grill, and the crunchy peanut butter added an added texture dimension. And Luong was right! Our hands were sticky from the honey, but nothing a little bit of finger-licking couldn't solve. Note: There's a Groupon that I've purchased twice in the past where you get an assortment of 4 flavored peanut butters inside a cute branded tote bag. Yesterday, I received the following flavors in my bag: cinnamon raisin, mighty maple, dark chocolate dreams, and white chocolate wonderful.

3.5 stars - A cute little shop specializing in peanut butter goodies right behind NYU. Not sure how long this store has been around but I didn't notice it when I was in college. Being not the biggest peanut butter fan myself (actually frowned when given reese's cups and pieces for Halloween and never liked anything to do with peanut butter), I asked my maid of honor to be my howaboutwe date to load up on some carbs and fats before our all day bridal appointments. We appeared for our reservation and there was only 1 person working behind the counter. Although he had to deal with getting all the orders together, serving the tables, making the sandwiches + drinks, he was very professional, organized, and on top of things. He had a list of all the reservations ready and quickly matched our names + led us to the "reserved" table. We were given the option of hot or iced coffee and a platter of sandwiches of the day (cut into a heart shape)+ carrots + chips. The sandwich of the day happened to be "strawberry shortcake" - cream cheese, strawberry jam, smooth peanut butter on toasted white bread. He was generous with the spread and I ended up forking the sandwich since I couldn't take a full bite without everything dripping out. Nothing too out of the ordinary with the sandwich - just fillings overload - so heavy. As part of the howaboutwe date deal, we were given the option to try all of their peanut butter flavors and leave with 2 full size jars with the flavor of our choice. Since there was only one person working the whole shop, my maid of honor and I felt deterred from asking to sample multiple times so she went with the crunchy old fashion (can't exactly go wrong with traditional) and I asked for cinnamon raisin swirl to go. Overall a very successful howaboutwe date with my bestie! A def must go for peanut butter lovers.

I only ordered a peanut butter hot chocolate from here but it was not worth it. It wasn't very chocolatey and they did not mix the peanut butter in that well so it was grainy and just tasted gross, especially towards the bottom. The staff also made me feel like I was bothering them to place my order. I am curious about their sandwiches though, so I may try them out once more. I just won't be ordering any drinks.

Sammy C.

I am not a big fan of bread/sandwiches but I actually did enjoy the peanut butter sandwich that I've tried here; the peanut butter was so flavorful and smelled so good! If you are a fan of peanut butter, this is the place for you! I've also purchased a case to bring home; the customer service here was great, the staffs were very friendly and nice. One star off because the price they charged for a sandwich was way too high, it was about $8 for just peanut butter with bread, it gets higher depends on what you want to add to the sandwich.

What a cute place for peanut butter enthusiasts! Came here with my fiance for a HowAboutWe for Couples date. I'm not a peanut butter fan, but my fiance loves peanut butter. The place is small but clean. There are several tables and a shelf of peanut butter jars in the back. The menu is creative but as other reviewers pointed out, you are paying $8ish for a PB sandwich... yes, a gourmet, novelty sandwich but still a PB sandwich after all, so if you are looking at it from an economical perspective, you won't be too happy. However, you shouldn't! You are not coming here to eat for survival. Enjoy and get lost in the PB world... yes, some menu items are kind of weird and although we didn't order the Elvis, I just can't imagine that tasting good. Our HowAboutWe deal came with a tasting platter, two cups of tea/coffee/juice, and two specialty sandwiches (it came with chocolate PB, marshmallow, and almonds... amazing!)... oh and two jars of PB to take home in a goody bag. We had such a great time! The people working here are terrific. They reserved a table for us by the window (aw...) and went out of their way to take care of us. They were pretty busy, but they stopped by our table a couple times to make sure we are OK. They shaped our sandwich into a heart (aw... again). Halfway through our date, someone came in soliciting money. At first he was OK, but then he quickly got annoying and somewhat aggressive. The staff was quick to intervene, and politely but assertively (and discreetly) asked the man to leave. I thought the staff handled the situation really well and didn't let it become a scene. Wish they had better collection of tea. Our chamomile tea just tasted like water! Also wish that the decor was a little more inviting. The place looks like a really tiny school cafeteria.

First time here, and wow. I love how they decorated the entire store with a very old school look using peanut butter related ads hung on the walls. I have always meant to come here bit never got the chance, but since they offered a Groupon, it gave me even more of an excuse to come and visit this store. So I got the Elvis with Maple peanut butter & bacon, which is essentially: "peanut butter, bananas, & honey grilled + bacon" it came with a few carrots and a bag of potato chips. :) The Elvis was absolutely amazing. I love how the maple peanut butter tastes with the banana and hint of honey in it. I really feel that the bacon gives it a smokey taste to the sandwich. Next time I go, I'm hoping to go try one of te shakes and dessert! Bon Appetit!

Athena C.

Peanut Butter you have me at hello! I fell in love when I first had their Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich. It is such a deadly and addictive combination! Then, I started buying their peanut butter by jar. My favorite is their Dark Chocolate Dream and Smooth Operation. It is a bit pricier than the store-brand peanut butter but hey nothing wrong with supporting local business and take advantage of the freshness!

Gary B.

I don't like that they put too much peanut butter on the sandwiches.I had the Mighty Maple and there was almost no bacon.But enough peanut butter to fill three jars. I would never eat there again. I also had the Fluffernutter shake I didn't like it.It just doesn't taste right. One star
(1)
Kaia T.

I LOVE this place! You could say I'm a little biased bc I am a sucker for peanut butter cookies. Their peanut butter cookies are THE BEST! They do offer other menu items, such as sandwiches, coffee, etc. I wouldn't come here if you're looking to grab a sandwich, as this is not their niche. It would've been nice if there was peanut butter infused coffee offered.

Not a fan of peanut butter??? Aha! I'm not either! But I will eat the peanut butter from here! Peanut Butter & Co. have quite a unique spread of flavors. White chocolate, dark chocolate, maple, even a spicy one and more! After the staff being ever so accomodating by letting us try pretty much every flavor before choosing one to buy, all 3 of us decided on the ever-so-delicious cinnamon raison. There are no actual whole raisins in it (cuz that would be gross), but the flavour is thoroughly perfectly in the PB without over doing it. I kid you not, IT'S A JAR OF AWESOME! After trying almost every flavor without actually buying anything yet, we did decide to sit-in to each have a PB smoothie! It was divine and surprisely refreshing! Who would've thought a PB smoothie would be refreshing???? Btw, I'm lactose intolerant but was able to enjoy my smoothie in peace because they have rice milk but you can also choose soy milk if you prefer. Their product and customer service gets 2 thumbs up from me and this cute little shop is now a perma-stop anytime I visit NYC! My only regret is I only bought one jar of PB... Wahhhh!

Peanut butter worshipers unite and rejoice. This is our Mecca. Really good PB with plenty of options to mix it with stuff you would otherwise feel too gluttonous to do on your own at home. I'm glad they have a natural PB option, that is made of roasted peanuts and salt, as it is my all-time favorite. I had the bagel nosh, which came with vanilla cream cheese (frosting?), choice of PB, choice of jam and a toasted plain bagel. It felt like dessert, likely because the caloric intake was equivalent to cheesecake, but was nonetheless satisfying. As I was inhaling my lunch/dessert/PB-frosting, I managed to text the husband (eats PB by the spoon) and insisted he meet me. He had already eaten which was fine, because we will get to go back ;)

Holy moly. My life is changed for the better after one of their peanut butter banana hot dogs. Why didn't my mom make me these when I was a kid?!?! I'd be at least 50 pounds heavier for sure. Try it with the spicy peanut butter and thank me later.

Irene L.

I'm really not impressed with this place. Actually, I'm horrified that I spent over $10 here. I went with four other girls on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. The sandwiches were overpriced, bland, and the peanut butter tasted like any old peanut butter. I paid $10.83 (there's a $10 minimum for cards) for The Pregnant Lady sandwich and two bottles of water. I asked for it to be toasted, and guess what? It wasn't. I could have asked for it to be toasted once more, but it was put together so haphazardly that I wouldn't have put it past the guy who made it to have burnt it (or worse D:) as he obviously didn't care about what he was doing. The pickles were practically nonexistent in my sandwich. I think it's called the "Pregnant Lady" BECAUSE of the pickles, and I barely got any. Really?? You're skimping on freaking pickles?! They must be magical pickles or something. Is the bread here freshly made? Am I missing something? I got (untoasted) Wonderbread-esque bread with generic tasting peanut butter and a sprinkling of pickles chips for $7.50. Oh, there was a bag of chips and three pieces of old carrot thrown in as well. That must be why I was charged so much, silly me. I can make a way better pb sandwich and for a lot cheaper. What a waste of time and money.

Lauren S.

I'm addicted to this place. I like the intimate location (minimal seating), and I LOVE the friendly service. I always get a kick out of the high energy of the staff. I somehow always end up chatting easily with whoever takes my order. More than anything, there is just this palpable sense of nostalgia, youthfulness, and jollity that just keeps bringing me back. Or maybe it's the peanut butter. ;) After three visits, my favorite item on the menu is the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl sandwich (get it TOASTED). The Dark Chocolate Dreams sandwich is also delightful. However, I definitely prefer the sandwiches that offer a substantial ingredient to vary the texture (like the apple slices in the Cinnamon Swirl), as opposed to some of the simpler ones (like the Bees Knees sandwich, which is mainly just PB and apple butter). The variations make the sandwich much more interesting and satisfying.

Christine T.

Oh yes pleaseeeeee!! If you don't love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches you clearly have a problem. How amazing that the peanut butter company has it's own shop in nyc?! So glad I walked in today, because I got one of the best pbnj sandwiches yet. I oped for the cinnamon raison swirl with vanilla cream cheese and apple slices on wheat bread. I was so satisfied! I'm totally coming back to try all the other pbnj options they have.

Arthur A.

A peanut butter sandwich and a bottle of water for 10-11 dollars? It's really good. Got the Elvis (recommended by the cashier), with maple peanut butter (excellent), bananas, and bacon (very thin on the bacon. Smallish pieces, extra crunchy) on wheat bread. Comes with a small (like a half-size) bag of chips, and two carrot pieces. It's expensive, and not really worth coming here often. But it's a wonderfully quirky menu, the service was quick, and the food tastes good.

After the terrible incident I had, the Publicity Manager of the company sent my friend and me an apology, free jars of peanut butter, and a few coupons. I also think the extremely rude cashier has been fired, since this incident.

My favorite peanut butter (Cinnamon Raisin Swirl) is produced by Peanut Butter & Co. A jar costs me around $6 at the supermarket. Now, if you think that's a ridiculous price to pay for peanut butter, wait 'til you come here and fork over $8 for a PB&J sandwich. In its defense, there's usually some twist to the sandwich, such as a bacon slab, banana slice, or honey topping. If you're not interested in PB&J, the store also offers more mainstream, generic options. Think grilled cheese, tuna melt, etc. Average portions. Quick service. In and out. On a day with nice weather, get your sandwich to-go and enjoy it in nearby Washington Square park.

Jessica J.

We went here after seeing it on a TV show in Australia. I have to say I was slightly disappointed and my partner enjoyed the PB experience. Firstly, I felt that the place was well over-priced almost $7 for a sandwich! My partner ordered the PB & Jelly sandwich along with a PB & Marshmallow Shake. He enjoyed both, especially the shake. I wasn't really feeling any of the sandwiches so ordered a plain grilled cheese - yuck it was that plastic looking cheese! I took one bite & tossed it out - $7 wasted!! I ordered the world famous cookies - meh they were good but again have had better. The wait for food was ages considering we only ordered two sandwiches. After leaving the place I grabbed a $2 hotdog and was much more satisifed. Unfortunately we would not return.

Karina H.

Whoever came up with this place is a genius!! Lots of choices on the menu (some creative, some generic), both with peanut butter and without! You have a choice of white, wheat, or gluten-free bread. Sandwiches come with carrot sticks and chips. You can even order flavored sodas or milk! I ordered the cookie dough surprise with chocolate peanut butter and gluten-free bread. It was DELICIOUS!!!! It really tasted like cookie dough! If you are in Greenwich Village, and you like peanut butter, GO!!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The cinnamon raisin swirl sandwich is like dessert. The staff is very friendly and they help you customize the sandwich. Such a cute little place and such wonderful peanut butter! Favorite peanut butters are the cinnamon raisin swirl, the dark chocolate dreams, and the white chocolate. Seriously, stop in, buy a jar. You won't regret it!

Reasons for my visit here today: - To redeem a Groupon (4 jars of their PB, assorted flavors): I think I was 1 of the many who tried to redeem the voucher today since it expires this week + you can only redeem it on a weekday (gah!). Unfortunately, they hadn't received their delivery of the jars of assorted flavors I was to pick from yet (& there was no guarantee of delivery at all since today was technically a holiday being Presidents' Day & all) and I only had a choice of 2 different plain varieties (Old-Fashioned Smooth and Crunch Time), and 1 spicy one I wasn't interested in (The Heat is On). On the plus side, they also gave me a little re-usable cotton bag to hold the PB as well as a coupon/PB buck for $1 off a future visit - yay! - Bacon: I am a huge fan of bacon and have been trying forever to stop by here and nosh on their goods with bacon in them. I decided to get the Mighty Maple Sandwich, but they were all out of Mighty Maple PB. They did let me substitute a different PB though, so I decided on the Dark Chocolate Dreams as a sub. Really good choice, the sandwich was quite tasty/hearty! A few things to note: - Space is on the small side. When you walk in, the register is to the left, about 8-10 tables on the right (kind of all crammed together since the space is small). - They have 1 bathroom, in the corner next to the kitchen and shelves where the PB jars are. - I stopped in twice and both times they had a small line. Not out the door but almost. I think they're a bit understaffed as there was only 1 guy at the register and he looked like he'd had a long morning with the continuous crowd of people coming into the cafe. He wasn't rude or mean, he was polite enough, but just looked wiped out and stressed. I guess given the continuous stream of people that kept coming in (& today, most were trying to do the same thing as me: redeem a Groupon), I don't blame him for being a bit annoyed. He was probably also frustrated with having to repeat the same thing to each Groupon-er: They didn't have their shipment of jars of PB in yet and were not guaranteed they would even get it today. I'm sure someone probably bit his head off or something. - It is kind of pricey for what is essentially just a PB sandwich (almost $8 for my 1 sandwich), BUT the portion was bigger than I expected (with very generous globs of the oh-so-good PB slathered in between 2 large slices of wheat bread) and they give you a small thing of plain potato chips as well as a few carrot sticks on the side. - Wait time for my sandwich was about 8-10 minutes. And a few more notes if dining in: - Order from register, grab a table, then wait for your order to be called. You will have to pick-up the order from the register yourself. - After finishing, bring your dirty plates/dishes to the front. To the right of the register, there is a small table you are to leave your plates/dishes on along w/any recyclables. They do NOT have waitstaff here so it is expected you clean-up after yourself.

Peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time... You get the point. What a cool place. Ting and I went over the weekend for our monthly free date from howaboutwe.com . The fed us peanut butter, strawberry jam with Fluff. Mmmmmmmm. After the sandwiches they gave us a tasting of their several flavors of peanut butter-of which they gave of two free jars to go. _____

Peanut Butter & Co. is a quaint little shop. With old timey peanut butter related prints decorating the way, this place has a pretty cute atmosphere. Now, let's get to the food. I had the "9 Bites" because in my head, I was thinking "What!? 9 different flavors?? WHERE DO I SIGN UP?" However, I was envisioning 9 different pieces because, well, there was going to be 9 different combos to differentiate from. This led to some trouble distinguishing what I was eating. To say the least, I was surprised when I got my sandwich. Peanut Butter & Co. had good stuff, but I don't think I would come back here and throw another $8 down for a PB sandwich.

Every time I come to NY I have to stop by PB & Co & this time my hubby was with me. He ordered the pb parfait & really enjoyed it! Obviously there was a lot of peanut butter, but paired with the banana, granola & tart yogurt, it was just right. I on the other hand decided to try the plain-old pb&j. On this trip I was very disappointed. The bread was really stale, the pb was barely there, (mostly runny pb oil) & the jelly might add well have been left off there was so little. Then I got no carrots & my peanut butter cookie was so stale I had to hit it against the table to break it apart. This visit really made me question my past visits..."has the food always been this bad & I was just caught up in the nostalgia or was this a rarity?" I am really hoping that this was just a rare case as I truly to do recall past visits being much better!

The maple peanut butter and bacon sandwich was a home run! Great food here, and the menu is pretty large. The food can get pretty pricey though, it's a great place to bring out of towners. I love the classic milk shop feel as well.

Cute. Quirky. Date Spot. Friendly service. Enjoy yourself. I just can't imagine ever being a regular at a place like this. Maybe if I were more into coffee... My wife dug it. A-OK.

Peanut Butter Everything! A cafe-looking place I kept passing by because I couldn't understand why anyone would pay for something you can make easily? You can't make this easily. You can't make this at all. Maple Peanut butter is great, honey and peanut butter should be more readily available everywhere, spicy peanut butter = nice kick. I recommend the peanut butter popcorn because caramel and cheese are overrated. A nice little lunch spot for a sandwich, chips, and veggies (or peanut butter cookies, because - obviously).

This is one of my most fave places to grab a quick, delicious sandwich. Whenever I have friends or family visiting - I take them to Peanut Butter & Co. They are always super impressed, and can't wait to go back at least one more time before their visit is over. Also, I love getting the actual peanut butter in the jar. So wonderful! My favorites are definitely the Bee's Knees and Smooth Operator. Go and enjoy!

Reading this review is critical to having a successful experience with their Peanut Butter. We have been eating their peanut butter for more than 4 years and many weeks consume 2 containers of the WHITE CHOCOLATE WONDERFUL. We primarily purchase it in supermarkets and now Target is selling it making it easier to get. We capitalized the Name, because we don't want anyone to be mislead--The 5 Stars goes to the WHITE CHOCOLATE WONDERFUL and No Other peanut butter they sell. It is the best tasting peanut butter we have ever had and we have had many over the years from many different places. You want to eat that peanut butter for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert, late night snack, when everyone goes to sleep, etc. This peanut butter has never seen bread at our place--its custard soft and we easily eat it directly out of the container most times. Now, they have Dark Chocolate Dreams. Which at first seems like a great idea--who does not like chocolate with their peanut butter--Only problem is--the Chocolate overpowers the Peanut Butter. Its almost like eating a Chocolate pudding. We have friends that give Chocolate Dreams 5 stars, but we give it a 3 of 5. Better is to take dark chocolate and dip it into the creamy soft White Chocolate Wonderful--the feeling you get may be better than the big O. Last--lets talk about their regular peanut butter--the kind many put on their sandwiches in the store, and expect to wowed. Caution--You will not be! The Smooth Operator and the Old Fashioned Smooth are nothing to write home about. Whole Foods 365 Peanut Butter, Jiffy and many other commercial brands taste better. So if you just say put some regular peanut butter on to the clerk, and don't say: White Chocolate Wonderful--we don't think you will be impressed. Their regular peanut butters are 2 of 5 on our rating scale. We prefer not to eat them again. When Target told them that they only want to sell their 2 best selling peanut butters to start off their agreement--It was the White Chocolate Wonderful and the Dark Chocolate Dreams. Hope this helped someone make a decision.

I did a lot of research before coming to NYC to find some nook or cranny restaurant in Manhattan that would live up to the inventiveness and deliciousness NY restaurants are hyped to have. This shop more than any others I ate at met those expectations. The location is 1.5 block south of Washington Square on a quiet tree-lined sesame street part of town. Peanut butter inventions fit perfectly into this scene. Staff loves their jobs, customers love their peanut butter, and I loved my peanut butter banana bacon maple syrup grilled sandwich. They have a free water soda fountain: you'll need it to prevent peanut butter locked jaw.

Went here to redeem a Groupon for free peanut butter, a bag & a Peanut Buck. If you love or even like peanut butter, you should stop by here. This is more like a cafe where you can buy peanut butter instead of an actual store per se but service was decent enough when I came in. It's sort of tiny, as many retailers in Manhattan are but it seemed to have some charm of its own. I'll never get to take my husband, the avowed peanut butter hater, but maybe I can get someone else to go with me sometime.

Oh glorious day! I finally came here after buying my favorite peanut butter from the company since I was 16. Definitely a destination spot. I didn't have long to look over the menu, so I ended up getting a sandwich with the honey peanut butter that was really good. But had I looked at the menu longer, I totally would have gotten the Elvis. Bacon and peanut butter? Yes please.

Miss my weekly (and often more) trips to Peanut Butter & Co. so much. It was my comfort food throughout all of college - I loved my Cinnamon Raisin sandwich. Of course it's a pretty simple (yet I'm sure multi-million-dollar concept): a restaurant that sells different peanut butter-based creations plus its own brand of specialty peanut butter. The restaurant is tiny but, to me, this was always so "Greenwich Village" and is one of the things I miss the most about my years there...

Amanda G.

I love me some PB&J, and the Groupon deal was great. Unfortunately the 4 jars were preselected, which was a bummer. Nonetheless, a good deal and a free tote too. I stopped by for lunch the other day (I also stopped by for lunch a few weeks ago) and dealt with the same unfriendly cashier who was totally uninterested in the customers and his job, and instead just talked to his friend who stopped by. For that experience, it's overpriced. Despite this, I would return just because I think the place is cute and convenient.

After hearing great reviews about this place, I arrived at Peanut Buter & Company with high expectations. Upon entrance, I noticed that the cafe was well-decorated and had a fun retro feel. When I was ordering my sandwich, I realized how disorganized the place was. The menu on the board had different prices than the prices from the print-out menus, and the staff weren't very helpful or enthusiastic. They did let me sample different peanut butter flavors, so I could make a good decision. I decided I'd just order the Luchbox Special, a standard PB&J (they did have many options for the jam). We grabbed a seat and waited for our sandwiches, which took quite long considering that putting together a PB&J sandwich doesn't require much effort. My sandwich was great, I enjoyed it. However, the price I paid ($5.75+tax) was definitely not worth what I was eating. I could have made a sandwich just as good as theirs, their "side of carrots" consisted of a few lazily cut slices, and the potato chips were actually quite awful. I'm still chugging water because the chips were so salty. Overall, it's a handy place for a quick lunch or hang-out with friends, but I would never be dying to go there.

This place has THE WORST SERVICE and seriously overpriced food. If youre coming in to buy peanut butter or stuff thats already packaged, you might have a better experience. I went in on a weekday during very off peak hours to grab lunch. I was literally the only person in the store. I think i ordered the "elvis" sandwich. It literally took more than 20 minutes. ITSA PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH. You toast bread, and spread the peanut butter. THAT SHOULD TAKE 5 MINUTES. MAX. On top of that, the prices are ridiculous. I will never come here again, and i suggest you dont either-- u less youre looking to waste large amounts of time and money. PS: the sandwich itself was AVERAGE. Nothing special. Done with rant now.

GROUPON users BEWARE: I ordered 1 groupon voucher and 2 additional as gifts. you get 4 various jars of peanut butter per voucher. I figured since I was vacationing here, I'd use the deal for myself and to give as gifts when I returned home to Hawaii. That day (MONDAY) I was excited to take my family to go and pick up our peanut butter and to order a couple of sandwiches to try. I also, was looking forward to purchasing some strawberry and raspberry marshmallow fluff, peanut brittle, and a couple of jars of flavored peanutbutter that was not covered on the Group on voucher. There was a man manning the counter and was taking an order for a party of four and then another gentleman. He got annoyed, hearing the phone ring after ringing up the orders. Complaining about how they shouldn't be calling to check if they had the peanut butter in stock and how they would have to come to the location that was stated on the voucher, making me suspect that the person who had call, was a Group on purchaser. I approached him and said I'd like to pick up the 4 jars of peanut butter via my Group on certificate. he looked at me and said he didn't have any and that he was waiting for a shipment and didn't know when delivery would be made. I just thought he'd grab the peanut butter stock that was on display and he said he couldn't. I asked if I sat and waited, would be my best option. He said he didn't know when and left it at that. Just then, an elderly gentlemen who had difficulty walking and using a cane came in and asked if the pb came in, and per the order taker, he said "no." I felt really bad, because of his difficulty getting around. Again the phone rings, and again he wasn't very happy helping the person on the phone. I asked to speak to the manager and he said, he was the manager. I asked to see someone higher than him and he could only tell me his name. I explained how we had taken the subway and walked to get to the establishment and it fell on deaf ears. NO apology or compassion, no asking to get my number so when the order supposedly came in, he could notify us, NO, substituting for other flavors of peanut butter, which I have pictures to show that there was a lot of varieties in stock. If this is how you treat your customers, you just lost one. You sell this in Hawaii and I was always wanting to try it, now I never will. My experience here has been a customers worst nightmare. Oh yeah, I was respectful to not coming in on the weekends to pick up the peanut butter, since it was mentioned and printed on the Groupon voucher. Hope you'll learn more about customer service and how to retain them. It's just not right, how you do business.

Kudos to these guys for trying to make things right -- they immediately responded to my review by sending me coupons for four free jars of peanut butter, which I'll have to redeem at a supermarket instead of at their store. The only hassle that I can see on my end is that they can only be used one at a time. Still, you have to give them credit for eventually handling things the right way. So I'm upgrading to three stars, pending actually "tasting" the peanut butter....seems like a neutral review is fair at this point...

GENIUS!!!! I felt like a little kid again. Thanks to ScoutMob, i was able to get a sandwich for 50% off. What a greaet deal. Anyway, i went her on a snowy saturday so it wasn't crowded. The restaurant is small but it's all good. It's the quality, not the quantity. I opted to get the Elvis (PB & Banana) with bacon. I opted to get the crunchy peanut butter and with whole wheat bread. I love how they have an option to slice the crusts off.The sandwiches even come with a bag of carrot sticks and a bag of chips. The sandwich was decadent. It was sweet, salty, gooey, crunchy. It hit it all. The peanut butter was nice and warm so it melted a bit and was gooey. The bread was buttery and toasted. The bacon was crunchy. The banana were sweet but not overpowering. This sandwich was the BOMB. No wonder Elvis got fat from eating all of these. Anyway, they have other great choices. This shop is awesome. They even allow you to buy jars of their signature peanut butters. THey have all kinds from the standard creamy/chunky to the exotic like white chocolate or spicy... The cookies are good but not great. I wish they were a bit softer, but they tasted yummy. I love how they also sell glasses of milk and shakes. MMMMmm need to go back and eat more. Watch out tho. if you eat this for lunch, there is a high probability that you will end up with food coma, so don't operate heavy machinery.

PB&Co takes their customers seriously, that's for sure! I received a note with an offer for coupons in response to my challenges at their Sandwich Shop. And I must say...nicely done, folks. A reply, and within 24hrs, is incredibly impressive. Thank you, PB&Co, for making amends. You rock.

So, I love their peanut butter that you can buy in a jar and take home. My favorite is the peanut butter raisin swirl which is absolutely amazing. However, the sandwiches themselves are way over priced for what they are, and because of that will probably never eat here again. I ordered The Elvis with bacon because of course, this is the sandwich you must try when you have heard such rave reviews, and was completely underwhelmed. The sandwich, made on toasted white bread with bananas, honey, and bacon is way too rich to even completely enjoy it. After half of a sandwich I was overly full. Yet, the sandwich with such cheap ingredients comes out to about $10 with tax. Rather ridiculous when you think of how cheap it is for them to make a peanut butter sandwich. If it's going to be $10 it should come with a lunch box or something. So YAY on purchasing a jar of their peanut butter to make sandwiches at home, but NAY to eating at the restaurant itself.

Neal C.

Wow. I had the Elvis (with bacon) using the Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter. It was absolutely fantastic. Friendly service. (Surprisingly) Reasonable prices. They loaded me up with the peanut butter as well. I was concerned going in that the toppings would overwhelm the main item. Not so. I highly recommend it. Only issue is high cost for an 8 oz soda/water.

So after seeing this place on Yelp and pairing it with my incessant life-long love for Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, I decided to check this place out. The good things I liked were that the staff is ridiculously friendly and attentive. I watched them take care of other customers and they were just as helpful. The place was clean and decor was very nostalgic of yesteryear. It also is not to far off Broadway, if you're shopping. The only thing I didn't like was the bread. The crust was very tough, like a tire. I finally cut it off my sandwich as I couldn't even easily tear it into bite size pieces. Will I go back? If I am in the neighborhood, yes. I'm sure that will be soon!

Peanut Butter and Co's peanut butter is expensive and a specialty, but seriously - nothing can beat the Mighty Maple flavor. But this is a review of the restaurant location. I stopped in about an hour before they were to close and the service was terrible. They acted completely unhappy and almost annoyed that I stopped for a sandwich. I know that they could have all been having a collective bad day - but it is also one's job to provide customer service, not make the experience terrible. In terms of products, this is a specialty store and, of course, a little overpriced because of that. That said, I expected fresher bread for a specialty sandwich shop. I'm still all about their peanut butter and their recent groupon for 4 jars of peanut butter is fantastic (I will be heading back after the new year to get more flavors, of course they can't have them all stocked at the same time). I'm hoping the service will be better, but I really don't want to stay next time.

As great and peanut butter wonderful this shop is, I cant entirely afford to come here all the time to eat in. It would be more economical to buy one of their jars and make my own sandwich. But im not reviewing this based on how much money is in my pocket. This little homestyle peanut butter shop is full of wonders. From their many flavors of peanut butter available to their creative menu. I honestly did not think that you could do that many things with peanut butter, some may not seem to work but you may be proven wrong. I'd say that this place is definitely worth trying out. Try their Fluffernutter, its amazing!

Like most places in New York, hyperbole wins out, so while the peanut butter they serve here isn't actually the best you've ever tasted, it's still a lovely thing to pick up a sandwich and take it to Washington Square Park to eat with the lunchtime crowd while the sun shines on a crisp, cold December afternoon. For your few dollars, they throw in carrot sticks and a small bag of crisps.

Rich G.

An establishment that lives up to its billing. I checked out this place after it was mentioned on a best sandwich of NYC list. All the options have healthy portion of peanut butter and then a different take on the complementary additions to the sandwich. The two I've had were both very tasty. It is a great place to bucket list, but a tad expensive for peanut butter sandwich. That's probably them just paying their West Village rent, though.

This review is for a Groupon 4 pre-selected jar's of peanut butter. Personally, I really like Peanut Butter & co. Once known to eat an entire jar of Jif, I needed to branch out and find new brands to try. It all started when I found a sale at my local grocery store: 2 jars of old fashioned smooth for $6. Uh, great deal, can't go wrong. I bought them both and really enjoyed the flavor, texture of PB&co. So what did I do when I saw the Groupon? I bought it. Eagerly. I was a bit ticked off that I couldn't redeem what I purchased on weekends, but whatever, I guess that might be their busy time? The Groupon exchange was pretty straight forward. Stop in on a day after work and ask for the peanut butter. I left the store in about 5 minutes flat with a cute Peanut Butter & co bag, $1 off coupon and 4 jars of delicious peanut butter! Bee's knees. Dark chocolate dream, cinnamon swirl (desert!!) and smooth operator. I'll probably be back when I want to replenish my stash. Great for a quick peanut butter purchase in my book!

Y'know i was over at Hiroko's Place when a friend and I decided we were still hungry. We looked up this place and once I heard you can put peanutbutter in everything. I was fucking SOLD. We ran over there to find a pretty small eatery. The guy working there was such a sweet heart. If you're there on Wednesday, look for a guy name Levi. He was the best!! He was patience with us and helped us make our choices. Once we told him it was our first time he eagerly gave us taste of the peanutbutters. I told him I was really into mint and he created an amazing mint/chocolate/peanutbutter shake for me that was so brilliant. I'm a BIG fan of this place now. The choices of what you can mix with PB are endless! I would say a snack, lunch, or dessert. Eating dinner here does sound a tad silly. But it's good stuff.

The black male and white older lady cashiers here have a horrible attitude. We ordered two fluffernutter shakes and two fluffernutter sandwiches. We're not asked if to go or to stay. We were given our sandwiches wrapped and when asked for a plate to stay he said we already had them wrapped and could not have a plate. Also how can you mess up a shake? It was horrible. Tried to fight me with how I don't know how a shake should be and how it should not be thick at all. Horrible customer service.

Heather G.

I would come back here for the staff alone. The two guys that were working when I came here the other day were AMAZING (one was Levi and I never got the other guy's name). We all danced and sang to 90s pop music as we munched on our sandwiches. The guys also offered my best friend and I samples of whatever peanut butter we wanted to try before we order. We tried the dark chocolate and the white chocolate flavors which were both very good, however, not quite as sweet as I was expecting. I ordered the Elvis (smooth peanut butter, bananas, honey, and bacon on toasted wheat bread) and my friend got smooth peanut butter and bananas on white bread. I loved my sandwich, however I don't believe it was worth the $9 price tag. Each sandwich comes with carrot sticks and a bag of chips so you really get that brown-bag-lunch effect. Next time I plan on getting another one of their creations or perhaps creating something interesting on my own. The possibilities are endless.

Peanut Butter and Co. is a great novelty eatery to bring friends from out of town. It's a nice casual lunch, breakfast, or dessert spot. The staff is incredibly friendly and their homemade peanut butter is delicious and customizable: It comes in a variety of flavors which I am anxious to go back and try. The other night my boyfriend and I ate at Peanut Butter and Co and we both had variations of a similar dish. I had the Bagel Nosh (Grape Jelly, Vanilla Cream Cheese, and their crunch peanut butter on a bagel)---It was quite filling and delicious. My boyfriend had the "Jerry Seinfeld Comedy Special," crunchy peanut butter with honey and cinnamon on a bagel--Also very delicious. The food was precisely as expected--very good for peanut butter sandwiches. I was more impressed and surprised to find that their coffee is so great! I highly recommend Peanut Butter and Co.

Made a visit here on a howaboutwe for couples date. The place was crowded but they had a table in the corner with a reserved sign for us. Our "date" included a peanut butter sampler which allowed us to basically try all the flavors of their peanut butter. We also had the sandwich special which had peanut butter, cream cheese, and cherries. The sandwich was cut into hearts (which was kitschy but adorable). We were also able to take two of our favorite jars home. (Mighty Maple and Old Fashioned Crunchy). If you haven't tried their "The Heat is On" give it a taste - I think it would go great with Thai dishes! Haven't had a chance to visit again but will definitely make a trip there soon. The atmosphere was great and the people working there were friendly and helpful.

I discovered peanut butter & Co, when I first tried their Peanut butter spread (that is sold in trader joes, Walmart, whole foods, etc). Their peanut butter spread is delicious it is like having a reesus peanut butter cup spread on your bread for breakfast. Then when I found out that they opened a store in NYC, I was ecstatic and knew i had to try their sandwiches. I ordered: "THe elivis" which had bacon, bananas, and peanut butter. Ohmygoodiness it was like a heart attach in a sandwich. It was so dense and good, but i could only eat like half the sandwich before I go into cardiac arrest. haha. My friend ordered the peanut butter BLT- it was just peanut butter and bacon, and It was just the right amount of ingredients that it was good enough to eat, and not overkill like my sandwich. In addition I also ordered the mary jane shake- which I was a little hesitant because I thought it would be dense. But to my surprise, the peanut-butter and honey shake , went down smooth and it was so delicious and creamy.

4 stars is me being VERY generous right now. This place is really expensive for what they serve up, but damn is it good. I have tried the maple, white chocolate, and cinnamon raisin peanut butters. I find the white chocolate to simply be a sweetened version of PB. The maple is SO EFFING GOOD and I love the subtle crunch (why do they lack crunchy PB flavors?). But the best, I have to say, is the cinnamon raisin. I am not really a cinnamon raisin kinda gal but this PB takes apples, bananas, and oatmeal into a whole other dimension. ***I buy these PBs at Christmas Tree Shop because they're $3 instead of $6. You heard me. At my visit to the store, I got some kind of chocolate PB sandwich with fluff and chopped almonds. I believe it was a special, which is unfortunate because it was awesome. Now that I've stocked up on their PBs for the next decade, I just make their delicious sandwiches at home.

Kelsey C.

LOVED this place. I got the toasted bagel with jelly, PB, and vanilla cream cheese (which was DELICIOUS). The prices were reasonable and the staff was really friendly. Not good for large groups, as it is very small and probably can only fit about 10-15 people at once. We had a coupon for a free jar of PB with a meal and had no problem redeeming it. The bathroom was also clean.

This place was okay, didn't really live up to what I had expected. My sandwich and the bacon on it were burnt. The milkshake I got was very good though. It's cool to go to say you've been there, but don't go out of your way for it.

The Elvis; creamy peanut butter with bananas, honey and bacon. This sandwich is NOT: 1. healthy 2. inexpensive 3. upscale (it comes with stale potato chips) This is the kind of sandwich that you eat, and say "omfg" and "yes" and "wow" to yourself, several times without realizing it, until the people around you (including the people you came with) start wondering if its safe to sit near you and begin occupying tables as far away from you as possible - and you don't even notice. All you care about is that someone, somewhere, dared to put these ingredients together in between two pieces of bread, and at that very moment, you are on the right side of fate. If you are not eating this sandwich right now, you are doing it wrong.

Richard K.

One of those places I have seen on tons of Food Channel shows. Decided to finally check it out. How good could someone else's Peanut Butter sandwich be?? The answer: LOTS. I had there wonderful crunch peanut butter served on crustless white toast drizzled with chocolate. It was wonderful. But THE highlight was the peanut butter shake. Words cannot describe how packed with flavor it was. Each slurp was a mouthful of God.

Zaman K.

I like peanut butter but I'm not sure if I'd come here and pay so much for peanut butter when it tastes pretty much like the supermarket variety. It's a way to spend some time with your kids outside your home and I get that. Personally I'd spend that time at home with my kids and save the money. I sampled a bunch of different peanut butters but there were no discernible flavors in any of them. The dark chocolate PB just looked like dark chocolate but tasted 99.9% like regular PB. The bees knees and the maple didn't fare much better while the white chocolate was overwhelmingly sweet. Only the cinnamon raisin had an okay balance between PB and cinnamon. I also tried a sandwich with PB, raspberry jam and marshmallow fluff - deliciously sweet but definitely not worth the price tag and something I'm sure I can replicate by making a trip to the market. I would suggest they raise the flavor profiles of the different kinds of PB they have here because right now they all taste more or less like regular PB. For the time being, I will take my Jif any day.

I heard about Peanut Butter & Co. via a "HowAboutWe.com" date deal. We made our reservation for 8 pm but got there an hour and a half early and were still accommodated right away. Vanessa was behind the counter and was so sweet and super helpful. We had a bunch of questions and she answered each and everyone so kindly and was very knowledgable about all the menu items. As per our "how about we" date we were given two free Strawberry Cheescake Fluff Sandwiches, a coffee for my husband and a milk for me. We also got a free sample platter with carrot sticks, celery, apples and tiny bread for tasting with the peanut butter. I was shocked at how well we were still treated even though they knew we weren't paying them a dime for anything! However, we couldn't leave without trying the FLUFFERNUTTER MILKSHAKE!!! it was a complete life changer. so good.

They have a neat assortment of peanut butter based sandwiches. You can even get one on a bagel. I love getting their vanilla Coke though and is the reason I come here 9 times out of 10. They put actual vanilla syrup into coca-cola. It is the best way to drink this mixture... I've never had it better anywhere else. They are a bit pricey though for what it is, for which I've deducted a star. I'm satisfied with my own PB & J's made with the cheapest PB I can find, I just can't top this coke, which I'm sure very few people come here for, but more should!

I love this place. Everytime I make a trip to the Center for Architecture, I HAVE to stop by this place. Its peanut butter and BACON!!! C'mon guys, what else do I have to say? And if that doesn't satisfy your appetite then they are other options, so dont worry. And you can also buy their popular peanut butters. Its a tiny little place with really cool art, and bright colors. Service is really great and the employees are super cool and chill.

Jordan S.

Cute concept but too small and crowded for me to go back. The flavors are a bit nauseating too. Peanut butter mixes great in savory meals and I've had it done successfully at many places but you cannot slab a gallon of peanut butter on turkey and call it an interesting combo. I just call it a peanut butter sandwich. Not worth $8+ Bare in mind I am writing this from the perspective of a lunch guest but if you were here for dessert I am sure you would be thrilled.

This is one of those cooky only-in-New-York places. I was not impressed and I was genuinely looking forward to have lunch here. If I'm going to pay for a Peanut Butter sandwich it better be the best damn PB&J on this planet... and it wasn't here's how I broke it down: The bread?... Not good at all, standard grocery bought bread. Peanut butter?... The most standard peanut butter. I got some crazy specialty sandwich named, "The Heat is ON". Spicy peanut butter and grilled chicken, with a little bit of pineapple jam. "Like a Thai Satay - only better". Only it wasn't better. 30 minutes later I found myself clutching my stomach for dear life. The whole day I felt whoozy and ill. I was so surprised at how awful this sandwich was. "Well, maybe you shouldn't have gotten that crazy specialty sandwich, Catalina?" Well, maybe not - but what else are you supposed to do at a specialty sandwich store?! This store is a gimmick. Come buy a $10 PB&J and get a glass of milk with carrots and celery is by far the dumbest thing I've ever paid for. Seriously, go somewhere else with your money. You're a fool if you buy anything from here. And not just because I got sick, because seriously, what the hell are you doing spending money on a PB&J? You're an adult go buy a steak with a glass of red wine. PB&Co at least get fresh bread from an Italian bakery, instead of using store bought generic bread. But even then, I won't be coming back.

Soooo overpriced! $2.70 for a cup of Rice Dream rice milk? You can almost buy an entire 32 fl. oz. for that price!

Delicious peanut butter sandwiches! Get the Elvis -- bacon, bananas, and honey. So rich, but so good. Comes with 3 carrot sticks and a mini bag of chips. Not sure why they don't give more than 3, but it's a nice touch.

I bought a box of cupcake mix from here last year and I finally got around to baking it. cupcakes using their Chocolate cupcake with pb frosting kit. Wow, it was actually so easy and made me feel so gourmet doing it! I've never made my own frosting before. Sure you can get your own cake mix, but this kit instructs you to use the good stuff. Butta and plenty of it. I used almost a stick in the batter and another in the frosting. I need to drop by again and check out what's new.

Certainly not the cheapest peanut butter sandwich you'll ever have, but this place has a fun vibe and equally fun menu that keep me coming back. Seating is definitely a problem so don't plan to linger...as soon as you finish your food, you're likely to have several people hovering over your table waiting for you to leave. My favorite thing on the menu is the cinnamon raisin PB, apple and vanilla cream cheese sandwich. The combination sounds strange but the result is delicious. While I haven't tried any of the desserts, they look phenomenal. This is a fun place to take someone who is visiting NYC or to stop by for a quick lunch/snack if you're in the neighborhood.

Two stars for the idea. Zero stars for the peanut butter cookies they peddle. I'm always on the search for the ideal, and cookies of the peanut butter persuasion are on my list. Very unimpressive, and doubly so for an establishment that boasts the main ingredient.

I do have a problem. I have to admit it, but I am constantly in denial. Yes, no, yes, no. Maybe I need an intervention. I'll still deny it. Then go out and do it again. Yes, I am a peanut addict. No, you don't understand. I AM OBSESSED WITH PEANUTS. I can eat them all day long. I have sat on the couch with a spoon and jar of peanut butter and finished it while watching TV - many times. If there is a bowl on the bar I will glom it all. I have relatives giving me jumbo bags of roasted peanuts in the shell for Christmas and my birthday. Supermarkets fear me. Yes, there are enablers all around me. Peanut Butter & Co is one of my enablers. They are the crack to my pipe. I honestly can't come here too often for fear of an overdose. The times I have been to this quaint little homage to all things peanut butter I usually settle for one of two items on the menu. The Elvis - a wonderful peanut butter sandwich concoction stuffed with bananas and honey - and of course add in extra crispy bacon. Gooey peanut butter goodness with bacon? Oh yes, I happily consume thousand of calories eating this! The other I can't resist? The Fluffernutter sandwich. Really. This brings me back to that days when I ate these as a kid. It's a sugary overload of peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff. I don't care if it's a diabetic shock in waiting - if it's put in front of me it has no chance of survival. The menu at this bistro of peanut butter has a pretty diverse selection of sandwiches, desserts, a PB&J sandwich of the week, non-peanut butter offerings, ice cream sodas, shakes, milk and drinks. Prices are reasonable and not too costly. Want to be a kid again? Get a Krazy Straw to suck down your drink with! You can also purchase their own line of peanut butter flavors by the jar here. If you are a peanut whore as I am then this is a must visit to try out a sandwich, or two, or five. They do it right! Also, be a boss and eat the crusts. No one likes a wuss.

If you love peanut butter, then this is the place for you. I had the Elvis w/ bacon, it was awesome. Definitely makes you feel like a kid again eating PB and ______ sandwiches. Worth a try if your in the area.

Alison M.

If you like their pb, buy it here for about 2 bucks cheaper than the grocery store. I'm a fan of Mighty Maple. Kitschy, fun, and I say if you're into peanut butter and in the neighborhood, then give it a shot.

Gia S.

I absolutely LOVE peanut butter so to me this place gets 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give me any flavor & i'm in heaven! I've been here a few times & I would go back a few more. One of my favorite sandwiches is the Elvis, It has peanut butter, bananas, honey & bacon. NOW i know what you are thinking BACON!!??? but im telling you it's so delicious! OHHhhHH you can also get it without the Bacon, I've had both!! YUMMY DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steven C.

This place is definitely unique, so come at least once, but I wouldn't return here again because of the expensive prices (seriously, for a peanut-butter sandwich, $7?!) and the cramped indoor seating. Their peanut-butter-and-bacon sandwich was dry and they gave you two measly carrot sticks. On the plus side, they'll gladly give you samples of their myriad peanut butter flavors.

Kim D.

Such a unique little peanut butter shop in NYC. I've been going to Peanut Butter and Company since 2004 and I always order the same peanut butter sandwich on Vegan bread. I love that they serve their sandwiches with carrot sticks and potato chips. It makes for such a cute afternoon date. Also, the area is wonderful to stroll after lunch.
(5)
Rachel H.

I like this place because it's relaxed... and you can pretty much take anyone here and they'll like it. The last time I was here, I was with a vegan girl, a friend visiting from Israel, and this guy who is like the pickiest eater ever. We were all happy with the food and atmosphere. The sandwiches were pricey but pretty big and really yummy... plus I have coupons which justify the cost. The staff was friendly, which is always a plus.

Arielle Z.

This is definitely the kind of place you can only find in New York. I brought a friend from out of town and he absolutely loved it! It's not really a practical dining option... $7 for a sandwich I can whip up myself for free at home? Please! But the out-of-towners will love it. And they will love you for taking them. Because there's really nothing more New York than a place that only serves PB sandwiches.

Kristina F.

I enjoy the nostalgic feel of this place and the kitsch of eating at a peanut butter restaurant. Try the sandwich with the cinnamon raisin pb, vanilla cream cheese and green apples. Do yourself a favor and grab a jar of pb (my favorite is the cinnamon raisin, the chocolate comes in second) to take home, because you will want to recreate their sandwiches for yourself every day. I've made the cinnamon raisin swirl sandwich too many times to count. I've recently picked up their Bee's Knees and Maple Peanut Butters which I was quickly addicted to. Also, check out their cookbook. It's got lots of fun recipes like pb banana bread, pb hot chocolate and pb banana pancakes that are all very good. The only reason they get a star knocked off is that their cafe items are priced a wee bit high. It hasn't stopped me from spending my dough there, but friends I've brought there to eat have complained.

Jeanne E.

I thought I was a freak for putting peanut butter on bacon sandwiches and peanut butter (and jelly) in milkshakes, until I found out that Peanut Butter & Co. has both combinations on its menu. There's nothing on this menu that I wouldn't eat (Well except for the peanut butter bacon BLT, since I don't eat bacon anymore. But I implore all you bacon eaters to stop wrinkling your noses at the idea and try a peanut butter bacon sandwich.) My absolute favorite thing here is the chocolate peanut butter pie. A slice of it so substantial that it's fit for a meal.

Jess M.

i haven't had any sandwiches here, but was surprised to read average reviews of the peanut butter itself. dark chocolate dreams = heavenly. try it on celery. then ask a roommate/partner/cat to hide it from you.

Erica C.

One word: OVERPRICED. But then again what isn't overpriced in NYC ? The white chocolate peanut butter and jelly sandwich I had the other day cost me $5.95. It was literally two pieces of white bread with white chocolate peanut butter spread on one bread and strawberry jelly on the other. I just wanted to try it because I'd heard the white chocolate PB was really good. It was good but definitely not worth the money. They do, however, come out with a monthly coupon for a free jar of white chocolate peanut butter with a purchase of any sandwich or drink on the menu so I guess that makes it a little better. For those of you who go to NYU, the coupons are available at the Kimmel Center.

Yum! I just finished my first "Elvis" sandwich which is made with pb, bananas, honey and bacon - grilled. Sounds weird, I know, but the perfect combination of sweet and salty and the texture combinations of toasted whole wheat bread and bananas....unbelievable. For a a sandwich and a diet coke it was $10, I don't think that's too bad, I've spent more than that on a boring salad and this is so much better than a salad! The sandwich was on the big side, so I'd suggest bringing a hungry belly.

Peter A.

omg yes! this place is just amazing...i don't care how simple it is and how you can make it at home or buy their stuff in the supermarket...you MUST go here.

I love peanut butter, marshmallows and chocolate chips like everyone else (that is not diabetic) but I can't say I adored my sandwich from PB&C. I wanted to relish in the the fact that diet or none I was getting me some....peanut butter and yum (I don't mean to rhyme) but my bread was a bit tough, chips a bit tart and the chunky peanut butter was not. I also have beef with the chocolate shake because it was albino (and tasted like vanilla ice cream). I love the table and the desserts sound delic. so maybe the next time I return I will just stick with the pie. Oh and where's the jelly (total minority at this place). Sorry to be a Debby downer but I yelp the truth even if it ain't nice!

Kate M.

Ate here years ago when an out-of-town ex-friend insisted (she had seen it in a magazine.) Totally overpriced, total tourist trap. You can get their PB at grocery stores. Make it at home. Don't fall for the novelty factor.

Liz E.

I began as a customer and left as a former employee, but I won't let the three and a half months of work at PB& Co. influence the body of this review. I had heard about this place somehow, though I can't remember at the moment. A diehard fan of peanut butter, I asked my equally peanutty friend to join me for lunch after a Calorie-burning AIDS Walk. My friend ordered the Nutella and Peanut butter sandwich, otherwise known as the Peanut Butter Cup, on whole wheat bread. Though she finished the whole thing, she was annoyed at the high price, and found the redundancy of hazelnuts and peanuts to be too overpowering for the sandwich. I'll admit that on first bite, I adored my cream cheese, cinnamon raisin peanut butter, and green apple sandwich on whole wheat bread, but I grew tired of it as the bites wore on. A special sandwich on the menu, it cost me even more money than the PB Cup, and upon leaving the cafe I was lightly kicking myself for getting so pumped for this ordinary eatery. Service was non-existent due to the restaurant being extremely crowded, but I do recall receiving my sandwich fairly quickly (well c'mon, it's peanut butter!). Oh well, I will finish on a mean note: Do not go.

If I do face "death by peanut butter" at least I'll be going to a sugary heaven with whipped cream clouds, reese's pieces, peanut butter chips and cap'n crunch fantasies. The "dbpb" sundae was delish - and served in fiestaware. Peanut Butter & Co's whimsical "ants on a log" and flavored sodas and peanut butter and jelly shakes on the menu make this a themed eating excursion not to be missed by any kid or adult. Apparently the Elvis sandwich is a favorite, but I'd like to try the Jerry Seinfeld inspired bagel with honey and peanut butter too. It would be nice if the place was a little bigger and opened a little later but overall, it's a big peanut butter loving kid's perfect saturday lunch spot.

Kristy G.

Yum! What a great idea! You can't get any better than an old fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich. My boyfriend and I visit NY once or twice a year and we recently stumbled upon this place. What a great find. If you like peanut butter, this is the place to go.
(5)
Ani V.

My husband and I had been curious to try this peanutty haven for a bit. My husband because he wanted to try their Elvis sandwhich:Peanut butter, banana and bacon fried up. Me because I always like trying new places. And we both love peanut butter. They also offer the good old standby peanut butter and jelly. Which I adore, but I decided to try the peanut butter with marshmallow. Yes I wanted a sugar overload. Thankfully all the sandwiches come with carrot and the best salty chips ever to clean your palate. It's a neat place to try once just for the novelty of it . But wouldn't be a staple in my dining repertoire. First Tuesday of every month, this location has a Game Night from 6 to 9pm. All your childhood favorite boardgames are there.

Had the Elvis sandwich that consisted of peanut butter, banana, and bacon..all honey glazed. My stomach def did a somersault! In addition to that, I tried the sample platter consisting of various types of peanut butter they make. This is an excellent choice for those that want to dabble in their various options.

Dani W.

Meh, this place is okay. Pretty expensive for what you're getting. I had the Elvis with bacon on vegan bread (yes, you read that correctly), and it was all right. My dining partner was making obscene noises over it, but I found it simply okay, to be honest, and that's about it. The peanut butter brownie was, again, okay. Everything here seems mediocre, really. Okay. Average. Cute gimmick, sure, but I'd rather just make the sandwiches at home for a fraction of the cost. I'd like to go back and try a milkshake, though...

D. M.

I was completely bummed about my experience here. At first you think you're in for some yummy goodness, but alas you will be disappointed. I ordered the Elvis (peanut butter, honey and banana, grilled on wheat - no bacon) for a whopping $7. And I'm sad to say that the problem for me was the peanut butter. It completely lacks any flavor. I didn't even finish my sandwich and couldn't drink enough water to wash it down with. Additionally, the sandwich came with some dried up carrot sticks and a bag of Peanut Butter & Co.'s own potato chips. Needless to say I was still hungry when I left and went foraging for food somewhere else. So, I check it off on my list as "been there", but I won't be going back.

if i was stranded on a deserted island and had to pick one food item to bring with me, itd probably be peanut butter. (the other would be beer if youre interested, and i dont care if that sounds like a bad combo to you, its my freakin deserted island) so naturally i was super pumped to go here...and as noted the interior is cute and fun with vintage PB ads that I loved. and the menu is enticing combos of pb on potentially crustless bread....however the final products (I had the Elvis, and my friend had the Smores one) just didn't get it done. I think because if you are a true PB addict, there just isnt enough PB on the sandwiches. Granted I often opt for the spoon in jar of PB (why let bread get in the way) so maybe my idea of ideal proportions is a bit niche - but i even my less PB obsessed friend agreed, that for a place thats all about PB, they were a little bit dry.
(2)
Chris N.

If you like peanut butter, it's worth trying. I had the White Chocolate Wonderful, which was pretty good, though I wish I got more peanut butter, and I didn't taste white chocolate. Still a good sandwich. I saw people coming in, just to buy the jars of peanut butter.
(4)
Vivian X.

For the price, I thought it was pretty good. But then again, when your friend has a buy-one-get-one-free coupon and offers to treat you for free ... anything that doesn't make me sick is pretty good. On the suggestion of one Matt, I ordered the White Chocolate Wonderful Sandwich. It is quite good, but that is probably because I love white chocolate and I love almonds. The citrus tang of the marmalade cut through the thickness of the peanut butter pretty effectively, but for $7 a sandwich I probably will not buy one for myself in a while.
(3)
Keith B.

I would come here once for novelty if you live in the west village. The sandwiches are okay. I had a peanutbutter, banana, and honey sandwich (The Elvis). It was okay. For 7$ a peanut butter sandwich needs to evoke some sort of euphoria, and the sandwich was okay.
(2)
Allie S.

I came here acouple of months ago because as a peanut butter lover, i was told i had to come here...i got the fluffernutter, which is peanut butter and marshmallow fluff and while it was good, there was nothing particularly unique about it...it is way to expensive for what it is, and i can save a lot of money by just getting the supplies and making it myself..dont get me wrong, i did enjoy my sandwich very much and i love the whole idea behind this place, but i think it is just too expensive
(3)
Valerie D.

I'm definitely a fan of PB & Co. I've had the Elvis, The Heat is On, and the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl sandwiches, all of which I enjoyed very much. (The cinnamon raisin swirl is my JAM.. it is heaven.) The chips & carrot sticks that come with the sandwiches is a nice touch and I love it. The employees have been really nice each time I've been there. There isn't a lot of seating, but it's not that bad.

Ryan H.

Tourists love this shit. I can just hear Marc Summers on Unwrapped saying it right now... "It's a restaurant that only serves... peanut butter! And it could only happen... in New York City." I think the cheapest peanut butter sandwich there is like $5.50, which is an unbelievable bargain in New York City. Then there's the gourmet stuff, like thai chicken peanut butter. I went with The Elvis. Peanut butter, banana, honey and bacon, grilled. Good lord, is it great. Finish it off with a glass of whole milk, and you've got yourself a delicious, artery-clogging, $10 meal. I figured out I can make the same thing by myself with about $1 worth of materials, so yeah, it's kind of a ripoff. But go once to see how the experts make their peanut butter sandwiches, pick up some tips, then make them yourself.

After hearing stories about this place AND seeing it air on the Food Network, I was stoked that it was on my agenda for the day. As I turned left off of Bleeker I first wondered why it was on such a dead street; and when we came to the store front I thought for one second it was closed- it wasn't just dead outside it was dead inside! I was hoping it was just a bad snap shot as I was finally there! Keep in mind that I still take a PB and J to work daily, it doesn't spoil and always hits the spot. When I entered it looked just like it did on TV but with absolutely no ambiance! Where was the fun music, the crowds of peanut butter freaks and the bubbly employee that was eager to take my order?!!? I examined the menu and after a good amount of time felt confident in my selection. The guy behind the counter was obviously busy with the only other customer in the store. As i waited I wasn't acknowledged what so ever hoping for just a smile or a bit of an eye contact. Finally once the employee finished the other order he asked what I would like. I order, ate and hated every moment of it. It was a depressing environment, I mean I watched two employees sit near me playing crossword, listened to the loud machines and wished they had a decent music system to liven up the place. All in all it was not what I wanted it to be! I didnt have high hopes but really wished it was better. I hope the employees learn to create a better atmosphere and the owner reads this review to improve a business that is worth keeping open! Oh yeah, and the food, not bad, had the Elvis (pb, banana and bacon)- a bit heavy on the pb but thankfully I ordered milk!!

Arnab M.

This place was a furnace when we walked in, minus one star for that. It is totally impossible to sit inside and enjoy your sandwich or whatever one wants to order and eat right away. Perhaps they've not heard of the concept of air-conditioning yet... I bet the would have if peanut butter was not virtually indestructible and didn't need to be refrigerated. They have the most incredible selection of peanut butters: creamy, crunchy, light, rich, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and a bunch of others. It is a peanut butter-lovers paradise, and I'm sure there are many judging from the number of reviews this place has received.

I ordered the special of the week, which had peanut butter, chocolate spread, shredded coconut, and toasted almonds. This combination tasted more like dessert than lunch, and I was not too impressed by this toothacheingly sweet sandwich. For the first few bites it was fun and delicious, but eating a whole lunch of that almost put me in a sugar attack. While it was creative, it did not live up to the hype, and made me question -- $7.25 for this?? The crust of the bread was a bit too tough and chewy, and I really wished they had cut it off because it definitely detracted from the sandwich. Their website was so much more cheerful and bright than the dim and empty store -- I went there around lunch time on a week day but there were no more than 5 customers there. However, the one redeeming item is the peanut butter cookie. Unlike the sandwich, it was not too sweet, and even had some savory notes in there. It definitely melted in my mouth, and even though I'm usually a chewy PB cookie person, this softer style did it for me too. I'm not sure if I would go back for the sandwiches, but the cookie is certainly one of the best I've had yet.

ive never been impressed with this place. its not that cute and you pay 7 bucks for a PB&J. so i decided to give it another chance one day because I had a coupon where I can get a free jar of peanut butter with any sandwich purchase. i go in and give them the coupon, but the expiry date was SLIGHTLY ripped off and he wouldnt accept it. i told him where I got the coupon from, but still no free jar of pb! what they should learn here is that it is never a wise business decision to decline a coupon because all it does is lose a sale and possibly a customer!

I have read some of the other reviews, and they are unfair. Of course you can easily make a peanut butter sandwich at home. Just like you can easily make a steak at home, a hamburger, a sub, or any of the other things you order when you eat out. The idea of the Peanut Butter company is original and just because it is simple to make doesn't make it any less worth it. I tried the Elvis thinking that it couldn't be good. I mean, bananas, peanut butter, honey, and BACON?! Well, it turned out to be wonderful. I couldn't believe it. It was also very filling. For $7, I was full. That's a good deal to me. Of course they charge way more than it costs. Worth and cost are very different things though. It's worth it to me to pay $7, have a good sandwich, and be full and satisfied. Every place overcharges like crazy. I've worked in food for a long time. I used to work at Arby's and the roast beef sandwiches cost them like 20 cents and they sell it for 3.99! That's business! Get over it! That $2 you spend on a cup of soda at a restaurant? Well that costs them like 9 cents. Cost and worth are very different things. If you want to enjoy a different idea and experiment with many different peanut butter sandwiches, come here. If you're stubborn and myopic, go to a TGI Friday's or something that you're used to.

Mariana L.

Only in NYC can you make a hugely successful 'gourmet' brand out of a grade-school lunchbox staple. If you need a tasty regression session, and don't mind spending restaurant prices to do so, grab a treat here. It's certainly not your Kraft PB&J. Their white chocolate or Cinnamon Raisin adds a whole new element to the sandwich you used to love.
(3)
E. S.

A (local) friend suggested we go here. Honestly it wasn't the best PB&J I've ever had but I do admire their dedication. They stuck with the theme: there were all sorts of different flavors of both the butter and the jellies. I think I just got a regular. Someday I'll go back & be more adventerous :)

If you like peanut butter, then this is a must see when in NYC. Tons of different combinations to choose from; you're bound to find something you like. The Elvis is the best pb sandwich I've ever had.

Valerie G.

I made my pilgrimage to this place with my roommate expecting it to be like the Hershey, Pennsylvania of Peanut Butter... We walked for awhile, got a little lost, walked some more and finally wound up at a tiny cramped restaurant and ordered our $8 Peanut Butter Sandwiches with milk. After eating we then realized we could buy a $5 sandwich press from Duane Reade, a loaf of bread and some pb&j and it would still cost less than both of our sandwiches. Its cool to go just to check it out, but I wouldn't go here again.
(3)
Missus L.

the concept and idea is cute. i like boutique storefronts that feature classics like PB&J! however, its just overpriced and was underwhelmed when trying some of the sandwiches (i was with a group of three other people). frankly, take the menu, buy the peanut butter (you can find them @ some of markets in CA) and make the sandwiches yourself.... : )
(3)
Ann L.

Order the Elvis - PB, Honey, Bananas, and Bacon, grilled. One bite and its all oozing out, warm, messy, delicious and so fatty / rich and sweet. Felt a little sick afterwards, but would eat this again in an instant. Also purchased a jar the maple syrup flavored peanut butter...my coworkers laugh at me b/c I sit with a spoon all day at my desk and eat this stuff. Slightly strange texture (has maple sugar crystals) but highly addictive at the same time. I love this place and will return.

Tory S.

This is not a review for Peanut Butter & Co (whose doors I dare not enter for fear of never leaving), but rather for their peanut butter. I was lucky enough to score two tubs for the price of one and went with Cinnamon Raison Swirl and White Chocolate Wonderful. Having recently returned from logging time abroad where peanut butter is both scarce and more expensive than any condiment has a right to be (maybe another reason why French women manage to stay emaciated, though Nutella is available in spades so that doesn't completely compute), I decided to treat myself to some quality peanut butter. Did I crack it open in the middle of the street in the pouring rain and unabashedly scoop it out with my fingers? Yes. Am I ashamed? Maybe, but probably not. Was it delicious? Indeed. I'm sure I won't be able to resist heading over to try the Elvis before long.

so cute ~ ironically, haven't tried anything here food-wise yet, but I always love their PB in jars. try the dark choc. PB.

Michelle M.

This place takes this lunch time staple and brings it to a new level. The different types of peanut butter make for endless options and sandwich flavors, and with scads of add-ons like bananas and marshmallow fluff who can resist? If you like their peanut butter you can even get a jar to take home, but I think it is more fun to head over to the shop and get the full experience. It is just plain fun!

Jeffrey W.

True lovers of the magical edible known as peanut butter will soil their knickers at the mere mention of the existence of this fine Village establishment. The Peanut Butter Shakes and Elvises (Elvi?) are great, but the true MVP of the menu is the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip pie, which is one of the greatest culinary experiences that I've ever had. Thick, rich peanut butter smoothly blended with chocolate chips? F'n NICE. The staff is swift and attentive, especially the older gentlemen that evokes memories of Mom and Pop joints of yesteryear. Sure, its overpriced, but sometimes its good to splurge. Take a trip to W.3rd and absorb the goodness.
(4)
Ji C.

Only pb&j sandwiches served here - ooh, wacky! Nice to check out for novelty value but that's about it. Otherwise, you can make any of the sandwiches yourself and that extra flavor will be the deliciousness of not getting suckered into overpaying for $1-2 worth of food. Still, three stars because NYC wouldn't be NYC without places like this.

I had 'The Elvis' (PB, honey, bananas). Extremely helpful staff. Filling and tasty sandwiches. Small and clean eating area. If you're around NYU, I recommend you pop by for a milkshake and a PB&anything at this place.

Christine T.

Many years ago, I stumbled across ilovepeanutbutter.com and vowed that one day I would visit this cafe and delight in a PBJ. Well, that finally happened one blistery cold night in Greenwich Village. I ordered the Elvis and a vanilla egg cream. If you think about it, it's funny that people will pay that much money to order something that's EXTREMELY easy to make at home themselves, but there's just something about that little cozy restaurant with PB sandwiches as its specialty. In tourist fashion, I bought a couple jars of peanut butter and a mug before I left. Best peanut butter ever!!

Finally tried this place and got a Jerry Seinfeld-peanut butter, cinnamon & honey I think on a toasted bagel. It was good but after I was eating it I thought-hmmn I paid $6.50 for a peanut butter sandwich... that I could have made at home.... cool

Not like this place needs yet another review telling you that $6 is a lot to pay for what can otherwise be the cheapest food on the planet. If you are a peanut butter snob, or if you are trying to create the "New York Experience" your out-of-town guests are expecting from you, it will probably be worth it. Approach it like it's a landmark, appreciate the atmosphere, and just know that you will be paying too much for the concessions. It's a fun place with a fun menu.

Interesting place! I recommend every new yorker eat at this place once just for the novelty of the place. Admittedly though, this wouldn't be a place that I would eat at every day for dinner though (one can only have so much peanut butter). I had the Elvis which is peanut butter, bacon, and bananas which was not bad at all. It's just weird though having peanut butter as your meal as it gets stuck in your teeth and stuff and makes it hard to chew. A word to the wise: make sure to get milk with whatever you order to help wash everything down or else it'll feel like your trying to consume glue which can be quite challenging.

Walked in this place one time during a work related trip...cool concept. I even contacted the owner and asked if hed like to open one in CA. No reply. Oh well...this place seems right for NYC alone I guess. Try the Elvis and bring a jar of the chocolate or spicy PB home....its proper.

Mhmhmhmhmmh !!! Delicious !! I had the Elvis with a PB milkshake and it was so nice. The music is great, comfortable atmosphere, you feel like 30 years back :) It's really nice. PB is not industrial and you feel it.

how did a place selling only peanut butter sandwiches last so long? it's right next to the college dorms which makes me think NYU students are so lazy they're paying $5+ for a pb&j sandwich. i went here once or twice when i was hanging out in the park-- not a bad sandwich. but, uh, it's just a peanut butter sandwich. plus now that they sell the peanut butter in grocery stores really all you have to do is buy the bread and spread it yourself...

ha! this place rocks! its so cute and its in a cute part of town (near nyu) - and they have the coolest sandwich combinations. I made up my own b/c I like to be difficult. I had chocolate peanut butter with fresh bananas on wheat bread grilled. It was DELISH. The meal comes with a handful of chips and 2 carrot sticks..basically, you feel like you're in Kindergarten eating lunch with your classmates..a wonderful feeling indeed. The other orders we got were the PB - BLT, the Elvis w/ bacon (of course since they're known for this), and some apple cinammon sandwich...no one had any complaints. The desserts looked good too..but since what I got was basically dessert anyways - I declined. Plus, I love peanut butter..but not so much as a dessert... I put a minus 1 star b/c the total of my sandwich along with a bottle of water came up to $8.00 and some change. I could have bought a jar of pb and bread for about the same and had pb sandwiches all week long...its a cute idea - and fun once in a while..but I certainly wouldn't go back too often. I recommend trying it once or twice though certainly!

this place is really cool. i don't know what the other reviewers were expecting when they ordered a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? maybe a vibrating chair?? it was a cool experience and my nieces loved it. i had a peanut butter smoothie and we split a couple of the sandwiches.. they were delicious.. other reviewers wondering about the prices.. hmm... when is the last time you got a great deal in manhattan??

i bought the white chocolate PB at the store coz my daughter lives in NY and said they had a store that was fantastic. this trip we ran into the store in NY and LOVED IT! i bought a small jar of the choco PB. OMG!!! it is absolutely fantastic!! i'm definitely having her bring back some when she returns in the december. we each had a sandwich...me some choco chip cream cheese, PB combo & she had the BLT w/PB. both were great. the bread (white) on mine didn't fit my taste but that could be becoz i haven't had white bread for awhile. definitely worth stopping buy or ordering online. it was a very cute little place and the staff friendly.

Funny, when I went to Peanut Butter & Co, I didn't even think of it as a gimmick. Maybe that's because I like peanut butter and was attracted by the concept of an all peanut butter, all the time spot. I ordered the Elvis (sans bacon) and completely enjoyed my sandwich -- grilled sandwich with peanut butter, bananas, honey...yum. I appreciated that rice milk was an option -- milk of some sort really belongs with these sandwiches. And given that working in midtown I had to pay too much for low-quality sandwiches from the chain delis, I thought PB&Co. was on the cheap side. To each his own, I suppose. I enjoyed it, and have found myself wanting to return. Not the most amazing food ever, but it hits the spot. That's what peanut butter was made for.

Jennifer E.

I love love love this place. Yes, I'm a tourist, and I'm biased because I'm a PB freak, but YUM. I had the Elvis, with bacon, and DAMN that was tasty! I'll be returning while I'm still here, and getting the 6 pack to take home! Everyone was super friendly; I hit the place *just* before the lunch rush, but was still able to have a great conversation with the super friendly workers.

Jessica M.

my god. its the best f-cking peanut butter you've ever tasted. i haven't been to the actual store yet, but if there was a mothership for pb lovers, this would be it. not only is it home made, but it's all fresh, natural ingredients. they have all different kinds of pb there. i've recently purchased thier spicy peanut butter. i've yet to taste it and im a bit afraid but i bet its sex in my mouth. you dont have to go to pb&co to get it either. its hard to come by in my area, but they do have it at gourmet type food markets in the city...

Joann s.

This review is for the website ordering process ONLY - i have not been to the restaurant. I ordered some PB & some fluff over a month ago - it arrived - the jar of fluff had opened and there was white sticky fluff all over my PB and the box and the invoice. I called PB&Co. - and have called and called and called and emailed and emailed and emailed - no one has ever gotten back to me about replacing the order, no one on the phone knows anything or can do anything and i have NEVER HAD A RESPONSE to my emails to customer service. This is the worst customer service i have ever experienced - come on - it was only 28 bucks - just replace the PB & I will quit calling.

Darren W.

this place gets kudos for being unique. mostly everything served w/ peanut butter. very interesting combos that you think would never work. i've made peanut butter & banana sandwiches before, but decided to try it here. pretty tasty, but nothing i can't make at home. you do have an option of ordering it crunchy or smoooootthhhh. this place is strictly for the pb lovers!

Richard O.

When I first approached I see two of their employees smoking right outside the front door...I'm thinking that now they're gonna go and make my sandwich...gross. I too received the same warning as Ronnie V. I guess when the boss isn't there the staff doesn't care. They are not rude or obnoxious but the whole dynamic makes you feel like they are working there against their will. For 5 people, I spent $45 for 5 sandwiches, 2 drinks and tax. $6.50 per PB&J sandwich is really overpriced and adds up quickly. The bottom line is that this is good to have as a snack...not as a meal. One sandwich will be enough for 2 people because after half the sandwich plus your drink you are full. My PB&Js are just as good at home (minus the cigarette smoke) and won't run me $6.50.

tc h.

ate here today. very cute place. i had "the elvis" and jon had the "dark chocolate" one with cherry and shredded coconut. and a big glass of low fat milk. we both couldn't finish out pb&js because they were quite large. a lot of families with little kids here. i didn't think the peanut butter was the greatest i've ever had but this place made me happy.

alicia v.

This place is really more of a novelty then a restaurant that has regulars, I'm assuming. I say this because everyone I know that has been here, myself included, has been here only once. It's a cute concept to have every dish include peanut butter as the main ingredient, but not something you want to eat very often. I wasn't feeling very daring and simply had peanut butter and jelly. It tasted like, well, peanut butter and jelly. Although I guess there's not much you can do with three ingredients, I was expecting something even slightly better than what I can make at home. Overall I feel like this is a restaurant that probably looks better on paper.

ko i.

6 bucks for a peanut butter sandwich?!? It's worth it just for the experience. They have every sort of insane combination you can think of. The one that sounds the worst, but actually happens to be great, is the Elvis Presley...pb, bananas, and BACON. If you're not that adventurous, they also have turkey sandwiches and salads.

Ordered: Mighty maple sandwich, Bee's knees sandwich, and Root beer float Pros-Cute atmosphere. Their peanut butter jars (sold in-store and elsewhere) offer a variety of flavors. My favorite is the maple one. Cons-Menu food items weren't memorable.

we came here sunday, attempting to live out nostalgic feeling...to get "like mom used to make" PB&J sandwiches. the place is cute...with posters and pictures from the 70s and 80s...all that it was missing were those tin lunch pale boxes with teenage mutant ninja turtles or the garbage pale kids. for lunch i had the peanut butter and jelly sandwich with crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jelly on wheat bread (just like my mom used to make). what was missing was the bread being slightly toasted and the crusts cut off. no biggie. even the sandwich was cut diagonally! as sides with my sandwich i got three crunchy sticks of carrots and some slightly stale potato chips. and to top it off, i had a large glass of soy milk. yum! aside from the slightly stale potato chips and not very tasty wheat bread, the place was cute. there were so many incarnations of the peanut butter sandwich that boggled my mind. i opted for the safe route of a traditional "non-traditional" PB&J. fun place. i would go again if i were hankering to satisfy another nostalgic feeling.

Michelle G.

yes, it is overpriced and gimmicky, but it's NOT just peanut butter. only boring people would go in and order a plain peanut butter and jelly. branch out a little. get an elvis, or get the cinammon pb + vanilla cream cheese + apple slices. fabulousness between two piece of bread. my greatest complaint about this place would probably be that they only give you two carrot sticks. supposedly the deal is that you get carrot sticks and potato chips with your sandwich so it's like a school lunch all over again. but whose mother only packed two carrot sticks? i wouldn't go here every day (even though i used to live next door, so i was occasionally tempted), but it's a good place to take kids (they'll cut the crusts off for you) or your friend from out of town who will doubtless be amazed that not only is there a restaurant that only serves peanut butter, but also that people really don't hesitate to pay $8 or so for a pb&j.

Jaime S.

love this place for what it is: adorable and kitschy and something you would only find in new york. come on, its not intended to be a place you go everyday but rather somewhere you take your out of town guests or your inner child to delight them every now and again.

Eric B.

The PB&J was very delicious, although a touch of salt might have blown my mind. We did the Elvis, no bacon. Perfectly constructed and proportioned. Bananas, fresh, just the right sized slices, and evenly distributed. I will, however, give some notes on beverage policy. 1. If I'm taking a sandwich to go/just buying some PB, your no outside drinks policy does not apply to me. 2. If I've already ordered - and I'd go as far as saying even if I'm dining in - your no outside drinks policy does not apply to me. 3. If I have a beverage from your retail neighbor, Third Rail Coffee, AND I'm dining out, your no outside drinks policy really does not apply to me. 4. If you're going to take 15 minutes to slice a banana into PB&J that you're putting in a bag for me to take away, your no outside drinks policy does not apply to me. 5. If you don't want to suck at running the counter at the PB&J shop, do not be way uncool about the outside drinks policy.

Samantha M.

The concept of this place is what reeled me in. Who wouldn't want to go somewhere that's completely revolved peanut butter? The restaurant has a very relaxed feel to it, just like you're at home with comfort food to match. I had the cookie dough surprise with smooth peanut butter, vanilla cream cheese, and chocolate chips. To die for!! The staff is super friendly as well, overall had an awesome experience.

After spectating and being my head cheerleader for the NYC marathon, it was Mark C.'s request to eat lunch at Peanut Butter & Co. He is a big fan of their retail products and when he heard that someone would make him a PB sandwich with a variety of combos we hopped on the train and headed to this PB mecca. Small and unobtrusive, it was pretty quiet when we arrived. A unique and smallish (by CT standards dining area and walk up order counter pretty much take up the entire space with its walls adorned with all types of kitschy kitchen and peanut butter paraphernalia. There was a good variety of PB combinations and drink selections from milk to milkshakes to smoothies to wash down your meal. Going all out I ordered the Elvis WITH bacon (since everything tastes better with bacon, especially PB), smooth peanut butter (you have the option for chunky) on toasted wheat (had to be a bit healthy). I also ordered a glass of milk to wash everything down, keeping it as old school as possible. Our order was brought out relatively quick and it was glorious. It's been a while since I had a PB sandwich and this took me back. The sandwich was chock full of peanut butter and banana and the salty bacon (although a bit overcooked) complemented the sandwich nicely. It was a "struggle" but that sandwich was demolished! Each sandwich also came with a small bag of chips and carrot sticks, a nice retro touch. There I agree with Ron S and Jess L - the price I paid for a PB sandwich here was pretty steep and I probably would not have plunked down the cash had I been back home, but again given the rent in the area I can't complain too much

AJ V.

After years of hearing about them, I finally stopped in - and they did not disappoint. The cinnamon raisin swirl is my favorite, but I haven't found a flavor I don't like. Honestly, no need to spread this onto a sandwich...just grab a spoon and enjoy!

I love this place... even when they had a B rating... my boyfriend and I bought a sanwhich with an amazing combination.... nutella, fluff, peanut butter, and oreo cookies...... WHATTTT..as you can probably imagine, it was rather epic.

Was wondering around the west village when I passed this place. I have wanted to go since I first moved to the city and decided it was a sign. When I went in, there were no other patrons and I kind of call the the girl to come from the kitchen. The place was small, mostly table for two. I ordered the Elvis with crunchy peanut butter on whole wheat bread. It came with three carrot sticks and a small bag of chips. The sandwich was definitely huge (which is good considering it was almost 10 dollars). The bread was buttered before being toasted. It was a nice place to go to considering I have always loved the peanut butter - but I don't be going back anytime soon

Peanut Butter & Co. is everything you could want as a kid and as an adult. Some could argue that changing something as classic as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is sacrilegious, but what the staff has done is make art. This gem in New York City is something to be admired not only because of its food, but because of its ability to delicately balance the old and the new, the nostalgia with fresh ideas, and the excitement with something so...normal. Despite the minimal square footage, PB&C is packed with decor that speaks to decades past and just enough space to fit seating for about 15-20 people. Above the counter, you'll find an alarmingly large menu for a restaurant based solely in peanut butter sandwiches. And as you scan the menu, you'll find yourself struggling between the sweet and the savory, the simple and the complicated. The magic of PB&C is that you can't go wrong with any item on that inventive menu. Each time I've come here for lunch, I've been lucky enough to meet who I assume is the owner, but if she's not, she's the most pleasant and welcoming woman I've come across. As she brings you your sandwich on a plate with carrots, celery, and a bag of chips, you feel compelled to say "Thank you, grandma!" That type of nostalgia and homeliness is priceless.

Nilsa L.

The thing that irked me was how the staff made me feel bad for ordering two sandwiches. Since I couldn't decide between a sweet or savory sandwich, I got both the grilled cheese with bacon and chocolate chip sandwich with vanilla cream cheese and chocolate chips. Both sandwiches came with carrots and a small bag of chips. While me and a coworker waited for our order, the wait staff came out with my coworker's sandwich and only one of the two sandwiches I ordered. When the second sandwich came, the older lady brought it out and looked around to see who the order was for. There were only two tables including ours, so she was confused as everyone had a plate. I told her it was my other order and she looked at me like she didn't believe me and said "oh, you're having two"? Even the people at the table next to us was smiling at her comment and reaction. My coworker then said "oh, don't let her fool you" and tried to make the situation better. But what a way to make a customer feel bad for giving you more business! I ate half of each sandwich and packed the left overs to go. I feel like the whole time I'm being judged for what I ordered and looked at like I'm strange. I mean really?! Is that how you treat a paying customer? Why would you create an awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere for your customer? Do you really think that makes them want to return or recommend you to others? I also had a coupon where I got a free hot chocolate. I honestly loved the hot chocolate and it came in a large cozy yellow cup that makes you just want to snuggle up to a fireplace. The experience aside, I'm not too crazy for the grilled cheese and chocolate chip sandwich and the sandwiches are definitely overpriced. I feel like I can easily make them myself at home.

Brietta Y.

I popped in on Wednesday to pick up a jar of their "The Heat is On" peanut butter and my friend split a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie with me, which was the first time I've ever had that and it was delicious. At first, I said I only wanted a bite but I ended up inhaling the whole half she gave me. Delicious!

Brian M.

Heard about this place for a while and had to try it. I had the Elvis and it was excellent. Maple peanut butter, banana, and bacon on wheat bread. Large sandwich and great price. Very good place for a good lunch. I would go back here next time I'm in the city.

Lauren P.

A storefront that is dedicated to all things made with peanut butter??? It should have been heaven, folks, but it was meh meh meh- this is coming from a peanut butter addict, y'all. I should have just stopped myself when my peanut butter cooke was boringgggg, bland, and really more of an odd sugar cookie. Save yourself the disappointment and find another gimmicky restaurant in NYC to spend your money/calories on.
(2)
Jamie H.

This place is always a hit when my younger cousins visit me in NYC. The novelty of a restaurant is great, but the food is only okay. The Heat Is On (peanut butter, chicken, pineapple) is surprisingly tasty, as is the BLT, Elvis, and Peanut Butter Cup. While I've never had anything bad, always leave feeling that I could make any of these sandwiches in my own kitchen (and at a more reasonable price). While there is seating, I always end up having to wait a bit for a table. If the weather is nice, I suggest taking your food to go and having a picnic at Washington Square Park.

Brittany R.

I have been trying to go here for years. YEARS! but plans always fell through. I finally went today and was super excited. I ordered the Elvis. What a disappointment! The peanut butter was yummy, but completely overpowered the bananas. My friend had the sandwich with nutella and pb. it was tasty. but after one bite, again overpowering. If i ever come back here, I will try a shake. But will never again get one of their sandwiches. Glad I went though, no matter what the outcome. Way overpriced. Small. Friendly staff.

A cool little place (no longer a secret - not by a long shot) in Greenwich Village. The Elvis sandwich is a classic. They make a decent peanut butter milkshake too. It's very small, so it can be hit or miss at getting a seat. Their jar peanut butter is available in grocery stores (their white chocolate PB is great - their "Heat is On" is not so great.) It's expensive for a basic sandwich, but considering the location and hype their menu prices have stayed fairly reasonable by NYC standards.

Alexandra D.

I love peanut butter so they can't REALLY go wrong. They get three stars because their coffee is gross and they are overpriced. I enjoy the bagel with chunky peanut butter, honey and cinnamon. I also, on occasion, like their milkshakes. Some of their other stuff, however, can EASILY be made at home for less than the $6 they charge for it. Also, sometimes the music there is CRAZY loud. And there are many a tourist.

Kristina S.

I was sucked in by the hype! I'm on a peanut butter hype now, that's why i decided to give this place a try. It was good.. was it $9 for a bp&banana&bacon good. The elvis was a bit dry to me. It needed more wetness on it. Aside from that, I loved my experiencing here!

Nic B.

My mother was so proud of the peanut butter sandwich she made me recently when I was feeling under the weather. She explained how she used the organic peanut butter and honey whole wheat bread and as she was gleaming with pride, Kanye West ripped the sandwich from her bare hands and yelled "This sandwich is pretty good and I'm gonna let you eat it, but Beyonce makes one of the best peanut butter sandwiches of ALL TIME!" And by Beyonce, I mean Peanut Butter & Company.

Adriana A.

I wasn't really impressed with this place. I think they toasted my Elvis too much. I thought there strawberry shake was pretty bland and I wouldn't order the overly sweet orange creamsicle drink again. I don't feel the urge to return. I can make a better Elvis in my house. womp womp

Tiffany L.

came here with the bf (pb aficionado) and ordered "the elvis" and the "peanut butter BLT." i liked the elvis - banana, honey, bacon. grilled and very rich and decadent. i also took the liberty of putting my potato chips into it - ahh, elementary school nostalgia. i thought that the peanut butter BLT would have been better WITHOUT the pb. however, the bf liked it, so it's a personal preference thing. :) and fyi - the sample platter is NOT made up of small sandwiches... it's just the pb in little cups. side note: not sure if it was just a random day, but it was SUPER HOT inside the store. we originally sat down but decided to leave to picnic in the park because the temp was so uncomfortable.

Swan Z.

always wanted to try this place out and finally decided to trek out to the west side after seeing scoutmob's 50% off deal for here. so bf & i arrived there around noon and damn it was crowded. and noisy. filled with families and college kids. we ordered an elvis with bacon and a fluffernutter and was told that it would take 45 minutes to make------------wait what?????!?!?! yes that's how crowded it was. the cashier, which i think might of been the owner as well, was pretty impatient and kind of short with us. huh. i guess i can understand why, the place is packed and we're using a discount but still. his attitude was really off putting. and from reading some reviews from other people, i'm starting to think we're all talking about the same guy. but whatever, we came here for some peanut butter sandwiches! not for service. so i left him with my phone number and we decided to check out soho sushi across the street while we waited. we only had to wait approx ~20 minutes and not the 45 minutes we were told, so that was kind of nice. the elvis with bacon was sooo good, the first few bites at least. the entire mix went really well together, though i did wish the bread wasn't so buttery and soggy/limp. after the first few bites, it was just too much and i let my bf finish my sandwich (that's what bfs are for!!) the fluffernutter was alright, plain, as expected. we didn't get the option to pick which peanut butter we wanted or if we would like the crust on or off. it's no big deal really, but good service IS asking for all the little details despite it being busy or not. overall, i think the potato chips and carrot sticks were better than the sandwiches themselves. and i would never pay full price for these sandwiches. not worth it, especially when it's something you can make at home--and do better.

Absolutely love this place. I recommend the Elvis sandwich. For ice cream, try the Death by Peanut Butter with the captain crunch on the side. Fave peanut butter is the one with maple syrup. Good stuff.

Meredith V.

So I FINALLY found this place. Last time I was in NYC and I wanted to eat here, there was a problem because their website has a list locations of GROCERY STORES that sell their peanut butter......not the ACTUAL flagship location in Greenwich. Two totally different things. But I digress... I got the Elvis and my bf got the Jerry Seinfeld special, which was BOTH very very good. I like that you can order milk and that the meal comes with chips and carrots too. I took a point off because the size of the store is SOO freaking small (no benches outside either so you're basically F'd) and because of the confusion of where this is actually located, which is HUGE.
(4)
Tracy W.

This place is gratuitous, but I love peanut butter so I don't really care. I'd been traveling for days in a row and was kind of sick of eating out, so I think by this point in my trip an Elvis sandwich suited me just fine.

When it comes to lunchbox classics, few foods edge the peanut butter sandwich as the nostalgic younger-year go-to. With pals like jelly, fluff, bananas, and Nutella, a crunchy or creamy, toasted or not, peanut sandwich always fills the mid-day or late-night craving. And that's why Peanut Butter & Co. has become a staple for NYU students and other Greenwich Village dwellers in New York City. Its inviting interior and the wide-range, peanut butter-dominated menu give foodies all the incentive in the world to keep coming back for more and more inventive creations. The one drawback is the price. Who wants to pay upwards of $8.50 for a peanut butter sandwich? Then again, who wants to pay upwards of $2,000 for rent in New York City? Despite the steep prices of both the peanut butter sandwich and an apartment, people still seem keen to dish out big bills for quality food and living. The menu features the likes of the Lunchbox Special (peanut butter and jelly), the Fluffernutter (peanut butter and marshmallow fluff), the Peanut Butter Cup (peanut butter and Nutella), and of course The Elvis. Similar to the sandwiches Presley himself would often eat, "The Elvis" has peanut butter, honey, sliced, bananas, and crispy bacon (for an additional $1.50) on your choice of white or whole wheat bread, and with a side of carrots and potato chips. Just like any other situation, the addition of bacon adds a whole new and wonderful depth to "The Elvis," and is definitely worth the extra $1.50. With a dynamite combination like that, it's no wonder the King of Rock consumed it regularly--and died on the pot. Note: if you're from out-of-town, but still need to get your Peanut Butter & Co. fill, you can order jars of their various creative peanut butters online at ilovepeanutbutter.com/inâ€¦ .

Cute spot in a nice neighborhood-- but guess what? Walmart carries Peanut Butter & Company's peanut butter (exact same varieties in same exact jars) for about $3 (last time I checked in Maine). So if you find yourself in a Walmart, stock up!!

Maria L.

ok, so I have to start of saying that I'm not really a huge fan of pb....I eat it occasionally, and actually, I'm not really crazy about it! However, on my last trip to NY, my friend wanted to come here after hearing about it on some show i think. I ordered the Elvis w/ bacon...it was yummerz! I still think about it from time to time....I had my reservations about having bacon w/ pb, but it definitely works! I wouldn't mind returning to try their other variety of sandwiches! They also sell various flavors of pb and marshmallow fluff, amongst other things....oh, and their dining area is very small:)

Two stars may seem a little harsh when we didn't necessarily have a *bad* experience, but "meh, I've experienced better" is pretty accurate. Was it good? Sure. It's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. How exactly do you screw that up? It's easy, so why am I buying one sandwich with an amount of money that I could use to go to Associated and buy a whole loaf of bread and jars of peanut butter and jelly? Once you get past the novelty of going out to eat for a PB&J, there's not much justification.

My review may be biased due to my extreme love for PB. This place is awesome for a quick bite for lunch. All of there sandwiches are novelty and have something to due with Peanut Butter. I had "the Elvis" which was peanut butter, cut bananas, and honey on grilled bread. You can add bacon to it for an additional .50 cents. The sandwiches are served with a small bag of their own potato chips, and a couple carrot sticks, "just like mom used to make!" There is a small selection of drinks and the staff is all smiles. The dining area is small, just a few tables, and might get packed, especially during lunchtime as NYU is right around the corner. You can take it togo or eat in. Every week they have a special "sandwich of the week" which is pretty cool and keeps things fresh and give you a reason to come back. If I could I would it eat here almost every day. 5 Stars.

Richard S.

Im not a big PB&J fan... but when I am craving it then its worth it to head down to Peanut Butter & Co. Their sandwiches are very filling, but they only lost one star from me because while you're eating the sandwich you cant help, but wonder... Cant I just make this at home?

3.5 stars. Fluffer nutter shake is excellent on all levels--good consistency (not too thick or thin), peanut butter and mallow flavor definitely there. Took a little too long to make the shake though, they definitely need more help because their staff was pretty flustered during the Sunday morning rush. I was so tempted to buy the cinnamon swirl peanut butter, since it's much cheaper here than if i bought it anywhere else, including Walmart. On that note, everything is a bit overpriced here. Come on, $8 for a peanut butter and whatever sandwich?? Still good though. I am a total sucker for peanut butter.

The toast here is good. If you love peanut butter, I would defiantly recommend this place. However, the reason why I give them only three stars, is because the service here is really not good.

This is the place to go to cure any sweet tooth you may have. I love how small and intimate this little shop is and their sandwiches are prepared with lots of love and attention. If you like your PB and whatever else you want on it sandwich prepared a certain way, this is where you go! The folks in there were very nice and helpful with the menu. My sweet tooth demanded the fluffer nutter and it couldn't have been more perfect. Stop by here and get a few jars to go - they even have strawberry fluff!! WHAT?! =D

great selection of sandwiches ! they also sell the peanut butters by the jar, they also have different flavors of fluff. The best sandwich is the peanut butter and bananas. There is not alot of seating but if you go mid morning - early afternoon there will be seating. Great place for kids, my sisters loved it .

Order: 1) Cinnamon Raisin peanut butter with apple slice and cream cheese on white bread 2) PB Maple shake 3) PB & Chocolate brownie If you love peanut butter as much as I do, please go here if you are in NYC. Cute little cafe-style restaurant that makes their own PB! They have several different flavors and sadly I didn't get to try them all =( The staff is very friendly and they make sandwiches they way mom used to....but with more creativity. Lots and lots of PB & J sandwiches including Elvis' favorite fried PB and banana (with optional bacon) and one designed by Jerry Sienfield himself. You can even get a jar of any or all of their signature PBs. Hungry for a PB&J sandwich? Go here.

I've eaten here three times. Once by myself, and two other times with out of town guests. The prices are kind of high, as others have alluded to. However, they make all their own peanut butter, and it is all natural. The decor is set up like an old school diner, with tons of vintage peanut butter and bread advertisements. You can purchase this establishment's peanut butter in stores around the NYC area. Because it is natural peanut butter the oils may separate from the peanut butter, so you will have to stir it before using it.

Not so much. Had a sundae and not all that impressed. Sandwiches sound good but ... Really $5 for PBJ? Spicy PBJ was Spicy hot but take some PB and add some cayenne and whala u have Spicy PB. Two stars b/c it's PB.

When I first are here I had the tuna melt and it was so fulfilling and delicious. It bought me back to when I was younger. It amazes me how there are also different flavors when it comes to peanut butter

Oh Peanut Butter & Co, how I love you so!! I don't think I would have ever visited this amazing eatery if I hadn't spotted it while on my way to Mamouns to claim my free falafel. So yes, after having a falafel sandwich my friend and I went into PB & Co with the intentions of just looking. Well, cmon let's be serious, how can you go into this brilliant eatery and not order something!? My friend was the one to suggest it and I would was in as if it was my last meal on earth. We decided to go with the PB & Co Sampler. To me this was a great selection because it was a way to get a taste of everything. With this sampler you get to try all 8 peanut butters and its served with carrots, celery, apples and melba bread. I also got the two pieces of Vegan Black Bread on the side as well, which I highly recommend. So the platter came out, looking oh so beautiful. We lined up all the PB's and dug in!! The black bread toast was warm which was a stand out in my book and topped with the Dark Chocolate Dreams ... ohhh my, I think I died and went to heaven. I then ventured out and tried the Bees Knees on the Granny Smith apple and this PB was very honey based, smooth and delicious. It was then off to the mighty maple, and yep you guessed it! Maple based, not overwhelming but certainly full of delicious flavoring you'd expect from maple syrup. Both the old fashion smooth and old fashion crunchy were your basics but were special in their own way. The crunchy was my favorite out of the two because there was chunks of peanuts left in the peanut butter, what's better than that?! One of my favorites and the one I own in the cinnamon raisin swirl. It's full of raisins and heavy on the cinnamon. It reminds me of my favorite bagel that I no longer really eat so its a great sub for me!! The White Chocolate Wonderful ... now I'm not a white chocolate kind of girl but paired with peanut butter, sign me up! You could certainly taste the white chocolate but it was subtle with the nuttiness from the peanuts. The one that really caught my eye was the Heat Is On. This was a peanut butter based, obviously, with fiery spices!! It actually reminded me of the spicy cheez it's. With celery or carrots it definitely worked and after a bite you could feel the heat! Another thing I love about all of these peanut butters is that they are kosher, gluten-free and vegan (except for The Bee's Knees which is vegetarian) and on top of that they contains no cholesterol, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils. So yes, peanut butter should be consumed in smaller quantities but at least at the Peanut Butter & Co you know you're getting something that is a little more heart healthy. PB & Co is a really cute eatery, a smaller space and also a retail location. I would love to go back to try one of the shake. But for the sampler it was $8.50, ours ended up being $10.50 with the bread added on but it was totally worth it!! PB success!

(2.50 stars) I believe that there are two camps of visitors to PB&C: those first-time diners caught up in the novelty, and those who maintain that $5-8 is fair value for the PB&C experience and have chosen to return. I'm in that first group. The concept is great, a re-living of childhood paper bag lunch experiences. The eatery is a bit cutesy, but inoffensive. There are a wide variety of PB combos available and if jelly is your poison, a half dozen jelly choices. If I came here again, chicken salad would probably be my sandwich-- it looked good, and I'm a sucker for well-made chicken salad. I use a somewhat different approach in my Yelp reviews. To me, a "3-star" eatery is one whose experience is-- give or take a bit-- equal to what I can create myself. In that regard, PB&C falls a bit short. Yes, I realize that I'm a heartless bastard, but an honest one!

I KNOW I didn't spend $5 on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on lackluster wheat bread. Why yes, yes I did. After years of wanting to see what the fuss about this place was all about, I dragged my boyfriend over here to try it out. I decided to go with the staple, their "Lunchbox Special" Which featured a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, three carrot sticks and a small bag of their signature potato chips. I also went ahead and got some of their peanut butter cookies. What a fail! First off, there was NOTHING and I mean NOTHING special about their creamy peanut butter. I was expecting it to be out of this world, but it simply was not. Neither was their signature strawberry jam. I actually usually use preserves and not jam when I make my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at home. Anyway, I would have enjoyed my own much better. Their potato chips are just awful, I would avoid those like the plague. Also their peanut butter cookies left A LOT to be desired. Simply put, I could whip up a several much better tasting peanut butter and jelly sandwich at home using my favorite whole grain bread, strawberry preserves and Trader Joe's natural peanut butter and be very happy. In fact all of their "specialty" sandwiches could easily be made at home with more love and care and for less money. I won't be back. *Sits at home chomping on homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwich*

A perfect concept close to a college campus containing bunches of, I imagine, homesick students. I love coming here and sitting down with a sandwich and hot chocolate. The interior is cozy and there is adorable peanut butter & jelly memorabilia, like vintage ads, hanging from the walls. Every order comes with carrot sticks and chips, so you get a sort of "bag lunch" experience. The Elvis (peanut butter, banana, honey) is possibly the most sinful sandwich on the menu if you include the bacon, but it's worth trying at least once, especially if you're a fan of sweet & salty combos. I also recommend Cinnamon Raison Swirl and White Chocolate Wonderful, but my favorite sandwich was the Bee's Knees (honey peanut butter, apple butter, and wheat germ). I was intrigued because I had never had wheat germ before, but the sandwich itself was both wholesome and non-guilt-inducing. Pick up a jar of peanut butter on your way out too! I recommend White Chocolate Wonderful for its creamy sweetness.

Natasha was in the mood for something different, so we set out for Peanut Butter and Company with mixed feelings of intrigue and nostalgia. And trust that the owners really play up the nostalgia part of the experience. A typical peanut butter and jelly sandwich is served with a small bag of chips and a miniature Ziploc bag of carrots -- a child's school lunch from the days of yore. And if they are good at capturing nostalgia, they are even better at marketing. For example, they proudly sell their official cookbook which gives the "recipes" for all of their sandwiches along with peanut butter gift packs. As if that was not enough, they also have celebrity endorsements. Speaking of which, I opted for the "Jerry Seinfeld's Comedy Special" ($6.50) which was a toasted bagel with peanut butter, cinnamon, and honey served with chips and carrots. Verdict? Delicious. A wonderful flavor profile produced by desirable ingredients working in harmony. I really loved the sandwich despite its inherent messiness. Strangely, the weakest aspect though was the peanut butter. For some reason, their peanut butter in general is kind of lackluster and boring. For all of the hype, you would think their peanut butter would be pretty distinctive and at least, kind of spectacular. This observation was not limited to the sandwiches. The peanut butter cookies (4 for $4) similarly did not stand out in any way since the main ingredient was peanut butter. Overall, this is a great vegetarian-friendly spot that delivers on nostalgia and offers up tasty bites to eat. The drawbacks are the slightly inflated prices and the boring peanut butter. 3.75 stars, rounded up to 4

I absolutely loved this place. I've been waiting so long to try Peanut Butter & Co. and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I was overwhelmed by all the choices on the menu board. After about 10 minutes of scanning it I decided to go with the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl sandwich. It was delicious. My friend went with the Cookie Dough Surprise which was also very good. The inside is quite tiny but cool. It had a lot of pictures on the walls which were interesting to look at. They also sell their different peanut butters inside. I was tempted to buy them all. I'm definitely going back to try the other sandwiches soon. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves their peanut butter like I do.

Yes for a peanut butter sandwich this place is a little pricey, but sometimes you just gotta pay for the novelty. I got the Cookie Dough sandwich (peanut butter, vanilla cream cheese and chocolate chips), which I actually wouldn't recommend. Not that it wasn't delicious, but I tried my friend's Elvis w/ Bacon (peanut butter, bananas and bacon, toasted) and HOLY SH!T. I also bought a jar of Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter. I just ate it on a cinnamon french toast bagel, and oh my goodness was it worth the $6. It's on of those things that I wouldn't want all the time so I know it's gonna last. It's not somewhere I would go to multiple times, like I said, it's a novelty. But it's definitely a place to check out! Also, remember to get a glass of m

The little man behind the counter is rude and insulting... First of all let me say I like this peanut butter, you can buy it in most of the big grocery stores. I even sent to some out of state family members. So I purchased a Groupon and stopped by today to purchase four jars of PB. When I placed the jars on the counter the man standing behind the counter asked what I wanted when I pointed to the jars he looked extremely annoyed and said" just give me the coupon I have to check it first." The young woman behind the counter took out a bag and went to reach for the jars...the man motioned to her to stop, grabbed the bag from her....then rudely handed the bag to me...to put the jars in the bag. I was astounded... So if you want to spend $10.00 on a PB sandwich and be treated badly by a little man stop by Peanut Butter & Company... Otherwise just go by a jar at the grocery store.

I went to Peanut Butter & Co on a How About We Couples date. The date included two sandwich creations, two beverages, two apples, two bags of chips, and two bags of carrot sucks. It also included a picnic basket that you get to keep after the date! When we got to Peanut Butter & Co, I instantly fell in love. The place is adorable. It's bright blue on the outside and decorated with old ads and related clippings all focused on peanut butter. The food was delicious and very filling. Although the place is small, it's right near Washington square park so we had our picnic there. I got a bagel with peanut butter, jelly, and fluffand kicked all the containers clean. Overall, the place is adorable, the food is delicious, and the staff is delightful. I would definitely go back again.

Leave it up to New York to afford me the opportunity to eat 8 types of peanut butter and force down a half-tubs worth of this ground up glory. I have no idea why I actually went for the sampler, but maybe I was assuming $8 in New York would not get me much in the way of calories. I was wrong. Only in the Big Apple can you find an unimaginably vast array of shops that can truly center around one item, often an American staple. You can shops that can keep you on track while solely relying on macaroni and cheese. Walking around, you may suddenly crave falafel. What do you know? Plenty of falafel joints lying around. I cannot imagine who would brainstorm up the idea of cranking out an assortment of peanut butter flavors in factory form, but by God, Peanut Butter and Co. does a phenomenal job in keeping this novelty a true treat. The sampler offers every one of their tasty flavors. My favorite is an odd little combination. I take a large glop of the Heat Is On, which by the way is actually very spicy for peanut butter--would do great in a Thai dish, eat it, then proceed to have a half glop of the Dark Chocolate. Take my advice, and mark this down on your to-visit when in the big city. Yeah, there are ethnic delights galore, more street food than you will know what to do with, but how often do you get to be a kid again and order a PB&J? Screw mac and cheese... If I were to run off and be an artisan, peanut butter would be my next move.

Sadly I could make better p b & j sandwich at home. Two things didn't agree with me: the white bread was so insanely dense it almost tasted stale, and the actual amount of peanut butter & jelly was quite pathetic. I like the concept of this place though. Fix those two things and they'll have themselves a winner.

I went through a phase where all I wanted was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. My thoughtful boyfriend decided to take me here after he saw it on the Food Network. Very cute place, there were alot of families having lunch when we went, but I felt totally comfortable geeking out when I saw the menu. Ordered the Elvis (grilled peanut butter with honey and bananas, opted for no bacon) and it was super yummy. Their shakes are pretty good, too. All in all, a nice place to go and experience being a kid again, but not a place I would frequent. You can make the food at home, but I find a sandwich always tastes better when someone makes it for me :)

We just happened upon this place during our recent visit to New York. If you're a peanut butter lover, this is a must for any tourist. We had already eaten lunch so we made a few purchases we couldn't live without. A little chocolate PB, a little hot & spicy PB....maybe I should have sampled more?

This was one of the more disappointing establishments we visited in New York during our visit roughly 9 months ago. The bread was thin and dry. The peanut butter - well, it tasted like Laura Scudder's, but stickier. No matter what, it was a waste of 7 bucks for something I can compose far better myself. I was expecting the best peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich in the world and got the worst one I've ever had in return. Perhaps we should have tried one with White Chocolate or something a bit more exotic. The service was also very slow.

Is $6-8 too much for a peanut butter sandwich? Of course. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I can't wait to get my happy arse back to Peanut Butter & Co to order the White Chocolate Wonderful sandwich - it's white chocolate peanut butter, with orange marmalade and almond slices. It's too good to be true.
(5)
Jaclyn I.

Some of the sandwiches are clearly not worth their $9+ weight, but if you choose right, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Would recommend their milkshakes and desserts. Their peanut butters are the best, hands down. Just finished about 3 spoonful's of Dark Chocolate Dreams. Regular fan of Bee's Knees. Yes, I eat them straight out of the container all on their own and they're delish!!!

After looking in a random college magazine near NYU, i found a coupon for a free jar of peanut butter from PB and Co with the purchase of a sandwich. I decided that it was a good idea to take all the magazines at the kiosk and rip out all of the coupons in the back and plan a group trip to PB & Co. My party of 20. Yes, 20. walked around and went into the quaint establishment in groups of 5 to buy a sandwich and acquire a free jar of Peanut Butter. The restaurant itself was packed and could in no way accomodate us all at the same time. So we got everything to go. I got the Maple Peanut butter with bacon. It survived a train ride to queens and was every bit as delicious as I thought it would be. The others in my group hailed from the West Coast and went ape shit over the Fluffernutter. Along with their free peanut butter, they bought jars of fluff too. I stop in every now and again for a nosh. The sandwiches arent fancy in anyway but damn are they delicious.

I bought a Groupon certificate for my son because he loves peanut butter, but he's gone to the store two times already and they tell him, they are sold out, I don't understand why they keep offering it in Groupon and they don't have the product. I'm so upset that my son was so excited and he can't get his peanut butter.

When I was in undergrad, it became readily apparent to me that my school was insanely proud of all the wacky crazy awesome groundbreaking things its alums were responsible for.* In fact, they were so excited by these great things that they made a neat little website of my fellow innovative alums. Lured in by pictures and blurbs about the co-founder of Flickr, a Survivor winner, and a woman who is credited with the discovery of dark matter, I ignored a paper one night to click through and see who else my school had produced. And there, sandwiched** between a fighter for social reform and "first woman to cross the continent behind the wheel of a car" was Lee Zalben, class of 1995 and founder of Peanut Butter and Company. From that moment. I was pretty much obsessed with the idea of this restaurant and flavored peanut butters. A week ago and three or four or five years later, I finally made it to the place, hoping that I wouldn't feel obligated to tack on an extra star or two because we're fellow alums. And lucky for me (and you), this is an honest 4-star review. IT WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED IT TO BE. I had a bagel with their White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter and vanilla cream cheese. Those two flavors complimented each other really well, and the vanilla cream cheese was as awesome as the peanut butter. It kind of reminded me of a breakfast-y cream cheese frosting. My housemate had The Heat is On sandwich, which is their spicy peanut butter and pineapple jam with grilled chicken on giant white bread. Seems like a weird combo but it was pretty delicious except for that fact that I can't eat spicy things. So for the split second my mouth was not burning to ash, it was a great sandwich. If you don't finish your meal, you can pack it up in tin foil and carry it away in a brown paper bag, which I did so I'd have something for work. Other super cute things included the bag of potato chips and carrot sticks on the side that come with all the meals. And the fact that you can order a sandwich with the crusts cut off. Next time I'm getting the Elvis with bacon... and a dessert! And maybe raspberry Fluff from the shop part of the restaurant. --- *I swear, this is a relevant story. **See what I did there? ha ha ha.

I love peanut butter, so I figured I should come visit this place. I knew I would be getting a shake, but was considering getting a sandwich; that was until I saw the price. $6.25 for a fluffernutter sandwich. I could make one at home for at most a buck. The whole jar of peanut butter was less than the sandwich. We got shakes and left. The shakes were very thin. I think I finished mine by the time we made it to the corner of the street. It was good, and she got the fluffernutter shake, which tasted very good. It is a great idea; I just refuse to pay the prices on the menu for it; and before you think I'm just some cheapskate George Costanza, I buy Once Again for my peanut butter sandwiches.

Had the Elvis - Peanut butter, banana, honey, bacon. I love the concept. (Come on. BACON?) Maybe my excitement was its own downfall, though. Portions were big, but it was thoughtlessly slapped together. I could've made this at home and it would've tasted better -- scratch that, it would have tasted AWESOME. This is saying a lot, as I have once burned water. The Elvis lay on a large, flaccid, bland wheat toast. Bacon was a dollar extra. The first bite was really, really interesting. A quarter into the dish, however, I was over it. The bacon was too salty, the peanut butter too heavy, the honey made a mess. It was like a visit to Astroland*, expecting something closer to Six Flags. I walked away acknowledging that I will most likely not return. Again, excellent in concept, but failed at being worth $9. *********************** Final words: You and your messy pot smoking college dorm roommate, left with nothing in your fridge except peanut butter, wonderbread, and discount bacon. Slathered together generously in anticipation, but finished only out of politeness. *For the newer generations: Before Lunar Park existed a depressing, delapidated little "amusement park" in the abandoned parking lot that was coney island. Carnies lived here. So did homeless people, needles in the sand, and random bags of wet things you couldnt get off your shoe. The Cyclone, its biggest attraction, was old wood painted white that was held together with children's tears.

I'm a HUGE peanut butter fan so I appreciate any cafe that devotes its entire menu to the magical, creamy substance. I had the white chocolate wonderful sandwich (white chocolate peanut butter, orange marmalade, sliced almonds) to take advantage of the free jar of white chocolate wonderful peanut butter that comes with it! It was mad good and made with ingredients that I wouldn't think to put together. The sandwich was also very large (I posted a pic) and the bread is dense enough to hold up to the weight of the peanut butter and marmalade. It also came with chips and 3 carrot sticks. I also saw that they had peanut butter hot chocolate, so I will be back to try that!

When people dine out in large cities, what tends to be the one area that most restaurant goers complain about? Price. So let's start there. I don't care if you're a resident or a tourist. If you're going to complain about how expensive the food is when eating out in a city like New York, then you need to stop eating out in New York. You want a bargain? Go down a block and score yourself a falafel from the dude in the metal box on the corner of W. 4th Street. PB&Co is a novelty. Will the food blow your mind? No. It's peanut butter (with the optional jelly and other toppings). Don't get me wrong. It's good peanut butter and they make a really good sandwich. But at the end of the day, just about everything on their menu can be made very easily and for much less money in the comfort of your own home. But that's not the point, now is it? This place opened while I was a senior in college. I remember seeing a puff piece about it on the local news. I was intrigued and I recall being drawn to the uniqueness of the concept. So I went there with some friends a few days later. The atmosphere was laid back and the menu simple and to the point. To this day they don't really stray too far from their specialty. And that's a good thing because it means they can constantly focus on what makes them interesting. I rarely visit PB&Co anymore because I rarely visit Manhattan. But I've probably eaten there about 20 times over the last 13+ years and that's also a good thing because it keeps it fresh. Like I said: it's a novelty. This is not a place that most people should be frequenting on a regular basis. When one takes into consideration just how little the cost is of much of the ingredients on the menu, penny for penny and dollar for dollar, PB&Co might very well be the most expensive lunch one can have. But to complain about their prices when the location is smack in the middle of some of the most prime real estate on the planet is insanity. It's really simple. If you don't care for the food, you don't go. If you do enjoy the food (and like me the unique concept and menu items) then do go. Five, six, seven, eight dollars for a simple sandwich and some simple sides?!? The outrage! Hey: IT'S NEW YORK CITY. How much is that grilled cheese with a side of fries cost you at just about any diner in Manhattan? $10? Probably more like $13-15. Right? What's the difference? PB&Co is just a little bit more unique and quirky. Their menu (while simple) is filled with things that you won't be able to get anywhere else. And they do a good job of it. So the next time you visit a place like PB&Co, keep in mind where they are located and why you are going there. If you really have that big of an issue with paying $5-8 for pb plus toppings and a side of chips and carrots, then just avoid it. This place is not for you. But if you want something fun and different, if you are a kid at heart (or have kids of your own) and the idea of relaxing in a small, inviting space and chomping down on a nice, warm Elvis seems like a nice idea to you, then go. And enjoy yourself.

5 words: Maple peanut butter bacon sandwich. Omg. Childhood-inducing spot with classic peanut butter treats as well as ones with fun twists. Cost to worth it rating: 4 (sandwiches around $8 if I remember correctly) Return worthiness: yes Eve award: best creative peanut butter sandwich creations Highlights: - Maple peanut butter bacon sandwich: the best peanut butter sandwich I've ever had and possibly one of my favorite sandwiches ever. Start with toasted bread, fill it with not just any peanut butter but maple flavored peanut butter and add crispy bacon slices in the middle if it all. I feel like one of those people on Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network. Just describing it to you makes me want one right now. - Pb chocolate brownie: like how the peanut butter was a thick swirl throughout the dense chocolate brownie - Fluffer nutter: my sis and niece loved this classic - Variety of peanut butter flavors: after I fell in love with maple, I'd like to try them all - Flavored milk: including soy! Yeay for being lactose intolerant friendly - Cute comfort factor: staff makes you feel taken care of and each sandwich comes with carrot sticks and potato chips. Little travel back in time to childhood. - Website domain name: ilovepeanutbutter.com :-) Lowlights: - Super small with just a few tables and not so much ventilation so probably need to take it elsewhere to enjoy I know there's a lot of good eats in NYC, but this is one of the places I'd hop back on the plane for

Peanut butter lovers unite! Peanut Butter and Co is the Mecca land for all who are passionate about PB. Found in the hip and cool Greenwich Village area of NYC, Peanut Butter and Co is a must visit. The cafÃ© itself is nothing extraordinary, just a simple little sandwich shop with no extravagant faÃ§ade or interior. But in it's simplicity lies it's charm and allows for what's on the menu to really stand out. The menu features unique and delicious sandwich combinations. There you will find combinations, such as white chocolate peanut butter and marmalade or cinnamon raisin peanut butter and apple slices, married in sweet holy matrimony and honeymooning between two good ol' fashion pieces of bread. Not ready for such delectable bliss? You can always just kick it old school and order classics like PB&J or ants on a log. And don't worry, there are some other "regular" menu items as well, such as tuna fish sandwiches or grilled cheese, but really there is no point to go to this restaurant and order such ordinary food. Because at Peanut Butter and Co, sandwiches filled with that sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy, cream of the Gods flow like water and taste like heaven. Enjoy. Oh! And when you leave, don't forget to pick up a jar (or two) of PB and CO's unique peanut butter flavors or their fun cookbook!

I love peanut butter, but I hate Peanut Butter & Co. Go figure. Why, you may ask? First, the bread was old. Come on, guys, $7+ for a PB sandwich? It should at least have fresh bread! Second, the ultra surly and hostile cashier/waiter/sandwich maker. He stared right at me as I gave my order, then walked away to the back and didn't come back for what felt like three minutes. Nice service! Then, he gave me a hard time about finishing my water in the restaurant. Ask nicely, and I'll be happy to oblige. This place is crap.

Ah, Peanut Butter & Company - with your cute, blue kitchenette decor and your adorable monkey mascot - I see right through your angelic, child-like exterior. I typically will not buy food I can make on my own (and, really, who can't make a peanut butter sandwich?), but I've had my exceptions now and again. The Cookie Dough (peanut butter, cream cheese, and chocolate chips) and the Peanut Butter BLT (self-explanatory - and yes, PB and bacon do somehow compliment one another) are my two go-to sandwiches at this joint. The peanut butter is delicious, sure, but a bite into one of these guys won't set off fireworks. I mean, if there's anything to take away from all of this, please keep in mind - it's still just a peanut butter sandwich. The vintage advertisements are a nice touch, for sure, until you start seeing pennies for prices on the posters and realize that not only has inflation over the years been royally screwing you, but so has Peanut Butter & Company. Their menu is just too expensive when, again, we're just talkin' about peanut butter sandwiches here. This establishment will be sure to bring you back to days of recess, dirty, sunny summer afternoons, picnic tables designed for elementary school-sized kids, and all those other good nostalgic feelings that come with peanut butter sandwiches. But, in the end, while I can acknowledge giving a place like Peanut Butter & Company less than three stars is equivalent to saying you hate puppies, with prices hovering around $6 to $8, I just can't justify the cost - no matter how you slice it.

This might be embarrassing to admit, but my favorite restaurant in New York City is probably PB&Co. I come for a sandwich every time I am in town. The staff is always nice and polite, and their sandwiches are delicious. Their recent groupon deal was wonderful, and I'm happy to be able to take home some PB that isn't sold in my hometown, plus I got a cute totebag!

good peanut butter sandwich. yah just good. i mean its cool that they have this niche and they sell their PB in my local stop and shop. We had a fluffernutter and one that was nutella and pb. both were good, they use big loaves of bread. i think it was $14 for two PB sandwiches. came with chips and carrots. if you have kids with you and they really like peanut butter, its a unique place to stop. it is TINY and seating during lunch time for us wasnt an option, so we took our food to washington sq park and enjoyed it al fresco ..

not your average PB&J! i got the lunch box special. very good! i also bought a jar of peanut butter to take home. just the basic one. that was good too. i really like it. not a fan off the oils floating in it. i get u have to stir it around lol. its not a bad place. not sure if i would pay 6 bucks for a PB&J again but its worth a taste. nice neighborhood and cozy place.

To be fair, it was quite a long time ago that I came here so perhaps something has changed since then---they def have expanded their menu, I don't remember any non pb offerings when I went previously. My girlfriends and I decided to have "dinner" here before heading to a comedy show. I was sooo looking forward to it because their jarred peanut butter really is the bees knees...even if it's not that flavor. I ordered the pb and bacon sandwhich, I'm thinking it was the mighty maple. It was ok. I was seriously waiting to fall on the floor in ecstasy and I was seriously underwhelmed. The place is very modest, kina grimey, again nothing to rave about. So we had our PBs and headed out to get plastered. It was not the most memorable part of the night that's for sure. If you're in the area sure stop in, if you're in the store you should absolutely pick up a jar of their pb--I am partial to white chocolate wonderful and cinnamon raisin, the dark chocolate is also phenomenal. Otherwise nothing spesh here....

Came to Peanut Butter & Co last night on a date from my datebook on HowAboutWe-Couples and had a really unique, fun experience. I had't heard of them before and am so glad we found them right in our neighborhood! We had an off-menu sandwich called the cherry cheesecake and it was delicious- think cherry jelly, cream cheese and dark chocolate peanut butter! Ridiculously good! We also tried the peanut butter sampler- which I would highly recommend. My favorites were the maple and white chocolate. I want to come back this weekend and try the Elvis with Bacon- peanut butter, honey, bananas and BACON!! Long live the King is right! yummy! We left with two jars of peanut butter to take home. They also have great gift options for all those PB&J lovers out there!

Elivs has left the building!!! He picked up some bacon and made one hell of a sandwich! Ok, we destroyed this place, ordered 1 of everything (more or less). All in all...a little on the high priced side but remember, you're talking New York City and there is some craft behind these sandwiches. The bread here is key. think a homemade "Wonder bread" but dense. The density of the bread is what makes this sandwich stand out on its own. It gives a great consistency to the sandwich. Without good bread, this sandwich would be just another Peanut Butter and (insert topping here). With this yummy bread you taste the peanut butter, the topping and the bread. Really key to the success of this sandwich shop! I wonder if they'll share the bread recipe with us? Now...let me introduce the Elvis. Hunka Hunka Love this! I didn't think I'd like it all that much. I love me the bacon, Peanut Butter and Bananas, but all together??? Was Elvis a lazy stoner? Maybe, given how good this sandwich was! Try it, don't fight it, it's AWESOME! 4 days 3000 miles later I am still craving some bacon, banana and peanut butter!

Used to come here all the time when I lived in NYC. Still a spot I visit when I return. Everything I've ever tried here has been fabulous. Who doesn't love peanut butter? I dream about the PB&J shake. Literally. It's that good.

I love peanut butter! It's one of my MOST favorite foods. I found out about this place when I noticed "The Heat is On" Peanut Butter in my local grocery store. I finally made it down to the sandwich shop and and was so disappointed. I wanted nothing more than to LOVE this place and all of it's PB glory. I was with a friend and we shared: Lunchbox (Smooth PB and Raspberry Preserves) - This was just a run-of-the-mill PB&J sandwich. Yes, we could have ordered something more exciting but I LOVE a good homemade PB&J and I expected to love this one too. I wasn't so impressed. The Elvis (didn't opt for the bacon though) - It was strangely good, but not AMAZING! PB Cookie - I was so upset that it didn't have more PB flavor. It was also a bit dry and too crumbly. PB Shake - I hate to say this, but it was the worst PB shake I've ever had in my life. It was lacking PB and was way too "milky." It could have been thicker. I will excuse it a tad because the guy who made it was in training. I might never go back here, but I do like to buy the peanut butter in the grocery store to use at home. That gives them +1 star.

Let me start by saying I'm biased to any place that serves anything with Nutella in it. and Peanut Butter & Co does just that. Location - Ideal... Easy to walk off the calories after you eat a 4000 caloried sandwich, easy to park if you are coming from a different borough (after 7pm). Easy to meet an NYU gal since this is our roaming grounds. Staff - I met a very nice quirky, Indian girl maybe? She loved her job. Putting aside the money, I was almost jealous of her for a minute, she just loved to serve people and answer any and all questions about peanuts. Prices - Typical, not cheap but not expensive. Granted you could make your own PBJ sandwich for a fraction of the cost it just isn't the same, where would you even check-in? Peanut Butters - You could sample all of them free! White chocolate, dark chocolate, ultra smooth, maple, and a ton more. Menu - 5 stars for all the different choice of sandwiches. You also have the option to create your own, add fluff or nutella, take away bananas, add honey, and sky is the limit folks! The ones my friends usually get are the Seinfeld sandwich (Just because they like the show), PB BLT (bacon on anything for life), an Elvis one (with hunka bunka honey), and the pregnant lady sandwich (yup peanut butter and pickles). Besides sandwiches, they also have sundaes and plenty of other desserts that will leave you needing milk, and lucky for you that is exactly what they serve here, now get that mouth messy and wash down that roof of your mouth with some cold milk.

Didja ever get fed up with lunch? Didja ever know what to get but couldn't put it together in your mind? Burger? Too Greasy Pizza? Too Greasy Hot dog? - No hot dog breath for me Salad? I have eaten so much salad that I feel like I'm a rabbit. Too boring Soup? Too hot I'm downtown and knowing where I'm at put me in the mood for a Dark Chocolate Dream with Whole Wheat Bread, Dark Chocolate and Cherry Preserves. Oh and a Soy Milk! I sat down to pretty empty place and I get a plate with their brand of chips and carrot sticks. Now if I really wanted Peanut Butter for lunch I'm sure I could have wrapped it in foil and brought it with me and saved the cash. Do I have dark Chocolate and coconut at home? Come here and stop being a grumpy bear. Turn that frown upside down! Worth every nickel..

It is possible that when I went to PB & Co. I had some fairly unrealistic expectations. It is possible that I thought I would not want to leave...ever. I love peanut butter and it is entirely possible that I was putting the peanut butter on a pedestal*. With all the possibilities and expectations, I may have overdone it because I left disappointed. Granted, this review is based on one trip and one Elvis (grilled peanut butter sandwich, stuffed with bananas and honey) and I expect to change my tune when I can have a couple different options, but I was underwhelmed. My first mistake was not adding the bacon to the Elvis. For some reason I thought I should keep it old school on my first mission. Anytime I pass up bacon it is regrettable and embarrassing and I still feel bad about it. The sandwich was just that, a sandwich. I felt like I could have made it at home and maybe if I actually chose something that I would less likely be able to create at home I would have been more pleased. But, the place is cute and the service was very friendly and helpful. There are a number of tables and chairs in there, but they are jammed pretty tight. The fact that I just read about a Fluffernutter shake means the errors in my first visit are on me, I should have known more and ordered bacon. I shall return. _________________________ * Yes, this is a 40-Year-Old Virgin reference. I'm sure you remember the true verbage.

Super fun and casual. Tried the cookie dough sandwich - not my fav but my 7-year-old daughter loved it. Will stick with the more traditional PB and marshmallow. This place is always a crowd pleaser!

So...this place is pretty cool. The atmosphere was pretty laid back. Sandwiches are yummy! The staff...cud be nicer. Mayne it was the time of the day I went (Tuesday afternoon around 2pm) but the guy taking my order seemed a lil stressed for working at a PD&J shop... Its a good place to take kids if you have 'em.But lord help you if there even two families there, cuz you won't get a seat. The place doesn't have that much seating so you may want to wait till the evening when the kiddies are home to go. Still recommend it tho! :)

After reading about all the interesting varieties and combinations of peanut butter, I had high hopes and took my Peanut-Butter-loving-teenager an hour out of our way to visit the place. Definitely, wasn't worth the effort. I bought a groupon; 4 jars for $12; but arrived to find bare shelves. All the interesting varieties were gone (nothing with chocolate or honey), just plain old super-market-style PB. And workers would couldn't care less. No apologies, no alternatives, nothing. Any they did have the interesting kinds that lured me there in the first place. Actually, they had hundreds of "6-pack assortments" with the exact same jars that I wanted. But the rude little guy was unwilling to both (A) break open the assortments, or (B) sell the the 6-pack and have me pay full retailer for the extra 2 jars. The checkout girl didn't say a single word to me. The place isn't worth the headache.

If you're going to do just peanut butter, you better do it right. What a disappointment. My husby loves peanut butter, so when we walked by this place we decided to stop in. They've got sammies, desserts and drinks basically. We shared a PB sammy off the "gourmet" menu (that's bull) called The Bees Knees after a recommendation from the girl behind the counter. It was a half toasted sammy with what tasted like JIF and smuckers jelly. For $7, I could have had a turkey and Swiss, a BLT, hell maybe even a Reuben if I really wanted one. Instead I spent $7 on a sammy that could cost me 30 cents at home. And I know this place is not a cafe or coffee bar, but the coffee was cold and just like coffee water. Blech. To top it all off, the other guy behind the counter was extremely rude when I asked for a paper cup for my coffee even though I was dining in. He hadn't even poured it into the mug yet. He sighed and gave me the stink eye. Never smiled, wasn't pleasant and had no manners--no please, no thank you, nothing--Just cold and dead inside.

renje g.

Did I really just pay 8 dollars for a peanut butter sandwich and milk? Unfortunately the answer is yes I did, and the sad part is that I was not satiated. At 8 dollars, I was expecting the best peanut butter sandwich I ever tasted in my life. Nope, nothing special about it, just a regular ol' PB&J. The low rating comes from the price. Maybe I should've gotten the variety sandwiches, my restaurant-mates seemed to love their sandwiches and the place was packed on a Thursday afternoon. So maybe it's my fault for getting the plain jane sandwich...Probably not thought

Jacob C.

Why would someone agree to pay $7 for a PB&J? Because they make damn good PB&J's! Peanut Butter & Co. took the most simple food you can think of and took it to another level. They throw things in there like bacon and marshmallow fluff! They have something like 7 or 8 different kinds of peanut butter with different flavors and various flavors of jellies, jams and marmalades. I had the White Chocolate Wonderful sandwich, and what can I say other than it was wonderful! I can't wait to go back to try all the other flavors!

Great for vegetarians/vegans. They have vegan bread and rice milk options. I ordered something grilled, and my server made sure to ask if I was veg so it was grilled on a different part of the grill than the bacon. Small seating area.

This place makes you feel like you're back at home making a peanut butter sandwich to watch your favorite cartoons. I had the Elvis - pb, banana, honey. The sandwich was grilled to a hot and melty mess. It was delicious and I enjoyed every freakin' bite!

My girlfriend and I came here on a howaboutwe couples date for Saturday lunch and it was excellent. We had a table reserved for us right by the window which was great because almost all the other ones were taken. We shared the fluffernutter and it was so sweet and delicious. We sampled each of the six varieties of peanut butter they make and took home jars of the maple and white chocolate. I can't wait to come back and try The Heat Is On.

$10 MINIMUM FOR CHARGING ON A CARD! Wish I had known that before coming so I want to get that out of the way first. I've been anticipating coming here for a while so I think I was generous with my 4 stars just because I was so happy that I even made it here before I died. The service was not so great. The guy behind the counter was a little rude and seemed like I was wasting his time by even being there or, heaven forbid, ask a question about which sandwich is the most popular. BUT he did answer and he did give me my sandwich, so I guess that's all that can be expected, kindness would have gotten him a tip I guess. I ordered the cinnamon raisin pnut butter sandwich with vanilla cream cheese and sliced apples, on wheat bread and GRILLED. it was so. good. I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to food so it doesn't take much to make me happy, but when I saw the pnut butter and cream cheese oozing out of the stuffed sandwich, I got REALLY happy, though I kept in my moaned of delight so as to avoid further judgement from the cashier. ANYWAY, it really was a delicious sandwich. I don't really like cream cheese at all actually, but the flavors complimented each other very well. I was more than pleased. I got the carrot sticks and chips to go as I plan on feeding some wild life on my walk back to the train- I did only come here for peanut butter after all. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone. It's such a cool concept and tasty too! Just don't plan on getting a welcoming committee. =]

For the unititiated, PB & Co applies a concept that everything on the menu, yes everything, should be made of or with peanut ingredients. yes yes yes! thank you PB & Co! you are perhaps the best concept restaurant in lower manhattan/NYU! I embrace your goodness! The quality of your bread and freshness of the handmade peanut butter exceeds the quality of any sandwich I've ever made for myself and that's why I need to keep coming back! Service is excellent. I'm stuck on you... What would I do without you?

The place was downright seedy and disgusting. I was not expecting four-star service, but c'mon, even a little effort to present a clean and appealing place that does not look like a bus station cafe? That being said, I sucked it up because I love peanut butter. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I've had my share of mass-marketed brands, organic, freshly-ground and so on, but the stuff here was just a total let-down for a place that has nothing better to do than serve peanut butter. The original peanut butter was watery (no, not oily) and had absolutely no taste - what the heck was in that container? I was not a fan of most of the samples because the base peanut butter just was not really that good. The exceptions were the White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate, but well...those were really blended spreads rather than PB. I'll give some props to the Cinnamon Raisin (had a certain appeal) and the kick of "The Heat is On" was interesting, but I have no idea what I'd actually do with it. What do they serve the sampler with? Little plastic packages of melba toast - talk about appealing. Can't even get me a decent cracker. The whole thing was an epic fail.

Im giving a 4 star because im jumping the gun to even write a review here. I found their peanut butter at Christmas Tree shops for a measly 2.00 and decided to try the White Chocolate Wonderful. I thought, ill probably hate this and throw it out but lets try it anyways. Its so good! Im now obsessed with it and want to try all the flavors as well as visit the storer/restaurant. Once i do I will re-review :)

This place is great. It's like kid heaven for grown-ups. Great, fun sandwiches. They are a little pricey for what they are, considering I think we could all make a PB&J sandwich at home, but these do not disappoint! Staff is very friendly, as well.

Super cute, cafe-style setup. I first came across Peanut Butter & Co at the NY Chocolate Show in November and was blown away by all the different peanut butter concoctions available: sweet, savory, spicy...you name it, they make it! I've been meaning to check out this place and couldn't put it off any longer when I saw the ScoutMob 50% off deal and dragged along my coworker who adores PB! I went for the Elvis with bacon. I figured the salty, crunchy bacon would be a nice contrast to the smooth, sweet peanut butter and bananas. The first couple bites were pretty good, I admit. After that, it was overkill. I could barely get down half the sandwich. Part of the issue may have been ordering the Fluffernutter shake (peanut butter and fluffernutter) on top of the sammie. Both were fantastic by themselves, but I wouldn't recommend them together. I think my blood glucose level hit the 300 range. Hyper, Hyper, Hyper...Hyperglycemia! I'm bouncing off the walls!

I LOVE Peanut Butter and when I took a trip to NYC, I had to visit this place. Its my Peanut Butter heaven........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh This is a small restuarant close to NYU, majority of the sandwiches are made with homemade peanut butter. Really great place to stop by if you are walking around that area and need a quick snack fix. The sandwiches are large and can be pretty messy, so don't go there if you have nice clothes on. I recommend The Elvis - toasted white bread, crunchy peanut butter, banana,honey and bacon. Sounds gross, but its strangely good. Go to Peanut Butter & Co , eat a sandwich, wash it down with a cold glass of milk (soy if you're lactose intolerant) and buy some homemade peanut butter. I love the white chocolate peanut butter, its just a spoonful of pure goodness!

I'm precisely the sucker the sickeningly young Lee Zalben had in mind when he invented a specialty PBJ joint. I love peanut butter and I l cannot resist themed establishments when cheap enough in an absolute sense that I am not too cranky about the ridiculous profit they must make off of a $7 peanut butter sandwich. I am slightly disappointed in the execution of this wonderful idea, but only slightly. Peanut Butter & Co has a dozen peanut butter sandwiches to choose from, incorporating ingredients such as bacon. nutella, bananas, cream cheese, coconut, and chicken. Additionally, there are many varieties of jelly and peanut butter to choose from. You can order milk or a shake to go with it. And don't worry, they have a few non peanut butter items like grilled cheese in case you have dragged along a peanut-disinclined freak. The process of ordering a peanut butter sandwich and later eating it is almost as fun as I dreamed it would be, but even after eating there a third time, the food doesn't quite measure up to the concept. A friend commented to me that he didn't like the peanut butter, but for me it's the bread - it's big, but not thick, and a little dry. It makes the sandwich hard to eat and overwhelms the peanutbuttery goodness. Definitely don't order the peanut butter club, which is a double decker PBJ. And it sort of bothers me that they have all these peanut butter desserts. I'd like to try them, but if I come here for a sandwich, not even I am willing to risk overdose by following it up with a slice of chocolate peanut butter pie. If you want something sweet, the milkshakes are pretty darn good - they look thinner than they are. I am a bit creeped out by the owner, the self-denominated "peanut butter guy," who threatens on potato chip packages that his mom will get you if you don't eat your carrot sticks.

Eryn K.

I hafta say, I'm one of the BIGGEST PBJ fans EVER. I eat one pretty much everyday on all types of carbohydrates...even rice cakes. So yes I'm obsessed. So essentially I was JUICED To come here but... It's honestly...just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We ordered the double decker PBJ and it honestly just tasted like some chunky Skippy and Smuckers Strawberry on toasted bread just doubled. I was expecting some FRESH jelly and some FRESH tasting peanut butter. My friend got the Elvis which was the peanut butter, bacon, hoeny, and bananas. Again...I could've made the exact same thing. It was good. But it wasn't good enough to buy. I definitely could've made my own. In general it was mediocre. Go make your own.

Quite possibly the cutest little (and I mean little!) restaurant I've been to in quite some time- if not ever. I wish soooo badly we had something like this here in Chi-town. Alas! I don't think the red meat obsessed masses could handle it. I'd like to be proven wrong, though! I got the White Chocolate Wonderful and it was, indeed, wonderful. Orange marmalade...almonds...how do they come up with this stuff? Oh, and the addition of carrot sticks and potato chips with every sandwich is too fun. They also get big points for offering their soda in bottles.

I love PB & Co peanut butter (enough to pay $6 for it...occasionally) so I thought I'd check out their shop in the village. I was disappointed! Vegans take note: your only option for bread is black bread. Not cool. Also none of the desserts are vegan. Sandwiches are large and come with a miniscule serving of chips and carrots. I guess it's a cute sort of novelty shop (they also sell peanut butter - obviously - and jams and T-shirts and whatnot) but I wouldn't come here again. You're better off just buying the pb and concocting your own sandwich creations at home.

Emmaline W.

A very cute shop that I'm sure is almost always packed. I've only been here once since I wanted to see what all the buzz was about but it's definitely an experience. :) If you don't mind paying for some overpriced peanut butter sandwiches that you could have easily made at home, hey, it's definitely worth it especially if you're making the trip all the way to Greenwich! I got the Elvis and a cup of chocolate milk to wash it down and I think it totaled around 10 bucks but I didn't mind since it came with a bag of potato chips and 4 carrot sticks! You probably won't get a place to sit, but you can always eat and view the shops...especially that cool shop across the street from it that sells pipes and bongs. An overall, A-Ok experience. I appreciate their natural ingredients and their cute little monkey logo. They also have some cute postcards! Buy one for your pen pal and they'll surely be green with envy when they see they high stacked peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the card!

Stopped in here a few years ago after seeing it on Food Network. This recent trip, Mrs T and I stopped in for desert and to pick up some flavored peanut butter. Mrs T ate some peanut butter cookies (very moist and tasty) and I had a peanut butter swirled fudge brownie (great). We picked up strawberry fluff for our daughter as well as several flavored peanut butters: Smooth Operator Mighty Maple The Bee's Knees Dark Chocolate The Heat is On.

i love pb more than i love some people in life. the place itself is nothing really fancy, just a home-like feel for some good old pb. my bff ordered the sample platter and my inner child was happy. i wasn't too excited about the hot pb but everything else was tasty.

Took the kids here after reading reviews. They enjoyed it a lot. I had the elvis based off counter guys recommendation...it was fair. I make a better one at home. The wife had the dark chocolate dream. That was very good. Cute place, but still pricey for a PB sandwich.

Peanut butter, peanut butter and peanut butter! Oh man... Not that this place was bad but i guess i'm just not that much of a peanut butter fan! It was yummy for a few bites, but i got tired of having peanut butter for lunch! Had a nice lunch with a guy friend for under 10$, which wasn't half bad! The atmosphere for this shop was "ehh", not perfect but it was a nice little lunch spot. But WARNING to those who ARENT a big fan of peanut butter! You're going to get so tired of your meal if youre not sharing, so its better if you share with a friend! P.S - Mad filling!

Donna L.

We stopped by here since it was on the food network. Unfortunately, it's like one of those things... They hyped it up so much, it was no big deal, although it probably was never that big of a deal to begin with. My friends ordered The Elvis...They said it was good, but not inventive. I ordered "Jerry Seinfeld's Comedy Special", basically it's peanut butter on taste with honey and cinnamon powder. I can promise you that mine is 10x better... However, the eating experience was very nice in the sense that it was like eating at home, comfort food. It wasn't until in the end that I knocked down a star from three to two. 5 min before closing time at 9, we were about to finish and an employee came up and ask "Are you almost finished?" So I said to my friends, That, just cost them a star on Yelp. We were very aware by the lights going off and things being put away, it was not necessary to kick customers out by being so rude about it. So there, Peanut Butter & Co, you should train some of your employees. Update: 3rd star for good response from the management.

I really wanted to love this place. I love peanut butter and the place itself was adorable. The staff was friendly and my food was ready relatively quickly. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't that good. Since I was paying so much for it I guess I expected higher quality. It was good peanut butter, but you don't get much of it, and the grilled bread had a weird aftertaste. I'll probably visit again and see if I like another menu item better, but overall it was kind of underwhelming for such a great concept.

Monica B.

Such a cute place! I went here on a date with my husband when we were still dating. It was the first time either of us had ever been there. We were a little overwhelmed by all the flavors of peanut butter that we mutually decided to get their sampler platter. We got to sample a little bit of each flavor so that next time we go we can choose exactly what we wanted. All the flavors are delicious, my favorite was the cinnamon raisin peanut butter. They have a lot of savory and sweet dishes. Worth trying!!!

Sami C.

This has to be one of the cutest cafes I have ever been to. And the bonus is that the majority of food contains peanut butter! I was very excited about bringing my other half here and I think he enjoyed it too - we had a great lunch! My favourite is the peanut butter BLT sandwich - the bacon is lovely and crispy and the peanut butter gives it an unusual twist. We also had the spicy peanut butter with grilled chicken and pineapple jam. It was really nice - the heat from the peanut butter was well balanced with the pineapple jam, it really was quite refreshing. I also really liked the chocolate and peanut butter milkshake - really did quench thirst! I've been here once before and found this visit much less stressful as it wasn't anywhere near as busy as when I went on a Saturday. A must visit for peanut butter lovers!!!

You may want to get a glass of milk for this... My roommate and I have been meaning to go here, so now that she is out of town I went with another friend... shhhhh.... We ordered the 2 things that soundest the strangest: an elvis with bacon added and "the heat is on" chicken and pineapple and peanut butter?... gross right... SOooo good... we each took half of each sandwich, I personally preferred "the heat is on" and my friend love the bacon and peanut butter combo of "the elvis" We sat we chatted then... they gave everyone in the place a free tub of their peanut butter... YAY! Oh shite I better eat that before my roommate sees the evidence

saw this place on the food network and looked very interesting and unique, so I went with my bf. I must say it was alright. although, if this was more close to me, I could see myself goin here evry now and then to experiment with all the variety but it's kind of out of the way so nothing I got stuck with me to crave back again. Well my bf got the Elvis with bacon which I think it should just come with bacon and not charge extra, wack. cuz honestly i can imagine it being really boring without the bacon. The taste? not bad, but definitely something I could make at home and not pay like $9 for it. Not worth buying again. I ordered the Dark chocolate dreams and cherry jam stuffed with shredded coconut. I usually don't mind shredded coconut but they put too much in it for my taste. I like the fact that you can choose if you want wheat or white bread. it was good overall. I may get it again because I love dark chocolate. but not too fond of the price because of the simplicity and the fact that it's breakfast food. i did enjoy the dark chocolate peanut butter they used.

Of course you can make your own PB sandwhich at home for way cheaper, but it's kinda fun being in public with other people that understand your love for peanut butter. Sitting at a table in PB & Co, eating a PB&J with a tall glass of milk, a few carrots and a mini bag of chips, surrounded by people who are thinking, "I feel 8 years old all over again"...come on. That is worth $7. Plus, the people that work there are so gosh-darn friendly. That's reason enough to pay them a visit.

I am an NYU student and so is my roommate, I still work in and she previously worked in the service industry (to put ourselves through school.) The counter guy literally RUINED my mood for a solid few hours after my experience. He was so rude. We inquired about the credit card policy and he got extremely defensive and downright mean then he followed his short answer with a meanly toned snap at how my roommate has to throw away her gatorade if we want to stay there. I will never go into this place again. I understand the stereotypes for NYU students and college kids in general but I am an extremely hard-working kid who rarely spend the money to eat out. I looked forward that overpriced yet tasty sandwich for days and this bitter guy was so unpleasant that I didn't even have a stomach for it after I wrapped it up in foil and ate in Washington Square Park instead of staying in that negative environment with my roomy. This guy should be fired immediately. He is hurting the business by a mile and especially all of the reputations of the other employees I would be livid if I had to work with him.

3.5 provided you can order the right thing. Anything with Vanilla Cream cheese in that store is a must-have. The Cookie Dough Surprise (the surprise being that there's no cookie dough) is unbelievable as a desert/meal hybrid sorta thing. It's seriously unbelievable (peanut butter, vanilla cream cheese, and chocolate chips). Get this or the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl (just trust me on the vanilla cream cheese... please, for your sake).

Um I think I let my expectations get the best of me. I had the Elvis (with bacon) and a chocolate peanut butter shake. The shake was just okay and the sandwich was good but nothing special. Maybe it was the expectations I had, maybe it is because I could make that sandwich better myself, whatever the reason I just wasn't won over.

Artie Lange, of Howard Stern Show fame, once told a story of a "friend" of his who was propositioned at the Playboy Mansion. "Do you want to know what a $500 b!*wj*b feels like?" "You know what?" answered the "friend." "I think that it will feel a lot like a $20 b!*wj*b." And, there in one wildly inappropriate analogy, is the problem with Peanut Butter & Co. As good as their sandwiches are, they are only comprised of two or three basic ingredients, and there is just not much you can do with that. I had a Peanut Butter & Nutella which at $7 was about as good as a Peanut Butter & Nutella sandwich can be. The white bread was comically huge, the peanut butter had been distributed perfectly, the tin foil wrapped looked like it had the wrinkles taken out with an iron. But, after it all, there still wasn't enough to distinguish it from a $3.50 Peanut Butter & Nutella sandwich.

Overpriced to the max. My brother and I come every month because he stumbled on some coupons and we freeload off of that. But other than that, the Peanut Butter store makes amazing spicy peanut butter and I love the side serving of carrots and chips. The store is just a block or few off for those NYU kids, so they're really lucky :) The interior design is unique and somewhat nostalgic and I love the original and kooky names given to some of the sandwiches. Being in the store just gives one a sense of youth and laughter (when your peanut butter drips onto a copy of The Onion). I intend to return with my friends and try new sandwiches. :D

It was by random coincidence that I ended up @ PB & Co. For starters, my meal @ Blue Ribbon Sushi did nothing for me in terms of substance. So, I opted to take my first venture to Peanut Butter & Company to see what all the fuss was about. I opted to order "The Elvis", a Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich that's drizzled with Honey. Allow for me to put my review in a Pro/Con list... Pros... 1) The sandwich came with a side of Potato Chips & Carrots 2) Please proceed to the "Cons" section. There are no more "Pros" Cons... 1) The Price! $7.50 for a Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich!?!?! 2) The Contrast! The Peanut Butter and Banana didn't even blend in well together! 3) The Peanut Butter! For $7.50, you would think they'd give you more than a tablespoon and a half! 4) The Bread! When you advertise WHOLE WHEAT BREAD, don't give me WHEAT BREAD! There's major nutritional contrast between the two mentioned. Don't think that every person entering your restaurant will fall victim because the slice of bread used is the color brown. I think I'd know the difference. 5) The Honey... Seriously, where was it? I didn't even get a hint of it. Not to take that much away from PB & Co. but the sandwich definitely did not live up to the hype. I won't deny that the restaurant had great service and was extremely clean but ultimate, the taste and execution of their "Elvis" variety did not produce the welcoming satiety that's found with Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches. Perhaps the Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich is better for such an occasion. Of course, that will be more another venture. Sadly, the first pilgrimage failed to deliver.

Surprisingly, the best thing about this place is their tuna melt - it is SERIOUSLY delicious! The peanut butter sandwiches are good, but overpriced for what they are. The desserts aren't anything special. There are a few tables inside and I've always been able to find a place to sit, as the majority of people seem to get their food for take-out. It always smells heavenly in this place, so I enjoy staying in to eat. If you haven't tried the tuna melt, you should the next time you go. It's really, really good.

When I first heard about "Peanut Butter & Company" on the PBS documentary "Sandwiches You Will Like," I was curious on how a peanut butter sandwich restaurant could be labeled as a top notch place to eat so I had to find out. After the completion of my meal here, I can say that it was quite an experience. I tried The Elvis (A grilled peanut Butter sandwich, stuffed with bananas and honey plus bacon) and the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Sandwich (Cinnamon-Raisin Peanut Butter and vanilla cream cheese, stuffed with crisp apple slices). Both the sandwiches were very good and the peanut butter was tasty BUT I would try this place strictly for the novelty. If I lived in this area, I couldn't see myself going to this place on a weekly basis to get peanut butter sandwiches. If there are any peanut butters you haven't tasted, you can always buy one of their peanut butter jars and take it home to try at your own leisure. Try it once at least though!!!! Plus, when else would you dare to taste peanut butter, bacon, and bananas all together?

WTF??!!?!!?!??!!!? A sucker is born every minute. Some shit is just better homemade. Especially something as stupid easy as peanut butter and jelly. The Elvis sandwich is kinda funny... NO NO NO NO NO If you're in the neighborhood, check this place out and take a dump in their bathroom. That's all it's good for.

I wouldn't say I'm the biggest peanut butter fan, but I am a fan of new and unique places. I go to school near here, so I drop by time to time and will pick up some goodies for friends. This is a small, quaint little restaurant with a modest corner for some peanut butter goods...but I like it, it's quite nostalgic. They even play kids songs which kind of gives you the full experience as you're chomping away on a PB invention. However, last week was the first time I actually came in to dine and my experience probably won't have me coming back. My friend was visiting from California and this was our last NYC food experience before her flight out-so I wanted it memorable. The process here is you order your food at the cashier, pay, and then eat and clean up after yourself. My friend and I were mulling over the menu, but nobody was behind us so it wasn't a big deal. When we started to order, the cashier seemed so annoyed and I have no idea why. We didn't have any order modifications and were straightforward. He then said something along the lines of "when we call your order, you have to come up and get it. It doesn't come to you." I thought this was so tacky and pretty obvious. If someone is calling my name and waiting with my food at the counter, I clearly will go up and get it. The place isn't even big enough for this to get lost in translation. I brushed it and off and thought maybe I misinterpreted it. When our names were called, my friend went to go get our food and he again said something obvious and unnecessary...something like "when you're done, the garbage is right there and you need to clean up after yourself." I understand it may look like I'm looking too much into this...but he gave us nothing- no smile, no greeting, and just demands.A stranger next to us even jokingly said "wow, he hates you guys." I also didn't see him saying this to anyone else. I interpreted these things as him just basically saying "I don't want to service you". My friend and I aren't rowdy, we aren't children, and we know manners. We gave him no reason to treat us like that and it was embarrassing because I wanted to show my friend a cute place while she was in town. The food in itself is not worth the money...I got a peanut butter BLT and my friend got a maple PB sandwich. I don't know why but I thought they would find a way to mesh the two together in a way that I couldn't duplicate at home...but it was literally just a BLT with peanut butter and it wasn't horrible but not something I'd order again. Especially for $7 per sandwich.... I'm sure their desserts and other sandwiches are redeeming but in between my overpriced mediocre sandwich and the bad customer service...I will not be returning. I fell in love with the gimmicky blast from the past and thought it was awesome getting my friends gifts from THE NYC peanut butter & co. place...but that doesn't outweigh the experience I just had. I also found out you can buy the same stuff from Whole Foods...so if anything, I will be directing my business there. Hope others have a better experience!

Very cute and nostalgic. Get an Elvis sandwich with maple peanut butter and milk! A one time splurge (I would never again pay this much for something I can easily make at home), but a decent place to rekindle childhood memories :)

I am only giving them three stars because I am not a big fan of peanut butter. They offer a lot of options. We ordered Peanut Butter Sampler and The Elvis. The Peanut Butter Sampler came with 8 different peanut butters. It was pretty cool to try them. The Elvis was a peanut butter sandwich with bacon! My friends thought it was good. It is pretty big. If you are not super hungry I suggest that you find a friend to share.

Last year, I was at a housewarming party and the drunken host came over and asked me: "If there was only one thing you could eat everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be?" As unrealistic as the question was, I played along understanding his state of mind at the moment and knowing that I've made similar alcohol-influenced inquiries in the past myself. After a short pause I answered: "PB". Host: "PB? No way!" Me: "So what about you?" Host: "Pizza, I literally can eat pizza everyday without getting sick of it." Me: "Hmmm, not me. I seldom eat pizza. I prefer PB. I can eat two tablespoons a day and be happy. " (as my other friend nodded validating my response) As a self-proclaimed PB junkie, I was ecstatic when I found it a few years ago. Who'd of though a cafe, whose menu consists mostly of PB sandwiches, shakes and desserts would be able to sustain itself for so long? It's reassuring to know that there are enough PB junkies like me in NYC to keep a place like this afloat. Though some of their desserts appear to be over the top for my tastes, like the PB brownie blast (a concoction of PB brownies, ice cream, graham crackers, chocolate sauce and marshmallow cream), the sandwiches are what I prefer. I'll order a the PB with cherry/pear preserves on wheat with a side carrot sticks and I'm good to go. Most of the sandwiches on the menu are a variations of your standard PB&J, but are worth a try. In addition to creamy and crunchy PB, they also make their own dark chocolate PB and spiced PB. I haven't tried the latter, but it's on my "to try" list. Recently, the prices have increased, so expect to pay about $7 for a sandwich. Eek! PB&Co is perfect for the occasional treat or impulse snack on the go because, as everyone knows, anyone over the age of 5 is fully capable of making these at home at a fraction of the cost. Cost aside, you're there for the experience of dining in an establishment devoted to spreading the pure joy of this wonderful snack!

My boyfriend and I went here on a free "How About We" Couples date and loved this place! The shop is small, but comfortable and intimate. The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and provided table service even though it doesn't look like the place typically has wait staff. He greeted us as soon as we walked in and seemed intent on making our date very special. The date included a sandwich to share (peanut butter with strawberry jam and fluff cut in an adorable heart shape), which was delicious and surprisingly filling. Their sandwiches are huge. The menu looked so appetizing that we ended up ordering 2 additional sandwiches to take home (the Cookie Dough Surprise and Dark Chocolate Dream sandwiches) and both were excellent. The gentleman who worked there also let us sample all of the flavors we wanted before we chose which jars to take home and they put it in an adorable little tote bag. The whole evening was a lot of fun and something I'm looking forward to doing again!

Got "The Elvis". Consists of PB, bacon, banana, and honey. It was delicious: nycfoodpics.com/2011/07/â€¦ Although extremely tasty, this is the kind of sandwich I would only eat every once in a while. It was extremely rich.

I always find myself having to defend Peanut Butter & Company for the following reasons, which I admit are valid complaints: 1. Overpriced ($7+ for a PB&J?) 2. Unsupervised teenage workers (but let's have some sympathy--you know they're being paid the minimum wage) But for all you fellow peanut butter lovers out there who can't buy a jar without eating the entire thing in one sitting, this is a place of refuge and supreme indulgence. Many a night have I spent hunched over the Peanut Butter Cup sandwich (pb and Nutella on whole wheat, toasted until it's hot and melty), savoring every sweet, salty bite. Sure the side of potato chips is tiny, and the carrots may be old and dry, but that's not really what you came for is it? Quit shakin'. Get your fix.

I love peanut butter. Let me rephrase that, I love most peanut butter. I am so over the big name brands that throw sugar and cinnamon and unnecessary sweeteners in their extra chunky silky smooth imitations. Peanut Butter & Company offers the most delicious flavors of peanut butter (from White Chocolate Wonderful to Cinnamon Raisin Swirl) that are also healthy and contain usually no more than four all-natural ingredients. Their sandwiches are creative and their service is fast and efficient. It all comes together at PB & CO!

Emily S.

Update: I've now had the gorgeous and life-changing Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Sandwich. I have never eaten a sandwich more slowly in my life because I wanted it to last. Also, they've given me so many coupons now that I'll never use them all. Can't complain about that.

What happens when you put honey, peanut butter, and cinnamon on top of a bagel? Something I like to call "mouth orgasms". Mouth orgasms? Whats that? Its when you eat something so good that you can't help but say Omg thats good. OMG! OMG! Yes for 7 dollars, you can experience "mouth orgasms" yourself. They have so many different kind of peanut butter sandwiches. My favorite has to be the Jerry Seinfeld one, even though the Peanut Butter cup came close. The peanut butter is nice and thick and chunky, just the way mama likes it! Oh FYI, they can take off the crust if requested! How awesome is that? Also it comes along with couple of *dry*sticks of carrots and a bag of homemade potato chips *which i was not crazy about* Overall, It was great enjoyment for my mouth and belly but not so my wallet :( . But I will definitely be back for desserts!!

Blackberry Jam....smooth peanut butter, and bread toasted only on the outside.....This thing was freaking delicious, if I was six, had a glass of milk, and my mom let me watch cartoons, this place could be my heaven. But I'm not six, and after the acid flashback and general euphoria washed away, I realized I just spent $7 for a PB&J, with two cents worth of carrot sticks, and a bag of chips. Yeah its delicious, yeah it reminds me of elementary school, and yeah I will probably go back, preferably drunk.....but in the end its a 50 cent sandwich for 7 bucks....hence minus a star.

I had a 5-star sandwich with a 1-star side of customer service from the girl working the counter. I never thought it was possible for someone to be so rude when there was no stalling on my part, I knew exactly what I wanted, I spoke clearly --in English-- and gave her just enough cash so that my change consisted of a few coins. Usually I would have just walked out but I came all the way from Southern California to try THE ELVIS. In all honesty that horrible woman could have kicked me in the nuts and I still would have placed my order for the infamous peanut butter, banana and honey concoction. And yes, I went with the bacon option as well. I know I can make this sandwich at home (and I have on several occasions) but there is something special about going to a tiny shop in the heart of Greenwich Village to experience on of your favorite indulgences. Nastiness aside it was worth the trip.

We happened upon this place after NY had bit us in the arse...and it was like coming home to a big cozy blanket and a hug after a bad day. I have had the pleasure of sampling some PB&Co. flavours in store, but the shop was a wonder. Just having a wheelchair friendly entrance was a welcome sight (that is why we missed you, Sacred Chow). Then, upon entering, we discovered the vegan peanut brittle. Long time craving manifest in perfect peanut glory. We knew we would be staying for supper. My mum got the tuna melt, which she loved, but which meant I had to sit at the other end of the table from her so that the odor did not affect my peanut sampler platter (normally, I can handle the smell of fish...but tuna always ruins my PB buzz). A small container of each of their flavours, plus veg, fruit, and black bread (which I subbed for crackers, and which I highly recommend). I wanted to go for one of the more adventurous sandwiches (Like the Jerry Seinfeld or something similarly oddly dubbed), but the opportunity to sample everything got the better of me. It ended up being a bargain (around $8), and the peanut butter I took home was breakfast for the frest of the week! Such cute decor, nice service, and a welcome, relaxed atmosphere. Like they say, it is just like mum used to do...and then sit far away from you.

Unfortunately you can't give ZERO stars. This place has no respect for its customers. I watched a woman and her 5 year old son get kicked out tonight all because she was expressing her disappoinmentt with the store's seating policy...and she was still going to order food! They do not allow you to sit at a table an hour and half before they close because it's part of their "policy" to begin to shut down part of their seating area. Who starts cleaning their restaurant an hour and a half before closing when there are still paying customers coming in??? My gf and I were forced to take our food to go because of this. The staff member kicked out this woman because of her so-called attitude. I work in customer service and this woman had no attitude and no right to be kicked out. I've never seen anyone be treated with such disrespect as I witnessed here tonight. It is this staff member who deserves to be fired. I will never support this business again and I obviously will not encourage anyone to visit here. I can make just as good of a sandwich with my Skippy peanut butter at home.

Yummy!!!! The butter is still sticking to the roof of my mouth. I didnt know what to expect, but I went in and had a midday snack, and I have been hooked! Delicious treats, its great for any blues you are going through, as I easily forgot the world around me, and indulged in my "Elvis" sandwich. Word of advice make sure you have the water ready, because the peanut butter is thick... love it!

Heaven...I'm in heaven... I. Love. Peanut Butter. Therefore, one may find this review mildly biased. In my opinion there's really no way they could go wrong. Yeah, it may be a bit pricey for a peanut butter sandwich, but they get props in my book just for existing.

stefanie h.

i can't sleep. i'm so hungry, that i can't sleep. times like these would usually call for something like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich; something quick and just enough to give me the sustenance that i need to quiet those hunger pains, but won't put me over the edge that i feel disgusting the next morning. point being, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are usually a "desperate" type of food. i eat them just to survive because i really have nothing else. they do they job, but it's not like anyone ever plans to eat these things. so peanut butter & company has a whole business revolved around this concept; ok, that's fine, but what REALLY gets me is that they're charging $8 for a sandwich. holy-freakin-crap, are you serious? i eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because the cost per sandwich comes out to about, like, um, 5 cents? (ok, i admit, i didn't get the PB&J, i got the elvis, which has bananas and honey in lieu of jelly...but, hello, 4 bananas for $1 from the guy right around the corner...). taste-wise, it was fine...but really now, how badly could you mess up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? (or in this case, peanut butter & banana). i mean i know i'm desperate for food sometimes...but not this desperate.

Only in NY, and I mean that in the best possible way. I haven't been here in a year or so, the shop is super cute and the area is nice. The last time I was there I bought several jars of pb. What prompts this review now is I just finished the last of the jars I purchased. Specifically Cinnamon Raisin Swirl-peanut butter blended with cinnamon & raisins. So very yummy on cinnamon raisin toast! Looks like a trip to NY is in order, or I can always order on line. The Heat Is on - peanut butter blended with fiery spices is also pretty good. And, for all my bacon obsessed yelpers: The Elvis: A grilled peanut Butter sandwich, stuffed with bananas and honey. Try it with bacon for that extra indulgence. Long live the King!

Melissa M.

They run out of ingredients (I'm talking bananas, people,) for the stuff on their menu, so I had to change my order twice. The bread is dry, the carrots were practically white and shriveled they were so dry, the peanut butter is unremarkable and their potato chips taste strange. I never knew it took 10 minutes to make a peanut butter sandwich, either! I must be making it wrong ;) JIF is better peanut butter (choosy moms choose it!) And I'm sorry, but they overcharge for a damn pb sandwich ($7). I assume they're trying to be kitsch--it doesn't work.
(1)
Brian L.

If you make a peanut butter sandwich at home, it'll cost you roughly 32 and a half cents. So the real question here is this: does scrumptious homemade chocolate-flavored peanut butter make the lowly pb&j worthy of a $10 price tag? These are difficult financial times, and I think it's important that we're honest with each other. No. No, it is not worth $10, but that doesn't stop me going back - if my mom made a peanut butter sandwich like their "Cinnamon Raisin Swirl" I'd still be living at home: apples, cinnamon-raisin peanut butter, and vanilla cream cheese. So good.

This place is pretty good. I had the peanut butter cookie dough sandwich. Very filling, a bit too sweet for me, but still one of the best Peanut Butter sandwiches I've ever had. If you're in the Village looking for something nostalgic, stop here

Mike Y.

I initially gave it 3 stars but I'll give it 4-stars because it really is a unique idea but overall you are paying close to $8 for PBJ or fluffernutter sandwiches. Staff I thought was friendly and they have some cool souvenir items you can buy. I got the White Choc wonderful with Orange marmalade and almonds slices and I really enjoyed it. My wife got the fluffernutter and loved it! So I'll give it 4 stars to try for the fun factor but we'd probably only go back with a fellow peanut butter lover who hasnt been there before.
(4)
Laura Y.

5 stars for such a great idea, prime location, and duh-amazing peanut butter! I understand the complaints about the high price for peanut butter sandwiches, and if I didn't have a coupon for a free jar of peanut butter with the purchase of a sandwich, I doubt I would ever spend so much for a pb sandwich. The sandwich was gigantic, I'm a little embarassed to say what I ordered...ok it was peanut butter, vanilla cream cheese and chocolate chips, their "cookie dough" combination. It wasn't amazing, and I could only eat about half at a time since it was so rich. But kudos for creativity. For my free jar, I could choose any flavor I wanted, so I opted for the cinnamon raisin swirl. I bet it'll be great, but after that sandwich, I don't think I'll be able to stomach peanut butter for at least a few weeks.
(5)
Melissa W.

Let me preface this by stating the obvious: I love peanut butter. I tried their elvis sandwich...it was good, but not being a big fan of bacon, I need to probably go back and try something else...less bacon-y. I bought one of their sets of peanut butter and spread some of it on my bagel this morning and I have to say that they do have good peanut butter. This rating might be changing to a "5" after I try something else on the menu that I wasn't pressured into getting b/c my boyfriend wanted to split a sandwich "with meat in it!!"

I happened to be eating at the PB & Company while some tourists were on a food tour outside. Funny being part of their tour as they pressed their faces against the glass to take a peak inside. I got the classic PB&J. It was delicious, fairly large and came with chips and carrots, and worth the $5.42 I spent. Although really I think I could have made the same sandwich in my kitchen for about 70 cents. The PB was fresh and plentiful. The jelly was good, although next time I think I'll go for the jam. Although this is one of the only places of its kind, I don't find anything special about it. I was hoping to be able to sample the different kinds of PB or maybe put something different like cinnamon-swirl PB in my sandwich, but I had to stick to the menu. The service was good but comes without a smile. They do however offer old school bottles of Coke, which is cool. And you can buy a krazy straw for your milkshake for an extra quarter. I'm a huge PB fan...in fact...I eat it out of the jar with a spoon and probably have a couple spoonfuls a day. I prefer my spoon in jar PB... But cool SoHo 'thing to do' if you're looking for something different.

Robert M.

Hold on a second. A restaurant with just peanut butter and jelly on the menu? That's it? That's all? Just PB&J? Are they crazy? Yeah, crazy like a NON-CRAZY person! This place is genius! Just check out some of the hits on their killer menu: "White Chocolate Wonderful and Blueberry Preserves," "PB Cherry Cheesecake," the "Pina Colada" (PB, Pineapple Preserves, Marshmallow Fluff and Coconut), and lots more. Cute little place, nice & clean, plenty of seats. Just right for a quirky lunch or dinner. YUM to the 10th power, baby!

It's a bit overrated. I'm a huge fan of peanut butter so when I heard of this spot I was dying to go. The sandwiches are good but I feel like I can make most of their stuff at home and save myself some cash. It's a good spot, don't get me wrong, but I just don't see the hype- other than it being a store dedicated to one of the greatest sandwiches ever created.

Katherine C.

I have to admit that pretty much all the sandwiches here are things you could easily make at home. That being said, I still loved it. Who knew bacon and crunchy peanut butter could come together in such perfect harmony in a sandwich? I'll admit, when i first got it I was a little scared. Not only was there bacon, but lettuce and tomatoes too, pretty much a peanut butter BLT! Really though, there was no need to be scared...it was delicious...the crunchy PB was piled on thick just the way I like it...oozing out with each bite. This sandwich was also seriously huge, don't worry though, I showed it who's boss... My friends ordered the Elvis (fried peanut butter and banana sandwich) and the Nutella and PB. They were both pleased and satisfied as well. NOTE: Did you know that Elvis used to eat like 10 of those fried PB 'wiches in one sitting? That's why he's the king... If you're a peanut butter fan you should definitely come here. The sandwich/dessert combos are fun, delicious and filling. I should have got the Peanut Butter Brownie too though...FAIL.

I love peanut butter on a whole different level. I mean, literally, eat the whole jar, raw. Just a spoon. Especially Goobers. Thats when im really being a fat pig. You ever had it with ice cream? So f*ing amazing. When I heard about this store i was immediately intrigued. So I got a chance to go with a fellow pb lover and was so excited, as fat people do, when it comes to food. Once i saw the prices, my jaw dropped, but i was willing to try it out. So I ordered something crazy. It was bacon & pb. My friend got Nutela & pb. OMG, single-handedly, the biggest WASTE OF MONEY, in my life. It tasted like bacon & peanut butter. NO crazy, new flavor. It was actually kind of gross. Nutela & pb will taste good on anything, but for that price? Never Again! This whole place is a total gimmick. Your best bet is getting the recipes off of the net & making it your self. We spent around $30. I felt like an idiot. Thats a racket. This is Peanut Butter on Wonder bread, people. If i was a millionaire, i wouldn't do it again. However, i learned something very important, that day; everything doesn't go well with bacon. Im keeping it with pancakes, eggs, & syrup. Thats it.

I was predisposed to like Peanut Butter & Company before I walked into their store. My girlfriend and I had discovered their Smooth Operator and Dark Chocolate dreams about a year before and we were already hooked. PBC was running a special, which I hope they permanently continue, where you could make your own sandwich. This is how we did it: Her sandwich: Whole Wheat Bread, Dark Chocolate Dreams, Cherry Preserves and Almonds. My sandwich: Whole Wheat Bread, Dark Chocolate Dreams, Apricot Preserves, Chocolate Chips. Sandwiches came with carrot sticks and a bag of chips. We did not eat in but, the place was nice enough looking. For a moment it felt like I was in Iowa, as opposed to Manhattan. The staff was nice and patient (as it took me a while to decide just how much chocolate I wanted in my lunch). The regular menu has some really interesting offerings. I won't be there all the time but, I want to try some more of what they make. I am definitely a fan.

Disclaimer: I do not like the iconic foods that most American kids grew up loving, namely peanut butter, milk, carrots, and celery. However, my friend adores peanut butter so of course I was down when he mentioned going to Peanut Butter & Co. for his birthday. Luckily, I found out that not only do they have sandwiches options like grilled cheese that are sans peanut butter, they'll also tweak their peanut butter sandwich recipes for folks like me. Score! I was able to get them to change up their Elvis sandwich for me so I could order my boyfriend's family sandwich concoction. Whether you're a peanut butter traditionalist or going for something off the menu, all of their sandwiches are offered on the bread of your choice (white, wheat and vegan black bread; crusts optional) and served with carrot sticks and plain potato chips. The sandwiches are well, sandwiches. They're not overstuffed, but rather in keeping with the homemade feel these are two slices of bread with an average amount of filling. I'm not gonna argue about whether a straightforward sandwich merits a price tag over $7 because most fast food meals are over $7 nowadays and a PB&J sandwich with carrots and chips is a solid meal. I will say that I am a bit spoiled because I'm close to Spread in San Diego which has amazing peanut and almond butters and while I don't like peanut butter in general, I do like theirs. I don't think that Peanut Butter & Co could stand up to Spread's peanut butters (white chocolate pretzel, holla!). The selling point on this Peant Butter & Co. is its charm and the nostalgia which it evokes. The restaurant is lined with ads from the 1900s through the 1950s, the tables are tiny making you feel like you did when you were a kid sitting at mom's kitchen table, even the coloring of the linoleum feels like a throwback to your childhood, and what's more mom-like than carrot sticks with your meal? If I were a college student or just far from my parents place, I could totally see coming here on a crappy day when everything else wasn't going my way. Peanut Butter & Co. encapsulates that warm, cared-for feeling that I associate with home and puts it in a sandwich. For that reason alone I'm bumping this place up from two to three stars. Its not a destination that I'd go out of my way for, but if I was in the area and needed a pick-me-up, I might just stop by.

White chocolate peanut butter & raspberry jam...taste nothing different than any PB& J and for $7...should've gone for something else.

If you love peanut butter, you have to visit this place. The peanut butter sandwiches are delicious and come in a ton of varieties, but are expensive. I could buy a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread for almost as much as a meal would cost here. I had the cookie dough sandwich (wheat bread toasted with cream cheese, chocolate chips, and crunchy peanut butter). If you want a dessert-y sandwich, this is a delicious option! The novelty wears off quick and it'll get really crowded here, so come early.

Poor and rude counter service. Awful milkshake. Plus one for generous portions of PEANUT BUTTER. Dissatisfied overall.

I am embarrassed to admit I love this place! It has the the same effect on grown ups that the cotton candy dessert does at the Four Seasons. I grew up kind of poor and peanut butter was a staple in my white trash diet. Also you know it is good because I saw the kids who work here (looked like college students) in the back all eating peanut butter and giggling. If you are the boss and reading this don't hold this against them. This actually convinced me that it must be good! I talked my hubby into going here because he is not really a fan of peanut butter. He did not grow up eating it. He grew up in a Chinese restaurant cooking in the kitchen since he was 11 years old! I am so spoiled! Anyway I digress, we had the peanut butter BLT. It was the only one he thought he might like. Their peanut butter is rich and yummy. The sandwich was so rich we had to split it. The menu is almost like a dessert menu for the most part. I knew it would be good though I was intrigued by the flavor combinations. This is one of those places that I want to kick myself for not thinking of doing it myself first. 4 stars for being so unique. Of course since we live here we ordered take out since the store is so small.

Most def something to try at least once while you are in New York. You get to sit and enjoy almost anything with peanut butter. A good place to relax while drinking tea.

Crazy for Peanut Butter? Well, this is the place for you. I myself, am not particularly fond of the stuff. So why go to this place in the first place, you ask? Well, my friend was visiting and she likes to try new things and just can't help from trying every single place that has a "Zagat surveyed" sign in the front window, so as fate had it, in we went. Sad to say, I wasn't so impressed. I mean, can't you easily whip these sandwhiches up at home? I have to say though, they do have some interesting peanut butter combinations. Some being, peanut butter & pickles (yuck!) and peanut butter and bacon (what the...!). However, they did have one that struck my fancy, which was the Fluffernutter. Fluffernutter? Isn't that those people that do that thing with the thing...yes, I thought that too. But no, that's not what it was. It was basically peanut butter & their very own marshmallow fluff. Which was not bad at all. The price range was about $4-$8. Good place for a quick snack, and if you do want to make this stuff at home they package and sell most of the peanut butter flavors and marshmallow fluff there. Also, if you're too lazy to go there they do deliver, with a $10 minumum, depending on where you want it delivered.

I never got anything here because I always thought it was ridiculous to pay $6 for peanut butter jelly sandwich. However, my friend had a coupon which gave us two sandwiches and two drinks for free...so who can resist going especially if it's free? We got their PB&J of the week: Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter & Dulce de Leche, and their Peanut Butter Sampler. Overall, I think their PB is pretty good. Since we got a sampler, we got to try out all the different flavors of PB - normal, dark chocolate, white chocolate, hot, crunchy, and cinnamon raisin. The sampler came with carrots, celery, and some crackers. I enjoyed the cinnamon raisin in particular, but I think it's because I love raisins...their crunchy PB lacked some flavor (probably some salt?), but the rest were yummy. The PB&J of the week was really intense, so if you're ready to eat PB sweetness this is the sandwich for you. Overall, if you want a fun-take on peanut butter and the various combinations that can go with it, try this place out!

So we were in the mood of something sweet in the city. Amazingly we couldn't find a place to sit down and have coffee and something sweet and we came across this small place. I remembered seeing it on the food network so we went there. But we had a pie and brownie which were ok but the sandwiches on the menu sounded really tasty and different. So I may try it again since I wasn't to crazy about the brownie.

Delicious peanut buttery goodness! What's even better? My local Shop Rite sells some of their peanut butter and I'm pretty sure they keep the shelve stocked because they know I'm coming! My personal favorite is the cinnamon raisin flavor. I throw it on whole wheat bread & slice up a banana. Perfect lunch!

holy crap. delicious-ness that is Peanut Butter and marshmallow Fluff... this is a PB-lovers DREAM... they also have stuff you can buy and ship or take home for later... delish concoctions of PB.... TRY IT!!!! only cons: it is quite small and little hard to find if you don't know the area....

Brandice H.

Wow!. I had first heard about this place several summers ago from my friend Dave. He was vacationing in the NYC area from L.A. He heard about Peanut Butter & Co from Zagat. It took me 2.5 years to get myself here but I finally tasted the creamy goodness of Peanut Butter & Company. Inside it has a 50s/60s decor. I ordered the sandwich of the week, "dark chocolate (peanut butter) and dulce de leche (caramel) on whole wheat, I also bought a peanut butter brownie (perfect creamy-ness. Included with my Chocolate PB & C, I had a mini bag of potato chips. It was the best I have ever had. Afterwards I got great directions form the staff where the nearest Barnes and noble store was.

No doubt about it, I'm a peanut butter fan. Put it on anything and I'll devour it. I'd been looking forward to trying this place out, but for some reason it didn't quite do it for me. We ordered the Elvis (bacon, pb, honey, bananas) and the grilled chicken w/ pb and pineapple. How could something with bacon and pb not be good? It was tasty, but nothing mind-blowing. But the chicken sandwich was dry and pretty bleh, though the spicy peanut butter was very unique. The normal peanut butter, on the other hand, is no better than the natural peanut butter you can get from any grocery store nowadays (not Jif or Skippy, but the natural Smucker's, or even better, the ground peanuts at Whole Foods). I'd probably have rated this place higher if it weren't so expensive for what is is. The two peanut butter sandwiches, an underwhelming milk shake, and a glass of soy milk ran about 25$. I prefer the pb&js I make myself and eat while standing at the counter in my own kitchen.

The peanut butters are fantastic. The sandwiches are good, the milkshakes are ok. Do yourself a favor and get anything with the white chocolate peanut butter on it. I'm pretty sure that's what heaven tastes like.

Ahh, peanut butter factory and company. Everytime I visit NY, which isn't very often, I end up wanting to visit this little spot in the Village. I always buy the Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter, because holy crap - it's freakin' good! My friends just came back from NYC, and they know I love that stuff so much, they bought me a jar. The first time I went here was because my brother saw it on some tv show or something as one of those places to visit. I like it, I've had their sandwich there before. It's a bit overpriced for what you will get (c'mon - how much can you actually pay for a sandwich!), but it's for the experience and to check out the shop. It's pretty cool. I'm heading to NYC sometime within the next few months, and this is definitely on my list of places to come back to. =) check it out for yourself...

Delicious peanut butter in many different flavors white chocolate, chocolate, spicy, smooth, crunchy! The downside is that it's a bit on the pricey side. a regular pbj sandwich is going to run you over 5 bucks and for $5 you might at as well just buy the jar of peanut butter (in smooth operator and crunchy only). The location is also a little obscure and there's only 1 place. The stuff is good and healthy so if you don't mind spending more, it's a good place to go bc the peanut butter is yummy! :)

Its cute. Its well-done. Its tasty. Its interesting. But its expensive, because the rent is expensive. I had a spicy peanut butter and jelly sandwich with milk, which was served with a tiny bag of potato chips and 3 carrot sticks. The sandwich is large, and somewhat more filling than you'd think. Its also delicious, with a strong peanut flavor and an expertly proportioned pb/j ratio. There are a number of other peanut butter items on the sandwich board. Its a pretty place with nostalgic comfort food prepared thoughtfully. But I always leave feeling sad that I paid $7.50 for a PB&J and some milk.

Lou Ã‰.

What a cute little place! I'm not a big fan of peanut butter most of the time but they have a great and creative selection of peanut better sandwiches and a few other standards like Turkey. The atmosphere is really nice, and the staff were courteous and attentive. My girlfriend and I had a date from HowAboutWe so we didn't really get to pick what we got, but the peanut butter we took home was excellent. I think between GroupOn, LivingSocial, and HowAboutWe we've tried every flavor of peanut butter and they're all better than store brands.

For my first time here I really enjoyed the home like touches. The brown paper bag, the chips, carrots and even to the way the sandwich was cut in half. Great place to get that childhood PB&J school lunch feeling back.

Clap your hands if you believe in peanut butter! Come on, clap your hands...anyone?....ANYONE? Aww....thanks Elvis...you ARE the King! I remember on a way-way-back episode of "Saturday Night Live", there was a one-joke sketch where Bill Murray and Gilda Radner (I miss her) played a plaid-wearing couple who sold nothing but scotch tape in the Scotch Tape Boutique. Consider this the adjoining cafe. To be fair, they do serve other baby-boomer sandwiches like grilled cheese and baloney & cheese. But otherwise it's peanut butter. Nothing but peanut butter. The variations are mind-numbing like the $6 Pregnant Lady (yep, peanut butter and pickles) or the $6.50 Peanut Butter BLT (yep, peanut butter and bacon...mmmm, grease is the word). Their cheekiest selection has to be the $7 Elvis, a grilled peanut butter sandwich with sliced bananas and honey (bacon is optional). Having no desire to look like late-period Elvis (though it may be too late), I went for the $5 Lunchbox Special - chunky peanut butter and strawberry jam between two slices of white. It was actually served with two carrot sticks and a little bag of store-branded potato chips (see picture). Pretty basic. Even the bread had that day-old staleness that reminded me of when my mom would use wax paper to wrap my sandwiches before the days of Ziploc. I assume the chef (ok, maybe "preparer" is a better word) gets more excited when a gourmet item is ordered like a $7 concoction of spicy peanut butter and grilled chicken or a crudite plate with a sampling of all their peanut butters. They sell them by the jar, too...and of course, they have their store paraphernalia. You certainly can't fault the store for false advertising. FOOD - 3 stars...uh, it's peanut butter AMBIANCE - 3 stars...small, somewhat retro, not a hipster crowd here except maybe the server...and it draws the un-Village-like family units in droves SERVICE - 3 stars...how excited could the server possibly be serving PB&J's all day? TOTAL - 3 stars....a niche place...try it for what's it worth if you want to relive your memories of the school bully stealing your lunch not even leaving you the pink Hostess snowball you had been waiting to eat all day especially when Miss Roney made you stand in the corner for making fun of her flabby arms behind her back ...uh, not that I would know

I used to love this place but the last few visits left me disappointed. Tonight was the last straw. Effin way too lazy for a Friday night. Something wrong with the guy working the couter. White guy with a ponytail. He had food on his face and handled money and food with his bare hands. The sandwich was supposed to be fried and it was room temp. WTF. Way too many places to eat in the city. Last time ill go to PB&C.

A whole restaurant that specializes in peanut butter sandwiches? Well color me intrigued. This place is pretty close to NYU so I can see a lot of college kids stopping by for a meal. My friend and I swung by for lunch. There was only two other groups here - a mom with her two kids and a group of 4 adults arguing about what to try. See it's appealing to all types of people. We took a minute to decide. I got the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl sandwich, toasted and my friend had the Elvis. Food took a little while to come out. During our wait, the guy at the cash register would entertain us by bursting out into song randomly. The food was delivered and came out cut into two triangles on a plate with a bag of chips and celery/carrot sticks. What a perfectly balanced meal. There's also a nostalgia factor in that this is what most little kids have in their lunch boxes when they're little. Except the sandwiches are a bit fancier. My cinnamon sandwich had apple slices, cream cheese, raisins, peanut butter and cinnamon. I thought it be a sensory overload but everything I found really balanced and the flavors went well together. Mmmm, I def thought it was a pretty filling meal too - even found it difficult to eat the last few bites - so full. I wish I tried my friend's Elvis with bacon but she devoured it. Next time...

Peanut Butter BLT and the Jerry Seinfeld. I was in heaven. I go there every chance I get. Also try their dessert - You will thank me later! (Peanut Butter Brownie Sundae & you are welcome!) You can also ask for samples from their many choices of peanut butter flavors. It is a small place, with just a handful of small tables. Expect a long wait for large orders if you are in a group. It is a good place to go if you order ahead of time, or are with a maximum of three other people if you plan to eat there. The lunch time fight for tables can be tricky. It is well worth the visit.

Used my Groupon for 4 of their jar's of PB's. The place was very busy and they were out of their most popular Dark Chocolate Dreams PB, but that didn't stop me from getting the Maple, Spicy, Smooth and classic Old-Fashioned PB jars. So far, so good! Nothing tastes quite like fresh made PB. It's got a really nice taste, quite different from the supermarket brands. I only go through one jar at a time and now I'm on "The Heat Is On" spicy PB. WOW! What a kick! It's not for the faint of heart. You better have a glass of milk nearby to put out the fire in your mouth. I'm pretty sure I'm hooked on this flavor. I'm even getting some ideas on how to incorporate this with some recipes. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors. I wish I would've had a bite to eat from the store to review their food. There's always next time.

I eat here often. I crave the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl sandwich all the time, the Elvis is great even without the bacon (get it with if you /can/ eat bacon), and their bagel sandwiches are just yum. The brownie sundae is unbelievable. The shakes are good too, as are the egg creams. And their staff is great, across the board.

I absolutely ADORE this place! Peanut Butter & Co is the epitome of a down to earth, home-y restaurant. As soon as I walked in, I felt as if I had just stepped into my mom's kitchen. They have a really creative variety of peanut butter sandwiches, platters, and drinks. I ordered the Bagel Nosh - a toasted bagel with vanilla cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and strawberry jelly -and was delighted by my choice! My friends ordered the Elvis Sandwich- grilled bread, peanut butter, bananas, and honey -and they RAVED about the combination! My only critique is that the restaurant is very small, so my party was not able to sit all together. Great find and fairly priced! I will definitely be returning soon. MMM MMM MMM

This place is so fun. I think I am more attracted to the novelty of it than the food itself, but I do enjoy the sandwiches. I got the Elivs which was delicious and unique! I loved how the sandwich was grilled. It also had bacon on it which is a huge plus. There are so many sandwiches to choose from, and I can't wait to try a different one of their creations. The jars of peanut butter are really good as well and make great gifts for people! I have only tried the White Chocolate Wonderful, but it is pretty wonderful. To sum it up, I was on the border of giving either three or four stars, but the concept and the delicious jars of peanut butter boosted my decision to a four star one.

I wandered in here after seeing this place on a food network special. I love peanut butter, so I ordered a fluff&pb sandwich. It was tasty- I mean how could you screw that up? They also send you with carrot sticks and potato chips, mimicking a school lunch. It's probably the most expensive peanut butter sandwich I've eaten, but it hit the spot.

I first found out about Peanut Butter and Co when my boyfriend let me try some of Dark Chocolate Dreams he owned. I died and went to a heaven where you were served endless of ooey gooey peanut butter on everything. I was so excited that they had a sandwich shop in the Village and set out a date with my guy to go there and try out their stuff. I read yelp reviews and thus getting there ordered the Elvis and the Peanut Butter Parfait. It was terrible. The sandwich was dry. I could have put something together better than this. The parfait was a disaster. There were no bananas the granola was not sweet at all. It was basically yogurt and tree bark. The only thing that was good was the peanut butter itself in the sandwich. McDonalds has a better parfait for only a dollar. And to top it off, I know this is the city, but the quality did NOT make the pricing worth while. I still love the peanut butter itself and will continue to obsess over it. If I was rating the peanut butter I would give it 5 stores no problem, however this review is for the store and my experience there! Continue to get their peanut butter! It is amazing!

Love the idea of this place! The peanut butter, banana and honey, grilled is the best! Fun place to get a sandwich and sit out in the sun in Washington Sq park! Def will be going back to try the shakes!Yum! Only reason I'm doing 4 and not 5 stars is the PB & fluff was nothing special, the bread was kind of dry.

As a PB lover, this is like mecca for me! Went to PB&Co after missing it my 1st time in NY, and drug my friend with. We got some delicious sammies in the shop and grabbed a jar to go. The original PB was so creamy that I wondered if I would ever be able to chew and swallow...thank God for the milk they bring you. You truly feel like you're back in school when you get the plate...the sandwiches are on Wonder Bread and have crinkle cut chips & carrot sticks. HAHA! It's limited seating inside is both a pro and con. The staff looked a bit bored when we were there. Ha. Not sure if it's from the lunch rush or what, but having some energy would be nice. (Maybe it's a NY thing?) I'm planning a trip with my mom for her birthday, and we'll be going back. Can't wait to take her.

Peanut, peanut butter and jelly. Okay you know the rest of the song. Who knew I fly all the way to New York take a couple of subway stops and walk a few blocks to pick up Peanut Butter. While walking through the New York neighborhood Greenwich, in a middle of this pretty swanky neighborhood is this out of place store. Trust me you will spot it a mile a way. It just doesn't seem to match the neighborhood. Now I was expecting a mecca of Peanut Butter, since we come all this way. It actually just reminds me of a 50's malt shop. Its a small store with a bunch of a tables, a counter and in the corner of this shop is jars of peanut butter. I must admit yes the peanut butter is pretty cool. You got double chocolate, cinnamon and raisin, bees knees, spicy hot, white chocolate and creamy butter. Yes the peanut butter was good, well for $5 a jar I guess it better be good right. Now you can buy a jar of peanut butter for $5 or a already prepared packet of 6 jars for less than $30. However don't mix your own because they get pretty mad if you do. When we brought a pack up to the counter, they rudely told us this is not the prepacked jars and will cost more. I wanted to tell them take a look at your prepacked packets, people have already made their own combos. Don't know why you can't choose your pack of 6, basically they try and sell you their not so popular jars. So happy of the peanut butter, not happy of the location and service. You would think a place with peanut butter would be a happy place. Trust me those guys didn't look happy at all. Looked at the menu and wow $7 for a peanut butter sandwich. Not for me! SPOILER ALERT: 1) There is a better peanut butter company in Minnesota which sells a lot more choices. These guys in Minnesota make peanut butter and banana. Yum! 2) Also we get back home and we find they sell the same peanut butter on Amazon for a lot cheaper with free shipping. Not cool man!

I came in expecting this place to blow my mind, but it turns out to be just an average sandwich. I ordered the Elvis which is the toasted PB and banana with bacon. The place was small and I didn't know where to stand without being in their way, so I had to awkwardly stand next to someone's table. The first bite of the sandwich was good, then bites and bites after I started getting full. I was full before I was done with half, the celery pushed me through only a few more bites of the second half. Overall, it's a cute and decent place for kids but the price was just ridiculous. I paid $10 for a sandwich I can make at home in not longer than 10 minutes. If they gave me a drink then that would of be alright but $10 for a sandwich? Not worth it.

growing up, i was a huge fan of peanut butter. every day from kindergarten through high school i ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. i didn't much care for peanut butter alone, but paired with jelly, it was the perfect treat. sometime towards the end of high school my love affair shifted to chocolate, and i think some traumatic experience involving someone attempting to coerce me to combine peanut butter with chocolate occurred, and this is all fuzzy and repressed, and i didn't touch the stuff for years. over a decade, really. as obsessed as i am with chocolate, my sweetie burns the same flame for Peanut Butter. so as a birthday request, we visited PB&Co for some birthday sandwiches. i opted for the bacon elvis with Maple, and my sweetie for the fluffernutter with honey. since we got the gluten free bread, we each got two sandwiches! so we traded one for one. to say i dream about my elvis daily is an understatement. i've considered many a repeat visit since inhaling my delicious, crispy, slightly buttery, bacony, sweet gooey delicious sandwich from heaven. the fluffernutter needed some raspberry jam to make it perfect. the sandwiches were great, really big, tasty, and they made us happy. i'm deducting one star because we also ordered dessert. the sundae we requested read like a superstar, but when it was delivered we were unimpressed. the shop had run out of ice cream flavors so we were stuck with strawberry, which wouldn't've been so terrible, had the cap'n crunch cereal actually been part of the sundae. it was missing, sadly. the rest of the sundae was pretty forgettable. i still owe my sweetie a proper birthday sweet. the server was impeccable, and i need to mention him because he was so accommodating to our special requests, and even sang a newly-written PB&Co birthday song when he brought out the sundae. he was adorable and i hope he is cast in a broadway musical and becomes really famous because he deserves it. i'm contemplating whether to return for my birthday because that elvis was so damn delicious. i probably will. and if i don't, i'll return just for the hell of it.

My friends were visiting from out of town and they had heard rumors of how amazing Peanut Butter & Co is so I took them by. I've sampled the regular peanut butter before but I hadn't tried their more exotic flavors. We each ordered a sandwich, I had mine with marshmallow fluff, and dug right in. Absolutely fantastic. I fell madly in love with their amazing Maple flavored peanut butter. I may have ordered a case of it...

PB&Co. is about as simple as you can get as far as restaurants are concerned in NYC. Simple and a tad country. BUT...I love it! I love everything about it. It is easy, inexpensive and just plain fun. Every type of PB sandwich you can think of has been made here. And, it is like taking a trip down memory lane like when mom handed you your sack lunch and you just couldn't wait for your pb&j at lunch time at school. My favorite creation is The Elvis (A grilled peanut Butter sandwich, stuffed with bananas and honey) with a side of marshmallow fluff. Each sandwich comes fully equipped with ruffled potato chips and carrots. At first thought I was turned off by the sides (still am by the carrots), but once I dipped my chips into my side of FLUFF I was convinced that those chips were the best thing to side by sandwich. If you want a simple PB concocted sandie - head to PB&Co.!!!

3.5 stars Good service, awesome menu/concept, good homemade quality. They also have their own peanut butter company and make 8 different flavors which are very good (especially the cinnamon peanut butter). My only issue (besides the chips that I had today were stale) are the prices. It's very expensive for what it is. The Elvis (Peanut butter, banana, honey, bacon) was $8.50! By the way the flavors of the peanuts and banana are too strong to even pick up on any of the smokiness of the bacon but it was a good idea and texture mix. Most of their simple peanut butter sandwiches are $6.25-$7.50. A toasted bagel with peanut butter with a little honey and cinnamon is $6.50 a.k.a outrageous. If you wanted a simple bare-bones pb&j you'll be paying $5 for this sandwich that costs merely pocket change to make. If they found a way to charge $3 for pb&j and $4-6 for everything else then I'd be in line to give them 5 stars and a repeat visit but as it stands I'm glad I tried it but I won't be going back anytime soon for one of the only things I don't mind making for myself at home.

I mean, yes, it's expensive. But it's not like you expected a pb&j - and the gourmet sandwiches, at that - from a storefront to be cheap? In NYC no less! I went around 5pm - I guess I avoided all the lines - for an early dinner. The store has a lot of character, and the staff were really friendly and quick. I got the White Chocolate Wonderful, which was quite tasty: white chocolate peanut butter, almonds, and orange marmalade. The orange marmalade was a bit strong, but I liked the flavors all together. My boyfriend got the peanut butter cup - peanut butter and nutella. It pretty much tasted like how you'd expect it to taste. We got a chocolate shake with banana and peanut butter; it was the smoothest milkshake I ever had, but the three flavors were all very evident. I like the menu - not all pb! - and the childhood feel of the restaurant. Ok, but I had to dock it a star because a 2 pb sandwiches and a shake cost just under $20. Go for a special treat!

Peanut butter sandwich stop? What?! Let me find this place. I had a 50% off coupon (thank you foursquare) so I got some low fat milk and a white chocolate wonderful on wheat. All sandwiches come with potato chips and carrot sticks. My sandwich consisted of white chocolate peanut butter, orange marmalade, and sliced almonds. I gotta say; I expected more peanut butter! Maybe it's the way I make it at home but I usually cake it with peanut butter and put very little jam. The marmalade was practically squishing out of it. HOWEVER. From what I tasted of the peanut butter it was super yummy. I would definitely buy a jar. And the sandwich guy was nice. I'll give this place another go despite my 1st experience. The Elvis is calling my name...

More like 3.5 stars. I bought their 6-pack of PB for $30, which included Smooth Operator, The Heat is On, Mighty Maple, Cinnamon Swirl, and two others I forget. I was sneaky and ninja'd the Mighty Maple switiching the Crunchy out of the box which is $6 as opposed to $5 for the Crunchy. The Heat is On has a very unique taste. It's not bad for having actual cayenne peppers, and crushed red peppers but it's not something you'd want to spread on bread. Pershaps some crackers - small doses. Mighty Maple is uber yummy. I can lick it off... wait. Gotta keep this PG-13. Smooth Operator (and the crunchy) kind of scares me with how much oil is on top of the PB. It's normal I know, but it's close to 1" thick. I was planning to simply pour it out to perhaps save me some fatty calories however it's necessary as when my knife went into the PB, it was really thick. Which is great since it's all natural I guess.

Ok I'm cheating a little because I did not actually eat here, just bought the PB. The prices are reasonable ($5-$6) and there was a B2G1 free special. 3 for $12? Sold. I picked up Cinnamon Raisin, Dark Chocolate, and Old Fashioned Creamy. The Cinnamon is a little gritty but has decent flavor, I'll find something to do with it. Dark Chocolate is pretty delicious, more chocolate than pb flavor but it's so smooth and naughty. Old Fashioned Creamy.. well, creamy was fresh my friend. Creamy says right on it that the oil may separate and separate it did! Stir, stir, stir, stir, (rest hand) stir, stir, stir, (keep going, it's worth it) stir, stir, stir.. until it's peanut butter again. That first bite was what natural peanut butter is all about.. fresh peanut flavor, sticks to the roof of your mouth, makes your eyes roll kinda good. My husband is out right now buying this preggo some bread, bananas, fluff, and celery. Hope I have jelly, crap! **Here's an add, the Cinnamon Raisin turned out to be my husband's favorite and it was half gone in a day! I'm eating it now on celery and it is soooo good.**

Just average. The gentleman taking or order interrupted us to make it a point that we needed to throw away my half filled coop of coffee that was on my table. I had no issue it was the way it was said that was questionable and the food sandwiches failed to impress.

Peter B.

Cool concept, but I think the execution is where they falter. I love peanut butter as much as the next guy, but its too much on some of these sandwiches. The peanut butter selection however is pretty good for you to buy and take home. been here a few times, once the novelty wears off no reason to go back. Try it at least once though.

I have been wanting to eat at Peanut Butter & Co since I moved to Manhattan! I finally got dinner there today, and the food definitely lived up to my expectations. I was a bit surprised to discover that this is just a small place! With how much everyone talks about it I was picturing a big restaurant. There is probably only enough seating for about 20 people total. Nonetheless, you order at the counter and then your food will be delivered to you. I got the Jerry Seinfeld -- a bagel with peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon. I chose chunky peanut butter, but you can also opt for smooth or pay 50Â¢ more for a flavor. It came with some carrots and chips, and was absolutely delicious. It was a bit messy, but totally worth it. I also got a chocolate milkshake, and that was great as well. Last but not least, I want to mention the great service! The guy working was super friendly and sweet, and was blasting the funnest music ever from his iPod. I'm talking old school Madonna with some Macklemore thrown in, people. Just a fun time overall!

A cute place with a nice atmosphere. But where they excel in cuteness and novelty, they lack in service. We got the peanut butter sampler's platter for $8. It came with 8 small (3-4 oz?) cups of different peanut butter flavors, as well as carrot, celery, and apple slices, and a few saltine crackers. I also got a cappuccino, which was poorly made, and had no foam. We enjoyed our peanut butter platter, but quickly ran out of dippers, and there was much more peanut butter left. We asked politely for a few more crackers (since the platter only came with a few), and were refused, very impolitely, with a lot of attitude. We ended up having to buy our own crackers and veggies from a nearby corner store so we could enjoy the rest our peanut butter. In short, good peanut butter, but bad cappuccino, and rude staff.

Tracy S.

Drippy peanut butter that somehow managed to make the sandwiches messy and dry tasting at the same time, dirty tables and a bathroom the staff claimed was "out of order" to us, but let other customers use. I'd rather make em at home and save the humiliation of paying $40 for peanut butter sandwiches. Yuck.

Awesome peanut butter sandwiches! I had the peanut butter and bananas and honey. It was simple and delish! Something you can easily make at home! :)

Peanut Butter & Co, you've done me wrong. As an avid peanut butter lover, I was so excited about my $8 mighty maple sandwich. I envisioned thick, awesome, crusty bread full of tasty peanut butter and bacon bits. I mean, you are charging me eight bucks for a peanut butter sandwich. It better be amazing. Amazing it was not. My sandwich consisted of UNTOASTED, thin, grocery store bread with two thin strips of bacon. I totally could have made that myself. Except better. You don't deserve my affections, PB&CO. You don't deserve them at all.

Chocolate-chip cookie was fair, and the peanut butter cookie wasn't half-bad, but I wouldn't venture out of my way for another cookie.

Very unique and fun place! A bit expensive for penut butter on bread and it's nothing you can't make at home but you really pay for the experience of going someplace that has a menu full of penut butter options. I love the traditional old school style that makes you feel like everything is homemade (maybe it is!). It's great to have something creative and different in the area!

Pamela R.

I'm not pregnant, but if I ever am, I will make my husband get me the PREGNANT LADY sandwich (crispy peanut butter and pickles on wheat) every single day. It's that good. I started to make them at home now because I am pretty obsessed. My husband got a chicken sandwich and raved about it all during lunch. The shop is small, but at 3PM we had no problem getting a open table. A bit sad they were out of brownies but we lived. Also a bit sad I bought a bottle of water then realized they had free tap water, darn. Pricey for a peanut butter sandwich? Sure. But it's a great little place that feels cozy.

Christina P.

I never thought I'd be happy to pay $7 for a peanut butter sandwich! But I will totally go back and do it again! And again! If you're not a big peanut butter freak like I am, the prices may not be worth it for you. Nothing takes me back to my childhood like having someone else make me a peanut butter sandwich, wrap it up neatly in aluminum foil, and stick it in a brown bag with carrot sticks and chips. The peanut butter w/ vanilla cream cheese and chocolate chip sandwich was awesome! I'd like to go back for the Elvis. Don't bother buying the jars of peanut butter in store bc they are $1 cheaper at Stop n Shop. That said, try the cinnamon raisin or the honey flavors! The dark chocolate is ok, but doesn't really taste chocolatey enough for me.

I first discovered PB & Co when I was 16 sitting at home watching Food Network, and I had to check it out immediately. It was basically love at first sight - all of the flavored peanut butters (which they sell in the shop & in a lot of grocery stores) are sooo great, and the sandwiches are all super creative. My favorites over the last 9 years (JEEZ!) have been The Elvis (peanut butter, bananas, honey) and the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Sandwich (cinnamon raisin peanut butter, vanilla cream cheese, and apple slices) - SO GREAT!! This cute little shop is definitely a PB lover's dream... and the nightmare of anyone with a peanut allergy, ha!

Danielle F.

Peanut butter heaven. A must visit for any peanut butter fan! We ordered the Elvis and the sampler so we could try a couple things. My favorites were the cinnamon raisin and the maple. The food was delicious and they have something g for everyone. Such a cute little shop.

My mom had been DYING to come to this spot for the longest. We tried on numerous events to make plans to go but things kept getting in the way (weather, sickness, work, school). We finally made our way out here and boy we were both let down! This place is just so blah and mediocre. I can't understand how this business remains standing. It's a tiny, yet bright, cafe- style eatery that makes different kinds of peanut butter sandwiches. We split the cookie dough sandwich which cost $6.75. It consisted of smooth Peanut butter (chunky is NOT the way to go ), vanilla cream cheese, and chocolate chips on white bread. It was good; half decent...little mad it didn't taste like cookie dough because the menu's description had me convinced other wise, but oh well. They do also offer a few other types of lunch sandwiches like tuna or turkey, and some desserts as well, but since we came specifically for the unique peanut butter sandwiches that's what we stuck to. The one good thing about Peanut Butter & Co is that they have a water spout and plastic cups so you don't have to keep asking for a cup of water If your too cheap to splurge and buy a water bottle (which I'm not), and believe me that's the least they can do at $7 a pop for your basic sandwich. But besides water bottles me and my mom thought we would be fat and get egg creams. For the many of you who will read this and not know what an egg cream is, I can assure you it has nothing to do with eggs (I think it did back in the day). An egg cream is a mixture of chocolate syrup, milk, ans seltzer. If its made right it tastes wonderful, and if its made wrong its probably because you came here and ordered one. This egg cream was weak, not sweet, and lacked the rich flavor my taste buds were craving to taste from this $3.75 drink. The thing that's also weird is that they provide take out menus with all their different types of sandwiches.....so I can just go home and make my own exactly the way I would buy it at $7 in the west village. Strange. And they also sell they're peanut butter in some supermarkets! I guess this place is convenient for the obsessed pbj junkie who resides/ works in Manhattan, but even so anyone who claims it easier to just come and have a sandwhich made is lazy and probablyndoesnt know the value of a hard earned buck. I'm telling you, coming here from another borough just isn't worth it no matter which way you look at it! I don't want to end off on a negative note because the place doesn't completely suck, but it is a waste of time and money, so lastly I will let you know that with every sandwich you get a bag of potato chips....but don't run too fast; the bag is mighty minuscule!

Sandwich was ok. We weren't expecting much. Mr fabulous with the pink hair was rude to my wife after she politely informed him that there was no bacon in her sandwich. He told her he wouldn't make her the correct sandwich because she had already taken a bite out of it. I stepped in and took care of the situation. I don't expect his personality to match his fabulous hair but I do expect him to the be polite

It's everything I hoped it would be. The Elvis was fantastic, globbed with PB, banana, honey and bacon. Sure you could make it at home for cheaper than $8 bucks but hey!

New York City is full of specialty restaurants with menus revolving around one ingredient - Greek yogurt at the Chobani store, rice pudding at Rice to Riches and mac and cheese at S'mac. Specializing in one of my favorite foods, is Peanut Butter & Co. Atmosphere The Peanut Butter & Co. restaurant is small. The place is one room made up of ten tables, seating about 20 people. A counter lines the left hand side of the room where diners line up to order from the exhaustive list of peanut butter combinations. Once an order is placed, you can find a seat while you wait for your food to be made and brought to your table. Food My peanut butter selection for lunch was: Jerry Seinfeld's Comedy Special: our most famous customer shared his favorite peanut butter sandwich in the foreword he wrote for The Peanut Butter & Co. Cookbook, and here it is for you to try - a sliced, toasted bagel topped with peanut butter, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. Yum! The cinnamon and honey livened up the peanut butter a little bit. However, this was exactly what I expected - peanut butter on a bagel. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but you can only do so much to peanut butter on a bagel. I think this is the case across the board. Some of these sandwiches are creative, but in the end, you're getting a peanut butter sandwich, something you could make in your kitchen. Service The Peanut Butter & Co. restaurant is pretty much self-serve. You order at the counter and seat yourself. It did take a while to get the food but it was very busy so I can give them some leniency here. Value This is a unique restaurant that capitalizes on everyone's love of peanut butter. But, when it comes down to it, the prices for the sandwiches (around $6-$9) are a little extravagant for peanut butter on bread, even if you throw some bananas on it. The Verdict Peanut Butter and Co. is a very unique and creative restaurant. I'm a huge fan of any and all things peanut butter so it didn't take a lot to convince me to come here. That being said, I'm not breaking down the door to come back. Unlike other specialty restaurants, Peanut Butter & Co. serves something anyone can easily make. This is unlike a place like S'mac, where I don't see many people quickly whipping up a dish of Mediterranean mac and cheese (a delicious option for those that haven't tried it). Bring your tourist friends, but promise yourself to only visit once.

When I was a kid, my mom would take me to the beach. And I was a picky eater - I only wanted PB&J most days. Something about a PB&J comforts me - it brings me back to those days at the beach, and I'd eat the squishy PB&J sandwiches my mom made me. I was walking in the village and had a hankering for one...lo and behold, there was Peanut Butter & Co! I opted for the lunch box, which is your basic PB&J (I opted for grape, of course, because why not), but I got crunchy PB. You can get all kinds of PB like their dark chocolate(WTF!???!), or even smooth. Crunchy all the way. You also get a nifty little snack of chips and carrot sticks. I was a little put off because some family from like Germany came in and totally ruined the flow. But I wanted my PB&J badly. So then the guy took my order, it was about less than 5 minutes later, I walked out with my PB&J brown bag. It was huge and well worth the $5. You can also get Fluffernutters and Elvis type sandwiches. This place rocks.

Who knew peanut butter come in such variety? We stopped by this quaint little shop on our day of food snacking. The workers were so friendly and patient as I debated what to order. I decided on the peanut butter sampler to share which was a good thing because I didn't expect as much as they'd given us: 8 different flavors plus carrot and celery sticks and melba toast to try it with. It was a lot of fun trying each flavor with the veggies & toast & just out of the spoon. We ranked them in order of which ones we liked most. I don't remember the order anymore but I know Bee's Knees was my favorite and the White Chocolate Wonderful and the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl were a close second. I had wanted to get a sandwich but was peanut butter-ed out. But the workers were happy to give me a sample of what I wanted, a little spoonful of the Fluffernutter which I am obsessed with! Next time, I'll have to get the sandwich version!

I can't remember the last time I had a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich. It was the ULTIMATE sandwich to take to school. While in your Sack-Lunch, the Peanut Butter and the Jelly would congeal together into a gooey masterpiece. Can you imagine eating an egg-salad or tuna sandwich after it has been in a lunchbox all day -- riding the hot school bus and not being in the refrigerator. PB&Jelly on the other hand only got better the longer it was in your backpack. We ordered the Fluffernutter with chunky Peanut Butter and the Peanut Butter Cup (Nutella with white chocolate Peanut Butter. Both Sandwiches were beyond brilliant.

I live in western PA, but my fiance and I travel to NYC at least 10 times a year. Every time we come to the city, right before we leave... I insist on going to this place to get my Elvis sandwich and a glass of milk for the road. I don't get it grilled though, it doesn't taste good once it cools. I love the little lunch, it makes me happy. Anyway, my only complaint would be that sometimes the girl behind the counter seems annoyed with life. Working in a place like that, you end up with a lot of children in there. So, why be a dick?

My boyfriend and I went on a date here through "HowAboutWe." The date included two drinks (coffee, water), two little sandwiches (we were given the rocky road which was dark chocolate peanut butter with marshmallow fluff and sliced almonds), and two peanut butter jars of our choice. The sandwich reminded me of a nutella/fluff sandwich that you might have had as a kid. The guy working there was nice enough to give us a sample plate with all the different flavors of peanut butter so we could decide on which jar to take home. We came on a Sunday around 3:00pm and it was pretty full in there. This place is really a peanut butter lover's heaven and I would recommend to anyone who truly loves peanut butter.

I just stepped into peanut butter heaven. Walked into this small shop and was welcomed with a great peanut butter smell. This cute Shop on Sullivan St. In the village is a peanut butters dream. Had the dark chocolate pb on whole wheat. It was so good I had to have another. Tried the pb with fluff, you remember that from your childhood years. Gooey white marshmallow between putter on whole wheat . Oh so good. Had the pb smoothie also, but I have had better one at other smoothie places. Can't wait to go back and try the other unique sandwiches. The Elvis is next.

My aunt and uncle have been going to Peanut Butter & Co. since I was a little kid and I FINALLY went for lunch the other day. How did it take me this long? So good. I got the s'mores sandwich (exactly how it sounds) and it was really good. Definitely going back to try other creations. Nice little place to eat, but I took my food to Washington Square Park, which is super close. The cashier was super friendly too.

3 stars for originality. Cool idea but PB&J sandwiches were really only meant to be PB&J. I also don't feel comfortable spending more than $3 for this type of sandwich. It was a fun try but not really that great. I would not come here again.

Kayla G.

The food is a tad overpriced for peanut butter sandwiches, but overall it is delicious. I had the cinnamon raisin swirl, with vanilla cream cheese and apple slices. That being said, I don't know if I went when the staff member was having a bad day, but he was extremely rude and unhelpful. He seemed annoyed that people were coming in, and kept whispering complaints under his breath. It made what was an enjoyable lunch, into a frustrating one.

Peanut butter heaven. There are all sorts of peanut butter products to: - to try - to take home - to eat there in concoctions Elvis would be proud of Organic and fresh!!!! Definitely come if you like or love peanut butter. Venue has seating to eat. It's a casual and reminds me of your grandma's breakfast table.

David S.

In general, the place is "alright". If you love peanut butter, you will most definitely enjoy this place. But be wary, if the line is longer than a total of 3 customers, you will be waiting for awhile. The day I went, they also ran out of white bread.
(3)
Amanda K.

I've seen their peanut butter in stores so I thought I'd check it out. The store/restaurant was retro but cozy. I couldn't decide what to order so I went with the peanut butter sampler. My friend their "Heat is On" sandwich. Neither of us were very impressed. I got a stomachs ache after eating so much peanut butter and they charged me for extra dippers (e.g. Carrot sticks)! I did like their Bee's Knees peanut butter and might go back to buy a jar!

Logan M.

Went here for lunch on a recent trip to the city with my sister and best friend. We love peanut butter so this seemed like the dream location for lunch. Very, very small restaurant and it was cramped. The man working the counter didn't acknowledge us for a good five minutes even though we stood right in front of the cash register which was a little strange. He was fulfilling orders but just a quick "I'll be right with you" would have been nice. The sandwiches were good, though. Bigger than usual sandwich bread with oozy peanut butter (and fluff and Nutella). Order came up quickly which we appreciated. Also really enjoyed the Disney and musical soundtracks that played in the restaurant.

4 years after I discovered their product on the shelves of mollie stones, I can finally say I've set foot inside the brick & mortar that houses Peanut Butter and Company. The menu is overwhelming with choices, but I stuck to an oldie, but definite goodie: the fluffer nutter. I don't know what kind of white bread they use, but their slices are humongous. Cute that the sandwiches are served with PB&Co's signature bag of regular potato chips. I felt like I was in elementary school again. He got the elvis...I think it was a little too much, but you have to go for it!!! Love that you can choose your peanut butter; i'm partial to white chocolate wonderful (eat that stuff almost everyday.) There's a sandwich I'd like to try that give you nine tastes in nine bites...three spreads on one slice, three spreads on the second slice, lay it so the flavors mismatch (confused or hungry yet?) & voila! Nine distinct bites! On my to-do list. Go, go, go!

Desiree D.

I am so torn. I feel this place is over-rated. i love the idea and the product, but i just wasnt that impressed. The "pregnant lady", was skimp on the pickles. what small amount of pickles i bit into, were great. i love the juice dripping down into the sandwhich but i think they only included 3. what a shame. The Jerry seinfield wasnt all that and a bag of chips either. The shakes are great tho. Deff drop some $$ for these. They give you a bag of chips, maybe they should put the chips on the sandwhiches. Maybe they already do? Plus side--they have many flavors to take home that you CANT find in stores.

I didn't like peanut butter. Never have, and never thought I would. That was until we took a trip here over the weekend. The original plan was to get lunch and eat at Washington Sq. but it was wet and dreary so we decided to take a rain check on the park and eat in, instead. The storefront is small and cozy. I didn't count, but I think it fit about 6 small tables in total. As for the food, we split the Ants on a Log, and Dark Chocolate Dreams Sandwich. He got grape juice that came in a can and a soy cafÃ© au lait for me. Honestly, I was a bit apprehensive about the idea of peanut butter, raisins and celery but I was feeling brave that day and gave it a try. The combination sounded so bizarre, but it was actually really good; I liked all the flavors together. Our sandwich, which consisted of "[d]ark chocolate peanut butter and cherry jam, stuffed with shredded coconut" was perfect. It was sweet, it was tart, it was gooey, it was crunchy, all-in-all, it was a lot of things; good things.

Not so bad. Not worth the hype. Their product is good in stores, the actual restaurant seems lacking. The menu looks too simple, almost strictly for kids. Will buy their peanut butter again but that's about it.

Bridie W.

PB & Co must be 'over'. We went at about midday and the place was deserted. The guy at the counter didn't even acknowledge us and we had to wait at the counter for a while. It is so overpriced it's not even funny! We ordered ants on a log - it was $6 for five wilted pieces of celery with a scant amount of plain peanut butter (not even one of the flavoured varieties) with about three raisins on each. Madness!

Try a PB&J sandwich with your bread toasted, YUM. The milkshake I had was average (vanilla), so dont waste your money.

Helen T.

The first time I passed by this shop, my friend was craving it and raved about it, but I wasn't in a PB mood. The second time I passed by this place, we decided to go in since I was a bit hungry. We shared the "Elvis" with maple peanut butter. It was pretty cute that it came with a bag of chips and carrot sticks. I wasn't expecting much, but I had to say it was a pretty good peanut butter and banana sandwich. What really made it special was the peanut butter. The peanut butter was so good that I bought a jar because I knew that I could not get this in California. And I'm SO GLAD I DID. Because now I can make the same exact thing at home. Nghhh so gudd. Anyways, yes, the sandwiches are pretty pricey. I probably wouldn't rate this place so high if I were a New Yorker and could get this at a local supermarket, but I'm not and I can't get this PB in Cali. So because of the awesome PB I'm giving it 4 stars. Get the peanut butter. GET IT.

Not impressed. Had the chocolate peanut butter pie. Maybe the sandwiches are better, but I could make those at home.

Very blah. I can make the exact same peanut butter nutella sandwich at home. Bring something else to the table! Also the service had some definite attitude.
