Krema Nut Company

I truly believe this is one of the little hidden gems in Columbus. While several people have heard of this company, few know that they actually serve sandwiches and shakes here- but not just any sandwich- a variety of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. What better comfort food than sitting down to a lunch of peanut butter and jelly with a milkshake for dessert?

I took my parents here on their last visit. Upon walking in is an overwhelming variety of nut butters (peanut, almond, cashew), nuts, snack mixes, candies, etc. on the shelves along the walls. They also have a little "cafe" off to the side. This is why I really wanted to come! Their whole menu is reasonably priced, with no sandwich costing more than $5. After much contemplation, we decided to share the Classic Old Timer and the Almond Delight with orange apricot spread, both on white bread (despite the fact that even as I kid, I always declined white bread- something must be wrong with me).

The Classic Old Timer was just that- crunchy peanut butter, strawberry preserves and slices of strawberries sandwiched between two slices of soft white bread. The saltiness of the peanut butter and sweetness of the preserves and fruit really complimented each other. And that bread- I need to find out where it comes from because it was fantastic. So fresh and so good.

I wanted to try a sandwich with one of the other nut butters, so we decided to get the one made with almond butter. The Almond Delight was made with their smooth almond butter and your choice of any topping. We chose the orange apricot fruit spread and although slightly tart, it was the perfect combination with the almond butter.

Of course after enjoying the sandwiches so much, we couldn't pass down the opportunity to finish off our meal with a milkshake made with their delicious peanut butter! We ordered the peanut butter-chocolate...my mouth waters just thinking about it! It's the best milk shake I've had in a very long time- my mom and I fought for the last sip.

I didn't leave the store without a jar of peanut butter and almond butter. I've been recommending this place to everybody since I've eaten here, and I will surely be back soon!

This is, hands down, my favorite local business for savory snacks/nuts and sweet treats. At the holidays, the traffic and parking can be bonkers, but I highly suggest stopping in throughout the year for amazing caramel popcorn, chocolate truffles, and spicy nuts!

They have the best peanut butter on earth. Once the weather warms up, I'm going to finally come for lunch and treat myself to a PB&J from their little cafe counter (note that they don't have the cafe counter or milkshakes available during the winter months...or maybe the holidays. I can't exactly remember.)

The service is consistently friendly and helpful and the prices are great! Get yourself some of the choc peanut butter buckeye popcorn. Trust me!!

Peanut butter paradise! This is a true classic family run small business. Apparently, they are one of the oldest peanut butter manufacturers in the US. The front part of the store is full of bagged nuts, candies, snack mixes, and fudge. They also have a nice variety of gift boxes.

The magic happens in the kitchen area off to the left. They make fresh PB sandwiches and ice cream milkshakes. I had the old timer sandwich with spicy peanut butter. The peanut butter was incredible. It is a huge sandwich for $6! The bread was really soft and fresh as well. Staff was so nice and welcoming. What a gem in Grandview.

This place is an institution for a reason and I'm embarrassed to say I've lived in Columbus half my life and I just made my first visit last week.

I've also been back twice since then.

The nuts and snacks and candies and goodies--yes, they're awesome. They make great gifts, great treats for yourself, they are amazing. But that's not what this review is all about. This review is about their Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwich.

In elementary school, my mom would occasionally pack a PBP in my lunch and kids would wrinkle their nose and scoff at my sandwich. It feels very validating that Krema has a Peanut Butter and Pickle sandwich on their menu because I AM NOT ALONE in recognizing this delicacy.

I opted for white bread and have zero regrets about the carbs, the gluten, the glycemic index...any of that stuff. Zero regrets. The bread is impossibly dense and light at the same time, a softness and light sweetness to it that makes it the perfect delectable carrier for the dreamiest, creamiest peanut butter I have ever consumed in my entire life. And the pickles! They're crisp and salty, the most epic complement to the peanut butter. I shared this sandwich with my mother and she said, "This is better than anything I've ever made you." And although it was the absolute truth I'm glad she said it and not me.

We both had a milkshake to wash our sandwiches down, and they are also perfect creations in their own right. Real ice cream, real milk, real ingredients.

I plan on going back and trying every single sandwich and milkshake on the menu to make up for all the lost time I wasted by not going there.

Always get the Buckeye Crunch!

As a peanut butter place in the heart of Columbus, Kreme really capitalizes on the famed chocolate and peanut butter snack, Buckeyes!

They have so many nuts and chocolates and nut butters and it's all so good.

The brownie bites have an unexpected crunch. Seems like a candy coating in there. They are tasty! The chocolate maple bourbon pecans are lovely as well.

Be careful, you might just spend all your money in here. So many tasty treats to try!

I didn't even know this company existed until I saw an ad on Facebook for it! Such a cool place. It's tiny, but packed with tons of goodies. Fudge, salted/unsalted nuts, jellies, nut butters, pretzels, candies, and practically every option of chocolate covered nut. Even if you don't order a milkshake or sandwich, it's worth visiting just for the snacks alone.

Their sandwich menu is pretty large considering you can customize your own. They have several gourmet options too. I ordered the PB Nana sandwich on wheat bread with crunchy peanut butter. I loved it! The peanut butter was super thiccc and even though there's honey on it, it wasn't sweet. Delicious and filling.

I do wish they had dairy alternatives like almond milk for their milkshakes though. I would have ordered one if a dairy free option was available. Regardless, this place is fantastic. I'll definitely be returning!

Krema is a hidden gem. They roast their own nuts and have a selection of nuts, candy, and nut butters. I love to stock up on chunky peanut butter and apple butter each time I visit. They often have some seasonal food items to share as gifts. While picking up some peanut butter, be sure to grab a milkshake or sandwich! They use some magic to make a basic peanut butter sandwich taste gourmet. One of my favorites is the apple cheesecake peanut butter sandwich.

Wow. I've been meaning to go here for a while and finally made it. Long story short; it's worth the hype. I got the classic old timer on wheat (crunchy PB with strawberry compote and strawberries). It did not disappoint. There are many options that I will definitely be going back to try, and I've heard their milkshakes are the bomb dot com!

Smooth Krema homemade peanut butter on both. Niece got The Buckeye on white bread. Chocolate hazelnut spread. I went with The Classic, which has strawberry preserves and fresh strawberry slices packed on top of the pb. Basically, both were euphoria, sandwich-style.

Krema gets their bread from local baker Great Harvest. Both the white and wheat were great. Soft, thick/dense and moist. Went perfect with the peanut butter-filling of choice combo. Neither detracted from the nut flavor, nor was overkill. The strawberry preserves was very fruity. Loved the slices of strawberry - an added bonus. The bite of my niece's Buckeye was dreamy. I just so happen to love quality buckeyes. An ENTIRE sandwich to pay homage to the sweet treat? A sensation for the tastebuds! Tip: Get a glass of milk to accompany! Just trust me, it will only enhance your meal.

Sandwich and milkshake prices are very reasonable. Sandwiches are in the $5-6 range, and are loaded with spreads. You can pick from the suggested sammies, or build your own concoction.

We got a few of the handmade candies that line Krema's small store space: peacan turtle, cashew turtle, and a chocolate peanut cluster. PS, they are mighty-fine chocolate novelties.

We opted to hold off on a Krema milkshake, but definitely gives reason to return!

Doesn't look like much when you drive by but this is the best nut company around. They have fresh nuts sorted by salted, unsalted, they have popcorn, and special treats as well. Prices are great and there are so many variations/flavors for the nuts. Great place for gifts! They also serve fresh peanut butter sandwiches & milkshakes. The milkshakes are amazing! They have some sandwich creations but I always get the creamy pb with fresh grape jelly on white bread. You can also get wheat bread or crunchy PB & strawberry jelly! They also make creations with banana, honey, etc! A must try place.

Amazing selection, very reasonable prices for specialty nuts. Also delicious assortment of pretzels with various coatings. And sugar free choices. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, we were there at almost closing time, but never felt rushed. Helpful regarding the least gluten choices. Cute shop and storefront.
