New York City-PB&Co

The outside of PB& Co
While I was in New York City recently, my family and I had to think of fun and good places to eat. My Dad had found PB&Co online, and we decided we should go there because it looked like a fun place with good food.  PB&Co is a little restaurant very close to New York University. Almost everything the restaurant serves is different kinds of peanut butter sandwiches. My family decided that we would each get a sandwich and split it among everyone, which was a great idea, so everyone could have everything! My dad got a "The Heat Is On" sandwich, which consisted of a cold piece of grilled chicken, pineapple jam, and spicy peanut butter. My mom tried a "White Chocolate Wonderful" sandwich, which was white chocolate peanut butter with orange marmalade and some sliced almonds. My brother loves bacon, so he decided on "The Elvis" which was a grilled peanut butter sandwich stuffed with bananas, honey, and bacon! I love cookie dough, so I wanted to try the "Cookie Dough Surprise"that had dark chocolate peanut putter on one side, vanilla cream cheese on the other, and stuffed with chocolate chips!  We split up all the sandwiches, and we each got a quarter of each one.


The Elvis! Yum!
The first one I tried was The Elvis, and that was a great sandwich! The peanut butter went amazingly well with the honey, and I don't even like honey! The bananas were great, but the bacon was the all-star of this grilled sandwich! The second sandwich that I tried was the one that I had picked out, the Cookie Dough Surprise! I was shocked that it really tasted like cookie dough! Although my family didn't care for it, I thought it was pretty good. Then I tried the White Chocolate Wonderful, and even though they said it tasted like white chocolate (which I hate), all I could taste was the orange
marmalade. Not the best sandwich. Lastly, I tried a quarter of a The Heat is On sandwich, which to be completely honest, I thought was disgusting. The sandwich was served cold, and there was chicken on it, and personally, I don't like chicken unless it's hot. The pineapple jam didn't even taste like pineapple to me, to me it tasted bland. Although the place was clean, it didn't have much decoration except for a wall that they stacked tons of jars of their special-made peanut butter. This is a restaurant that kids will enjoy, but not somewhere that I am rushing back to.

I will always rate the places I visit on my Cookie Counter scale of Cookieness with 10 Cookies being perfect chocolate chip (my favorite) goodness and 1 Cookie being burnt, stale oatmeal raisin nastiness. My Cookie Counter Ratings for PB& co are:

Food: 6 Cookies
Atmosphere: 6 Cookies
Service: 7 Cookies

Until next time, Keep Cooking!

  1. Sounds like an interesting place to try. Pretty unique. From the food you reviewed, the Elvis sounds like the best sandwich for me as I love a peanut butter and honey combo; however, the added bacon sounds super yum! I think I may try it at home.

    Cool review.
