Peanut Butter Jelly Time

This place knows exactly what it is and sells it which is why they get 5 stars. We went on a Saturday evening (they close at 8) and I would recommend this place more for lunch. They have a very big menu with almost every kind of peanut butter and jelly sandwich you could think of. Also they gave grilled cheese so other menu items if you are. It into PB & J. The sandwiches range in price from 2 – 6 $ which really is not bad for all the items you can get on the sandwich plus they all come with a choice of a size including bag of chips, animal crackers or vanilla wafers. I went with the peanut butter and Nutella sandwich pretty basic and very tasty. I also got the funky monkey which came with crunchy peanut butter, crushed up pretzels and chips with sliced bananas. It was amazing! We had a $ 25 gift card to spend which was actually hard so I also got a yogurt parfait which had granola and lots of fresh fruit. For dessert we got dirt– have not had that since I was a kid with gummy worms and all. I would love to go back for lunch as the are so many other sandwiches I want to try. The staff were helpful and friendly and the place is very cute inside. It would be a great place to take kids.

Disappointed at the fact that they didn’t have chips or ice cream for milkshakes. It’s a hot day you would think you wouldn’t run out of ice cream. Also didn’t understand why there was a $ 8 minimum on credit cards when that’s never happened before to me

Great little place. Simple but cheap meal out. Yes you can make a pb and j at home but here they will do all sorts of cool things with it. It’s about 4 dollars a meal so if you want a cheap treat it’s fun. Excellent for parent child dates.
Only complaints —
It was hot in there. Warmer than outside. I also prefer a higher quality jelly/​jam. But it was still good

Tasty sandwiches, nice selection, good value, good service, liked the Elvis and the Red Raz Roll.

You’d think pb&j was overdone after eating it every day for lunch in grade school, but you’d be wrong. Menu is quite varied and very affordable. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely be coming back to try some of the more adventurous items.

This is the perfect place to have an old fashioned bag lunch or one with a twist. The toddler ordered a Fluffler Nutter and chose animal crackers as his side with a box of chocolate milk. I had the peaches and cream roll, AMAZING, with a fortune cookie and a white milk. Seating is the right amount since it’s a quick lunch or dinner spot. Loved it!

I was looking for a quick snack and Peanut Butter Jelly Time definitely fit the bill. Sure, peanut butter and jelly isn’t the fanciest meal, but the ‘sushi rolls’ elevated the common sandwich (it’s even served with chop sticks!). The staff was friendly and the hot chocolate was delicious, too. A nice treat for a good price. It’s fun to try different combinations without having to buy all the ingredients to experiment at home.

How can one go wrong with multiple takes on the classic pb and j??? The atmosphere was friendly and always happy to support a family business. Especially liked the milk cartons in addition to the specialty pb and j. My husband got the sushi style roll, unfortunately it wasn’t bad but neither of us were a fan because we enjoyed my toasted sammy much better. Some ppl may enjoy the whimsical style of serving the «sushi». YUmm, just thinking of the sandwich makes me want to go back!

When Peanut Butter Jelly Time went in, I was totally stoked. I love peanut butter and jelly. There is a place just like this in New York City, but the prices are triple so I have never gone. This place is serving some awesome options for your PB&J cravings.
Upon entering I was greeted by the owner. She and her brother run the business together. Hooray! They have a family friend who makes the peanut butter and homemade dog treats. There are tons of flavors of jelly and a variety of toppings. You can get PB&J sushi, Build-​Your-​Own, Gourmet sandwiches, Grilled cheese, and Cereal. Nothing here is terribly complicated, which is nice when life is stressful.
I tested out the Apple Jack Sandwich ($ 3.25) and Blueberry Yum Yum Roll ($ 3.75). My favorite was the roll, which was crunchy peanut butter and blueberry jelly, topped with blueberries and vanilla drizzle. The blueberry jelly was awesome. This combination was delicious and just the right amount of sweet. The Apple Jack was good too. It was smooth peanut butter, Apple butter, and apple slices on Cinnabon bread. I couldn’t really taste the Apple butter, but I liked this sandwich too. It tastes like fall.
I will definitely stop back in on my next trip through Bloomfield. To be honest, I do not know how sustainable the store is since the prices are so low, and rent must be fairly high. I hope they manage to hang in there! I also would love it if they sold their jelly as well.

This little joint might be small on the inside, but ENORMOUS on fun, smiles, and nostalgia!!! Oh my god, every amazing memory you have growing up with mom making you sandwiches or eating at the school cafeteria is here and more. They have milkshakes, grilled cheeses and other items besides just pb&j’s. Do yourself a favor, order some sushi it’s spectacular. Don’t worry, it’s not fish… Just bread peanut butter and assorted garnishments. Prices are super cheap, feed the whole fam for practically nothing! After you leave, all you’ll be thinking about is when to go back… And why the hell didn’t mom make me pb&j sushi?

Has adulthood ever gotten you down and left you wishing you could return to your carefree youth? Well, they still haven’t figured out time travel to make this a reality. But the people at Peanut Butter Jelly Time have turned two childhood classics., PB&J and grilled cheese, into a restaurant which is the next best thing.
I went there for an early-​ish lunch on a Tuesday around 11:30. The menu before held a wonderful bounty of options to choose from. I was tempted by both the Elvis (PB&J with bananas) or the cheesecake PB&J, but I had to stick close to the original — a PB&J with a waffle instead of the bread. I also got the vanilla wafers as my side and a milk box to drink in order to complete my childhood nostalgia. Totally worth it and the best lunch I had that week.
They still seem to get a decent amount of traffic that comes in just to look at the menu, which is odd for a restaurant. The person who took my order first asked if I wanted to order something or was just checking the place out. They did that for everybody who walked in and took a look at menu, so it wasn’t just me. Hopefully, this will go away as they realize that people probably want to get food from them when they walk in. If they were just curious about the menu, they would have simply read the menu posted in the window.
Despite this one very minor annoyance that left me scratching my head in curiosity at what one might term «window-​shopping eaters.» This place is great. Next time pretending like I’m a fully-​functioning adult has me down I know where I’ll be escaping for a break.

«So cute!» That was my first impression of PB & J Time, and I’m not even really a big peanut butter fan! It has this vibe… some people have said 50’s or whatever, but I really think it’s just authenticity. They people there, the products they use, the way they greet everyone who comes through the door… it’s just genuine.
We got the brown bag special (5 classic sandwiches for $ 11.99), a great deal and a really neat way to get and tray a bunch of different PB&Js. Of the 4 of us, we all pretty much had a favorite; mine was a tie for the Apple Jack– PB with think apple slices and honey I believe– or the Cookie delight. I think the BF’s was the Elvis– PB and banana of course. We also tired one of the sushi, but I can’t remember which one. It was good too, and there are a bunch of others I can’t wait to try. They also have grilled cheese and a cereal bar. You really can’t beat the prices either. most of the classic sandwiches are $ 3.50 or below and they are really neat combinations. A regular PB&J is like a buck! They also have white, chocolate and strawberry milk which I thought was a nice touch. Ice cream and floats kind of round out the menu. Of the group, we had both and both were great.
Some people complain in the other reviews about store bought white bread or bagels, but I liked it. I hate when restaurants throw weird, fancy ingredients into a dish for ‘wow’ factor. It’s a peanut butter and jelly joint, not a five star hotel restaurant. And honestly, if they tried using some fancy artisan bread, not only would it ruin the whole vibe, but a PB&J would cost like 7 bucks and then people would complain about that, so… go figure.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time was an interesting place. How can you go wrong with peanut butter and jelly!!! So many different choices to choose from and some very creative options.
My husband and I split 4 different sandwiches, wanted to try a variety. My favorite was the peanut butter and jelly waffle. Very good!
Overall their sandwiches are good but not sure how often I’d eat there. It’s a pretty basic concept and not exactly the most healthiest of options. But I do recommend at least trying Peanut Butter Jelly Time at least once.

I stopped by PB&J Time last Sat. at noon with a friend. Given that my friend is a Chinese international student, it struck me as a great way to introduce her to the American cultural phenomenon of PB&J while simultaneously satisfying my curiosity about this shop’s take on it. We originally planned to stop by a couple of weeks ago but ended up rescheduling our outing for MLK day when the shop was closed due to it being Monday.
Given that we stopped by for lunch, we each decided to order a sandwich and split an order of PB&J «sushi.» I ordered the PB&J calzone ($ 5.75), which I customized with crunchy peanut butter, four berry jam, and blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. My friend ordered the PB Waffle Time ($ 5.25), which substitutes waffles for the bread of a normal PB&J. Both of us opted for animal crackers as our side that comes with the sandwich. We both enjoyed our sandwiches, though we found them a bit sticky due to the jam. For our «sushi» roll, we decided on the monster choco roll ($ 4.99), which consists of chocolate spread and creamy peanut butter topped with chocolate syrup and chocolate chips. My friend found it a bit sweet for her liking, but I enjoyed it very much – as expected, it tasted similar to a peanut butter cup.
The atmosphere of this shop is definitely nostalgic in terms of the décor and music, though the high top tables seem like a bit of an odd choice. The clientele consisted of a somewhat eclectic mixture of families with young children and other childless millennials. The owner and employees were super friendly from the time that they welcomed us to the shop to the time that they cleared our dishes. We enjoyed our experience, and I will for sure be back soon. If you’re looking for something a bit different, it’s worth checking out, for sure! 4.5 stars.

Great atmosphere. We went here more for the kids than my wife and I. We got a bunch of different items. They were all good but nothing over the top.
I got the peanut butter jelly rolls, they were awesome! Service was great too. The manager or owner really cared about the business and checked up on us. It’s nice to see. I would recommend it. It was fun!

This place takes a simple PBJ and comes up with so many variations of it that it becomes a legitimate dessert. I would probably hesitate to call this a sandwich place; yes PBJs are sandwiches and you get tons of bread options to choose from, but almost all items (except for the grilled cheeses) on their menu are sweet, accompanied by various jams, fruits, or ice creams. As a kid a PBJ may have been a good enough «meal,» but I pretty much had to make do with the BLT meal to actually get something substantial in. That said, the sandwich was pretty good, and I did like being able to get my sandwich with cinnabon bread. The overall concept is great and falls somewhere in the honey toast /​Belgian waffle category. I see how being able to customize your own sandwich can be pretty fun, and the «sushi roll» presentation of these sandwiches is cute (though really you’re just paying more for the same food, sans crust). But I do think that this is a nice alternative to just ice cream or fro-​yo for desserts.

The food is tasty for what it is– a PB&J shop that makes the sandwiches your mom used to pack in school lunches. The breads and bagels they use are the inexpensive, store bought brands; at least this is reflected in the price of each sandwich. The food is tasty and service was fast enough (probably could use one more person behind the counter, since when I was there the cashier was also the one making the food) but I was expecting something a bit more upscale, for the neighborhood it’s in.

Visiting friends in Pittsburgh we tried Peanut Butter Jelly Time for the first time! The store is adorable from the outside and inside you are warming greeted by the ladies behind the counter. The menu contains everything from a «classic» sammich to more elaborate ones mixing all types of flavors and sauces.
I got the Strawnana sushi roll (PB and strawberry jelly with banana slices on top) which was served with a strawberry and vanilla flavored sauce drizzled over it. My son got a Belgian waffle with PBJ and chocolate sauce.
Delicious! The portions of sushi aren’t enough to have one and be full for an adult but its a great snack to tide you over between meals! I’d highly recommend this little place if you want to try something new or want to take the kids out somewhere fun!

15 stars. I’ve wanted this concept to become a reality my entire life, and now it has — right next door to me. Makes me think I’ve done some really right things in life to be so lucky.
I’ve been a PB freak since birth and have messed around with it in more ways than I can appropriately disclose.
The owners, bro and sis, are the sweetest, and super-​driven entrepreneurs. They have serious care and soul into the place.
I went twice in 24 hours. Ready to restart that streak now that I am back in town. I hope everyone that comes across this place or this page will go, minimally for my selfish reason of: I need them to stay open forever for *me*.
Oh, and I’ve eaten a bunch of «sushi rolls» and a modified Elvis so far. They’re killin’ it.
Yum!

Thank God I live a block away from this place. They have .99 cent sandwiches in addition to all of their other items. You can also order to-​go. This is going to be a great place to grab an inexpensive bagged lunch in a hurry. I can also see this as being place to purchase food in bulk for meetings, events, or to feed volunteers. Move over box of donuts, I’m bringing PBJs to the office.
I went in for the first time today and was served by the owner who was very nice. She told me that the peanut butter and jelly were both home made at a local space. That’s awesome! I feel like this place will be around for a while. I only tried the PBJ so I can’t comment on the other items but there were, indeed, a ton of other items.
