Received a mail order shipment from Krema. It was packed very carefully. I've had their nuts before & they are delicious. The mail order ambiance is amazing. read more

It's dangerous being walking distance from this shop. I recently made my first visit to the little shop to satisfy my sweet tooth and WOW there were so many options. From savory snack mixes to chocolate covered graham crackers you are likely to find something everyone will like. Being a big chocolate fan, I couldn't resist buying a pack of their milk chocolate covered pretzels. Personally, I prefer dark chocolate and I didn't see too many options upon first glance but I also didn't ask; I guess I'll just have to go back and see! The products are high quality and are a little on the pricier side but they do run deals from time to time like BOGO chocolate covered almonds. These goodies would make a perfect gift that would put a smile on anyone's face :) read more

The store, which sells packaged nuts, candies, spreads and assorted snacks, is great and a part of Columbus' fabric. But this review is about the adjacent sandwich shop, which is also great and a part of Columbus' fabric. In short, get a sandwich, get a shake, and and feel very good about your decision making ability. My favorites are the PB Apple Cheesecake sandwich and Buckeye Milkshake. Yours may be different as they have a slew of options, but they're all good. The only bummer is that the sandwich shop closes in November and December, but make sure you're first in line when it reopens. read more

Krema Nut Company - PB Apple Cheesecake - Specialty Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great place to go for gifts for yourself and others. Everything thing they offer is top notch. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Best peanut butter ever...I prefer crunchy. Super peanut butter milkshake. I like to bike there and order the shake...less guilt. Wonderful staff who make products right there. Best assortment of nuts in the city. Look for their holiday nuts/candy packages too. It's a nice friendly unassuming store. read more

They no longer have a café and they no longer serve milkshakes. Just candy and nuts. I do recommend it for what they do so.

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. read more

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. read more

Krema Nut Company - Peanut butter and pickle sandwich - Specialty Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

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! read more

Krema Nut Company - The PB-Nana - Specialty Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

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!! read more

Fantastic place. Huge selection of nuts in all sorts of variations, included unsalted and delicious mixes. I only regret that I didn't get to have a final milkshake there before they announced after the fact that they had ceased operations on their small cafe section that served sandwiches and treats. read more

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! read more

Their products are top notch. Price is as can be expected from a place like this, but I think it is 100% worth it. Great little place!

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. read more

Best place in town for fresh peanuts and peanut butter. They actually make the peanut butter there. There's flavors such as spicy and cashew peanut butter, as well as traditional crunchy and creamy. Loads of fresh crunchy snacks and if you want to grab a P&J sandwich you can do that as well! Plus they serve ice cream and sell chocolate! read more

I absolutely love Krema. This local gem has had a place in my heart my entire life. I love to come here and get a classic pb&j sandwich. Their sandwiches are like my mom used to make for my school lunch, but better. I get the Classic Old Timer and add Marshmallow Fluff to it for good measure. Using thick Great Harvest bread to coddle the fresh cut strawberries, ample jelly, and house made nut butter, tops off this amazing sandwich. They also have amazing milkshakes that use their nut butters...make sure to add one of these to go with your sandwich. The cafe is just Krema's side hustle, too. Their main bread and butter *pun intended* is selling their nuts, butters, and sweets from their store and through local grocers. If you are looking for a spot to take the kids for lunch, snacks for a picnic, or want to experience some serious childhood nostalgia, give Krema a visit. You can't go wrong! read more

Krema Nut Company - Amazing milkshakes - Specialty Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Such a Columbus gem! I have always loved their PBJs and milkshakes, but wanted to give them a shoutout from my most recent visit. They have majorly updated their website which made online ordering a breeze--a significant upgrade for COVID needs! I always try and include local treats in my family's stockings for Christmas, and I'm excited for them to each get their snack mixes! Had a few questions with my order and the staff member who I spoke with on the phone was so kind and helpful, and curbside pickup was a breeze. read more

Krema Nut Company is one of the favorite not shops of Columbus. I have received a few good gifts from here. They not only have nuts but also some candy. It also has a cafe. They make peanut butter sandwiches. I believe the worst thing is how hard it is to get here when they're open. It's only open a few hours a day so you're out of luck if you work. The cafe had to be checked out if you have a chance. It makes their own peanut butter sandwiches with their own products. They also have a variety of candy and treats like trail mix. I would be sure to get some gifts from Krema. It makes for good holiday party treats. They have some screwy hours so it may take you some time to get there. read more

On 3/30, I ordered the classic old timer sandwich with white bread. It had creamy peanut butter, strawberry jelly, and sliced strawberries on it. It was one of the best pb and j's i've ever had. They had several options for pb and j's. I highly recommend. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I have run past this business numerous times and had been wanting to for years. Not sure why it took so long, but I finally went for the first time yesterday and dragged a friend along. It exceeded all expectations. They sell sandwiches on Great Harvest Bread (the best bread place in Columbus) and have a variety of peanut butter, jelly, and other combinations to choose from. I got a classic pb and j with crunchy pb and strawberry perserves on whole wheat bread and wow was it amazing. My friend got a toasted banana and pb sandwich that she also loved. We each got a milkshake (buckeye and cookies and cream and they were both delicious. For a sandwich and milkshake it was about 10 dollars but was worth every penny. The staff is polite and they made our orders so quickly, despite us showing up near close. They also sell a variety of nuts and chocolates and of course pb inside the store, which would make great little gifts. We will be back. read more

I'm not a PB&J lover to begin with, so this was a bit outside of my food comfort zone. We got two sandwiches, one sweet the other spicy PB. Both were good but the bread was rather thick and the spreads were nothing I haven't had before. They didn't change my opinion on PB&Js . With that said, their Buckeye milkshake was so good my significant other would only share ONE sip to me. The one sip will have me coming back for my own. read more

Krema Nut Company - The Kicker - Specialty Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

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. read more

Seems like I've been stopping in here every couple of months or so for decades. However, stopped in late last week and finally realized that the prices are outrageous. Instead of spending over $65 for four bags of nuts, I went home and bought the same thing (one might say even better) on Amazon for a fraction of the cost. The other factor that caused me to switch to Amazon was that one employee was totally clueless and the other was kind of "snarky". I don't really like paying high prices and supporting "snarky". read more

Just found out about this place a few years ago and now we stop in every time we are in Columbus and they are open. You can't go wrong with any of the PB/PBJ combos. The Buckeye sandwich is amazing! Fantastic nuts and other treats there too. Almonized peanuts and cashew crunch are a must try. Make sure you look at the hours as they are not open very late. They close at 5:00 pm through the week and 2:00 pm on Saturday, closed Sunday. Highly recommend! read more

The first time I drove passed, I saw the sign "Krema Nuts: Great for kids" and I stopped to take a picture because ::giggle:: it just sounds dirty. Ok, now that I've got THAT out of my system... I was instantly in love with this place! A fantastic retail selection of nuts, as well as other sweets and treats, peanut butter, and preserves. They also have a mini cafe that serves, what else, peanut butter sandwiches! Peanut butter with bananas, peanut butter with jelly, peanut butter with chocolate, peanut butter with marshmallows, and the sandwich I tried - peanut butter with apples. Unexpectedly delicious. They also have milkshakes in 6 different flavors - I tried chocolate, it was pretty good. The others were buckeye, vanilla, strawberry, peanut butter and... I THINK peanut butter & jelly. Which sounds kinda gross in a milkshake, though I'm sure it's delicious. Sammich and milkshake = under $7. The two people who were working here when I came in - one at the retail counter and one makin' sammies - were SO FRIENDLY. Almost... too friendly. They said hi and bye and thank you so many times. It was adorable. Owner(s)? ::shrug:: Caution: you might develop 8-year-old like behaviors after enjoying a meal of PB&J and a milkshake. Nostalgic comfort food win. And in "we love local" news, the Krema Nut Company has been a Columbus staple since 1898! Over 100 years of nuttin' read more

Got milk? You're gonna need it. PB&J is a staple of not only my childhood but also my adulthood. Love it. I could eat peanut butter on anything. Think of something...right now. Yup. I'd eat peanut butter on it. Really kitschy place that's been there since 1922. Small store with candies and nuts and then a back counter area where you can order peanut butter sandwiches, milkshakes and ice cream. Three of the four food groups. And don't be scared to get picky! Ask for your pb to be put on thick or thin. Ask for extra jelly. Get it your way. I wouldn't make this a regular place to eat, but I'd bring visiting friends here, split a pb&j sandwich, and open a carton of milk because that's what makes the playground of life work. read more

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! read more

When I walked into the small retail storefront for the Krema Nut Company, I was not sure what to expect. I heard they had peanut butter sandwiches but I had no idea the options would be so gourmet and varied! I stood in front of the menu board and started reading some of the descriptions. All I could think of was HOLY COW, why don't more people know about this?! I was torn between three: the smoked almond spread with apples, the classic PB&J with strawberry preserves and fresh sliced strawberries OR the hot and spicy crunchy peanut butter with chipotle raspberry preserves. I ended up getting the hot and spicy sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was straight up, dense, good old white bread (they have others) and it rocked! Well worth the $4.50. Check out this local gem - we are truly lucky to have it here in Columbus! I can't wait to try more. Update: Today I popped in and had a spicy PB with strawberry preserves and fresh, sliced strawberries. It was so good, I SnapChatted it to my friends! read more

Holy Peanut Butter goodness, Batman! I had the honor and privilege of visiting this business for my job today. The lunch counter called my name with its vast selection of sandwiches and milkshakes featuring any variety of fresh peanut butter made (probably just moments earlier) in the production facility you can watch from the retail store windows. I selected the "Buckeye" a fresh peanut butter and Nutella sami on white bread. The sandwhich was a work of art! My eyes ate in the layers of light brown, creamy peanut butter topped with an equally think chocolate and hazelnut spread of Nutella. The bread was NOT the star of the meal yet was meaty enough to support the weight of the 2 spreads. The counter lady tempted me to add a milk shake to my order but I'm glad I passed. Unfortunately, Ialso passed on adding a beverage. DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE MY FRIEND! My partial bottle of water in the car was not enough to satisfy the thirst fresh peanut butter demands! Pick up a bottle or two of water; maybe even some milk to wash down this little slice of delishisness that is a Krema Peanut Butter sandwich! Take a moment to browse the shop featuring items made on site. Krema is a local, family owned business selling the highest quality nuts, butters and chocolates. We are lucky to have them in our back yard! I'm lucky to have a job that introduces me to Krema. I can't wait to return! read more
