Krema Nut Company

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.

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 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!!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

I love this place for gift giving snacks. They have an awesome selection and their nuts are the finest quality . Thanks for the samples!
