Reviews for PBJ.LA in Los Angeles, CA
Stop #2 at Grand Central Market was this PB&J shop. It looked really interesting, but no one was around to order. Luckily after... 10 minutes or so, someone came back. We got two PB&J's: - Indian - Elvis with Marshmallow Fluff They serve them uncrustablestyle which I wasn't really a fan of. I'd rather have a normal sandwich. That being said, the Indian PB&J was uniquelydelicious. The cashew butter with curry flavor knocked it out of the park. The Elvis tasted like a normal PB&J to me. Wecouldn't really find much marshmallow fluff so that didn't seem worth the addition. It might seem weird, but I think thisunique shop is worth a stop! Read more
I must admit, I like the fact that all the ingredients are locally made with organic ingredients. But this one was not for me.... Ordered an Old School which unfortunately had to ask for a different jam as it was made with strawberries and it is the onething I do not eat. A $5.50 sandwich as specified in their menu turned out to be almost $9, I assume because they had to use adifferent jam (blueberry) and I was offered the option to have it toasted. Flavor wise, not impressed and did not meet thatexpectation of bringing back those childhood memories. Definitely would give it another try. Read more
Saw this place in the directory for Grand Central Market and wound our way toward it. The menu looked so fun; we ordered the Ol?... Fashioned toasted and the Superfood. Both were excellent. The process of filling and pressing the sandwiches (round bread!) wasvery fascinating to watch. Read more
I am very amazed at this simple yet unique concept. At first, I didn?t realize how they can make pb and j sandwiches so special... but this place have very creative sandwiches and flavors! They have both savory and sweet options and they use very freshingredients. The workers were also very friendly and passionate about food. We told them that we love trying new foods and theyrecommended us a lot of other places to try out around LA! They were even vey helpful and gave us Vegan recommendations sincethey found out one of my friends were Vegan and isn?t local to the city. Read more
I first laughed at the thought of gourmet PBJ, and figured that I had to try it cause I LOVE PBJ. The guy lured me in by... telling me that I should try the samples, their whole menu is sample-able, haha. They average in about $7.50 for a PBJ, but it'sdefinitely worth it because of the material they use to make the PBJ. I liked their Chocolate Haze and Old Fashion. The OldFashion had a pretty strong taste of the orange zest but I was craving chocolate more, so I went with that one. Watching themmake the PBJ was pretty satisfying itself! He created it so delicately and used the IG worthy presser to seal the deal. I askedfor the PBJ to be toasted so that the jam would melt more. The first bite was amazing! The dark cherry jam and the chocolatereally tasted amazing together, the guy who created this is an amazing chef. I was really full from the PBJ and didn't end upgetting any other meal. If you're looking to eat here, I would recommend eating a very light dinner or just come here mid dayas a mid day snack. They also had a few drink options but it tasted a little watered down to me. Sticking to the PBJ Read more
Definitely a twist on the old pb and j, I think it's a little over priced. Staff was super friendly, the place in general really... crowded for a Wednesday. Definitely not my type of flavors, I ordered the Indian son ordered the red paid a little over $26 for2 sandwiches and 2 milks. Read more
Not a bad place to go to get a unique twist on the classic Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwich. Was recommended the Red Eye (for... coffee lovers) and the Old Fashioned. The combination of flavors is decent but it definitely felt a little overpriced. Wouldrecommend to other people but would warn them about the price. Read more
This almond milk with dark Peruvian chocolate wasn't cheap, but it was delicious. Worth it in my mind.
