Peanut Butter & Jelly Deli — Restaurant in West Allis

I came across this brand at my local farmer's market. Completely expecting something that tasted half like cardboard and half like roasted peanuts I took a sample of their honey roasted peanuts butter and I couldn't stop eating this. I'm not a peanut butter connoisseur by any means, nor am I crazy about peanut butter. Do I love it in a good PBJ sandwich with the occasional substitution of jelly for Nutella or a sliced banana? Yes. Do I eat peanut butter every day? Not really. I'm telling you I can't stop eating this peanut butter. When I'm not eating this, I'm thinking of when I can fit it in my next meal so I'm being calorically responsible. I Hate crunchy peanut butter and was not expecting a crunch when I had this sample and I'm telling you, it was love at first bite. I'm a Jiffy girl, don't even like Skippy that much and this has replaced big brand peanut butter for me.

What do I like about it? As soon as you bite into the peanut butter, the aroma of freshly roasted peanuts hits you. You continue eating and this ever so slight crunch accompanies the smooth peanut butter like sugar crystals dissolving. (I'm not a fan of crunchy and smooth together which is why I hate traditional crunchy peanut butter that gets stuck in your teeth, but these are like tiny sugary peanut butter pop rocks bursting in every bite.) The smoothness of the creamy peanut butter then introduces you to this background note of flowery honey that you start to sense as you continue eating. Even after you're done, you don't get a bitter aftertaste that you may with other peanut butter, it's just a clean taste with a slight aroma of freshly roasted peanuts. Literally addictive, the best peanut butter I've had in my life.

Thank you for making this, I will be...

A while back, Andrea Dexter and I stopped back in to Peanut Butter & Jelly Deli to try out their home-made PB&Js for lunch! What did we think? Let us tell you!

First, let me say that Peanut Butter & Jelly Deli has an endless supply of home made jellys, jams, spreads, butters, etc. for you to try, mix and match on your sandwiches, and/or take home. Building a PB&J here comes with a wealth of options. We didn't go that route, rather opting for some of the pre-designed options, so we'll cover that here.

Andrea Dexter had the Strawberry Lover's PB&J, which had fresh strawberries, crunchy honey roasted peanut butter, and a layer of strawberry jam on white toasted bread. The real game changer here is the fresh strawberries. The honey roasted peanut butter, also made in house and their best selling "butter", is delicious and creamy with full chunks of peanuts, and combined with the fresh strawberries creates a unique play on the classic PB&J.

I, being the glutton that I am, opted for the "Double Decker", which I built with Seedless Raspberry Rhubarb Jam and All Natural Peanut Butter. Nothing special here, but the raspberry rhubarb jam was great, and i may have decided to switch to natural home-made peanut butter in the future because of this sandwich.

Worth a stop in to see the full selection of options and take some jarred PB&J home with you. While you there, grab some lunch! You wont be disappointed. Parking isn't great (street parking only) so plan...

I have enjoyed going to the Peanut Butter and Jelly Deli for years and thought that I couldn't love it more but it turns out I can because today the Peanut Butter and Jelly Deli was my hero and saved a birthday party!!!

What happened is that I had ordered pizza for the party but got a call from the pizza place letting me know they couldn't complete my order. So, I am desperate to feed hungry mouths and while driving to pick up party supplies I pass the Peanut Butter and Jelly Deli.

Now, at this point it is 2:30 PM and they close at 3:00 PM on Sundays. So, I call them and tell them I know they are closing in 30 minutes but asked if they could accomodate a larger order of 12 or more sandwiches. I was about to launch into the fact that it was to save a birthday party but I didn't even have to go there because right away they said "Absolutely, come on in!"

The two girls working were phenomenal! I ended up ordering 16 sandwiches to make sure I had enough food/to have variety and they were kind, courteous, and a total delight! They just went above and beyond!

I cannot say enough good about the girls who were working today and about the Peanut Butter and Jelly Deli itself! I love, love, LOVE this place and will continue going there to enjoy their delicious sandwiches, jams/jellies, and other goods but now I will also be going to them for my future party...
