A group of friends and I had dinner nearby and happened to walk past this lovely store curious. We ended up ordering the peanut butter loaded fries and the apple crumble with peanut butter store. Obviously the name 'peanut butter bar' we expected it was targetted at peanut butter lovers. The loaded fries were crispy and very interesting in flavour, it had pickled onions, a lot of chilly and a savoury peanut butter sauce. It tasted weird but in an interesting way. The apple crumble was delicious, I personally preferred it without the rich peanut butter sauce.
When the future looks nuuuuutty! 🤩
I am sure if you live in Sydney, you would know about this place. I am also sure that if you live in Australia and are a foodie, you would also have heard about this place. And I am absolutely sure that that if you haven’t heard about this place, then… duuuude, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING WITH YOUR LIFE.
The Peanut Butter Bar opened in 2017 because they felt that the love for peanut butter should be waaaaay beyond a simple single jar - I cannot agree more on that.
So, what did they decide to do? They decided to come up with the world’s FIRST peanut butter tap! Yes, an actual tap!
Of course that it became so massive popular that I would even dare saying that the life for peanut butter lovers that dare to visit and drink from that fountain has never been the same. Yes, drinking some liquid gold is a lifetime experience and I couldn’t miss on visiting first on my trip to Sydney!
PB on toast? Boring. PB cookies? Meh. PB in bananas/apples. Too average 💁♀️ let’s bring those PB burgers, loaded fries, share platters, cookie skillets, pancakes and aaaaaaall the nutty goodness pouring over! (Also, love how their meals are also high in protein and they have many vegan and allergen friendly options!)
The place is located just right in the CBD but trust me, it is a place you don’t want to miss AT ALL and it can be reached with a 1.30h walk or a 30 minute drive. I would personally advise the walk since it’s a great change for you to get to know the city! They actually have currently 2 stores and the one I visited was the HQ at Leichhardt, but there is also another one in Revesby.
The place is very unique once you spot it and not only is beautiful and arranged with the colours and modern look but is actually very welcoming and catchy! it has that chick style that everyone loves and you will be promptly welcomed once you come inside 👌 Seriously if one thing that these guys have is an outstanding customer service! I have had great welcomes in the past but I have to say that the hosts were absolutely incredible and I could see that not just towards me but everyone in the venue was happily enjoying their time in there!
After going through the menu and asking for advice on what to try since all the options seriously seem incredible and out of this world, we decided to go for a both the savoury items that they have recently in December added to the menu and also the sweet, incredible and creative desserts that they have!
Here’s what we had:
- The PBB Burger - it’s two 180g butter marbled beef patties, with two cheddar cheese slices, 4 maple glazed smoky bbq bacon, along with some secret PBB sauce & house pickled cucumbers. my friend had this burger because of the lactose content of it and he had the option of choosing between this one and two other meat based burgers that they have but since this was the most popular one and the one that the staff recommended he went for it and absolutely loved it. served on a milk bun not only do i have to admit that the looks are mouth drooling but he was absolutely in love with the burger and cannot recommend it any more!
- Grass Grazer Burger - this was my chosen burger and it was a 100% plant based patty from the bran Beyond Meat that I have personally tried in the past and absolutely love it. Did taste the consistency ingredients everything about it is stunning and more than approved and it came with something that I cannot resist to which is caramelised onion 👏👏👏 seriously the best! They also added some lettuce, tomato and house pickled cucumber, Like any other burger would have in they have made this plant-based goodness with vegan herb aioli that was again a winner! 😍 there was also some tomato relish and it is served on a rustic bun. I must admit that even being a sweet person this was absolutely terrific and if you do visit I highly recommend... you not to eat anything for the previous days so you can tackle everything and devour there is goodnesses 😂
- Vegan Peanut Butter Nutter Loaded Fries - I actually wasn’t going to try there and loaded fries but the owner said that it was an absolute must and I have to say with my upmost humble opinion that it truly is. These were absolutely terrific in taste portion and they are an absolute must try if you visit too! Don’t let the size of the meal scare you 😂trust me you want this in your life - these crispy thick cut chips loaded with their secret PBB sauce! The source is absolutely outstanding and I am not entirely sure what they make it with but I could eat that every day of my life 😍 It also came wit pickled red onion and coriander That I am personally not a fan but I must admit that it enhances the flavour and it gives a little extra to the fries and you can always put them on the side if you think that they are too much. To top it off it also came with fried shallots and 👏👏👏 LOVE IT!
- Vegan Peanut Butter Berry Pancakes - 3 high protein pancakes, gluten free & no refined sugar, dad were absolutely terrific again in size, taste and consistency! They are actually quite thin pancakes and a pink its self I don’t know what they use for the dough but it’s quite gooey! Each pancake comes smothered in peanut butter from their own tap and then again with maple syrup and the final product is one of the best ones I have tried! It comes served with vegan gelato that is a raspberry sorbet - very creamy and great taste 👏 would absolutely recommend too and definitely very filling!
- Triple Choc Cookie Skillet - my friend had this gooey triple choc cookie dough baked in a skillet, served with a scoop of vanilla gelato & a shot of peanut butter. It looked outstanding and so mouth drooling as you can see from the shots that I was VERY jealous that I didn’t get one. Unfortunately at the moment they don’t have a vegan option so I couldn’t try it but they promised me it could be ready for my trip to Sydney again at the end of the year 👏😍😂 I WANT YOU TO KEEP THAT PROMISE 👏 either way my friend loved it even though he thought the size could have been a little bigger - I mean, who doesn’t love cookies right? 😂
- Vegan Triple Choc Brownie Sunday - we also shared a cup filled with warm brownie pieces, that will possibly be the most gooey brownies you’ll ever try in your life 😍👌🤗 the taste consistency and texture was just right and decadent and it came with a bottom on peanut butter! Yes! Incredible thinking 👏 and also the right amount of gelato that I think it was the vegan bounty flavour that they have on display (and that you can even get a tub home!). On top of it all it came again with more peanut butter and topped with caramelised peanuts that I wish there were more but it was quite reasonable and fair in amount. Good size and very well presented, would recommend it too!
- Peanut Butter Almond Latte - we tried something very unique to this store and had our regular almond latte order a little bit extra and served with peanut butter! They basically make a normal almond latte (they use Milk Lab!) and then smother it with peanut butter from their fountain. Definitely something unique and that I have never tried before and I couldn’t be able to describe the flavour as it is quite interesting and I would definitely recommend giving it a go if you pop by!
- Peanut Butter Jelly Spider Soda - my friend also tried something different and definitely recommend by the staff and a best seller - an ice cream float! This is a chilled beverage that consists of ice cream in a soft drink! Great in looks and definitely enjoyed by him, and I can only wish there was a vegan version too 😂😍
At Peanut Butter Bar, they believe in satisfaction through indulgent wellness and they promote people to treat themselves with food that is truly delicious and indulgent. They have been featured all over the world in multiple magazines, articles and online websites and they are one of a kind. They literally and figuratively stole my heart and I cannot thank them enough for such a great nutty experience. Christine and her partner are amazing and I will definitely be back ❤️ MUST VISIT FOR SURE!
I’m so excited to be writing this post! I heard about the Peanut Butter Bar a few years ago and completely forgot about it. I saw them pop up on my social media again a few weeks back and made a point of going as I’m a huge Peanut Butter fan!. Presented in a beautiful booklet, the menu features amazing pictures of the dishes. It made it so hard to pick a dish as I wanted to try everything. The Peanut Butter bar features a mix of sweet and savoury food, most of which have an element of peanut butter.
