Welcome to PB & Js, your go-to cafe nestled in the heart of South Townsville. Here, culinary creativity meets heartwarming comfort, producing a delightful experience that keeps locals and visitors returning for more. This charming cafe is not just about food; it's about the joyful memories created over handcrafted treats and a steaming cup of coffee.

At PB & Js, the offerings are a tempting fusion of baked goods and specialty beverages. The Baked Goods menu stands out with its exquisite Black Sesame Basque and the luxurious Pistachio Basque, both priced at A$9.50—a true indulgence for your taste buds. Imagine savoring a warm, decadent pastry that melts in your mouth, with flavors that dance together in perfect harmony.

But the allure doesn’t stop there; the Specialty Iced section introduces a refreshing twist with creations like the Matcha White Choc, perfectly blending earthy matcha with the sweetness of white chocolate. From the rich Hot Chocolate and comforting Chai at A$4.50, to the intoxicating Iced Strawberry and Knees Iced Chocolate options for kids, each drink is crafted with the same love and attention—as shared by Elizabeth Browne, who proclaims it as her family's favorite sweet treat spot!

The bustling atmosphere of PB & Js is irresistible. Customers can witness the magic unfold as donuts are made fresh before their eyes, lending an air of excitement and anticipation. The line may get long, as noted from Bree Ashlee Reardon's experience, but once you bite into a gooey, warm cookie topped with silky vanilla soft serve, you’ll understand exactly why it’s worth the wait. Each treat is an invitation to indulge, and Leah Vassallo’s succinct admiration for their donuts captures the essence perfectly: “The best doughnuts ever.”

Not only do they serve delightful desserts, but they also offer thoughtful touches like the sweet-scented car air fresheners, leaving customers with a little piece of PB & Js wherever they go. Whether you're visiting with friends, family, or even your furry companion—Daisy, the golden retriever, vouches for their donut holes—this cafe has something special for everyone.

It's more than a café; it's a place where sweet cravings are not just satisfied but transformed into memorable moments!

Where to begin, the cookies, the cakes, the brownies, the donuts and the coffee make pb&j's my families favorite sweet treat spot! The variety of changing donut flavours, the size of the donuts and now with the bonus of soft serve on top is just heaven. You know everything is fresh as you can watch the donuts being made while you wait and you must try an NYC cookie warm out of the oven, THE best cookie!

Waited in line for 45 mins for late night PB & Js!! Was it worth it? Hell yeahhhhh! Although the wait was very hot and humid the cookies were gooey and warm! With vanilla soft serve it was delicious!! I also had a biscoff thick shake!! 10/10 only downfall was not enough biscoff chunks in the shake add more!!!!! But love love love their deserts and coffees and the staff are always very welcoming and sweet! Would recommend

From the home bakery to the real deal! PB&Js is next level amazing. The diverse flavours will ensure there is something for everyone! A little odd but the car air freshener - the best. Like having a sweet treat in the car! We love visiting and supporting small local businesses!

We love PB & J’s! Delicious, handmade treats and friendly staff. It’s my go-to place to take friends and family visiting Townsville! Our golden retriever, Daisy, loves their donuts holes and pats too!

I’m a donut lover and can say these are the best, tastiest and freshest donuts! Friendly hard working owner and staff. The service is always friendly and they have a really cute shop. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Had the pleasure of delivering ingredients to PB&J’s when they were still operating out of their home and was always greeted with the most genuine sincere person ever. PB&J’s donuts and other sweet treats are the best in business. Have had donuts from “best in business” from multiple states but nothing will ever compare to these donuts. The flavour selection each month is to die for and the change in flavours and themes to coincide with month events is incredible. Have introduced new people to the deliciousness of PB&J’s and they’ll never turn back.
