I LOVE ice cream. I don't think it's possible for a dessert to be excellent unless it includes ice cream. Since I have a great love of ice cream, I'm also fairly picky when it comes to it. I don't eat it all that often (you know, because health), so when I do eat it I want only the best! It needs to be made from high quality ingredients and not taste artificial in any way. It also needs to be firm, but not too firm, and be creamy without leaving a film in your mouth.
Petersens does it all. There is a large selection with rare flavors that are sure to please anyone. I personally love the Mackinac Island Fudge ice cream. I've had many of their other flavors, but I continue to go back to this one. Tonight I also had one of their house made waffle cones, and it was absolutely delicious.
As for their service, they have always been really nice. Yes, they do seem to hire really young people, but they all seem to be genuinely nice kids that care about their job. I will definitely keep coming back.
