(Lyrics - Joanna Wang - Lost In Paradise)
I know that it might sound strange
But you made my palates start to sing
It happened so suddenly
Like dessert has waited up for me
I've just been Yelping so long
Kept eating my dessert wrong
In every order and every size
Now my appetite is craving at your sight
Sometimes you think I'm old fashion
But I don't know
I'll keep it to myself
Your sandwich taste so wonderful
My smile can show
I'm lost at Petersen's
You scream I scream we all scream for Petersen's Ice Cream!
Petersen's is a long established ice cream parlor from the Midwest for over a decade and seems to me finally making it's way West to Gilbert AZ. The nostalgic feel of this place fits perfectly for downtown Gilbert. Old fashion ice cream with a twist; on a donut or cookie sandwich! I had to try their famous Mackinac Island Fudge; fudge swirls with chunky fudge in vanilla ice cream; donut sandwich simply because .... well I do!
Needless to say, the sandwich didn't disappoint! Warm doughy glazed donut with creamy cold chocolate fudge was a perfect marriage! This came quite large so I would recommend sharing with your friends unless you're a greedy dessert person. Then you could also get their cone ice cream cause they were large in portion too! Petersen also makes their own waffle bowls that's an extra specialty I would definitely go for if you're into sundaes.
Overall, a nice visit to Petersen's. At first the place seems pretty plan and definitely needs more seating for patrons; couches and high tops perhaps? I would like to see more flavors, but what they had was fine. It would be cool if they had a soda jerk machine that would actually work. In the end, it's good'o fashion ice cream with some old fashion fun! - Enjoy!
