We came in for shakes and left completely blown away. I had the churro shake, my sons had the banana and Oreo -- all three were incredible. Not your average ice cream shop shakes. These things are next level. The shop also has a very cool old school ice cream shop vibe. But honestly, what made the experience was the two people working. A young lady and a young man who were both so attentive, patient, and genuinely helpful. They let us try a few flavors before we ordered, walked us through everything, and never made us feel rushed. That kind of customer service is rare anywhere, let alone at an ice cream shop. If you're in the area and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

This is a cute little downtown area, and unfortunately, it's barren on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Which worked well for us as we showed up and no one was there. Just us, which gave us plenty of time to sample the various flavors, and chat with the person working in this cute little ice cream shop. They can make all these cute shakes and sundaes with all kinds of toppings, but seeing as we aren't young kids, there's no way we could eat confections such as what I listed above. Instead, we got to try their various flavors. Thinking back, I believe I got a watermelon ice cream. I could be wrong. However, I do remember how juicy, fruity, and sweet the ice cream was. Not sweet like overly sweetened lemonade that puckers one's lips, but like the sweet sensation of a perfectly ripe watermelon, bursting with succulent. flavor. It was like that. And man was it good! If I lived in Riverside or close by, I would be there all the time. So thankfully, we were out for a drive and wanted some ice cream and found this cute little shop. They have a few small tables inside, but what makes this a town square right out of the 1950s are the cute little wireframe tables and chairs they had outside along the sidewalk so you can sit and enjoy your cone, and people watch. And we did just that. If I'm nearby again someday, I'll definitely pop in and grab a delicious cone. There flavor options were plentiful, whimsical, and flavorful. However, for the time being, I'll just post this review and hope others pop in to enjoy the cones and flavors they're providing.

There were four of us who visited tonight and three of us ordered ice cream…read more But let's start at the beginning. The four of us were heading to Oak Park from the Northwest Suburbs on our way to a Candlelight Concert at the Art Center of Oak Park. We passed Petersen's Ice Cream on the way and began discussing the last time we had visited this ice cream parlor and then agreed we'd stop on our way back. The show ended and we headed to Petersen's. Three of us ordered a scoop in a cup each. One got butter pecan, another got cinnamon, and I got peach. I gotta say, the peach was creamy, filled with large chunks of peaches, and is insanely delicious. It was very refreshing! The woman working behind the counter has been there since 2003. She's gad a nice run in a place that has been around since 1919. Having done no research whatsoever, and not knowing if they've occupied the same space all that time; the one true thing I can say with 100% certainty is that Petersen's Ice Cream is fantastically awesome and needs to be visited more than they are now. And get the peach, it's damn good!

I ordered a soft serve Blue Goo ice cream cone. The young lady handed me the ice cone and it was limp to the side and running. The presentation online looked nothing like I ordered in person. I was a bit disappointed because I couldn't taste the blueberry flavor. It tasted just like a regular vanilla flavor cone. There is an outside patio for you to seat and enjoy your ice cream.
