Petersen's Ice Cream & Cafe

Excellent ice cream!Great variety of flavors; the service was top notch; the place was clean. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

I'm sad I didn't take photos of everyone's ice cream, they made a dent into it by time I paid for them. With that being said, they enjoyed their ice cream and the waffle cones! Very cute fun old fashioned like layout! Very friendly employees ready to serve you when you walk in the door!

I scream ICE CREAM--Petersen's Ice Cream!Who would not stop by at this cute ice cream shop with a vibey atmosphere? The human-sized ice cream standing outside the shop makes it undeniably inviting.We got inside and indulged in some sweet, cold treats. We ordered a large serving with three flavors: Mackinac Island Fudge, Raspberry Rendezvous, and Sea Turtle. The Mackinac Island Fudge was rich and decadent, the Raspberry Rendezvous was a perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the Sea Turtle, with its caramel and pecan notes, was simply flavorful. It was delightful and incredibly good!There are many flavors to choose from. The best thing is that you can choose what size do you prefer: small (one flavor), medium (2 flavors), and large (3 flavors)--with a mix and match options of any flavor you want. The servers were friendly and patient enough to wait while we were still deciding which is which among the flavors. Petersen's Ice Cream, originally from Chicago, is famous as one of the best in the Windy City. Here in Arizona, it is making a mark as one of the best dessert spots.

Always smells delicious when you walk in. Especially when they are making the waffle cones. I got two scoops and they hit the spot on a very hot September day! There were 3 tables with people at them. I only saw two workers and they were friendly/attentive to everyone who walked in. I love how fresh my cone and ice cream tasted!

The perfect little ice cream shop! I have a friend who visits from Texas and we always have to pop in to Petersen's for a treat when she's here. So many delicious flavors and a nice variety. The shop is PRETTY and PINK and the staff ins very pleasant and delivers samples with a smile. The place was nice and clean with an indoor and outdoor seating area.

Little themed ice cream shop in Gilbert. For some reason Arizona has quite a few of these, so this was the 3rd or 4th one I've seen. Petersen's is reasonably staffed, and had quite the audience on a Saturday night. Interior design is great for pictures - they even have a mini claw machine right next to one of the tables. Only thing is the ice cream was very sweet - I got the Banana pudding one, and to their credit it tasted exactly like banana pudding. They also are quite generous with portions - a small cup comes quite stacked. Perhaps that was the problem though, because by halfway through I felt like the sugar was too overpowering. Enjoyed the wafer cookie bits and marshmallow fluff they added into the flavor otherwise.

I really love this place for both the delicious ice cream and the absolutely adorable atmosphere. Before you even go in the building you are greeted with traditional ice cream parlor tables and chairs outside and giant ice cream cone statues. When you enter it's all pink and white with pastels. There are ice cream cones hanging on the ceiling and a bench that looks like an ice cream sandwich. There's also a giant shake cup in the corner and stools at the counter, and pink vinyl booths. It reminds me of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor for sure. Of course the ice cream is absolutely delicious which is why you would go.

Super cute ice cream shop that is located right in downtown Gilbert. Employees are friendly and service is fast. They have plenty of seating indoors and a few tables outside.

This place is soooo cute! Stopped by to check it out and fell in love. The ice creams we got were the perfect amount of sweetness. I ordered a peanut butter one that was pretty new and not featured was the cookies n cream. Staff was also very patient and sweet and let you try flavors so you can make sure you chose the right one for you.

Always a pleasure coming in here! Glad for the oldies and a new photo spot! Already miss the ice cream sandwich benches :)
