Petersen's is in my oppinion the greatest ice cream in the world. It has been a Chicago land and especially an Oak Park/River Forest institution since 1919. Their product is simply much richer and more flavorful than anyone around. Oberweis Dairy is good, but Petersen's blows them away when it comes down to pure taste. Also, a lot of people have said that Homer's in Wilmette is good, however I find their ice cream to be too icy and less creamy than Petersen's. My only complaint is purely cosmetic. The ice cream parlour could use a facelift, but as long as the ice cream is this good, I don't care!
Pros: Rich, creamy, classic
Cons: NONE!
