Parkesdale Market has been making Strawberry Shortcakes for over 30 years, but at the end of Strawberry Season we switch gears and bring out our “Summer Menu”.
Around April, customers start asking about their summer favorites: tangerine-vanilla swirl ice cream cone, peaches and cream and our Orange Milkshake. For 99 cents you get a creamy and tangy tangerine vanilla ice cream cone. Our “peaches and cream” is made with fresh juicy peaches, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. If you haven’t had our Orange Milkshake, I suggest you try it soon. We use our own 100% fresh squeezed orange juice and vanilla ice cream. That’s it. Simply delicious. You didn’t know we make our own fresh orange juice daily?
And for all you strawberry lovers, we make our Famous Strawberry Milkshakes all year long. Wondering why we think they are famous? The Food Network most recently dubbed our Strawberry Milkshake the Best Drinkable Dessert. What’s your favorite Parkesdale Summer Treat?
Ooh now I am really craving tangerine and vanilla soft-serve cone! I can’t wait til my next trip to the market, I’ll have to try one!
