Those lazy, hazy days of summer... – The heat is on! Ahhh, who doesn't love Chicago summers, when mercury rises to and past 100 degree mark, the humidity makes your hair frizz instantly, and the concrete is hot enough to fry an egg. Being holed up in your apartment with AC blasting is not the answer. Enter Scooter's Frozen Custard, a tiny oasis of cool on the corner of Belmont and Paulina. I stumbled upon Scooter's while trying to avoid the scorching sun by taking shady side streets on my walk through Lakeview to Roscoe Vill... read more

love, hate, and frozen custard – When a friend and I found scooter's, I met my first "frenemy". I don't recall ever having a frenemy (an enemy disguised as a friend) before- at least not one i was aware of. Scooter's feels like a friend- I think it's Chicago's ONLY frozen custard shop. Being from Wisconsin, I grew up with frozen custard (the creamy, light, treat ice cream wishes it could be.) (By "light", I mean texture, not calorie content.) Thus I was delighted and struck with nostalgia upon our first trip to Scooter's. Wh... read more

Exceptional – If you have not tried this place, you must!!! I am obsesed with ice cream in the summer and I can't stop going to Scooters! The service is great and the Concrete's are even better. This is by far the best ice cream place in Chicago!!!

Scooter's is such a unique experience, that it deserves a unique description. Three years ago, I lived in an apartment directly above the store, and I watched Mardi and Denny work hard to create their work of art. Coming from Philadephia, I missed my favorite summer dessert - Rita's Waterice. Once Scooter's opened, I found a better replacement for Rita's. Although, I still endulge in some delicious Rita's Waterice when I go home, when family comes into town, I take them to Scooter's. Where to begin?!? The freindly staff, fas... read more

I'm from Philadelphia, where we have Rita's Water Ice, which offers great custard. Scooter's is not as good as Rita's, but people out here don't know the difference anyway. But Scooters is pretty darn good, and now that I live a half a block away, I have to keep myself from going over there every night! Yum!

Finally, good frozen custard in Chicago – Grew up in Milwaukee with Gilles and Kopp's frozen custard, and was amazed when I found out that other cities did not enjoy this treat. Finally, after years of searching, I've found frozen custard in Chicago. Thank you Scooter's. The store is very simple, so do not expect any elegance in decorating, the focus is on the food especially the custard. There is a normally empty city parking lot next to the library behind Scooters, so it is easy to drive up, park, grab some custard and hea... read more

This is what summer is all about! – Absolutely delicious! If you haven never had frozen custard, start at the top. Scooter's is a silky rich blend of creamy flavors. Try lemon--my personal favorite!

Best I've had in Chicago – I have never had a bad flavor. Owners Denny and Marty are passionate about the quality of their custard. It is fantastic and a must find.
