What People Are Saying About Scooter's Frozen Custard
The Editor

In Short – Scooter's is on a crusade to convert Chicagoans to frozen custard: It's denser and richer than ice cream because it contains egg yolk and less air and ice. Scooter's makes custard fresh every day, offering chocolate and vanilla flavors in waffle cones. The Concrete blends custard with mixed-in candy or flavorings like caramel, brownies, Butterfingers, hot fudge, coffee or raspberry syrup. Kid-sized specials include sundaes, floats, Italian ices. Intelligentsia coffee and hot dogs are also available.

Fantabulous!

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, fast service, and the feeling that you get walking in the shop is top notch. Mardi and Denny do a great job of getting to know their customers, making little kids smile, and are devoted to preparing quality custard. The custard is amazing and is like nothing that I have ever tasted before. Whether you like simple vanilla or an "Elvis" concrete, I doubt you will be disappointed. The rich flavor, creamy texture, and variety of toppings are what keep me (and many others) coming back for more. Although I order the same thing almost everytime, the flavors of the day offer a tasty option. For most people, I think the hardest part is figuring out which concrete or flavor to order! No worries...since they are open until November, one can always go back for more. Whether you are in search of a cool snack on a hot day, a way to celebrate a Cubs win (the TV in the stop usually has the games on), or you are just looking for a new dessert - Scooter's is the place to go. It is simply...Fantabulous!

great custard

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!
