Scooter's Frozen Custard

"Scooter’s serves frozen custard that’s made fresh daily. It’s usually a lot busier than the other custard shop on this list, and the interior isn’t quite as cute—but they have a convenient walk-up window, and the custard is thick and delicious. Get the PB&J concrete: vanilla custard blended with liquid peanut butter and black raspberry topping. Then, plan to make room in your kitchen for all the “liquid peanut butter” you’ll be ordering from Amazon." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

"Scooter’s Frozen Custard co-owner Denny Moore encourages his patrons to try a “parfait,” which is a layered mix of Italian ice and frozen custard. Moore blends his desserts how he likes them: Cold, creamy, and without big chunks of fruit. Patrons can expect one fresh flavor every day." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"Considered by many to be Chicago's finest custard, Scooter's brings the favorite dessert of America's Dairyland, a.k.a. Wisconsin, down south. Rotating flavors are made daily, and folks can customize their concretes and sundaes with an assortment of mix-ins." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"A staple for sweet-toothed fans offering some of Chicago’s finest custard and Italian ice." - Ashok Selvam

"The frozen custard at Scooter’s is thick and delicious, and is better than most ice cream. This cute little corner shop in Lakeview makes their custard fresh daily, so flavors rotate. But the very nice people at Scooter’s post their weekly flavor schedule 10 days out on the website, so you won’t miss an opportunity to get a cup of english toffee or chocolate marshmallow. Or get one of their concretes. You can make your own with 30 different mix-ins and flavorings, but the blueberry pie special or the always-available PB&J (vanilla custard blended with liquid peanut butter and black raspberry topping) are excellent. photo credit: Sandy Noto" - Veda Kilaru
