Scooter’s

It's the middle of winter, and that has many of us dreaming of spring and warmer temperatures. Which, of course, means frozen treats!

scooter'sScooter's offers some of the city's best frozen custard, coming in basic flavors (like chocolate and vanilla) as well as a unique flavor of the day ranging anywhere from strawberry swirl to 'Belmont Avenue' (a.k.a. Rocky Road). This dessert really can't be beat, made fresh daily with less air and ice than plain ol' ice cream.

The menu also carries sundaes, Italian ices, cookie custard sandwiches, and the popular Concretes'loads of frozen custard combined with candy or flavorings like caramel, Butterfingers, coffee, hot fudge, or raspberry syrup. Can't decide on just one flavor? Take a few of them home in pre-packed pints and quarts. And if you must justify your dessert with an actual meal before it, Scooter's even offers hot dogs the way they're meant to be served: Chicago-style!

With treats like these, I'm definitely looking forward to warmer months. Scooter's won't be open again until March 7, 2008. *sigh*

    Oooohhhh….you HAD to remind me of Scooter’s in the dead of Winter. I Sooooo MISS them. I CRAVE them! I WANT my Scooter’s. March 7 cannot come soon enough. Scooter’s beats any other ice cream in Chicago!

    I agree. Despite the chilly temps outside, I can’t help but crave a good frozen custard…
