Scooter's Frozen Custard

This ice cream or excuse me "frozen custard" shop has to be one of the best in the city.  It's just so good.  Located at 1658 W. Belmont they have only chocolate, vanilla, the flavor of the day plus an Italian ice flavor of the day, but that's fine with me.  I think just a plain vanilla cone is one of the best things you can get there although the peanut butter sundae is beyond amazing.  The girls really love going here too - chocolate cones with sprinkles!  The website (scootersfrozencustard.com) provides a calendar with the flavor of the day and they take suggestions.  They also have an extensive list of what they call concretes and a concrete of the month.  Concretes are basically ice cream with a bunch of toppings blended in kind of like a blizzard.  Scooter's also serves the most adorable toddler cone.  It is free with the purchase of something else and is super small but perfect for a 1 or 2 year old.

There is a decent amount of seating inside but it can get VERY crowded.  There are also some chairs outside and a walk up window where you can order outside.  It is generally pretty easy to find parking on Belmont right by the store.  Scooter's is open in the afternoon every day during the summer.  After Labor Day I think they are closed on Mondays.  The store completely closes down at the beginning of December  and then reopens sometime in March.  Right now, however, Scooter's is perfect for these hot summer days we've been having.
