Churn of the Century — Restaurant in Bailey

Stopped by while camping near-by after seeing their "Old Fashioned Ice Cream" sign on our way in and let me just say it's the cutest little spot for ice cream. It's a family run ice cream spot and absolutely worth a stop. They've got an old engine they use to mechanically run the ice cream machine and use ice/salt to freeze it. So it's truly old fashioned rather than just a gimmick (which was my initial assumption).

My wife LOVED the butterscotch cookie dough flavor and I enjoyed their mint cookie. I was also pleasantly surprised that their cookie dough was in all the flavors was gluten free (not a requirement for me but nice to see) and their appeared to be something for everyone!

Sounds like they're only open on the weekends this summer (we stopped by on a Saturday afternoon), so keep that in mind if you plan to stop by.

Looking forward to returning next time we're camping...

5 stars across the board! This place is such a gem. The ice cream is SO good. The owners actually make the caramel, fudge, dough pieces, etc you get the idea. Everything is homemade and it’s all been great. They are also the kindest people you could meet. Love getting to stop by on the weekends and seeing what different flavors we get to try next. Personal favs have been the birthday cake (offered every other weekend) and mint cookie. The machine itself is insane! It’s a massive old antique ice cream maker, very cool. Thus the “old fashioned” on their sign. You’ve just got to stop by and give this place a try, you...

Our whole extended family of 11 visited Churn of the Century while vacationing in Bailey, and we absolutely loved it! From the 3-year-old to the teenagers, adults, and grandparents—everyone found a favorite. My son declared it the best ice cream he’s ever had. We especially loved the mint cookies and cream, the strawberry shortcake was a big hit, and the pineapple dairy-free option was delicious too. It’s old-fashioned ice cream, so the texture is a little different—in the best way. It felt like a special treat for all of us. Highly recommend if you’re...
