Churn Ice Cream is a fun little spot in Phoenix. I love the vibe of this small shop. It’s got that old-school ice cream parlor feel that’s both nostalgic and unique. On top of the delicious ice cream, they have a bunch of cool items for sale like retro toys and vintage candies that really add to the charm of the place. I tried the peanut butter flavor during my visit and it was excellent, rich, creamy, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality in their ice cream, and there are so many great flavors I still want to go back and try. The only small downside was the energy from the staff. It was midday on a Friday and there was just one person working who didn’t seem all that enthusiastic. It wasn’t a big deal, but it stood out a little given how fun and inviting the space itself is. That said, the ice cream speaks for itself. I’d definitely go back and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a cool spot to satisfy their sweet tooth.

What I REALLY love about this place is that it’s a cute little ice cream shop. What I really despise about it? It’s a little ice cream shop. It’s big enough to walk through and order. The line starts out front so often times people enter through the back not realising there’s a line out front which can be frustrating sometimes because you HAVE to wait out front if the line is long. Seating is only outside, a few tables in front and out back, as I said it is very limited. BUT the ice cream is FANTASTIC! My favorite is the Butter Pecan. I get it every time, and most times in a pretzel cone!!!! Gotta love the sweet and salty combo. They have a smaller selection of flavors, maybe 10-12 but they do also have seasonal flavors that change up. They also have candy and other treats too (cookies, brownies, etc.) You can also order the ice cream to your table if you eat near door at Windsor which is what we typically do.

I swung by Churn one night in desperate need of a pick-me-up—and let’s just say, it delivered big time. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I’d stepped into a modern-day twist on an old-fashioned soda fountain, minus the paper hats (but with way better lighting and air conditioning). The menu is a dream for indecisive dessert lovers: you can choose from their wildly tempting signature concoctions or go rogue and build your own ice cream masterpiece. Either way, there are no wrong choices—just cold, creamy joy in every bite. When the weather’s nice (read: anything under 100 degrees in Phoenix), the patio out back is the perfect spot to sit, savor, and pretend you’re in a rom-com montage. Whether you’re nursing a rough day or just chasing a sweet tooth, Churn is the kind of place that makes everything feel a little brighter—and a lot tastier.

So BuzzFeed listed this place as one of the 27 must visit ice cream shops before you die. I don't think this place should have made the cut. It's good but, not amazing good.

I was in town with my family helping my sister move in for school. I was really excited to try this place after seeing the list on BuzzFeed. I LOVE ICE CREAM! I could eat it everyday!

What We Ordered Ice Cream Sandwich: 2 Cookies (Kitchen Sink and Chocolate Chunk) with 2 Ice Cream Flavors (Cookies & Mint and The Stout) Fat Elvis Sundae S'Mores Sundae

I got the ice cream sandwich. The Cookies & Mint and The Stout was a good combo together! I could have done without the cookies. The Staff recommended me getting the ice cream sandwich instead of the cone. The cookies were not that good. The Kitchen Sink Cookie was super hard!!! Not a fan of hard cookies...and no, they were not hard because of the cold ice cream. The Chocolate Chunk Cookie was really moist but too salty. I really like sea salt chocolate type cookies but this just had too much salt. :( I was really sad... I usually love cookies too. $5 for basically just the ice cream, not worth it. :(

My sister's boyfriend got the Fat Elvis. He seemed to enjoy it. My sister LOVED her S'Mores Sundae but she wished there were more Graham crackers in it.

I did not like the fact that there were no inside seating. Arizona is super hot. Why would there not be any indoor seating?! They had tables outside but there were a bunch of flies flying around back there. :(

-1 STAR for hard/salty cookies -0.5 STAR no indoor seating and they limit the amount of...

TLTR: Crowded chaos, and out of multiple toppings. Not a great experience. Although the ice cream itself was good, it is hard to mess up ice cream. The store is pretty small and there was a line out the door when we went. There is seating out back so while you are standing in line there are people going back out the front and you are constantly moving out of the way. They didnt have the sweet cream on the board for flavors like they did online and in the pamphlet in the store. They were out of the toffee sauce too which were the only things I wanted. My luck. My boyfriend got the strawberry shortcake, and they were out of strawberry sauce. The once piece of shortcake he got was really hard. Behind the desk seems a little chaotic. One guy took my order, the girl at the register asked for my order again and took my boyfriends order, the guy got my ice cream the girl got my boyfriends ice cream. there were 3 people and everyone was just bouncing around doing everything, everyone is at the register, everyone is getting the ice cream, everyone is getting the toppings. It would be easier and more efficient if they were like places like subway or Chipotle. One person scoops, slides your ice cream to the next person who adds the toppings, or makes it a shake ect, then gives it to the person at the...

Still good.....but, something's changed. Churn is a longtime favorite for our family and a no-brainer stop after dinner across the street at another staple, Federal Pizza. Most things are still amazingly delicious but we've noticed some changes in a few of the things that we'll gladly drive more than 30 mins across town to enjoy.

The brownies are now 1/3 the size they used to be. Perfectly appropriate to top an ice cream concoction with but as a stand alone treat they're now more of two bite teaser for the same cost.

The most disappointing for me was the change in the hot fudge. The homemade from scratch, dark chocolate & butter melted in a double boiler liquid gold is, apparently, no more. This stuff was legendary and I would occasionally be satisfied to just savor a few pumps in a cup with a spoon. They've switched to the same corn syrupy, gloppy, goopy stuff you can get just about anywhere. Disappointing!

Churn is still a unique and special ice cream shoppe with some of the best ice cream, desserts, charm and nostalgia in the valley but the changes we've noticed have dampened our enthusiasm a bit. We hope this isn't a significant shift in...
