| - I'm not really "into" ice cream. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I just don't sit around craving it or ever really have it in my freezer. So, when I do go for ice cream, I want it to be absolutely fantastic and delicious and, most importantly, unique. Good ol' chocolate and mint chocolate chip are always great, but these new craft ice creams are like craft beers. I can't resist myself and I find myself disliking very few.
The first time we came to Churned, it was an afterthought after a nice dinner. I had room for more, so we stopped here and met the most wonderful ice cream master. She was friendly, let us sample whatever we desired and chit chatted just enough. I was immediately sold on the wasabi, so I didn't get too much further. It was the perfect amount of sweet and spicy. Such a strange experience!
My second visit, however, I tried a few more flavors and settled on the roasted grape and rosemary. HOLY COW that is the best sweet and savory treat I've ever had. I also ended up coming home with a pint of the pumpkin without even trying it. I just knew. And I was right. But I do know that next time, I'll be heading home with that crazy rosemary and grape concoction because I've been having mouth dreams about it for a month or so now.
I also really love the simplicity of the place. It puts more of a focus on the ice cream and your interaction with the staff and other taste testers. It's really a fun and delicious atmosphere!
