| - I love it! I was there about 16 hours ago and I really really want to be there again right now.
Service was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, fun, and oh so willing to hand out the samples. It's nice to have someone say "we WANT you to try it before you order so you know you'll like it!" Of course, I've always had fun ordering at Cookie & a Cupcake so this is not a surprise.
There are so many interesting flavors. I wanted to try them all but I still had a tummy full of dinner. I sampled the white chocolate with black pepper (didn't make the cut for last night but I know I'll be getting it next time - sweet and peppery all in a creamy cool treat!!) The other two sampled and selected for my scoops were the Brown Butter with Lavender Brittle and the Pistachio. Not very wild choices but I'm a sucker for anything with a really good buttery flavor, I'm Irish after all, and I just can't walk away from a very good pistachio ice cream. Both flavors were delicious beyond expectation. Creamy enough to not break a plastic spoon but not runny like custard. I think my favorite thing about all of the flavors I tried (because I also sampled the Peach Crumble, the Coffee (can't remember the exact name), and the Madagascar Vanilla from my companions) was that nothing tasted fake. Every flavor was real, natural, and delicious. I would rather not eat then to eat something with fake flavor. Plus, the shop uses Hartzler milk and I think my version of heaven will include a bottomless bottle of Hartzler Strawberry Milk.
The shop is small and sparse but who needs tons of stuff when there is awesome ice cream around?? You might have to wait while people before you sample and order but we actually had fun with it. People in line were all talking to each other and the woman behind the counter and we laughed quite a bit. Ice cream should make you happy!
If you think what you get at Dairy Queen is real ice cream or if you like the assembly-line impersonal style of Mitchell's, you probably will take issue with the style of Churned. Actually, if you think DQ is real ice cream, don't go to Churned - your taste buds don't work. If, however, you enjoy fresh, real food and you love ice cream, you should LOVE Churned.
Oh, and the prices are not bad. The scoops are not small but not large. It's a typical ice cream scoop - the kitchen tool - would dish out. $3.75 for two of those scoops of real ice cream is a bargain in my book. How much do you pay for that artificial monstrosity called a Blizzard??
