| - My wife and I went to Postinos and were given a flyer promoting this place. A few days later we were going to go out for gelato when we decided to try something different instead and drove over to Churn.
The parking situation was a hot mess with valet or parking down a residential street being the only two options. I am sure the neighbors are not impressed with the ramshackle of cars cruising up and down their street looking for a parking space. We were one of many looking for a spot. My wife convinced me this was worth the effort so I continued to look for parking.
After a few tries we parked down the street and made our way inside. The place is tiny, with an old style ice cream shop look but no "feel". The place is kinda sterile, but from the reviews others find it charmimg. Not sure why, the place is landlord white with glass candy jars filled with candy. Someone compared it to Farrell's but I would have to completely disagree. This place lacks the utter feeling of immersion of someplace grand, different, exciting that I remember when I walked into a Farrell's. This was more like blank ice cream shop with candy jars on display. Also if you get cold easily then bring a sweater, my wife was chilled after waiting in line for 15 minutes to get served.
The service was friendly, my wife ordered chocolate with salted caramel topping. The salted caramel topping was waaaay to salty for my taste. It tasted like caramel for a second, then you were hit with nothing but pure salt taste - like licking a slab of salt - literally. This ruined both the chocolate and the caramel. Her scoop was just plain awful and had that been the extent of our experience I would have given the place 1 star. Seriously, it was that bad.
I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and Madagascar vanilla 2 scoop in a cup with no toppings. They were both good, although nothing special. The two stars is based purely on the two scoops I ordered. Also I did have a bit of the ice crystal problem in my two scoops. I am not a big fan of ice crystals in my ice cream. It reminds me of the old box of 1.00 bargain ice cream one forgot was in the freezer but eaten anyway to cure that sweet tooth six months later.
I will also say my wife's one scoop was as big a serving as my two scoops. I was not a happy camper.
Over-all Churn is ok, nothing less-nothing more. My wife's ice cream was a disaster of flavors. Mine was small and good but nothing out of the ordinary. 2 solid stars. (See the potential 1 star review above)
In all fairness my wife would have given this place 3 solid stars based on my two scoops.
