Phoenix New TimesAugust 5, 2014If you've got a sweet tooth after dining at the restaurant/bar Windsor in Central Phoenix, you'll want to stop by their adjoining sweet shop, Churn, afterward for some stellar homemade ice cream. Read more
- Phoenix New TimesJanuary 14, 20132012 Best of Phoenix Winner: Best Ice Cream! Incredible seasonal offerings but what really takes it over the top are the unique offering of ice cream vessels! Read more
Serious EatsMay 6, 2014This friendly shop stocks a dozen flavors at a time, ranging from chocolate sorbet to Peaches 'n Honey ice cream. Try an ice cream cookie sandwich, made with fresh-baked cookies and a giant scoop.
Peanut butter with salted caramel is truly spectacular! And the caramel is not over salted like other places. 馃崸
Cortney KaminskiNovember 18, 2013YUMM! I first went to try their S'mores Sundae, but I keep coming back to try all of their other fun treats! I am a huge candy fan, so the vintage candies they carry are also a huge draw for me!
Nydia AlvarezJuly 10, 2015I love this place! Their strawberry shortcake is the best ice cream dessert I've had in a while. Expect a long line and hard to find parking in the evening. But it's worth it!- Alejandra GuillenNovember 17, 2013Best ice cream ever and cutest decor ever! I like to keep things simple and order a scoop of the strawberry ice cream, but the Salted Caramel Lil Freezie was awesome when I had it!
Peanut butter and any fruit (especially blackberry) on a pretzel cone is a killer combo. There is also something to be said for the simple pleasure of a cone of their excellent vanilla.
- Nisha KatariaAugust 4, 2013The best dessert shop in Phx! Obviously they have ice cream, but their cookies and bars are so beautiful. and the flavors?! pretzel cone?! amazing little place! Super clean as well.
Laura G AdamsOctober 26, 2014The seasonal Hocus Pocus freeze and candy corn ice cream is fantastic! The Elvis is a good traditional treat!
Bill FairSeptember 4, 2011Try the Elvis! Peanut butter ice cream with bananas and salted calmer sauce. $5.00!
Joe JohnstonSeptember 20, 2011A newcomer, but a nice place. Remember their ice cream is creamy so the flavor intensity is not at the top end of the scale. Large scoops! Get a cocktail at the adjoining Windsor first.
Seth HoloweikoMay 16, 2015Incredible ice cream (with alcohol from time to time) and an incredible wall of old tapes in the walkway to Windsor next door.
Siera SantosApril 23, 2013Girl working here recommended a sandwich of chocolate chip cookies and butter pecan ice cream. I'm not normally a butter pecan fan, but it was DELICIOUS!
Alyssa HirschFebruary 3, 2017They don't have a huge selection to choose from, but the flavors they have are top notch. Their mint chip is great!
Veronica ArmsteadOctober 22, 2017Salted chocolate chip cookies sandwich with butter pecan is amazing!!! Fyi it closes at 11pm every day... it's wrong on google & yelp
Scott McKinneyJuly 24, 2018Some of the best 鈥�span class="entity tip_taste_match">home made鈥� ice cream in the valley! Always changing but always delicious 馃い
Alexander JrDecember 4, 2014You have to have to have to have the tiramisu ice cream. The toffee is the bomb.com. The egg no is really good too.
Nam LuuMarch 30, 2013Some of the best ice cream I've ever had! Very rich and creamy. unique flavors like Vietnamese Coffee are cool too.
huilineOctober 20, 2013OK can I love ice cream. Mint chocolate cookie and burnt coconut. Upward Projects set up a number of sister businesses next door.
Libby HagedonFebruary 16, 2013Seriously the basic vanilla is awesome. Delish in a waffle cone. Punch card = sixth ice cream is free, so fast for A reward card!
Brent ThomasJanuary 25, 2022Cute shop with great ice cream and variety of novelty candies. We really enjoyed.
Vianka VillaNovember 18, 2013If you love peanut butter ice cream then this place is perfect for you. The peanut butter ice cream is too delicious.- Phoenix New TimesJuly 8, 2013Served in a plain to-go coffee cup, a Churn chocolate milkshake doesn't have a striking appearance. But it doesn't matter, because the shake is cold and has the perfect icy texture. Read more
J ZoellickAugust 9, 2014Love the old time candy and the kitchen sink cookies and the Fat Elvis is really good
Shane WalshSeptember 30, 2013Good ice cream. The place is real small and the staff felt overwhelmed. The atmosphere is amazing.
Terry T.April 25, 2011They have some really awesome flavors like Vietnamese coffee. I really like the wild blueberry. But I was really disappointed by how small one scoop was--considering it cost me $3.
Is there a better chocolate fix in PHX than at Churn? I can't imagine anything beating the double chocolate ice cream...
Tanya TomassoJuly 29, 2013Friendly staff... Fantastic ice cream sandwiches. Probably why This place is crazy busy!
Cookie and mint ice cream - do it!! It's like mint choc chip meets cookies n cream only much better!
Eric Keosky-SmithMay 3, 2011Great sweet ending after a meal at Windsor next door! Butter Pecan ice-cream is to die for! 2 scoops for $3.50.
You can't go wrong with the Madagascar vanilla in a sugar cone
Vasundhara RayMay 1, 2016I picked Rocky Road and the rocks weren't delicious at all! My bad luck!馃様馃様馃様
ASU's Tempe CampusJune 25, 2012Has the feel of an old school candy shop plus yummy ice cream and coffee/tea.
There are only two spots in the front and 15 min. limit - might have to do the "complimentary" valet in the back.
Jesse Thomas FosterAugust 20, 2012I would highly recommend the affogado. Ice cream with espresso? Yes please!
