    Quite a remarkable ice cream shop that also offers Boba Tea, Coffee, and more. The service is excellent and the ice cream is very good. I got the waffle bowl, which was 8 dollars with 2 scoops, but it was so unique, I had to try it. The ambiance is hip, with music playing by Kage Ni Natte when I walked in the door. It sounded like a streaming service, and I loved the variety. There is ample free parking, but it took me some time to find the front door.

    Churn is a local restaurant chain that serves ice creams, coffees, and some other foods and beverages. This location opened a few years ago. The ice-cream menu lists several staple flavors of handcrafted ice creams as well as over 15 custom flavors that vary daily. These ice creams can be made into milkshakes, ice-cream floats, banana splits, etcetera. The coffee menu lists several types of coffees: drip coffee, iced coffee, frappes, lattes, espressos, etcetera. Prices are average. During my visit, an employee immediately greeted my husband and me, waited patiently while we selected our flavors of ice cream, correctly assembled our bowls of ice cream, and accurately rung up our purchase. I ordered one scoop of black raspberry and one scoop of caramel pretzel, and my husband ordered one scoop of double-fudge Pop-tart. We liked the flavors, but our pieces of pretzel and Pop-tart were soggy.

    Friendly staff, tons of flavor shot offerings for neat lattes and coffee additions, and nice sit down space. Ordered the bananas foster iced coffee which I think was a blend of banana crème and something else. Leaned sweet but I added cinnamon and some milk after trying it and it was perfect. I'll definitely be back to explore the latte selection!

    Ok so we were a tad bit late to discovering Churn. My daughter was at cheer and I wanted to treat my son to ice cream. We went to Gibsonia first and then wanted to try this one. This is our FAVE! So there is ice cream the there is ICE CREAM @ CHURN!!! OMG I think they use like super addicting powder and magical pixie dust to make there ice cream because it is the best thing I have ever tasted!!! There are few things I would compare to being as good as "adult time" with my wife if you know what I mean but this is definitely one of them. Now the price is a little steep in my honest opinion but it is soooo worth it. The servings are huge and often messy over the edges but when you get it hurry up and attack the overhang and you'll save yourself a huge mess. We have tried so many on their flavors but my favorite is probably the regular strawberry because it has such a real flavor to it. It is t heavily sugary or syrupy it's just a delightful ice cream. Second favorite of mine is the lavender vanilla. Sounds weird for something you'll eat but it is amazing to your tastebuds and light and refreshing! Almost made wax melts sound tempting hahahaha JK DO NOT EAT WAX MELTS! My wife's favorite flavors are the Oreo cookie dough and the lavender vanilla. My son loves their chocolate with rainbows sprinkles. My daughter loves the birthday cake and the cotton candy. My wife has gotten their lattes and said they were good but they are definitely a tad bit expensive. We also have had their tea sweetened and lavender flavored and it was delicious and delightful. If you are looking for handmade amazing ice cream drive to Churn, start with a single scoop and go up from there to learn what portion you like the best.

    I must say, Churn ranks pretty high on my list of ice cream spots. Nestled right outside of Pittsburgh, this place boasts a great selection of homemade ice cream, and other coffee related items. I think I might have the biggest sweet tooth out of anyone I know, and it was very much satisfied. As far as the flavors, there were a ton of interesting combinations that I'll be back to try at a later date. This trip I ended up getting a strawberry Oreo milkshake with oat milk. Not to be confused with the classic Oreo with strawberry filling but an actual strawberry flavored Oreo made into ice cream. If you are in the area, I'd highly recommend this place to anyone. Staff is amazing/super positive during these uncertain times.

    We stopped here this morning for coffee on our way to Beechwood Nature Preserve and actually ended up coming back for ice cream after. Churn has a seasonal fall menu that was just released this weekend. During our first visit I got the pumpkin pie chai latte at the recommendation of the very helpful girl behind the counter and, I kid you not, it tasted like a spicy warm pumpkin pie. I drank it slowly because I didn't want it to be done. That's how good we're talking. I tried my husband's apple brown cinnamon sugar latte and it was also excellent. I had the black raspberry ice cream and it was so creamy it almost pulled like a soft serve. The kids were totally silent while eating their ice cream which is always a sign that something is good. If you get a kid's cup it's served in a special blue cup with a rounded lid which helps keep kids' hands cleaner. If you're in the area it's definitely worth stopping in.

    A great spot for both coffee and ice cream. Two of my favorite things!! Great selection of both that change frequently, so each visit is a different experience. Ample indoor seating for a morning coffee and chat chat with a friend and a few outdoor tables to allow for an relaxing dessert to watch the sun set.

    Awesome unique flavors of homemade ice cream! They have a great selection of options, old favorites and new flavor combinations. I ordered the strawberry chocolate covered pretzel, it was delicious! The strawberry flavor was fresh and didn't taste artificial, there were chocolate pieces with every bite, and the best part were the pretzel pieces that gave a fantastic crunch. The ice cream itself is very smooth, not necessarily soft serve but also not hard serve. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to going back to try another flavor. Atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming and casual, but very modern. It feels like a coffee shop (which they also serve) where you sit, relax and spend some time talking with friends or reading. Prices are about average for homemade ice cream, definitely worth it though.

    Expensive just like Starbucks. Coffee should not cost 4 or 5$ a cup. You can grind your own at home and buy your favorite syrup.

Bella Christie's bakers and pastry chefs make cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and pastries. They even make custom cakes and event tables for weddings, birthdays, and other special events. Cakes are available in about a dozen flavors (e.g., vanilla, chocolate, banana, and hazelnut) with about a few dozen flavors of fillings (e.g., almond custard, mango mousse, raspberry jam, peach compote, espresso buttercream, and fruit). When I entered this business, I saw two display cases that were full of macarons, cheesecakes, mini cupcakes, cupcakes, cookies, and brownies. An employee immediately and kindly greeted me. As I was selecting my desserts, the employee carefully bagged and boxed them. She accurately rang up my purchase, and she thanked me. Here are my reviews for the desserts: Strawberry milkshake cookie - $2.75 - 4.5 stars - This cookie looked the prettiest in the display and had the most unique-sounding flavor. It was pink and had sprinkles and white chips mixed in. The cookie was a large size, and it was fresh and moist. I liked the strawberry flavor. Strawberry milkshake cupcake - $4.25 - 4.5 stars - Can you tell that I like strawberry milkshakes? :) This cupcake was a good size, and it consisted of moist pink cake that had strawberry pieces mixed in. It was topped with fresh, creamy strawberry and white icing with sprinkles. On top was a paper straw, and I put it in my mouth because I had assumed that it was white chocolate--oops! Lemon blueberry cupcake - $4.25 - 4.5 stars - This cupcake was also a good size. The cake was lemon yellow with a few blueberries mixed in. On top was a blueberry-flavored buttercream icing that was topped with two fresh blueberries and a lemon gummy. I enjoyed these flavors. Turtle cheesecake - $4.50 - No rating - My husband ate this cheesecake. He said, "It was fine." One additional thing that I noticed was that the plastic tray that held the cupcakes was type 6 plastic, which is not recyclable in our community. I wonder if the owners could explore other options for the tray.
