Churned Creamery Lake Forest

Churned has one of the best ice creams around.Super good and really fresh, robust flavors

Pretty cool how their ice cream just keeps churning, hence the name. Flavor combinations are good. Pick a flavor & then choose your toppings. Their signature Cro-cream which is basically an ice cream sandwich but in a croissant. Few tables & chairs inside to enjoy your ice cream. Not sure if we came on an off night but they didn't have much available. We got their salted butter caramel & the dutch chocolate. Good flavors, more on the softer side. Ice cream cakes & shakes available.

Great ice cream!!! Taste every thing!!Mint with Oreo! Yummy!!Lots of toppings and flavors

I've been following Churned Creamistry around since they first opened at the Woodbury location, then in Ladera Ranch and now finally in Lake Forest. I really love their strawberry ice cream! It's creamy and has a lot of flavor.

We had the espresso, Dutch chocolate, strawberry and salted caramel. They were all amazing. Everything was so rich and creamy. We loved the service and can't wait to come back.

It was a warm Friday afternoon and I had a craving. I drove here for some ice cream only to find them closed at 2pm (hours here are shown as 12:30-8pm). This did not make me happy.The following day I gambled and gave them another try at the same time and this time they were open. The fellow who helped me (the owner?) was sitting at one of two tables talking to a group of friends as I walked in. He immediately dashed behind the counter as I looked at the flavors to choose from. I forget how many there were, probably eight. They have their ice cream in metal mixing containers constantly churning. This makes their product softer than most ice cream places but not as soft as soft-serve.I chose espresso and salted caramel, two scoops in a cup. I was impressed with the generous size of each scoop. He let me know I could have one free topping. The salted caramel was the top scoop so I requested caramel sauce. He grabbed what looked like an empty squeeze bottle and worked hard to get a drizzle out.I felt odd to sit and eat at the small table next to his buddies so just took my cup out to my car. The salted caramel had an excellent combo taste of sweet and savory with the caramel sauce adding a boost to the caramel flavor. The espresso scoop was robust in flavor which I liked a lot. Due to the softness of being churned, both scoops did start to melt before I finished so having it served in a cup is a wise choice.I like the other locations much better which shows a franchise owner's decisions can really make a difference.

My intent was to get Vietnamese Coffee a few doors down but bumped into Churned. The place was empty but Marie greeted me with her warm smile and great vibes. I got to sample the Taro and Espresso, both very tastey and I can actually taste the flavors. I ordered my son taro and oreo with oreo toppings which he appreciated and liked. The best part about my visit was chatting it up with Marie. The shop, however, needs to be restocked. Note - this location is in a shopping center right off the fwy. Parking can be an issue during prime time hours as it has many eateries. Restroom is in the back and is fairly clean.

The owner was so nice and helpful. He continually offered us to taste and answer questions. The ice cream was smooth and delicious, kind of like soft serve, but maybe a little denser. There is inside and outside places to eat, but (maybe because we were half an hour before close) it was really warm inside.

Excellent gelato ice cream. Friendly atmosphere. Nice modern ice cream shop to hang out.

This was the most disappointing ice cream I have ever eaten. We went to buy a pint to take home and sampled many flavors. Each flavor we tried was practically flavorless or tasted very artificial. We finally selected the chocolate because it was the least offensive--similar to a fudgsicle. The folks at home could not identify the flavor. I feel bad because the owner was very nice and helpful. I think this is just a very bad franchise. I think the concept (individual ice cream churns from which the product is served) is good. The problem is the mix is terrible. Good ice cream should have cream, eggs and sugar. Check the image for the ingredients in the ice cream we bought. Here are the ingredient in Haagen Dazs chocolate: Cream, sugar, concentrated skim milk, liquid egg yolk, cocoa. I should mention that with the tax and tip, this ice cream cost over $13 for the pint.
