Churnt Creamery

This ice cream shop is a pop-up (probably permanent pop-up) in The Shops at Santa Anita. I loved the free sample they offered! The server is so generous in offering the samples. The croffle is the best we’ve had for a long time, warm and so yummy. I especially enjoyed the matcha and hojicha, both made with ceremonial-grade tea. The ice cream did not disappoint me either. Totally recommend for sugar craves!

So good!!! I have been here multiple times and always end up trying their different flavors. This time I went and had their Hojicha (Roasted Green Tea) Affogato and it was delicious. Perfect after a stroll around the mall! The whip cream on top was delicious as well. So glad this ice cream place exists and definitely recommend it if you are at the Santa Anita Mall.

Holiday shopping just got a little sweeter (and more caffeinated🔋) for me with the perfect pick-me-up’s at Churnt Creamery, located at The Shops at the Santa Anita Mall (aka the motherland🤭) in Arcadia, California, in the SGV.

To start, they offer free lactaid pills AND ice cream samples of their 12 artisan flavors. If you’ve never tried croffles (Croissants heated up in a waffle maker!) before, then this is a great place to start with 3 choices of flavors. I opted with the Oreo and had no regrets, especially with a scoop of their Spring Berries🍓

If you’re a tea snob like me, you’ll be pleased to see that they offer both Ceremonial Matcha (first harvest Kagoshima matcha) and Hojicha (roasted Japanese green tea) options as drinks or a sweet treat🫶🏼

Located in the food court of The Shops of Santa Anita, so it's easy to find (a small kiosk in at the opposite end of the entrance of the mall) and there is plenty of seating.

There are just one or two people working anytime I visit but it moves quickly as it's just an ice cream stop. I like the creativeness of the flavors but I haven't quite found a flavor I love yet based on the ones that I've tried. My usual is their affogato with vanilla and cocoa powder.

It's great that they make their waffle cones fresh but there is always a hole at the bottom, so despite how quickly you attempt to eat your ice cream, it will inevitably make a mess when it leaks out on you, so be careful if you're wearing your fancy pants!

A plus that they offer complimentary Kirkland Lactase pills!

A negative that they don't offer any dairy-free desserts. My husband isn't lactose-intolerant. He just can't have any dairy because it causes massive inflammation with his arthritis, so being able to have something while the rest of us enjoy our dairy laden goodies would be nice.

Very good espresso! I wanted a real latte. Not that powdery sugary drink that most specialty drink places offer. Pleasantly surprised by how good it was. You can see them make the espresso from the machine. Ended up getting a iced oat milk latte. Highly recommend.

A newly opened handcrafted ice cream kiosk at the Santa Anita Mall inside the food court. Not a huge selection of flavors, but their ice cream is creamy but not too rich or sweet. I recommend trying their hojicha and matcha oreo. The strawberry ice cream was needing a little bit more strawberry flavor though. They have $4 lattes during 11:30-1:30pm so can try their popular matcha lattes. My mom enjoyed their affogato

Very generous scoops, as many samples as you want, and the people working there were extremely nice, patient, and helpful in explaining how the menu worked. They also allow you to have cones on the side.
Would definitely recommend 👍

Saw that this ice cream shop just opened and has some unique flavors so finally gave it a try! There was no line when I came and it was empty, but this made it easier to ask the employee for samples. The employee was friendly and offered samples from the beginning. They had lactaid at the counter which is nicr, although I didn't grab any.

I ended up getting double scoops of the taro blueberry cookie crumble (7.50) and my friend got double scoop, one of durian and other of matcha oreo. The scoops were pretty big so that was good. All the flavors are a bit on the sweeter side but still was pretty good. I just got a bit tired of my flavor since it was two scoops of the same flavor. The texture is also nice and creamy.

This is overall a good ice cream shop in the mall and I would come back again!
