A hungry girl's adventures in Cleveland and beyond.
Next up is a fantastic and fun blogger that really knows a lot about the Cleveland dining scene. If you ever want some inspiration to spice up a night out on the town, or to find out about the new cool spots in town, Bite Buff is the girl! She beat me to a much anticipated new ice cream spot in town. After reading this - I'm REALLY jealous and you will be too.
Enjoy!
Hi readers! I’m Katrina from the blog Bite Buff, where I share my
dining adventures around Cleveland. I just moved here four years ago, and I
love discovering what our local independent restaurants have to offer. Crystal
and I have a lot in common: Eating. Drinking. And our love for our city. So when
she asked me to guest post while she was on vacation, of course I said “Yes!”
Today, I wanted to share with you a new spot in one of my
favorite Cleveland neighborhoods- Tremont. The geniuses behind my favorite
cupcakes, A Cookie and a Cupcake,
have opened a new ice cream shop right on Lincoln Park. Tucked just a few
spaces down from the coffee shop Civilization, Churned opened quietly last week.
“R”, my boyfriend and the reason I moved to Cleveland, is an
ice cream fanatic, and has been not-so-patiently awaiting its grand opening. If
he could eat ice cream every day, he would. With a recent stop at Sweetie Fry
in Cleveland Heights for the first time, his excitement over having a similar
joint close to home was at an all time high.
Luckily, they did not disappoint. They had several interesting
flavors of ice cream and two gelatos available, and they let you sample as many
as you’d like. Trust me, making a decision is tough and you’ll need to try
several small bites first!
A “regular” size includes two scoops, and they allow you to
mix the flavors. This, I appreciated. I decided to go with the Smokey Chocolate with Salty Almond Brittle,
and a scoop of the Maple Bacon with
French Toast.
The chocolate was not too rich, and the few bites that
included crumbled pieces of the almond brittle were great. Overall, it did
leave you with a slightly smokey after-taste in your mouth. Some of the other
flavors that I had sampled were a little more unique, and I’d probably try
something new before ordering this again. However, the Maple Bacon with French
Toast was dee-lish! Real crumbles of bacon throughout and a strong maple
flavor. I didn’t quite taste the
French toast, but there were pieces of what I assume were “French toast” bites in
the ice cream. I would order this again in a heartbeat, although I did prefer
Sweetie Fry’s version. “R’s” favorite was the Carrot Cake, which really did taste like carrot cake.
Churned is a wonderful addition to the area, and I can see
us stopping in for a treat after dining in the neighborhood. Tremont is one of
my favorite food areas in Cleveland, and you shouldn’t miss the Tremont Tap
House, Fat Cats, Fahrenheit, Lava Lounge, and Lolita (just to name a few). Now you can stop in for your sweets fix at Churned afterwards. Welcome to the
neighborhood, Churned!
