    Unique flavors! Definitely a must have to get great ice cream that's creamy and smooth. Can't wait to go back to try some other kinds. I got the salted caramel afratato? Basically the coffee with ice cream whipped cream and honey. Really enjoyed it!

    Cute little place with great ice cream! If you've ever been to Little Baby's (rip) in Philly, they're similar in the sense that there are unique, rotating flavors along with the usual chocolate and vanilla. We'll definitely be coming back sometime to see what's new.

    Very cute and small shop. Great staff. I wish there were more vegan options as there once were in Mechanicsburg.

    YUM! visited for the first time on national ice cream day. Inventive flavors with fantastic housemade waffle cones! Chocolate was great and their sea salt caramel is also fantastic. Very fresh flavors and the taste of the ingredients shines through clearly. Big scoops too! Affordable

    Ice cream was delicious, server was friendly and efficient, and restaurant was clean and cute. My only complaint is the size of the servings. I was with several friends and when comparing a two scoop bowl vs. a three scoop, there was no difference in the amount of ice cream. The one scoop was almost the same amount as well. I asked just to make sure she put three scoops in and she said she did. Felt like I didn't get my money's worth.

    Strawberry ice cream was the bomb. However, I came here for a mocha or latte but the girl said the machine was not working... but it claims that this is an ice cream and coffee shop, right? Strange that the espresso machine isn't functioning.... She appeared very unhappy. We were not given a welcome we came in the shop nor did she acknowledge our "thank you" before we headed out. Just overall rude and lacks in customer service and personality.

    I love all ice cream, still Urban Churn has the best ice cream! The unique hand crafted flavors made from quality, real ingredients. Mmmm

    It was a cute little place, and the ice cream was tasty. πŸ˜‹ The customer service could have definitely been more friendly, and their scoop amounts seemed small for the price.

    love urban churn and the unique ice cream flavors! it’s a little pricey but i’m happy to pay the price for the great quality and for a small business. the harrisburg location is notoriously bad at keeping their hours up to date, though. i’ve been disappointed a few times walking for ice cream after dinner to find out it’s closed with no updates on google or social.

    Cute little place, excellent ice cream! They offer interesting flavors as well as time tested classics. We had Starry Night and Apple Butter both were fantastic! We were served by Johnny, she was great and was playing good music. We enjoyed talking with her about ice cream and music πŸ˜‰ Go and treat yourself @ Urban Churn!

    Never open, even when it says it is open online and on the sign on the door. Employees stared at us with the door closed when we showed up an hour before close and could see them inside. On the few occasions I was able to go when it was open, the service was very slow. I keep convincing myself to give them more chances since I live so close, but it is becoming frustrating.

    Amazing!!! I think of myself as a mint chocolate chip and waffle cone expert. The mint chocolate chip at Urban Churn is my favorite!!! It's the perfect amount of minty-ness, the perfect amount of sweetness, and the perfect amount of chips. Also, their waffle cones are amazing and fresh. I do not live in the Harrisburg area and I dream about this place on a regular basis and stop when I'm passing through. My husband has tried other flavors (I can't get away from mint choc chip + waffle cone) and has loved them as well (recently had Hottie - it was delicious!). Also must add that the staff we have interacted with have always been kind and very knowledgeable about their product.

    Delicious, with lots of 1 of a kind flavors (plus all the classics). Finest savory ice cream I've ever had. Cute shop and Very friendly as well. I was a little worried about parking on a Saturday afternoon but it wasn't an issue for us at all. I can't want to go back!

    We really enjoy the setting and the selection of the ice creams and coffee. They stay open till 9pm which is great.

  • 4/5 Dan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty Ice cream, friendly people, definitely needed in this area. My cone broke and they plopped it in a second cone that also broke. Have y’all considered rolling fresh waffle cones on the spot to have the smell permeate the streets? My cone was the only less than 5 star part of the experience. So happy to have you on the block. Check this place out!

    The lady that works there is very lazy and hates serving ice cream, never has a good attitude. It’s a block or two from my house and I rather drive to Dairy Queen. This afternoon she told me they were out of milkshakes how in the hell are you out of milkshakes but you have ice cream and there a store attached to it if she needs milk I’m so confused.

    A lot of unique flavors, I had a mango habanero flavor scoop that was delicious and spicy. The staff were upbeat and friendly also

  • 4/5 Justine R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointed that having vegan options isn't a priority anymore. They are a great place, but I took my whole family and had to watch everyone else eat icecream, but there was nothing for me. They were my favorite because of the vegan options.

    Fantastic Ice Cream - love the environment in the Market, and the flavor selection is so unique and fun. The photo was scrapple ice cream with maple syrup - it was DELICIOUS.

  • 1/5 Neil v. 2 years ago on Google
    I can totally excuse an equipment failure. However, I cannot excuse the fact that after my party arrived, we were greeted with a "hi" then the lady disappeared to the back to prepare her personal beverage. Only after that did she come out to wait on us. Customer service definitely needs retraining

  • 5/5 Alec G. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great time here, sauerkraut ice cream was odd but delicious

  • 5/5 Court 2 years ago on Google
    The woman who works in the front was very nice! First time here and can’t wait to return to try new flavors! The lemon honey lavender is sooo good!!
