Los Feliz Gets Its Own Churro Ice Cream Sandwich Shop

Long gone are the days where we'd have to chase down Churro Borough's churro ice cream sandwiches at pop-ups and festivals. The geniuses behind this mash-up dessert have opened a brick-and-mortar shop in the heart of Los Feliz.
If you're wondering what a churro ice cream sandwich entails, think two crispy and flattened-out churros, almost like a moist beignet, with scoops of ice cream flavors in the center. These treats are the brainchild of Sylvia Yoo, who's worked in such famous kitchens in New York like Jean-Georges and WD-50. Along with her brother and business partner Paul Yoo (Mexicali Taco & Co.), they've finally launched their store together on Vermont Avenue, Eater LA reports. It's in the space right where the now-shuttered Ramekin once called home. It comes full circle because Churro Borrough did a pop-up at Ramekin last summer.

Not only can you get churro ice cream sandwiches, but also scoops of ice cream and paletas at the shop. The grand opening is this Friday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m., but they have a soft opening going on today from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. After Friday, their regular hours will be from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays and Sundays, and from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. They'll be closed on Mondays.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
