Churro Station

Churr-up! Everything is going to be okay! Especially if you treat yourself to Churro Station! If there is one thing to know about me it's I have to try multiple options so starting at the bottom we have:

* The Classic with cinnamon sugar
* Dulce de leche filled with chocolate chips
* Cheddar cheese filled with bacon, diced jalapeños, and crushed hot Cheetos on top
* Nutella filled with white chocolate curls

The Churro Station is still pretty new and for a Saturday afternoon lines out the door were understandable. I promise yall, it was worth the wait and the staff was super friendly! They also had some different ice cream flavors that I'll have to go back and try, but a friend had blueberry cheesecake and she said it did not disappoint! So be sure to check them out and churr-up your day!

This little novelty spot at the Summit is always SLAMMED with people- think line out the door. But don't worry because the line moves really fast.

They specialize in churros and ice cream. They have a pretty extensive menu of ice cream flavors, but I'm here for the churros. Get one filled! A filled churro with Dulce de Leche is one of life's little pleasures. I've also had the Nutella filled, and it's good but very rich. The prices are good too!

I debated on whether or not I was going to write this review but unfortunately it's a health hazard so I have to.

If you go, be ready to wait because even with just a few people in front of us, we waited about 20 minutes. The layout is weird. Cashier and pick up signs should be switched especially since the churro station is right next to the register.

The churros were okay. The cold cheddar cheese threw me off and it's canned/jarred jalapeños. Bacon bits were the kind you buy in a bag. Weird the coffee station employee asked if anyone wanted anything then just walked away without a moment to answer for anyone in line.

I managed a dessert store that also sold gelato/coffee/fresh baked items so I'm very aware of health codes specific to the items sold at Churro Station and this is where my 1 star rating comes in. The male employee on ice cream station never once changed his gloves. He touched the gelato equipment, shook hands, touched his clothes including pants waistband, his hand, etc but never once changed gloves. The female employee running the coffee station was in and out if back area and touched everything in front but never changed gloves. The male employee running the register and churros never changed gloves either despite handling the churros and cash. The only reason I did't leave right away was because he used a tong to put a churro in a little box then filled it. Okay, at least he's not directly touching my food. The ice cream station was a mess and the scoops were not kept in health department approved container. No temperature gauge or clean water, just a crock pot.

I should have listened to my gut because just hours later, I was on the bathroom floor, getting acquainted with the toilet. Cold porcelain makes a terrible cuddle buddy but what can you do when the dessert shop breaking all kinds of health codes made you sick?

I hope they get it together as time goes on and actually care more about just getting people in the door. Maybe change gloves more often?

My son and I stumbled up on this family owned and operated business by chance. This cute shop has taken the perfect churro and made it better......SAY WHAT!

For a very worth it $5.50 per churro you can select your filing and their assortment of filings.

I enjoyed a Bavarian filling and topped it with their St. Patrick's Day sprinkles. The flavors all worked very well together, still allowing the cinnamon sugar flavor of the original churro to be present. Even filled my churro still had the crispness you'd expect from this delicious Mexican pastry. You might wonder how you eat this, I simply slid it out of the sleeve is served in.

The family that owns and operates this shop put a lot of pride into what they're serving and you can taste the love in their offerings.

They also do serve up coffee and ice cream if that's your preference. I definitely recommend a visit to this business if you're in this area of Birmingham.

Overall, the food was decent, but the experience definitely could have been better. We came in on a Sunday evening after shopping at the Summit. The place was PACKED. It took a long time to get through the line.

After placing our order for three churros, which we got to go, we didn't see them until after they were placed in the box and handed to us. Considering the line had now made it's way out the door, we just went ahead and walked out. When we checked - two of the three were not what we ordered. While they were still good, it was disappointing that they couldn't get the order correct - it was a fairly simple order.

We may come back, especially since we love churros, but we'll probably give it some time to work out the kinks / newness and hope it works out better the next time.

We came here on a Sunday evening. Not too late, and I thought we had waited long enough for the newness to die down, but we had not. The line was wrapped around inside and by the time we left, outside.

From our pictures you can see we ordered three churros. Two were incorrect/incomplete from what we ordered, and all three were stale/cold/not fresh.

I understand wanting to move customers quickly, but quality over quantity gets me back any day.

Great sweet treat spot! I was pleasantly surprised it was served warm! I got the Nutella filled and it was divine. The inside was soft and doughy and the outside was crunchy with a cinnamon sugar coating. Could've eaten 10 more

CHURR' ALL I NEED!

Churro Station has just opened their brick and mortar location at the Summit. The owners started off with a simple food cart/truck that they would bring to various locations around the city and even to some special events for catering opportunities.

Now their store front is opened to the public serving up not just churros, but ice cream and coffee too. It has been a while since I have had a really good churro. You have options on how you would like your churro. You can get it as a classic (cinnamon and sugar), filled with one of the various fillings, or filled and with a topping (gourmet). This gives the option to become as creative as possible with your churro creation.

I ordered a gourmet churro with dulce de leche filling and white chocolate curls on top. Sometimes I find it difficult to make decisions when there are too many options available, but the Churro Station menu is compact so it makes things a little easier. As I was ordering the woman at the register said that I had chosen a great combination which I prided myself with.

First bite and I was sold. These churros are the real deal. They are the perfect texture with the right amount of sugar to cinnamon ratio.

I'll have to come back here to get a little more creative with my flavor combinations. Though the one I had today was out of this world. Another thing offered in the menu are savory churros which can come with cheddar cheese and hot Cheetos dust, so even if you are not craving something sweet you can still enjoy this shop.

All in all, the dessert options here are delicious and there is a wide range of flavors and combinations to choose from. The interior is very cute and quaint. Some tables outside as well as almost a coffee shop feel on the inside. Service is fast and easy and the turn around from when you order to when actually getting the treat is super quick. If you are a dessert lover like myself, I highly recommend checking out Churro Station. You will not be disappointed.

Churrific! My wife & I made our 1st trip to Churro Station last night to pick up a little dessert. Churro Station is a new addition to the Summit. They specialize in handcrafted gourmet churros made using a family recipe.

My wife & I split a churro with strawberry filling topped with Fruity Pebbles. I have to admit, I was initially disappointed because I expected the strawberry filling to be more of a cream rather than jelly. However, one bite changed my tune. The filling had great strawberry flavor. The churro itself was super fresh, crisp on the outside with a nice chew inside. My palate was a little confused because I don't like cinnamon (which is definitely a strong part of this dish), but I did enjoy this churro. The Fruity Pebble topping added a nice, subtle fruity taste.

Churro Station's atmosphere is unique in that it kind of gives train station vibes. Though they were very busy & there was quite a line, it's organized well & the line moved fast. It's brand new & super clean. Service was friendly. Bonus points for Ono Poke being next door, so you can grab dinner & dessert (poke bowls + churros = excellent combo)! MEGA BONUS POINTS for being a local establishment. They also serve ice cream & coffee. A lovely addition to The Summit!

We came in on a drizzly Saturday night. The staff was very friendly and service was quick. The churro had a variety of options that you could use for fillings and toppings-we selected a Nutella and a strawberry filling. The atmosphere was marble and similar to something like an old time train station with the black/brass detailing.
The churros were a little thin but we did enjoy them overall.
