50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Albuquerque

“This place is super awesome! Love bringing my daughter here, cute and fun environment with great staff always friendly! Overall this place has a fun positive happy vibe. Ice cream is great quality, may be simply blue bell ice cream but nothing wrong with that!“

“Our family visited Heidi’s yesterday for ice cream and had a great time! The staff was helpful and accommodating, and the ice cream and toppings were excellent. Thanks so much for a great family memory!“

“Originally, when I thought of soft serve, I would think of childhood haunts where we'd get hot Caramel drizzled over chocolate swirl and add on a few gummy bears or whatever little candies they had on hand.
Now, I think of ice cream with freshly pulled Espresso over top. I think of vanilla with roasted Hazel nuts and a touch or olive oil and finishing salt with a hand made toasted Marshmallow. I think of hot summer afternoons, at the end of a long work week, indulging in the sweet decadence of Pink Pony Soft Serve.“

“I could not believe how fast they were done with my phone repair! Such a professional job and they were able to tell me how long and how much it would be for other repairs they had to order parts for. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone for an Apple repair. I don’t know about Android stuff, but I’d try that.“

“I’ve been a fan of Crepe Brulee since they first opened, and I love that they’ve brought authentic Japanese-style crepes to Albuquerque! The staff here is incredibly friendly and always goes the extra mile to make sure every customer leaves happy. The crepes themselves are fantastic—I’ve made it my mission to try a new flavor each time I visit, and it has never disappointed. If you’re in Albuquerque and craving something sweet, Crepe Brulee is a must-visit!“

“I absolutely love this place! It gives you the feeling of a cozy little place that is a bit out of the way but then surprises you with the sheer number and uniqueness of the products they provide. All of it amazingly good!“

“Amazing place the man working helped me perfectly kept me and my friends satisfied and happy would definitely recommend“

“We love Ube ice cream and the neat cones“

“My family and I recently visited Olo Dessert Studio and loved it! They have the best variety of soft serve flavors, and they also have vegan options! I saw that they have a fresh assortment of baked goods as well. The vegan cupcakes looked so delicious, I couldn’t resist! They were tasty, moist and fresh. The staff is incredibly friendly and polite too.. Will definitely be stopping in again ?“

“Locally owned, homemade ice cream, paletas, and waffle cones, and friendly staff. What's not to love? A true gem.“

“This place had a good amount of customers when we visited. The staff didn't properly direct us as to where to order (the tablet) but kind customers helped us out. The interior could definitely benefit from a deep cleaning. The icicles product was tasty - Tea and Macha

Kid-friendliness: A little kids game machine is inside, as well as a photo opportunity with a cardboard elephant, and fun colored chairs to sit on“

“Best milkshake I’ve ever had. The staff is cool as hell“

“Best in town! Clean place. Staff is real friendly.“

“They are very overpriced cookies but I guess it is for the aesthetic? I will say you can tell all they hire is teenagers because the customer service is always so painful. They are rude and quick. It is always busy and I am sure they are stressed but I have never seen a worker smile when I come in. I recommend just baking cookies at home unless its their good ole chocolate chip cookie! I hope the managers look into better customer service training because you are allowing these teenagers to think its OK to be snarky in a work place.“

“Great tasting frozen yogurt... Toppings Galore.. A Must!! Wish there was one in Los Lunas“

“We came to try a Paleta and were so glad we did. We wanted a sweet treat and were not in the mood for traditional ice cream. This was such a treat. We got the Strawberry (half covered with white chocolate and graham crackers) and Hazlenut (half covered chocolate and nuts). They were so delicious, not super rich and not incredibly sweet. We finished them feeling very satisfied and not over stuffed.
The gentleman who helped us was so nice and helpful. His recommendations on toppings was perfect.

we hope to be back and try new combinations of deliciousness. This store is close to I40, so if you are passing through Albuquerque, this store is a great stop for a snack.“

“South Valley Ice Cream spot. Been coming here for ice cream in the summer since I was a child. Local family owned & ran for generations. Very respectful & friendly to customers. Fast service: drive through or park & walk up to order windows. Deserts only. No fast food.“

“great food and customer service“

“Amazing agua preparada and the corn in a cup u know what they got to many things to list i like just go and try it ? also do not mistake the fact that they have other locations that are called the same thing this one is the one you want to go to they make amazing food“

“Such a great treat! The staff was very friendly. Can't wait to try another treat.“

“Fantastic ice cream, and a HUGE variety of options! No online menu, probably because there's too many options! Outstanding service and the atmosphere was uplifting.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for the little ones to not be so crammed together and knock anything over.“

“Best tasting milk in this area, including their fantastic Chocolate milk!! I'm from Wisconsin and I love milk and all the great foods we get from milk. Gotta love the traditional dairy farmer and their dedication to our health and safety.“

“We ordered chamoyada and Frito pie. Both were really good.
Driving that place following Google map was complicated though since it tried to take us through a neighborhood and we found there is a wall in between the restaurant and neighborhood street!“

“Visiting Las Vegas from Texas and stopped here and don’t regret it. They had the best Pistachio Paleta ever. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Very friendly and offered tastings of the different paletas“

“Some of the best gelato I've had. This is now my go-to ice cream place. Many flavors to choose from, and staff are always patient and kind. There is some outdoor seating which makes it enjoyable on a cool autumn evening. Top notch frozen dessert!“

“Great place! Offered a 10% discount from our receipt at 505 fuego. Taylor offered terrific suggestions on choices. Give it a try! You will not be disappointed!“

“I really enjoyed the vanilla raspberry with chocolate shavings milk shake last night! It was super yummy and fresh, best customer service ever! The sweetest couple making the sweetest treats. Thanks for coming out serve up some tasty treats at the reggae show last night!“

“Thank you for the Paleta bar for being the best place ever to end a hike! So accommodating for our entire troop of Girl Scouts! We loved our Paletas!“

“I’m very confused to the recent negative reviews this shop has received. My family has been coming to this shop for awhile now and we go every chance we get. The staff is always professional, positive, and prompt. My daughter more specifically adores Rachel. She continuously goes above and beyond to make my children feel special. I highly recommend this shop as they serve various types of ice creams, drink flavors, and other specialty items.“

“Classic Michoacana fare - the aguas frescas are no longer made fresh though, not from natural ingredients anyway. My horchata was definitely a Klass horchata and not one made from rice. Everything else is bomb though so they only lose one star :)“

“Visiting Las Vegas from Texas and stopped here and don’t regret it. They had the best Pistachio Paleta ever. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Lots of variety and the staff very helpful. The chocolate is very good.“

“magnifica atencion, servicio e higiene en todo. lo q ordenes del menu sera de tu agrado“

“Shop local shoutout to this South Valley treasure! Excellent, yummy (affordable) munches whether you’re craving savory or the sweet stuff. There’s usually a bit of a rush right before closing (more than the liquor store, lol) Staff is friendly & food fantastic. 10/10 would recommend. #Albuquerque #smallbusiness“

“This location is like most Dairy Queen’s that have limited parking space. We came for the free cones, we added cherry dip to our cones. Service was quick, but I just be wary of how food is handled. I am very observant unintentionally, it’s just how I am. Overall experience was our first time here we give 4 star cause it did take awhile to get out of the full parking lot. And no gloves /hair net being warn by everyone behind the counter. That’s just basic food handling requirements.“

“Excellent customer service! Great staff !“

“Only people that is rule, is the people who have no patience. Sho me right.“

“If i were to go back to a n Baskin Robbins I would return to this location. It takes coupons. The other location didn't. Very friendly and helpful.“

“Quality, quality quality all around.
When a superior product is paired with passion, you receive a phenomenal experience/product.
Many small coffee shops miss the mark, riding trend waves....then fail. keep it coffee.
Mocha Joe's keeps it coffee, no outside cultural distractions to ruin the experience.
Only quality beans, roasts, and final products. It's the best Coffee this side of the rio grande.
If you're tired of Facebook moderator baristas.......come Mocha Joe's.
Thank you for such an unexpected, high quality experience! we will be back.

Vegetarian options: it's a coffee shop.....“

“excelente servicio todo muy rico 100% recomendado...“

“Great shop Close to Old Town !!! Ownership and management is great and friendly !!“

“Great for children and adult .“

“4 stars ⭐ I always like to come here during Miracle Treat Day or free cone day (can get it chocolate dipped for only 20 cents more). Regardless, the ice cream is where it's at. One of my favorites is the Oreo and what used to be the piña colada. The Jurassic blizzard they had a few summers ago was good, but not great. I would really like to try one of those peanut busters next. Food, not so much.“

“So many flavor options! Super nice staff!“

“clean, great location. Kids love it!“

“My Daughter love to watch Them Through the Window and see how they Make/Shape/Roll her Order!!! love the Pockys My Fav“
