Burque Licks ice cream "shoppe" is officially one of my new favorite spots in Albuquerque. They…read moreoffer 33 flavors, including vegan options, and everything I tried had this rich, gelato-esque texture that's super creamy and indulgent. The space itself is a huge win; plenty of comfortable indoor seating plus outdoor options, so it's easy to hang out and actually enjoy your treat. The staff? Super friendly both times I went. And yes... I went twice in one week I tried the banana pudding and the vegan strawberry Oreo; both were amazing. The texture is unreal, and every flavor is packed with delicious mix-ins. I also had the Cookie Monster (bright blue and fun), which was just as good. Pro tip: one scoop is MORE than enough. Seriously. Also, don't skip the dipped cones; the strawberry dip cone and Oreo dip cone are next level. If you're into rich, creamy ice cream with tons of flavor options (including vegan), this place is 100% worth it.

This homemade ice cream shop is popular! There were so many customers when I stopped by a weekday…read moreevening. I really liked the fun feeling...like a kid being in a candy store..except..this one was an ice cream shop! There were so many flavors to pick from....except it was hard to decide as there weren't images/glass window for me to see what the ice cream looked like (granted, they had a note posting that we could feel free to ask for tasting first!). I ended up ordering a hot fudge brownie sundae, with a baklava ice cream and pistachio heath. The price was VERY reasonable...and the serving was just huge...definitely way larger than what I was expecting. Now, I only gave it 3 stars..just because I felt the flavors could have been stronger...and I somehow found the ice cream to be wayyyyy too sweet that the sweetness came first as a flavor and kind of hid the actual flavor of the ice cream. I ended up throwing out 1/3 of the serving..because I couldn't really finish all the large serving they had..and felt it was wayyy too sweet for me. Parking is tight...so be mindful if you are stopping by around peak time after dinner/on a weekend!

(they were unsure where the credit card tips go) id like to emphasize that I asked about the tips, they didn't randomly tell me this. great service!!! just make sure you tip in cash please! Thank you Nahomy and Avis!!! :)

And I don't know what other parking lot there is other than the one that is located Thankfully, I was able to find parking at the time that I visited. I tried a Chocolate Chip cookie and a Keto Samoa cookie. They were both pretty good. The chocolate chip had a sprinkling of sea salt on top, which for some reason brought out the flavor more. I enjoyed it very much. As for the keto cookie, that was amazing! Had chocolate and caramel swirled into the cookie. I should have bought another one. I think I'll have to get it again the next time I visit. I received good customer service, which is hard to come by these days. Especially during this pandemic! This place is definitely a must try kind of place! I appreciate that there is a place like this to go to and visit especially during these hard times. Thank you! I'll be back.

On a sunny Saturday, there were a lot of people taking in the smells and sights of El Vado. RBC had a collection of cookie dough pops, ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, and several different kinds of cookies and bars. I got the red velvet ($2), oatmeal toffee ($2), and 2 of the keto samoa bars for $4 each. The samoa bar, although messy, had the right amount of chocolate (I love plenty) and the red velvet was soft, cakey, and big. It was the kind of cookie you have dreams about My dad loved his oatmeal cookie. Glad to help support a small business. Will be back soon to enjoy a cookie in the sunshine! 2021 #4
