If you're strolling through Old Town and craving something sweet, **Old Town Ice Cream Parlor** is…read more*the* spot to hit! This place is pure nostalgia -- think classic checkered floors, vintage decor, and that cozy small-town vibe that makes you want to linger just a little longer. The staff were super friendly and happy to offer samples (dangerous, because every flavor is delicious!). Speaking of flavors -- wow. They've got *tons* of options, from the classics like Cookies & Cream and Mint Chip to some creative seasonal ones. I ended up with a scoop of Salted Caramel Pretzel and a scoop of Strawberry Cheesecake, and both were creamy perfection. And the best part? Totally affordable -- which is refreshing in a touristy area! This place nails that mix of charm, flavor, and value. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll 100% be stopping by again for another scoop (or two).

They serve Bluebell ice cream here and both flavors that we got were delicious! We got the…read morestrawberry cheesecake and the Moo-llenium Crunch (kind of like a pecan ice cream with vanilla and different nuts for texture). The prices were fair and the portion sizes were good! We took our ice creams to eat outside in the nice plaza courtyard next door which was perfect. Super friendly service as well! We were able to sample two flavors and decide which one we liked better.

Sad... classic place where they open and they are not even ready... that's not even the problem,…read morethis place is overpriced, and on top of it they advertise on their own signs inside the place at one price and charge it at a different price, the "torta de asada" sign says $12.50 and $15.00 for combo, they charge me $16 and I mentioned to the woman upfront an she says I don't know, calls another woman in the back and she says I guess they raised the price, do you want it or not? That was not the question, I don't mind paying a dollar extra, just take the sign down, and I told her then you might want to remove that sign that has a lower price... for a simple lunch do 2 I paid over $60 not worth it for the bad slow and rude service, do not recommend this place.

I have no idea what a typical Mexican paleteria is like, but La Michoacana could be it! They have…read morea wide range of snack foods from fruit to paletas to frito (and takis) pie. The place feels clean, though spartan and there has always been a nice crowd. The menu is primarily in Spanish but with enough English to help. We actually got a chuckle because the cashier told us our number of 54. We noticed all of the numbers were being read out in Spanish. So we're waiting, "cincuenta y dos... cincuenta y tres... fifty-four". When I went to get our food, I asked if they were told to say our number in English! Anyway, we've had their paletas before and they continue to be good. My wife's tres-leches was a bit too full of cake and not enough frozen cream but still really enjoyable. Especially since I just took hers and ordered her something different. My primary food was actually mango with chile and lemon juice. A bit pricey, but not unreasonable; especially for the amount of food. So if you're looking for some snacks, especially paletas, check them out.

Absolutely delicious sweet treat option in Sawmill Market!…read more You start by choosing a cup or cone or both, and I definitely recommend both because the taiyaki cone by itself can get messy! Next, you choose your filling for inside the taiyaki cone, and the red bean is really delicious. Then, they have several flavors of soft serve to choose from. Ube is the stand out choice! You get two toppings included with the price of the soft serve. The soft serve is really delicious and creamy, and the crispy chewy taiyaki is the perfect accompaniment! Definitely grab some soft serve here if you're spending the night at Sawmill!

Love this unique soft serve ice cream shop.

I was sad that they sold out on the taiyaki but we were happy with our little sundaes. Definitely recommend a visit.

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!

I'd been wanting to try Pop Fizz since last year, but with COVID was unable to! They were the perfect after dinner treat on a very hot day! We ended up getting the sandia (watermelon), raspberry and lime. Each one was DELICIOUS! The fruit flavor was so real and we kept trading so that we could have a bit of each. Definitely recommend the paletas. If you see that truck, run to it! We will hopefully get to try more from their shop some time in the future!
