    I like I Scream Ice Cream! It's a retro ice cream shop that offers huge selection of ice cream flavors (and toppings). The environment also takes you back in time to see all the fun paraphernalia back in the past. While the ice cream isn't homemade, I think this shop offers a good opportunity to just come and relax and enjoy your time with some cool desserts. You can get to try many flavors in a single order (get upto 3 flavors and a free topping in a cup!) The staff was polite and let me take my sweet time to decide on what I wanted. The serving portion was generous as well. This place was popular! I came in around 7pm and there were 10+ people coming in and out! Very nice and relaxing and just a cool environment to enjoy desserts! I would love to stop by again and love that we have this unique ice cream shop here in this university area!

    What a fun, quirky ice cream spot! The small space is part dining room, part retro toy shop, part coffee shop, part museum & lots of fun. Dropped in and enjoyed two small cups of ice cream (includes three scoops) and one topping. My son ordered Cookies & Cream with Oreo topping. I opted for Cookie Dough, Cookies & Cream and Moooolicious ice cream with waffle crumb topping. The service at counter and from owner were top notch and very welcoming!

    The owner is super nice and has so many flavors to choose from including Blue Bell, but also flavors from Michigan and New York. I love how he displays his collection and lets people play with some of the retro toys. There's also a great kids area which was perfect for my toddler. Like a McDonald's Play Place but better. One thing I am so thankful for is that I left my card there by accident. He had kept it safe for me and I was able to get it when I drove back the next day. Highly recommend to support this small business and get some lovely ice cream in a fun environment.

    "You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!" What an amazing find! Upon entry you'll see retro/vintage decor everywhere. The owner took their passion for ice scream, transistor radios, music, toys and all things fun to build an incredible space. The first we did was pursue up and down the ice cream display case picking our flavors. It was exciting to see the traditional ones as well as a few others that are less common like spumoni. There's also a fabulous list of the 36 toppings that they have here that is laying on the case for you to check out. We made our selections and were impressed to see the owner bill is the person who is making everyone ice cream. You could feel this man's passion for joy and how much love he put into creating a space to share it. That ice cream was absolutely delicious!!

    What an incredible spot for ice cream in ABQ! The owner Richard has tons of antique stuff, games and machines that would entertain the kids and adults alike. The ice cream was top notch a lot from blue bell which we appreciated as Texans and many other places. We loved getting to talk to the owner and learn his story and how he built his shop. Free topping for everyone and can have up to 3 scoops in a cup. We'll be back!

    Nice variety of flavors. The scooper was friendly. The ambiance is funky, with lots of vintage pieces, but kinda neglected.

    Heidi's has been on my bucket list to try for a while and we finally made it!…read more Such a cute little spot, plenty of inside and outside seating! Service was very kind and helpful with choosing flavors and letting us sample a few different flavors before picking! We tried 3 flavors Triple Chocolate Brownie Chip Vanilla Fudge Chunk Piñon Brittle And Creme Fraiche Wild Blueberry The Triple Chocolate brownie chip was a hit with our toddler My husband enjoyed the Creme Fraiche Wild Blueberry I tried a bite it was yummy. The Vanilla Fudge Chunk Piñon Brittle was delicious but did not mix well with the triple chocolate brownie would probably not order together again. Both delish on their own just not together. Highly recommend trying I do believe flavors do rotate not sure how often but you can check the website for current options! Great local ice cream shop!

    Go get some ice cream right now!!…read more Heidi's serves some awesome ice cream. They've got a variety of flavors (my favorite was vanilla with fudge chunks and piñon brittle, while my wife prefers the genmaicha) and freshly-made waffle cones. The interior is bright, pink, and so welcoming. The exterior has lovely seating in sun and shade. Don't let the out-of-the-way location dissuade you. This is some of the best ice cream around!

    This ice cream spot deserves nothing else but 5 stars! What a wonderful place to try out smal batch…read morehome made ice cream from this shop! The owners/staff were so friendly and helpful. They even let me sample some flavors that I was deciding between as well. I meant..it was just so hard to decide which ones to get...since I only have limited spacec in my stomach..but so many more enticing flavors to choose from! I settled with a double scoop: a green chile pinon scoop and a cran (berry rose)mary scoop. Dang..the scoops were big and generous..and the taste were so wonderful! I especially loved the green chile pinon. It does have some spicy kick to it..but wow...so unique and I loved it so much that the next time I'm going to have this scoop and try another wonderful flavor! Lots of parking in the lot. The space was clean ans welcoming! I just cannot wait to stop by again. Even today..I debated whether I should stop by for the second day in a row..but..hey..I have to try to be good and not have lots of awesome icecream when my new year's resolution (which I will likely fail) is to have more self restraint on eating yummy food!

    Went a little out of the way to try this place and I'd say it was well worth it! While their flavor…read moreselection is slimmer than some other local shops in town, their just as unique and adventurous. I had a honeycomb sopapia cone that made a hot day into a lovely spring afternoon. If I'm ever back that way, you'll know where to find me!
