Burque Licks ice cream "shoppe" is officially one of my new favorite spots in Albuquerque. They offer 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. read more

This homemade ice cream shop is popular! There were so many customers when I stopped by a weekday evening. 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! read more

Burque Licks - Hot fudge brownie sundae (a scoop of baklava and a scoop of pistachio heath) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The curb appeal of this place is amazing! Love all the colorful tables and chairs in front; around the side by a walk up window. There's a great photo op out front too. I was a bit, overwhelmed by the amount of homemade flavors that they offer, but once I saw a mango habanero I was sold! The dip was incredibly large and the mango to habanero ratio was perfect! I cannot wait to go back to try other flavors! You order at one register and pick up at another. The servers were friendly and efficient, but it's very popular; you may have to wait a bit. read more

Burque Licks - Mango Habanero - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

They didn't really want to look up allergen concerns for me. Went grudgingly to the back to talk to someone and came back with 'you can't have -thing my companion was ordering-' when i'd asked if i could have /anything/ off the menu. So I asked about the most innocuous one and they were like 'sure, i guess'. Fam, my allergens are not a GUESS. I'm lucky mine are all gastro related but what if someone's were ER related?! That's nuts. If you have allergens I don't recommend here at all. It earned 2 stars because my companion's ice cream they said was delicious and unique. So go here if you have no allergens. Avoid if you do. read more

YOOOO what a find!!! This place is great. High quality ice cream very well put together dishes and ingredients. I had the hot fudge brownie sundae and the rest of my party had the banana split. The service is friendly and quick. Typical ice cream parlor vibes a little retro. Perfect on a hot day. read more

Been wanting to try this place forever and I finally was in the area so I jumped on my chance. Went around 3:30 pm on a Friday. I was able to get parking but there was a long line inside- it went by pretty fast though and the long line makes sense because the ice cream is amazinggg! I had a hard time deciding but I opted for the Holy Cannoli and Samoa. Both were phenomenal but the holy cannoli will hold a special place in my heart forever! Portions were huge and pricing was totally fair, especially in our current economy. My two scoops weee so big I shared it with two other people. I'll totally be going back! read more

Ice cream was fine, serviceable taste/selection/cone, but the business needlessly uses generative AI for all their graphic design. Total put off! read more

Super cool shop, super fun vibe and artwork. Service was good. Ice cream was good too but it was very very sweet to the point where I could not finish it. Still a good place, but maybe get one scoop. read more

Honestly I've been here twice both times were very similar. It is a busy establishment but it's not a bad thing it is clean inside and busy. Their products are delicious. My kids love the variety of cones they have. I love the vegan and gluten free options. Over all it's a great ice cream shop food experience I'd recommend. The door and the line are a little hectic but I'm not going to allow that to impact my review. read more

This is a really cute ice cream shop with really unique flavors. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The service was good and they answered our questions about the unique flavors. I got the apple crisp and it was delicious. The crisp was hot with apple slices. The ice cream was vanilla and delicious. My daughter got 2 scoops, one was churro and the other was pumpkin Oreo. The churro had chunks of churro in a cinnamon dulce deleleche ice cream. The pumpkin had a very strong pumpkin flavor with Oreo chunks. Bothe were delicious. The indoor area was very clean. The bathroom was clean, neat and fun. The walls are painted with layers of ice cream melting. It's worth the trip. read more

The ice cream is excellent. Even the cones are good. Just note they serve huge portions.

First time and it was great! I was solo, so naturally I got a flight (four scoops) to go! Super inviting place, lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Super friendly staff and they let you sample flavors before you choose. All the flavors I had were great! Cap'n crunch was probably the surprise of the flight, it was really good! Choc peanut butter tasted as expected. The peach was a little more mild than I was expecting, but it was nice. And the butterfinger was my favorite! I just wish they had a proper kid for the flight so I didn't have to put and open ice cream container in the freezer. ...I knew I should have just finished the four scoops, ha! read more

I recently tried this spot on opening day, my partner and I had been waiting for this spot to open up as I am a big ice cream fan. I say this to say that I know it's opening day so they are still figuring out the processes. We only happened to try the window service since we weren't entirely sure the process. After we had already ordered our ice creams, we decided to go inside the building. That's when we realized there's even a fuller larger menu inside. It was jam packed so we'll definitely need to come by to try other menu items. In terms of ice creams, I tried a vegan Oreo cubano and salted caramel. These flavors are RICH! I love Oreos in ice cream but wow they don't skimp on the amount of Oreos in it. I ended up having to save it in a bowl since it was melting and almost too much for me that I couldn't eat anymore. The waffle cone though is very tasty! All in all, cute spot and look forward to trying it again. Maybe going more for a sherbert or something smaller. Only rating at 3 stars because I can't do half. read more

It's the middle of summer, hot, and with the need for something cold. Lucky us, Burque Licks recently opened to find relief from the heat. The place was colorful, vibrant, and moderately crowded. You have the choice of ordering and sitting outside and inside, so choose wisely. We chose to get our ice cream indoors, but our table was dirty. It seems that most tables were. Everyone looked busy, getting people's orders and getting the out quickly. This may have been the reason why table cleanliness was being neglected. The ice cream flavors range from usual to exciting and we got a good range. The options are vast with cones to sundaes to milkshakes. I ordered a flight, which had 4 flavors to choose from. I got the raven, burque burn, mango, and honey baklava. The hubby got a waffle cone with m&m pieces and two scoops: banana pudding and unholy cannoli. All scoops were big and blasting with flavor and creaminess! The cone was definitely sturdy. My rank from best to ok were Burque burn, banana pudding, honey baklava, raven, and unholy cannoli. Of note, the Burque burn was mostly vanilla with a tingling addition of green chile that hit the right spots. Overall, we got a delicious relief from the summer heat in a colorful place that was buzzing. Other than the dirty tables, this place is already becoming quite a popular and nice place to go. read more

Burque Licks has outstanding ice cream! We stopped in on a hot Saturday with a bunch of other Burqueños to try them out. The employees were super busy but greeted us with smiles and got us our cones quickly. Indoor seating was full but we found a spot outside. I had a scoop of Samoa - coconut ice cream with coconut pieces and chunks of Samoa cookies. So good! My husband really liked the Cuban Coffee Oreo - delicious coffee ice cream with Oreo chunks. We'll be back to try more of their flavors. read more

I dropped in on a Saturday evening with plenty of a crowd. At first, I tried to order from the walk up window, but nobody ever appeared. So I wondered inside and entered the queue with two places to order for a time. Neither was manned, but eventually, I got through to make an order. I think everyone is relatively new behind the counter, but all very courteous and enthusiastic mini wearing "summer of no violence and 'Burque licks ' T-shirts, btw this is the only way I knew they were employees! Two hard-working guys scrubbed all the patio furniture after everybody left. Parking is a bit tight, but if you are patient the Ice cream all well worth it The creamy delight I had blue raspberry and chocolate chip cookie dough in a waffle cone. I think it was hard to keep all the new ice cream refrigerated well so they gave me a cup in case it dripped too much. This place takes some getting used to and is undergoing some growing pains , but it has a wonderful product that keeps everyone coming back and all reasonably priced read more

Love love love. The ice cream was so tasty and I love the vibe. The service was slow but not in a bad way. There were younger people working which made it feel more like an old school ice cream spot. The service was the kind that makes you want to stop and chat instead of just grabbing your ice cream and leaving. The ice cream flavors change frequently since it is made for the shop but I think it adds to the uniqueness. read more

Burque Licks - Ice cream flight - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

3.5 stars Came here for the first time on Friday afternoon. The decor was cute. Parking wasn't great, as the spots were tight for my truck. Liked that they had outdoor seating, but inside was very loud with a big group sitting in there. There was only a group of 3 ahead of me in line, but it took almost 15 minutes from the time that we got there to when I got my ice cream. Service was kind of slow, as there was no order as to which orders came out first and they stopped taking orders for awhile to decorate cones. A gal that had ordered after me got hers first, even though her order was a little more complex with a milkshake. The flavors rotate, which is nice and everything is homemade and unique. The ice cream itself was great. My dad got a scoop of the apple butter oatmeal for $4+ and I got a scoop of the pumpkin oreo and the samoa for $6. I was expecting little scoops, but I got two massive scoops in a cup with real chunks of cookies (oreos and samoas) in mine. Sprinkles are free to add on (and it was Halloween sprinkles too!). 2025 #58 read more

I came here with some friends when they first opened it and it was busy but love the decor inside. The staff were friendly even when it was super busy with lines out the door. Their lines are a bit confusing as there are two counters to order from and they snake around each other. I got two scoops in a waffle cone and it was so good! I came here a second time to show my husband the delicious ice cream and that experience wasn't great. I ordered from the outside window and it took me 10-15 min to get my order. First off, there wasn't a staff member at the window but I could see inside and made eye contact with staff multiple times but none came to the window. Finally, someone had come and said "I'll be right back." He comes back and asks what I want to order but there wasn't a menu at all so had to look it up on Yelp for the flavors. As I was looking at the flavors, he said, "I'll be right back, I need to take another order." He leaves. 5 minutes later, someone else comes and takes my order... it came out quickly but how are people supposed to know what they want if there wasn't a menu at all outside? The ice cream is great but the service is a hit or miss. read more

Lots of unique flavors open until 930, but even when it's not busy it is dirty inside and out. I want really badly to like this place, but the product is not consistent. A different size cup every time I go and I have seen a single scoop with three times more ice cream than served when you order a hot fudge sundae. This will be my last time for at least six months maybe by then they will work out the kinks. I was her last week we arrived at 915 and got our ice cream about 922 and they were kicking us out at 930 on the dot before we could finish our ice cream, so then we moved outside and within two minutes we were kicked off the patio seating as well. Only giving them two stars because Burque Butter Crunch is so tasty. read more

I'm an ice cream fan for sure and this place makes their own. Took the hike (not literally) to that side of town and the place was super busy.

This place was the perfect place for me and the family to get our sugar fix. Just what this part of town needed. I was happy to see it busy with other families when we visited on a Friday night. The flavors are creative--banana pudding, raspberry Oreo, Christmas Tree Cake--but I decided to go for the pistachio heath bar, topped with hot fudge. My ice cream was well-balanced with plenty of huge pistachio chunks. Pistachio purists might not like the artificial green coloring, but it was fine for me. Next time I'm trying the Samoa or Banana Pudding flavors... Yes, the service is rather slow but it's not that bad. The sit-down area was comfortable and clean. I love the old-fashioned decor. I can tell this will be a family favorite! read more

Wow!! That is the single word that describes this place. So many flavor combinations, so many original flavor recipes, amazing old school ice cream parlor atmosphere, and honestly, superb service. Parking isn't the best due to compact styled slots/lanes. Had the pumpkin Oreo, I am not a pumpkin spice person due to it being overly liked but this was phenomenal. Their Cap-n-crunch ice cream has to be one of my favorite ice cream cereal flavors of all time!!! Is so damn creamy yet mini crunches of Cap-N-Crunch pieces exist in a symbolically resulting in this smooth crisp texture. read more

The ice cream is delicious but not being able to sample all the flavors is super annoying. The service was well

What a cute looking shop. Nice to have a place to sit and have ice cream. They have a good variety of flavors and I wanted to get the dirty grasshopper but since we decided on a sundae, i thought we'd just get a cookie butter (which has biscoff cookie bits) and a guava carlota. Why the low rating? Hubs and I wanted a two scoop sundae but when we got it it came in a small tin cup. It looked sad but for the price we thought maybe this was the standard. Kids got theirs in a cup and it looked way better than ours and was cheaper. Other folks came in later and their two scoops of ice cream looked way better. I ventured over to ask what they got and they said it was a two scoop sundae! What?! I asked the person why mine looked the way it did. Did I order wrong (I was charged for a two scoop sundae) and person just said sorry. They did it wrong. And didn't offer me a new one or a credit. Do I want to go back? Not sure. Liked the variety of flavors but they don't really seem to be thinking about the customers. For example. they have a jug of water, but the cups are paper and pointy so you have to hold them the whole time! So weird! Heard the place is still relatively new, so I guess there is a learning curve to be had. Maybe I'll venture over again next time and just get a cup! read more

Wow! We'd heard this place was amazing, but I like to keep my expectations realistic. We were blown away! I couldn't decide, so they let me sample the pistachio, honey baklava, and unholy cannoli. All of which were delicious, then I took a left turn and ordered the Raven (black raspberry Oreo) and Aye Aye Cap'n--which is exactly like an ice cream bowl of Cap'n Crunch should taste!! Hubs had the biscoff cookie butter. Every single one we tried was creamy, packed full of flavor, and unique! Pricing is reasonable considering the price of cream these days--comparable to many other ice cream shops in town. Service was fast and incredibly friendly and upbeat. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, too. We will def be back even though we have to cross to the east side to go. Haha! Worth the trip! read more
