We've been coming here for years, and the gelato is consistently good. My family loves the wide variety of flavors, the visual presentation of each, and the ability to sample before deciding. My daughter even asked hypothetically if we could try every flavor. While we've never tested that theory, I imagine the staff would probably comply, though they might not be too thrilled about it. My only critique is that I wish the staff seemed a little more excited to serve their customers. I know it can be challenging for business owners, especially these days, to inspire and motivate employees, but I still think it can be done. read more

The selection of flavors here is really impressive and it's tasty gelato. They offer samples so you can be sure to get something you enjoy. But even their smallest size is pretty big - great if you're sharing with someone, thought. read more

Even on a cold windy day this place absolutely hit the spot. Got the medium size cup which allows for two flavors got peach and vanilla and both were so delicious. Creamy, full of flavor just everything you would want from a gelato shop. They had so many flavors to try I'll be back to try more for sure. Staff was awesome and this place gets busy so that should say it all. read more

Really good gelato with amazing selection of flavors. My go-to is usually their dark chocolate plus one of their berry flavors (they usually have at least raspberry, blackberry and strawberry.) Staff are prompt and helpful. Limited seating inside but most take it to go. Some seating outside also. read more

Me and my husband love getting gelato at least once a week. They have so many incredible flavors and so many options to choose from including some "No Sugar Added" items. It's really a one stop shop if you like convenience. They have everything from Gelato, Sorbet, Coffees, Lattes, Hot Chocolate, Espresso, some bubbly drinks and even cakes. The flavors are so yummy that me and my husband plan lunch dates every week just to come back and try something new. The morning staff is always so bubbly and nice and we enjoy our weekly visits. I do have to say that one evening I took my sister to check out their sweet treats and we were treated very poorly. My sister decided NOT to get anything even though we made a special trip all the way up here from Rio Rancho so she could try it. Unfortunately I couldn't convince her to choose anything because of the poor service and bad attitude displayed by the 2 young ladies working that night. read more

First time at Frost Gelato and it was exceptional. Loved that there were natural colors and no artificial dyes in the Gelato. We tastee a few samples before deciding. The pistachio flavored one is my favorite all-around, and it tasted great, but I went for the more fruity and refreshing flavors: Strawberry Champagne and Bellini was a great duo. My BIL hooked us up with mini cones that aren't normally offered. Frost Gelato is a great treat and has a nice quaint ambiance that let's you enjoy the weather from inside. It's also nice that it's not as sweet and heavily calorie like regular dairy ice cream. read more

Store front is inviting & clean! Inside Melissa, Sandra, and Sarah were some of the sweetest and most helpful workers we encountered on our vacation. They truly are a great assets to your team and full of energy. The gelato, sherbet, and bon-bon-style ice creams were unique and absolutely delicious. We sampled several flavors, and the team guided us with such grace, even sharing some of their personal favorites and recommendations. We ended up buying six ice creams and bon-bons to take home for family, and would definitely be regulars if we lived closer! Frost Gelato, please consider expanding to Colorado (Elizabeth/Parker area), Boston, MA, and Lake Havasu, AZ--all of these places would love your specialty ice cream experience! Five star deliciousness & service!! read more

they have changed the ingredients!!!! i have been coming here for years and the last 3 visits have been awful. two weeks ago the gelato tasted dry and i thought it was a fluke. then another visit with the kids in the neighborhood and the servings tasted awful. and today, again the gelato didn't taste the same---it tasted icy and wasn't creamy --the taste was awful and the texture was terrible for all three flavors. i asked and they admitted that the recipes have changed. totally misleading advertisement. the ingredients are not natural, they are filled with preservatives. i tried calling the owner and they never returned my calls. they charge $9 for what is suppose to be natural ---they are no longer using the same ingredients as before. also, caused stomach pain..... a total ripoff. they should be sued for false advertising in terms of ingredients. don't waste your money. store bought gelatos tastes better and costs less. this is not the original store that it was months ago. sorry that they decided to change the ingredients. totally deceptive advertising. it was comparable to italian gelato but no longer--why would they change ingredients and not post the changes? i am not sure if they changed ownership or if they just decided to save money and lower their standards and thus changed the ingredients. very deceptive practice! they should be sued! they can't be trusted in terms of their postings on ingredients. read more

I wish the woman waiting on me would have listened to my order. Two affagatos w double shots and ONE scoop vanilla in each. We received three scoops and possibly two shots of espresso in each... couldn't tell. Our bill was $21. (Should have been about $7 each). I should have returned them and asked for a corrected order... I didn't, but next time I will reiterate my order to ensure they heard what I wanted. It was delicious but I only ate a quarter of it! What a waste of gelato and dollars! read more

It's been awhile since we've been here - probably close to 2 yrs. Just like any business the prices have increased to reflect the increases in ingredients, labor & rent. The gelato is still delicious and nutritionally better but it is nearing $2 more than a similar size scoop of ice cream. The other thing missing are the pirouline cookies that used to be that used to be included. It started with a whole cookie, then 1/2, now gone. This 3 cent retail is a small piece that we miss. read more

Frost breaks the cardinal rule by heaping their gelato into mounds - a clear indicator to buyers that Frost uses artificial flavors. I don't see other gelato options in ABQ, though, so if you care less about quality than a sugar fix, this place is for you. Cashiers keep the line moving, so no need to be discouraged if the small shop is packed when you walk up. Think I'll just stick with regular, high-quality ice cream. Recs welcome! read more

I found myself craving ice cream after lunch here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We just had lunch at the sawmill market and I asked my friend, Where can we get some awesome ice cream? My friend says she knew a place. So without telling me where it is, not that I know anyway, we drove about a couple miles or so, we ended up here at Frost Gelato. My expectations for ice cream are quite low, since most places if not, I'll have straight chocolate ice cream without any additional toppings. Just pure hundred percent chocolate ice cream. Upon arrival, the store was empty. There was one lady that already had checked out. I was leaving the store when we came in. So I did like the ambience since it was quiet on a Wednesday afternoon around 2 PM. It was quite nice to be able to have ice cream in the middle of the day in the middle of the work week. Then again I was on vacation anyway. Do you overall experience talk about 15 minutes or so since I knew exactly what I wanted. The prices here were more less on par with what I've known for ice cream over the years. It seem to be tracking upward because of the 2020 COVID-19 inspired inflation. In the end, I decide to take a court home with me back to the hotel of here 100% chocolate ice cream. 25 It was pure magic for sure. I ended up paying for my friend who got a cup of something. I forgot what it was. It was a nice treat at the end of 6 mile run before I had to do a 50 mile run in another state three days after this visit. I guess ice cream helps with marathon training. Maybe. The overall experience here at Frost Gelato ice cream shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico was great and casual at the same time. I enjoyed the fact that they have multiple flavors of ice cream in the display freezers. I always liked handmade pints versus pre-packed pints where they just grab it from the nearby freezer. Freshly scooped pints are awesome versus pre packed. That's just me though, but I prefer hand scooped. The service here was definitely friendly and I think they enjoyed having us there, especially on a Wednesday afternoon at 2 PM. There was a couple of tables here, but we didn't stay since my friend had other obligations that day and we had to head back. ice cream shop was clean and very meticulously scrub down pretty much. It seems like it was relatively brand new construction for this store. For the most part though, it was definitely a nice treat for both of us since we ran 6 miles together on a public paved trail. And so, if you crave ice cream as much as anybody, like me, consider coming to frost gelato ice cream shop here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is great anytime anywhere for sure, even in the winter months as well. Definitely recommended if you're in the area and you can mix flavors if you want to, but I usually stick with chocolate, since that is my absolute favorite. Not sure if they do toppings here, but I didn't ask. Maybe they do maybe they don't. I don't know. Maybe you will know when you get here and ask if they do. Frost Gelato ice cream shop is located at 2201 Q St NE in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. On this day, though, I forgot my wallet, but my friend graciously paid for me at the moment, while I repaid her back the same day Back at the hotel afterwards. As far as parking goes, they have limited spaces for anybody and everybody who wishes to come here for a treat. If this parking lot is filled up, there is always street parking nearby, wherever it's available. If you like me, though, I am with my friend in her private vehicle, so as bad is to get local friends who are running to pick you up and drop you off. If you're not that lucky or fortunate, best bet is to have a car of your own, rent a car, or even better contact an Uber or a Lyft. They can help you get to where you want to go in a heartbeat. With that said, I had a wonderful time here, even though it was short and sweet, literally in a ice cream shop. Not sure if they have Wi-Fi here, but you don't really need to have it anyway. If you're here in the Albuquerque area, I'm envious because you have the ice cream everybody's raving about. Ice cream was delicious and definitely enjoyed it immensely. The court was so big that I had to split it in two sittings. It was that rich and ginormous at the same time. So so good, I would need to come back here and get some more if future travels permit for me to do so. Thanks to my local Albuquerque friend who recommended this place to me. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+ read more

Their gelato is amazing. I've tried just about every flavor and go at least once a month. Service has always been great and friendly. Location is clean. I just which they had a lot more indoor seating! I hate going from their nice indoor environment to a cold slightly dirty environment outside! Sometimes I have to eat in my car before taking off which I don't like to do. read more

This Frost Gelato is located at the ABQ Uptown shopping center, across from California Pizza Kitchen. My husband, our little girl dog and I came by here around 5:30 pm to meet a friend while we were visiting Albuquerque. She had suggested this place thinking that it would be nice to sit outside with our dogs while we chat. We ended up ordering: Medio (medium size), $5.75 prior to tax- My husband opted to get the limencello. Although with any of their size cups, you can actually pick 2 flavors. My husband usually doesn't take advantage of these things and so just opted for one flavor. I thought this flavor was okay and had quite a bit of lemon flavoring (lemon isn't my favorite flavor) that you could taste but I think I would have picked something else. But my husband liked it and that is all that matters. Milk Shake (grande size), $6.75 prior to tax- Initially these milk shakes come with coffee but because I don't like coffee, the employee who helped us said he could just make me a milk shake without it. I ended up picking honey lavender flavored gelato to have my milk shake made with and I really liked it. But I think the size was a bit too big for me and would probably getting the small size if I was to order this again. ----------------------- (Total= $13.49 after tax) Service was so friendly by the male employee who helped us on the day we visited (back in March). He greeted me when I walked in while my husband was outside with our dog. And then I told him I was just here to figure out what I wanted and that my husband will be coming in to pick what he wants and will pay for everything while I am outside with our dog. I liked how friendly he was and he just seemed to have a great attitude, which is whom you would want to provide customer service to. But the female employee working out front that day was not friendly or helpful at all. She seemed rather irritated and annoyed so I stayed away from her. Overall, we had a good experience and will definitely visit their location in California (at the Irvine Spectrum in case any of my California friends and neighbors are reading my review). read more

One of my favorite places to go in Uptown. I had the Blackberry Cabernet and Lemon Sorbet which were both delicious. The gelato ingredients are imported from Italy and made fresh daily. My sister had the sugar-free chocolate gelato and she said it was good. Our server Donovan was great! He was friendly and helpful and brought us a cup of water without us asking for it. The ambiance is quint. There are only a couple of tables so it's ideal to sit outside and eat which is not a problem because there's plenty of places to sit outside in ABQ Uptown. I would highly recommend Frost gelato! read more

The service was great! They were sweet and the gelato was delicious! I like where they are located because you can eat outside!

So many flavors to choose from! Each have their very own taste. If you're a first timer, they offer free samples. We tried at least 2-3 flavors and ended up with a bunch of spoons. Note, reuse the spoons with the samples! The names definitely match the flavors. We got the peanut butter and coconut and shared the medium size. This size was just right for two people (unless you want your very own). They offer water cups for those who get extra thirsty after gelato like me. While sitting down, they also offer call ahead orders. This guy came in and they already had his order ready through some app I'm assuming! The place was clean and friendly! I'll come back during the summer to get my fix! read more

A friend of my daughter introduced us to Frost Gelato. What a delight! We were in the Albuquerque Uptown area recently and wanted a place to have some fun and eat delicious Gelato. This is the place. They have a wide assortment of Gelato. You can sample different flavors before settling on what you'll eat. They have both inside and outside sitting so you can enjoy your Gelato wherever it pleases you. The staff are friendly and helpful. Frost Gelato is a must visit place. We will return as often as we can, whenever we visit Albuquerque Uptown! read more

The gelato itself is a 5 however the staff it's a 1. Not a single smile, all serious unpleasant faces at a gelato shop. They seemed bothered to serve customers, I asked if they were replacing some of the flavors that were out they said no, but as I was leaving they brought out the flavors I asked about. Every time I come the staff seem bothered to do their job which is unfortunate because the gelato is amazing. I came in around 5pm today. read more

Wow! Delicious Gelato! So many unique flavors to choose from (two full display cases of a variety of flavors). Popular place in the evening. I'm very glad that I decided to try this place instead of just going to a McDonald's to get an ice cream. It's located in a nice outdoor shopping mall area. It has several outdoor tables and seating and a small indoor area (only two tables with seating indoors). Definitely recommended to try if you are in Albuquerque. read more

Great gelato! You'd have to travel all the way to Italy for better gelato. And really, who has that kind of time?

My favorite gelato place of all time, and I have been to a great many across the U.S. and in Italy because I love Gelato. What makes their gelato stand out? I would say the smoothness of it. Every flavor is so silky smooth. They always have a multitude of flavors, which they change daily. My favorites-- pumpkin, green tea, and most recently roasted marshmallow. They display their gelatos beautifully, which makes them all the more inviting. I would highly recommend this place for a nice cold dessert on a hot sunny day. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening around 8:30PM, line was SUPER long! Went by quickly though. I wanted to try four flavors (s'mores, peanut butter crunch, mango, pineapple) but was told I could only try two, but one of the flavors I asked for was already handed to me when I was told I could only try two. So I was given three (tried all except mango). I really liked the peanut butter crunch, as the s'mores and pineapple flavors were a bit light. I was tempted to just get mango as well, but the cups were pretty big and I didn't want to eat THAT much gelato so just went with a small. I liked the peanut butter crunch, was smooth but it melted really quickly. Flavor was good, not too sweet, very peanut-buttery. Pretty expensive though. Has a bit of indoor seating and some outdoor seating, although it's in a plaza so if there's nowhere to sit, can definitely walk around. Good spot to hang out! read more

This was so good I didn't even get a chance to capture a picture!!! I met a friend for a little girl talk. It was quite slow at 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon. Which was good because there was parking upfront. I was ready to be disappointed because I just came back from Italy where there is "true gelato." My only complaint is they didn't have tiramisu flavor at the time I went in. This would usually mean I would give 4/5 stars, however:: I got the crowd favorite "salted Carmel" and also a scoop of "pistachio" with a stracciatella espresso on the side. It was so good! The nut flavors, salt complexities, and smoothness is as just as good as if I was standing in Milan again!! The coffee was out of this world, I just would ask that they get soy or almond milk in the future so they are fully vegan friendly. That being said there are lactose free options here, but if you want anything other than a straight up shot of espresso then they only have vegetarian options (whole/skim milk). Nevertheless, the gelato was amazing (and less calories than 2 scoops of regular ice cream). The location was clean. The staff was patient with me trying different flavors. The bathroom was clean. Parking was easy. 10/10 just as good as the gelato in Italy! read more

First of all. Let me just say it has been Hot recently. So hot, that a cold beverage just isn't cutting it. Nor is the ice cream. Gotta get that Gelato baby. Quickly, to the nearest Gelato please! They now have two locations! One in Uptown and the new new location in Nob Hill. Everything about this place is fun. You walk in and you see two glass cases filled with trays of gelato and the prettiest individual displays for each flavor. All the better to lure you in with. Don't be shy about tasting any of them either. They will be happy to give you a sample. You gotta find the right one for you! I'm a chocolate fiend. I always try a bunch of the other fruity flavors, but always end up going with the chocolate hazelnut. It's a winner in my book. I have to try a combo of two flavors, I'm just not sure I can finish a medium! The small is just the perfect size for me. One of those I'll come in feeling like living a bit dangerously, you just wait and see. read more
