    Yum! I absolutely love how creative this shop is. You can taste that there's care in the homemade scoops! The employees are super kind and helpful- (not shy with the samples)! My favorite is the crème fraiche with blackberries- it's fresh delicious and super appetizing. If you know me, you know I'm a chunky ice cream girl and they deliver!! You can pick up pints in store too. If you haven't been it's a must try, especially with the hot days in store!

    Lovely place in a relatively unappealing industrial area that's actually pretty easy to access. Don't let that worry you (as it did my wife), Heidi's Ice Cream Shop is wonderfully situated with good on-street parking, nice indoor areas to sit and a really thoughtfully designed outdoor patio area that turned out to be a delightful place to eat an ice cream. (And it was being used - a quiet and in-every-way diverse wholesome crowd was enjoying the Saturday evening - it was one of the nicest vibes I've felt in Albuquerque lately.) And what ice cream! Served at the perfect temperature for eatability without a mess, there are cerebral and interesting flavors but not so many as to cause difficulties by slowing down the ordering. The three I tasted were (baklava, Adobe Road and green chile pecan) were so nice - great milkfat level, not overly sweet but with rich, vibrant flavors. Service was - believe it or not - every bit as stellar as the rest of the experience. The two young counterpeople were on-the-ball, friendly and so, so helpful. What a wonderful treat: I am sorry to only be discovering this wonderful place now. I eat ice cream so infrequently that I really want my experiences to be a treat, and I just can't think of anywhere serving ice cream in the metro area that provides a treat as delightful as we experienced at Heidi's. We will for-sure be back; I just don't see any reason for me to get ice cream anywhere else in the Albuquerque area.

    Just so good! Super cute shop. Super nice scoopers right when you walk in. The bf and I both tried a few flavors, I ended on brown butter piñon and blueberry creme fraiche on a cone with honeycomb on top. Everything about it was so good. I highly recommend the honeycomb. Was nice enough to eat outside by the water fountain looking at the Sandia. A plus that it's so close to Canteen, could be dangerous!

    Fall weather is slowly showing up, so might as well enjoy ice cream before it gets too cold. So we ventured to Heidi's Ice Cream shop for the first time. The place is a nice little refuge among the vast industrial area around it. People attending the shop were quite friendly and helpful. They saw our indecisive faces and offered the perfect solution, a flight with 4 flavors. So we followed their wise suggestions. On my end, I had the brown butter piñon, yuzu black sesame caramel, passion fruit cheesecake crumble, and jasmine tea and honeycomb. The range of flavors was restricted but there were some interesting notes in each. The yuzu gave a note of brightness with its citrus. The sesame gave a bit of roasted smokiness with a nice textured the piñon gave more texture and crunch. As for the Jasmin tea, it brought the whole ice cream to a whole new level. Hubby had the crème fraiche wild blueberry, the adobe road, and a triple chocolate flavor to add to the tasting. He also preferred the Jasmin tea, the adobe was second due to the spicy notes, the triple chocolate was scrumptious, and last was the blueberry. Overall, this was a nice place with friendly people who knew how to help us out. The creativity in flavors was interesting and the Jasmin tea was an absolute favorite.

    A true gem, never a bad scoop. My recent bad habit has been buying their pints and eating them at home with the raspberry jam. It is so good. Went in today to check out their fall flavors and I really enjoyed the pumpkin and the apple butter. You truly can't go wrong.

    Service was friendly and the shop is cute-- only 2-3 tables inside and about 5 outside in a cute gated and landscaped front patio. Flavors were unique and good but very turned off by the smelly water cups, smelled of sour milk... I think they were run through a dirty dishwasher then stacked without allowed to dry. I didn't see any other options besides ice cream like coffees or shakes as an fyi!

    Great first experience! I came toward closing time for a quick scoop, and the customer service was something special. Greatly appreciated the friendliness of both ladies behind the counter, and they were willing to give me plenty of samples before I made my decision. Heidi's is awesome because they'll let you split a single scoop into two flavors, so I chose Brown Butter Piñon and Adobe Road. The red chile marshmallows mixed into that creamy chocolate were a fun kick, and I'd love to go back to try the new Lemon Basil flavor. Cute patio with water installment and plants makes for a nice place to enjoy your cup or cone. Street parking was easy. Again, lovely employees.

    How have I not reviewed Heidi's before? I've done them for Yelp events but not as a regular consumer, apparently. I saw their new crème fraiche blueberry on Instagram and had to try it. The mix of rich, tangy crème fraiche and sweet, juicy, blueberry swirl was so delicious! I paired it with their lemon lavender sorbet, which was beautifully tart with just the right amount of lavender. My husband also had crème fraiche blueberry but went for Adobe Road as his second scoop since rocky road is his favorite. The red chile mini marshmallows and candied pecans with that rich chocolate ice cream is fantastic. The servers are super friendly and they have both a lovely, cool interior and a nice outdoor patio with plenty of greenery.

    Nothing beats a good meal like a great dessert. Even in the low 30's it's a good day for ice cream. We find ourselves in a light industrial area looking for ice cream. We find it in front of a Jam Factory. It's open and surprisingly busy. Seems we weren't the only ice cream lovers out today. We pass a vacant porch area, everyone is inside. Plan B - get ice cream sit in the car. 2 cases 16 flavors most of which are not in my ice cream vocabulary. After some time I decide 1/2 Baklava (pieces of baklava in vanilla) & 1/2 Wild Blueberry Crème Fraiche (blueberry ribbon in thick cream) My wife opt for 1/2 Earl Grey (made with tea) & 1/2 Adobe Road (think Rocky Road without all the nuts). It was delicious, and unmistakeable fresh. If our 1/2 scoops were any indication a full scoop is huge. We left with a new favorite ice cream spot on our list.

    We were in the mood for something sweet when I started looking for a place close to where we were or on our way home. Up pops Heidi's Ice Cream on my feed. So away we went. Located in an industrial-ish area in the front of her jam factory. Small seating area. They have a large selection of unique flavors. You can sample any. I selected the Adobe Road (their version of Rocky Road) and Earl Grey. Both were smooth in texture and flavorful. They have a nice outdoor seating area that would be perfect for a hot summer day. Limited parking but plenty of street parking available.

    We were driving around looking for some yummy dessert and Heidi's Ice Cream Shop popped up on our search so we decided to venture out and go find this hidden little Gem. Upon arriving we noticed that it was located inside the front part of "The Jam Factory." As we were sampling different ice cream flavors the gal behind the counter was telling us how they started the business first with freshly made Jams and then expanded into opening the ice cream shop. The shop is so cute and cozy and has nice indoor seating as well as outdoor seating underneath a huge metal awning. The ice cream was so creamy and delectable and they had some very nice flavors and some great choices. You could also add toppings and even fresh Jam from their factory to your ice cream if you like. I had the Adobe Road with some coffee ice cream that was so incredible. The adobe road was a mixture of chocolate, marshmallow and a hint of red chile if I recall correctly and it was fantastic. The coffee was also perfect in flavor not too strong - just right. My husband also loved his blueberry ice cream - he kept mentioning how creamy it was. We will definitely be back to try their other flavors. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!
