Ok I got so busy in here I forgot to take a photo of my ice scream and then before I knew it, I ate it all. There's so much to see in here! You won't get bored looking around. Note they don't make their own ice scream here. It's all Blue Bell ice cream and that's one of the best so I wasn't too upset about that. They carry a handful of flavors. Addison was behind the counter today and I was able to try as many flavors as I wanted to before making up my mind. She was patient and enthusiastic about being there which made me feel like I wanted to be there too! The owner, Allen, walked in while I was eating my ice scream and was friendly as well. He showed interest in getting to know his customers. As I'm sitting there the two were talking about plans for the events coming up. Sounds like this place is involved in their community which is amazing! Glad I stopped in. This was more than just an ice cream shop! read more

This place was fun! A bit chaotic and crowded by stuff but so fun. The ice cream was delicious! The kids ask to come here again but we were staying on the other side of town. I can't remember the exact name... I think wedding cake, anyway, it was delicious! read more

Ice cream: GREAT Employees: the BEST Owner: keeps the tips that are given digitally. Yeah, the ones you give when you click the little button on the screen after paying with a card. Owner justifies this since employees are paid over minimum wage and get to keep cash tips. Owner also got onto employees for telling customers about this. What a shame. read more

Super cool place to take the grandkids! The ice cream was good. There was only one worker and a very long line. Great little play area and you must visit the restroom while you're there. This ice cream shop was like a museum, so much to look at! read more

I just went in on Sunday afternoon. the service was amazing! both Nahomy and Avis were very kind. they took great care of my sister and I and offered samples, gave us details about the business since it was our first time in there, and made us feel very welcome. when I went to pay I asked if the credit card tips were given to the employees, and I was told they are not, and the business keeps the credit card tips. (they were unsure where the credit card tips go) id like to emphasize that I asked about the tips, they didn't randomly tell me this. great service!!! just make sure you tip in cash please! Thank you Nahomy and Avis!!! :) read more

The service, ice cream, and workers were all phenomenal! But from what I've heard, the owner is a real piece of S to work for, and now I just got confirmation that THE OWNER STEALS TIPS FROM THEIR WORKERS. I will never return to this shop or any of their other businesses, as they are a clear and entitled embodiment of greed and bad morals. read more

This is a great icecream shop for all ages. It is full of historic and vintage Knick knacks as well as a collection of radios and cameras. It's almost like an icecream shop museum! There are also toys, games and books to interact with while you eat your icecream. It's a really unique place and everyone should visit! read more

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! read more

Such a fun trip. We went to this little place with my husband's daughter and granddaughter, and we had so much fun. Ice cream was delish!!!!!!!!!!! read more

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. read more

Their environment is amazing! Makes me feel like a child again! Their ice cream is nothing special as they seem to buy it from a distributor instead of making it themselves. Service was extremely friendly. I would give them 5 stars in they made at least a few of their own flavors. read more

Quite ironic, literally reeks of bleach, but the place is filthy. Already was not planning on ordering when I saw the cluttered atmosphere. Nonetheless, I asked, do you have soft serve. The woman working replied "all ice cream is soft".. ok then, definitely not buying anything, sorry I struck a nerve clearly read more

"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!! read more

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! read more

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

This is the coolest little funky icecream place in town.. owner is friendly and fun, and the decor is maximalist. But its a great deal and a ton of fun. read more

The owner is a total hoot! He was the one serving and there was no shortage of jokes! Stop in for some lovely picks of ice cream PLUS a free topping (I recommend hot fudge). I had more fun checking out the collection on and in every nook and cranny! The old school EVERYTHING made the visit so cool! read more

Whimsical and warm, love this place! Truly unique, great vibes, glad it's within walking distance.

I took my husband to share a banana split and we had a wonderful time reminiscing while looking at the many items from toys to books to record covers that brought back many memories. It definitely was a "blast from the past"! The banana split was delicious and big enough to split between the two of us. Oh! and the music was awesome also (they were playing oldies). I definitely recommend this place to both young and old!! Gwynne C. read more

I was very impressed the flavors were wonderful the environment was very comfortable and family oriented I give it my 5 stares thank you.

Hoarder's paradise. No way they can clean all the clutter stacked from floor to ceiling. Suppose it's a child's paradise with all the games and toys, but felt like a germ nest to me. Did not order, will not return. read more

There aren't a whole lot of places out there left where the owner greets you like they've known you your whole life, but this is how Bill greets everyone. This place feels like you're in a favorite shop on a small town TV show where you're the main character. It's a little overwhelming when you first walk in - there is not a single inch of space in this shop that isn't covered in nostalgia, pop culture, and antique collections, but as you settle in it just feels like memories. It's decorated floor to ceiling but it's spotless. And then you remember it's an ice cream shop. Tons of flavors await you, many are the Bluebell brand (can't go wrong there) but I highly recommend the rum black cherry or go old school and get a frozen chocolate dipped banana or banana split! There are as many topping options as there are decorations. Imagine whatever kind of ice cream you want, and there's a solid chance they can make it happen. Just a truly delightful place. There's no reason to ever not grab ice cream local. read more

Wonderfully old school ice cream parlor. Great for kids, huge selection of flavors, and the owner is hilarious

This place has great ice cream, lots of varieties available, thoughtful and quick service, and a fun and funky atmosphere. We tried it for the first time the other day, and we got a banana split. It was delicious, and we were thrilled with all the toppings options. We loved our visit, and we will be back! read more

Cool store with very friendly staff. I was disappointed to find out that it is just bluebell ice cream unfortunately which to Me isn't worth the premium price. read more

Coolest retro ice cream place ever!! Run by your sweetest old geezer who is just happy serving ice cream to anyone! He calls everyone he serves "kid" too. But 35 flavors and 30+ toppings to choose from! They have malt milkshakes, which is what I love. I came here twice during my visit. The decorations are super cool here, and kids love it here! Visit this place! It was a great experience! read more

Just a great 17-year family owned business with a great selection of ice cream. The owner Bill is an amazing host as well. Took my littlest one there today and although he had a full house with a kids from "innovate" there on a nice little field trip...Bill still went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and that our ice cream/experience was top shelf. You just don't find this kind of warmth/service every day... Eventually the kids cleared out and we were able to get our fill of Bill's delicious hand-scooped ice cream. It was also well worth noting the amount of regulars that came in for their fix in the 30 minutes we hung out. This is quite the unique find...You'll see once you walk in...there's something for everyone to enjoy...from Bill's collectibles that is!! Well done Bill and amazing customer service. You leave no stone unturned!! read more

We used to come in almost every week when the kids were younger (and Mr. Bill still owned the place). We stopped in today (4/2/25) after kiddo's field trip, but hadn't been in for a few months. We were greeted by Adrianna, who told us about the special, huckleberry ice cream, in honor of Val Kilmer's passing. She made small talk with each customer that came in while we were visiting, asking what brought them in to the shop, etc. The small talk was reminiscent of Mr. Bill's playful banter with every customer (especially the kids) that came in. Kiddo got the usual: a kids cup with cotton candy and Superman ice cream topped with sour patch kids, while I got a small mango sorbet. As usual, the ice cream was a yummy treat. We spent a few minutes looking at the decor, trying to find something we haven't seen/noticed before. Kiddo played in the play area for a while, remembering toys we played with on past visits. We had a great visit and will be back again soon. read more

I wish store like this could be opened forever...it's a mini museum. You don't necessarily go for the ice cream there but go for the microcosm of the times. Thank you Bill. read more

Retro and fun ice cream shop (the hand-scooped kind) with kitschy decor and vintage trinkets around. This place will remind you of the ice cream shops of the 50's and 60's. Try a malted milkshake or a sundae with all the toppings! read more
