Yes please!! Scratch-made and unique flavor profiles?! No wonder they've won so many awards. We stopped in after dinner craving something sweet. Small batch ice cream popped up and after reading from fellow yelpers that Green Chile is the flavor to go with, we had to stop by. The green chili and the red chili with brown sugar were both unique and delicious. The red chili did give a big kick at the end. After sampling maple walnut, I was sold. I didn't even want to try anything else. Inside is very clean and the employee who working was very nice. He let me sample as many flavors as I liked and was very kind. Make sure you try before you drive through and regret it! read more

La Lecheria - Menu and awards - As of 4/2/2026 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Unique, off the beaten path (and maybe slightly polarizing) flavors like green chile, Chinese 5 spice, and red chile honey here. Don't get me wrong, there's also classics like vanilla bean, coffee, and chocolate sea salt, and I'm sure you'll find something you like. All in all, about 9 dairy based flavors and 3 sorbets. My coffee selection was creamy and flavorful. It's $5 for a single scoop, $8 for two, and $10 for a flight. Love the flight option, but there wasn't 4 flavors I wanted to try on this outing. Thanks Yelp for the ice cream heads up! read more

I did not know I bore any preconceived notions about what ice cream should be until they all melted away in my mouth with that first spoonful of Green Chile. Before I'd even recovered from the thought "these Green Chile maniacs did it again and better than ever but oh I guess to be a dessert they tamed and removed any spiciness yeah that'd be weirds" BLAMMO- that sly bit of heat going down- a heat that winks at you and says, "you thought they'd ever leave me out?" What just happened? What does it say about me that I ever doubted this flavor combination? How is a presumably at least slightly charred pepper so seamlessly integrated into such silky ice cream? Hold up- there's a red chile pecan too!? And I could go on about the red Chile's personality- the gentleness of the pepper's heat, the reliability and support of the pecan chunks but having both chile ice creams Christmas-style in a single spoonful is a harmony of seemingly disparate ingredients working together to be so much more. The taste reminded of what America can be when community prevails. To put it simply, tasting that ice cream has changed how I and some of my loved ones understand the universe. One week from writing this the musical phenom Bad Buddy promises to bring the world together to dance with his NFL half time extravaganza. Maybe the world will then meet up at La Lecheria to eat this ice cream. read more

Cool little independent ice cream shop. I wish they had more dairy free options but their offerings were good.

Good flavors - got a flight with the following 4 diverse flavors: chocolate sea salt, green hatch chili, red chili pistachio and mocha. All four had unique flavors. The best was the service. The young women who were working the morning of June 20 and the evening of June 21 are so joyful. They provided good suggestions and were delightful. Nice to see a store serve a good product and good service. Don't miss this gem. read more

Jasper, who claims to be the manager is rude and out of touch with the term customer service!! He is a mean angry person - why in the world, i wonder , would HE be working in an ice cream store Maybe the penitentiary more suitable ! read more

This shop gorgeous. From the painting on the wall, the color scheme, and the overall design, this shop grabs your attention. The staff was very welcoming, the bathroom was clean, and the ice cream was tasty. Lots of New Mexican ice cream options to include green chile and other New Mexican favorites. The ice cream is made with all natural ingredients. Would love to go back! read more

The ice cream here is out of this world. We eat here almost everyday when we are in town. Yes, we love ice cream. The young man that works here is so nice and very efficient. The line moves quickly. The Mint Chip and Sea Salt Chocolate are our favorite. It is mostly organic and they use fresh ingredients . You really can taste the difference. read more

I've been here a couple times now, mostly to get a scoop or two, but recently I took home a pint. We're getting to the end of a season, so they had a couple of the upcoming seasonal flavors packed into pints. I got the Harvest Tea and it was super tasty! It's nice that they open slightly earlier on Saturday to catch the Farmer's Market crowds. read more

Fantastic and creative flavors. Friendly service. Get the flight so you can try 4 flavors if you are indecisive like me. So good I went twice while I was visiting Santa Fe. read more

Super friendly service with an assortment of fun flavors of ice cream. The chocolate chip cookie is divine! A fun space to sit down and enjoy a couple of scoops of your favorite ice cream! read more

First time at this location and it was as good as I remember the other being. This location is more convenient, as there's on-street parking right in front. Walking distance from other great places like Second Street and Nuckolls. I had the red chile chip and it was great. read more

Every one of my visits to Santa Fe requires a trip to La Lecheria. The ice cream is the best I've ever had and the service exceptional.

Great ice cream made from great locally sourced products. My daughter has a severe peanut allergy, and we have to be very careful with ice cream shops (usually have to pass them by). Here they are very conscious of allergies and potential cross contamination, and my daughter and I felt very safe for her to eat here. The only potential cross contamination source would have been a few of the cookies, and those are not only separate, but they even have separate tongs for the peanut cookies. Very highly recommend all around. read more

They didn't have to go that hard--but they did. Red chile honey ice cream: spicy, sultry, and surprising. The women behind the counter were sharp, funny, and refreshingly honest. They were generous with the little tasting spoons while I settled on a flavor. Please don't steer me toward mid ice cream when consuming dairy is already a dare to my colon. They told me to not even bother with __________. A place that takes ice cream seriously, but not itself. read more

Great place! I love coming here every time im in santa fe. Good service and good ice cream! Workers are always curious and welcoming. Ice cream flavors are unusual, and change regularly. take advantage of it! The classic flavors are okay but the more unique ones are AMAZING. Ambiance is okay, small but cute. Would recommend! read more

The store is super inconvenient to get to unless you have already paid to park for shopping. I grabbed sorbet for my husband and myself. We got the mango chili line and prickly pear margarita. With the flavor names, I really wanted the flavor to pack a punch. Both were good but not sure they were worth the hassle of the location. read more

Cute little shop serving delish and fun flavors like green chili and red chili honey. If you can't decide, you can do a flight of 4 smaller scoops for $9. Really good amount split between two people. We also had salt chocolate and Ceylon cinnamon. But my fave was green chili, followed by the red chili honey. There was a bit of a line on a hot July Sunday afternoon but it kept moving. They also had some intriguing sorbets, plus "adventure" series... not sure what that means but may try it next time. read more

One Fell Scoop We were pretty stuffed after a great meal at nearby Tomasita's, but I can never resist some ice creams even if it's a chilly December day. The Good: *Housemade ice creams made with locally-sourced ingredients with the primary ones (i.e., eggs, milk, sugar) being all organic. *Creative and delicious seasonal flavors *Great customer service *Love the branding of moo meets día. *Ice creams were exceptionally smooth and full of flavor--especially the green chile ice cream, which is what really drew me in. It had that sweet, savory, spicy thing going, and I'm def a fan! *Outdoor seating *Great location at the Railyard The Meh: *Not a huge selection of ice creams but I'm just picking nits, as I'm sure there's something for everyone. The Ugly: *They're only in NM, and I'll have to wait for our next trip there to have more. Sadness. :'( TLDR: Fantastic ice creams and definitely at least sample the green chile! read more

Cute ice cream shop in the Railway District. The ice cream was yummy- I had the Mexican chocolate and my husband had the pistachio. The guy behind the counter was nice and was very patient with my son who wanted to try several flavors before making his big decision (he went with coconut sorbet). They charge extra for simple sugar cones, which seems a little weird, but they have free damaged, or 'sad cones', as they call them by the water dispenser which worked for us. read more

The Sweet Corn Ice Cream is a must. Very pleasant stop along the Railway in Santa Fe.

My girlfriend and I attended this ice cream shop shortly after having dinner. We were driving around downtown Santa Fe and found it and the sign alone was enough to get us in the door. We walk up and the place is ambient and has that kind local feel. We walk in and are immediately greeted by the welcoming staff who make it clear that we can ask for samples. My eyes dart to the Red Chile Brown Sugar ice cream, and I ask for a sample. It was delicious and I decide to get it before even batting an eye. The serving size was perfect, not too much or too little, and the cones were very tasty as well. My girlfriend took multiple samples which at no point did they make us feel guilty for. She landed on getting the Butter Pecan which was delicious with pecans placed within it as well. The ice cream being local were either made in house or somewhere near and it shows. This paired with a sunset and beautiful view is enough to want to go back this very moment! They have great seasonal ice cream flavors but also constant ones that could appeal to any person!

La Lecheria - View from seats at the shop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We were walking by and saw a line of people out the door, so we had to see what it was for. It was for a local ice cream shop, so we decided to join the line. There were ten or so flavors to select from. We tried the chocolate sea salt. It was rich and creamy. There was a sign they won the 1st place in Santa Fe for a local business. The only complaint I had , there were 3 workers, but only one was serving ice cream, one was working the register and the other one I am not sure what she was doing. With a line of 10 plus customers they all should have chipped in to help. read more

The ice cream was incredible. They offer free samples, which I would use to try out their seasonal flavors. They had Black Magic (chocolate and cardamom), pumpkin spice, early grey, rum raisin, and blue cheese with some boozy wine. My picks were black magic and blue cheese (which tastes more like a sweet cream vanilla than the overpowering flavor of cheese). The ice cream were consistently delicious. They have classics, seasonal ice creams and sorbets. Each cone is $1 extra and I would highly recommend it. When I went, there was a black waffle cone that was delicately brittle--the perfect texture with their light ice cream. SEATING: It was very much empty when I went on a weekday evening as well. There are some high tops and about 5 tables for small groups. read more

Be sure that you're planning to walk a lot on the day you go here because their lovely ice cream is both rich and irresistible. I had my favorite: coffee/flavored. Even though he's not a native of Nuevo Mexico, my husband ordered the green chile. He said it was delicious, creamy and not too hot. read more

Really delicious quality ice cream featuring unique New Mexican flavors. I tried the sweet corn, and green chile- they were both excellent and the green chile was inventive. I need to go back to try the red chile pecan! The sorbet was also very good. All in all a perfect treat for a hot afternoon walking around town. The service was friendly, and they were not sparing with the servings. read more

The ice cream's pretty good, and you can't beat the convenience of you're in the neighborhood for a movie or market. A single scoop is $4.50 and that includes the cost of a cardboard cup and a plastic spoon - but if you want your scoop on an earth-friendly plain cone, that's an extra dollar. I can see charging for a cup and spoon - but an ice cream shop that charges extra for a plain cake cone? Tacky. read more

exactly what i was looking for: a locally made, quick ice cream shop with quirky and unique local flavors. i'm a chocolate fiend, so i expected to like the mexican mocha more than the green chile, but lo and behold, i ended up going green. the chile is a nice compliment to the vanilla base, evening out the sweetness with some funky peppery tang and subtle spice. you can see the black flecks of the roasty goodness. service was super nice, and i'd definitely recommend this spot. my only qualm is not being able to get two flavors in a small size! read more

Service was great. I got a small cup of Lemon Lavender Honey ice cream and I thought it was delicious but I did not really taste the Lavender.

A very good experience at a local ice cream shop! We stopped by after the farmers market, and it was great on a warm day! I really like where this location is! There's a pizza place and a movie theater right around the corner. The farmers market and art market are there on Saturdays. They rotate their flavors regularly. I tried a pumpkin flavor, and a lemon sorbet. The pumpkin was a little sweeter than I'd like, but the lemon sorbet was refreshing. I think if you're in the area and want some ice cream. It's a solid choice. read more
