This place is awesome. The customer service is 1000%!!!! It’s a fun and unique place that is very reasonably priced. They serve Blue Bell ice cream and have plenty of options to choose from as well as a gazillion topping options. The play area has so many toy and game options for the kids to play with. My kids had a blast. This is DEFINITELY a place to visit again and again!

Great ice cream. Shakes the old fashioned way. Amazing choice of flavors ie: huckleberry, southern BlackBerry cobbler. Retro sensory overload in decoration, but so fun to look at and brought back so many memories. Will definitely go back.

I’ve been here a couple times, staff is absolutely amazing. Most recent visit I dropped my ice cream because I don’t look where i walk. I was pretty devastated, went back and they gave me a new cone for free. Melted my heart and made my day!!!! Will always recommend them and continue to come back, thanks again :)

Amazing shop! The place is so cool and has a very homey feeling. The owner, at least the one I got to meet and talk to, is very nice and proud of his collection.This looks like the kind of place I would have loved to stop by every single day. They have toys for you to play with and a lot of collector items to look at, but dont touch please.*Just look with your eyes*Love the place and hope that it remains there for another 17 years and way more!

Review №13

What a hidden gem! Half of the place is a play area for kids and the rest of the place is divided between a line of ice cream flavors and few places to sit. The walls are COVERED in amazing memorabilia from every era and you definitely get that old time vibe. And the ice cream selection is great! My girlfriend looks everywhere for the brides cake ice cream flavor and they had it! Plus there are plenty of topping options, and the owner is fantastic to chat with.Definitely recommend stopping in!

Fun Ice Cream place! The owner, Bill, is an absolute wonderful man and makes going to get ice cream a wonderful experience. He does amazing things for the community and truly loves people. My daughter is unable to talk and instead of ignoring her or treating her badly he treated her like a valued human and loved on her. We had her 5th Birthday here and it was a wonderful time!

This is the coolest ice cream shop you’ll ever go to! Bill was so personal, kind, and funny. He is the grandpa everyone wants to have! The ice cream is delicious and there are tons of flavor options.The shop is full of awesome toys, games, and random memorabilia. If I’m ever driving though Albuquerque again, I would 100% go out of my way to stop here. We loved it!!

Review №27

I dont know what it is about their ice cream but I have not tasted anything like it! I got blackberry cobbler ice cream and was recommended to add peach ice cream too. Added raspberry sauce and whipped cream and who knew ice cream could be so decadent! My niece got cotton candy ice cream and it was so good and didnt have a weird chemical aftertaste like other ice cream shops. Compared to I scream I scream all the bigger ice cream chains ice cream tastes cheap. The ice cream that I scream I scream offers has a quality that is unmatched! They could totally charge more and Id be glad to pay it! If you go to any other ice cream shop youll pay more and wont get the quality that I scream I scream has! Treat yourself while supporting local small businesses!

This place is a gem! Like others have mentioned its a real life Ispy book! You will be entertained the entire time just looking around while eating some great ice cream. No more Baskin Robbins or Cold Stone for me! Bill even went out of his way to make my nieces feel extra special with some extra candy! I recommend the raspberry chocolate chunk with raspberry sauce, delicious.

Review №35

Absolutely everything all the reviews say. The owner Warren, overheard me say it was my first visit and made it a point to welcome me. I tried the cookie dough, chocolate and mint chocolate chip, all were delicious. The hot fudge topping was the best I’ve ever had, the real deal. Price was perfect for a heaping small cup. I can’t wait until it’s fully open after Covid to really get to enjoy the experience of the eclectic decor and vibe. Would’ve stayed longer but two huge families came in and it got packed! Definitely the place to go in Albuquerque for ice cream. If you’re driving through, it’s right off the freeway- a must stop! Fantastic experience :)

This place was AWESOME! Yes I know you can get ice cream anywhere, but with this kind of service? Probably not. Very friendly people, always something to look at, and a fairly big play area for the children. It was a win win

This place is the the definition of a family owned restaurant and why we all should support it. My father passed away but before he did he wanted to see his new great granddaughter eat macaroni and cheese, and drink a chocolate malt. He didn’t get the malt so after the funeral we called I Scream for Ice Cream and asked for 15 malts. Bill the owner asked what they were for and we told him. When my daughter went to pick them up, not only did he make additional one for my dad he threw in a few more. Bill was worried about how we would get them home so he gave us his personal cooler to transport them in. This is the definition of family owned and operated. Bill and Will, thank you so much for your generosity and for making this day a little brighter. My family wants to put a shout out to anyone/everyone to support this business and it’s owners and have a chocolate malt!!

OMG this place is amazing! The... stuff and fun things to look at are entrancing, great toys and games for all ages, but the ice cream.... WOW! tons of flavors and toppings for a great price. I had never heard of Superman, apparently it tastes like the milk thats left after you eat fruit loops cereal. It was a total childhood flashback and was delicious! Cant wait to go back. The gentleman was so nice and funny, and the menus being taped to stuffed animals was so cute!

Its like going to meow wolf with mister Rogers. So much fun. I love to meet friends there for a cup of ice cream and a game. There is always something to look at or mess with. There is a kids area in back and the front is for adults, and children accompanied by adults. The one rule is that ice cream stays on the tables. The ice cream is really affordable and there are a lot of good flavors.

Love Bill and love this place. Seriously considering having my 30th birthday party here in a couple years. Family friendly, great ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from. Bill is such a sweetheart the way he connects with all his customers. This is a serious vintage collectors shop and for a 90s kid like me, I love the nostalgia of it all.

Anytime I am in town, I Scream Ice Cream is on my priority list of places to visit. Not only is the ice cream phenomenal resulting in my taste buds having a fireworks party, but the ambience is one of a kind! My eyes could wonder for hours with the shop space being so unique, that uniqueness can be found on the walls, ceiling or among the friendly people! Bill is the friendliest and has a heart for the community and children. PLEASE VISIT and have a laugh for me. I cannot wait until my next visit!!
