Cottonwood Creamery & Cookies — Restaurant in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque

This was thee best ice cream I've ever had without any exaggeration. As a New Mexican, I can say this ice cream is like eating the essence of New Mexico in a creamy treat.

Also grabbed a cookie (haven’t tried it yet), but if it’s anything like the ice cream, we’re in for a treat.

What I really love is that this place isn’t just another basic ice cream shop. They’ve got bold, fun flavors and clearly put heart into everything they make. Already planning what...
