Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog. Updated July 2026.
ChocGlitz & Cream · Albuquerque
Chocolatier Celeste Davis hand-makes most of the chocolates and churns the ice cream in-house at this shop that Food Network once tapped for a five-foot chocolate sculpture. Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog is a fan. Order a small-batch scoop like raspberry red chile or salted caramel, an English toffee caramel apple, or the bacon caramel corn.
Pop Pop's Italian Ice & Exotic Snacks · Albuquerque
A 2025 Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog pick for Italian ice and creamy custard. The move is a gelati, layers of dense custard and bright fruit ice in one cup, with flavors that rotate through the seasons.
