Santa Fe, NMIce Cream

La Lecheria makes small-batch New Mexico ice cream, now scooping from the Railyard after leaving its original Marcy Street shop. The Santa Fe New Mexican's Taste column flagged its green chile ice cream and rotating seasonal flavors under chef Joel Coleman of Fire and Hops. Order the green chile ice cream, or the four-scoop flight to work through the rotation.

Hello Sweet Cream handcrafts small-batch ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, and frozen custard in Eldorado, just south of the city inside the metro. Santa Fe Reporter readers voted it the 2026 Best Frozen Treat in the Best of Santa Fe poll, with both dairy and non-dairy options on the board. Flavors rotate, so ask for the current seasonal small-batch scoop.

Oasis Ice Cream Shop is a family-run counter in the Cerrillos-corridor Design Center that has scooped since 2018. The Santa Fe New Mexican's Taste summer-treats column named it for its paletas and its churro-topped shakes. Come for the Mexican-style frozen treats: order an assortment of paletas, or the churro-topped shake if you want something over the top.

Frogurt is a self-serve frozen-yogurt shop in the Rodeo Plaza on the Southside, and the Santa Fe New Mexican's Taste column pointed to its no-sugar-added options and flavors like cake batter and mango sorbet. You build your own cup, so pull the mango sorbet or a no-sugar-added flavor and load it with toppings from the bar.
