Cute little shop on a nice street. The employees are really nice and the frozen custard was actually really good. Was healthier and tasted better than regular ice cream

A must try
The pinon iced coffee blend, and the coffee milkshake with caramel were awesome. The staff was also very friendly.
It was so good that we stopped at their food truck the next day and received the same quality drinks and service.
We will be stopping at Busy Bee everytime that we are in Albuquerque from now on.

I visited Busy Bee Frozen Custard in Los Ranchos the day before New Year’s Eve, and it was a delightful experience! The shop was quiet, but the owner was incredibly kind and friendly. She let me sample a few flavors before I chose one of their festive Christmas flavors in a waffle cone. The custard was so creamy and smooth—absolutely delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and can’t wait to return to try more flavors. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I was excited to try this custard because I like to support local businesses, especially ones made with integrity and quality, like Burque Bakery, Los Poblanos, and Farm and Table. BusyBee Custard seems just that. But it isn’t.
Yesterday I ordered a BusyBee chocolate shake with a burger next door at Lavender Cocinita. It came topped with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. How did it taste? Well, a lot like a fast food shake: very sweet, really thick, and it didn’t totally melt.
I read the ingredients section on the Busy Bee site and found that their custards contained plenty of artificial additives like monodiglycerides and various gums, that are used in highly processed ice creams, like Wendy’s Frosty or Freddy’s custard. The highly processed substances are called emulsifiers, which are just additives that make their ice cream seem more thick and creamy, but not because there is more butter or cream fat. They are used because they are cheap and they bring down the cost of production versus using real food.
But emulsifiers are horrible for gut health. They are in most highly processed foods these days and I avoid them totally. They can destroy the gut lining, which deprives the beneficial gut bacteria of a place to live while allowing bad bacteria to take hold. Heard of leaky gut? Emulsifiers are a main cause. In short, emulsifiers damage your gut biome, which contributes to obesity and metabolic disorders. Emulsifiers and additives make ice cream from a guilty pleasure to an unhealthy one.
BusyBee says that they have the “Worlds’ Best Ice Cream”, but it turns out that it’s not much different from artificial and unhealthy fast food custard or ice cream.
It was 2 stars for the custard, but knocked to 1 star for the lipstick on a pig marketing.

The lady in there was so nice. The ice cream was so creamy and the waffle cones the perfect texture and brittleness.

For those visiting Albuquerque, I highly recommend stopping by Busy Bee, a true gem in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque that will uplift your senses with its mouthwatering treats and warm hospitality. The staff will greet you with kindness and bright smiles, making you feel right at home. The atmosphere is elevated by the nostalgic 90s country music, which will transport you back to a simpler time. With a diverse range of flavors and treats, you’ll be wanting to try them all. I was particularly inspired by the lavender peach flavor, which was sublime. My husband’s banana split was a standout, unlike anything we’d ever had and my kiddos dirt n’ worms was out of this world in flavor and was a cool treat with oreos, gummy worms and cream! So, if you’re in the area, be sure to visit! I know we will make sure to stop by anytime we are!!!

We got two pints of frozen custard, mint chocolate chip and butter toffee. They are both great! Helen, the owner, is super sweet, would recommend!

Family of 4 here – we all enjoyed our frozen custard very much! Chocolate custard with sprinklers for the littles. Mint chip and cookies and cream for me. Coffee and vanilla for my husband. All the flavors were delicious and such a creamy, pleasant texture. The young guy behind the counter was running the show by himself and did a great job at being quick but also friendly. We will be back!

This custard shop is an absolute gem! Tucked away in a cute area near a local toy store, it’s the perfect spot to treat yourself or bring the kids for something sweet. The vanilla custard is to die for—honestly the best vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had. It’s rich, creamy, and full of flavor without being too sweet.
The shop itself is super charming and inviting, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier. Everyone was warm, helpful, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there. I do wish there were a few less sugary coffee options on the menu, but that’s a small thing compared to how perfect everything else is. A must-visit if you’re in the area!
