Berry Ocean has a wide variety of gelato (Italian ice cream made from milk, sugar, air and fresh ingredients), smoothies, shakes, teas and coffee. The interior is modern, sleek and bright. There are fun couches, chairs and tables that give the place a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a wonderful frozen treat.
I was looking forward to this trip, because I am a big dessert fan. There is a glass case with countless types of smooth gelato to choose from, such as White Chocolate, Tirimisu, or Pistachio. I have to admit that I couldn’t make a decision and had to ask for help and was allowed to taste before choosing. I had the Nociolla (Hazelnut) on this visit. The flavor was rich, airy, the consistency was smooth, a mix between pudding and ice cream.
Also catching my eye were the fruit flavored gelato’s which are a lot like sherbert but with a smother less icy texture.
Berry Ocean Gelato and Espresso would be a great choice for a casual get together with friends, or just for a sweet fix after a long day at work.
I was impressed by the variety of flavors, which all looked delicious. The espresso and white chocolate are my favorites.
Take a look at their menu and their website, because there are a lot of choices - from coffee and tea to a gelato classic Sundae. The atmosphere is clean and inviting and the service is outstanding. I was not disappointed with my visit, and I seriously doubt that you will be either.

Have a sweet tooth? Cake Fetish is the place for you. Cake Fetish Cupcakes is located on the northwest corner of Louisiana and Menaul. This little bakery offers cupcake for a quick sweet snack, cupcakes to go for the whole family or order cupcakes in advance for those special occasions.
Cake fetish offers 12 varieties available daily as wells as different specialty flavors depending on what day you visit. 
The half dozen I choose was Puker Up, Inside out German Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cup, Sleepless in Albuquerque, Grasshopper and Cafe Ole. The first delectable cupcake I tasted was called Pucker-Up! which consisted of moist vanilla cake and a lemon filling, then topped with a candy lemon slice. The butter cream frosting was sweet without the overwhelming sweetness of most butter cream frostings you will find at the grocery store.
The inside-out German Chocolate is a chocolate cupcake with a pecan filling, chocolate butter cream frosting sprinkled with toasted coconut. Sleepless in Albuquerque, my husbands favorite, consisted of chocolate cake with mocha butter cream, chocolate gouache and an espresso bean to top it all off. 
The grasshopper is a peppermint and chocolate flavored cupcake with green mint butter cream frosting drizzled with chocolate. Cafe Ole is available on Tuesdays. It is cinnamon cake with cappuccino butter cream sprinkled cinnamon and a coffee bean. The Peanut Butter Cup was my favorite of the bunch. It had peanut butter in the butter cream frosting, chocolate cake and a few peanut butter chips on top.
Prices were very fair, $1.75 for a single and $10.50 for a half dozen. If you are looking to try a variety of flavors at a reasonable price, try the cupcake minis at $6.50 a dozen, can’t beat that.
The customer service was great and the interior was modern and clean. I went in right before closing but the cupcakes still fresh as if they had just been made. It is nice to see a specialty bakery in Albuquerque doing it right.
