    Ice cream and shakes and snow cone are awesome. The waffle chips were fresh and crunchy. The flavors are great! The service is top notch. The owner took his time to make very fresh espresso madness shakes. When I blurted out that he used sugar in the shakes he corrected me to make sure that I know his shakes are finely crafted without any added sugar. That's a man who stands by his ice cream craftsmanship and excellent service. I should have asked how old the business is. It's prolly been at Tahoe forever. Maybe even dating back to 2017? Thankful that I came back with my kids almost 10 years later. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's also a nice backyard patio area to sit in the shade and enjoy the ice cream and rest from a day of hiking or at the beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's even WiFi.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This service may be spotty. Stop by and get some yummy cool sweets. Don't come here to look for a nice sweet old man who sells ice cream. But come and experience yummy sweet desserts. I had a good experience with the owner. He's solid and the real deal. Definitely recommend and will come back. Solid A

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite opening in 2016 Sweet Tahoe time had an old soul feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ice cream shop was located in a rustic cabin.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Flavours were simple which I liked. I tried a chocolate/vanilla soft serve with sprinkles. Great taste. $6 for a scoop . California prices

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is the perfect place to cool down and enjoy a sweet treat![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff let me try both "bunny tracks" and espresso chip and I went with a cone of the espresso chip. It was really tasty and creamy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The backyard is super cute with lots of fun animal decor and tables with umbrellas for shade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Yummy Ice cream with the family..

    Ice cream was really good. Nice and creamy. And they have the cutest little set up outside in the back with tables with umbrellas and chairs so you can eat your ice cream and enjoy the nice weather with a Big Connect 4 game. Super cute. Love the vibe.

    Always a happy place to visit. It was such a great time to hang out outside, play games , eat ice cream, and drink coffee. It has a very happy vibe there Service is quick , with happy smiles. Ice cream is delicious Portions are large. We ordered a small $5 cup for each, and it was more than enough to enjoy each flavor chosen. Parking is limited, so it is better to park nearby or walk from Kings Beach. We highly recommend this place

    The staff was nice and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice outdoor seating area[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], good ice cream and fairly priced.

    Full honesty here based on my personal experience yesterday - take your money elsewhere!!! I came here with my family hoping to end the day on a good note, and this ice cream shop absolutely ruined our experience and overall trip. I'm not sure if it was racism or the one worker had a stick up his you know what... but he was completely out of pocket yesterday night. I believe he was the owner of the shop. We came in and asked for a few samples.... now I haven't even had a single sample yet and this worker looked me straight in the eyes saying "you can only have ONE sample." I thought he was joking, but I was completely wrong. Now if I wanted one single sample, at that point I might as well take a damn gamble on any flavor at this point and buy that flavor. I hated the first flavor I tried and asked for another sample (because i thought he was joking). Turns out he wasn't. As I asked for the second sample, he again sighs and says "I already told you you can only have one sample. There is a line (of 2 other people) behind you." I was completely speechless. What a rude human being he is. I ended up getting a flavor I didn't even like (and for $6 for a scoop FYI....). I just wish the owner had more of a heart. He should not be owning an ice cream shop with this attitude. The point of ice cream is supposed to bring joy and happiness together, but the owner did the opposite of that. He seems to have a lot of hatred in life and seems like a very miserable person that takes it out on the customers. If you want to have a miserable experience, come to this place. Awful experience, service, and bad vibes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not to mention that I also saw a tiny mouse crawl out of their shop into the backyard area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Poorly ran and probably serves poison ice cream with how dirty this place is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Edit: found a photo of the rude, miserable, angry (because his life must suck) employee and posting here for awareness. Avoid this demon at all costs!!!!

    There's 2 ice cream shops almost right next to each other in Kings Beach, this one and Log Cabin. I've been to Tahoe Time multiple times and am always so happy with my experience, so I'll keep coming back to this one! This shop is nice because they have both indoor and outdoor seating, dog friendly patio, bathroom for customers to use, and several unique flavors to choose from. I went with a small scoop of Black Raspberry Marble in a cone! Prices are affordable and serving size was perfect. The ice cream was creamy and delicious. I loved how flavorful the black raspberry part of the swirl was, it was a good amount to have mixed in with the vanilla. This was the perfect sweet treat after an afternoon at the lake!

    Ice cream is good but just look at the picture. Poor hygiene. The guy giving samples is literally has his fingers on the spoon. Nasty! Both servers hands are filty. Both not wear gloves. Not good for business.

    Black Raspberry Marble, absolutely delicious

    Lovely variety of ice cream, sorbet and gelato. We sampled so many different things. Ice cream…read morecones (waffle), banana split, affogato coffee and sorbet bowl. The different flavors were Rocky Road, Blueberry, caramel, Caramel Cup, hot fudge... so many good things. A very little shop with a small counter that is packed with customers. On this busy day, I think the staff was kind of tired, so not really the most welcoming at times. Warning! Do not ask to get a sample taste of anything! For four treats we were into it for $55...

    I've visited here multiple times and have always had a welcoming experience, which is why…read moreyesterday's visit was so disappointing. When I ordered the salted caramel gelato around 8:00 p.m., there was only a small amount left at the bottom of the container, and there was a previously scooped portion that had been tossed back into the gelato. I politely asked if a fresh batch could be brought out. Initially, the employee told me they weren't bringing out any more. A few moments later, another young woman came over and said they would bring out a new batch, although it would be hard because it had just come out of the freezer. I waited, but the fresh batch never came. Eventually, I settled for a different flavor, which was not why I drove all the way to Kings Beach. I came specifically for the salted caramel gelato. It was a very disappointing experience, especially because I've always enjoyed coming here. I hope this was just an off day and that future customers receive the level of service that has made me return so many times.
