Delicious artisan ice cream just a short drive away to Nevada from Heavenly Village. They allowed me to sample a couple flavors and I ended up with the lavender blueberry honey flavor. Husband got the coffee crunch. Both were amazing flavors separately but not together. Parking lot is located just outside the store. read more

Castle Rock Creamery - Coffee crunch + blueberry lavender honey on a sugar cone - Desserts Near Me - Stateline, Nevada

Omg. This is the best ice cream ever!!! If you're ever in SLT, take the extra 5 minutes drive out of the congested casino area and get this ice cream!! Every time I visit, Castle Rock is on my agenda. They have unique flavors like carrot cake, which I found out is seasonal BUT SO GOOD, strawberry dreams, cherry pistachio and salted caramel White Russian. Everything is artisan and made in house. Cute, small, colorful shop. Seating inside. Josh, the owner, is the sweetest and is here all the time working his butt off to make the best ice cream. I loveeeee Castle Rock Creamery! read more

Absolutely incredible. I can not believe I am just learning about this spot. Thank goodness it's not closer to my house. I think I would gain 100 lbs! Upon entering, I noticed the fun decor with ice cream theming all over. There is also a small restroom and plenty of seating inside. We were lucky enough to meet and be served by one of the owners after a Sunday evening Tahoe Knight Monsters game. He explained to us that everything is made in-house with fresh ingredients. There are some very unique flavors as well as some classics, like chocolate and vanilla. However, they kind of put their own spin on everything, like Nutella in the chocolate ice cream. They also have a nice selection of non-dairy options. I really appreciated the mini scoops- a super small scoop, served in a 2-oz cup. Great for just tasting flavors. I ordered a mini scoop of the Black Sesame Fig and Ginger in a cup. I asked for two mini scoops of vanilla in sugar cones for my kids, and my wife ordered a single scoop of the cherry pistachio in a waffle cone. Absolutely serious when I say this- the vanilla ice cream here is the best I have ever had. You should absolutely try it when you come here. You should get other flavors too, maybe even a flight, but absolutely get the vanilla. The Black Sesame Fig and Ginger was perfectly sweet with lots of fig flavor and a light ginger zing. I loved it. My wife enjoyed her cherry pistachio too, with nice chunks of pistachio throughout. Did I mention homemade ice cream cakes?! I heard they sometimes have slices to order instead of the whole cake. I already can not wait to get back in and try the Sticky Stout and the London Fog. I am definitely getting a flight next time because I just want to try everything. Support this local ice cream joint! It's incredible! read more

4.5/5: They have unique flavors and you can try them before deciding. I got two minis and that was just the right amount for me. Got salted caramel white Russian and sesame ginger figs. Salted caramel was really good. Sesame one is different but I cant taste much sesame. Nice little treat post dinner! read more

While vacationing with friends in South Lake Tahoe, we decided to hop into Castle Rock Creamery near Stateline to check out this delicious small-batch artisan ice cream. We were greeted by the owners, Josh and his wife Amy, who bring over 30 years of culinary experience into their amazing newly-opened storefront overlooking beautiful Lake Tahoe (started in December 2024). They are both super friendly, love their customers as well as serving up some outstanding desserts. The menu is dynamic, with seasonal favorites rotating throughout the year. There are dairy and non-dairy options, as well as customized gourmet ice cream cakes. Catching my eye was "Hank the Tank Tracks," a sweet (and salty) indulgence with a touch of chocolate. Peanut Butter ice cream overflowing with crunchy, chocolate-covered pretzel pieces, fudge and peanut butter cups. The prices range from $3.50 for a Mini Scoop, up to $11 for a Flight of 4, four scoops for those that cannot decide. There are also additional add ons with cones or Affogato (for that extra caffeine boost), as well as a Popsicle for your four-legged friends. Being from Los Angeles, the prices didn't shock me, especially given the quality of the ingredients. The ice cream is outstanding. Rich, creamy, chalked full of great ingredients and just so damn delicious you'll want more. The Castle Rock team has you covered though, offering pints to go for those late night cravings. Lots of cool artwork and signage, several tables inside as well as in the back area near the Pac Man arcade game and restrooms to enjoy on site. Castle Rock Creamery is one of those great hidden gems in South Lake Tahoe. The offerings are top-notch and the customer service simply outstanding. I love supporting local businesses, especially those that have some a passion for their products and engaging with their communities - CRC excels in both areas. Next time you are in South Lake Tahoe near the California / Nevada border, check out Castle Rock Creamery. read more

Darling, charming and disarming place...and proprietor. (He's the mind behind the amazing flavor mashups and a fine service provider too!) Unexpected flavors! Exceptional quality! Non-dairy? I don't need no stinkin' non-dairy...but oh my! THE FLAVOR PROFILES ARE CULINARY GENIUS! This is beyond ANY non-dairy you've EVER had! And if you've never had it...THIS is the place to try it!! Black sesame, fig and ginger?!?! Srsly? It is now in my regular rotation...I fancy myself a bit of an ice cream snob and now I'm spoiled...nothing measures up to this! This place alone is worth the trip to beautiful south shore, Lake Tahoe. Love, love, love. read more

This ice cream store is local, with hand-made small batch ice cream. It was so hard to decide on one of the many delicious-sounding flavors! My hubby chose Cherry-Pistachio (he loved it). I chose a slice of Aloha Carrot Cake... because they make cakes (see photo for menu) and you can order a slice of what they have available at the time! I also sampled the Maple Walnut (tasted like pancakes, yum) and Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (so malty and good). I would definitely request an entire Aloha Carrot Cake for my birthday! The gentleman behind the counter - owner or manager? - was friendly and helpful. It's a little out-of-the-way, but so worth the find! read more

Awesome!! I had a double scoop- cherries jubilee and double vanilla. Really really excellent stuff here, flavorful and the texture is perfect. This is what ice cream is supposed to taste like!! read more

Crap. I forgot to take pics of the actual ice cream! Needless to say, it was delicious as evidenced by no evidence, lol. The key takeaway is they offer a mini size that is absolutely perfect for that post-meal sweet tooth hankering. The owners are warm and inviting. The decor is interesting and colorful. Would definitely return! I recommend the cherry pistachio ;) read more

Great service! We drive 700+ miles every year for Lake Tahoe and this is our must stop ice cream shop everytime!

Finally South Lake Tahoe (well, Stateline) gets a hip boutique icecream truck. (Think: Salt and Straw level ice cream, small batch and made at home by the owners Josh and Amy.) Def on the pricier side, but noticeably higher quality than anything else in the greater Tahoe area. Lots of exotic flavors -- and even the simpler ones were fantastic. Weird quirk of mine: I love getting vanilla ice cream when I first try an ice cream place to see how well they execute their basics, and their version of it the Honey Vanilla Glow was SUPERB, the fragrance of fresh honey really permeating each bite. Note the food truck is parked inside the big parking lot, but on the side of the 50 (instead of the side of the shops) so it may not be immediately visible upon entering the area. They've got a patch of astroturf + some chairs and tables so it's a super cute little oasis of snackhood! :) read more

My son and I declared this is the BEST ice cream we've ever had in the history of ever. I'm dairy free and I had the coffee crunch and it was so so good. He had his favorite, mint chip. Super friendly service. We were able to try flavors before committing. Smaller space so we decided to tailgate in the parking lot. Very cute decorations inside. read more

Castle Rock Creamery - Fig and ginger, blueberry lavender, & 2 others flight - Desserts Near Me - Stateline, Nevada

One of the two best ice cream places I've had in the entire world. Did not expect to find that in a random commercial park in South Lake! I used to love ice cream when I was younger, and I've had a fair bit around the world. Then I became lactose intolerant, and thought I'd have to live with gross vegan ice cream. Caravaggio Gelato in Berkeley, CA got my hopes up again, since they lactose treat their ice cream, with no hit to quality. Never thought I'd find a second place I could enjoy as much. Castle Rock is indeed "vegan" ice cream, but it's so good. I'm lucky if a place has one or two lactose-free flavors; Castle Rock had a dozen, all of them really interesting. I wanted to go back a dozen times to try them all. Alas, we were only in town a few days so I couldn't. But I'm definitely saving this listing for next time I'm up in Tahoe! read more

I almost didn't come here because I was tired after a long day of hiking and full after a big dinner and this was out of my way.... But I'm so glad I didn't skip it because the ice cream was excellent! Worth staying out a little later for. No tasters, so I picked blindly based on names. I went with a scoop of salted caramel white Russian. Sounded like a good combo, and the flavor more than lived up to the name. A lot going on, but each element was perfectly balanced, the texture was smooth, and the whole things was totally enjoyable. I also got a pupsicle for my dog, which turned out to be a little frozen puck in a mini cup. It was small enough that he could have just crunched it if I'd given it to him straight, so I wound up holding it in the cup with my fingers while he licked. Perfect timing: we both finished our treats at the same time. And while I have no desire to try it for myself, the pupsicle actually smelled pretty tasty.... The only real negative is their hours. I want them to open earlier so I can come back before I leave Tahoe! read more

Stop it with this cute roadside ice cream van! After a hike, my husband and I decided we earned a sweet treat and I quickly searched for ice cream near us while driving back into South Lake Tahoe. We had the options of Baked Bear, Coldstone and Mono Cone. We have Baked Bear and Coldstone where we live of course, so figured the best option would be to try whatever this Mono Cone was since it was unique to the area. We quickly veered into this shopping center and were pleasantly surprised to find that it was not an actual shop, but a van that sits out in the back of the parking lot. I was even more pleasantly surprised to see that they had a mini scoop, which was exactly that, mini! 2 oz. As someone who is watching what they eat and calories, I truly appreciate the small options like this that provide a nice taste, but doesn't tempt you to eat more. I went with the chocolate since the other options were a little too different for me and I am definitely a very basic ice cream flavor type girl. It was creamy and delicious! Come here for a sweet and unique stop in the area! read more

So good! We came here based on the 5 star reviews and it is definitely it'll worth all 5 stars! The portions are on the smaller side compared to most American serving sizes... but honestly you really don't need 3 cups of ice cream! The owner was so nice and he makes all the ice cream himself! We tried a variety of flavors (can't rememeber the names but there was a chocolate, a white Russian kind, a moose tracks style, mint, and the coconut coffee). They were all delicious! I had a gluten free cone which was equally good. Prices a little steep and portions a little small... but the guys running a small business!!! The best thing about the ice cream was that you could actually taste the flavors... it isn't loaded with sugar. I would definitely come back.... I actually think we will! Don't forget to find this little ice cream truck in the Safeway parking lot on the Nevada side! read more

It was a treat to experience Castle Rock creamery, the quality of the ice creams is phenomenal, they are unique, interesting, the ingredients are incredible quality. The place is really cool, we enjoyed all the decorations and the kids were thrilled with the pac man arcade on the back.

I have to say we walked to this place from Harvey's and it was one heck of a uphill walk for a scoop of ice cream. HOWEVER, this place is an absolute gem. The owner is incredible and was so nice to us. The ice cream is just as good as the customer service and the ambiance of the whole place is such a nice touch. The lemon raspberry bar flavor is incredible and I've never tasted anything like it. The owner talked to us about the journey from serving from a trailer to being at the location they re at now. Such a cool story and I'm glad we walked to come support this gem! read more

Interesting and fun flavors. Rich ice cream with deep flavors. Owner was friendly. Would recommend!

Delicious ice cream and friendly service. Many non-dairy options that were so creamy you would never know!

Delicious ice cream! Would definitely come back. Very nice staff too. --------------------//-

Holy dairy cow, and I do mean the richest, creamiest most gourmet flavors of ice cream I've ever had. Tucked away in a little plaza, you have to look for it, but then you'll be greatly rewarded On my first visit I got the flight which was perfect to tryout, but I couldn't narrow down a favorite, so next trip I will probably have to try another 4 flavors YUMMY This is definitely a quality product so expect to get why you pay for.

Some of the worst ice cream in the basin. Nice place and nice employees but bad product. We had 4 flavors and all the flavors were overly sweet.
