Generous and hefty scoops of ice cream! We popped into the long line for ice cream and were amazed at the large menu of ice cream flavor options of sundae specials. Keep in mind, they were out of some flavors. The triple split was humongous - we ordered the blackberry, chocolate brownie, and strawberry flavors. It was plenty for sharing 3+ people. There's limited outdoor seating but the beach is just a few steps away to enjoy the dessert. read more

Log Cabin Ice Cream & Coffee - Decor - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kings Beach, California

If you want amazing locally made ice cream this is the place! The selection of flavors for the ice cream and gelato are great. They have many drinks options as well, mostly coffees. The prices are high, sure, but you're at a small business in north Lake Tahoe, so it's gonna be high. Quality and service are great, but be prepared to maybe have to wait a bit, the place is very small and usually only has one or two people working it seems. Nice patio to dine on. I recommend getting the emerald bay split if you want to share like we did 2-3 scoops of whatever ice cream you want and amazing toppings. read more

Not a fan of this place. Doesn't deserve any stars frankly. Came on a sunny Tuesday. It was busy. There was no organization in regard to a line, ordering or paying. The server was rude and indifferent. The ice cream looked fine, nothing special. We ordered ONE ice cream and then waited and waited....there were people waiting everywhere. We eventually left, without our ice cream and walked a block up to the other ice cream parlor. read more

Not much to say. The dessert, location and staff were all great! Would definitely come back read more

I am shocked this place has such low Yelp ratings. Come on Yelpers! What ice cream are you rating? Neighbors next building? Out of all the ice cream places in Tahoe, this one serves real, BEST, creamy dairy ice cream -- not the mostly water-based kind. When you eat it, you can tell it's made with real milk. At least, it reminds me of how ice cream used to taste back in the day. We liked it so much, we came back the very next day. I highly recommend this place -- we really enjoyed it. We'll definitely be coming back every time we visit North Tahoe. BEST ICE CREAM PLACE IN NORTH TAHOE read more

Great ice cream, questionable service. Being able to sample flavors would be a nice add on. Cool location though!

Ice cream lovers beware! The menu and the price is not what it appears to be. You will be overcharged if you don't pay attention. We brought up the price discrepancy and were still denied. If your menu posted to customers says one thing, you cannot and should not charge more. It's just not ethical. But besides that, you lost customers. read more

Service was unfair. The guy at the register had an odd and unwelcoming attitude. We asked to sample one of their flavors and he refused to do so on the excuse that they had run out of spoons but my question is: how can you expect customers to buy something that they can't even try specially when it comes to ice creams? It doesn't make sense My husband ordered a waffle cone and to our surprise when he was about to finish eating it he realized he couldn't rip the end paper off of it and when he finally did there were like a glue textured plastic looking drops around it. Prices are extremely high, scoops on the smaller side...not generous at all for how much you're paying. Ice creams are definitely not homemade but yet is advertised as the most voted ice cream in town. No bueno read more

It was a perfect ending to our lake day at Kingsbeach with family. Log cabin ice cream offered more variety than the ice cream spot just down the street. The line was very long, and three younger gentlemen were friendly and funny. They made their way to us, and we learned they were roommates and poked fun at each other. I very much enjoyed their smores affogato and stole a few bites of my daughter's ice cream Sundae. My little guy didn't make it to his cone before he tapped out. We enjoyed their cute patio and their fun menu before the rain came. It was still a great time here, and we look forward to our next visit. read more

Here it is.. The patio is slick. The service is good. The ice cream is decent but not homemade. (sourced from Oregon) Prices are WILD. ($16 for two scoops in separate cups) Witnessed a family of five pay $48 bucks while there. I love supporting local shops but don't like feeling ripped off. Skip. read more

Kept passing by this gelato place to and from our Airbnb, we decided to end our beach day with a walk to here! Shoutout to the only employee working the shop with a long line out the door, bless his soul; super kind and patient, service was amazing. I ordered the strannocciola gelato, very creamy and not too sweet which i love. The main building with the sign out front was not the place of service, but a sign said "Ice cream around back," which led to a very cute and quaint spot with a good amount of chairs and tables. Otherwise, very satisfying dessert i would say read more

Overpriced subpar ice cream with horrible customer service. Won't let you sample a flavor which is fine then went to order a sundae and they said they're done making them for the day. Wouldn't recommend wasting your time and money read more

I've driven past this place dozens of times going through King's Beach, and as a big ice cream fan I've always wanted to try the place that boasts "best ice cream." We stopped by on our way back home, and I'm glad we did! Parking can be a bit tricky as it shared with multiple places, and the ice cream parlor is back behind the cabin away from the road. They have lots of flavors of ice cream as well as tons of sundae options like s'mores. This time I just opted for a single scoop of cotton candy, which as you can see is massive! You certainly get your moneys worth. The ice cream itself was very rich and creamy and the flavor brought me back to Thrifty's ice cream--in a good way. I absolutely want to come back and try a sundae sometime. This will be my new go to for ice cream in King's Beach. read more

My little girl has never tried gelato so I asked if they could make an exception to their NO SAMPLE rule and let her try it to make sure she liked it before ordering. They spoke Spanish amongst themselves and then told me NO. So we ordered anyways and of my daughter ended up not liking it so we had to toss it and order another ice cream. We were a group of 10 and the ice creams did not come out In order. People who ordered wayyyy after we did got their ice creams first. So our group got their ice creams 30minutes apart from each other so half of them were finished before some even got their ice cream. They forgot my husbands all together so he ate his by himself in the car on the way home. Terrible customer service and super high prices- 1 scoop was over $10! The only thing nice about this place was their cute patio set up. Too bad it didn't match up with the customer service! read more

The line is huge but it is so worth it! I visited this place after someone recommended it, they told me that this was the best ice cream they have ever had, and I agree with that. First of all, the choices of flavors and types of ice cream are very very large. Secondly, they also sell gelato. Thirdly, it is a family business so buying from them supports the local small businesses. The photo does not do the icecream justice. read more

The Huckleberry ice creme from here just hit the spot . Generous portions and yumm!! This is a well established ice creme spot and serve some great ice cremes and Sundaes . We looked for it at South Lake Tahoe as we did have it in one of the shops few years back. Unfortunately it's a shame we couldn't find it in South Lake Tahoe. read more

Been coming here for years and love this place. Even though we did not get ice cream, we did not want to drop a one star for a correctable mistake. Checked Yelp before heading to this location on a Friday night. Closing time was listed at 10pm on both Yelp and the website. We arrived at about 8:55 pm and began to look at the menu outside. Shortly after, we were notified by the employee, mid 20s guy with a Mohawk, the store had just closed. We were confused due to the closing time on Yelp and the official website. We asked what time they closed. The worker said 9pm when it was 8:58. Worker went on to say they are open till 10pm on weekends. The website says 11am-10pm Monday -Sunday. I hate walking in at closing time and this could have been avoided by updating hours on Yelp or the website. I understand the pre-cleaning and how this is probably a seasonal job, but the business should either update their hours or pay the employee time after closing to clean and pack up for the night. read more

This cute ice cream shop is incredibly overpriced. We had two cups of ice cream and the total was $16. There aren't samples and the ice cream isn't homemade. The only positive is the patio. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Good Ice Cream! Huge choice of ice cream or gelato. There was a line but it was not that long of a wait. They have outdoor seating with covered umbrellas. I ordered the Strawberry gelato and it was so good! It did not melt quickly at all. My daughter ordered a Vanilla Icream cone on sugar cone and loved it! My other daughter ordered orange sherbet and was happy! Prices were average and tables were clean outside. We look forward to visiting again! read more

This was a charming little gem that we found when we travel to Lake Tahoe. The ice cream was really good and the ambience was special.

This place has a nice shaded patio to sit on in the evenings. It's a walk up dog friendly place. Service was prompt and friendly. I wanted to mix a scoop of gelato and a scoop of ice cream. That's not allowed. We were interested in the smoothies (9.55) but the kids opted for ice cream (double scoops in waffle cone were about 9.50 each plus 1.50 for waffle cone each). Spent 24$ for ice cream for two kids which normally would be no way. Ice cream was good but nothing super unique. They didn't have a few of the flavors they listed on the menu on the street which was disappointing. We will opt for sharing next time or a smoothie or another place. read more

One scoop in a cup they give you about half the amount of ice cream as one scoop in a cone. Also, unfriendly staff, no samples policy, bland ice cream, expensive ($7.53 single), long wait times, and you have to manually enter your credit card data. read more

This place is absolutely terrible....people are spending money and we asked for one gelato with one ice cream....we asked for two scoops in one bowl...they would rather we waste cups then mix...incompetent... and I don't like leaving bad reviews read more

We rented a house in Kings Beach for the week of the 4th of July. It was a short walk to this spot and went twice. It was great. I want to acknowledge that I read the other reviews and if some of the exchanges with the owner depicted there are accurate then I would have ripped this place as well. That being said, all I can do it review based on my experiences. The ice cream is great. I recommend getting any of the flavors made by local Tahoe Creamery. The place gets very busy, but both times we went the staff was crushing it. Getting out orders with a quickness despite often unorganized patrons. The two different women who waited on us handled large orders accurately and quickly. The place is small, but has a good sized patio. No place to sit inside - barely enough space to order and pick up - but who wants to be inside in Lake Tahoe anyway. We will be going back... maybe tomorrow! read more

Ice cream and gelato spot with outdoor dining area. It's located behind a building (you'll notice the line up people along the ramp if you're there after dinner). Street parking is available and there was a small lot with limited parking. Credit cards are accepted. There are two mixed-use bathrooms available (and they have a rosemary mint soap!). There were only two employees working so the line did move a bit slowly, but to their credit, they were still friendly and were doing their best. We got a one scoop hot fudge sundae that came whipped cream, chopped peanuts, and a cherry. We opted for strawberry ice cream, which was icy. However, they gave us a generous portion of hot fudge, which made me happy. The outdoor area is cute and there are tables available for big groups. They also have smoothies, gelato, and milkshakes available. Overall, it's a homey spot to grab dessert. read more

The ice cream at the Log Cabin Ice Cream is mediocre. They have quite a few unique flavors which could be interesting to try. However they don't offer any samples. So you definitely risk getting something you might not like. I do recommend the blueberry Tahoe ice cream. read more

Log Cabin Ice Cream is the best! So many options for a cold treat- specialty sundaes, milkshakes, smoothies, ice cream, and gelato. I ordered the chocolate and raspberry gelato and it was amazing. Staff was so friendly and the courtyard seating is perfect for families and sitting in the shade. I highly recommend! read more

Always a line for a reason! We always stop here when we visit. Nothing better on a hot day.

Very generous scoops of ice cream. I ordered two smalls for my children, which were $6 each. We were very impressed watching the ice cream scooper aggressively scraping the ice cream out to give a heaping scoop to my son. We also ordered gelato, which tasted very fresh. The ice cream flavors are listed on the wall, but the gelato flavors are not. It would helpful if the gelato flavors were posted, because there were people hovering by the gelato waiting for their shakes and other fancy concoctions, so it caused a little bit of confusion to step out of line to peak into the gelato case at the end. This location is very popular in the evenings, especially since it is opened much later (10pm!) than the competition. Lots of seating, however due to its popularity all of the seats quickly filled up. I also like the very convenient parking next door. read more

Great gelato! We had the Honey Lavender scoops in a small bowl. A little pricey 6.95 for a small, but very creamy. And a lot of choices for unique flavors. Why not 5 stars? A bit highly priced. The service was a great! read more

If I could give a zero, I would. Appeared that a moldy/dirty towel in an ice cream buckets when we entered and the staff member taking our orders were extremely rude and disrespectful. Over priced ice cream and horrible staff. First time I've ever felt like I needed to leave a review because of how terrible it was. Came with a group of 11 to get ice cream and only 2 people got anything. The rest left due to reasons above. read more

This place is so neat and in a perfect location. Driving around Tahoe I saw this from the street and it immediately caught my eye. We walked here after a big dinner and between all of us, we probably had every flavor. No one complained and everyone loved what they got. I highly recommend taking advantage of the outdoor seating, it's just so beautiful. The servings here are huge and I wasn't even close to finishing my two scoops. And by the way, one scoop isn't actually "one scoop"- it's much more. Yes, the ice cream is a little more expensive than most places but it's so dang good and of course hits the spot after a day on the lake. read more

I was reluctant because of the 3.5 star average. Not sure what those lower reviews are upset about. Huge portions--especially compared to the ice cream joint a few hundred feet to the west. Yes, it takes a while to get through the line, but the kids behind the counter are working their butts off! And there's no room to add more employees. The reality is the place is serving as many customers as is possible for such a small joint. The ice cream flavors I had were probably 8 out of 10, but I'm kind of an ice cream snob. I made the mistake of getting a double when a single would have been *plenty*. read more

Well, not really impressive. First, it's an ice cream place. But - they manage to sell ice cream and gelato, which means the same ice cream, just in Italian . For some portions (8$) scoops were small, for others at the same price - large. At the end - it was very expensive. Paid for four portions around 35$. Quality ok, but nothing special. Service inexperienced and not very friendly. Outside pation was nice though. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I went to Log Cabin Ice Cream with high hopes, but all I got was frustration. We waited in line for 20 minutes, eagerly anticipating some late-night ice cream. When we finally got to the front at 9:50 PM, they had the audacity to tell us they weren't serving anymore because it was "too late." Are you kidding me? The store was supposed to close at 10:00 PM, and they couldn't be bothered to serve the customers already waiting? I'm all for enforcing rules, but this was just rude and unreasonable. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere that values their customers. Total waste of time! The two workers were also very ugly. yk who you are:)))) xx btw my friends and I are in the area for 3 more days, so I would really appreciate free ice cream the rest of our stay! Thanks! read more
