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

This is the perfect place to cool down and enjoy a sweet treat! 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. The backyard is super cute with lots of fun animal decor and tables with umbrellas for shade.

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. They have a nice outdoor seating area, 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. Not to mention that I also saw a tiny mouse crawl out of their shop into the backyard area. Poorly ran and probably serves poison ice cream with how dirty this place is. 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!!!!

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.

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

Gem mom and pop shop! Customer service is outstanding, the young man who helped us was patient, saw that we had a kids wagon and directed us to a bigger entrance. He went above and beyond. The ice cream is yummy! Good portions for the price you pay, can't beat that! There is seating indoor and outdoor. There's lots of games and kids toys to enjoy while eating ice cream and drinking coffee. Definitely a great spot to enjoy your day or evening and relax. Will definitely recommend to family and friends!

This is pretty much the most family friendly place I have seen. We were walking by and decided to come check it out. Our 2 year old immediately found the bike rack filled with all of the tricycles and scooters and was ready to have a blast. The back patio is huge and everything is so dog and child friendly. Staff was super friendly and came out to say hi to the pup and give him his pup cup. The ice cream and coffee were both really enjoyable. We had such a good time hanging out here we came back the next day. We will certainly be back.

The crazy owner.

Fun & Unique Dessert Spot -- Great for Kids!…read more We often make a stop at The Baked Bear when we're in South Lake Tahoe for a sweet, memorable treat! This place has a very fun and unique concept -- you get to build your own custom ice cream sandwich by choosing your favorite cookies or brownies and pairing them with premium ice cream in the middle. You can even add toppings or have it pressed warm for an extra gooey indulgence. Personally, it's much sweeter than I normally go for -- definitely a sugar overload -- but that's exactly what makes it a perfect treat for kids. They absolutely loved it! It's big, rich, and very instagram‑worthy! For what you get, about $9.50 is pretty fair in South Lake Tahoe -- especially considering how fresh the cookies and ice cream are and how customizable the dessert is. It's the kind of place where you choose your own adventure with cookie flavors, ice cream flavors, and toppings, and the friendly staff is great at helping you decide what goes best together. We enjoy the vibe here -- it's relaxed, the staff is kind and helpful, and it makes for a fun family stop after dinner or while exploring downtown. Definitely a great spot if you're in the mood for a creative and delicious dessert experience! Especially if you are good at sharing :)

Really tasty! Great flavors of both ice cream and cookies. Fair prices. And super great staff…read more My twins fought over flavors to split one, and the dude accommodated and split the baby so they each had their own flavor for their cookie. That, my friends, is customer service!
