    Little Truckee Ice Creamery is a must-stop on a hot summer day! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the ice cream was absolutely delicious. We especially enjoyed the Blueberry Honey Lavender flavor and the Salted Caramel Affogato—the perfect treat on a warm afternoon. If you're in the area, this is definitely worth a visit!

    3/20/26 Great ice cream but steep price. That’s the beach tax for ya. Summer has arrived on the first day of spring and there is only one guy working the business. Could use more people working to get through the line quicker.
