Top Ice Cream Parlors & Creameries

Tahoe Creamery's owners have a long history in the ice cream business and are now making their treats in Minden in the Carson Valley. They use milk from Nevada cows and many other Nevada made ingredients. Multiple flavors include one specially made for UNR called Wolf Pack Tracks. You can get Tahoe Creamery ice cream at Scolari's and 7-Eleven stores around the area. Two ice cream parlors dish up Tahoe Creamery flavors in the immediate vicinity. You'll also see the Tahoe Creamery mobile unit at various area events, like the Reno River Festival.

I still like these places even though lots of competition has sprung up lately. Must be the familiarity since I've been going to B-R since I was a kid. The ice cream cakes are pretty good.
