Mourelatos’ Cable Car Ice Cream Parlor – Tahoe Vista, California

The other day we were out and after our swim we say the umbrellas and ice cream sign and had to stop.

If you’ve ever been through the Tahoe Vista area here in Lake Tahoe in the summer you’ve seen this small ice cream shop. While Mourelatos’ Cable Car Ice Cream Parlor is a seasonal business ( open early June through early September) you’ll find it’s worth the trip to the Tahoe Vista area!

Located right across from the Mourelatos Lakeshore Resort at 6834 North Lake Blvd., in Tahoe Vista this small little walk-up ice cream stand will take you back in time to when you were a kid and couldn’t wait to get to the dairy freeze, or local drug store that had those amazing fountain drinks.

The menu, while small, is loaded with all of the items you’d expect to see at an ice cream shop. They have milk shakes, root beer floats, or have a malt shake. You can get a single, or double scoop of ice cream on a cone – your choice of a cake cone, sugar cone, or waffle cone, or have a custom sundae.

If you are feeling adventurous check out their specialties like a traditional banana split, the Donner Pass, Rocky Mountain, and my new personal favorite the Sandy Beach, named after Sandy Beach just down the street here in Tahoe Vista.

The Sandy Beach Sundae is one scoop of Kona Chip ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, malt (looks just like sand) and a cherry on top. It’s an unlikely combination of wonderful flavors that when you’re done licking the bowl you’ll tell yourself you can always diet tomorrow!
