The Scoop Everyone's Talking About

There are a lot of ways to cool off during an August afternoon at Tahoe Beach Club. Think… a swim in the lake, a paddleboard session across glassy water, and a cold drink under an umbrella. But if you ask around the beach, you'll quickly discover that one summer tradition has quietly become a member favorite.

Stella's homemade ice cream. Yep, you heard me right. It’s a fan favorite!

In fact, her creations have become part of the beach club summer rhythm. After a day on the beach, you'll often see members wandering toward Starboard Bar & Grille, already asking the same question before they reach the counter:

"What flavors did Stella make this week?" That's because you never quite know what she'll dream up next.

Of course, the classics are always waiting. Rich vanilla and decadent chocolate never go out of style. But Stella is known for creating flavors you simply won't find anywhere else. One week it might be honey with toasted sunflower seeds. Another, a tiramisu-inspired creation infused with freshly brewed espresso. Every batch feels a little like a surprise, and that's exactly what keeps members coming back for another scoop.

Not in the mood for ice cream? Stella's homemade sorbets have developed a following of their own. Light, refreshing, and bursting with fresh fruit, they're the perfect companion to a warm Tahoe afternoon. Right now, her passion fruit sorbet has everyone talking, delivering the kind of bright, tropical flavor that somehow tastes even better after a day spent in the sun.

It's funny how the smallest traditions often become the most memorable. A family debating which flavor to try, kids excitedly comparing scoops, or friends lingering on the deck just a little longer because dessert turned into another conversation.

Yep, some members come for the lake, some for the pool, and others…well, it’s all about the flavors.

After all, you never know what Stella will create next.
