"Munnerlyn's always has the best ice cream. I stop on my way up to the mountains and it's my favorite part of the drive. Kit Carson Crunk is my all-time favorite flavor, but their other flavors are also delicious. This is their 2 small scoops, on a waffle cone."

"Amazing Homemade Icecream!!! I got the Butter Pecan & Kit Carson Coffee and it was INCREDIBLE! The butter pecan was smooth l, buttery, & full of pecans. The coffee was delicious too. I just cant remember what it had in it. Haha! Customer service was on point too. Very attentive and friendly. Highly Recommended!"

"Came to camp at Gold Country and stopped by this homemade ice cream shop. Service is fast, despite it being a bit busy. I liked the lemon but didn't love it. I got it since it was recommended by one of the employees. I loved the toasted almond ice cream though! There were real almonds inside and it was creamy while crunchy. There are some pretty unique flavors here and I would like to try more. I appreciate that the ice cream isn't overly sweet too, so I feel like I can eat a lot of it!"

"Some excellent flavors, including a chocolate with a hint of cabernet, very tasty. Pastashio was my second choice, looked fantastic with lots of Pastashios. Don't miss out on their waffle cones. They're a must. Great staff, big scoops. They'll be on my go to places whenever I'm heading to Tahoe or Nevada!"

"I live 90 minutes away from Pine Grove and this place is a hidden gem! Probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Sometimes I take some home with me to share with family."

"Munnerlyn's has the best ice cream & most creative flavors EVER - all made on site! My favorites are "Mother May I Join The Circus" (or just "Circus" for short) which is cake batter ice cream with Mother's Circus Cookies pieces & "Scotchmellow" which is marshmallow icecream with chocolate pieces and a butterscotch swirl. The staff is mostly made up of local kids who are friendly & always happy to help! It's truly a hidden gem! If you're ever driving up Hwy 88 through Pine Grove, this place is a MUST STOP! You won't be disappointed!!"
