Our original recipe from the 1940’s includes a higher percentage of butterfat cream than commercial brands to produce our rich, smooth ice cream.

First time visit, cool little, safe neighborhood. Crowded but the service was fast. Moved faster than we could chose a flavor! Lol! Outstanding and delicious ice cream. Kids loved it!

I highly recommend the 50/50 fruit freeze, sooo good. The fruit freeze made with real fruit chunks plus the creamy vanilla ice cream is such a good combination.
I got the pineapple, vanilla and strawberry 50/50.
Gunther’s is a local spot in sac that’s been open since the 1940’s. Check this place out if you haven’t yet!

Absolutely the best ice cream in town!
Gunther’s Ice Cream never disappoints — from the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by that nostalgic charm and the smell of freshly made waffle cones. Their ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavor — you can taste the quality and care in every scoop.
My personal favorites are the 50/50 (strawberry and/or mango freeze + vanilla/pineapple coconut/coconut/taro/coffee ice cream/mint chip) but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff are always friendly, and even when the line wraps around the corner, it’s totally worth the wait.
Gunther’s isn’t just an ice cream shop — it’s a Sacramento tradition. Perfect for family outings, date nights, or just treating yourself after a long day. Highly recommend!

Got the 50/50 medium sized cup that you can get up to 3 scopes: 1-2 fruit flavors and one ice cream flavor
The scopes I got were Strawberry, French Vanilla & Mango. Simple and perfect balance between light and creamy

Timeless sacramento gem. We moved from sac 6 months ago and I still think about the fruit freeze all the time. A great local spot with delicious ice cream, great vibes and fast service.

Unfortunately, it feels like Gunther’s has gone downhill since the last time I’ve been. We got 2 flavors: Toasted Almond & Black Walnut. The Toasted Almond was extremely artificial tasting. The Black Walnut was good, but has no actual Black Walnut pieces in it. Both of these things just told us they didn’t care about making good ice cream, just selling it. I gave an extra star for the large portions they give, which is nice.

Reminds me of childhood memories of ice creamery stores likes Moo’s back in the 70’s it was so good. Totally Nostalgic with all the variations of flavors. I do not know if it’s only during the holidays but they have eggnog and a eggnog flavored ice-cream. They make sandwiches as well. The customer service is excellent. The staff members actually hit the ball out of the park themselves with customer service. They allow you to try numerous flavors if you like. I always know exactly what I like but the quality of their products are GREAT and that’s hard to say in this economy but this business here is not cutting any corners to provide the consumer with excellent product. Just as rich and creamy as the first day I tried it for the first time. Even for a family outing take a ride to Sacramento just for this ice cream. I do come from the bay area when I can because it’s well worth the treat and the trip. Again this place is great and they have set a very high bar for the competition. Yet there’s room for other’s. If you have not visited please do and have your taste buds awakened.

Gunther’s Ice Cream is hands down my favorite ice cream spot ever—nothing even comes close. I’ve tried plenty of ice cream and freeze places, and Gunther’s just hits different. The custard ice cream in the middle is to DIE for… creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced every single time.
I even went to Joe’s Italian Ice and all it did was make me miss Gunther’s more I seriously found myself wishing I was back in Sac just to get my fix. That’s how you know it’s elite.
Gunther’s, PLEASE open a location in the Bay Area—I promise you’d have a line out the door every day. Until then, I’ll keep making excuses to come back to Sacramento just for you ❤️

This place was amazing! Our server Athena was so nice and patient. We are here visiting our kids from Dallas and took the whole family. What a great atmosphere. Such nice people all around. Great location. Good music. Good vibe. And the price was right! We will be going back for sure before heading home.
