2025 Centurion Award winner
Gunther's Ice Cream
Best Ice Cream in Sacramento · Sacramento, CA
Best Ice Cream in Sacramento · Sacramento, CA
Gunther's has made quality ice cream on Franklin Boulevard since 1940, an 80-year Sacramento landmark still using original recipes richer in butterfat than the commercial brands. Its 'Iceburgers,' real-fruit 'freezes,' and the neon 'Juggling Joe' sign out front are Curtis Park institutions.
Family-run for generations, Gunther's is the ice cream parlor Sacramento lines up at on a hot Valley evening — a genuine midcentury classic that has never needed to change.

Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Gunther's Ice Cream (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
