2025 Centurion Award winner

Awarded against five published criteria, checked on public evidence.

Gunther's Ice Cream

Best Ice Cream in Sacramento · CA

Shop · Sacramento, CA · Since 1940

The overview

Jugglin' Joe has flipped scoops since 1940

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.
