First off, Sausalito is awesome. Secondly, Lappert's is also awesome! The staff is so kind and helpful. The ice cream is amazing. The location is so relaxing. We'll certainly be back. read more

I got the chocolate peanut butter flavor, and the ice cream was decent. The peanut butter came in large chunks, which I wasn't expecting, and they tasted salty for my liking. The ordering process was also disorganized. Staff take your order first, but then you have to get in another line to pay, which creates multiple lines and slows things down. read more

First although crowded, they organized well. One person near the door directed you to one of three lines which moved efficiently. Once inside we placed our order and paid within 5 minutes. Second, they had many flavors and many unique flavors. I tried one I had never had: caramel coco macadamia. Fantastic! Third, it was well made, nice and creamy. Finally it was only a little sweet. It was so nice to have ice cream with just enough sugar not excessive sugar, not overly sweet. One thing to improve: the electronic menu. It cycles too fast. Instead of changing the contents three times, get more screens and have them static. read more

Lappert's Ice Cream is a must visit in Sausalito! They have amazing and unique flavors, and the ice cream is super creamy. The staff were friendly, and the ambience is cute inside. A lot of people stop by Lappert's for a sweet treat while walking along the Sausalito boardwalk. Their scoops are pretty big too, great value and delicious! read more

UGHHH the cookie monster ice cream is just sooo pretty and delicious - I am craving it! Lappert's Ice Cream is a great ice cream spot around the area. Huge scoops. Delicious ice cream. A very nice way to eat it is by walking around the water - some peace, serenity, and the blue cookie monster. read more

We ordered the sea salt caramel flavor, and it was huge enough to share. The flavor was so good -- the slight saltiness balanced the rich sweetness of the caramel perfectly. We chose a chocolate almond waffle cone, which we both liked. The ice cream store was very popular, so it was crowded inside. I will definitely come back to try other flavors. read more

I came here for ice cream one weekend afternoon. There was a line and a crowd when I stopped by. We are able to sample a variety of flavors and they have so many flavors available. They had a lot of ice cream flavors I have not had before, the ice cream was good. Got the guava sorbet which was fine, but the coconut pineapple and the nuku hiva were good. read more

I believe the last time I've been to this spot in Sausalito was when I was in medical school attending the American College of Physicians conference in San Francisco. That was nearly 13 years ago. I had a chance to return today. I remember the cookies and the quaint appearance of this neighborhood ice cream shop. The shop keepers were very kind and accommodating. I'm sure the flavor options have since changed. That was the first time I've had the Guava Cheesecake and the Chocolate with Macadamia nut flavors. They were both truly grand and were the delight of an afternoon sitting on the benches observing the beauty of the bay area this afternoon. Thanks for the memories. read more

Ice cream with unique flavors and tropical region flavors. The single ice cream scoop is pretty large, with waffle cone, it is $7.55. Afternoon weekend has a short line. Need better organization, maybe an extension of waiting line rope since customers kept bumping into each other to grab the wooden spoons. Employees were trying to guide customers, but no one was listening and the store is quite loud. Ordered a Kauai pie which has coffee, macadamia nuts, coconut shreds. This flavor is not too swee, but does not stand out. The cone was crunchy, I believe they import cone from Italy. Overall, the store is nice. Interesting ice cream flavors, but it tastes like your standard ice cream. read more

We came in on a summer weekday afternoon. This shop is pretty small with only a little seating indoors & a little seating outside. It was fairly busy. Don't plan on being able to stay to enjoy your ice cream. We saw a list of flavors up on the wall. Because the counter was crowded with big groups before us, we couldn't get a look at the ice cream prior to our turn. I snagged quick pics of some cases between getting blocked again. There wasn't a line order per se & a worker would just call for whoever was next. Customer service didn't feel friendly or welcoming at all. It felt rushed with an obvious impatient attitude to hurry & tell them what you want, no offer of a sample or to answer any questions. We just decided to go off the flavor list on the wall for some tasty sounding straightforward choices. We got scoops of Vanilla Bean, Kahlua Truffle, & Chocolate Peanut Butter. The ice cream was delicious, flavorful, rich, & creamy. We got good sized scoops that we really enjoyed. read more

If you're in Sausalito, this classic ice cream shop is worth a visit. There was a long line when I walked past it, so I walked around for a bit before looping back...and the line was still long (so it must be popular for a reason)! I was able to sample some flavors and went with the Blueberry Cheesecake. Very creamy and reminds me of the Costco blueberry muffin in the best way. Also had a taste of the Mayor's Creation, which is a must try for espresso and chocolate lovers. We had our ice cream by the water, which was absolutely the cherry on top! read more

Such a cute stop in Sausalito. I've been to the Lapperts in Honolulu so i was pleasantly surprised to see it again. Got the Chocolate Macadamia Nut with the waffle cone. The waffle cone was extremely disappointing, tasted super stale. The ice cream itself was good, I liked how generous they are with the Mac nuts, I got a crunch in every bite! This place is a cute stop as you walk along the water. read more

Always see a line out the door when I'm here so finally decided to try it out. Cookie dough ice cream - the ice cream wasn't as creamy as I had hoped. The ice cream was on the icier side. The base was also bland so it relied heavily on the cookie dough and chocolate chunks. I expected more at its price point (basically $7 for a single scoop). read more

Came on a Saturday and it was quite crowded. We sampled the Kona mocha chip and rose and they were kind of rushing us so we ordered that. Due to the temperature it was quickly melting, so as the ice cream was falling we grabbed a cup to save it. One staff got so angry at us that we took a cup and insisted that we pay for it. First of all, typically ice cream places offer a cup when serving in a cone, and that wasn't even an option offered to us at payment. Would have happily paid for it initially if and when it was thoughtfully asked. Look at how big the two scoops are. Anyone with basic understanding of physics would see it's necessary. Second, paying for the cup was not an issue and the way he yelled at us was really humiliating. I understand it was a crowded day but do you really have to berate someone for a couple cents? A change of tone to say "hey sorry you have to pay for that cup by the way" would have been a decent choice. read more

Loved my chocolate cookies and cream scoop on a waffle cone! Sweet, creamy with big Oreo chunks. Popular ice cream chain in the heart of Sausalito and they definitely receive all the love from visitors judging by the long lines! Service is prompt and the scoopers are very accommodating as I sampled some flavors. They have traditional flavors like cookie dough but I also saw some fun ones like a Hawaiian type and ube. Inside is small with a few tables in the front so most get takeout and enjoy their ice cream near the water. Parking can be tricky but there's paid street and a paid lot a short walk close to the water/harbor. read more

Solid ice cream spot in downtown Sausalito! Usually there's a line, but luckily there wasn't one when we went. It was my first time back in 8 years, and it's just as good as I remember. I used to get the Cookie Monster, but this time I tried the Kauai Pie and I loved it. The mix of coffee, chocolate, and macadamia nut flavors is perfect. My boyfriend got the blueberry cheesecake and that one was really good too. I just got a single scoop, but they give you a generous amount. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

Popped into this place while visiting Sausalito in the Bay Area... and the day could not have been better. It was sunny and warm with a very soft and mild breeze. The line was a little long and I was worried however it moved along very quickly because the staff have the perfect set up for them to move efficiently and process their orders. The staff is very friendly and very patient because they recognize that there are a lot of tourist that pop into the ice cream shop that are not familiar with the process or the menu. The ice cream shop does not have too much seating on the inside as they want to maximize the space to get customers in and out however, they do have a few options for seating outside the shop. I was fortunate enough to find a table on the inside, so I was able to sit down and enjoy my ice cream while watching them get through an enormous amount of people. I ordered a hot fudge sundae with chocolate macadamia nut ice cream, and it was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The staff was very generous with the toppings and I love that every bite I took had either toasted almonds or macadamia nuts. The ice cream was not too sweet , which was a plus for me. I highly recommend this place however expect for the line to be long and wait times to be short. I waited less than 6 minutes to get to the front counter, so that was very nice. Enjoy! read more

This ice cream shop is super popular, and the prices are quite reasonable. You get a big scoop for around $7, and they even have my favorite flavor, rum raisin. Definitely worth recommending! 生意超級好的冰淇淋，加上價格也不算貴，還有七上下一大球，還有我最喜歡的蘭姆葡萄口味。算是蠻推薦的！ read more

You know an ice cream shop is legit when people willingly stand in a line that stretches out the door on a cold, San Fran day. Lappert's is tiny and charming, but the flavor selection is wide enough to make choosing feel like a small adventure. The whole shop smells sweet from the ingredients! As far as getting/being there, metered parking was pretty easy to find (free on Sundays). The shop is also a few short steps from the shore, so we got ice cream with a view. In short, the crowd was right. This place is worth it. read more

I arrived around 1 PM on a Friday and there were about 10 parties ahead of me. It took about 15-20 minutes to get my Guava Cheesecake ice cream. The weather was around 70* with a slight breeze so the wait wasn't too bad. Definitely shows how popular the place is. Seating is pretty limited with only 2-3 tables, and there's no dedicated parking lot but street parking isn't too bad. Guava Cheesecake ($5) - 8/10 I'm a big fan of strawberry and guava so I might be tad bit biased. I really enjoyed this flavor and couldn't stop eating it. The guava was nice and fresh. Super creamy without being too heavy. It didn't have that weird aftertaste that some ice creams get which was a big plus. I'd definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Got a scoop of rose water & honey flavored ice cream in a waffle cone from Lappert's and it didn't disappoint entirely. The ice cream wasn't that flavorful but it had something that kept me eating and desiring more with every bite. I would come back and try a different flavor. Lots of options for flavors of ice cream here. Friendly and helpful service, willing to let you try different flavors of their products. The waffle cone was on or the best I've ever had! read more

Lappert's usually has a pretty solid line given the popularity, however it moves quickly so worth the queue. The ice cream itself is solid, really good size for a single scoop.

After walking around downtown and passing this place several times with long lines we definitely want to try it and see what the hype was all about. My mini me treated me to a scoop of the Kona coffee ice cream here and she got the cookies and cream scoop. We really wanted the sea salt caramel but it was sold out so definitely want to come back and try that flavor. We both enjoyed our scoops. I even tried her cookies and cream mixed with coffee ice and that was the bomb!! I would comeback again and be aware of the chaos inside to get the ice cream though. My mini me told me it was nuts and there was no established line only the servers yelling next and people cutting her that she had to make her way to front to put her order in. We can see why everyone likes it and look forward to coming back and trying other stuff they have. read more

A really lovely ice cream parlor and cafe right along Sausalito's downtown drag. I appreciate that they offer pints as well as the usual cones and cups, and given that the flavors are of high quality and unique to the Lappert's brand, they're entirely affordable. And when you factor in the nearby waterfront and sweeping views of the city and Angel Island, you can't do much better than this for a casual-tier date night dessert. read more

Ice cream was good. Service was rude. I went on a weekday afternoon and there was no line and the store was quiet. I was reading the flavors in the display case since it wasn't on the overhead menu and the names weren't intuitive of what the flavor entailed. The guy, with not a polite tone, asked if I could be helped. I told him I needed a bit to look and he told me to just sample the flavors then. I was a bit taken aback by the attitude so picked two that was of some interest in front of me. They were eh so I wanted to try another and he said he can't let me sample anymore. I was pretty annoyed by then. He didn't let me know about the sample limit and I didn't see a sign that said there was a limit since he was rushing me. I went with the Mayor's which is espresso based ice cream with chocolate pieces and other stuff that I can't remember. The coffee flavor was not very strong. There were a lot of toppings though and it was actually quite filling. It was definitely on the sweeter end. The single scoop was $5.95. It is quite large for a scoop! read more

Walking on the street, it seemed like everyone had a Lappert's cone or cup in hand. This ice cream was very creamy and decently sweet. The scoop was huge! I loved being able to sample the different flavors to decide which ones I wanted. The Hawaiian-inspired flavors were all so cool -- I got the nuku hiva and my friend got the lychee. read more

I had a fun time at Lappert's Ice Cream. I was walking around Sausalito for the first time and saw everyone eating ice cream. I had to see where they got it from, and the very crowded shop with a huge ice cream sign was a no brainer. I went inside and we had to almost shove our way to get to a free server. It is a smaller cafe with lots of people. Although there is some seating, I think it is best to enjoy the ice cream outside. We were able to try a few flavors, so I asked our server what his favorite was to which he said "I don't eat ice cream." We had a laugh, but he said the Date Casablanca was good. We were curious and tried it, and ended up ordering it! We thought it was unique and enjoyable! Not too heavy, and the dates add a very strong sweetness. This place had many flavors, and they are all Hawaiian inspired. I'm curious to try more! read more

The line was incredibly long, we thought that the ice cream would be good. It was below average and the service was horrible, we ended up throwing most of our ice cream away. They were incredibly rude and dismissive and clearly do not value their customers. We tried asking for a pup cup or whipped cream on the side for our dog or even a kids scoop and they said you can only buy a kids scoop if there is a child with you. Weird rule, but that's beside the point, they were aggressive and rude for no reason. We also asked to taste a flavor and they gave us a drop of the melted ice cream. The employees were very judgmental and because they are so disorganized they thought we were just there to try flavors without purchasing, when we had already placed our order with someone else. Definitely do not recommend coming here! read more

After a morning spent in the sun, I was parched and hungry for sweets. My tummy led me to the busy doors Lappert's ice cream. Fortunately the line wasn't too long and we ordered a scoop of pistachio and a scoop of the Udderly Pure. The pistachio was creamy and has lil bits of pistachio in it. But I think my new favorite has to be the Udderly Pure. It's so rich, creamy and the perfect amount of sweet. It's not quite vanilla, but I do know it's amazing. So if hankering for some dessert, treat yourself to an unforgettable sweet treat! read more
