Lappert’s Ice Cream

.
Art there two (or three) Lappert’s Ice Cream shops in Sausalito?
  Many websites list two Lappert’s locations in Sausalito, this one and another at 817 Bridgeway.  To locals and to the Sausalito Business License people this place is “Lappert’s Ice Cream.” The one a block farther north (just north of Poggio and Casa Madrona) is inside the Fish and Chips of Sausalito shop, which is also owned by Michael Lappert and also has a Lappert’s counter inside.  The two shops are barely a block apart on the same side of the street in downtown Sausalito.

Oh, but then last year we also got COA Chocolate and Gelato in Sausalito, where Lappert’s ice cream is also available (because Lappert’s owns the shop!).

Historical Note: You may be familiar with Lappert’s from their shops in Kauai. Locals from Sausalito proudly point out that the Lappert family is from Marin and that the first Lappert’s Ice Cream Shop actually was this one, here in Sausalito. The company founder, Walter Lappert, moved to Kauai in the early 1980s and saw the opportunity there. When he passed away, half of the company came to his son Michael Lappert, who had remained in Marin. Michael’s son, Isaac Lappert, has also become a restaurateur in the region. The Hawaiian and Mainland operations of the company now each run semi-autonomously and offer different flavors.

A Classification Problem: We include Lappert’s Ice Cream on our “Best Cafes, Diners and Deli’s List” even though they don’t serve lunch in recognition of their importance in the Sausalito food scene.

Lappert’s serves great ice cream and has a nice little shop.   If you want to go lower-cal than ice cream they also serve a variety of smoothies as well as coffee and espresso.  They’re open till 9:00 at night during the summer so on a nice evening you can come here after dinner at one of the Bay and City view restaurants and get an ice cream treat to wrap up a perfect evening.  Some might allege that on a warm summer day their ice cream cones have medicinal value or are part of a holistic spiritual rebirth.  Some day we plan to do a big expose of the subtle differences between their Lappert’s ice cream and the ice cream they serve two blocks away at Fish and Chips of Sausalito, but we have to try at least five more flavors at each place before our high journalistic standards will allow us to publish the story.

.

Something else that people should know about Lappert’s Ice Cream?  Upset that they don’t have organic probiotic quinoa non-GMO polenta yogurt with flax seeds sprinkled on top?  Disagree with any of our suggestions?  Please let us know!
