Great little place for dessert and a drink. Very friendly staff and cozy location. The gaming area was limited but very engaging for little ones. Definition a great find and worth the stop. read more

I've been here twice now and I'm hooked! The flavors aren't your basic "vanilla or chocolate"kind of deal..there's always something a little different and more exciting than the last! The waffle cones are unbelievably delicious, and the ice cream is super creamy but smooth! The kind you could eat for hours!! The staff has been really chill and friendly both times I've come in, which makes the whole vibe even better. Plus, they've got video games upstairs and outside seating that's perfect for people-watching while you dive face deep into your waffle cone!! Definitely one of those spots where you walk away already planning your next trip back! I'll be back for the peach flavor soon!! read more

a very cute yeti-themed ice cream shop. i got the cookie dough and coffee. they weren't overly sweet, and it was super satisfying. decided to come by, and it was the right choice. it had the local feel that i was looking for as a visitor. there are four machines on the second floor to play games. make sure to bring cash or quarters; they don't give cash back. it can be cramped if it gets busy, but that wasn't a problem on a wednesday afternoon. read more

Our New Favorite Place for a Sweet Treat We just discovered Yeti Tavern in downtown Auburn, and I have to say, it's a total gem! As a family with two young boys, we are always on the lookout for places that are both delicious and welcoming, and this place checks all the boxes. The moment you walk in, the vibe is just so cool and fun--like you're on a real adventure! The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, especially with my kids who took forever to decide on their flavors. They made us feel right at home and were happy to help us with our choices. The ice cream itself is fantastic. They have a great selection of hand-dipped flavors, and you can get them in fresh waffle cones, as floats, or even in specials of the month. My boys loved their scoops, and I was really impressed with how fresh everything tasted. It's the kind of place where you can tell they care about quality. If you're looking for a perfect family outing, Yeti Tavern is a must-visit. We'll definitely be making this our go-to spot for ice cream adventures from now on! Big shout out to the specials! We had 2 yeti scoops which are cute and the boys loved the design. read more

The Yeti Tavern - Yeti Special of the Month - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Auburn, California

My husband and I stopped here for ice cream as we were in the area of beautiful Auburn. I found out about this little gem here on Yelp, and when the reviews mentioned they served Gunther's ice cream and how good it was, I knew we just had to go, since we have mad love for ice cream! We were greeted by the sweetest, most friendly and adorable young woman behind the counter as soon as we stepped in. She was standing in front of the freezer/ice cream counter with numerous large ice cream containers with very delicious looking (and even more delicious sounding ) flavors like banana, horchata, animal cookie, chocolate peanut butter, and the usual flavors you'd find at an ice cream shop. It was hard to decide! What's awesome too is that they let you sample a flavor if you are curious as to how you would like it. I ended up getting the banana ice cream and the chocolate peanut butter ice cream, nestled in one of their freshly made sugar cones , which was an excellent decision! It was the best ice cream I've ever had and the cone was perfect! My Husband enjoyed his ice cream as well and Gunther's ice cream is truly not your ordinary ice cream ! We had a nice conversation with the young lady behind the counter, and she even advised us that if we wanted a float some time in the future, they are the only ice cream shop around that you can get a ice cream float with one of their many different types of craft beer that they have on tap, and even suggested some combinations with those beers and the unique flavors of ice cream that they have!! I have never heard of anything like that and thought that was such a wonderful idea and sounded like something fun to try next time, with her advice on which pairings to use! Now I see why they call this place a tavern also and they have a real cute looking arcade upstairs that's up in the loft that looks down to the main floor of this cute establishment . Oh, and last but not least, they give you huge scoops of ice cream here!!! I can't believe how big the scoops were and the price here is fantastic for what you get!! So if you're looking for a cute little arcade, some great craft beer on tap, and some amazing ice cream with inventive flavors, served by one of the nicest and helpful staff (the young lady who assisted us really loves her job you can tell!), you have to stop here!!!! I know we'll be back as we come to Auburn occasionally and I don't think we can come back but without stopping here, lol!! I love the name too. It's very creative!! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Amazing ice cream flavors. (Gunther's). I had a double cone with banana rocky road and pecan praline, so delicious. They also have beer on tap and pinball in the upstairs loft area. Staff is super friendly, and the vibe is chill. I definitely recommend dropping by to give it a try when you are in the area. read more

I was in North Lake Tahoe and around Truckee trying to find an ice cream shop several times and they were all closed for the season despite the warm weather. The closest store I found that wasn't a chain store/fast food spot was The Yeti Tavern. Thanks to the photos of the beer ice cream float, we immediately decided to come here. Upon arriving, Dallas was there to greet us and was super friendly, even suggesting where there is nearby scenic views. I tried many ice cream samples and we also got to try beer samples too. We decided on a peach + green tea ice cream cone and a beer float. Delicious! Before leaving, Dallas gave us a magnet souvenir as if he had read my mind!!! In Truckee I looked in all the stores to find a souvenir magnet for my fridge and couldn't find any at all. He definitely made our day! I'd definitely love to come back next time I pass by: 5 star experience! read more

The staff are friendly and generous with the hot fudge and delicious ice cream. Very unique spot, and my kids love the pinball machines too.

We drove here specifically because my dad wanted ice cream. Then, lo and behold, he discovered it was ice cream & beer, and I've never seen such a big smile on his face. Some of us got ice cream - pretty standard flavors but good quality - and some got beer (they seemed pleased with their choices. Then we went upstairs and played arcade games for about a half hour. Such a fun little place, and the young woman working the counter was as nice as could be. We don't live near Auburn, but we do visit a few times a year, so we'll definitely be back. read more

Service was wonderful. The ice cream in the freshly made waffle cone was delicious. We will definitely come back and enjoy the Yeti Tavern again. read more

Adorable atmosphere, it's really well decorated. The person who served us the ice cream was very nice and as we were the only ones in the shop, we had a nice conversation with her. The ice cream, I had vanilla and chocolate on a waffle cone, was literally the best I've ever had. I still drool thinking about it. My friends also got different flavours and said they were the bomb. read more

Came here with family on a weekday evening while visiting the area. I think we'll skip it next time - it just wasn't for us. Pros: -polite employee -pinball machines -unique ice cream flavors Cons: -very small and cramped, definitely no room for a line -there was a really strong perfume smell. When I asked what it was, she said she didn't know, but that a lot of people mention it. -beer floats tasted bad, and were 85% foam read more

Very fun establishment. The most unique ice cream shop I've ever been. Great beer on tap and pinball upstairs will keep me coming back. Not to mention all the employees are very friendly and efficient. If you haven't been here you're missing out. read more

We stopped in from Tahoe for some ice cream and we were pleasantly surprised with some smooth, delicious ice cream! I loved the mint chocolate chip with tiny chops and my kids loved the chocolate ice cream and orange. My husband was also able to try a small IPA on tap and said it was delightful. In addition, the young lady working was a delight to have and very helpful with allowing us to sample the ice creams. Thank you! Great spot. read more

Great ambiance. Great staff. Unique flavors. The homemade waffle cones are out of this world.

The ice cream was good, my kids loved it. However I really didn't appreciate the music that was playing with tons of curse words. An ice cream shop doesn't need f bombs being dropped like that! And the smell in the place was weird too. read more

Decent ice cream but nothing special and not enough choices. Hoping that will change as it was so nice to go out for ice cream in Auburn!

What a great place for Downtown! Ice cream is a bit of an Achilles heel of mine ( yeah, yeah, dental jokes aside, all things in moderation) and we've been looking forward to a great ice cream shop for a few years. Dallas is a great host and even hooked our dog up. Haven't tried the beer float, yet, but is very intriguing. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

The beer float is awesome. Customer service is great. We'll come back. An Auburn must see!!!

Delicious soda float and calm vibes while escaping the heat. Absolutely fun place that will need to visit again.

Super good ice cream (mint chip, green tea), friendly staff, fair prices, fun atmosphere (my kids loved playing the pinball machines upstairs). Such a great addition to downtown Auburn! Can't wait to go back! read more
