The human mouth, which maintains a near-boiling temperature, needs to be constantly cooled by liquid-nitrogen pills or a jaw-mounted mouth fan. Take a more delicious route to cooling your maw with today's Groupon: for $4, you get $8 worth of ice cream, sandwiches, and treats at Sac Town Ice Cream & Sandwiches, located in the Natomas Park Shopping Center.

Sac Town appeases both sweet and savory teeth by serving up a one-two punch of Gunther's Homemade Ice Cream and gourmet sandwiches. Knock one of more than 40 ice-cream flavors into your mouth park with a single ($2.60) scoop, or go for a double ($4.15) or triple ($5.45) play. Other melty treats include banana-split sundaes ($6.45), milkshakes ($4.75–$5.75), and chocolate-dipped cherries ($4.50/dozen). If your stomach is aching for heat-impermeable sustenance, de-grumble it with a hearty, gourmet pastrami sandwich ($5.75), turkey sandwich ($4.95), or grilled cheese ($3.45).

After staring at the sun all day, Sac Town's mint walls and silvery seating will cool overheated eyes, and its friendly staff will snappily cure cravings for creamy, mouth-moistening treats. Though open at 10:30 a.m. each day, Sac Town is closed Sundays.

Seven Yelpers give Sac Town an average of 4.5 stars:

• So tonight I bought a tuna sandwich on wheat bread and a pint of espresso chip ice cream to go. The staff is young kids mostly, but I had very good service. My sandwich is tasty - a tuna sandwich isn't complicated, but it was done right and was really good. And the ice cream. Yum. If you know Gunther's, you know it's good. If you don't, try some. There's about 30 flavors, and I wanted to try at least half of them. – Ben G.
• We love this place! It's great to have a local ice cream shop. The staff is always kind and they remember us (maybe it's because we're there so often). The ice cream is delicious and there are so many great flavors, everyone is pleased. Jennifer S.
