    I have been a patron of Loard's for many years and it is one of the "original" ice cream shops in Livermore that had been around for as long as I can remember! After dinner a few nights ago we decided to stop by this Loard's (we usually go to the one on second street but this was closer) and just by walking in the door I was stunned. The interior was messy and dirty and very barren of any decorations, the man behind the counter was not very hospitable, and it appeared that every request we made was a burden. I would certainly recommend that anyone who wants ice cream go to Loard's on second street or another ice cream store

    A San Leandro native, I grew up on Loard's Ice Cream and during a recent trip to Downtown Livermore a few friends and I decided to get some an "ice cream nightcap" if you will while my friends were having a night out in Downtown Livermore. While there were many different flavor offerings to choose from, I ended up choosing the peppermint. It was good and refreshing, but not sure why but my ice cream melted super fast :( while my friends' stayed consistent longer. Customer service wasn't bad. The workers were very friendly and welcome to give any suggestions as needed. Overall? Not necessarily wow'd by this location but still find Loard's to be a delightful treat to end or start any day or night. There's a variety of flavors to choose from so there's likely to be something for you here as well.

    Let me start saying that this review is specifically for this location, cause I haven't visit other ones yet... Ambience: very Spartan, looks like it is still under construction, and definitely not very clean (Windows, ice cream display cases -clear top part and lower part badly stained, floor, chairs and tables). Unfortunately I got my pants badly stained since I seated on a dirty chair (I didn't pay attention before sitting!!!) where someone else had spilled ice cream and obviously nobody took care of clean it before next customer (in this case me) used that chair. And this brings me to the service : not really good, one employee only, in a busy and hot afternoon can't really take care of customers in a proper way and keep the place clean at the same time. To be honest she wasn't the most customer oriented person either :)))) she looked annoyed by our questions (first time we were having Loard's ice cream) , but I totally accept that everybody can have a "nope" day. Talking about the ice cream, to me it was definitely too sweet and not enough flavorful, I mean you expect that a dark chocolate really tastes like what it suppose to be, in my opinion was pretty bland. Even banana hadn't a well defined taste... On top of that, I found the product a bit too pricey for what I really got. May be I have simply walked into the wrong location, so, I plan to give them another try in the future.

    Strawberry Sorbet

    Friendly service from the cashiers, cute ambiance, and best of all, THEY HAVE SORBET!! I went to the one in Castro Valley and although that one has a way cuter theme of decor going on, this Loard's has Sorbet! You don't find many ice cream shops that offer sorbet. Even though I was stuffed from lunch, I couldn't pass up the opportunity of getting a scoop of Strawberry Sorbet. Now, normally I would've gotten the Single scoop cup but being so full, I was lucky they offered Kids scoops! The selection of flavors here are very unique as well and my friends who did try the regular ice cream they had agreed this place was as good as other have said it was.

    pecan praline

    Environment It's a small little ice cream with an old school vibe. It has these vintage pictures on the wall. I can imagine it would be a great spot to bring kids in the summer from the extreme heat! Food I ordered pecan praline on a waffle cone. Honestly, there wasn't anything special about the ice cream where I would want to come back. I would rather go to Cream down the street because I think the value is more worth it there. Service The staff was very friendly. I was shocked by all the negative reviews with the service. The guy offered me his opinion on the best flavors, and let me take my time.

    MENU IS SO GOOD

    See all

    I finally got my son to try Loard's. He loved it! So glad to be able to share my favorite spot for ice cream in this town.

    Their mango and strawberry ice cream are the BOMB!!!!! I'll definitely come back again and try their milkshakes and soda floats next time.
