    Caramel and marshmallow sundae, brownie sundae

    Loard's is a retro, throwback ice cream shop. The chairs are straight out of Mary Poppins. The sundaes never disappoint! They give you generous servings with generous toppings. You order at the counter and they bring your plates to your table. It's a fun throwback! You can buy candy as well as boba there now too. It's a great place to stop in. You can also purchase packaged ice cream to go!

    The best ice cream. We usually get a black & white and my wife gets a black & tan .Friendly staff. Old town feel. It takes you back in time to when Livermore was as a small town. It's been around since 1950. One of the original locations. Love this establishment so much I even picked up a cool Lourde's ice cream shirt. I went to the original shop in Oakland as a kid. This place is special. Hi

    Yum!!! The Livermore Loard's location has been around for a while now and we love visiting when we're in a "sundae mood". The ice cream parlor is decorated cute and feels like you're transported into an old school dinner. The service is always awesome, and the ladies who run the shop are always kind. They have a lot of different ice cream flavors, toppings, and sundae options for you to choose from. Most recently my husband got the brownie sundae and I got the banana sundae. Both were fantastic! Highly recommend visiting!

    What I remember most about this place is the cute, pink diner-like restaurant setting. I was visiting a friend in Livermore and she recommended that we come here for dessert. The food and service was alright. I would be down to come here again though for some ice cream on a warm day if I'm in the area !

    This was our first time trying this spot out. We went with Sundays, which come in a long spoon and glass container topped with whipped cream and a cherry. You can build your own or get something that is already on the menu. I would suggest if you like ice cream to give it a try.

    Classic vibe with pink and white booths. Many ice cream flavors options, also offers sundae, root beer float, chocolates, candies, drink and more. I tried green tea flavor ice cream but it's not very green tea, the waffle cone tastes good. Although there's no tasting and sitting time limit is 30 min, I would still support a local ice cream shop over a ice cream chain.

    Loards is a Bay Area Classic! I love the vintage vibe of the place. Great ice cream & candy. Service is great, very friendly staff.

    I was craving ice cream and opted for the chocolate ice cream. This was gooooood. The place does not have bathrooms for customers though. The ice cream was creamy but sometimes I'd get hints of ice in there. It wasn't as smooth as I'd want but the flavor was really good! They had a lot of cool options but hard to know since you can't really see how they look like.

    Honestly would had been a 5 star if there wasn't a sign that said "limit sitting to 30 minutes" Great ice cream to enjoy during a walk in Livermore's downtown. The inside area is very pleasant and comfortable ' The black Cherry ice cream was creamy and tasty. The chunks of black Cherry add extra flavor to it. In addition the pineapple and coconut ice-cream also has coconut and pineapple chunks that make the ice-cream very tasty. The cherry top is a must and the wip cream is tasty. The ladies were so kind and patient while people decided what to order. 4/5

    a sign that reads please order

    Kinda crazy not to offer samples when the ice cream is 8-10. Can't comment on the quality or flavor because I didn't get to try it.

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

    My friends and I stuffed our faces with pizza and decided to walk it off to check out places around…read moredowntown. It was a very hot Saturday and we decided to cool off with some ice cream from Loard's. I have always been a fan since my childhood, butter brickle and peppermint ice cream are my go-to. I had never visited this location before. Walking in, the ambiance wasn't giving me the warm fuzzies like the other well-lit Loard's locations did. It's pretty dim with only one window emitting any light from outside. It still has it's pink and white interior, but it doesn't scream "ice cream shop." One thing that stood out to me was the menu. It appeared they might've updated several of their prices with the edits marked all over it. It just looks tacky, but I understand that making a new sign can be costly. Hopefully in the near future this could be given a nice facelift. We ordered a scoop of ube, a scoop of toasted almond, and a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Unfortunately you couldn't eat indoors so we stood outside the shop and hurried to eat the ice cream before it melted. Would I come back here again? Maybe, but I prefer the Castro Valley location more as it just gives more of the feels of an actual ice cream shop and it's got a pleasant vibe to it.
