Absolutely amazing! The staff is so sweet and the ice cream is delicious! We have been to multiple locations and this one is super cute! This location catered the dessert at our wedding and the owner's kids were incredible to all of our guests and it was the hit of the evening!! We came to the location after the wedding and the owner's son was just as sweet to us as he was to every customer. You feel how passionate they are about their ice cream and customer service! We will be coming back often because they made our wedding so memorable! Thank you Claudina! read more

Loard's ice cream is the mom and pop ice cream parlor you have been looking for. The ice cream is delicious, and their sherbets in particular are popular. They often run out on warm weeks. The service is always spectacular and inviting. We are regular customers read more

Excellent ice cream. I was served by a cute tall blonde boy named Nolan who made sure to pack it extra tight just for me. I can tell Nolan has much experience with ice cream, even though he's new to the job. read more

Moraga Loards not my favorite. Not that clean, staff not well trained and not engaging or welcoming. I like the outdoor tables.

Love me some pistachio ice cream!!! Best place to come on a hot summers day. Shakes are great also.

Live Loard's flavorsome ice-creams and love even more this super location tucked away with convenient parking spaces, outdoor and in door sitting , super pleasant staff. read more

What a fun and sweet little old fashioned ice cream parlor this is! We took my little granddaughter here for a sugar cone lunch and you never saw a happier little one. Loards is a sure cure for the terrible two's! I adventured and tried one of their ube flavors- very neon purple and delicious! My daughter had a different ube flavor which was neon green and she was also a happy camper. What can I say? Ice cream lunch is good. read more

We booked loards for catering our wedding in August 2024. Claudina was very professional and had great communication during the whole process. She clearly explained the options and prices during our phone calls. Once we booked with Loards, Claudina even came to our rehearsal to preview the space and made sure everything was all set. When her team came to the wedding, they served ice cream and were very friendly, professional, and efficient. I'm pretty sure all of our guests got ice cream and there weren't long lines or delays at all (we had about 120 guests). Along with loving Loards ice cream from growing up in the Bay Area, I'd highly recommend booking with Loards for a wedding or event or even just stopping by when you see a local shop! :) read more

Had a great time taking Kate and Will for a special ice cream treat. Great service and tons of choices! read more

Cute ice cream shop with ice cream and candy. The strawberry ice cream tasted very fresh! Will absolutely be back!

Every time we've been to Moraga Loard's their service is far worse than Orinda's, but unfortunately they're open later so we end up here anyway. Tonight was particularly bad, waiting in line 30 minutes to end up with horribly freezer burnt cookies and cream ice cream. I would have taken it back, but the line was so long it was out the door and they were turning people away that had been in line 15 minutes before close. My husbands sundae was only 2/3 full. They always only give one stamp on the punch card even when you purchase for 4 people. The guy next to us in line said he was leaving the line to get better ice cream at Safeway and he was right. read more

My kids like it there and my grandson too. I like the banana split. Nice people. Oh and Rick always gets the peppermint. He also buys the half gallon to take home to his freezer. It's fun here and the parking is good. Well it's covid so it is pretty much good anywhere. Hahaha read more

Stopped here for a very rare indulgence: a double chocolate ice cream soda. (A chocolate soda made with chocolate ice cream.) It is a favorite from my childhood in the Midwest -- and very hard to find. I remembered seeing it in the past on the Loard's menu and was happy they still have it. In fairness to the young man who was helping me, he asked what kind of ice cream soda I wanted. Apparently different customers have different ideas of what an ice cream soda is. No, it is not a float. No, it is not a freeze. We agreed on the necessary steps and he did an okay job. Just okay, not great. Certainly, not worth $6.95. Make that $7.00. The cashier did not bother to give me change. No big deal, but odd. One other thing to note: I expect ice cream shops to be sparkling clean. The floor in front of the counter was very grimy. A turnoff for sure. read more

The Highlight of Moraga I've been here many times and I have never been let down. There's more flavors than I could imagine, and all are super good. The service is always wonderful and accommodating. It would be worth a trip just to see the inside; it's filled lots of character. read more

Great little local ice cream shop where neighborhood kids seem to still hang out. The staff were young people who were quite friendly and helpful, albeit still learning about retail. :-) The ice cream however was nothing great...not bad either. Just not memorable in any way. Thinking this was a local spot I also bought an ice cream cake but was fairly disappointed by it. read more

Our locally owned, fantastic ice cream shop. My son loves the special treat. Non-dairy options and flavored ice shavings. Pints available to go. Generally young adults behind the counter able to handle the peak rushes. read more

Everyone there was wonderful. Great service; awesome ice cream cake. Everyone loved the cake. In more detail I got there late after they closed. They still let me in to order my ice cream cake. They also let me pick two flavors of ice cream instead of one. Then they asked me what design or color. I asked for orange and black. Right away they asked if it was a giants theme party and I said yes. They offered to sketch a design and see if that's what I wanted. I said I trusted whatever they would come up with and didn't need that. Anyway Zach the Mgr / cake maker was awesome. Couldn't be happier with the price tastiness of cake and even the design. I attached cute photo of cake. Price 35 for sheet size. (8×12inches) And nothing extra for the elaborate design. read more

Fantastic ice cream that we had as children growing up in the 70's. Love that my kids enjoying going for a treat when we're in town. Kids bought cookie dough and mocha chip. Beats all ice cream shops hands down! read more

We are so lucky to have Load's in our town. They have many many flavors and all flavors that I try taste great. My children and their friends love here. All employees who I encountered in this store are so polite and well trained. The price is reasonable. I appreciate to Load's operating their business for the decades!! read more

As an ice cream enthusiast, I must say that this establishment served ice cream of the highest degree. In all honesty, it was some of the best Ice cream that I have ever had the privilege to taste. The staff was great and very friendly! The ambience...lively! Over all, Loards Moraga is a great spot for family and ice cream enthusiasts like me. read more

Amazing service and delicious ice cream definitely the best ice cream parlor EVER! I would recommend to all folk young and old! Great place to bring the fam! read more

The ice cream is pretty good, staff is friendly. I think the manager should train their employees how to "count up" when giving change. I gave the young man a $20 for a $13.09 bill. He gave me back $6.10, so I left a $1.10 tip. He would have received a minimum of $1.91 if he had provided the correct change, and would have received s higher tip if he hadn't given me a $5 bill. Anyway, he put the extra money in the cash register instead of his own tip jar. Or he pocketed the difference. Main point, kids these days a failing when they can't provide correct change. read more

I literally walked in and asked if they accepted Apple Pay, the guy said yes. I grabbed my partner a few stores down while their shop was somewhat packed, got our ice creams and pack of gum, the guy didn't know what he was talking about or didn't know how to work the register and tried to read my iPhone so I can pay after telling him I didn't have any form of payment but Apple Pay. Long story short, he made us feel stupid for not being able to pay while there was a long line behind us. He told us he could put our ice cream already on the cones in the fridge while I went home to get money. Never coming back here again for lack of common sense, would recommend others do the same. read more

We Loved the ice cream also got my kids gumballs from the gumball machine so convinent highly recommend it.

The BEST ice cream around!!! Such a welcoming a friendly environment and I love coming here with friends. Prices are right, service is great, and the ice cream is delicious! Highly highly recommend!! read more

I scream for Ice Cream! One of Moraga's : MUST STOP, Try them out. SAVOR, AND REMINISCE your childhood bliss :) I walked in and I just wanted to INHALE ALL THE MMMM YUMMM AND AHHHH the whole atmosphere, aura, and refreshing Sweet cold creamy goodness! Loards made me feel like i was that little girl again going into the ice cream shop. They had so many flavors, shakes, floats..And old school Soda Fountain! I was surprised to see they even had UBE flavored ice cream too! I really had to contain myself.. I wanted to get one of EVERYTHING they had including the the sour slogged candy.. (whatever that was).. I had the coconut pineapple... and it was yummeeeee! It hit the spot cooled me down and gave me good Past vibes I forgot about when i was at kid , LOARDS ice cream is Most Definitely on my " FOREVER SUPER COOL" to go to spot list. Not only did it make my mouth and tummy happy, but made me happy inside also:) Nostalgic, good GOOD EATS ,SWEETS, and Chilled Treats! This place will satisfy your sweet spot and MORE! read more

Best local ice cream shop and always a good price. Thick milkshakes and every flavor is top notch! The workers always give my wife and I extra ice cream and the service is great. Once my daughter dropped her ice cream and they gave us a new one for free ! read more

Nice little ice cream shop. They had Ube ice cream, which is rare in most ice cream parlors. I had that mixed with Mango- delicious! They were so nice to my five year twins read more

So I got the double scoop with Ube & Mango and it taste just like the real thing! Not the popsicle artificial flavor type. Rich and creamy texture and stayed frozen for a good amount of time read more

Loard's Ice Cream - Ube & Mango so good 3_3 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Moraga, California

Good ice cream but definitely won't come back after seeing they allow people to eat inside with no mask on. Really not ok considering half the country hasn't even gotten one vaccine let alone both. read more

I've actually worked at Loard's and I've had the opportunity to sample pretty much everything. The selection you're gonna get is fairly large, and they'll have rarer options like Macipuno (baby cocunut) and ube (taro root). The problem is that the ice cream isn't always fresh, and you're gonna be paying a lot more than an average parlor. Bottom line, its the only place in moraga to get ice cream that's decent, but its freakin moraga and you can't get much of anything from this town anyway...Take the 10 minutes to drive down to coldstone in lafayette, which may be more expensive and have less variety in terms of flavors, but the custom and classic creations will taste much better and you know that your ice cream creation is being built by hands that really know what they're doing with some effort towards quality. read more

Loards is the only place in the area (that I know of) that makes old fashioned ice cream soda. This makes my mom very happy. They also have a great selection of sherbet and ice cream. I'm not a big ice cream person, I much prefer froyo, but if I'm going to eat ice cream it's going to be Loards. This is my first time at this location and I was really happy with the customer service. A high school girl was working the counter and she was so polite and patient with my girls who couldn't make up their minds I was surprised. I was losing patience faster than her. It's clean and tidy as well. read more

Came in after #1's soccer game in Moraga yesterday. We were hotter than Hades so we decided to get a scoop. The ice cream is pretty good, but........ it costs way more than Rite Aid!!!!! No, I do not work for Rite Aid, but, I have sense and sensibilities to know that, unless you get ice cream in El Segundo, ya really can't f-up ice cream, you can really only offer more flavors and overcharge for the privilege. Though this joynt ain't as bad as Cold Stone, they still charge like they are located in, well, Moraga. I am not down with paying premiums, so, ya lose a star homie. It got me through the hour. read more

Great ice cream. If your a fan of mocha chip ice cream you need to try their version. Excellent! Tasted a few other flavors but IMHO the mocha chip is the best. Make sure you avoid the after school soccer mom/mini van rush. It can be a nightmare in there with huge groups of families sitting for an hour or too just gossiping. Get in before 2:30pm. Staff are friendly hardworking HS/college kids so tip them well! read more

Great place to take the kids! Staff is always very friendly and welcoming. Feels like the good old days :)

The employees are always super helpful and the ice cream is delicious! They are also very diligent about sanitizing their hands which I think is super important right now. read more

Eat ice cream in the area hands down. Clean facility and nice people behind the counter. Can't go wrong with their mint chocolate chip. read more

This is an institution in the Orinda/Moraga neighborhoods. So many Moms depended on their yummy ice creams for bribing their kids over the years. I love their mocha chip flavor, and love to stroll down there in a sunny afternoon for an ice cream. I was shocked, however, by the recent prices . A single scoop for $3 !!!! I don't mind it though, with everything else more expensive, I would rather pay their price and see this business open than seeing them go out of business. read more

Tasty ice cream every time. Have a party catered by these fine folks, too! It is great fun and a good deal.
