I grew up going to Loards Ice Cream in the East Bay. Great to see in SF and tasty nostalgia . Ice cream is still great and premium ingredients and owner of this shop was very nice and I will be back and telling others

Ube Ice Cream in Waffle Cone

Standard old fashion ice Cream shop. Large variety of flavors. I like the Ube Flavor. Service is fast and friendly. They also make sandwiches, ice cream sundaes, and milk shakes.

Coffee ice cream

Came here on a Friday night after dinner craving something sweet. It was empty inside, and the walls were decorated with fun murals, giving the store a very neighborhood-friendly atmosphere. We sampled a couple of flavors, and the samples were really tiny. I got the coffee ice cream, and quite honestly this ice cream was not amazing, especially for the price. It felt very artificial and texturally was pretty icy. If I were to get ice cream for that price, I'd maybe look for another spot. Works in a pinch though if you're craving it, as it seems to be open later than some other establishments for dessert in the area.

Such a cute place next to where I live! Stopped here while on a walk with my partner and we decided to share 2 scoops of ice cream. Super large scoops and we even got to try some of them before committing. The staff was really nice and let us take our time with the order and weren't pushy. The ice cream itself wasn't too expensive, but came out immediately and we got large portion sizes for each scoop. I liked the strawberry flavor the most! The inside also looks cute, lots of color and a nice find for a spontaneous date!

Great location, clean and spacious. The ice cream was delicious. Perfect for a hot day in the city!

Mocha Almond Fudge and Mint Chip!

A very nice addition to the Potrero Hill neighborhood! The staff is friendly (and fast!) Loards has always delivered high quality ice cream for decades. A few tables for inside seating, but it's more of a grab-and-go type of place. Street parking nearby. Be careful. You'll get hooked!

Loard's potrero hill location is finally open! This retro style ice cream parlor has a ton of different flavors as well as shakes, floats, sundaes, and even sandwiches! We stopped by on their opening day and they were super efficient with their process even though there were a bunch of people coming through. The sundae we got had a bunch of toppings, and the toffee bits were so tasty! The ice cream is really creamy (I think their website says 15% butter fat). There are some seats inside and outside, and street parking is super easy. Love that their Potrero hill location is finally open just in time for the warm weather!!

Love the paintings they have   This place has a great vibe.

I'm so glad they open! Many of us were waiting for their delicious ice cream, they also have sandwiches so don't forget to try them out. Customer service was great! Definitely will be going back a few times a week.

Loard's in P Hill is finally open! I love it! The staff is friendly, the ice cream is awesome and of course the location is great! The SF library is across the street, Good Life, Thinker's Cafe and the corner store are all within arm's reach. Expect to run into your favorite locals and neighbors since Loard's is situated near to St. Teresa of Avila, the preschool, Daniel Webster Elementary school and Potrero Rec Park. The brothers Jesse and Mike are real nice guys, too!

Fresh Sandwiches

Wonderful service. Everything is made fresh to order. Amazing Root Beer Floats made with the ice cream of your choice.

Ok this is the 2nd time I've been here. I've only gotten ice cream. The place is clean and quiet. The ice cream tastes great and there are many flavors to choose from. The guy behind the counter seemed a bit " off " and was not as friendly as last time. Last time I got two scoops and it cost 9.99 - and there was a fair amount of ice cream - you can go to the store and easily get a half gallon of good ice cream for that price - but it is a business so since there was easily three big scoops of ice cream the price was reasonable. Today I decided to just get one scoop that cost me $5.99 - and the portion was so small - I guess he doesn't want me back as a customer. I finnished the " scoop " in three bites and they were not big bites. The ice cream taste was just great - the quantity was ridiculously small. It was about the amount of ice cream I'd hive to a child five and under. Way, way, way too small of a serving - didn't know all of a sudden ice cream was as expensive as gold!! Will not return.

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

Portion size was perfect as well. The best sandwich I had in SF and one of the best sandwiches I've had anywhere. Service- I got here early as I knew the line would get long. Took about 30-40 min from start to eating my sandwich so not bad. Grab and go spot so there's no bathroom or really any seating. I found a bench down the block to eat. 10/10 experience- wish I grabbed a sticker or other merch!

I ordered the 49er and it just seemed like a greasy goopy mess. It felt like the bread congealed into a mushy paste due to all the dressing and wetness? Also my sandwich was 1000* even after walking back to my car and letting it cool with the wrapper off it was still way to hot to eat for a long while and burnt my mouth. Maybe they intentionally make them super hot to withstand long distance takeout deliveries... I dunno. Plus standing in a long line with a velvet rope baking in the sun, long wait, lack of parking, navigating skuzzy neighborhood to go there (literally saw a guy going #2 on the corner on my way out)... overall I wasn't that impressed with Deli Board compared to all the rave reviews I have heard over the years. SF lacks truly awesome sandwich places so I will give give this another shot and report back with updates, perhaps I hit it on an off day.

They're showing off their wares, flashing pristine teeth, and parading around in an endless convoy of BMWs, Mercedes, and Bentleys. It's a neighborhood where absolutely everything--from the cold-pressed juice to the real estate--has a heavy, unapologetic price tag associated with it. But we didn't come for the gloss. We came for soul. We came to find refuge in our ultimate comfort food at Lucca's Delicatessen. Walking through that door isn't just stepping into a shop; it's stepping into a Time Machine. My order never changes -- it's the Liverwurst on marble rye, dressed simply with a little tomato, mayo, and crisp lettuce. Yesterday, you might have been chasing whatever trendy sandwich they're slinging down at Lettuce, but today is about tradition. My wife goes for the Caprese sandwich with prosciutto--a beautiful, classic combination. For me, though, the magic happens on the very first bite. As soon as I crunch into that rye, the Marina melts away. I am a five-year-old boy again, sitting down with my mother at a long-lost lunch counter, just purely enjoying life. My wife knows this ritual; she sees the look on my face and she approves. That right there is the exact reason we come here. It's why we are willing to stand crammed together in that inhospitable, notoriously narrow line that hungry San Franciscans have been enduring since 1929. Dear God, think about that: it has been almost a century in existence. If you haven't tried it, maybe you should. Take a break from the shiny facade outside, step into the narrow line, and order something real. It will become a part of your DNA, just like it has permanently become a part of mine.
