Been coming here over 40 years. Delicious ice cream with traditional and unique flavors!…read more Best flavors I've ever had anywhere include: egg nog, Oreo cookie, and gumball. Best unique flavors include: Kahlua crunch and peppermint fudge. Mint Oreo krunch is good, very minty and you don't get too much Oreo flavor unless you actually get an Oreo chunk. Mint chocolate chip is delicious, has that good 'Andes' mint flavor and plenty of chocolate chips. Very high quality ingredients. Not water sprayed. Great value for your money. Get the 1.75 quarts!! Thank you and C u tomorrow!

I've been coming here since my youth. I was glad to bring my gf here to try it for the first time…read more There was a line even before the store opened. It was good to see the place had some updates. They really showcase their Transformers and action figures now, plus have an easier menu to read. Plus some music playing made for some real good energy in the store. The customer service was great and everything was priced for a great value. I got a cone with two scoops of banana nut. It was Amazing as always. Each bite took me back to my high school years. I highly recommend this spot.

It was hard picking…read morefrom their variety of flavors, but eventually I decided on the vegan dark chocolate and date & walnut. I've never seen a dosa cone, so made sure to have my scoops served in that and it was such a unique and flavorful combo. I love that they have ample seating indoors and outdoors. Their patio makes for the perfect warm summer hangout spot. Definitely looking forward to coming here more when it starts warming up!

I would say this store has potential…read more From their sample flight, I've tried malted chocolate, Kapi, Malai, Banana Gulab and Lotis and Rose. I wanted to give them 5 stars for the flavors - Kapi was definitely a strong coffee, Malai has the classic Indian flavots of cardamom and saffron and the pistacchio flavor was abundant. Banana gulab tasted like eating fresh bananas. Lotis and Rose was also flavorful. The space could use some TLC. There were 2 customers taking some thing to go during my visit, but even if the store was not busy, I needed to clean the table I was using. There were only 2 tables inaide, one that coupd seat 6-8 people, and a small round table that we used. Will I come back? I would not, hence the 3 stars, not because I needed to clean the table, but because the ice cream themselves were too sweet for me. I hope they can nudge down on the sugar.

You'll be greatly missed. Bye forever. You hold a special place in my life. I can't believe I'll…read morenever consume coffee cookie dream again.

It's rich, savory, crispy, gooey, and they balance a not too sweet ice cream, along with good caramel and the pistachio is so full bodied It's a repeat winner for sure

Such a cool little place in San Leandro! I always bring people here for dessert whenever they're in…read morethe area. They have everything from Banana Splits to sundaes to a full chocolate shop. Major bummer they don't do the factory tours anymore, though--that would be so cool to see. Please bring those back! Aside from that, the desserts are huge and can easily be shared by two adults, or even two adults and a small child. Whenever anyone wants dessert around here, I always say, "Let's go to the Ghirardelli factory!" YUM!

I hadn't been here until they partnered with the San Leandro Library for a winter reading…read morepromotion, and I'm glad we discovered it. There are lots of flavors to choose from, including seasonal options. We especially enjoyed the horchata and mango flavors. The scoops were generous. There's a large parking lot with additional street parking nearby. The inside of the shop looked clean, and there's both indoor and outdoor seating available. The only downside is that there isn't a public bathroom.

Tucked away in a small corner of San Leandro is Loard's Ice Cream!!…read more When you walk in, you can instantly tell it's a family-opened business and that their passion is ice cream. Not a lot of parking outside, or decor inside, but holy heck the ice cream is good! Will definitely be returning.

Stopped by for ice cream with my family this evening and was glad I did…read more Loard's has plenty of parking in the surrounding area, and the shop has a ton of indoor and outdoor seating. The interior has that old-school ice cream parlor vibe. Our server was super friendly, offering us plenty of samples. She was patient and didn't rush us either, which was greatly appreciated. I ended up getting the Maple Walnut in a sugar cone and that was delicious, it reminded me of a maple donut in the best way possible. Their Toasted Almond flavor was also really good, and would be something I'd get in the future. Overall, this is a solid ice cream shop that is worth a try if you're in the area!

Now I am living here as a full grown adult and still love the delicious ice cream! Mint Chocolate Chip is my fav, especially on a waffle cone. Scoops are generous and service is friendly.

What a fun spot! Conveniently located in downtown Castro Valley, Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen…read moreCustard is such a cooool concept :) They have fun flavored Italian ice (with cream ice and sugar-free options also), frozen custard (hand scooped custard options too), and what's called a 'Gelati' - layers of Italian ice and custard. Looks like they also offer bulk catering and take home treats like pints & custard cookie sandwiches, as well as other offerings like milkshakes, Gelati Blenders (Italian ice/custard blended), and Blendinis (Italian Ice/custard blended with choice of toppings). Lotsa options! We went with a Gelati Blender- cherry flavor Italian ice and added vanilla as the custard. It was so yummy and very much kiddo approved! We wanted something with a straw for an easier lift. Service was fast and efficient, and we were able to try a few of the Italian Ice flavors. Street parking is accessible. Fair pricing for a fun, special treat experience.

The paletas were very light and fresh tasting, not heavy at all. I ended up getting the strawberry, and WOW--it was like eating a frozen strawberry sorbet in ice cream form. So refreshing and bomb Definitely adding this spot to my go-to list for ice cream. They also had tortas and those fresh fruit drinks with tajín and chamoy, which looked amazing. I'm 100% trying those next time. Highly recommend!
