Loard’s Ice Cream

Love Loard’s. This is one of the older ones. Ice cream is always yummy. Credit carrd machine didn’t work, thank goodness we had cash. Kind of dreary in here, but it’s ice cream so I can’t complain!

bought a chocolate milk shake for $ 5 and the ice cream tasted old.

This place scares me. When you think of an ice cream shop, you think bright and happy colors with sunshine smile employees; this place is anything but.
No décor, no color, always very messy, just one man who always seems angry, and not the best ice cream.
I’ll stick to Clancy’s or buying from Lucky.

This location is a bit on the dirty side, the windows look dirty and floor. I usually just get the to go frozen pre packed ice cream.
The owner is nice and so is his son, just wish they’d take care of the place more.

My favorite ice cream place! green tea, ube and mango is the best! the guy who’s accommodating us is really nice :) even got a free ice cream. 2 thumbs up!

I honestly could not believe the quality at this location. In my experience, Loard’s ice cream is generally amazing, but I’ve learned that they are NOT all created equally. The ice cream had ice chunks in it. It was barely frozen, liquidy actually, right on the cone. The flavor (cookies n’ cream) was not at all delicious. Furthermore, there were sanitation concerns. I went to throw away a tissue, and as soon as I lifted the lid, about 30 knats came flying out. Incredibly disgusting. I will not be visiting this location ever again.

EDIT: minus one star because there were two hairs in my ice cream!!!
Solid ice cream. Better than BR 31 flavors. Not as good as clancey’s on manor blvd. that’s it. Very straight forward regular yummy ice cream.

Best ice cream ever
i had green tea and my mom had a mango ice cream
old man i thought he was owner, he was so nice and gave me extra scoop of ice cream. Service was good and he had a limited English but no problem to take an order and gave us an ice cream
will go back when I am around that area

The place looks like it got renovated. It looks clean and tidy. Super Ube ice cream is awesome got an extra scoop for Mother’s Day. The guy was accommodating since I’m on crutches and have a special need person with me. Definitely going back on a hot summer day

I took my kids here and should have trusted my first impression when I walked in. It was not very clean and there was an older man behind the counter who didn’t seem interested in helping me. Long story short the ice cream tasted old the service was bad. No napkins anywhere. Tables dirty so we left. Won’t ever go back again. You want ice cream go to Maggie Moos down the street or to the Loards in San Leandro or Castro Valley.

This is some good old school ice cream shop. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from. During my first time of going here, I had a hard time finding it because it’s pretty small and it was at night, so that was definitely a bad combination. Buuuuuuut, their ice cream totally made up for it. It tasted delish! My family is now a fan of loard’s ice cream too.

Good ice cream, bad service. My first time here, I had the Brownie Nut Fudge. Let me tell you, I thought it was delicious, until I bit into something hard. I spit it into a napkin and wiped it off. Guess what it was? A rock. The old Chinese man kept going into the back for long periods of time, so we had to wait for him to come back out so that we could tell him about the rock. He didn’t say sorry, or offer me another scoop of ice cream. All he did was take it and study it a little.

This location is so gross. It’s dirty & so beat. I ordered a fudge-​ana which has pieces of banana in it. When the man was going to cut the banana up he brought a knife from the back which had some stuff on it & didn’t even bother to rinse it! When I got the fudge-​Ana the ice cream tasted & had a really weird texture to it. ICE CREAM IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE A TEXTURE. I will not be coming back to this place. If I could I’d give it zero stars.

I’ve always went to Loard’s for an ice cream fix, and although this location isn’t the prettiest the ice cream is great. I bought a pint for home and it tasted so much better than what you would buy in the supermarket (obviously) and was worth every penny. Cookies and cream is my favorite for here, and it tastes like sweet cream and yummy oreo cookies. The consistency of their cookies and cream is so smooth.

4.50 for a quart of ice cream. Not bad. The avocado isn’t very flavorful; it’s definitely blander than I was expecting. The green tea, though, was pretty good. The ice cream is definitely the creamiest I’ve had. If you like cream, get a ton of ice cream.

Disappointed
Yesterday my wife and I went here for the first time in 1.5 years.
Despite what you may have heard (no, I haven’t tortured any animals or tripped any children), I’m nice, and so I’m going to keep the rating the same.
About 6:30 p.m.:
It was dead inside, and the man was slow to greet us, but fast to serve us (it will be more clear what I mean in a moment).
The man didn’t say anything when we came in (he also didn’t thank us for coming in before we left). He was studying at the table in the back, and only got off his ass when I approached him (I felt like I had to make it clear that we weren’t just browsing).
I thought that he was studying Chinese, but he was studying math. At one point, I stared at the stuff on the table (I didn’t care if he noticed). An old looking book was lying open, and a math formula was written on a piece of paper (the table was cluttered, and these were the main items).
Like last time, we asked for our ice cream in cups (I was out of it at first, and so I used words like «box» and «holder” — I don’t blame the man for briefly looking puzzled, and for holding up two cups to me like I was a retard).
1 scoop: $ 2.35 (it was $ 2.25 last year).
2 scoops: $ 3.85.
Of course, you’re charged more if you want a waffle cone.
As I mentioned last time, the scoops are medium-​sized.
The man was too quick to serve me. I didn’t know that I had to be so specific right away (I only partially knew what I wanted when I came in).
Anyway, I received 2 scoops of Ube, but I only wanted 1 (as my wife said, the Ube is «like Barney purple»).
The man seemed surprised that my wife wanted 2 different flavors (she’s crazy like that). I muttered to him that I did too, but I don’t think he heard me.
The man almost gave me something else.
I don’t know if he didn’t initially hear me right, or if there’s another Ube flavor (I doubt it).
I had Black Raspberry last time (in other words, I’ve at least had it before). Still, I was miffed about what happened.
All the flavors seemed to be available.
I was tempted to get Bubble Gum or Burgundy Cherry too.
There were no napkins in either dispenser.
If we ate inside, I probably would have wiped my hands on my jeans or the man’s math paper.
It was hot inside (I was surprised).
There’s a big fan in the back, but it wasn’t on.
There’s also a huge gumball machine.
I also like the small Raiders clock inside.
There’s a Disney poster near the entrance (I was reminded of Classic Burger, another establishment in the immediate area).
I believe it features Daisy and Donald Duck.
Ube: ⁷⁄₁₀.
Sorry. It’s just not my thing.
I gave it an honest try, though (I mentioned last time that I wanted to try Ube, and some of my Unilocal friends also encouraged me to).
I rarely eat yams, but my ice cream tasted familiar (like something else, but I can’t put my finger on it). I basically liked the texture of my ice cream, but not the overall taste.
I couldn’t finish my ice cream, and my wife didn’t want any.
Chocolate Showers; Rocky Road: ⁷⁄₁₀.
My wife liked her Rocky Road ice cream «a little bit better,» but prefers Dreyer’s Rocky Road more.
«It’s okay, but the Oreo cookie one is better» (my wife had Cookies N’ Cream last time). «The Chocolate Showers was basically Chocolate Chip» (my wife ordered it because it seemed fresher– the «Oreo one was half gone»).
My wife finished her ice cream in the car and was pleased overall. She just wasn’t blown away.
My ice cream kind of sucked.
So did the service.
I’m mainly giving 3 stars because of my previous experience.
This place also has some ghetto charm.

I grew up on Loard’s ice cream. I don’t know if there are enough words in the world to describe how much I love Loard’s!
I came in to Loard’s after not having been here, or having had it, in years. I brought my baby cousin (who’s almost 17…) in with me, and we decided to grab some ice cream for us and for her little brother, whom we were getting ready to pick up from school.
The service was super quick and courteous, as well as friendly. The quality of the ice cream hasn’t changed. I feel like I’m reliving my childhood whenever I have Loard’s. It’s just a bunch of creamy, cold goodness that you just can’t have enough of.

I so love ice cream and so do my divas along with my accountant. But I think that we can drive a few more miles and buy ice cream from a more presentable store. No I am not saying that Super Serg needs a red carpet to shop but honestly this place needs some love!!! This location seriously needs an overhaul. The service really isn’t that great but the flavors they have are ok but not that great.
I really wouldn’t put this on my Yummy list but I would in case of an emergency. I have come to this small strip mall many many times and have instead went to lucky’s next door to buy ice cream instead.
If you do come then you know !!

Don’t understand what the hoopla is about. Run down store with not too many options and average ice cream. I tried a few flavors and I am sorry but even Baskin Robbins is better. I was hoping to discover a local store that I was going to love but no such luck.
I highly encourage everyone to head to Clancy’s in San Leandro to know what ice cream could be. You will never look at ice cream the same again.

Cheap ice cream! Got the banana split and it was cheap like less than $ 5 I think.
Good ice cream! Not the best, but good enough
Lotsa variety— I couldn’t decide what to yum it was good
Cool staff— friendly
Location is kinda ehh.
