Loard's Ice Cream and Candy

We randomly came across this amazing ice cream shop while strolling in Livermore Downtown and decided to get a classic mint chocolate icecream in cone.

I later discovered its a 75-year-old brand, originally started in the Bay Area. The variety of flavors they offer is so vast and interesting. I will have to come multiple times to taste other unique ones.

Note: They charge $0.50 extra if your bill is less than $10 and you are paying via debit/credit card.

Delicious! We tried the Choclate and Butterscotch scoop and absolutely loved it. The new sevice person is really friendly and would happily suggest you the flavors.

If you’re like me and go back and forth through the windmill mountain often, taking a pit stop in Livermore before hitting the mountains is a good idea. After you get the ice cream you can enjoy it slowly as you navigate the windy backroads of Tesla rd aka corral hollow. Ice cream is quite good, it’s not the smoothest it’s got this sandy texture to it. The maltballs were okay and yes I got the ones with sugar

Unfortunately the shop was closed that day for renovations. I have been there previously and it was very good.

Seems weird when you can’t taste or see the ice cream but ok I guess every place is different, whts surprised me the most was the tupe of costumer service haha the lady was soo unwelcoming, so rude, she gave us an attitude just because ee were deciding on the flavor and apparently we were taking too long 🤷🏻‍♀️. We are not coming back obviously.

No samples, no public restroom when we had a 3 year old baby! Good ice cream. Not worth the lack of service. Avoid this business!

I was in the area, so stopped by this place. Great ice cream shop. Kids loved it. They also have a candies there, I bought a box of chocolates, but TBH they were ok. Kids had vanilla and strawberry, i had toasted almond and butter pecan. Ice cream was the winner. If you are in the area, definitely recommend this place.

Not the same as I remembered it. Glad I had a chance to try it again.
