Loard’s Ice Cream & Candies Orinda

Amazing ice cream when I was a kid, still amazing today.

Loard’s Ice Cream is pretty great and I love the overall vibe of the shop as-well. They have a lot of great flavors and toppings. Also good milkshakes!

We love this place. Fabulous local ice cream place. We go at least once a week and we take friends & family from out of town. We also ordered and ice cream cake for our daughters birthday and it was the best. Favorite flavors include rainbow sherbet and peppermint

Such a cute place. We went with the family and the ice cream was great! We also ran into the owners and they seemed like very lovely people. Will be coming back when I’m in town!

We live close by, and this is our go-to spot whenever we don’t feel like traveling far. I do wish they stayed open a little later, but it makes sense since most places around here close early too, so whatever 🙃.

Flavors are pretty standard. I just wish there were more milk-sub options besides Mr. Dewie’s — they’re aight… but like… where are the rest of the milk-sub options?! FYI- this place gets packed around 2–3 PM when all the kids flood in after school.

One thing I genuinely love is that they still sell Razzles — barely any places carry those anymore. Instant nostalgia. And it would be amazing if they added Mitchell’s Ice Cream someday for more cultural flavor options.

Overall, solid spot. Thanks!

I treated myself to something cold and delicious. I hadn't been to Loard's Orinda and I was definitely pleasantly surprised. There were so many combinations, varieties and specialty treats there. I was ALMOST overwhelmed. I got some tropical flavors. Banana and Mango and I believe a gallon of Pink Champagne. I can't wait to come back with my GK's to try some more flavors and get some chocolates.

Our favorite ice cream shop! Loard’s is a Bay Area treasure with very high quality products - we especially like Chocolate Showers and Peppermint. Have purchased several ice cream cakes for all kinds of occasions and they were so nicely crafted and decorated (thank you, Tyler!). Store gets very busy early afternoon weekdays when school lets out. Greatest place to get awesome ice cream, locally made in East Bay.

So cute . Friendly staff and great selection of flavors

Really great ice cream, some of the best you'll have. I wish they still served sundaes and milkshakes in the glass dishes and cups if you are eating in the restaurant, instead of paper to-go cups. We can see you still have them right there behind the counter!

Loard’s is one of the highest quality ice creams in the country! I’m not exaggerating. I’ve been traveling and taste testing for decades. Yay Loard’s!! 🍦🍨

Great ice cream, customer service was ok, loved taking a picture with my family

Love everything about it!
