Loard's Ice Cream, Orinda

Welcome to the twilight zone. From the old-school decor to the super sweet air-conditioned aroma as you push through the door, Loard's Ice Cream in Orinda takes you back, way back in time.

Loard’s ice cream recipes have not changed since 1950, when founder Russ Salyards opened the first of nearly a dozen of his East Bay ice cream shops. He won the Gold Medal in the Ice Cream and Dairy Products category at the 1952 California State Fair.

You can also still enjoy Loard's ice cream in Oakland, Alameda, Castro Valley and Livermore. Keeping the sweet dream alive.
