There is a specific cadence to a Saturday afternoon that calls for a slower pace. In San Leandro, Loard’s Ice Cream operates on a frequency that feels distinctly nostalgic—a place where the air is filled with the smooth, melodic strains of lounge-style jazz piano rather than the frantic energy of a modern dessert shop.
The experience is not one of modern efficiency, but rather a deliberate throwback to a time when a visit for a scoop was a pause in the day. It is a space that invites you to settle in, even if the logistics of the physical layout eventually dictate a move to the sidewalk.
