Loard's ICE cream is back!
Co-owners husband and wife Willis Yu and Winnie Tam opened the Dimond District flagship sore dating from 1950 in early June.
The shop still carries the 40-plus flavors that've inspired sugar-based fever dreams for generations of locals like cherry vanilla, black walnut and toasted almond, whose formulation supposedly was invented in the Bay Area. It has malted milkshakes, fresh waffle cones and sprinkle-flecked Tropical Treat sundaes. But it carries new things, too, like Vietnamese coffee and sandwiches with names like The Wakobe and The Wentino.
And it's proving popular.
A deliveryman wheels a huge dolly of cardboard ice-cream boxes through the door. "This is only a third of it," said Willis Yu, who co-owns the business with his wife Winnie Tam. "We're basically ordering double of everything. It's a good problem to have."
