    Vanilla and vanilla pineapple swirl small cake cone
    Andrea Z.

    Visited on a Friday around 6pm on a holiday weekend. Creamy was pretty busy with a line of about 10 other guest ahead of us. Line moved fairly quickly took 5-10min wait to order. Food: Vanilla soft serve cone - excellent, creamy, milky, sweet with a nice subtle vanilla flavor, got this in a cake cone for some added texture, the small size was about 3.5" swirl on top of the cone so a generous portion Pineapple soft serve - excellent as well, nice balance of sweet and tart taste, smooth creamy texture, good pineapple flavor not artificial tasting, got this swirled with vanilla which made for a great combo Service was good quick order at the register, they then have you walk around to pick up your cone on the way to the exit. Team just calls out your order for pickup. Overall a fun visit to Meadowlark Dairy, super affordable soft serve spot with a solid variety of flavors to choose from. Store front also had some shelf stable pantry items as well as some frozen ice cream, milk and some other perishable that you can pick up while in line before getting to the register. A large outdoor patio was available for seating which was a nice option no indoor seating that we observed.

    Review #1,080 Posted on 7.6.26 We stopped into Meadowlark Dairy Livermore on Father's Day, Sunday the 21st after a nice family lunch. As expected long line on Father's Day. My nephew used to work at the Pleasanton one so we were familiar with the setup. There's a pretty well setup line inside that zig zags so you can stay out of the heat or cold for the most part. You can get a fruit basically sorbet type, or chocolate and or vanilla, simply menu. The Ice cream is good. On this day our order got forgotten so they had to make after 15 minutes or so. All good. Still plan on coming back. Staff is hard working & friendly.

    This location is awesome! Lots of outside seating and tables. They sell lot of basics and nice goodies. Nice service and the soft serve is amazing.

    This place needs no introduction. I've been coming here since they opened. Before that, I was going to their Pleasanton location. Special flavors change all the time so follow their Instagram and/or FB to keep up. Everything's good, staff is friendly, plenty of parking, plenty of outdoor seating. A very nice fun family oriented place to visit. This is my first review but probably my 100th visit.

    June 2026 I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of their flavors because they tasted very syrup artificial instead of using real fruit puree. The chocolate and vanilla are okay, but if there's a wait, I would skip it. We went on an off day, so there was no line. If I and to wait half an hour, I'd be dissapointed. My friend got their flavored soft seve which I had a sample of and it was way too sugary for me.

    New hot spot alert! This wasn't here during my last visit to Livermore and my friend who still lives there told me about it. We met there for a double date and I was IMPRESSED! They rotate their flavors weekly, they're quick and efficient AND the prices are so reasonable! I spent like 7 dollars on a slushy and medium soft serve. Apparently you can swirl or stack any flavors! I went with strawberry and pineapple and I was in heaven! There is no indoor searing but an okay amount outside. Everyone has to try this wonderful establishment

    I am so happy that Meadowlark is now in Livermore! I frequent the location in Pleasanton since I heard about it and the Livermore location is even more convenient! The building looks like it used to be a bank, with some street parking a and a small parking lot in the back, located in downtown Livermore. The inside still looks sorta empty and unfinished. They are slowly adding some grocery items and merch you can purchase along with your ice cream. My favorite so far has been the orange and vanilla swirl, pretty much taste like an orange creamsicle! They have some seasonal flavors that pop up from time to time. I have tried the eggnog during the holiday season and most recently the white chocolate and coconut and I love the coconut! I wish they would bring that back. Service is always so quick, they hand you your ice creams when when you walk to the back. People here have also been very lovely.

    Seating where drive thru once was.

    Meadowlark Dairy opened in Bank of the West's location nearly a year ago. The entire building and parking has been repurposed without much changes. Difficult to notice signage on drive by. Saw MILK sign initially but it didn't register. The full name is displayed above the main entrance. Some pics posted on inside brick walls. Shelves of merch in the middle of the main room. Dairy products in refrigerators on left side as one enters. No drive thru. No inside dining. Lots of parking in lot. Ample seating at tables in front and at the side where the drive thru at bank once was. Service was fast, quick & courteous by single male associate present. No lines when I entered. Business slow on a semi-hot day. Got a large chocolate & vanilla combo in a cup (4) per his suggestion as it's the best seller. It was ready in minutes at a stand near the front door. Slushies, milkshakes, sodas also available. Vegan pineapple, orange & strawberry other options. Mint, coconut. Cotton candy, raspberry, & peaches & cream pops up sometimes. Meadowlark no longer has their own farms. Contracts milk from local farmers. Licks : ice cream smooth, melts easily. Had no aftertaste. Tastes natural. Not sugary. Great value. 5 stars all around. Definitely repeatable.

    4th of July special: Red, white & blue
    Krystal G.

    We came here July 4th weekend, so of course I chose their red (cherry), white (vanilla) and blue (blueberry) special. I excitedly waited at the pick-up counter, but then when I was handed my ice cream order.. it wasn't what I had in mind. Haha. You'll just have to look at the picture I took. I was expecting the usual flawless perfect tall swirl. Nope, not it. But the flavors were still as expected and made up for it. This new Livermore location is very spacious with plenty of seating and parking outside.

    The best value for the price out of any soft serve ice cream spot! Truly it's so simple and delicious, this is a must try if you're in the area or even driving by, the service is always fast, friendly, and the ambiance is very cute and chill (no pin intended).

    FINALLY!!! ive been meaning to go here for 15+ years and I can say it surpassed my HIGH expectations!! the storefront is super cute and made the ordering easy. the inside is spacious but not seating. there's only limited outside seating and limited parking so be prepared. all their flavors are amazing and the amount you get for the price is unbeatable!

    Pineapple & Vanilla Swirl (medium)
    Ethan C.

    We love stopping by Meadowlark whenever we're in the area! Usually we go to the Pleasanton location, but when we found out they had a new location in Livermore we couldn't resist the allure for soft serve! This location in downtown Livermore looks like it used to be an old bank. The inside is clean and inviting though, with a mini market for snacks and frozens. We got a medium Pineapple + Vanilla swirl for that tart creamy combo! The soft serve is the perfect creamy, silky frozen milk texture, and is so addictive! A medium cone for 4$ gets you a swirly pile of soft serve almost half a foot tall, such amazing value that you really can't find anywhere else these days! All the workers are always very nice and cheerful just like at the Pleasanton location. And inside there is a wall mural of playful Meadowlark Dairy marketing and cows to take a pic of your soft serve with! There's also plentiful tables and seating outside, as well as its own parking lot with ample spaces. Overall, an enjoyable experience and we'll definitely be back!

I'm gonna be honest, I had their matcha from their OG store in Westwood when they were called Sip! I always thought their matcha was good, but I only got to enjoy it when I was going to school around there which was brief! Aside from now aging myself, I got the Guava Matcha from them and the employee recommended getting less sweet if I don't like overly sweet drinks. I have to say, it was perfect sweetness for me! The balance of matcha flavor and guava was 5/5. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm shopping in the area. It was satisfying and makes me crave their matcha!

    This is the only Junbi location I've visited twice for their limited-edition BT21 and Snoopy…read moremerchandise. I just like how easy the parking is compared to other locations in the Bay Area. The staff was welcoming every time I opened the door. They were kind enough to tell me which seasonal drinks I could adjust to oat milk, and the rest you can adjust the sweetness and add toppings for an extra charge. I tried their Snoopy Chocolate Hazelnut Matcha Latte with oat milk, less sweetness, and less ice. There was a strong Nutella flavor with good consistency, but the matcha wasn't strong enough for me when I didn't mix it. I even got myself a Snoopy matcha plush keychain as my birthday gift for $18, which is pricey but durable enough to hang on your bag. It's a pretty small shop, yet it's covered in cute and colorful decor. Plus, the tables are clean since most customers usually wait for their drinks and leave rather than sit down.

It was a very hot Saturday and we decided to cool off with some ice cream from Loard's. I have always been a fan since my childhood, butter brickle and peppermint ice cream are my go-to. I had never visited this location before. Walking in, the ambiance wasn't giving me the warm fuzzies like the other well-lit Loard's locations did. It's pretty dim with only one window emitting any light from outside. It still has it's pink and white interior, but it doesn't scream "ice cream shop." One thing that stood out to me was the menu. It appeared they might've updated several of their prices with the edits marked all over it. It just looks tacky, but I understand that making a new sign can be costly. Hopefully in the near future this could be given a nice facelift. We ordered a scoop of ube, a scoop of toasted almond, and a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Unfortunately you couldn't eat indoors so we stood outside the shop and hurried to eat the ice cream before it melted. Would I come back here again? Maybe, but I prefer the Castro Valley location more as it just gives more of the feels of an actual ice cream shop and it's got a pleasant vibe to it.
