Excellent, high quality, unique flavors. Expensive ice cream but you get what you pay for. Flavors from around the world in unique combinations. Multiple dairy free and even vegan options which definitely compete with the usual dairy based options. They do have a rewards service if you end up coming in often, which I know I do.
I love Wanderlust. Probably one, if not my favorite ice cream places ever!
I go to this location at least once a month- but every Wanderlust location has a rotating seasonal flavor list that changes every month. The flavors are inspired by around the world and there’s always a plentiful amount of Asian-inspired flavors.
The texture of the ice cream is so. smooth. And nothing is overly sweet.
Our favorites on the non-seasonal flavor list are the Malted Ube Crunch and the Japanese Neapolitan. I’m Filipino American and can give my stamp of approval on the ube flavor! Theres not too many malt balls so it’s not overwhelming, but a perfect sweet crunch. The Japanese Neapolitan, the three flavors blend really well together.
You have to try the seasonal flavors! One of my all time favorites is the calamansi creamsicle that they had during Filipino American History month. They post their flavors on their Instagram so you can check them out ahead of time. You can also try some free samples if you can’t decide.
Also at this location specifically the employees are so kind! We always have a nice interaction with them.
Seating - outdoor seating, not a lot of seating inside
Parking- lot
I'll make this quick and simple because nobody got time for autobiographical reviews 😎🤙🏼
Carpool if possible as this plaza can get busy ✅
Love their ice cream! ✅ So creamy! 🤤
Limited indoor seating ‼️
Outdoor seating saves the day ✅
Well, you can enjoy your ice cream pretty much everywhere.
Feel free to follow! 🤙🏼 Enjoy!
It was my first time after a friend brought me and i have never found ube ice cream that was this good!! The flavors are a bit unique (not in a bad way!!) which allows a different experience and they offer samples which is super helpful! I would definitely come back!
I will endlessly dream of this mango sticky rice cream and wish I had the wherewithal to attempt to recreate it. Super cute ice cream joint with flavors inspired by famous dessert dishes around the world. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing mango sticky rice while eating Thai food you will be blown away by how spot on this flavor profile mimicked it. My only complaint would be that I wish there were more mango chunks or even some rice in the ice cream but at the same time the flavor is perfect so if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. They are in the pricier end but I appreciated that you could do half scoops in order to taste more flavors!
I've been a loyal customer since they opened back in 2015. The first summer I was probably here on a weekly basis. I love their seasonal flavors but my favorite is still I've Malted Crunch and Cacao Passion Fruit! Ask to taste all the flavors as they rotate regularly!
Oh my thank the great man or woman or alien or just wonderful being that created Wanderlust Creamery.
This place is easily my favorite ice cream
place near me and it’s hard not to get extra for the next day.
The flavors are always pretty random and weird sounding but let me tell you they all taste amazing. There hasn’t been one flavor I haven’t wanted to bring home.
The new flavors they have from the knafeh to the pandan are a must. Easily a must go place if you are nearby
10/10, the best I've cream in California (move over Salt and Straw!) Creative and globally inspired flavors and cones. Can't wait for them to expand to the bay area!
After living in the San Fernando valley for years and hearing rave reviews of this place, finally on Valentine's Day I went there with a friend and my 2 daughters. Since then, I've been back twice.
They use the freshest ingredients with their seasonal flavors as well as signature flavors which are available all year round.
They're well known for their ube malted crunch which I had to order and I would definitely order a pint of this to take home. So I give this flavor a 5/5 rating.
Other flavors I've tried and rate as follows:
Japanese Neapolitan: 5/5
Pandas tres leches: 5/5
Kinder: 4/5
Sakura crunch: 5/5
They're located in the corner of Reseda and Ventura with ample parking.
One of my favorite flavors is earl grey. This one was pretty darn up there on the delicious chart.
I tried te corn crunch which was also great.
The sticky mango rice flavor wasn't my favorite a little sweet for my tastes.
The purple cone was really good too
I would recommend this place to people that like different things and like trying new things. It's not a very chocolate and vanilla place
Also $$
I continue to visit a location of Wanderlust at least once per visit to LA :) And, I take new people with me every time. My order hasn't changed...still getting the scoop of Ube Malted Crunch (purple) + scoop Kinder Bueno (tastes like Nutella but 1000x better) in a waffle cone. Please open a location in Seattle!! LA people - count your blessings for this one!
Friendly and helpful staff, samples with no guilt, and a great selection of wonderful not-so-common flavors goes towards Wanderlust Creamery being an awesome place for ice cream. Much of the flavors are inspired from Asian tastes: Uber, Earl Grey, a lavender flavor, Vietnamese Coffee, etc. Others are unique and just different...like one based on New Zealand Hokey Pokey. The staff here are very friendly, helpful and will offer advice. Prices are moderate...but worth it.
hands down favorite ice cream shop. they have crafted really amazing flavors, and that's what makes them the best. i've been coming here since they've opened...so happy their success has allowed them to open another location ! my favorite regular flavors are the earl grey, honey lavender and the pretzel one (i can never remember how to spell the second part rrrrr something lol) oh and i think theyve added japanese neopolitan too. i always come back so i can try their seasonal flavors !
the parking here is a little tough if you come during their peak hours...which i'd say is in the evening after dinner time, esp on the weekends.
**i read through the low starred reviews: IF YOU WANT BASIC FLAVORED ICE CREAM DO NOT COME HERE. GO TO THE GROCERY STORE.
The staff was very nice and helpful with their answers. The flavors of the ice cream are spot on and very delicious - don't let the colors deter you.
I remember artisinal flavor was a relatively new term when Wanderlust opened up shop a few years back. Now any new boutique ice cream shop worth their pink Himalayan Salt would be remiss without that term. I like that Wanderlust stuck to their guns and created flavors that provoked not just the cerebral interests with thought provoking titles to flavors but remained on mission with flavors that actually bring you places through the tastebuds. Like today the Sakura crunch... highly recommended.
The flavors were great and the employees were very kind. The only reason I don't give them 5 stars is because the time I went they weren't ready and they had been open for more than an hour. Not all the flavors were available and it was a little messy inside. Other than that I enjoyed it.
This place offers ice cream from all over the world, many flavors from Asia. I had the Kinder from Germany. It was fresh and delicious. They offer samples and the service is friendly.
