One thing I love about this place is they always have fun themed flavors and creative ideas every time we go in. If you're craving gelato, you seriously need to check out Dolce Gelato.

i have been a long time fan of dolce so it saddens me to write a critical review…read more the gelato is still good but they changed the sample limit from 3 flavors to 2. That really limits the customer in finding a flavor they would want to order in my opinion. I wish they would get rid of this sample limit. Its hard for people to decide what flavor they want based on only two choices. What happens if they don't like either flavor? I think if i walked in, tried 2 samples and didnt like any, i would just have to walk away from the store. Which i would hate for a small/local business! anyways, i would just like to say that i hope they reconsider this sample limit. i know that some people take advantage of it but most people truly want to taste test and see which one they enjoyed the most!

I've been hearing so much about this place from friends who swear by it. This particular location…read morein Laguna Beach can be tricky to find if you're not familiar, but there are signs outside that can point you in the right direction. Lines can be very long during weekends and peak times, but if you go down time, which I did, there's little wait. There's plenty of flavors to choose from as you can see from the picture, and apparently they let you sample some if you ask. I went with their regular cone size which costs about $6-7, and you can select up to three flavors. I chose the Pistachio, Chocolate chip (stracciatella), and Milk Chocolate Hazelnut. Overall, all three flavors were very delicious, with the stracciatella being my favorite. The regular cone and the 3 scoop portions are very generous and could probably be shared amongst 2 people. Afterwards, you may feel heavy from all the gelato, but its worth it. I can see why this place is very popular!

We didn't have to wait in a long line, however, I can see there being a wait from time to time. But, the line moved pretty quickly, so if there is a wait, i wouldn't believe it would be for very long. We tried the Pistachio, Salted Caramel and Chocolate and had no regrets! We're for sure making this a must stop at place anytime we're in the area!

The line can almost always get long , but that's just the nature too also that the store is quite small. There is seating outside and they also allowed me to bring my doggo in which is always a plus!

I am not a fan of asian flavors but I have tried almost all their basic (non rotating) flavors and they are good for someone who prefers that flavor profile :')

Wanderlust Creamery is an ice cream shop that stands out by taking inspiration from flavors around…read morethe world instead of sticking to the usual lineup of vanilla, chocolate, and cookie based options. We walked into a small but welcoming space with a clean interior and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to stop by for a quick dessert. The setup is straightforward, with a display case full of colors and textures that immediately signal this is not your average scoop shop. The ice cream flavors are where Wanderlust really shines. Many of the options are inspired by Asian and global desserts, bringing in ingredients and combinations that are not commonly found at traditional ice cream shops. The ube flavors are a highlight, with the ube malted crunch balancing sweetness and texture in a way that keeps each bite interesting. Other standout flavors include mango sticky rice and pandan tres leches, both of which capture the original dessert inspirations while still working well as ice cream. The mango sticky rice version has a subtle coconut note and actual sticky rice pieces, giving it a chewy contrast that feels true to the dish it is based on. The pandan tres leches is creamy and fragrant without being overly sweet, and the pandan flavor comes through clearly. One of the best parts of visiting is being able to sample different flavors before deciding. Since the menu changes and rotates with new creations, there is always something new to try. We found that getting multiple smaller scoops was a good way to experience more of the menu without committing to just one flavor, especially when the options are this unique. The staff were friendly and helpful when explaining flavors, which made trying the more unusual combinations less intimidating. They knew the ingredients and inspirations behind each flavor and were happy to walk us through the lineup. The shop is smaller, so seating can be limited during busy times, but it works well as a dessert stop rather than a place to spend a long afternoon. The focus stays on the ice cream itself, and the quick turnover keeps the experience moving. The quality of the ingredients is noticeable across the board, with each flavor having a clean, distinct taste that does not rely on excessive sweetness to carry it. Wanderlust Creamery is a great choice if you want ice cream that feels creative and different from the standard options. The unique flavors, quality ingredients, and rotating menu make it the kind of place that rewards repeat visits, especially if you enjoy desserts inspired by different cultures. It delivers on the promise of a thoughtful, well executed scoop that feels both familiar and adventurous at the same time.

This. Place. Is. Adorable!…read more We specifically drove here after a staycation in Newport Beach and we so were glad we did! Upon entering, we were greeted right away and were asked if we had any questions. My daughter immediately saw the cat and said she wanted that one. She chose the Milk & Oreo gelato as the base and asked if she could get it in a cone. Within minutes, it was in her hand and was devoured minutes after that and I was only able to get a small bite! It was definitely tasty! Will have to get one for myself next time. When we went, there were so many families coming into the store and everyone got a warm welcome. The locals love this place and so do we.

I stopped by and had to try the "Alien Baby" (Baby Yoda) cone, and it did not disappoint! The shop is famous for its handcrafted character scoops. Seeing the staff transform a regular scoop of gelato into a masterpiece with ears and eyes in just a few minutes is like watching edible art come to life.  I went with a green base to keep the Baby Yoda theme authentic. They offer a few great green options like:  * Pistachio * Matcha I went with pandan it's a coconut flavor and the prices are amazing $5.50

Best gelato place in Orange County in my opinion…read more The highlight is their unique rotating flavors. I highly recommend choosing something from the rotating selection (bottom row) since it's where you'll find truly unique flavors.

I understand teenagers/young adults will be the way they are, but they didn't even greet us, didn't ask if we need help with anything, and didn't try to gauge what we might want. Instead one of the girls was singing along and dancing to a Justin Bieber song playing, she was wearing an ice cream cone sweater, then when we were ready to order the service shifted to the young man. It was confusing to know who to talk to. Then another couple came in and the same girl singing to the song seemed to be very helpful by greeting them and providing guidance. It really rubbed me the wrong way because I saw a shift in customer service. Again, I understand that young adults are probably not taking their job seriously. It didn't feel good seeing other people experience different customer service . That happen twice when another couple came in while we sat inside to eat. Would come back for the gelato.

We struggled to find a table and service was highly lacking - it was chaotic to be precise. This place has a cute ambience and it can do better with efficient management. However, once we got the table and were able to place our order, everything fell in place. The food was tasty , a lot better than I expected. The pinsas that we got were both very good.
