WANDERLUST is one of those places you need to write a review about immediately after you visit because the next month, the flavor that I will be reviewing about will no longer be available --- But I'm doing it anyway so you get an idea how good their experiments are. For the first time though, I tried their sticky rice and mango --- I don't know how they get the flavors spot on but they really do. It really is like eat real sticky rice and real mango. Staff is infinitely patient. Especially since we brought some out of towners. read more

Love the diverse Asian flavors offered. Definitely pricey for a single scoop though. Pandan tres leches had great flavor and the Japanese neopolitan was so milky and roasty at the same time. While the flavors were strong and unique, the ice cream texture itself was certainly airy and occasionally icy. Not the smoothest or creamiest ice cream I've had. Only a bench for seating inside. read more

I don't do dairy so I did not think Wanderlust Creamery was an option. I can happily say, I was wrong. My friend, a BIG Wanderlust fan, and I visited this Wanderlust on a Saturday evening. It's located in a little strip mall with a big parking lot. Parking was easy as all of the other businesses were closed and Wanderlust was not busy. The brightly lit shop had the vibe of an old-school creamery with a modern twist. Metal picnic tables outside were available for seating. They had about 24 different and very creative flavors, five of which were vegan. We were able to sample a few of them and ultimately decided on Makrut Lime Creamsicle and Balsalmic Strawberry Gin. Delicious! Service was great. The person helping us was patient and friendly. Pricing seemed to be a bit higher than other ice cream stores but this is a creamery where ice cream is made fresh on site. This is a fun must visit! read more

We love checking the monthly rotating flavors. Wanderlust does their ice creams with uniqueness and taste as close to how they are prescribed, without it being too sweet. Kinda pricey (tasting trio $7.75 and split single $7) but for occasional visits, it's worth. Luckily there are more locations now than when they first opened. Small parking lot, but empty closer to closing. Always a good pace of people going in and out tho. Not much seating inside. Staple favorite flavors include: Japanese Neopolitan and Black Sesame Cookies n cream(?) Shout out to previous seasonals that I've tried previously include: Che Thai (viet), Lychee, and more recently for the lunar new year the-- - Oolong Pineapple Cake (half), tho after getting it, it had an airy consistency that I wouldn't get again - Milky Tang Yaun (half): hands down theeee best, that we had to come back to get it (and it happened to be the last serving of it). It tastes even more black-sesamey than the staple flavor, and with the mochi-like chewiness of the tang yaun UGGG chefs kiss pls make it a staple flavor read more

Since October is Filipino American History Month, this Pinay-owned creamery is pulling out all of the stops with limited edition Filipino flavours! The brown butter sans rival with a brown butter cone was SO GOOD. Seriously, one of the best ice-cream experiences of my life. It was so delicious that I went back into the store to beg the employees to open a location in Toronto. read more

Will always come to show my love for wanderlust. The most unique and amazing flavors that you will find in all of LA and for a decent price. (A little bit pricey but you get what you pay for). This time around that I went, they were out of a lot of flavors, but usually they are stocked with my favorites like Japanese Neapolitan, mango sticky rice, and Ube. I definitely recommend coming here! They also have a rewards system and a free parking lot. read more

Finally got to try wanderlust after however many years of the forever hype and found it a hit or miss for me! I usually am okay with coconut but found that the base with coconut milk were much more overpowering that I couldn't taste much of the actual flavors -- passion fruit cacao and the mango sticky rice. I also tried the strawberry daifuku and beyond the mochi, I didn't get much more than that. Went again the day after with another friend and had the ube crunch and this was solid, although the crunch melted fast in the humid heat of this week. I also got the lilikoi passion fruit and it was refreshing and tasted like a mango Chile Mexican sorbet. My favorite was the kaya toast. It had a reminiscent flavor to a nutty pistachio. I definitely want to come back to try more of their flavors. **also the other downside, there aren't many seatings available for wanderlust and the back tables are for pie hole. I ended up getting something to sit back there. read more

My first time at this location. I never saw it before today wtf lol. ALL the flavors are amazing not too sweet very enjoyable. The girl working today is so polite. 9years here and I don't know. Now I do and I'll be coming here a lot more often when the cravings kick in. read more

Of the various "upscale" ice cream places in town, this is my favorite. It's not just the quality - and believe me, the quality here is top notch - there's just something... I don't know... friendly about their flavors, if that makes sense. They're not trying for chic craziness with, say, Pastrami ice cream. Nor do the flavors feel rose-petal arrogant. Which is not to say there aren't flavors with potentially "weird" ingredients here. But somehow, they just make it work. It's actually kind of amazing. And then on top of that, they're open late. Not a lot of locations - I'm crazy lucky that they have one here in Tarzana - so you might not be that close to one. But totally worth the trip, IMO. Tarzana location is mostly (maybe only these days?) outside seating read more

UBE MALT! Best flavor! If you love ube flavored things, this is spot on. Legit tastes like ube. Not much else to say about that matter. I remember coming here when the owners just started. They were a local new business, just introducing these new exotic flavors to the valley. Now they're all over Los Angeles and lines are out the door at every location! The hype is real the quality speaks for itself. I used to buy pints of their icecream because my roommates and family members could never stop asking about it. I even recently had friends have them cater their ice-cream at their wedding! Make sure to keep this place in mind if you're anywhere in LA craving ice cream. Search for the closest wanderlust and I'm sure it'll be right around the corner for you! read more

WHEN: Sun @2:30pm PANDAN TRES LECHES Sweet cream ice cream serves as a blank canvas for crumbs of housemade pandan sponge cake + ribbons of condensed milk in this southeast Asian-inspired take on tres leches. The pandan is subtle here since it's in the sponge cake, and not the ice cream it self. Still overall good, and the nice textures of the cake. I got the Single Scoop ($6.50) on their ube waffle cone ($1.50) and it's just a very gorgeous site. I'm so fascinated by all the different and unique flavors, especially when they are inspired all parts of Asia. This location was inside a shopping area so there's a decent amount of free parking but they are all pretty tight. read more

It's 95 degrees and up out... Do you know where your inner child is? Telling you to cool off with something tasty, refreshing and dare I say... Wonderful? It's at this local small shop Wanderlust Creamery location in the sunny San Fernando Valley city of Tarzana, Los Angeles, California. The place with a smorgasbord of delicious flavors like no other!! Do try it all or if you're like me and dairy-free, everything you can which is a very healthy amount. Vegan Malte Ube all day!! Sticky Rice + Mango, a classic go to, Earl Grey (Coconut) Milk Chocolate... We very much enjoy you to though not as much as Passionfruit Cacao and the brand new summer seasonal vegan goodness that is Aussie Pavlova "white chocolate" passionfruit that will take you miles away... and make you non passive in every way!! Sorry Drake, I like my mix for this... much like the outstanding Wanderlust Tarzana Team service!! The people who work here are enough to make you want to come back and enjoy... Did I mention you can also by buy the pint... Put those ice packs and ice in the cooler and stock up! Like most locations there is only seating directly outside, but for WC TarZ... you can do so under some shady spots on their shared patio with other fooderies. The parking lot is also shared and usually pretty easy in and out with some metered options on Ventura Blvd and side streets from the corner of Reseda Blvd / Ventura Blvd (the corner of this creamery) and beyond. Get two scoops, maybe three... maybe more... So you can stay cool in summer and wonderful with frozen fun all year long with Wanderlust - Tarzana. Q Tip: Read the signs for the doors please, also help cut down of the cross heat breeze. read more

10/08/2023: Why does it feel like summer in October? Off to get some ice cream to cool down. YAY! The flavors are so much fun and endless. There were so many choices. I wanted to try them ALL. In honor of Filipino American Heritage Month, I had to try Bretman Rock Collab called Da Fruity Salad w/ a scoop of Pandan. I'm from Hawaii and you know, I had to support Hawaii locals. The Pandan was lacking the "pandan" flavor. Da Fruity Salad however was delicious. It reminded me of my childhood living in Oahu. The chunks of the fruit and tropical flavors were spot on. Thank you Wanderlust! read more

We went there one night after dinner after looking on yelp for some great sounding ice cream flavors - get there and it's closed! Nothing left of the store but a shell. No signs of closure for reno or anything - it's just closed. read more

The venue at Topanga social is everything. It's a better concept than just a food court in a mall. At 10pm ppl were still hanging out. Young couples were watching movies on their iPads lol. The flavors were fun and unique. But the ube crunch is still my favorite. The malt like crunch is chewy and crunchy, salty and sweet. I didn't try them all but the ones I did were incredibly creamy. But here for the late night vibes, live band and good energy. The whole family loved it. read more

Fantastic Asian influenced flavors to choose from anytime you stop! This place is excellent. The flavors bring back all kinds of memories from childhood. I love that you can grab a pint to take and share. The space is tight but there's an outdoor patio that you can sit in the summer heat and melt your scoop as you lick. read more

Love that they use actual spoons to give out samples instead of plastic/wooden ones. I loved the Subak Hwache sherbet! Very refreshing and I enjoyed the jellies but wished the pieces were a bit bigger. It's a seasonal flavor so go try it out! Service was fast and I loved the inside decor. There's outside seating btw! read more

I was really excited to try this place as I had it bookmarked for a while, and I was intrigued by the unique flavors. Thank you to the sweet girls working behind the counter who had a lot of patience as our family of five tried multiple flavors before finalizing our decision . Unfortunately, nothing quite hit the mark for me, despite sampling four different flavors. They were all sooooo bland. I was disappointed. So, I didn't get any :( My kids liked their ice cream, and the Ube cones were very unique attribute. Excessively overpriced, though! read more

Wanderlust has become my favorite ice cream place (with multiple locations in the valley) thanks to the Tres leches pandan and Ube ice creams (and their respective cones flavors)!! So delicious!! They also sell pints to go. The options are so diverse and unique (for example, they have a Mango & sticky rice flavor which tastes exactly like the dessert). You should go now and thank me later :) read more

My favorite ice cream store in LA hands down. The unique flavors offered here aren't found anywhere else. I love how each flavor tells a story, offering a taste of different cultures through the lens of ice cream is both playful and informative. Unfortunately Tarzana is a bit more of a trek from where I live but it's one worth making and each time I visit I look forward to what new stories I'll learn . read more

Went for an impromptu post family dinner dessert outing. Some of us ended up at a gelato shop and the rest of us ended up here and I'm so glad I was able to try some of their flavors. The staff is very friendly and don't mind if you try the different flavors before you order. My mind was blown with their mango sticky rice flavor. It literally tasted like a mango sticky rice just in icecream form. read more

First discovered at the Topanga Social mall and amazed by all their flavors. I love the diversity and dedication to the different cultures. I'd definitely recommend getting a triple split scoop if you want to try 3 flavors for only $.75 more than a single or a split scoop (2 flavors). You can also order or buy pints - though the prices just went up to like $13. It's definitely a "special occasion" treat so can't wait to have it at my wedding! read more

Always try the sessional monthly flavors. This January I had the Nanaimo bar and the pretzel flavor in a split cup. So good!!

Right next to Coffee bean, can be kind of hard to see from the street. Looking forward to coming back for more scoopzzzz! read more

Wanderlust Creamery always seem to come out with new limited flavors and we always want to try them, and they never disappoint! We tried them all! If you want a tarty/sweet flavor, try the Yuzu Creamsicle, this was my favorite. I got the split single size cup (two scoops) and paired this with the Mango Sticky rice (my go to). The Royal Milk Tea Ramisu, Black Sesame cookies and cream were very good, they both had pronounced flavors. The Jasmine Sea Salt and Strawberry Daifuku had subtle flavors which were very good! We really enjoyed the Injeoli Toast also! Reminded me of Brick Toast dessert. The service was great, place was clean, and there are seating areas both inside and out. They are located in a strip mall with ample parking. I encourage you to sample some flavors before you choose your favorite. All there ice creams are wonderful so you can't go wrong! Enjoy! Happy Nom Nom! read more

Wanderlust is a great little gem, and now my favorite summertime treat spot! It definitely echoes that hip, monochromatic chic that LA is notorious for, but with a charming kick. This is the kind of ice cream shop that you go to if you're not the typical chocolate or vanilla person and want something different from your ice cream. With flavors like Thai Tea, Tres Leches and Earl Gray, this is definitely a place to explore the world's flavors. The staff is always on top of things and offers samples for those curious to try before they commit to a scoop. You can get a scoop in a cup, or in a homemade waffle cone that never disappoints. read more

Unique flavors around the world! I came here with a friend on a Friday, and I believe a few workers were being trained when we arrived because five staff members were working up at front. Which, is great if there were a lot of customers! But there wasn't (it was just us two when we arrived) so... I confess... it felt a bit intimidating to have all eyes on us. Okay, long story short, it felt awkward! So I kinda rushed into choosing what flavors I wanted... but that's okay! My problem for feeling awkward. I only took some stars off because the ice cream didn't taste as fresh or delicious as other places I've been to (like Salt & Straw, Dreyer's, etc.) Maybe it's the flavors I chose. It was just meh... I should probably come again and try different flavors next time, but as I mentioned, it just tasted OK... nothing really special... especially given the high price point. Nevertheless, don't let my experience sway you... decide yourself! read more
