This ice cream place has been on my list for a long time! Their unique flavors drew me in... And I was so excited to try! When I walked in the first thing I thought was how adorable it was. It would be such a fun place to hang with friends, eat ice cream, and play games. The ice cream flavors are indeed super unique and delicious! They let you try a few, and I had a hard time deciding! Everything tasted so fresh and yummy! I was super impressed with this place and can't wait to go back! Highly enjoyed the pistachio! read more

There was a long line outside Wanyen Cafe the day we drove by and wanted to know what the hoopla was all about. It happened to be hosting a pop up event for Kyookie but we were drawn in by the delicious sounding flavors. I had been missing a mango sticky rice ice cream in San Diego and was so excited to see that they offered one. We did wait in a line to order and everyone was ordering these elaborate Thai tea shakes with a slice of Thai tea tiramisu cake on top! Decadent! We all opted for one scoop of ice cream and the mango sticky rice was a clear winner. So refreshing and our tummies didn't hurt afterwards. Highly recommend! read more

Wanyen Cafe - Mango sticky rice! Vegan! - Desserts Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

This is hands down my favorite ice cream shop... ever. There's so many options, so at first it feels overwhelming. But every single option that I sampled was DELICIOUS. Asian inspired flavors done RIGHT and not just a syrup. We sat eating in awe. We each did two scoops where you can pick 3 flavors (it looks like 3 scoops)! We were shocked at how big but Mango sticky rice Saigon mocha brownie Ube Toasty sesame Bangkok Thai tea Coconut These were all gluten free except the brownie. We are from out of town but we wish we could come back or ship pints!! We will now compare our ice creams by saying ... on a scale of 1 to WANYEN, how good was it?! read more

Adorable little shop situated perfectly for a sweet treat and a scenic (while there isn't construction) walk. Service was fast and friendly considering the line out the door, and the place was extraordinarily clean despite the constant flow of patrons consuming drippy, sticky desserts. This'll be an easy place to go back to because they occupy a slightly different niche than the established ice cream giants of salt lake. There are numerous flavors here that you'd never find at Handels or Blacksmith, and you certainly would be hard pressed to find anything like the spectacular thai tea slushie. read more

Truly astonished at how good these flavors are - very fresh, authentic and not too sweet at all. LOVED the Saigon coffee and mango sticky rice flavors but all the flavors we tried were truly magnificent. I'm from California where Asia flavors are abundant especially in dessert but this place is probably the best Asian inspired flavored ice cream I've ever tried. The service was awesome as we tried sooo many samples and the girl who helped us didn't bat an eye. The ambiance is super cute and by so many other great food places so it's lovely to walk around this area. Definitely will think of this place when I think of SLC. read more

Had to go back and get some more ice cream. I got a pint of "Milky Hokkaido." If you are familiar with Japanese Milky's candy (it's been renamed to something I can't remember.) or with the White Rabbit candies, this tastes like it. They import the Hokkaido milk powder to make this ice cream. It's really good! As my last visit, the employees were very pleasant and helpful. The shop is quaint, smallish size, but enough room for a customer flow. Check out my menu photo. They have several things worth checking out. Like the combo plates. Looks so good. Their Caramel Crunch Toast recently got a shout out by Salt & Seek if you follow them. They have some unique flavors and you can sample them all. You will not find these flavors at your Baskin Robbins, even your Snelgroves or other places. They have a Thai-Vietnamese influence. You need to taste them all. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Tried Wanyen for the first time and was really excited we finally have an ice cream shop with unique Asian flavors. There was a good variety of ice creams and you can have up to 3 samples per person. We ended up getting the mango sticky rice and the Thai Tea. When we first walked in, it was a while before the staff acknowledged us. They were fulfilling a few orders from the group before, so they were probably distracted, but it didn't feel as welcoming. (I.e. Hi, Welcome in! We will be right with you). After we waited a bit, we got their attention eventually and they fulfilled our order shortly after. Hopefully it was just an off day! read more

Wanyen a great icecream/dessert shop that has an emphasis on asian flavors. Their shop is small, but easy to access from downtown. It's refreshing to see the variety of flavors that they have. They have easy options from picky eaters like Hokkaido milk and Mango sticky rice, and spanning to bolder flavors like black sesame and durian. They also have other desserts available, that can also come with a scoop of icecream. If you've found yourself at other shops saying "This icecream is too sweet and lacking flavor", then I would highly recommend Wanyen. The employees were nice, and helped with samples, offerings suggestions and answering questions. The shop is clean with a lot of fun decorations. There is enough room for a small to medium sized group, and orders come out pretty quick. read more

Small dessert shop with interesting ice cream flavors along with other desserts. Each person gets to sample 3 flavors. The blueberry one is kinda sour. Black sesame is okay. Malt my heart kinda tastes like milo. They also have different flavor waffle cones but I don't think they taste different, but they are good tho. Mango sticky rice is good too: sticky rice is well-cooked, mango is sweet, and you can choose any ice cream flavor. We go with mango sticky rice ice cream and it does have some mango puree in it, pretty cool. The coconut drink is basic. Thai tea slushie is quite sweet, and I'm not a big fan of this drink. This is one of the few places in SLC downtown that opens on Sunday. Service is kinda slow. read more

Such a cute little ice cream shop! It was very clean, calm, and artsy in there. Great customer service, we were greeted when we walked in and asked if we had any allergies when ordering (which was very nice and considerate). I got the mango sticky rice with mango sticky rice ice cream. The sticky texture from the rice, the smooth and cream consistency from the ice cream, and the freshness from the mango paired so well together! I'm still dreaming about this dessert, it was so delectable! My son got a mango yogurt smoothie, and you can tell that they used fresh mango! It was very refreshing, and the sweetness from the mango paired nicely with the little bit of tartness from the yogurt. My man got a Thai Tea, and it was so creamy and full of flavor! If you're craving a sweet treat then this is the place to go! Hoping to get back to try more ice cream soon. read more

Loved the different Asian flavor options they had. Will definitely have to come back and try the other I wasn't able to try. The gal helping our group was super patient with us deciding which three flavors we would all try. Cool little spot in the Pioneer Park area to end the night for dessert for sure. Definitely been recommending it to friends. read more

This Asian inspired treats spot has so many unique flavors and is a must try! The staff were friendly and answered questions we had about some flavors. Each person is allowed to try up to three flavors. We ordered the cocovibe, dreamy strawberry, toasted sesame, and ube ice cream. They were all so creamy and delicious! Each flavor was distinct and not too sweet. The pandan waffle was a perfect pair with the ice cream. I liked that it was too thick and crumbly. I can't wait to come back and try their other desserts. The mango sticky rice and ice cream sounds amazing! The space has a lot of seating and nice natural light from the wall to wall windows. It's located just north of pioneer park so there's plenty of street parking. read more

WooOOOooowZAH! Just the cutest little place, with the sweetest staff and next-level deserts! We ordered the Caramel Butter Toast and added an extra scoop because why not and the sheer quality, flavor heights, fresh fruits, sweet&salty combo and crunchy textures had us thrown into a frenzy that could certainly lead to a Wanyen Butter Toast addiction. It's a thing of beauty and if your sweet tooth is ever-a-itching, pop in and selfishly soothe it...you won't be disappointed! read more

Went to try this place because it specializes in Asian flavor ice cream and desserts - sounds so yum and unique! That day, they didn't have the matcha tea ice cream that I really wanted to try. I got a young coconut frappe instead. It was good, a bit too sweet for me. I will return to try more flavors. As for service, they were a little slow. However the atmosphere is cute! Like everywhere in downtown SLC, parking wasn't the best but there are some spots behind or to the side of the store read more

We chose peach oolong after tasting a few flavors. This peach oolong is soooo good. I'm a big fan of Van Leewen's earl grey ice cream and this peach oolong is pretty much up there. Overall a small shop, nice feeling inside, clean tables. read more

Found this cute spot on TikTok, so glad I did! I tried their Mango sticky rice with ice cream. The ice cream was the "mango sticky rice". Their menu is small but mainly consist of drinks, sweet desserts, and possibly one savory treat. The mango sticky rice presentation was beautiful. One thing I would like differently would be the rice not served hot or warm my only complaint. It's probably served like that normally but maybe I'll get use to it. The rice has some nuts that give it an extra crunch was which enjoyable. Over all, cute little spot, staff were nice. If I am ever back in Utah i'll return! read more

Always love seeing new Asian dessert restaurants popping up so I was very excited to try Wanyen. The service was pretty quick and we are allowed 3 flavor samples per person. We ordered the mango sticky rice plate which also includes a scoop of ice cream of your choice. We chose the mango sticky rice flavor as that is their best seller. The presentation was beautiful and I love how it was presented. The food was good and the ice cream was very flavorful. My only complaint is that the ice cream texture wasn't very creamy. read more

Been wanting to try this place out. Was excited to try the mango sticky rice. They were out of mangos!!! How?! When this dessert is the star! We opted for sticky rice with double scoops of the mango ice cream. Very cute esthetics, the sticky rice was very delish, the mango ice cream, we were not a fan. More on the sweet side, too sweet! The Thai ice coffee as well. Wayyyy too sweet! Cute place, but if you're not a very sweet sweet sweet dessert person, don't really recommend. read more

Value for money: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 5 Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 5 Thank you, Come Again?: 5 Wanyen is such a charming spot in Salt Lake City, offering Asian-inspired drinks, desserts, and dishes with a playful twist. We stopped in for a sweet treat and ordered the Mango Sticky Rice. It was very delicious! Beautifully presented with vibrant mango slices and perfectly cooked sticky rice. The texture was spot-on. The rice was not too mushy and perfectly cooked. The sweetness was subtle and balanced. The store itself is adorable, with whimsical kawaii-style drawings and decor that make the space feel fun and inviting. It's the kind of place that makes you smile as soon as you walk in. If you're craving a dessert or just want to soak in the cute atmosphere, Wanyen is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back to try more from their menu and Asian inspired ice cream flavors.

I always love seeing Asian-flavored ice cream/dessert places! This cute place has all the Asian flavors you could ever want too. The black sesame ice cream was the best I've had in a while, and the strawberry ice cream was so fresh and the perfect tartness. The prices are a little high....but it aint cheap to have high quality flavors. So I'll probably be back to try more things haha. Service was a little slow cause there were only two girls working, but they scooped good portions and were super nice! read more

What a cute dessert shop! My friend showed me this place on IG and we've been trying to make it here since. If you love Asian flavors, this place is for you. I got two scoops, the Thai tea and the banana almond. I have a weird obsession with banana ice cream. Both flavors were so good, subtly sweet, for all my Asians. We got to meet the owner who took our order and scooped our ice cream and made and delivered our matcha latte to our table. She explained the meaning of the name of the restaurant, she's from Thailand and the literal translation is cold water, aka ice cream. Make your way downtown and treat yo self read more

What a hidden gem! I was surprised when I walked in. I was immediately drawn to the ice cream flavors, as there's a lot of asian flavors!!! The staff were super welcoming, patient, and friendly. You are allowed 3 samples, so I was able to try durian, mango sticky rice, and roasted sesame. I ended up getting a scoop of banoffee and Vietnamese coffee. My friend got the green tea peppermint and it was soo good!!! Each flavor was so spot on to the original food/beverage it was made by; it was creamy and just so good! Another thing I really enjoyed was that they offer different cone flavors. I got a cocoa flavored waffle cone with my ice cream and it tasted so good!! It's very nicely decorated for the season right now, but I can definitely see this as a cute date spot or hangout spot with friends. They also serve other sweet treats and drinks that all look so good. I will definitely be coming back with friends in the future!! read more

Stumbled upon this place one evening near my hotel in downtown SLC. It appears to be newly opened. Decided to check it out. The staff was very friendly and answered all my questions about the menu. They even provided samples of the ice cream. I ended up getting the Affo-Scoop with coconut ice cream. I'm not a huge coffee fan, but the coconut really balanced it out. Later in the week I went back and tried the Mango Sticky Rice Ice Cream. The said you could get any flavor ice cream but recommended the mango. I decided to go with it. It was very interesting. I'd like to try it again with a different flavor ice cream. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. read more

I got milky Hokkaido and my family got mango sticky rice and two scoops of ube and milky hokkaido. 4 bucks for one scoop was reasonable considering it tasted good and was handmade. All flavors we tried were great. I tried the bangkok tea and it was great! Not too sweet. But for ten bucks, the sticky rice was underwhelming. Huge box, tiny portion, and expensive for what it was but delicious nonetheless. read more
