So overpriced. Way too much money for how small the portions are. Unless you have money to blow this place is not worth it.Tasted fine the kinder and pandan flavors were good. The earl gray milk chocolate was awful. Tasted floral which I was not expecting.The employees were not very friendly and just seemed like they wanted us to hurry up even though there was no one in line behind us

Waiting in line for food is obnoxious. But the line at Wanderlust on Culver moves fast, the employees are super friendly, and the ice cream is delicious. Gladly will "wait" in line again. Special thanks to the two ladies working behind the counter this evening, Sunday 04/14/24. Great job.

Portions too small...with weak with not much flavor.. couldn't taste the flavor added. In addition the server was bit rude as my kids took time to choose

I’ve never had ice cream this airy and fluffy with this much flavor! It’s so good and refreshing. The unique flavors make it a must try spot that leaves you wanting to come back every week to try a new one. Flavors are so well done. Great job Wanderlust!!

Stopped by this place after dinner nearby. If you are looking for unique and interesting flavors then this place is for you. Usually I try one or two flavors and make a choice. This time I had to try about 5-6 flavors to find something. Everything tasted good, but I was looking for more punch of flavor. The Vietnamese Rocky Road one for example had a little less of the coffee/espresso taste than I would like. We both ended up getting one of the seasonal flavors. Overall pretty good. If my wife craved it, I wouldn't mind going back, but wouldn't go out of my way to go get it.

Wanderlust Creamery is a small ice cream parlor with unique flavor combinations located in a busy shopping center. Prices are on the steep side, about $7-8 dollars for a split scoop in a cup or waffle cone cup, but the flavors (which you may sample!) do not disappoint. Favorites included the Ube Malted Crunch, Black Sesame Cookies and Cream, and Vietnamese Rocky Road. I also enjoyed the Ube Waffle Cone. Indoor (about 8-10 backless bar stools) and outdoor seating (tables/chairs) is available for patrons. Quick turnaround, friendly staff.

Creamy and delicious unique flavors of ice cream. They let you try samples and also let you get split scoops so you can get the best of 2 flavors in what they consider to be 1 serving. I got their pandan tres leches and black sesame oreo flavor. Their ice cream is a good balance of sweetness while still maintaining the actual flavor of what they are advertising themselves as. The texture is soft, almost gelato like but not icy! MY LIFE HAS BEEN CHANGED. So worth the price!!

I buy Ube ice cream by the pint. Consumed it at home, ice cream didn't have a single crunch, no malt in the whole pint. The malt is what makes it unique from all the Ube flavors in the stores. Now I know I will not buy pre-packed pint from here. I don't trust it.

The place looks inviting, they have cool flavors, exotic rather but the quality of the ice cream was underwhelming. The name of the place has "Creamery" but the ice cream itself is more like shaved ice, it fell apart each scoop and was messy to eat. Flavor was great tho. Overrated and overpriced, go somewhere else.
the customer service was...not good. also, the japanese neopolitan description on the board outside is different than the japanese neopolitan they're actually serving inside, highly disappointed as the prices for this ice cream is expensive compared to the amount. inconsistent with descriptions and flavors and unhappy staff especially since you wait so long to even get inside.

This is my favorite ice cream place, so you have no idea how excited I was when they decided to open a location closer to home. The line outside this place is always a long one, but the staff moves pretty quickly and there's also a kiosk to order as well if you know what you want. It's a small place, but there's a small bar area to chill and tables outside. My personal favorite flavors are the ube maled crunch, Vietnamese Rocky Road and the Japanese Neopolitan. But honestly, some of their seasonal flavors are just as good if not better. Keep an eye out on their IG for the flavors that change each month. They all go by different themed months culturally, so this place is a great way to enjoy flavors from around the world with their interpreation.

Had one of the best ice cream today. Pandan tres leches. Yummmm. I love tres leches so when i saw they had it with a unique twist. Off we go! Very tasty flavor. Had some green pandan biscuit crunch mixed in the ice cream. Such a delight. Pairs well with the ice cream!

Wanderlust Creamery is in a nice shopping district with a lot of other places to eat and hang out, so it is a nice dessert after a lunch or dinner. The flavors are pretty unique compared to the once's you see in other stores with flavors like yuzu, black sesame, or their seasonal menu that rotates every once in a while. The server was nice and helped me with my sample and order. I got a Japanese milk tea with boba half and Vietnamese rocky road half scoop for about 6 dollars. They say it's a half scoop for each flavor but the portion is basically 2 mini scoops. I enjoyed my flavors and will want to come back to try the other flavors! 4 stars for the price

Interesting flavors, fast service, easy to use self-service kiosk, but one star deduction because kiosk should allow picking same flavor multiple times, i.e., three time same flavor for cup of three scoops.
