A cute place to get that sweet tasty treat.You can come in and sample the different flavors they have before you finally decide on the ones you want.The waffle cone is the way to go, get the split scoop you’re gonna want more than one flavor.Staff was great, also awesome to see Filipinos representation and flavors that people get to enjoy.Cultures are meant to be shared and appreciated.Love their fusions and seasonal flavors that change, it keep it fresh and allowing to come back to try something new.This place also has pie hole and pressed juicery inside.They have seating area by the window where you can enjoy your treat and people watch.Lots of stores that you can visit on your visit either before or after.Parking garages are close by just be mindful of the time that passes by either parking isn’t too expensive.Dietary restrictions: The have vegan optionsParking: Parking garages in different spots and easy to walk to.It’s for 2 hr parking, pay at the machine, they sometimes have workers there to assist if you get stuck or forget to pay before you exit.There is also metered parkingKid-friendliness: Kids will love coming in to taste the different flavors

Most unique and delicious ice cream flavors you'll find. Even though it's on the pricey side, it's totally worth it!Wanderlust drew me in with their Pint Drops, which features a limited pint each week. I signed up for their mailing list and was given a password to enter their site to purchase their limited boba ice cream flavors, but they sold out in less than 15 min! It was insane! So... instead of paying $20 for shipping on their non-limited pints, I bought the following flavors online for curbside pickup.1. Ube Malted Crunch - 6/5 - this is way better than any ice cream I've tried. I love the little crunch bits and the creamy ube texture! I love it so much my family and I ate the whole pint in 3 days!2. Mango Sticky Rice - 4/5 - It tastes exactly as the dessert name states. I've never had this flavor in ice cream form which makes this flavor super unique!3. Vietnamese Rocky Road - 5/5 - If you love coffee, you'll love this flavor. It has hints of cacao nibs and coffee beans blended into a creamy ice cream. The coffee isn't too strong which makes it great for non-coffee drinkers too!4. Dewdrop White Peach Sorbet - 5/5 - The initial scoop had a sour kick, which was very light. The white peach is faint and refreshing for any hot day.5. Pandan Tres Leche - 5/5 - Very rich, gooey, and creamy ice cream with tres leche swirls.Curbside pickup is very fast and easy if no one else is in the loading zone. The only issue is that there's only one loading spot. All other zones in front of the shop are for the bus stop, so be careful because that can get a bit stressful and hectic.I'd like to add, the pints taste better than ordering scoops. Especially when ordering the Ube Malted Crunch. I found little to no malted crunch bits in my scoop.

Some weird flavors! Once in a while they’ll have a normal-ish flavor but this is a great place to go if you’re feeling adventurous!! The Durian icecream was actually quite good!Kid-friendliness: Treat your kids to some weird flavors!

I remembered this place from a Try Guys episode and always wanted to try it.I wasnt sure what to get as all of the flavors were super unique (inspired by other countries and/or a wonderful mixture of flavors i have never heard of lol).I asked the employee whats the most popular flavor and she said the Ube flavor (im sorry i cant remember the exact name, but it had Ube in the name and was purple). ?It was my first time trying Ube and let me tell you... IT WAS AMAZING!!! the ice cream was smooth and creamy and the ube had this lovely after taste that kept me wanting more! It wasnt overly sweet (which i appreciated) and i think i might have a new favorite ice cream flavor!!! 10/10 recommend (just be aware thatparking is tight as there were very few parking places). ? ? ? ? ?

Wanderlust has been a part of my ice cream go-to's since 2018 in their Venice location and have been going to their different locations all around Los Angeles.Their flavors are developed showcasing the different flavors of cities and countries globally. They truly take us ice cream lovers through that journey by either introducing us to something new or simply giving us a nostalgia of what we have had growing up or visited.The concept is pretty cool but the execution of their flavors are indeed what I look forward to. No matter what the flavor is- be it something to your liking or not, the descriptions match exactly what you taste and all are worth trying Atleast once.The base is always so creamy- whether it is vegan or not. And one can truly tell the precision and care taken to create their flavors.It is a trip around discovering what you think you may already love or something new that you would not have known to enjoy but actually do.My constant faves are the gianduia- a rich velvety hazelnut flavor- which is actually vegan but cannot tell because the flavor is just so so creamy, Vietnamese rocky road- coffee and chocolate with nuts and marshmallows- yes, please!, ube malted crunch, pandan tres leches. Each month they feature something new- and all of which are worth tasting. I have been left surprised by my choices many many times!Truly a fan of this place!

By far my favorite ice cream chain that is sadly only in Los Angeles.Taking desserts and foods from across the world, they change them into delicious ice cream flavors that are so delicious. For instance, there is mango & sticky rice, pandan tres leches, tiramisu, milk tea, Japanese Neapolitan, among many more. They have a set menu, but it can change from month to month.While other locations have nicer venues with outdoor seating and a storefront, this one located inside of a food hall still delivers on quality.Typically, one receives the scoops in a cup, but they also have it in a fun cone, like taro.There are also plenty of dairy-free options, which is always a major plus!

Ordered from the kiosk and got one scoop of Vietnamese rocky road Not too sweet, doesn't really taste like a Vietnamese coffee but definitely a coffee flavor Can taste the espresso beans, no taste of marshmallow, if you're looking for a rocky road flavor this isn't it Flavor was kind of mid, was expecting more Next time will go back to my usual order of the Sticky Rice & Mango

Such a yummy treat! I'm not really the biggest fan of ice cream by any means, just enjoy it here and there. I had a nice dinner out in town and after walking my dinner off I had a craving for somethin' sweet..Hopped on trusty Yelp and saw that wanderlust was only a few hundred feet away, so I headed there. The cute little shop is inside a little center with other small restaurants, it's a very cute place. Both employees were very sweet and the girl who was serving the ice cream offered to let me taste whatever flavor I wanted. I tried a few (acting like I wasn't gonna go for the Oreo anyways) and decided to get the Oreo one. I thought that was it, but the waffle cone just looked SO good, so I went for it!For someone who isn't the biggest fan of ice cream I didn't leave a crumb, it was soooo good, I will most definitely be back and recommend to anybody with a sweet tooth!
