Sooooo good that we bought 2 pints home !! Highly recommend the ube malted crunch and Vietnamese rocky road. Service was awesome; they let you try so many different flavors before buying. I appreciate the variety in flavors and they are allll so unique and yummy. read more

I really liked the flavors at Wanderlust Creamery! Very unique flavors that you don't usually find find at other places and I like that they have seasonal flavors! I tried their Pandan Tres Leches and Black Sesame Cookies & Cream and both were amazing! I liked the black sesame one a little more, it wasn't overly sweet and had a nice nutty flavor. Highly recommend! read more

Terrible service and terrible ice cream. Owners are rude and have poor judgment. Would not recommend.

We gave the ube ice cream a try and I really love it. It reminded me of taro. Not sure if that is the same family but nevertheless it was very creamy. The sweetness is not overbearing which I liked a lot. Would definitely give this a place to go again when I'm back in the town. read more

The rainy weather mixed with sunshine in Seattle is making me think about these fancy "Escape Bars" from WANDERLUST CREAMERY that I tried during my last visit to SMORGASBURG in Los Angeles a few weeks ago while I was in town for a quick visit. For $7 a pop, these bars were decadent, creamy, and come in interesting exotic flavors. I still prefer their outstanding scoops that I've had many times in their stores. However, these bars are a fun option to change things up. I tried their Japanese Neapolitan and my friend Steph tried their Passionfruit Cacao. Both were packed with their unique flavors and had a nice crunch from their individual chunky toppings. Try it! I think you'll like it. read more

I've wanted to try their Venice location for a while but never have for one reason or another. Nonetheless, I was finally able to try Wanderlust Creamery at ROWDTLA. I came near closing time, so it's no surprise they were already out of Ube cones *tear*. I ordered two scoops of ice cream - one ube and one Japanese matcha with sesame (I believe?). I really enjoyed both flavors, especially the ube. Next time I'll be sure to come early to have it in the ube cone! read more

More curated selection of flavors at their Smorgasburg booth. Go to one of their storefronts to get the full selection of unique flavors. Today their Sakura ice cream bar dipped in matcha chocolate was one of the offerings. I tasted more strawberry than cherry blossom in the ice cream but this was a wonderful marriage of flavors and textures. read more

Ordered the Sticky Rice and Mango ice cream which was vegan. It was smooth and delicious w coconut and mango flavor to it. It was a little pricey with it being $6/scoop so it's better if you can get more scoops as it gets cheaper per scoop. I would've also wanted to try the ube and black sesame flavors, but was too full. My friend has also brought various pints of ice cream from Wanderlust with some interesting flavors. Would definitely try more of their ice cream. read more

The ice cream at Wanderlust is so good! I love their unique flavors that pay homage to different cultures and countries. Some of my favorites are the Ube Malted Crunch and the Japanese Neopolitan. The flavors really shine, and the ice cream base itself is super creamy. read more

Have wonderful ice cream at wanderlust creamery ! They opened order online, and the Jasmine Sea salt Boba flavor was sold out in five minutes. Luckily, my #foodie buddy got me a quart of it. Surprised that the #gelato have green color, maybe that color come from #matcha . The taste of the ice cream is more likely Earl Grey tea more than Jasmine tea. The boba is very chewy and it's not turn hard when it's frozen. I guess the boba was made similar as #mochi then it has good texture even in frozen ice cream. read more

Wanderlust Creamery is Inspired by travel, I'm already loving everything about the company! Wanderlust, means a strong desire to travel which I suffer from. In this case it is an ice cream parlor that has numerous creative signature and seasonal flavors. Since I was at Smorgasburg, I thought perfect time to try their ice cream as it was also pretty warm outside. Who doesn't fancy ice cream--it's perfect all year round and yes, even in the cold/winter! They had a few flavors at the event in particular and I decided to go with all three vegan flavors. The flavors were fire+blood, apple wasabi sorbet, and sticky rice+mango. I know what you're thinking...Serrano peppers, ginger and wasabi--what was I thinking? It doesn't sound very appetizing but It was actually really good. It's not that spicy honest (just a hint of spice) and all flavors complimenting one another. I absolutely love ginger and was happy to try it ice cream form. It was refreshing and quite the treat on this one sweet day! 3 flavors: Fire+blood--spicy sorbet made of dragon fruit, blood orange, and Serrano pepper. Apple wasabi--green apple, ginger, and wasabi. Sticky rice+ Mango--housemade rice milk, coconut cream, and swirls of mango purée. "Wherever you travel to it becomes apart of you somehow!" -Anita Desai read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review about this business. I've tried this place a few times while visiting at Smorgasburg as well as very recently at the 626 Night Market. Both times have been great. What originally brought Wanderlust to my attention was the fact that the co-founder of this business is the granddaughter of a flavor chemist at Magnolia ice cream. For those that are not familiar with Magnolia ice cream is a Filipino ice cream brand that specializes in familiar Filipino household treats like coconut, avocado, mango and you guessed it...ube. I had a feeling that this was going to be a good ice cream shop even just based on that. I grew up eating ube ice cream and I always remember enjoying every bite of it, especially when added to my halo-halo. For my most recent visit at the night market, I went for two scoops. The first scoop was the sticky mango rice ice cream and the second was the ube malted crunch. I have to say, if I had to choose between the two, the ube malted crunch one my heart...hands down. Something about it just takes me back to my childhood while adding that millenial flare to entice everyone's tastebuds, not just the kids that grew up to it. I recommend everyone to give this place a try! read more

Ice cream inspired by cultures all around the world! Who could resist this?! Ube Malted Crunch, Japanese Neapolitan, & more. Also, the time that I went, they had 3 Game of Thrones inspired flavors! Sticky Rice & Mango: Their most popular flavor. Their ice cream definitely had the texture of grounded up rice. It tasted exactly like grounded up sticky rice & mango, it was nuts! But, sad to say, I would try to get a different flavor because although I am a huge fan of the dessert, I think their other flavors could have been better. read more

Dropped by today as the last stop in my foodie tour of Smorgasburg. Best decision ever. Couldn't decide between mango sticky rice vs. ube flavors. Ended up getting the mango sticky rice ice cream single scoop on a $1 ube code. SO HAPPY. Waited forever to get my scoop, but was definitely in for a delightful surprise! The ice cream tastes just like eating a real mango sticky rice dessert!! LOVE IT. Ube cone was a nice touch; although can't taste much of the ube flavor. It only costs $1 so why not. Single scoop $5 double soup $7 triple scoop $9 ube cone $1 I spent a total of $6; pricey but oh-so-tasty!!! read more

My friend raved out about this place and fortunately we were able to check it out at Smorgasburg LA. Japanese neopolitan: matcha, black sesame, and hojicha. I would say their matcha is the best matcha ice cream I've had by far. The matcha flavor was not overly strong nor sweetened and there wasn't a milky aftertaste. The black sesame flavor was bold enough to stand out on its own even when swirled with the two other flavors. To be quite honest, I don't even think there was hojicha in my scoop since I couldn't taste it. I definitely want to check out their store and taste the other flavors they have! read more

Tried their ube malted crunch at Smorgasburg. It was a little underwhelming in terms of ube flavor. I thought it was an interesting combo to pair malted balls with ube but the ube flavor was a little muted and possibly overpowered. It was quite pricey too. read more

Went to check out Smorgasbord on a rainy Sunday right when they open: 10am. My friend saw Wanderlust and immediately suggested ice cream because he had heard of it and wanted to try it. I was down! Here's what we shared: DOUBLE SCOOP - $7 STICKY RICE + MANGO Housemase rice milk and coconut cream. Alphonso Mango swirl. Vegan and diary free. I would have never guessed this to be vegan! It tastes creamy with the right amount of sweetness! It was full of flavor and definitely tasted like sticky rice and mango! I recommend this! So good! UBE MALTED CRUNCH Malted Milk + Sweet Purple Yam. Crunchy malted milk pieces. This subtly sweet scoop was delicious. I enjoyed the crunchy milk pieces too--they were sweet which gave the ice cream a nice balance of texture and sweetness! The guy working the kiosk offered to decorate our bowl with an UBE CONE on top for $1 and that really made the overall presentation lovely! The cone definitely had the ube taste and it was pretty good. I forgot his name but he was really cool and nice to us! I really hope to come back to try the other flavors :) I love this place! read more

I have been trying to go to the actual store but I have not been successful. When I saw them at LA Smorgasbord in ROW LA on Sunday, I knew I had to wait in line to try it.

Both cashier and server had a service with a smile. read more

I came back to ask if they filled pints. I was about to buy a container somewhere and ask how much they'd charge me to fill it up. I love this place and their seasonal flavors. Although this is the first time I'm reviewing them, I have been coming for yours. When I'm at smorgasborg I always get at least one ice cream from here. This time I oped for the passionfruit with nibs on top. It was so tart, slightly sweet and fresh tasting, there is truly no better ice cream that I've had. Additionally for someone like me who is a health nut, this is ice cream that I can feel good about eating. Normally they had a vegan options on the menu if you're into that sort of thing and whether vegan or not, their flavors are always on point. read more

Pretty wide range of flavors! They base their flavors off from travels across the world hence their name My bf and I shared a 3 scoop. The flavors we chose were: -Mango sticky rice -Ube -Pandan The ice cream was very light and airy. (Personally I prefer a thick and dense ice cream ) but the taste was good! Looking forward to trying their other flavors read more

Very good artisanal ice cream, but just be aware that it's priced accordingly. Their popular ube malted crunch lives up to the hype, putting a playful spin on ube ice cream (which on its own has become relatively popular as an ice cream flavor in Cali) by introducing some wonderful textural contrast via the malted crunch. The mango sticky rice was also excellent; tastes just like its namesake dessert and probably one of the best non-dairy ice creams I've ever had. Do wish that they gave slightly bigger portions for the price they charge, but I do get the hype behind this place, and it's pretty justified. read more

This was amazing -- some of the best ice cream I've found lately. First visit, got a scoop of ube malted crunch in an ube cone and absolutely fell in love.

All natural fine ingredients homemade style ice cream absolutely delicious, usually about four vegan flavors. Really unique flavors, A+ The taster trio is a great option to try several flavors without eating a crazy amount of ice cream. Although even the half scoops are pretty big. The sticky mango rice flavor wasn't my favorite a little sweet for my tastes. The purple cone was really good too I would recommend this place to people that like different things and like trying new things. It's not a very chocolate and vanilla place read more

So much yes! Wanderlust Creamery really takes the cake when it comes to innovative flavors that actually deliver. And I like that they have a theme to their flavors (travelling inspiration from countries) because they really stay true to delivering the right flavors instead of losing sight of them. I got the Japanese Neapolitan and the Earl gray flavors. I also tried my friend's pretzel rugbraud. All were fantastic, but my personal favorite was the Japanese Neapolitan. With a mixture of matcha, sesame, and hojicha, each bite was so full of joy. And all that, without the caffeine side effects that rain down hard on me...I'm sold! Prices are a bit steep, but worth every penny in my opinion. Can't wait to try other flavors! read more

Got to check out Wanderlust Creamery at Smorgasburg LA this past Sunday w a friend! Ice cream was actually pretty good. It was much more creamier & smooth than your usual ice creams. The flavors were unique and different. We got a double with their Sakura Latte & Japanese Neapolitan and both were very good. I personally prefered their sakura latte bc it was sweeter. But their Japanese Neapolitan was good as well and I liked that you can actually taste the macha. I appreciated that both weren't super sweet like some ice cream. We also got the double in an ube cone... But I couldn't really taste ube from the cone... Just tasted like a regular waffle cone to me. Price was alittle pricey (Double $7 + Ube Cone $1 = $8) but it was good so I didn't mind the price too much plus everything at the Smorgasburg is expensive. Overall it was good and I would probably get it again. read more

Wow this ice cream is very good. BUT one tiny little scoop is NOT worth $5. The Japanese Neapolitan was super creamy and with subtle flavor. Try it once but it will definitely make a dent in the wallet if you get it more than once. BTW they do not let you sample it at Smorgasburg lool sad read more

Wanderlust Creamery - Japanese Neopolitan! Single Scoop $5 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was very excited to try Wanderlust to the point I was bugging my roommate for weeks to come with me. The flavor options are unique and have a lovely touch of Asian tropical fruit flavors. I wished the flavors came out a bit more in the ice cream though. All of the flavors seem a bit bland and I tried a lot before choosing 3. read more

Wow, these flavors though... Ube Malted Crunch? Sticky Rice + Mango? Abuelita Malted Crunch? YES PLEASE! Wanderlust Creamery was one of the main reasons why I wanted to go to Smorgasburg LA so badly. Coming with 2 other people was a GREAT idea because then we could try 3 different ice cream flavors! We got our scoops in a cup, the ube waffle cone is $1 extra. I would've tried it if we had gotten 1 or 2 scoops but 3 would have been WAY too many for one cone and for the amount of ice cream they give. They are very generous as they should be for the price of one scoop ($5)! I wish I could have sampled all of their flavors though because everything sounded AMAZING. The Ube Malted Crunch was very flavorful but if you get this, I recommend tasting it first before your other flavors because after those it doesn't taste like much unless you cleanse your palate before trying it. It does have a stronger ube taste than other ube ice creams I've tried but it is still lighter compared to the other two flavors we got. This was my second favorite! The Sticky Rice + Mango was very good! Made with their homemade rice milk and mango swirl, this flavor was very creamy, smooth, and sweet. I liked the balance of milky and mango flavor. It did melt faster than the dairy ice creams; i'm guessing it's because of the rice milk base. This was my third favorite flavor. My favorite of the three was Abuelita Malted Crunch! Made with malted milk, mexican hot chocolate, cinnamon,dark chocolate freckles, and malted milk pieces; this flavor was absolutely amazing! A good balance of sweetness and richness and creaminess. I'm a big fan! Highly recommend this flavor! I will definitely be going back to Smorgasburg as there are soo many different food vendors to try and Wanderlust will be revisited! If you ever have the chance to try Wanderlust, do it! read more

Im not a big fan of sweets but when i saw they offered the White Rabbit candy flavor, all i can think of was the nostalgia of me being a kid back in the days excitely ripping the rice paper off the candy before i devour it so of course i had to try the ice cream. When we arrived, it wasnt packed and its a small little ice cream place, cute. The servers there were super nice and offered samples before we made our selection. I obviously already knew what i wanted but my friends had a few samples before deciding. Overall, everyone liked their choices and it was a great experience! read more

The first thing I was asked was "Have you been here before?" I loved that they asked me this because it was in fact, my first time here! When I replied with a, "Yes it's my first time here," the cashier told me I could try all of the flavors. (Say whatttt?! I can sample it all??!) You better believe I sampled most of the flavors and wow were they good. It made my final decision tough but here's what I ordered: 1. Ube Malted Crunch & Kinder Bueno on an Ube Cone - Ube (pronounced ooh-beh) is the Tagalog word for "purple yam." I was skeptical about this flavor because I didn't want to consume all of that purple food coloring and I didn't want my mouth to turn bright lavender but it's an all natural purple yam (so no, it won't stain my teeth). I decided to give it a go. Kinder Bueno is a chocolate bar made by Ferrero. I lovvveeee the hazelnut chocolate so this was by far my favorite flavor. 2. Tonka Bean & Smokey Road - I know... you're probably like "Tonka what?!" That's what I said too. It predominantly taste like vanilla bean and amaretto. It's extra rich vanilla bean with a hint of caramel flavor. That's the only way I can describe it. The smokey road was equally amazing especially since I'm a fan of rocky road ice cream. Chocolate ice cream, almonds and marshmallows... what more can I ask for?! I wish there were more of these around, I love all of the exotic flavors. Flavors like this can't be found everywhere so you must take advantage and stop in if you're nearby. read more

The idea of this ice cream company is that tge flavors are inspired by travel, hence the name Wanderlust Creamery. I love this idea!! The ice cream was excellent. The flavors were definitely unique and worked well together... not just for "unique's sake." The ice cream was high quality and not overly sweet, it was just right. Cannot wait to get back and try more flavors. Additionally, the customer service was good. I ordered a single scoop cone, but there was a mix up and they had made it a double scoop one with the flavor I ordered and a different flavor. I told them I ordered a single scoop, but they happily gave me the double scoop any... Thanks guys, I would never had ordered that flavor, but glad I had the chance to try it. read more

Asian themed Ice Cream flavors! Located in the back corner of Smorgasburg. They have a limited ice cream selection compared to their store location in Tarzana. They accept credit card. They do not give samples. You can split the single scoop into two flavors though. Single Scoop w/ Ube Cone - $5 + $1 - Sticky Rice + Mango & Ube Malted Crunch - Sticky Rice was a creamy coconut base with mango swirled in. The mango was a little sour and tangy which worked well with the sweet coconut ice cream. Ube had great taro flavor and was not overly sweet. The malt crunch added nice texture but a lot of dissolved. I am not a fan of fruity bright ice cream but I did enjoy both of these. For 6 bucks, it was pretty expensive for ice cream. read more
