April 24, 2026 | Pasadena | After seeing a movie nearby at iPic, my friend, and I walked over to Wanderlust Creamery! Ice cream hit the spot on a beautiful and sunny day!! Kinder | I absolutely love Kinder chocolate, so this was a plus in a rich chocolate, flavorful way! Ube Malted | I'm always up for flavorful Ube; sweet purple yams and was blended with malted milk, so delicious, loved it! Mix It Up | Yum! Since I got two scoops in a small cup, I blended them in the cup until it was nice & smooth! What an absolutely delicious combo! Inside | There are large murals on the wall in beautiful pastel colors displaying travel destinations & scenery! Also travel books and travel themed items around! The destinations that caught my eye were: Thailand & India, both which I've traveled to and loved! Customer Service | Thanks for the samples. Overall | Yes, please! Ice cream is always a great idea, especially when there are often new, unique and flavorful combinations! Let's go! read more

I can't believe they've got the Shanghainese White Rabbit flavor . All the red hearts!!!!! So creamy and amazing. The service today was kind of meh the staff was awkward... feeling more like I stopped him from chatting with the staff from pressed juice But guess what, the ice cream is way too great. No time for awkward lol The seat was nice. The environment was pretty nice for a weekday. Highly recommend the new flavor! read more

Wanderlust Creamery - New flavor of 2026 April - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pasadena, California

It's been a while since I came for their ice cream. My all time favorites are their Ube Malted crunch and Pandant Tres Leches. I did sample their monthly flavors for April including Shanghai Easter Bunny and Kyoto dark chocolate. The easter bunny was too sweet, but the dark chocolate was pretty good. However I still chose to order my all time favorites and I got the trio samples. I got to scoops of Ube malted crunch and one Tres Leches. It's $8.75 for the trio now. They give small scoops as usual. The flavors still taste very delicious but I was super disappointed that there was no malted crunch at all for my two scoops of Ube. And my partner also got one scoops of Ube malted crunch and she also had no crunch in her scoop. We both were super disappointed because the name didn't change but what happened to the crunch?? For this price with small scoops, they are cutting down ingredients too??? I hope it was just a one time thing...or else I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

Wanderlust Creamery - Ube malted crunch without the crunch anymore for some reason. very sad - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pasadena, California

I just picked up my pizza order from Prince Street Pizza in Old Town Pasadena. I saw Wanderlust Creamery right next door inside Indiana Colony Marketplace. I'm a sucker for ice cream. I had to walk through the front doors. I remember trying durian from Wanderlust at a past event. That's what I was looking for, but they didn't carry it at the time. They offer globally inspired and unique ice creams flavors such as Sticky Rice & Mango, Ube Malted Crunch, Japanese Neapolitan, Sakura Crunch, and more. I got to try a couple free samples, Inis Mor and Sakura Crunch. I will have to return to try their other intriguing flavors. I wanted to get half and half of two flavors for the one scoop, but it was not an option unfortunately. I ended up getting one single scoop of Sakura Crunch for $7.50. It is a cherry blossom ice cream with matcha & strawberry "kit kats". Very light, smooth, and floral in taste. Strawberry kit kats was a nice add-in topping. I found out they make the kit kats in house. Cool! Staff was okay. Service was quick. Portion was decent. Price was fair. Plenty of inside seating shared with the other local, independent food vendors within the marketplace. Parking can be found on the streets or at nearby parking garages. Highly recommend in giving Wanderlust a try if you haven't already. You may find your new favorite ice cream flavor right here at Wanderlust. Enjoy! read more

I went to Wanderlust Creamery Ice Cream after I had a nice dinner in a nearby restaurant. It was a cold night, but It was really fun to have ice cream. We stopped by Wanderlust Creamery shop. It is located in Old Town Pasadena. The shop has inviting and aesthetic vibes. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The shop has unique ice cream flavors like; Beurre Noisette cookie dough, ube malted crunch, mango sticky rice, Kinder, sesame cookie, Wanderlust vanilla, Japanese Neapolitan, pandan tres Leches, to mention a few.They also have seasonal flavors as well as vegan options. I ordered tasting trio with Kinder, black sesame cookies and cream, and beurre noisette cookie dough. I enjoyed the flavors I got. It was silky, creamy with perfect texture. I will be back to try more of their unique flavors. read more

There's something about wandering Old Town on a Friday night that makes dessert feel less optional and more necessary. We stopped by Wanderlust Creamery after dinner, mostly just following the foot traffic and the hum of the evening crowd. I've been to their Atwater location before, so I walked in half expecting that same wide board of rotating flavors. This Pasadena shop felt noticeably more pared down, especially for a weekend night. I went with two scoops of the Ube Malted Crunch. The ube base was smooth and creamy with that mellow, nutty sweetness that doesn't overwhelm. It wasn't overly sugary, which I appreciated after a full meal. The malted crunch pieces added texture without turning it into a jaw workout, just enough crisp contrast to keep each bite interesting. That said, the limited selection was a little surprising. Compared to Atwater, the variety here felt tight, and if you're someone who likes to sample a lot before deciding, your options might feel constrained. Service was quick and efficient. We were in and out without much waiting, even with the Friday night flow. Overall, it's still a solid dessert stop if you're already in Old Town and want something reliable. Just do not come expecting the same breadth of flavors as other locations. It helps to have a backup choice in mind before you get to the counter. read more

Wanderlust Creamery really knows what they're doing. They are getting it right! Creative, fun, delicious, and innovative flavors! The Pasadena location is inside of a tiny food market hall. The menu is on the smaller side which is great because it isn't overwhelming but there is still something for everyone. I got one scoop of the Japanese Neapolitan flavor which included a blend of matcha, hojicha and black sesame. Though I've had Asian inspired flavors before, I've never had a flavor like this one. The ice cream was incredibly smooth and creamy, and not to sweet. Will be back here for sure to try other flavors like sticky rice + mango and passionfruit cacao. read more

Wanderlust Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pasadena, California

Came here on a Saturday night while walking around trying to find some dessert to have. My group wanted to try this place and it was packed inside. Luckily, there was a kiosk where you can order what you'd like, but it was in a very weird spot off to the side. The kiosk was placed in the same area as where the regular line was set up. It also blocked an area where people can sit and enjoy their ice cream. The kiosk had their clothing merchandise say were sold out, but it allowed you to order a single, double, or triple scoop of ice cream and customize it to your liking (cone, cup, etc.). You can also wait in the regular line to get the ice cream order. I didn't order anything because I didn't see anything that I wanted and some of the flavors had items I could have a reaction to. I thought there would be some traditional flavors, but I didn't know much about this ice cream store except I overheard my friend say it's a Filipino inspired menu. There were some very unique flavors, ube, some passion fruit flavored items, some sort of tres leches, etc. There were some seating areas along the front window side (which looked like an old display window from an old clothing store). In the back had some seats as well, but we didn't go too far back. My friends enjoyed the ice cream and we all had a great time. read more

Review #914 2025-089 Ice Cream Order: Blueberry Elderflower (Scandinavian inspired ice cream: mascarpone ice cream, housemade blueberry jam, elderberry cordial) $5.00 Sakura Crunch (Japanese cherry blossom-infused ice cream, housemade strawberry + uji matcha "kit kats") & Yuzu Creamsicle (yuzu citrus sorbet swirled with milkest vegan ice cream) with Rainbow Sprinkles $8.50 I was first introduced to Wanderlust & met Owner Adrienne Borlongan 7 years ago at Yelp's Baked Alaska DIY (refer to Review #353), sampling 4 flavors: Violet Marshmallow (marshmallow creme ice cream with parma violet, candied violet pieces), Strawberry Spumoni (pistachio ice cream, freckles of Valrhona strawberry inspiration couverture), Ube Malted Crunch (malted milk, sweet purple yams, crunchy malted milk pieces), & Sticky Rice + Mango (housemade rice milk, coconut cream, alphonso mango swirls), & watching Adrienne craft a Baked Alaska with their Palo Santo Candy Cane (ice cream steeped with Palo Santo wood + fresh mint with freckles of 70% Ecuadorian dark chocolate + candy cane bits) as the base. The finished product was gorgeous as it was delish, & I've been a fan ever since! I didn't care for Venice location (refer to Review #511) due to traffic congestion & limited parking, though this Old Town Pasadena isn't that much better being in a food hall & no dedicated parking. There's metered street parking or any of the parking structures that's a short walk. I visit this spot more because it's more convenient when I'm in the area visiting my brother. Wanderlust came to fruition & inspired from Adrienne's travels, & the flavors are reflected as such. I hit the jackpot with the Blueberry Elderflower, Sakura Crunch, & Yuzu Creamsicle! My husband is Swedish so Blueberry Elderfloweer really hits the spot & reminds me of our travels to Sweden... with sweet, rich mascarpone ice cream that's perfectly balanced with blueberry jam & enhanced by the elderberry cordial that's adds depth of rich fruitiness & tartness. Sakura Crunch & Yuzu Creamsicle are Japan-inspired flavors & ordered a double. Both were absolutely delish that I can't help deciding which was best. The cherry blossom ice cream was mildly tinted with a delicate floral flavor with sweet strawberry that's offset by a creamy, bitter, rich tea taste. The yuzu citrus sorbet was sweet, tangy, & refreshing, yet so creamy for a sorbet. Prices: Single $5.00 Split Single +50¢ Tasting Trio $6.50 Double $7.50 Pint $13.00 Cone $1.00 ea. Toppings $1.00 ea. Price points are higher than your typical ice cream shops, but for their innovativeness & quality, it's almost worth it, but I can't say it's worth the 1+ hr. drive. The server was friendly & patient while I sample a few flavors before deciding on our order. I love Wanderlust Creamery most for their Asian-inspired ice cream flavors! If you're looking for creative & quality ice cream, wander over to satisfy your sweet tooth... you'll be glad you did. Highly Recommended: Blueberry Elderflower, Sakura Crunch, & Yuzu Creamsicle! read more

I liked the ube malted crunch, pandan tres leches, and black sesame. Based on pricing, the single just doesn't seem as economical as the trio so I would get a trio and share with another person. Plus, you can enjoy more flavors that way. The pandan was my favorite as it had a very subtle and distinctly sweet pandan flavor. The ube could have had more crunchies, but still good ube flavor and it makes sense why it is so popular. Service was quick, and it was empty when we came on opening day on a weekend. read more

I came here after date night with my boyfriend for dessert, and this ice cream shop did not disappoint. They have such unique flavors, and they let you sample, which is great for trying what you're interested in. We sampled both the Thai mango sticky rice and the pandan tres leches. The Thai mango sticky rice is dairy-free and made with coconut cream--it was light, delicious, and not too sweet. The pandan tres leches was nice and creamy, sweeter than the mango sticky rice, and so rich in flavor. We ended up getting both flavors to go and loved them. The service was great as well; the staff was friendly, and there are spots to sit inside. It also seemed like a nice place to hang out, with people doing homework on their laptops. Would definitely come back and recommend! read more

My friend highly recommended trying Wanderlust Creamery since they have many unique ice cream flavors. The staff was very patient and allowed us to sample multiple flavors. I got the Japanese Neopolitan (matcha, hojicha, and Hokkaido milk) and Shining Hour (milky grape ramune hwaechae). I loved the Japanese Neopolitan as this was a unique combination flavor for ice cream and you can taste all 3 flavors of matcha, hojicha, and Hokkaido milk. Had a creamy flavor to it as well and it didn't feel like one flavor overpowered the others. The Shining Hour had a strong grape flavor but not the artificial flavor. Tasted like a grape flavored fruit drink and it had bits of ramune and grape in the ice cream. 10/10 recommend! read more

I've been a long time fan of Wanderlust but came back recently with some friends from out of town. I always love trying their seasonal flavors! What I got: - Seoul Banoffee Pie (4/5) - it has a VERY strong banana flavor. The other flavors like hojicha were much less apparent, but i still really enjoyed this flavor! I would probably want to try others next time though. - Sugar Plum Dairy Fairy (5/5) - i love a good TART plum! The swirled tart plum jam was just enough with the custard ice. Definitely my favorite and i'll be sad when this one rotates out :( It's always a good time at wanderlust and I love that they have new flavors all the time so repeat customers like me continue to enjoy. read more

One of my fave ice cream spots! They've got a ton of Asian-inspired flavors and they do them really well. My partner and I got Smokey Road and Vietnamese Coffee, they paired so nicely together. I also tried the hwachae and corn latte flavors and loved both! Big shoutout to the cashier for being super patient while I sampled like 7 flavors LOL. Super friendly vibe overall. Parking's easy too; there's a lot behind Miniso that's just $1 for the first 2 hours, which is super convenient. read more

Wanderlust is such a staple now when it comes to a diverse but reliably delicious selection of ice cream that keeps you coming back for more. My go to is always the ube crunch and the pandan ice cream, which complement each other so well! The texture of the ice cream is so good because you get the creaminess of the ice cream but this lightly bready texture with also a light crunch. This location is a tad unique in that it's located in a shared space with other dessert storefronts but still amazing nonetheless! read more

I've been to this location years ago and loved it then. I went back recently and still love it! My favorite flavor is the Ube Malted Crunch and whether I have it at this location or any other ones, it still tastes amazing. They've been consistent throughout the years, I love their concept and I appreciate how creative they get every month with their seasonal menus. It's not easy coming up with new flavors all the time, and Wanderlust has been doing it so well. Sure, not every flavor is a slam dunk, but that doesn't stop them from thinking outside the box and introducing us to new flavors from around the world! read more

Wanderlust Creamery - Japanese Neapolitan and Ube Malted Crunch underneath - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is a very tiny ice cream stand inside a mini food hall so it's very easy to miss! Parking can be difficult since they don't have their own parking lot but there are nearby parking structures. Service was friendly and welcoming. Menu has a good variety of unique flavors, particularly Asian flavors like Black Sesame and Pandan!! Pricing is a bit pricey.. Single is $7 BUT they offer a TASTING TRIO for $7.75, which is 3 half scoops of any flavor if you are indecisive like me! Love how they offer samples if you want to try before ordering! They charge $1.50 for cone/bowl, $1.00 for toppings, and prepacked is $13. The Japanese Neopolitan was so delicious and creamy. The matcha tasted subtle and the notes of Sakura and Hokkaido were very nice without being too overly sweet. This was 8/10 The Ube Malted Crunch was so good! The ube didn't taste artificial and the bits of malted crunch was a nice touch! Not too sweet and super creamy! This was 10/10 The Sticky Rice and Mango was very tasty! The mango tasted very fresh and I really enjoyed the coconut cream inside! This was definitely one of my favorites! This was 10/10 Would definitely return and recommend! read more

Wanderlust Creamery - Tasting Trio - Ube Malted Crunch, Sticky Rice Mango, Japanese Neopolitan ($7.75) was so good - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pasadena, California

A pretty decent ice cream shop in the center of Oldtown Pasadena. The flavor I got was reminiscent of an Asian snicker bar with traces of chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and nougat throughout. I don't know if I'd get it again but it definitely made me curious what other flavors rotate through. The shop was clean, the clerk was friendly if a bit rushing to get to the next customer. But overall it's a good place for ice cream if you're already in that neck of the woods. read more

Wanderlust oh wanderlust why are u so yummy food: ice cream flavors are inspired from countries all over the world! mostly asian inspired flavors, but so delish. on the pricier side + pandan rafaello with ube cone ($9): ice cream is perfecttto texture! but pandan flavor not too strong, more of a pronounced coconut flavor. ube cone delish, but wish there was more ube flavor that comes out. service: workers are very efficient with the samples, but wished they at least gave a lil smile or a how are you to the customers. understand it's a fast paced ordering system, but would love a bit of customer service even if it's super slow. ambiance: i LOVEEE the decor of this place and it is sooo cute and retro! bathroom: i believe there is one that is all the way back of the businesses that are shared location: inside a quaint little store with other businesses parking: street parking or walking distance from any of the parking structures that are in the old town pasadena read more

Tried wanderlust for the first time and I loved the many unique flavors available and glad sampling was allowed. It's a cute little stand inside a shared unit with 2 or 3 other businesses. I didn't catch her name, but the girl working there was nice and provided suggestions for me. I went with the black sesame Oreo at the end, love me a good black sesame ice cream.

Quality has gotten down over the years since they've expanded locations. Hence the update from 5 to 4 stars. I've ordered pints multiple times and have had issues each time, consecutively. 1) Americas Homeland not filled all the way 2) Ube malted crunch not having any malt bits 3) Japanese neopolitan having barely any matcha The flavors are still good and workers are helpful with samples if (as long as the line isn't too long) but the menu is limited to single, split single and tasting trio. They no longer have a double scoop option. read more

Always a five star experience wherever you go to wanderlust. My usual location is Atwater but you go to any location and the service/quality are always on point. Still on watch for the FOOD FOR THE GODS but the CHRISTMAS COOKIE was a delicious vanilla creamy sweet flavor. This is in a hustle and bustle kinda area. It shares space with other places. It's like a mini food court in a way. Pasadena always offers a fun experience. read more

If you want premium ice cream and are looking for rare flavors, look no further. Wanderlust has so many strange, inviting flavors that are just a party in your mouth. If I am not mistaken, they invest a lot into researching and developing previously unimagined flavors every month.

Trust me on this...good ice cream makes all the difference in elevating your energy. Wanderlust is the key to world peace. read more

Went to Wanderlust in Pasadena. They don't make vegan pandan green cones anymore. They also had zero vegan scoop flavors in the case and zero vegan pints available on the day I went. How can an ice cream place have zero vegan flavors available to sell when they clearly advertise vegan flavors on their site?! read more

Wanderlust is always my go-to after eating dinner somewhere in Old Town. I really like all of the different types of flavors that they have. A few of my favorites are: Japanese Neapolitan, Kinder, Vietnamese Rocky Road, and a classic is the Ube Malted Crunch. Even though the line is usually out the door the service is always quick. I also like that you can make your own pint or they have pre-made ones as well. They usually alternate seasonal flavors every month which I also enjoy. Definitely recommend if you're wanting to try some unique or Asian inspired flavored ice cream! read more

I pray to the ice cream gods every night for Wanderlust to open a location in the Bay Area LOL My love for their ice cream shocks me because I'm not a huge ice cream girlie. But something about the consistency and obviously the flavors, just gets me every time!! There is no other way to enjoy wanderlust than to get the trio sampler scoops. Though their everyday flavors are delicious, I always try to get their seasonal flavors because they are limited-time only! Everything that I've had is delicious, but right now, my favorite has to be the Christmas cookies. In the past, I've loved their collab with Jasmine Pak (I think it was a peachy flavor), anything with saffron, all the seasonal items for AAPI month, and one you can't skip is the everyday: Japanese Neapolitan. This location specifically has been busy most times, but this last time we went (Friday after Thanksgiving), it was pretty empty. The staff is always so nice and offers samples every time. The only thing lacking is a place to sit. There are some stools by the windows but other than that, if it's packed, we usually walk around with our ice cream or we look for a seat near the shops. Parking can be a challenge so make a day out of it. Go eat, go shop and end your adventures with a treat from Wanderlust! read more

The hot summer days are here! I stopped by not that long ago to Wanderlust with my mom and BF on a Friday night! I opted to go here becuase of the unique ice cream flavors. I shared the passion fruit ice cream with my mom and I have to say that OMG it's top for me! It's really hard to find ice cream parlors that have passion fruit flavor. The one that they make at Wanderlust is packed with flavor and you can definitely taste the fresh fruit in it. The best thing is that it's not sweet! I will be having this again. I'm hoping that this flavor stays and that it isn't seasonal. I forgot to ask. The service here is great! read more

I love the creative flavors here, a lot of which are Asian inspired. I went here closer to closing time on Wednesday and it was still fairly busy. I thought choosing the location furthest from LA-proper would be easiest with parking, but I found parking here to be one of the hardest as a lot of Pasadena streets block off for outdoor dining and valet and you'll be left with very limited street parking but plenty of more expensive parking garages. We got two trios (3 half scoops) because there were so many flavors to choose from, and we even sampled a good fraction of the flavors before committing to 6. We ended up getting thai tea with boba, sticky rice + mango, black sesame, pistachio puro, Vietnamese rocky road, and Japanese neapolitan. I love the thai tea with boba a lot, as well as the pistachio and Japanese neapolitan, but it is hard to tell which one is the "best" since it really depends what you like. Prices were fair as 3 half scoops were $7.75 inclusive of tax, and I can think of plenty of places that would charge more for similar. read more

#16 for 2024 It was a late warm evening when we strolled in looking for something to satisfy the tongue after a carnivorous dinner. Cheesecake Factory was close by but that's like been there, done that. Wanted something new. Stepping in Wanderlust Creamery is at the front of the venue. Other businesses go further back into a nice vibe with a few tables you could sit down to enjoy your creamery, and coffee if you wanted to give that particular vendor a try. But I digress. This is about Wanderlust creating flavors unheard of using natural ingredients that sound so exotic it piques your ear of curiosity. Their signature flavors are Ube Malted Crunch and Passionfruit Cacao. The Ube was out. We tried several flavors and settled on three in a cup. I took Vietnamese Rocky Road. Inspired by the coffee stops on the HảI vân pass from đà nang to huế gong through a windy road taking you through tropic green mountains to sea blue mist panoramic views. A journey worth traveling. Really loved this blend of Vietnamese coffee, sweetened condense milk, marshmallow, crunchy caramelized cacao nibs and french roast bits. I need to get a pint of this next time. And I'm not sharing. Oh the pandan tres leche was good too. And, I do love the fruity flavors. I'm assuming the base is the vanilla ice cream then mixing in the flavors that will dominate. Pandan sponge cake and ribbons of condensed milk is a nice twist to an Asian inspired tres leche. I'll take a pint of this too. I wasn't impressed with the Japanese neopolitan. trio of matcha, sakura (Japanese cherry blossom), and Hokkaido milk ice creams. Hey 2 out 3 ain't bad. All that came to $7.68. Not bad. You could get 3 pints for $10.00 New flavors are rotated every month. You can find flavors like Sticky Rice & Mango, Abuelita Malted Crunch, Wanderlust Vanilla, Thai Tea & Boba, Smoky Road, Hokey Pokey, Chè Thái, Noyaux & Plum Jam, Malaysian White Coffee, Amalfi Pear Torte, Subak Hwachae and Subak Hwachae to name a few. Check out their website to get the full descriptions and you might find yourself wonderfully traveling through Southeast Asia. Also, see where their locations are and new locations that will be popping up in the next few months. They just released a book "The World of Ice Cream" sharing their love and recipes of their ice cream. You don't find many businesses sharing their secrets. It's probably because those ingredients, especially for us here in the states, is going to be hard pressed to get at an economic price to afford the adventure of making these delicious treats. We can try substituting. This was definitely a delicious way to adventure through ice cream. And you can bet I'll be back for more. read more

Great flavors, quick service! Inside a building shared with other businesses, Wanderlust Creamery is the first thing you see when you walk in. There is limited seating inside but it felt cramped so we left to enjoy our ice cream. I really liked the array of hand scooped options here, very unique and reminiscent of Ben and Jerry's crazy combinations. All the flavors were clearly labeled with their ingredients, perfect for those like me with allergies. They offer free samples as well, but the line was inconveniently located right at the door-- I felt like we had to hurry because there was a bottleneck at the exit. Overall, happy with the selection and I went with Kinder flavor. Not too overpowering but perfect to satisfy my sweet tooth! -1 star for it being EXTREMELY hot inside. Whoever is cranking up that heater needs to chill! It's cold outside but it's no reason for it to be sweltering! read more
