Globally inspired ice creams, including vegan options
"Sharing a plaza with the restaurant, it’s an easy dessert stop for scoops of mango sticky rice and pandan tres leches ice cream to keep the Thai theme going through dessert." - Kat Thompson
"Wanderlust’s schtick is ice cream inspired by countries around the world. What does that look like in your cone? Stuff like olive oil with chocolate-dipped baguette (Catalonia), Thai Tea, pretzel and rye crumbs (Iceland), and their signature purple flavor, Ube malted crunch (Philippines). The whole thing could be stupidly precious, but the ice cream itself is amazing. There are several locations around LA, and all of them rotate their flavors monthly—and by some miracle, we've yet to sample anything we didn't love." - cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins
"An ice-cream shop celebrated for imaginative flavors such as ube malted crunch and pandan tres leches across multiple SoCal locations—part of LA’s inventive frozen-dessert scene." - Eater Staff
"Back for a limited time, Wanderlust's Oolong Pineapple Cake ice cream combines the smooth and milky flavor of Taiwanese jin xuan tea with sticky pineapple jam and bits of buttery pastry. Find the seasonal flavor in all six Wanderlust stores until the end of the month." - kat hong
"For anyone not living in a 2014 Tumblr world, Wanderlust’s schtick—ice cream inspired by countries around the world—might seem a bit eyeroll-y. But what’s in the cones themselves, the actual ice cream, is truly some of the best in the city. There’s an equal amount of signature flavors, like sticky rice swirled with bright-orange mango (Thailand) and ube malted crunch (Philippines), mixed in with seasonal favorites." - arden shore, sylvio martins, brant cox
