"With seven locations across Southern California, Wanderlust is the place to go for unique and seasonal flavors like ube malted crunch, pandan tres leches, and Japanese Neapolitan with matcha, sakura, and Hokkaido milk." - Eater Staff
"This small SoCal chain just opened a new outpost among other L.A. favorites (including the iconic Tail O’ the Pup) at Westfield Topanga’s new food court. As the name suggests, the menu takes you on a vicarious tour of the world with its flavors, from a Kinder egg–inspired hazelnut and milk chocolate mix to Vietnamese Rocky Road, a French Honey Lavender, and Ube Malted Cruch—inspired by chef Adrienne Borlongan’s American Filipino upbringing. Wanderlust Creamery is also in Venice and ship pints nationwide." - Alina Polishuk
"The new street-taco star that began cooking in late November 2018 in Hollywood found a relatively comfortable spot along Western Avenue in Koreatown before circumstances forced it to close, and now partners Victor Delgado and Jorge “Joy” Alvarez-Tostado have announced two new locations. I’m impressed by the stand’s focus on quality Tijuana-style carne asada, adobada, and other grilled-meat tacos — enough that an LA Times critic, Bill Addison, even gave the place a glowing review — and the team plans to bring that energy to Venice (outside Wanderlust Creamery) and to a prominent Beverly Boulevard spot at Full Service Coffee. The Venice operation launches as a pop-up running 7 p.m. to midnight (with hopes of eventually operating nightly along Lincoln Boulevard), Tacos 1986 will continue to cook at Smorgasburg every Sunday, and the Beverly Boulevard site will start as a Friday–Saturday operation with 7 p.m. to midnight hours and the aim of becoming permanent and serving northern Koreatown and the greater Eastside nightly." - Matthew Kang
"Halo Top’s Santa Monica spot should give it prime placement in the recent ice cream wars, which brought in homegrown creameries Wanderlust." - Matthew Kang
"I saw that dessert shop Wanderlust Creamery has already taken over the former Juice Served Here in Venice." - Farley Elliott
