Wanderlust Creamery

★★★★★

Incredibly good ice cream with flavors and combinations not usually found here in the US. The Ube malted crunch and Vietnamese coffee rocky road (which doesn’t have nuts, so I can actually eat it!) are my favorites of their standard flavors, and I always make sure to try some of the seasonal flavors when I’m in. The Japanese neapolitan (matcha/cherry blossom/Hokkaido milk) is a reliable standby as well.

It can take a while to get through the line, though. Every time I’ve been there, everyone in front of my wanted to try several flavors before ordering, too!

A boxy-looking storefont, possibly a former car repair shop cleaned up, with a large multi-paned glass window suspiciously shaped like a garage door. People are milling around inside, while a table stands empty in front of the building. A flat awning extends past a door, and a neon sign above the window proclaims Wanderlust Creamery with a simple ice cream cone.I’ve only been to the Venice (California) location, but they apparently have several other locations around the Los Angeles area, including a new one in Torrance.
