Wanderlust Creamery scoops globally inspired ice cream

Wanderlust Creamery on Glendale Boulevard has built a real following in Atwater Village, and the 4.6 stars across nearly 900 reviews tells you this is not a fluke. The concept is ice cream flavors drawn from cuisines and ingredients around the world, which sounds like a gimmick until you actually go and realize the execution is what keeps people coming back.

There are vegan options in the regular rotation, not as an afterthought. Prices land in the middle range for a specialty scoop shop, which feels fair given the quality. It works well for groups, and you can also get delivery if you are staying in.

This is the kind of neighborhood spot that earns its reputation slowly and honestly. If you have not been, it is worth the stop.
