The sticky rice and mango was very rich, with a prominent coconut flavor and ribbons of mango throughout.

Wanderlust Creamery Green apple wasabi sorbet and yuzu cheesecake ice cream: Located on Glendale Boulevard in Atwater Village (LA), Wanderlust Creamery offers flavors inspired by locations around the world.
