I've been going for years and the quality, taste, presentation, service and options are all still great! Whenever I am in the Bartlett area I want to stop in. My favorite and only thing I purchase is the ice cream and slush mixed. My top flavors are starburst, watermelon, tiger's blood, and cotton candy. One day, I am going to try the other desserts. read more

My friend and I went back to Quintessential Sweets to celebrate my birthday. It was a little busy when we walked in, but it was worth just to look around. It was amazing to look at all the desserts that were on display. I ordered the Strawberry Shortcake Funnel cake and cherry flavor snow. My friend ordered the cookies and cream funnel and a snow as well. The strawberry shortcake funnel cake was so soft and delicious to eat. The Cherry Snow was a good pairing for the funnel cake. read more

This place is right next door to a pickleball location, so it was a great refresher after time on the court. The building is tiny, so there aren't many seats available inside. However, they do have some tables outside if you'd like to have a less tight atmosphere while trying to dine in. The ice cream is in the back, while the shaved ice is displayed out front, along with plenty of other sweet treats to try. I had the peaches and watermelon shaved ice, and it was pretty good. Oh, and they have some alcohol-mixed shaved ice as well for the adults who want to take a walk on the wild side, lol. read more

I love the dessert variety here. Their funnel cake & strawberry shortcake caramel apple are my faves!! The BEST things going.

This is definitely the perfect place for a good dessert run! read more

The inside is sooo sweetly scented from funnel cakes, chocolate covered strawberries and sugary treats. There's a little bit of this & that for all ages! Oreo cheesecake was a bit dry.

I know the cheesecake is probably from the cheesecake man in town. It's so good. I got the strawberry crumble and another person in our party got the turtle funnel cake. He ate almost the whole thing. I also got a pecan claw in chocolate and it was very good. I saw many flavors of liquor flavorings of snow. Just have your id and of age. read more

This place is every kid's dream! They have every imaginable sweet treat, from funnel cakes to candy apples to snickers coated in extra chocolate. Their speciality is "snow," which is like a super soft snow cone. There are also options for "adult snow," including flavors like strawberry Hennessy and Crown Royal peach. We got a funnel cake and the fried Oreos, which were made fresh to order. I recommend the strawberry crumble funnel cake because the fresh strawberries really set it off! This place is cute and can satisfy any sweet tooth. read more

I would not recommend. They still have their location in downtown off of Main st listed on their website despite it being closed. It's listed on Apple Maps as open as well (which I have reported). I emailed them almost a week ago and have heard nothing back. It says a lot to me that a business doesn't update their website to reflect current locations and doesn't check their email to respond. read more

Phenomenal service and great tasting, FRESH food. The shop was really cute too. They have so much to offer. From freshly made ice cream, to all the fried confections, to dipped apples and strawberries. It's all amazing. The two ladies there tonight were super sweet and cared about each order. It was a busy one tonight! Prices were on point if not lower than I expected. Keep it up!! read more

Just thought we would check this place out and I must say I am so happy we did.We we're greeted friendly which is rare these days.My husband created his own and he got the Birthday Cheesecake which looked delicious. I couldn't resist The Strawberry Funnel Cake Yummy! It was so delicious I sang "Get in my Belly"!! I know what you're thinking...who sings to their food? Ahhhh..this girl I can't wait to return or try their other location near downtown Memphis.

My husband loves this place for their funnel cakes! We can never seem to make it here in the light of day. Whenever we go it's like 15-30 minutes near closing time and guess what!?!? Each time we're met with smiling faces and amazing service....if you live in this current world of customer service you know that's nothing short of AMAZING. Outside of excellent service they're killing the funnel cake scene HANDS DOWN! Their funnel cake is ALWAYS light, fluffy and hot with the perfect balance if crispness. I usually don't get a funnel cake the size of them are so huge...I usually just share some of the hubs (I'm sure he doesn't like it, oh well, lol.) Last night tho I needed my own! And boy did I get one! I'm so extra when I have dessert cravings. So, I got the turtle funnel cake and add fresh cut strawberries, waffle pieces and soft serve ice cream! Y'all when I say it was EVERYTHING!!! I MEAN IT! First of all the ladies of Q-Sweets kindly adhered to all my additional topping request with a smile and presented me with the most beautifully appealing funnel cake that met all of my demands exceptionally...even with ice cream on top my funnel cake was still soft, hot and crispy...HOW SWAY!?!? Q-SWEETS my husband and I are LIFERS....Thank you so much!! read more

My husband and I were craving something sweet one evening, but we didn't want ice cream. Thanks to Yelp we decided to try Quintessential Sweets. I got the turtle funnel cake, and my husband got a piece of pecan pie cheesecake. The serving sizes were big, so we had left overs of both for another night. They were both so delicious! My husband is not even a fan of funnel cakes, and he really liked what I had ordered. They had lots of other yummy treats that we will have to go back and try. We both liked the fact they were open later too. We will be back for sure! read more

Very rare find in Memphis. The Italian ice was amazing. They have a great selection of flavors. The mango and watermelon flavors were outstanding. As an added bonus, you can make anything alcoholic. Furthermore, that have a good selection of other desserts including fried goodies like fried oreos. I cannot wait to come back and try other desserts. Please go support this outstanding local business! Currently, they are doing some renovations so there is no space to sit inside but there are some tables outside. read more

Great service and desserts. I got drunk (in Bartlett so I was in the danger zone) and wanted a funnel cake and I got one. I had the strawberry cheesecake funnel cake and I enjoyed it. Also, the older dude behind the counter kept calling the other dude 'little dude' every time he walked by. Hilarious. So come for the funnel cake, stay for the comedy. LOL! read more

First time and it was clear that this was a very hot spot. We got a few snow ice and a regular funnel cake but there is soooo much to choose from. Worth the trip back. read more

When I walked in it smelled bad like old, burned dirty frying grease and I thought if I just got a chocolate apple it might be okay but I swear somehow the chocolate tasted like dirty grease too like the odor from the restaurant absorbed into it. Such a shame because I used to go here and get ice cream all the time before the pandemic but when I went back again recently, it just was not clean and not good. Nice people and friendly, but the odor of the place and absorbing into the foods is just a no for me. Very unappetizing. read more
