From gelato bars to Southern pies and Asian pastries, here’s your guide to the best local bakeries, ice cream shops, and sweet treat destinations in Memphis.
If you know me, you know I love a sweet treat. Memphis has a lot to offer when it comes to bakeries, ice cream shops and dessert spots. If you need to satisfy a sweet tooth, here’s a list of local businesses to support.
DVOUR Desserts in South Main is serving up edible masterpieces from their signature mini cheesecakes to creative brioche donuts. With rotating flavors and intricate designs, these treats are as stunning as they are delicious.
Bon appétit! As the world gears up for the Paris 2024 Olympics, we are heading to Paris by way of these Memphis bakeries and restaurants that capture the essence and taste of French cuisine.

No need to fly across the pond for an authentic afternoon tea experience. There are five team rooms to provide the ultimate afternoon tea with a southern twist.
We may have Bridgerton to thank for the increasing popularity and desire to enjoy a nice cup of tea, light sandwiches, and sweets. In addition, these locations are not restricted to afternoon teas and offer a la carte menu items and drinks.
There is nothing like cooling off with a flavorful sno-cone on one of those hot Memphis summer days we know so well. While we’re in the middle of yet another hot week, it’s a good time to check this newest spot off your list.
SnoJunt has possibly the most picturesque snow cones in the city with the mix of colors and (edible) glitter toppings. The man behind the sno-cones is Justin Lay. He opened this passion project in addition to his full-time job as a teacher and coach. Busy guy!
I live for a vanilla latte and lavender macaron, and there’s nothing quite like grabbing one from 17 Berkshire. Inspired by watching her mother sew and bake while growing up, owner Nuha Abuduhair started 17 Berkshire out of her home in 2015 before opening her own business in Overton Square the Summer of 2018. The patisserie’s bright aesthetic, with marble table tops and wainscotting on the wall, is an instagrammer’s dream.

Mempops celebrates five years of fresh fruit and cream popsicles this weekend! I remember when these guys were just one little converted mail truck, passing out popsicles in parking lots.
Now, they have three brick-and-mortar locations and a mobile fleet of carts and trucks that hang out at parks and events around town.
To say thank you, MEMPops will offer $2 pops at all their locations this weekend only. It’s grab ’n’ go only, and be sure to wear your masks and social distance.
