Current Cravings: Shandi’s Brings Sweet Creations to Downtown Quincy
From towering ice cream creations loaded with brownies, cupcakes and Drumsticks to seasonal shakes and lemon shake-ups, Shandi’s has quickly become one of downtown Quincy’s sweetest stops.
QUINCY, Ill. If your sweet tooth has been asking for something a little more ambitious than a simple scoop of ice cream, downtown Quincy has an answer.
Shandi’s, located at 104 N. Sixth Street, has built a growing following with colorful, oversized dessert creations that are difficult to scroll past and even harder to resist.
The business began in 2023 as a mobile dessert trailer before expanding into its downtown storefront in August 2025. Since then, owner Shandi Long has continued building the shop’s presence with an ever-changing assortment of desserts and drinks.
The menu extends well beyond traditional ice cream. Shandi’s offers sundaes, seasonal extreme shakes, coffee, flavored hot cocoa and lemon shake-ups, giving customers plenty of reasons to stop in throughout the year.
But it is the shop’s over-the-top ice cream creations that have generated some of the biggest attention on social media.
These are not your ordinary sundaes.
Some of Shandi’s most eye-catching creations pile sweet treats on top of sweet treats, incorporating everything from cupcakes and brownies to Drumstick ice cream cones and other confections into towering desserts designed for anyone prepared to take their sweet tooth seriously.
The result is part dessert and part spectacle, with creations that look almost as fun to photograph as they are to eat.
With new treats and seasonal creations regularly appearing, there is often something different waiting for the next visit.
And right now, those monstrous ice cream creations are exactly what Quincy Current is craving.
