I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, especially in this hot and humid weather. The heat is back and nothing better to cool down than with a lick of ice cream or a frothy milkshake.
Quints ice cream in centralwOrld started off as "Quintessential ice cream", but on account of being too long, owner and chief ice cream maker and taster Pratthana Suwatthanaphim shortened it to Quints.
A passion project born a few years ago, Quints was the sweet obsession in Pratthana's baking studio, where she hosted classes. Covid hit her business and so she started selling ice cream. But overnight, Quints became popular due to word of mouth and soon became a pop-up store outside Isetan, where there would be serpentine queues for the ice cream. One thing led to another, and now Quints has a permanent spot.
