Quokka Sweets is a chef-driven dessert studio in Buffalo, NY, creating small-batch ice cream, composed desserts, and petite sweets.

Seasonal produce, local ingredients, travel, cookbooks, and the people and places behind food continually shape Quokka’s evolving menu. Working in small batches allows us to follow the seasons, source thoughtfully, and give each dessert the attention it deserves. Quokka also creates dessert-focused pop-ups and collaborates with local restaurants, makers, and food businesses to create unique, one-of-a-kind experiences.

We believe the best desserts balance comfort and curiosity—a familiar flavor presented in an unexpected way, a beautiful dessert that still tastes like the ingredient it was built around, or a seemingly unusual pairing that excites the palate.

Meet Jenn

Founded by pastry chef Jenn Batt, Quokka Sweets is the culmination of more than two decades spent in professional pastry kitchens throughout Buffalo and New York City, shaped by her training at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park and a continual curiosity for new ways to create. Quokka Sweets approaches dessert with a focus on craftsmanship, seasonality, and unexpected flavor.

Her culinary perspective has been influenced by travel—the flavors, ingredients, markets, and food traditions discovered along the way—as well as seasonal produce, regional ingredients, cookbooks, and the people behind the food. These experiences continue to inspire new combinations and fresh ways of looking at familiar desserts.

Everything is made from scratch in small batches, allowing each dessert to be developed with intention, from the first ingredient to the very last bite.
