Cute shop, friendly staff and delicious flavours. They are known for their white chocolate flavour. I tried the Raffaello's and it is very tasteful, with that touch of coconut.

Great range of flavours with some interesting options. I had an amazing dairy-free chocolate ice cream that tasted like chocolate brownies! Their sorbets are also really nice and light.
We stopped by on the way home from a bike ride. The ice creams were delicious and they had a great selection for vegan friendly icecream which was great for me as I have a dairy allergy and don’t usually get to have an icecream other than a vegan magnum. Lovely wee shop and we would go back if in the area again.
Arrived in Ballater at the start of a holiday (staying in Dinnet) on a glorious sunny day. Having just bought provisions from nearby H.M. Sheridan butchers, it would have been rude not to taste the local ice creams.
Wow - the waffle cones are huge, crisp and yummy alone but the massive scoop of vanilla was to die for. My partner had mint chop chip, which was as equally big and scrumptious.
Can't recommend high enough.
Outstanding ice cream, outstanding service.
My son has a dairy allergy and the staff went out of the way to make sure no cross contamination occurred, not often you see this level of care, especially when busy (and it is greatly appreciated!!)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A lovely wee ice cream shop in Ballater. Friendly, helpful staff who are happy to give recommendations. Lots of flavours available and the ice cream is all homemade. Dairy free and vegan options available too. I even managed to get my dog a wee scoop which they topped with a dog biscuit too.
The best Ice Cream in Scotland. A variety of classic and original flavours, also offering other delicious options. Very thoughtful and caring when dealing with a customer with a nut allergy. Please visit, then you'll understand why I keep returning, even on a rainy day!
The two young ladies behind the counter were very polite, helpful and good fun. Loved the ice cream I had the gingernut flavour.
Delicious ice cream and huge scoops! Wish we had discovered it earlier in our holiday

We had a strawberry sundae and 2 scoops chocolate absolutely fantastic i would rate it as nearly the best ice cream in Scotland 5 star review staff very freindly & polite, prices very reasonable, we loved the dog waiting outside for her icecream 😂😂😂
Excellent Ice-cream. Loads of flavours to choose. Just fabulous! Yummy yum yum! 😎 👍
Shorty’s is a rare jewel in the crown of Royal Deeside. The owner is one of the nicest people and has such amazing creativity and flair.
She recently made a bespoke ice cream cake for my daughters 8th birthday which was truly amazing. The detail was perfect and the flavours where to die for.
We are so lucky to have this wonderful business in the heart of the Cairngorms!
super ice cream and amazing staff . so many flavours to choose .
Still the BEST ice cream I've ever tasted. Been all around the world and have yet to find anywhere that can compete with Cheryl's ice creams. No where can touch it. I'm an ice cream fanatic and have a good pallet for flavour. It's going to cost me a fortune in travel once I move. It's the best. Just about to tuck in to some chocolate nero (vegan friendly) It's to die for and I NEVER eat chocolate ice cream EVER! Also the Ballater creme which is heaven😍 A real asset to Ballater and anyone who supplies Shorty's. Keep going Cheryl. xx
Yum! But they close at night so don't wait for dessert.
Took my nephew and niece here. We were all very happy with our ice cream choices. We would certainly come back when next in town.
Best ice cream parlour going, always delicious!
Delicious ice cream and kind staff.
