Shorty's Ice Cream Parlour

This restaurant offers delicious and affordable ice cream, perfect for enjoying after a hike at Ballater Pass. Five stars.

I love this place, always too many flavours to choose from! The staff are friendly and helpful. Loved chatting to them about the different flavours. I wasn't so keen on their Banarama (vegan) ice cream, but worth a try for something different.

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.

I came across Shortys advent calendars on Facebook and decided to order one for myself and one for my sister. The packages arrived well wrapped and the scent of fudge is delightful. Each day's treat has been incredibly tasty. The only downside is trying to resist eating all of them at once.

This was one of the places we wanted to visit in Ballater. The queues when we arrived wee testament to the product. The scoops were massive and the quality excellent. I would say the price was fair for the size of the portion
