When looking for a location we knew gelato would be a staple on our menu so we partnered with Almare Gelato to bring you the creamiest, most luscious gelato flavors that will transport you to Italy. We offer 18 different flavors that rotate seasonally including vegan options like our vegan chocolate gelato and sorbets. We have just added an espresso machine so you can indulge in affogato and specialty coffees.

Shorty's Gelato and Bakery is not just a business; it's a family affair. Owned by Morgan Hunter, with her mother Linda and daughter Lillie, our shop is infused with love, warmth, and a deep-rooted passion. We believe every bite should be an experience, and we pour our hearts into every creation that leaves our kitchen.
