The sweet hum of a Vermont afternoon perfectly complements a scoop of their housemade gelato, enjoyed right there on the sunny St Paul Street sidewalk. It feels like stepping back to a simpler time, savoring each creamy bite as old-fashioned charm warms the Burlington air. Shy Guy Gelato offers a little piece of dessert heaven, a true hometown treat calling you back for more.

    Loved that we could get 3 flavors even in a small cup. So the two of us split two smalls, and were able to try all 6 flavors they had. They all blew me away, except the peanut butter cup which I merely thought was good. The dark chocolate sorbet was ridiculously good and dark chocolatey, we were shocked it was a sorbet. Greek yogurt crunch was maybe my next favorite, but really, they were all excellent. The place is tiny but there's outdoor seating

    You can’t beat Shy Guy, not just because it’s the best ice cream in VT. but also because the owner and everyone who works there is so kind of truly always in the best mood. I love visiting. A few weeks ago I went in to buy a pint and couldn’t decide between two flavors...so they gave me one for free so I could have both! I mean come on...truly the kindest people. We love you Shy Guy!
