    Drove all the way here from Elk Grove to meet with a friend for some caffeine and dessert! We came right when they opened but wow it smelled amazing the moment we walked in! You can get your caffeine fix from their coffee/tea menu, purchase packaged chocolates (makes for a nice gift!), freshly baked cookies and cupcakes, or choose from the wide variety of gelato. I had to try the gelato latte - the matcha with passionfruit was listed as a drink this month so it intrigued me! They serve it with a tiny spoon, giving you an ice cream float feel. I actually preferred it better before I fully mixed in the gelato with the drink. The passionfruit flavor was definitely the most prominent over the matcha flavor but it was a nice little treat. Not sure I'd spend $10 for it, but maybe I'd just go with a different flavor instead. I saw they had ube gelato and that would be amazing in a latte! The cookies were also a must. All five of the flavors sounded great so that's exactly what I ordered. They are larger cookies, and only $5 this month! My favorite was the cornflake marshmallow which is what I was most excited about, so it didn't disappoint. The salty crunch is perfect against the gooey marshmallow texture. My next favorite was actually the brown butter chocolate chip - can't go wrong with a classic. The Oreo mint chip and Biscoff cheesecake were too sweet for me. The lemon meringue was nice and the meringue center was so unique, but I couldn't eat it all at once, and the lemon flavor overpowered everything in the box. The place itself is cute, only room for a couple tables inside but there is some outside seating. If I was a local I'd definitely frequent for their rotating cookies and the gelato!

    Stopped here because there are Tesla chargers right by here. So glad I found it! Delicious treats! The Dubai chocolate was really great and worth getting again.

    Cute little bakery with friendly staff! We ordered quite a few things: Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie: these were so good; the filling was the best part. Brown butter chocolate chip cookies: we honestly didn't care for these too much, the cookie was very cakey instead of chewy. Lemon blueberry doughnut: the doughnut had a really good texture and taste, but my husband thought that it didn't have enough blueberry flavor. Black Cocoa Mousse Cupcake: Good, but not great. Really dense and the frosting was kind of really solid. They also had a lot of chocolates for sale! My husband loved the honeycomb milk chocolate and we bought an espresso chocolate that we haven't tried yet. Overall, this is a good bakery and a must stop if you're ever in Placerville! The only thing is that we felt like the prices were a little steep. $8 for the strawberry cheesecake cookie, and I think the espresso chocolate was $5 and it was about the size of half of a Kit Kat 2 piece.

    Donut & Gelato

    Tucked in a shopping center between Starbucks and McDonald's. Targeted Shorty's for two things. A donut (butter salt) and gelato (chocolate mint)! Although we arrived around sometime noon, the donut tasted great and moist. Not dry at all. My date had the gelato, and she claims it was absolutely delicious. Welcoming vibe from the staff member that assisted us. Outdoor seating are available.

    FOOD - Gelato: I picked the spumoni (dark chocolate, cherry, and pistachio) which was good. 4.5/5 - Caramel Carrot Cupcake: so good and moist! 5/5 SERVICE: Fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I enjoyed everything I tried. Other than gelato they also have cookies, chocolates, toffee, cupcakes, donuts, and more. Slightly overpriced for some items.

    The place smelled great when we walked in. Everyone was nice and greeted us. We got a piece of cake ($10.00) which we took home. It was ok, kinda dry and fell apart. The container had an 8 on it. We bought it on the 13th. Maybe a little old if that's the date it was made. We also got a Cinnamon roll ($7.50) and that could have been fresher. We went before noon. We would try it again

    Worth the Drive - A Must-Visit Bakery! I spotted Shorty's Bakery on Instagram, and everything looked too delicious to pass up, so I made the drive from Sacramento. It was the perfect stop on my way up to Apple Hill! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was top-notch - everyone greeted me warmly, which made the experience even better. Of course, I had to try their viral Dubai Dark Chocolate cookie, and it did not disappoint! Rich, decadent, and absolutely worth the hype. I'll definitely be back to try more treats. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this gem!

    Great treats but very pricey. The Dubai chocolate heart was great but I don't know if I'd pay the price again.

    Cupcake assortment

    Ordered cupcakes for my wedding! Was able to get a wide variety! Received nothing but rave reviews from all the guests!

    Best doughnut shop in the El Dorado county period!!! I discovered Shorty's when they used to be at Hidden Star. Tried their salt and butter doughnut and fell inlove immediately!! I'm happy they now reopen and have a new location that is super cute!! The service stays the same - friendly as ever! If you're ever I. The area make sure to visit them!

    The ladies here are very nice. Lots of goodies here. Gelato is good. Store looks clean. They sell these cute little earrings here. We got Ube and Cookie Monster gelato. My little one loved it. I had a few bites of each and it's good. I wanted to try the macaroon. But my little one pushed me away from it. Macaroon will have to wait till next time.

    Rich hot chocolate with homemade toasted marshmallow! Yumm!

    You must come try it! We love the rich hot chocolate with toasted homemade marshmallow. Delish!

We're often here for spontaneous get together with friends and definitely each time is memorable for us. It's definitely a great place for conversation whether sitting indoors or outside. I love this place. No matter how many ice cream shops we try anywhere we go but we always end up coming back here. You know we're loyal to this place. It's not only the flavors, the vibe, customer service and most importantly it's not expensive. I will secretly say, it's the amazing gelato. And my kids love sampling their flavors each time.

We noticed the mango and they said the mango paired well with their sticky rice. I had to pause. Sticky rice gelato?? I was definitely sold! So obviously we had to get the mango sorbet and sticky rice. We also got the mango and lemon meringue. Each cup came with a mini cone or a wafer and we picked a cone. The sticky rice and mango sorbet were like heaven. Literally heaven. I'm never in Folsom but I will need to come back for this flavor. The idea of making sticky rice into gelato was genius but then combining with mango was just next level. I will be dreaming of this flavor. We were enjoying it so much I never got to take pictures. That's when I know something is good. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. They were lots of regulars coming in and out. The store is also adorably decorated and clean. There's a good amount of seating inside. Again if we lived near by we would be here all the time!

    I love Miabella Gelato…read more It's the perfect combination of the deep flavors that are found in gelato, along with the perfection found in ice cream. Miabella is located in the Fountains shopping center in Roseville. The line is to be expected, and moves fairly quickly. Samples are given, and deciding between seasonal flavors, and their classics. It's all so delicious. There is a small amount of seating inside, and during the warmer months, there's seating all around in the outside shopping center. It's truly lovely. Tonight's gelato experience was mango, raspberry, cookies and cream, and chocolate. The mango isn't my favorite, but if you love mango, you'll really like this. The raspberry is unbelievable. It's fresh, tart, sweet, and oh so delicious!!! The cookies and cream is not a go to for me, and THIS changed my mind. It's creamy, luscious, and just perfect. The chocolate while it's might be "just chocolate", it's dreamy. It's not too dark, not too milky, it's the chocolate that we all want. The staff is super friendly, and they make you feel like this should be your go to dessert shop, and it should!
