How can one sum up Chill?? Addictive. Exciting. Sublimely Delicious. Satisfying. Innovative. Wholesome. Made with Care & Heart. Quality. A major feature of downtown Montpelier. And - so damn good that you actually think about it random times a day/night .... and even your child will pipe up begging to go seemingly out of the blue. (I suppose that brings us back to the "Addictive" aspect, yeah?? Lol) A visit to Chill is the best ending to a Saturday spent at the Farmer's Market. Even standing in that loooonnggg line is enjoyable; everyone in line is busy figuring out & talking about what flavor they are about to get. Forms a mini, temporary, very happy & positive community. Team Chill! And, naturally -- Mintpelier & Salted Caramel. 'Nuff said right there! read more

Such incredible gelato made in the store! They offer unique flavors. We tried the a cherry flavor and rocky road. Both were great. I appreciate that they're creamy and packed with flavor but not sickly sweet. Very friendly owner too!!! read more

Chill Gelato - Cherry and rocky road - Gelato Near Me - Montpelier, Vermont

We checked out a hill for the first time this weekend and it was delicious! Very kind and helpful staff, we went right before closing so I can't say how many flavors are out, but there was definitely: coconut, espresso, tiramisu, vanilla, and believe it or not: beet gelato. Evidently, the masses love that one! Will definitely go back for more this summer! read more

Definitely a hidden gem. I was vacationing in Vermont and accidentally came across this gelato place. I didn't have high hope because a lot of ice cream places are average but Chill is a pleasant surprise. I love rose flavor. It has a subtle rose aroma. It felt like eating a sweet rose. So summer and so fresh. For the three days I stayed in Vermont, I made a trip everyday to Montpelier just to have gelato in Chill. Other than rose, I love orange chocolate, mango and rice. read more

Chill Gelato - Pistacio gelato in a cake cone - Gelato Near Me - Montpelier, Vermont

Oh my goodness! So good! Cute little, like 3 chairs little but so yummy gelato shop. We happened to stop in while visiting family in Montpelier after going out for lunch. The young lady scooping was delightful as she worked hard scooping, what seems to be very challenging, but smiled and was lovely all while doing a few things at once. We got a cone and a pint to bring home. It's a little expensive, $8 for a pint and I was skeptical at first but it was worth it! Come to Burlington! We had the strawberry and coconut. Amazing! Can't wait to go back. read more

Chill Gelato - different flavors of ice cream - Gelato Near Me - Montpelier, Vermont

This was my first time visiting Vermont and out of the two people I was with only one knew the area. We walked around Montpelier and after getting some board games and books we came across this place. I love gelato and so does my mother. So we decided to try it out as we hadn't gotten a chance to have anything sweet in the last couple days. We walked in and it was small but had a very comfortable vibe. As we ordered what we wanted "Beautiful Ghosts" started playing by Taylor Swift. Mom asked what the song was and who sang it and I started talking to her about it and the woman who was working there joins in on the conversation asking if I like her music and saying that she hasn't seen the movie and overall being very friendly and was interesting to talk to. She then went on about how she played board games and my brother and I are very into the ones she had listed so we had a nice conversation about them. The gelato was good and the customer service was amazing. I'd come back here if I didn't live so far away! read more

A wonderful little gem in Montpelier! The staff is very friendly, the treats are delicious, and it seems to be very popular! I loved the cherry Garcia and the salted caramel was excellent! We'll certainly be back again! read more

The best gelato in vt. We go year round, cause SCREW winter. Friendly owner, top notch product and taste. read more

This is my favorite Gelato place Owners is very down to earth people The owner knows ASL Makes easier on us deaf people to communicate Lots of delicious flavors My favorite is pistachio yummy I will definitely return again soon when it gets warmer again read more

Chill is the best thing that ever happened to my taste buds. Owners Nora and Theo Kennedy, and their daughters Aìne and Sasha are good friends, and we were surprised that they had decided to open up a business on their own in Montpelier. We are so happy they have been so successful! Nora has a wonderful knack of creating new flavors, most of which are completely new to the world. Like other reviewers, I love salted caramel and crème fraîche so much that it hurts to try something else. We are part time Vermonters and wish they could export their wonderful product to Boston. But I think it would be very hard to re-create the wonderful gelati and wonderful service from our wonderful friends. If you are ever near Montpelier, make a detour to the center of town and enjoy a little bite of heaven. read more

Call off the dogs - the hunt is over! It doesn't get any better than this!! This gelato is the stuff that my wet dreams are made of. read more

The gelato here is fantastic ~ truly top-rate :). Unfortunately, the customer service is terrible and the prices are outrageously high ($14 per pint ~ making this a once in a while stop only). {"Talenti" in the grocery store is less than $5 per pint and often on sale for $3-4}. You should also know that you cannot call the actual location. I very recently called ahead to order a pint because we were crunched for time. My call went to VM but was returned a few minutes later by the Owner who told me that if they weren't busy, (he was calling from his cell and was not at the actual location) they could have the pint ready, but if not I could just go in and they would pack it quickly(??). I said that another night might be better for me and I'd try another time because of my time crunch. He said, "I want to accommodate you", and that he'd call them and let me know, but then repeated that I could just have them pack it when I got there(??). Just as we were coming into Derby I received a text that the pint was ready for pick up ~ great! Not great ~ When I entered the store, there were no customers and the 2 girls working were happily chatting away leaning against the counter. I asked for my pint and they said that they needed to pack it. I said no thank you and also texted the owner to let him know. He did not reply. In hindsight, I am not convinced it was the girls fault. "If" the owner is reluctant to fill call ahead orders, and although "I" think it's a mistake, he should just say so and he definitely shouldn't deceive customers. Maybe they are so busy they don't and need my business? "I doubt that". I have been to the Derby Street location 4 times since the opening and have purchased 2 pints to go and every time I was the sole customer in the store. Ice cream is huge in Hingham! Every night, there's a line out the door at the local ice cream shop in Hingham Square. Gelato & Chill's gelato is delicious, but there are delicious gelatos at other such places as well as the grocery store freezers and at "much" more reasonable prices. At Gelato & Chill the $14/pint price, does not jive with the customer service. High-end and expensive restaurants do not survive on good food alone. If your only goal is delicious gelato then go to Gelato and Chill. On the other hand, if your expectation is to be treated honestly and respectfully and to receive good customer service at a "reasonable" price to go with your delicious gelato, I would go elsewhere. Why I won't return to Gelato & Chill? When I texted the owner to let him know that my pint was not ready, he didn't say "I'm sorry and I hope you'll try again another time", he said nothing! read more

I recommend the salted caramel gelato! This place is a great little gelato shop right in downtown Montpelier. When I was there they had about 10 different types of gelato and if you were unsure of what you wanted you could get a sample of all of them! Awesome customer service too. The woman (owner I think) that served us was super friendly and very welcoming to the obviously non-local group I was with. This shop is right near restaurants and the movie theater so it makes a great stop after dinner or after a film. read more

Go here - go here now! I have not had better outside of Italy, and the owners are super nice. I am not sure how you keep an ice cream place going in VT - but for the residents of Montpelier and surrounding areas I hope they do! read more

My first time here and I was super excited to discover that they have lactose-free options that were amazingly good!! I had chocolate and coconut sorbets and they were so delicious! read more

Every time I have been here I have never been disappointed. They give you a taste of whatever they offer that day before you buy anything plus their flavors change every time I go in. What I typically do is go out to eat the. Walk over on a weekend night and buy scoop. Even if it is winter time I still find the gelato delicious! The place serves exactly what they advertise read more

Ice cream was delicious and the service was great. And as a parent with a kid with egg allergies, we were happy to know none of their ice creams contained it. Try the rose ice cream. read more

Real. Gooooood!!! If your looking to fill up that's not this place but if you want a little slice of Italy this is the place to go great service, environment, and gelato read more

Really great gelato! We tried a few flavors and ended up getting the ginger and honeycomb flavors. Very smooth, the right temperature, and consistency. The girl working there was also really sweet. read more

They delivered to my sons school for his field day and the kids loved it! Service was awesome (they delivered product and a freezer then came back later to pick up). The sorbetto and gelato were awesome. I totally recommend their Gelato Party service! read more

Amazing customer service, amazing gelato. Stopped in on our walk home from dinner on a whim and were very happy we did. The owner greeted us warmly and helped us find our perfect flavor combos with plenty of samples and info about the ingredients, etc. The banana, maple, and pistachio gelatos are all fantastic. Highly recommended. read more

From the second you walk in to this place, you know it's the real deal. Bob Marley is jammin' on the speakers, and someone is there to greet you with a big smile and a welcome. Both the tastes and servings are extremely generous. Now to the important part: the gelato. When you walk in the first thing you see are a ton of hi-tech big stainless steel machines. Clearly, these people know what they are doing and are fully invested in creating an entirely genuine product. Not only that, but the process of creating the gelato is done entirely on-site from start to finish. When you taste the gelato, the expectations you've set from these first impressions are not only met, but surpassed. Simply blissful. I can safely say that is far and away the best I've ever had... and I've been to Italy multiple times and eaten my fair share of gelato. From the traditional flavors, like stracciatella or gianduia, to the more quirky ones like fig and goat cheese and mayan hot chocolate, honestly, every last flavor is delicious. My favorites are either the Elvis, Mintpelier, or Salted Caramel. Anytime you're in Montpelier, you should be down to Chill! read more

Great grotto with many unusual flavors. Service was great and fast. Clerk was very friendly. Great place in small store front on street with other interesting shops. read more

This is probably the most unique gelato place I've been to. The homemade flavors vary by the week, with selections ranging from cinnamon to chocolate lavender to White Russian to Rose.( and of course they have the normal vanilla and chocolate) I chose the rose which was vanilla flavored with rose water... Very different and yummy in small quantities.. I would recommend sampling before purchasing since the flavors almay not please everyone. This might be the only ice cream place in Montpelier but definitely spot on with top quality!!! read more

This family-run shop is friendly and welcoming, with a (fast-moving) line out the door in the summer. The gelato is fantastic-- old-favorite flavors like gianduia (chocolate hazelnut) and lemon alongside new tastes such as fig-chèvre and rose petal. My only problem is that I love the salted caramel and Belgian chocolate so much that I rarely get to taste the other flavors! read more

Montpelier has been lost without an ice cream place for several years now. Now this quaint new gelato place (somewhat hidden) has recently been opened this past fall by a lovely charming family (also deaf-friendly). It was difficult to find at first, but I was relieved that I finally located it! It was on State Street on the same side as the Salaam clothes store. I stopped in town specifically to check out this place. I had a double scoop of pear cardomon sorbet with banana gelato. It was delightful. I also had a sampling of their fabulous peanut butter gelato and it left me craving more! read more

I thought I wrote a review when I went here during the fall, but I guess not. I love this gelato shop; I would go here so often if I lived here. The flavors are fresh and inventive, owners are nice, and samples are generous. The texture of the gelato is good too; it's mixed so that you get bits of ginger or whatever the flavor is you're tasting. I like Morano Gelato, but I love Chill! I've never had a large gelato at Morano but it's almost impossible not to get a large here. YUM. I doubt I'll miss an opportunity to come here when I can. We stopped by here after an afternoon of playing in Burlington. read more

So impressed with this place! AMAZING gelato, new flavors every day. My husband and I were just visiting Montpelier, and had gelato every day we were there. On our last day, we had gelato twice, it's THAT good! read more

Montpelier has so many great little gems, I can see why people like living there. I'm still not sure what Gelato is, but I LIKE IT! They had a great selection of flavors, which seem to change everyday. It is all homemade, and I think they invent different flavors as they go. The salted caramel was the best, followed by the pumpkin pie, which I think is a seasonal. Definitely a place to check out if you are in the area. read more

Chill is by far the best gelato place I have visited in my life!!! From San Francisco's ice cream bars to New York City's gelato shops Chill rises above them all. This might be because of there personality and insightfully kind staff. All of their flavors are handmade from the most natural and delicious ingredients available and you can see the plump bags of pistachios and peaches resting on the black marble counters of the kitchen. The atmosphere is warm and cozy even though their product is, well, Chill. I highly recommend this gelato bar over all others and is well worth going out of your way for. A euphoric and returning customer. read more

Our whole family loves this place. Favorites include mintpelier w fresh mint, cookies and cream, and salted caramel. Great service. Check out the poem at the bar! Seven year old recommends size medium. Two flavors in a medium; three in a large. Ordered a gelato birthday cake that was stupendous. If you only have gelato in vt once this year, go chill! read more

Wonderful! From the perfectly-textured and amazingly flavored gelato, to the friendly yet efficient service, Chill is a great addition to downtown Montpelier! I went in the other day to get a pint to bring to a dinner party and had to come back for a cup a few days later. This is the first place I have reviewed since moving to Vermont--I am so pleased that I was motivated to log into my dormant account and shout it from the virtual rooftops. More weekday hours, please! I promise to be there on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday if you are! read more

My waistline wishes they weren't so amazing. Strawberry and balsamic? Genius!

If I had unlimited money to spend here, I would buy out all of their rose gelato for the next 5 years. It's. So. GOOD. Although the rose is my favorite, all their other flavors I've tried usually don't disappoint me. They are always so kind to me when I come in as well. The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is unfortunately it's a very small shop, and the prices can be kind of high. But that's the price to pay for rich, creamy, local gelato! read more

Chill has fantastic gelato! The staff is super friendly and always upbeat. They also give you taste samples so you can experience a variety of flavors. The gelato is always delicious and in the most unique and creative flavors. Love going here and would recommend to anyone! read more
