Gardener of Bath — Local services in Bath Township

So, this review is for Henry’s Creamery, the cool blue and white ice cream trailer located behind The Gardner of Bath, which, if you’ve never been, is a great little store full of expertly curated bespoke and handcrafted items. And that’s not easy for me to say. I’ve all but shunned brick and mortars in lieu of Amazon over the past several years, giving credence to expediency and variety over, well, heart and soul. However, it seems that whenever I need something that is out of my league (ie. something for my special lady friend or which has any sense of feminine charm) I seek out stores like The Gardner of Bath. The couple who runs it, Justin and Heather, are classy and heartfelt about what they do in such a way that the big chains will never be able to compete. They’ve managed to fill the gaps left by the leapfrogging e-commerce companies. But really, I’m here to write about the ice cream. Let me start by saying that I hate the word ‘foodie’, but I guess that’s sort of what I am. A foodie, and a fatty, who has traveled the world to over 35 countries, mainly to try the cuisine of other cultures. Sure savory is good, but it’s the sweets of the world that have my heart. Enter Henry’s Creamery. To be forced to call this ‘ice cream’ seems like a glaring oversight and hints at the inadequacy of the English language to succinctly describe the nuances of worldly things. The chocolate and the vanilla will make you angry that anyone in your life ever had the gall to serve you Breyers or Edys. The texture and the layering of various flavors, like a hint of smoked salt in the chocolate and coffee in the vanilla, make this ice cream more of an experience than a dessert. Plus they offer various other flavors like banana pudding ice cream with home made vanilla wafers and raspberry ice cream with heaps of said fruit inside. If you are in the neighborhood, or even within a 50 mile radius, I would suggest coming here for a treat yourself kind of day. 10/10 - would eat this until I need to be chainsawed out...

Absolutely stunning gift store in Bath Township carrying so many unique, punchy gifts. There are a lot of very high quality, reputable items from earth-friendly, ethical, women-operated-biz, queer-friendly, pet-friendly, etc. brands. I am a crazy cat mom, and this store seriously has some pawsitively insane cat/dog items that I have never seen anywhere else. :D My favorites are the Fishs Eddy "Cat Person" mug and shopping bag. Lately, I am obsessed with Dogeared sterling silver jewelry, and as my birthday is coming up, I plan on treating myself to some new pieces. I also need to stock up on my Booda Butter for the coming winter! Oh also, don't forget to check out all the countertop goodies before checking out! For me, the mini-buttons and patches on their counter have made...

I can’t say enough good things about this store! I grew up in the area, but sadly don’t live in town anymore. I try to stop in every time I’m home. No holiday season is complete with out a visit to Gardener of Bath! In addition to having an incredibly welcoming, cozy in-store atmosphere, they offer great services to long-distance customers like the FaceTime shopping they did last year. I’m so proud to say that Heather and her small business are from my hometown - they’re a gem that’s not...
