The Willow Basket - Henley-on-Thames

Went to get some ice cream. Amazing weather and this cute little shop delivered. A host of flavors, unlimited sprinkles for the kids, milkshakes and much more. This ice cream shop is a local gem. Saw a few locals buy everything from home made pasta, honey, some groceries and of course buckets of ice cream. A definite recommend if you are in Henley. Expect to wait in a queue… the queue validates the demand of this place.

I had the pistachio and rhubarb and custard. Even the tubs are edible, not just the cone or waffle cone. Vegan options galore too. Mint choc chip or salted caramel is a definite recommend. So is deliciously honeycomb… What a way to welcome Summer 🙂

The best ice cream 🍦 in Henley. £4.50 for two scoops as of August 2022. £3 for one. I’m a local and I’ve tried all the ice cream shops. 30 plus flavours, vegan options. Top tip : the sundae is great value, or 3 scoops and share with your loved one 💕 I really appreciate how hard the lady works in there to keep us all happy on a hot day.

Lovey looking and smelling shop, so many things on sale as well as ice cream, including pastas, cereals and spices. The lady was lovely with the kids in front of us too, and the blackcurrant sorbet was ‘the best I’ve ever tasted’ 10/10 would recommend

Delicious organic coffee and ice cream and fantastic selection of organic whole foods (rice, pasta, oats, seeds, nuts etc.) I love this little shop bursting with treats and goodness. It is as green as can be as well, because all the packaging is either paper, recyclable or compostable.

Absolutely delicious ice cream, both dairy and plant-based. As a vegan, I've not had mint choc-chip ice cream for many, many years, so when I saw it in The Willow Basket I just had to try it. And would you believe it - it was every bit as scrumptious as the dairy version I used to enjoy all those years ago!

Popped in here on the way to the river and was not disappointed. Had the most amazing Birthday Cake Ice-cream with actual pieces of sponge cake and frosting in. Delicious!

Great ice cream, not to mention all the other groceries and bits and pieces you don’t need a load of landfill / “recycled” single use packaging from the supermarket for.

At last, a proper ice cream and healthy food shop/ deli in Henley on Thames! I have had my first ice cream here this afternoon and am already looking for an excuse to go back! The quality and variety of flavours is excellent, the ice cream scoops are very generous (a rarity) and the owner is absolutely lovely and lets you try before you buy - I came away with a bag of granola so I can taste it before purchasing, such a nice touch! Why go to one of the chains or pricey ice cream vans when you can get so much more for your money 2 minutes' walk away from the river?! Me and my gelato-loving Italian boyfriend urge you all to pop by as soon as you can 🙂
