Came in this afternoon with a group from work, who have various disabilities. The staff this afternoon were absolutely the kindest helpful young ladies. My buddies were treated wonderfully and were so happy to be welcomed here with open arms and hearts. Thank you! We all enjoyed our ice cream, and I know these young men I had with me today will not forget your kindness. They had a great visit. The Peach ice cream is SUPERB. read more

We got a Blueberry Milkshake and a Blueberry Soda Float (vanilla ice cream). The Fountain uses Giffords Ice cream, and Eli's blueberry soda. The milkshake was super thick and tasty but took quite a while to make. The shop has an old timey soda shop vibe but the staff didn't quite match that feeling. Side note: The shop also offers gluten free bread for their sandwiches but we did not get one. read more

The Fountain - Counter view - Delis Near Me - Bath, Maine

A rudimentary plan to grab a sandwich at this place after dropping off some film at NP has worked in my favor. The waxing moon may be foreboding for some, but for me it was fortuitous. John, the owner and soda jerk extraordinaire, was managing the front of the shoppe, preparing a bag for one of the regular customers. After placing my order with the satisfying reaffirmations "Good choice!" I took a seat at the counter. Then another regular picking up and friendly banter. Before long, John and I were chatting it up as if I, too, were a regular. He's definitely one of the friendliest guys and runs one of the most charming little ice cream/soda bar/sandwich shops I've been into. Super charming interior that really does make you feel like you're slipping back into the 50's. I actually tried a couple of their sandwich options, one at the shop and the other to take home. They are most satisfying, and feel as though you're nine years old again, visiting your Aunt Ginny and Uncle Ed, enjoying sandwiches and chips in the yard without a care in the world. read more

Hubby and I passed Bath on our way to more north and had some time to stop in on our way home. It was a quaint little town though at this point in the day, I was being kind of a whiner while hubby wanted to explore and take in the sights. As a compromise, we parked, walked about 50 ft and got ice cream here at The Fountain. The "aesthetic" as the influencers would say is an old school diner/deli spot. The signs were funny to read and went perfectly with our Wild Maine blueberry ice cream. It had a few stools that were occupied by a few rounds of people, so quaint and cozy! After most of our ice cream was gone, I mentioned I kind of wanted something soupy and hubby pointed out they had chicken stew and a seafood chowder. I was skeptical they would still have it since everyone who came in had been there for ice cream but when I went up, sure enough, they had the chicken stew! They didn't claim that it was homemade but it tasted so and was delicious and hit the spot. The guy who helped us (looked like he was in his late teens) was super cool and courteous, with both the ice cream and soup. They actually got pretty good foot traffic from what appeared to be local folks, living their best life getting double scoop ice cream cones. Definitely recommend stopping in if you want a snack or ice cream while in town. Check it out! read more

Stopped in for a milkshake and a float! Plenty ice cream options! We got a blueberry milkshake and a blueberry float with vanilla ice cream. Milkshake was great. Blueberry soda was a little sweet for an ice cream float. read more

This is a perfect step into history. The food is amazing. This is pure favorite place to eat and top it off with a scoop or 2. The service is amazing, fast, and friendly. It's a step back in time, clean and old fashioned. F Brings history back to our small town. read more

we stoppid in win it was a full moon and it was verreycoldoutside. we gots some soup and somes sandwiches. Thay was good. but we had ta get tha soup warmed up, becauses we like it pipin hot. Next time we be telling tha people's we like stuff supers hot. Thanks you. My ma was excited to try tha hot chocolates and it was to her liking. Next times I hope we gets hot food tha first time and don't bee having to wait for it to gets warmed up. Nice people. Might probably be back win it gets warmer outside. We could try tha ice creams and not be getting any ice creamy head aches. I guessed tha prices are high as kites everrey where's, so it doesnt bee fair to compare tha prices with making soup from pantry at homes. In tha nutshells, it is a good place to bee getting foods. Thanks you for bein nice to my Mar, on account of she has tha allzhimmers and I got hit on tha head a long times ago. read more

This place is cute, they have about a dozen flavors buy the ice cream itself was very good and the young ladies working there were wonderful. Maine Deer tracks was delicious! read more

It's a vibe! 50's diner straight out of a movie. We had ice cream that was delicious and enjoyed it in our visit in Bath

The ice cream line was long as soon as they opened-- watching the smiling professional counter staff deal with a chaotic group of excited kids was a pleasure and the kids went away happily licking their cones. Another customer chose her flavors by color-- to match her neon splash top! She went away happy. We were there for lunch which calls for anyone of their delicious hand made sandwiches and a root beer float or vanilla milkshake, don't you think? Yes. Be patient-- go elsewhere if you're in a rush. Hand made excellence is hard to come by. They have pre-made food as well, including their delicious haddock chowder. The choice varies-- a little bit of Mediterranean, a little bit of tex-mex, all of it delicious. All of their soups are outstanding. The decor is retro soda fountain and of course it works. They have tasty cold brew coffee (great for a different kind of float). read more

Best ice cream! Giffords is the best! Good lunch menu options. Kind and Friendly staff

I love going here always have the best food and sandwiches, amazing pies!! But today was completely different there was three young adults in there today without a grown adult, I waited over 30 mins for two sandwiches as there was just me and another person ordering, when I got my sandwich I had no chips I payed for and the sandwich was in scrambles one peace of turkey, a whole half of a avocado, the ends of a tomato, mayo not even spread on! I love eating here not saying I'm never going again but this is ridiculous not one adult in there to provide guidance, please make sure ur employees are trained correctly before letting the kids have there own shift all together. read more

Delightful, old school ice cream and deli! Enjoyed the Moose Tracks and Butter pecan, hand dipped and done well! Yum! The walk down Front Street was lovely. Great stop in our drive-worth the detour. read more

Shoddy service by young kids. No one seems to be in charge. Sandwich was ok. Definitely has gone down in the last couple of years.

Cute place to grab lunch. There's also tons of ice cream to choose from. And root beer on tap! read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The deli sandwiches were excellent and the grape nut and soft serve ice cream was amazing!! We were here for our 39th wedding anniversary and what a an amazing place to visit!! Thank you so much!! read more

This downtown location is often very busy and that's because it's the perfect place to grab a sandwich (the cuban! very good), soup, salads and, of course, ice cream (hey! it's The Fountain). Everything we've had here is great. Ambiance is akin to an early sixties soda joint, but with modern food offerings. The Fountain is a cozy little place to pick up & go back to the office or to bring on a day trip or eat in the riverside park. We love that we can get high quality stuff at reasonable prices without needing to go too far. Staff are really nice. Thanks for doing what you do for the city of Bath!! read more

Solid spot to get a sandwich! Not many things were open in Bath on a Tuesday, but The Fountain was ready for us! Great options for sandwiches and soups, either made to order or ready to go in the fridge by the register. They wait wasn't too long, and we hit their lunch rush. Come support! They also have TONS of ice cream! read more

The Fountain - a sandwich and chips in a styrofoam container - Delis Near Me - Bath, Maine

Great sandwich shop/ ice cream parlor in Bath. This was my first time here and was in the mood for ice cream, so I found this place. I know there used to be an ice cream parlor in bath, but i guess it went out of business. Cute place with a large sandwich and ice cream selection. My ice cream was delicious. Sat at the counter and ate. Fun place decorated like an old school ice cream parlor. Great employees and fun experience. read more

Great new addition to town. They have some hot food options as well as soup, or you could get a sandwich. They have roughly 20 ice cream flavors to choose from along with shake options. Great atmosphere, the only thing I didn't love was the pickles with my sandwich. Call me a purist, but they should be dill and not sweet. read more

Awesome sandwich place right in downtown Bath. We ordered two sandwiches which was approx. a 25min wait. This place seems to stay quite busy but is well worth it. I ordered a Reuben which was perfect! Prices are also reasonable. I will definitely revisit again when in the area. read more

It's The Fountain: enter Bath's classic retro-style deli. Seeing as the fountain is now the only place to get good ice cream in downtown bath, it's hard not to like it! The downside can be cost. if you get ice cream with sprinkles it can be upwards at $5, but other menu items are reasonably priced and equally delicious. Overall highly recommend the fountain to anyone looking to get lunch in downtown bath. read more

I take my grandson to The Fountain! We love the old style ice cream shop!! I've been coming here for years for vanilla with sprinkles cone and a ice cream sundae with chocolate and caramel sauce. yummy. read more

I have always enjoyed their casseroles and lunches but today I thought I'd try the ice cream. I am extremely particular about my hot fudge sauce. Many other places claim to serve it although it's Hershey's syrup. I almost fell over when the gal told me it is homemade! And boy was it delicious! For those of you that want the real thing it can't be beat! read more

Since they serve Gifford's - it has to be good. Had a milk shake and another scoop in a cup. Both were great. Friendly staff.

Ordered off the window menu, for outside table Drop off ( covid19). The turkey burrito pie and chicken/black bean burrito were fantastic. Each order was at least 2 meals (the pie is 3 meals!) very easy, very tasty! Will be going back there soon read more

Stooped by yesterday looking for some comfort food. Choose the shepards pie. Tookit home haeted it up, it was the best I can remebr ever having. Just wonderful and comforting like a hug from your mother. CR Davis Woolwich Maine read more

Food is fine-nothing great - service is awful. Lady is so slow at making food and gave us the wrong food. I waited 30 min for a sandwich. Not friendly staff either. Bye fountain!! Not coming back. read more

Great place to grab a quick sandwich or ice cream. Great service & not terribly priced.

Everything about this place rocks: the food, the Giffords, the atmosphere, the people. They don't make places like this anymore. And they serve an AWESOME cookies & cream milkshake! read more

I am sure their ice cream is fine, but don't bother with the sandwiches. Our ham Italian was two tiny slices of ham on a giant hoagie roll. Fresh veggies and pickles, but certainly not worth $10. I could have got a better sandwich at the IGA around the corner for half the price. read more

Amazing sandwiches and fabulous service. We had the Italian, chicken pesto, and burrito, and LOVED them. All of the staff were so nice, excited to go back! Everything was very clean with good COVID-19 precautions. read more

Such a cute classic ice cream place! We only had ice cream when we were there, but they had a good food selection and we saw some other people eating things that looked great! We will be back for sure. read more
