Books, candles, incense, gifts, statues...you name it and they have it! Looking for that "alternative book"--they probably have it! Gifts, jewelry and a tea room! They also offer classes.

My wife and I were traveling through on our anniversary and stopped at this shop. The sales clerk was very friendly and the shop is well maintained and organized. It can be a little pricy but my understanding is that everything is imported from the Himalayas so that’s understandable. There’s a lot of really cool stuff here though and the woman we spoke with was very informative about what everything is. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re in the area!

Kerrytown Markets and Shops

Reviewed By stephanietO9263HX

40 of us arrived in Kerrytown around 10:30 in the morning. We planned to spend about 3.5 hours there and there was so much to do. We began in the Farmers Market where the fresh fruits and veggies we very enticing. I got some sweet corn that was the best I had all year, so good! After that we went to Zingermans, a foodies heaven. There was so much to look at and sample. We found some precious items to take home with us. After that we went to a shop across the street from them (sorry I forgot the name) but found some stocking stuffers there that will be much loved. Then we went into the Kerrytown Mall. Wowie Zowie. Hollanders was amazing, I wanted to move in, the cards, the papers, the art supplies were wonderful. There was a wonderful wine shop and grocery store. By the time we were done shopping we were ready to eat!! There were shops to please everyone but the lunch which got the most oohh and aahhh was the corned beef sandwich from Zingermans! One of the things I most appreciated is that there was lots of seating available, being a bit disabled I appreciated the picnic tables in the Farmers Market area. There was seating also in the Kerrytown mall and also in the dessert section of Zingermans. I can shop for much longer if I have breaks to sit and rest.
