Abstellplatz, Arbeitsfläche, Regal
Counter in the bathroom means certainly where you can put things: a shelf - Regal, or Abstellfläche, Abstellplatz.
In the kitchen, it means the surface above the kitchen cabinets at the height of your waist: Abstellfläche, Arbeitsfläche, where you prepare your dinner or whatever.

Theke is the other German word, but that is for bars.

: For kitchen counters, "Arbeitsplatte" might be another option. But IMHO, all your suggestions are better than Ablage by itself.
