Great location and customer service…read more Scones: Decent. A little sweet (which I like), served with whipped cream and strawberry jam. Fruit: The fruit was the best part of all our meals here. It was so fresh and sweet, which I thought would be difficult to find outside of California! I also enjoyed it with cottage cheese, which is not so common at breakfast spots in California unfortunately. Tea: The tea is enjoyable but pretty average when compared to bougier tea spots like The Bruce in Stratford. It's not clear how long I should let it steep for for optimal flavor. I preferred the Winter Dream green tea, which was warm and cozy, slightly sweet. I also preferred the McCrae over the Boathouse blend. The Boathouse blend was a little basic for me, and the McCrae had a slight sweetness that I enjoyed. High Tea: Average - a good price and pleasant experience, especially if the weather is nice enough to eat outside (and catch a bald eagle flying by!). My favorite dessert was the carrot cake cupcake. Ice Cream: Yes, ice cream and tea is definitely a good idea! The banana cream pie tastes like your classic Runts banana flavor (the original banana that got wiped out) and the black cherry has plenty of big cherry pieces. Great servings, and we loved that they served them in reusable bowls instead of disposable ones. Would definitely come again!

A very charming space overlooking the water. The Boathouse is located on 116 Gordon St in Guelph…read more There is parking available right along the paved walkway (angle parking only). If you follow the route, it leads to another bigger parking lot. Parking is free! Reservations are highly recommended. My guest and I made a reservation for two for 1:30pm. It was very busy when we walked in. We got a table right by the door. There were artwork and paintings hung all around the cafe - it was cute. I ordered an afternoon tea set, as well as an extra breakfast burrito for my guest and I to share. There is a tea menu to look at all the various options they have. It was nice to see that they had many options to choose. Our set came with mini sandwiches, scones and dessert and fruits. I would definitely come back to visit - it would be nice to come in the summer and book a table out on their patio.

The soft serve ice cream is very good as well, though the chocolate dip does overpower it a bit. I feel like next time I'll just get a regular plain cone, mainly because the dip is very thick and after a while it becomes a bit too sweet. I definitely want to try the milkshakes they had advertised next time.

Was expecting a couple of vegan options and was surprised that there were quite a few. The inside…read moreclean and neat, but limited seats available on a Friday night. Ordered a Vegan Dark Chocolate and Pistachio Croffle that comes with a vanilla soft serve that is dairy based and served on a side. Perfectly baked (?) still crunchy and a drizzle of dark chocolate and pistachios. Yum. Definitely trying different types here. The large Chocolate Ice Cream was good as well. Good chocolate intense flavour and not too sweet. The ice cream was a bit soft for our preference and it almost was soft serve consistency. I don't think there are more vegan plant based ice cream flavours, but if there were we would be here more often. They also offer oat milk which you replace the dairy in any of your hot/cold beverages. The people behind the counter are very helpful and service oriented. Good job.

I am so happy that we did because the pistachio gelato I ordered and the cookies and creme my boyfriend had were amazing! The consistency was perfect; smooth and creamy! The flavor was spot on, tasted great and came with a complimentary waffle slice! There were two women working while I went in and they were very pleasant, helped us out and let us try as many flavors of gelato that we wanted. The shop itself is small and quaint, with lots of sweet options. What caught my eye were the salt water taffy in many odd flavors such as maple bacon. Unfortunately I didn't grab any, I am still regretting that but there is always next time because I will be back!

Rather mediocre - this is the best way to describe their sweets…read more Been there twice, on different occasions, due to commitments in the area. Both times I've had different sweets - did not try their ice cream, so my review is solely about the confectionary side of things. The candies are overly sweet, with ingredients being seemingly out of proportion. Had a lot better stuff out of grocery store box sets. Won't repeat.
