The staff is super friendly and I appreciate the loyalty cards for coffee and bread. The bakery itself is small but so quaint being in an old historical house. If you haven't tried With the Grain, you're missing out on a Guelph experience.

Shannon really took the time in our call to get to understand what I want and made the best recommendations. The presentation of the cake to the taste = perfection! My daughter absolutely loved it and so many parents commented on how beautiful it was and that it truly was delicious. For the price, I couldn't believe it! Highly recommend for all special occasion cakes and bakery items! Can't wait to book my other daughters 2nd birthday cake! Thank you so much to the whole staff! You truly are a gift to us!

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.

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!

There is limited seating inside but the patio across is also theirs. Inside, the walls are covered in different art work, the bathroom is located on the second floor. They have several options for both food and drinks. We all opted in for different varieties of bagel sandwiches. Lavender latte was different but tasty. The service was quick, they bring the food to your table. Overall, all of us enjoyed our brunch here.

It was pouring out so we popped in for a hot drink. The tables were full but we sat on the stools at the window. We had turmeric lattes which were a bit too strong and chalky for me but hubby liked his. There is one washroom and it was clean enough. Great place to stop for a drink or quick bite.

Let me just say yum. Not sure if these ingredients are actually good but they taste pretty tasty…read more The soup was creamy and the bread fresh and buttery. The butternut taste was spot on and it was super comforting. The pizza was pretty good: the crust very pillowy and the sauce meh. The actual like main dough was super thin which was strange but tasted kinda good. We also got a slice of cake that was super rich and triple chocolate. The food was pretty good and I will say taste around the same as like 3 years ago. Our server, Brendan, was pretty nice and we did get our food very quickly considering how busy it was. I will say that they put their freaking cook book everywhere. It is on. The tables and in the decor( which is pretty nice). Like I would honestly say maybe tone it down a little wow. I just wonder are those actually real or are the like just covers cause they have about 1 million just sitting around. So pretty much that and the price is what takes off a star. So we actually came in their anniversary and got like a slightly cheaper version but the normal prices are not cheap. It's not that bad just inflation I guess

There are NO positives that can be said about this experience. The food was minimal for a high price ($140 for a few tiny sandwiches, scones which were completely overcooked and had to be sent back and resulted in a long wait for a replacement, a few savoury things which were tiny and tiny little desserts only four little tiny ones. In fact , basically the food was tasteless in most cases and extremely expensive for what we got. The staff member was not attentive, the café is not clean and certainly not the charming Place I expected to be. I would avoid this location at all costs.
