The Boathouse - Guelph, Ontario

Came here for some tea with my mom. I got the turmeric milk latte, and my mom got a pot of jasmine tea..it was really nice. Service is a bit slow and outdoor area can be improved. The inside sitting area is much nicer. They have high tea here so I ... will come back for that. Read more

Happy to find gluten free options, I had the GF Turkey BLT sandwich and it was so delicious, will be getting it again. Tasty GF scone also pictured. Plus they have select desserts that are gluten/dairy/nut free! Hard to find the trifecta! (GF Ah Caramel & non-GF Carrot Cake pictured). ... Quinn was wonderful, such a considerate server. Cute, quaint little place, beautiful with the sun shining on the river. Read more

We had higher expectations based on other reviews. Cute place. Went for afternoon tea. Food wasn’t made there and definitely purchased at like Costco or somewhere and thrown on plates. Scones came with canned whip cream in a dish - overall just a very disappointing experience. No AC or fans ... inside, was super hot. Staff were slow And not attentive to our needs, took forever to flag someone down for our bill. Mediocre experience. Would not recommend. Read more

I love the Boathouse! This was the first time we'd done Afternoon Tea and my only complaints were that they sat 3 of us at a 2 person table and it was really squishy for tea, and for an upcharge for real clotted cream I expected more than a tablespoon - ... it wasn't even enough for half of the scone. The tea selection was wonderful, yummy and of excellent quality. Great variety of both savory and sweet options, the egg salad was a favourite. The gluten free options were excellent! A great casual tea experience. Read more

Took my mom here for afternoon tea last year and I am loving the vibe of this place. It's so cute! They had a festive high tea featured during that time. They have a good selection of teas.. their sandwiches and scones were great but I wish they had a ... better variety of desserts especially since you are paying more for festive tea. However, it was beautifully presented and as it was my mom's first time, she really enjoyed it. When it was time to get the bill, it was really hard to get their attention because it got super busy. We had to wait quite a bit and ended up going to the front to pay instead. Otherwise, it was a good experience and would probably do it again if I'm in the area. Read more
