The Boarding House Cafe is a well-loved spot in Vernon that has been around for several years. It offers a variety of menu items, including nachos, cookies, pastries, coffee, and milkshakes. While the nachos are simple and not gourmet, they are good for snacking while playing board games, which remains the main reason people visit. The cozy and comfortable environment, along with a calm atmosphere, makes it a popular choice for relaxing with a storybook or enjoying a treat. The owner is known for her kindness and warmth, creating a welcoming vibe that makes guests feel accepted and at home. Her baked goods, especially the cookies and scones, are highly praised, with the cheesecake being a standout—layered, balanced, and indulgent without feeling too heavy. Recent reviews mention that the cafe still maintains its friendly staff and cozy atmosphere despite some changes in management. Though some concerns about cleanliness and the overwhelmed barista have been raised, many visitors continue to enjoy the casual environment and the delicious desserts. Overall, The Boarding House Cafe remains a beloved spot where good food, welcoming people, and a relaxed setting come together seamlessly.
