“Finally tried this spot after multiple friends had recommended it, and I was not disappointed! I had an oatmilk caramel latte and a strawberry cheesecake cookie (fresh out the oven - omg 😚). Both were so yummy!! Good price for artisnal drinks and handmade baked goods! Worth every penny. Oh!! And EXCELLENT service, very warm with a genuine smile! It made my day! Thank you ♥️ 🥰“

“Been ordering “Red Eye to Rome” for almost 2 years now for my espresso machine! Excellent customer service & product! Thank you!!“

“We have been having lunch here after our Wednesday volunteer shift at the nearby Guelph Humane Society since 2022. More than great sandwiches, (we have tried many varieties, all so good!), coffees, salads and dessert offerings, customers are greeted by friendly staff that make you feel welcome and at home. 🥰“

“Funeral arrangement this past Saturday was outstanding.“

“Been a favourite of mine for years. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options, as it is hard to find both that actually taste good! A nice chill place to get coffee or a drink with a friend, or do do some work! Love that they allow dogs in the summer and they have the handy walk up window!! 10/10 love this place!“

“beet place to go spend some time there“

“amazing service and great coffee. was there this morning and big thank you to the person behind the counter for being amazing!“

“It is the small things that often make a difference in choosing excellent coffee. Having a bag of coffee that I can re-seal and remove the air from via a one way valve is genius and is an extra cost for the manufacturer. It also shows me that they know what they are doing and care about their product. Well done Lost Aviator!“

“I ordered the Christmas High Tea. The chicken salad sandwich was chicken curry and delicious. I asked to change the cranberry and orange scone for their regular scone which was no problem and the scone was warm, soft and fabulous, especially with the cream they provide. The cranberry brie bite was a delicious little tart. My favourite sandwich was the pesto cream cheese and cucumber - delicious. They came by quickly to provide a refill of boiled water for my tea and were very attentive to ensure we had what we needed. My daughter got the cream tea [scone with cream and jam and a pot of tea], she opted for the cranberry and orange scone and loved it. My husband isn't a tea fan, he got the tuna sandwich and soup. The sandwich was huge, filled with good quality tuna. I would highly recommend the Boathouse Tea Room - their prices are very reasonable and the food was great.“

“This is a cute little shop full of healthy smoothies and smoothie/protein packed bowls. I found it interesting that you can every add little additions like Lions Maine (which is great to reduce brain fog and increase mental clarity). Marine collagen, turmeric, b12, creatine MCT, beef pollen, sea moss, spirulina. So many things to kick your smoothie or bowl up a notch.

I got the Acai Superfood Smoothie (acai, blueberry, strawberry, banana, agave, oatmilk). Hit the spot! I will be most definitely returning again !“

“We had lunch at PJ’s restaurant yesterday. It was an amazing experience as student staff was so attentive and the food was unique, beautiful prepared, perfect flavour. We were surprised it was pretty busy on the rainy day and students don’t accept tips.“

“My favourite café in Guelph. However, the café seems to close earlier than advertised. On this Saturday evening I arrived around 9:15pm only the find the Cafe closed (45 minutes early) with some of the waiters inside. The hours of operation need to be consistent or changed officially.“
