Beautiful place n food hopefully they will keep the dine in open for evenings as well as we went yesterday but were not aware that dine in is closed in evenings.

We only come for ice cream.
It's the premier hard serve ice cream in Guelph.
There are only a few places to get scooped ice cream, and the boathouse is consistently the best for hours, availability, varieties.
Also...once you get your cone, you can enjoy a nice stroll along the river as you #gatheringuelph and enjoy.the Park.
As locals in Guelph, this is where we go.to get a scoop or two of ice cream.
They serve Shaws Ice cream which is a high quality brand made in ontario.

We had a lovely table by the window overlooking the river. Delicious salad with specialty in house balsamic dressing. Quiche of the day, squash & garlic was amazing. Our server was always there if we needed her. We'll be back for sure.

Love the Boathouse every time of the year! My kids love their soups, the scone and ice cream! Good prices and great view outside. Breakfast wrap is my favourite of the menu, the matcha latte is great.

It’s the cutest little tea place. It’s like it’s been taken out of a British village.

Ordered the cream tea with darjeeling. The tea and scone were mediocre and the service was even worse. Upon entry, I was handed a menu and told to sit wherever. A waitress came with water and asked if I needed a minute. No greeting, just right to the point. I ordered, and was swiftly presented with a small scone. The only napkin was under the scone, and there was a strange absence of them elsewhere, so I assume they want guests to wipe the corners of their mouths with crumb-laden napkins. They then brought out the teapot with nowhere to put the dripping bag, so again I assumed - they must want guests drinking bitter tea. The darjeeling itself was stale and bland - no flavour was there whatsoever (likely a result from being stored incorrectly and for too long). I went up to pay, and was simply told my amount owed - so in addition to not being greeted, this establishment also doesn't even ask how the meal went.

The atmosphere was pleasant otherwise, but there is an extreme lack of hospitality here - even fast food drive throughs are more hospitable than this.
