We are a locally sourced tea room and ice cream parlour located just off the Speed River, right in the heart of Guelph.

We began our journey by serving ice cream on the river and over the past two decades, have broadened our delightful menu to include teas, signature scones, and desserts, along with lunch and breakfast items.

We invite you to relax on our patio and enjoy the scenic view. After enjoying what our menu has to offer, you can experience the amenities provided by our neighbours, family-run Speed River Paddling. Since opening our doors in 1997, we have welcomed many smiling patrons and we would love for you to share your stories with us during your next visit to The Boathouse.
