Afternoon Tea at the Boathouse Tea Room

It's been a while since I've reported on my quest to find the best British afternoon tea here in Canada. Today I will be sharing my time at The Boathouse Tea Room and Ice Cream in Guelph, Ontario. (I visited there back in November before they closed for the season).

I used to frequent this place when I lived in the city, but only ever for their ice cream, so this place was on my radar but this was my first time here for their afternoon tea. I went for the town's special blend McCrae House Blend. And it was goooood.

We ordered the High Tea for Two and weren't disappointed with the beautiful presentation. Look at those flowers! The assorted finger sandwiches were simple and trad.: tuna, egg salad, and cucumber with cream cheese.

These scones were heavenly. Nice with the cream (would have been better with actual clotted cream, but then again would have been better to have been enjoyed in Devon) and fruit jam.

And just look at these petite sweets! They were just darling and delicious.

This afternoon tea was fun, the atmos. splendid with the pastel colour palette and mismatched tea cups, and the food simple and perfect. I'd certainly go back when they open again for the season in April. And I'm sure my regular tea date would be willing to do so as well.
