The Boathouse Tea Room
The Boathouse Tea Room is a rustic spot by the Speed River serving light meals like sandwiches and salads alongside a popular ice cream bar that includes a daily rotating selection of vegan ice cream flavors. The venue is wheelchair accessible with outdoor seating that offers scenic river views, making it a casual place to relax, especially during warmer months when canoe and kayak rentals are available nearby. While the ice cream and dessert options receive praise, the vegan savory menu tends to lack protein variety and innovation, limiting choices for plant-based diners during lunch hours.
