🍦Swirls with a View: Soft Serve with a Twist-That You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Updated: Jun 2

You can’t say you’ve done summer in Stratford until you’ve had soft serve by the river.


At The Boathouse Stratford, soft serve isn’t just a treat—it’s a memory in the making. Whether you’re wrapping up a paddleboat ride, exploring the gardens, or just craving something cool with a view, we’ve got your swirl (and your sweet tooth) covered.


🍦Start with the Classic: Our Signature Soft Serve

There’s something timeless about a soft serve cone—simple, swirly, and endlessly satisfying. Ours is creamy, cool, and always hits the spot. Choose a cone or cup, then take it riverside for a taste of summer in full bloom.

🍓 Berries & Bubbles Sundae

Soft serve + bubble Belgian waffle + berries + chocolate drizzle


Part brunch, part dessert, all joy.


This sundae starts with our signature soft serve served on a warm, golden bubble-style Belgian waffle. We top it with a handful of juicy summer berries and a generous drizzle of rich chocolate sauce. It’s fresh, playful, and just the right kind of indulgent.



💬 “Like a picnic and a dessert date rolled into one.”


🫒 Olive Your Favourite Sundae Drizzle

Inspired by NYC’s viral olive oil soft serve—now with a Stratford twist.


What started as a trend in New York has landed in Stratford with a local twist—and trust us, you’ll want in on it.


In collaboration with Olive Your Favourites, we’ve created three bold flavour experiences that start with our classic soft serve and finish with something totally unique:


🍋 Lemon-infused olive oil – bright, zesty, sherbet-like

🍊 Orange-infused olive oil – smooth and nostalgic, like a grown-up creamsicle

🌿 Classic olive oil topped with lavender-infused honey from Daisy Bee and a dash of Himalayan salt – buttery, floral, and unforgettable



💬 “It sounds weird until you try it. Then you wonder where it’s been all your life.”


📍Where to Find the Most Unique Soft Serve in Stratford

You’ll find us on York Street, just below the Boathouse public washrooms, overlooking the Avon River. Follow the laughter, the scent of waffle cones, and the line of happy people with cones in hand.
