Boathouse Cafe — Restaurant in Passaic

What a difference between now and a dozen years ago. This building stood fallow and decaying and was basically an eyesore. Now in 2023 this building is a showcase for the park. The Boathouse Cafe is now a practically immaculate structure, and a source of pride. Their menu may be slightly limited, owing to the fact that they don't have a full fledged kitchen facility, but that doesn't deter everyone involved.

he Boathouse Cafe is my all time favorite cafe in New Jersey. Last November, my mom and sister threw me a beautiful bridal shower there and it was beyond amazing! The cozy ambiance of the cafe with that great view of the pond and the park made the evening absolutely beautiful and a memorable one. The staff was very helpful and cooperative, they helped out with everything from the setup, to decorating the cafe to serving the food. They allowed my sister to decorate the place and weren't too fussy about anything.They even let them borrow their manzanita trees and step and repeat banner for the event!! I am so glad we had my shower over there it was exactly as I imagined. And, I am so thankful to the staff of the Boathouse cafe for making my bridal shower such a memorable one. I would definitely recommend the Boathouse Cafe to others to host their events.
