Reviews of Dobbies Garden Centre Dunfermline

D. W.

Visited on Friday. Wide variety of healthy plants for sale and aisles well spaced. Spent nearly £80 on food items. Disappointed by woman on check out who hurtled everything through so fast and wouldn't put things directly into our empty shopping bags. Charged more than shelf price for 5 items.

L. M.

Fantastic range of beautiful plants, and some highly unusual ones, every shade of pot you can imagine, a lots more to see in this huge Dobbies. Lovely light, spacious and easy to get around. Good range of treats in cafe, and a takeaway strawberry 🍓 tart for my dad.

K. D.

Dobbies is my favourite shop,I love it.The only thing I dont like are the prices,sometimes it can be a little pricey,but you get what you pay for.The staff are always friendly and helpful.I like to look at the AMAZING array of fancy,colourful plants and flowers,most of which I have never heard off.Go and have a look for yourself.Also while stopping to look at the plants have a wander into the bright and spacious restaurant,again its not cheap but it's a nice place to stop and have a chat with Friends.

A. S.

The queues in the cafe being ridiculously long, if you need a refill, you have to wait at least 20mins before being served. There's got to be a more efficient way to serve or present the cafe itself. We had the festive afternoon tea and that was very good indeed and the service was impeccable.

I. C.

Disappointed with the cafe today unfortunately. Made to wait far too long to be served. Could hear other folk complaining also about the time taken to be served. We attempted to sit at 4 different tables, which were all dirty. When staff actually did get around to wiping the tables they seemed to half wipe them and any crumbs on the table were just swept off the table and onto the chairs that we are expected to sit on. Not an enjoyable visit today. Love the selection of cakes and drinks on offer but poor service is letting them down.

L. J. L.

We visit regularly and enjoy a cuppa and cake in the cafe but lately the service has been really slow. Food is generally good, but often have run out of things and staff are polite but ineffective at sorting (albeit small) issues.

C. S.

I enjoy visiting Dobbies when I'm in Dunfermline. Great variety of goodies, and a lovely restaurant, obviously very popular with the locals and those from further afield. Busy garden centre also, well worth a visit

A. 8.

Great place to shop for garden and house. They are about to stock Waitrose products so that will be good. Cafe is good, the staff are very friendly. Worth a visit.

C. L.

As card members we pay for the privilege of a free coffee monthly, however not sure they know the concept of hot, even after asking for it to be extra bot today, the usual like warm cup came

D. R.

They have nice things but it's pricey, but I got a lovely eggchair there with 20% off.cakes are tiny and cost £3.75 for one

J. H.

We were invited to the lovely Elsies 3rd Birthday Party & had a great afternoon . Ellon was brilliant with kids & Adults nothing was too much trouble . I would definately book kids party here with such a nice host as Ellon .

H. M.

Always friendly staff. Easy to access and park and to get around. Broad selection of products and plants and the restaurant is a real treat.

A. C.

It's a good sized store, well stocked and the staff are good. Restaurant does especially well - much better than a recent experience at Lasswade which seemed disorganised.

P. W.

Great visit this afternoon for lunch .. 7 of us .. Food very good .. quick service .. The young waiting on staff were wonderful . .. pleasent smiley efficient and very professional ... Will recommend ..

L. H.

The shop is beautiful and great for a look around. Quite expensive but you pay for a better quality of plant etc. The cafe though, always seems to have a huge waiting list, even though it doesn't look that busy, and service is slow. I don't know if they just don't have enough staff. We went in for a quick lunch but gave up and went elsewhere. I've had a Dobbies card (where you get free tea and coffee each month), but I don't think I've used it in over 2 years as (since the cafe moved to table service instead of selfserve), it just takes too long to pop in if you want a lunch and not just a coffee and a cake. Pity.

H. L.

Very pleasant visit for breakfast with a friend. Big shout out to Scott and Gabrielle in the coffee bar/restaurant. These two always have a big smile and a warm welcome when I see them, there are a few who could take a leaf out of their book. The store was looking fabulous with all the new stock being displayed very tempting!

B. F.

Purpose of the visit was to use the restaurant. This was excellent, from the initial greeting, through the service and indeed quality of the food

L. L.

Helpful staff. Queuing system needs improved as people come from all directions and no one says anything about queue jumping Quality of food not exceptional and selection at coffee bar is dismal and over priced

A. L.

Pond section was great and the girl that worked there was super helpful, nice and knowledgeable. This was a good experience because usually staff can be rude and not helpful at all!

I. R.

Well-presented store. Good quality produce. Variety. Good cafe.

j. s.

Dobbies is our go to place for a wee wander and a coffee, (especially when it’s free!) We’ve just moved to Fife from Livingston and thankfully we’re still able to get our monthly fix in Dunfermline.

A. M.

🥰

G. H.

Easy access with disabled parking spaces. Inside the store there are wide aisles. Staff are friendly and helpful with smiley faces. Large variety of items in all sections. Well worth a visit and I would certainly recommend this store.

S. B.

Nice afternoon tea but staff could be a bit more cheery.

B. M.

A favourite place for garden, bird and food stuff. And they found my car keys!

d. o.

The helpful staff and reasonable pricing and a comfortable open space to have good food at good prices.

M. P.

We would just like to congratulate the staff in the cafe for a wonderfully delicious afternoon tea, everything was plentyfull, fresh and delicious. The staff from greeting us in the queue, to serving us were helpful & friendly, nothing was too much effort. We will be recommending you & we will be back ourselves

E. K.

It is a big store, lot to see and buy. It has a great coffee too.

C. M.

Because every time I visit your store I always find what I'm looking for plus more, and your staff are always happy to help

R. B.

A wonderful place to shop. The Staff are always happy and very helpful. The plants are fantastic quality as is every thing inside, great place to grab a gift. The Cafe is amazing. The cake are to die for. Even the gluten free and vegan ones are lovely. Alternative milks avaliable for coffees too. They are so friendly, even in the Cafe. I cant fault the place at all, ive spent more money than I care to admit in Dobbies over the years!

B. L.

Went for fish and chip deal on Friday. When we got to the front of the queue we were told 20min delay for restaurant. So after giving contact details we had a wonder about the store then went back to restaurant at the appointed time and shown to a table. We were served by a friendly and helpful waitress Isabel who said their would probably have a 20min wait for our food and advised the the fish was cod not haddock which we agreed to. The food was great very enjoyable and worth the wait. We then enjoyed a coffee and paid at our table then left via the garden centre. Will be back.

J. M.

Lovely coffee as always, staff friendly and area clean. One way system in operation for cafe and worked fine. Order arrived quickly. Nice selection of plants on offer , not that I bought any on this occasion.

I. C.

Visited the restaurant for the first time this year and found the experience very good . We had a short wait of round 10 minutes in a queue and were then asked to give our details before being allocated a table. The staff were very busy and efficient but were also very pleasant-particularly Isobel. Our food was good and served quickly. Think they could probably have more staff working on a busy Friday lunchtime however. The covid procedures were all easy to follow and I would be comfortable making a return visit.

e. p.

Just love it Also the Dobbies card is one of the best cards I have ever had I buy a lot of plants and seeds - the discount just makes it the perfect price plus I earn points and get money off

M. F.

Went for a coffee. Service was really slow and I had to take my coffee back as it was lukewarm and another lady was doing the same. Just glad it was one of my free ones so I hadn't paid. Overall I feel since the refurb I feel the restaurant has gone downhill!

R. G.

Great store, lots of quality goods. Garden plants and and all that goes with it. Cards and gifts. Clothes and groceries and butcher. We enjoyed our breakfast. Good service and smiles from Isobel tasty food. A really good experience 🙂

W. C.

A large shop with a variety of items to choose from. I had no interaction with the staff until I got to the checkout! The cashier was polite and friendly. I will be going back!

I. B.

My wife and I had breakfast in the restaurant this morning. We were very impressed with the new layout and felt very safe and comfortable. The service given by the Staff who showed us to our table and waited on us at our table was excellent. Great to have you back Dobbies.

C. T.

Always enjoy being here - be it the shop or the cafe. Lovely atmosphere and staff always ready with a smile and a cheery word.

M.

Great place for buying plants and staff will even help plant them for you, they also welcome well behaved dogs too 🐕

M. F.

Good selection of plants. On hand help available.

R. D.

I only had a can of diet coke but the cafe was clean and comfortable. Never had to wait long for a table. I never used the toilets personally but the friend I was with mentioned the baby change wasn't very clean.

G. M.

Our experience was really good staff very friendly. I never give a 10

T. W.

Spent an enjoyable hour in the restaurant with excellent food in a pleasant environment and the service from Isabel - a lovely lady from Peterhead - was first class combining efficiency with a charming ability to communicate and make the meal memorable. We need more of Isabel see these days ! Tom@Gerd Webster

A. D.

It's a lovely big store with so much choice

E. K.

I've had two lovely experiences recently where our server both times was Isabel. She was lovely and friendly and I was with my Autistic brother, the first time. She went above and beyond to help us. Total superstar.

M. D.

Great helpful staff. Went in for coffee, with a disabled adult, didn't know which way to go as didn't want to walk passed the till. Karolina snapped at us we were going the wrong way and waved her arms indicating the way. The rest of the staff were so helpful. Not a pleasant start to the day.

R. M.

Another visit and again found exactly what I wanted. I usually always make sure of a visit to the splendid cafe to at least have a coffee and scone but got my timing wrong (big queue) this time. Incentive now to revisit soon.

b. m.

I like Dobbies although I find the prices a bit on the expensive side. The cafeteria is a nice place to sit & relax . Vast collection of plants & accessories. Also clothes stores inside and a nice aquarium department

R. S.

Considering the current situation with the easing of lockdown restrictions I was very surprised that very few if any staff were wearing masks which really does not set a good example to members of the public, albeit the legislation date is about a week away it would have been good to have seen staff wearing masks irrespective of what viewpoint is held. Apart from that the store has been well laid out and at the time of visiting there were many many plants and some bargains to be had. Cafeteria open for takeaway drinks etc. Toilets open as well. Staff are always helpful and friendly, a large outside and inside area full of plants etc, very good variety.

D.

An excellent venue which caters for many leisure activities. The staff are nothing but lovely, a warm welcome and really helpful what more could you ask for! A great selection of plants and garden materiel available, again, with staff willing to help. Well done Dobbies' Dunfermline, you're great! The shame is that the cafe was still closed! It could be opened and still serve drinks/prepacked food whilst maintaining distances. Most people know that's what we have to do, in the same way most folk know we can't break the law by drink driving but we don't ban all driving!! Open Dobbies' cafes now and trust people to behave like adults without the nanny state telling us what to do. For the vacuous who can't follow guidelines have staff available to point out, in a non challenging and supportive way, that they are acting irresponsibly!

m. w.

Didn't realise that Dobbies no longer has a customer service desk, no signs or information telling customers that any returns can be dealt with at any desk. As I had an item to return/exchange, I automatically took it to what I presumed was still the customer service desk. The staff member took the item (albeit, she seemed a wee bit confused by me, I now know why) and said to return with my shopping so that the exchange etc could take place. After a bit of confusion, whereby I walked past the queue, with my goods, and returned to, what I now know isn't the old customer service desk, and the staff member asked me if I'd waited in the queue? Embarrassed, I said no, at no time was anyone rude to me, however, I only got an explanation of how the system works when I'd returned to the back of the queue and waited to be served. The item I was returning for exchange was a large, bulky and heavy hedge trimmer. Using the system explained to me, please correct me if I'm missing anything, would mean me lugging said hedge trimmer through the store to get my shopping and then wait to be served with all my shopping and the item for exchange? Have I got this right? In days of old, and I do appreciate we're all living in very challenging and changed circumstances, it wouldn't be the norm to carry items around the store, evenwith a valid receipt. I have no issues queuing, especially as the queue is got through very efficiently, I just dislike being confused and resulting in me making a fool of myself.

I. N.

It was cold at the table we had ,too cold to take coats off!! But other than that we enjoyed our coffee . It won't stop us coming back as limited for choice in our area

Z. S.

Just love this place! Had a traditional scottish breakfast which was lovely and a good price. Got 2 free coffees with my Dobbies card too 😊 Then I had a great time looking at their lovely christmas stuff. They have some really nice children's books too.

F. L.

Helpful staff, but it did take a while for someone to show up. Rather small stock but was told delivery's are on a Thursday, it was only Monday tho. Been to the store now 5 times and so far all been great apart from first time.

D. F.

Great breakfast. Friendly helpful staff.

J. P.

Good quality produce friendly staff plenty of choice products relax shopping experience some good bargains to be had in the plant section

k. b.

Dobbies Dunfermine is worth visit just now, lots of summer gear in as you would expect. Flower part is well stocked. Social distancing is being observed and sufficiant parking. Resturant remains booking only for main meals, coffee shop no booking required, tables could do with a clean as very sticky?

S. H.

Not as good as it used to be and there seems to be a lot less for the house and garden. Cafe not as good as it used to be. Always queues for the tills so just put stuff down and left. Generally worse under new ownership

b. s.

Went out for a coffee and a look at the plants available and as usual enjoyed the coffee and spent loads on plants. Lovely afternoon out.

m. m.

Only really 3.5 stars. The shop is just like any other dobbies. Good quality but a bit pricey. Went for lunch with friend (been a few times before) and as always the service was rubbish. They have a pager system for the hot food I'm assuming to make it quicker but it's not. Never enough staff to cope and only 1 till on when I went. The tables are often dirty due to what seems like lack of staff too. Baby high chair was caked in old food which had dried in on the sides but food was nice. They have a soft play area for kids now which is great but I think the £3.50 admission is a bit much for what's there, especially for the under 3s bit.

h. f.

Everything looked good, food was fine and staff were excellent.

L. B.

Went here today with my mum and sister for an afternoon tea. Absolute bargain! And it was lovely aswell. Only £8 I think my sister said for the traditional option and and extra couple pound for a deluxe option that had extra nibbles. Plus you could tell them when you booked online if you would prefer a type of sandwich to be omitted and swapped for an extra one of the other options (no salmon for me, thanks 🤢😃) . We all went for a high tea somewhere fancy in Edinburgh last year and there was definitely on the plates today than there was at the fancy one! Would definitely recommend and will likely return! more

E. A.

Dobbies has a great choice of plants for garden and home and if you are looking for and unusual gift for someone dobbies is the place to go.

S. S.

Good garden centre with a wide range of indoor and outdoor plants, gardening tools and accessories and other home items. Car park was severely flooded when we visited, which is to be expected after heavy rain given they apparently didn't build in any drainage, so might not be possible to park directly outside on those days which could cause issues if you have items to load into the car. Other than that minor gripe it was well laid out and well worth a visit.

S. “. E.

Usual garden centre, only with 3rd world toilets (either that they sre forgotten about)

S. D.

It was good to be able to take our wee dog round with us because there's no available shade in the car park.

D. M.

Not too busy. Food was good, staff pleasant also in the restaurant part they have dog friendly tables at the rear also plenty of outdoor seating. Will be back

D. D.

First time in a cafe since lockdown started and felt very safe. Isobel (our waitress) was very helpful, friendly and went out of her way to ensure that we felt comfortable and had everything we needed.

A. H.

Wee Scottish breakfast and scrambled egg on toast were delicious, served by Isobel & Sarah who were friendly and very helpful.

C.

Great shop to buy some plants from. Have bought a few fish too which are kept in the back garden. There is a large selection of sheds and green houses out the back of various sizes and you may be able to get an ex display model at a discounted price. Missing star as the shop is pretty expensive, particularly the cafe and the food section.

D. G.

Just back from another 5 star visit to dobbies in Dunfermline for breakfast with family and friends. The service from entering the building to finally having the breakfast at the table was first class. All covid virus rules we adhered to and were easy to follow. I must add the service we had once again from Mel and Sharon at the restaurant was terrific and really appreciated. The restaurant is well laid out as is the corridors, well marked out for 2 metres distancing.

M. S.

Great shop. Friendly, helpful staff.

A. C.

Very good garden centre with wide selection. Also has Edinburgh Woollen Mill on site, supplies for fish, brilliant Puddledub butcher and a mini Sainsbury's

P. S.

Good range of gardening equipment, plants and seeds, a small food hall and fish tanks/shop, toys & gifts. Old cafe used to feel like a treat, but after its revamp cafe now has very long queues and less atmosphere than a North Sea ferry.

B. M.

Loved going there to pick up fresh Scones and frozen cook at home pastries. Now it is disappointing as the food section is now Sainsbury's

K. J.

Nice and clean, friendly staff. Good selection of garden things, as expected, sainsbury in store and the restaurant is open again so coffee and goodies await!! Mmmm.

H. H.

Good soft play area but be aware of the unadvertised entry fee of £3.50 per child. This is not posted anywhere, so I got stung with this 30 minutes before closing. If I'd known I'd have steared the kids to the free outside play area.

S. A.

Had a disappointìng dish in the restaurant but Isobel more than made up for it with the exceptional service . I will definitely go back (just not for the beef chilli dish). Great Garden Centre as well.

D. B.

Good coffee,well organised,but scones are very dry,should be made in smaller batches so they are warm for the customer.

h. d.

A great day out for family food available hot or cold plenty to look at well worth visiting

L. B.

At the soft play this morning we felt almost harassed by the staff member on duty. She made an already stressful situation even more stressful with unhelpful comments and said that because our babies, who had been asleep, were now awake we had to leave our prams with all our things in them outside. She then proceeded to clear away from our table that had jackets and shoes at it our unfinished tea and biscuits whilst we were in the soft play area. When we told her we hadn’t finished she blamed another colleague, who we never saw, and then walked away whilst my friend was talking to her. Absolutely no people skills and clearly no idea how to speak to or help children. Since posting this review I have been contacted by customer services and would like to thank Tracy for contacting me and offering complimentary soft play with tea and cakes 👍🏻 I appreciate you following up my review ad look forward to visiting again.

K. H.

Staff at tills and in cafe were great very helpful. Food in cafe was excellent, always enjoy walk round Dobbies

e. m.

Fantastic selection of Beautiful plants and Trees , you can actually spend glorious hours searching through flowers and Gorgeous Succulents with additional choices of plant pots and beautiful garden and home furnishings with an added extra of a cafeteria for snacks. / meals . Love this place . Large Parking area and a lovely wee playground for the children . Now that's what I call a fantastic day out for the family . Highly recommended this .

M. M.

It's a beautiful place! My breakfast was perfect. Thank you all!

K. R.

Dobbies do an very good breakfast but there are usually so few staff available to serve and take payment that by the time you sit down to eat your food has gone cold. The shop is useful for the occasional gift but many items are overpriced and can be sourced for less elsewhere.

A. S.

Everyone knows that it's the café that makes a good chunk of revenue at a "garden centre" nowadays, so I was rather shocked to ask for a bacon roll at 10.30am to be told "We're out of rolls, you can have toast". For a place this size, that sounds like appalling management to me. Edit: shame the branch at Dalgety Bay is closing down, small and friendly versus big and sterile. Hopefully the employees are being transferred to Duloch and they can inject some quality.

L. P.

Great food. Table service due to Covid. Fast service. A little dearer but well worth it

E. W.

I was actually there for maidenhead fishkeeper shop

P. L.

Had wonderful afternoon tea so much to eat was stuffed it was really scrumptious well done Dobbies

D. S.

Wanted to buy Rolls of Turf but Dobbie's 'Garden' Centre do not stock this item at all!? Good Coffee & Scone though.

T. S.

Glad it open ,good in plants large queues but quick at going down , coffee and tea only with cakes , menu services are back to a form of normal ,the things you need to do is sign up for there clubcard it worth it for the coffee or teas every month

m. d.

Santa was lovely very kind. Elves were great as well. Very cold though so wrap up. My grandson screamed the whole visit he was frightened only 20 months old.

B. V.

Really nice large cafe, service was good, coffee and tea was nice but both cakes tastes burnt which was a disappointment as they looked lovely.

L. O.

Soft play quite good although needs to be monitored as older children are being allowed to use it and frightening wee ones. Coffee area in soft play is constantly a mess and table are not cleared certainly not for the hour plus we were there

A. M.

Lovely cafe lovely shop got some plants and dome goodies. V nice couple of hours

R. M.

Lovely afternoon tea at Dobbies in Dunfermline. Lovely sandwiches, scones and cakes. Thanks to Isobel for her caring and service really enjoyed our lovely surprise.

M. F.

It was ok, there are some nice pastries and cake options, the staff was ok... Unfortunately there's no menu, anywhere... I asked and the cashier mentioned a few but with the mask everything was muffled up and you can't lean over to hear better, it all was rather annoying so... I just didn't know what to order, I ended up ordering a flat white, which was nice but I would have liked to see options.

l. b.

Everything you need and more for the garden and house. Cafe is very good with lovely and friendly helpful staff

M. D.

It's a really lovely place, very clean, well laid out, nice outside seating, plenty of space for 2 metre distancing either walking or sitting, very much nicer than Lasswade Dobbies.

M. C.

Disappointed with the car parking due to the length of time it's taking to sort out. Its also been taken over by Xmas. Restaurant was impossible as the queue was horrendous and not immpessed by the manner in which we are told we would have to wait and look around the centre.

R. F.

Very expensive items. Way over priced. Staff not really friendly. Cafe mish mash, no face mask on staff member.

P. O.

Mixed visit fish and chips lovely and hot but sadly my wifes burger meal was cold. They said a replacement was on the way but after 20 mins wait and no meal my wife left upset

R. M.

Great service, apart one older lady behind the sandwich station who looked and my sister and I approaching and turned away. Fair to say I didn't get my sandwich but got that coffee! The four stars are for the guy at the counter who cracked me up with his cheeriness and jokes 👌🏽

A. C.

Very good, lovely set out plenty things to look at and buy, picked up weed killer top was broken and liquid burned my skin, but plenty hand sanitizer to wash off quickly.

A. A.

Better today than last time coffee was hot

M. R.

A separate till in Sainsburies is needed, even a self serve till. I refuse to wait in a huge queue to pay for a few items. Sainsbury have mises out several times

G. S.

Great choices for all things gardening. Grab a coffee or do your necessary provisions shop too.

j. d.

Well stocked, clean, Good variety, queues at checkouts

J. S.

Luke warm coffee served in the children's play area :( When its extremely busy only one member of staff on No tables cleared just chaos Now its quiet they put two members of staff on who stand and glare at you Then make it obvious they are talking about you - Especially the older blonde one We are paying customers Smile and be nice to us or go and be retrained or work elsewhere You are not making people feel welcome and are certainly not a people person maybe working with plants so you do not have to communicate with them would be more appropriate for you Dobbies beautiful new interior Shame about some of the staff Are Management doing spot checks or under cover customers?

J. J.

Great cafe, great variety of plants and garden equipment

J. A.

Restaurant needs distancing measures put in place, left the queue as people were far too close and breathing down my neck. Shop is set up fine.

G. A.

Lovely garden centre with lots of gifts cards toys household lovely cafe very popular with young and old worth a trip 😊🌷🌴🌼🌳🌿😊à

P.

Great garden centre, great choices , plenty parking in house sainsbury's mini mart. Happy to see it open again after so long.

D. M.

Great range of items in store..friendly helpful staff..nice coffee shop...overall a nice shopping experience..you won't find any bargains though..prices for everything are high.

K. F.

Went to use my birthday treat today at dunfermline got two scones and tea Was charged 3.20 for the butter for the scones so ot wasnt a free birthday treat. 3.20 for butter is out of order

B. D.

Expensive for what it is. Basic below average cafe food and for some unknown reason above average cafe prices. OK if your starving and already in the garden centre but not worth stopping in otherwise.

M. M.

Big selection of indoor and outdoor plants. Always been happy with the quality of plants from here. Great for aquarium supplies and tropical fish also.

J. L.

Very well organised, not too busy things moving quickly, people (on the whole) respecting social distancing. Pleasant difference from Dunfermline Town centre at the mo

L. J.

Really lovely ladies in the restaurant, good food, well laid out shop. Fantastic service.

S. n.

Great Christmas displays with interactive reindeer and a Santa. A small Sainsberrys inside as well as pet supplies and some household items besides the usual plants and gardening.

C. B.

Great place for a Sunday afternoon 😀. Always had great experience in this store. Very well maintained,clean and tidy.

e. t.

Great place for coffee and catch up with friends service great staff friendly also overall great experience

S. M.

Rory our springer spaniel has had a lovely time at Dobbies. Special thanks to Julie for making us all feel so welcome. We enjoyed our scones and coffee.

m. c.

Great lunch, lovely menu and reasonable price. Chicken salad was amazing. Thanks to Isobel for her service.

c. t.

Had a lovely trip to Dobbies Dunfermline, I didn't realise they had a sale on,, so I managed to finish my Xmas shopping in one shop. Great choice ranging from food to furniture and everything in-between.

G. B.

Nicely set out store with lots of choice from home decor to basic groceries. A wide selection of garden equipment and plants.

D. S.

Lots of variety from gardening to home ware and food and some nice range from sainsburys. Great place to visit and plenty of gift ideas.

P. W.

Really good store with all kinds of cool stuff. Seems expensive but definitely some bargains if you look closely.

P. S.

The restraint has been updated but was let down by simple things, no mushy peas, no sticky toffee pudding, and the waffle was rock hard and inedible, but there was no hesitation to compensate us for their short comings

J. P.

First time I visited dunfermline centre. Fantastic choice of merchandise. Even a food hall and an excellent local butcher. Great selection of very healthy plants. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful.

n. c.

It was a treat to be there again! All shopping available and coffee and cakes at outside tables. Lovely face-masks (washable) on sale.

J.

Love going for breakfast. When using their Dobbies loyalty card, it's very good value for money. It has a great. Selection of gifts and plants.

R. F.

Great place where meeting with friends, food is very good and staff is very friendly and helpful . Covid measures respected throughout the center. I love going around and look the flower and plants .

E. F.

Lovely cream scones and coffee. Well organised and all precautions being taken, felt safe and comfortable.

A. G.

It is a good place to spend a leisurely afternoon out pluses a very good restaurant

P. G.

Huge place, great variety but expensive

C. C.

Dobbies is a good garden centre with a large selection of plants available. Restaurant food is okay but service is either excellent or mediocre.

N. B.

Food is never hot enough but soup always good and hot. My favourite is the soup and sandwich deal. Good value. Agree that other food is pricey. Staff helpful.

J. I.

I use the restaurant a lot and find the staff to be excellent and the prices reasonable.

B. G.

Great garden Centre. Something for everyone and plenty of free parking

K. T.

So many beautiful things to see in here. Lovely and clean too. Plenty parking, staff very helpful 👍

G. E.

Fantastic visit will be had by all. This place is a joy to behold during the winter months also great locally produced deli area. Resteraunt is of a high standard highly recommended.

C. M.

Probably the worst Dobbies I have been to with a limited selection of drooping indoor plants. The plant pot selection is extremely poor also. Go to Livingston.

M. P.
