Cafe at Dobbies, Dundee


CAFE AT DOBBIES GARDEN CENTRE DUNDEE

Cafe at Dobbies Garden Centre in Dundee

The cafe is modern looking and spotlessly clean. It is on the first floor giving it a more pleasant outlook compared to most other cafes.


The food at the cafe good, not excellent but definitely good. There was a full range of filled hot potatoes, toasties and paninis from £4 to £5. When we visited there were three main course specials (not served after 3 pm) on offer at £6 to £8. Salads were also there at £4.50 to £6.95. Coffees and teas were good as were the selection of cakes. There were no queues at the time of our visit.

The cafe was on the first floor with views from one end over the plants area. As well as indoor seating there was a very pleasant outdoor seating area for sunny days.

Wheelchair users weren't forgotten. Access to the first floor was provided by a lift as well as stairs.

Service was exceptional, the cafe staff being very attentive and accommodating.

HOUSE PLANTS
House plants There was a good number of houseplants on offer and they all looked in good condition. Some thought had gone into the display making it attractive. Prices were about average.

AQUATICS AND PETS
Aquatics centre There were no live pets for sale. The aquatics centre sold a good number of fish, accessories and feeds.

Outside there was an area for pond plants and fresh water fish. All were in good condition.
