Blossoms Bistro/Coffee Shop, Larbert in Falkirk

Nice clean restaurant good menu food was lovely and hot Attentive staff and child friendly toilets were clean with hot water

Visited today for a treat of coffee and cake and it was the most terrible quality. The cakes were overly sweet and sickly rather than pleasant and I asked for coffee with a syrup which ended up being half a cup of syrup making it impossible to drink. Spoon supplied with the coffee was also not clean and when I went to buy water to replace the coffee the glass I was supplied was disgusting as if it had never been washed so I drank out of the bottle. For what we received it was overpriced and not like it used to be, we understand that cakes should be sweet but his was sugar overload leaving us feeling rather unwell. Won’t be back again and wished I had driven 5 minutes further to get better quality and service from Starbucks based in the hospital grounds.

Introduced my friend to this establishment. We were not disappointed. On the hot counter there was an impressive array of food choices but we opted for toasties and lentil and vegetable soup, I chose cheese and onion for my filling and coleslaw on the side. To follow we shared carrot cake washed down with diet irn bru. Would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone and will definetely come back.

Was visiting with friends bank holiday Monday and my experience was dreadful! Thankfully I did not have my children with me - the foul language used by the chef in the kitchen was disgusting. Potty mouthed and utterly shameful, I have watched Gordon Ramsay programs and she would give him a run for his money. The place was very busy which I understand on days like today but absolutely no excuse for what we witnessed on that day. Service from the lady’s in front of house was much more pleasant. Impressive home baking and a good hot coffee. Managed a table (luckily) after being throughly cleaned by a fine young man. I would return with anticipation given what we heard.

Excellent food with great value for money. The chef ‘Sue’ makes the best apple pie I’ve EVER tasted with a special mention to Carol our server who was so friendly, couldn’t do enough, on the whole a 12/10. A definite thumbs up from us all

Would recommend the soups. Thats one thing I always take because the variety is super. Home baking is always a treat. Staff are always welcoming and the boys who keep tables clean are exceptional.

Chaotic, rude and poor service - something has changed. Arrived around 1045 for breakfast and discovered there was no bacon. Massive que that didn't seemed to move and oblivious tension between staff. Orders place and number issued. After a 20 minute wait still no order. Seemed we had been forgotten. Approached desk to be told take a seat. They shouted back what's your order again.... Sorry we are busy the excuse. As a regular it was quiet. Something has changed. Think we will be changing where we have breakfast in future. Visit with caution

The food was so disappointing. We ordered a baked potato with prawn Marie rose. The potato was undercooked. We also had the Cajun chicken burger, which wasn’t actually a burger - it was a full chicken breast that I think had been deep fried, even the outside of the brioche bun was greasy. Another member of our party had the macaron cheese which they couldn’t fault. Tables hasn’t been cleared so we had to clear one ourselves to be able to sit down and eat. Normally we would have complained about the food but we were visiting someone in the hospital close by and had to get back to them quickly.

Very disappointing visit for lunch as although the cafe itself was big and very clean and reasonably comfortable the menu was boring and the sandwiches which we had were nothing short of purely monotonious, made and served with nothing except the chosen filling on boring bread, no salad or crisps eg added to the plate or into the sandwich itself. Smacked of easy, use chicken and add it into whatever sauce the customer has chosen and slap it on brown or white bread. The soup we had was really nice and I would give them full marks for this but alas would not return I am sorry to say and we had made a special trip from Fife to visit the garden centre

Lovely food and service, the quiche and salad was really good and my wife said she really enjoyed the steak pie (packed full of meat) Prices are slightly more expensive than the norm…and I refused to buy a wee bottle of irn bru at £2.45 !… what a mark up on that.

I went for afternoon tea for Mothers Day with my two daughters, I really can't praise it enough. The food and the service was excellent. They really do have a good team there, everyone was so helpful and friendly and I loved the memory tree ❤️ the little plants were an added bonus ❤️

We booked Christmas Lunch and the service and meal was first class! The soup options and the prawn cocktail starters were excellent followed by the best Christmas meal I have had in a restaurant, we all thoroughly enjoyed it! We will book again for Christmas 2023!

Have always enjoyed our afternoon outing for coffee and a scone until recently The scones were always under cover (don't know if this was Covid related) However they are now on a cake stand in the open. Now people in the queue pass by in very close proximity. Kind of off putting

We visited Blossom restaurant in the Torwood garden centre recently just as they were preparing for close down. My father is diabetic and his blood sugar level had dropped quickly so we needed to get him something to eat. Jackie went out of her way to make him a sandwich. In fact she made sandwiches for the three of us despite the kitchen being closed. All the staff in this restaurant were friendly and empathetic. The service was fantastic and a credit to the garden centre. Many thanks ❤️

We visited at 1.00 p.m. when the restaurant was very busy. There were lots of staff on duty all of whom were pleasant and courteous. We were served quickly and our table was cleared and cleaned before we sat down. Our meals were brought to our table in less than 10 minutes. We had Cajun chicken wrap and baked potato with chicken mayonnaise. Both were very tasty and enjoyable. The restaurant is bright, modern and very clean. The toilets were modern and spotlessly clean, quite remarkable given the probable number of customers using them today. A very good experience and a visit is highly recommended.

Has a lovely afternoon tea this afternoon. And big shout out to the member of staff who cleared up the floor when my friend accidentally knocked over her teapot. He was so kind and understanding.

Positives: The service was great, really quick despite being fairly busy and the staff seemed friendly. Nice large room, spaced out really well so it’s not overwhelmingly noisy. Carrot cake was tasty. Good selection of cakes and coffees Negatives: pretty expensive, I got a cajun wrap that was either 7 or 8 and didn’t even come with chips or crisps. Had a wee side salad and sloppy coleslaw. The wrap itself was pretty tasteless and very sloppy as well. Would come back for coffee and cake but probably not for lunch

I regularly come with my youngest daughter for coffee and a wee snack. I drink decaf quite a bit and the decaf blend here is excellent. The cakes are good, they’ll do a plastic cup of milk or a babycino for the wee one and it’s a nice place to sit and relax. Baby chairs provided, quick service and nice people. Would recommend!

Had a delicious Christmas lunch today with the best mince pie ever, filled to the brim in lovely pastry. Helpful friendly servers brought food and drink to the table.

I understand there is a pandemic and minimum contact is essential but manners cost nothing . Once sitting outside it was very pleasant but my day could have been better with nicer mannered staff

The wife and I had a booking here to use up gift vouchers for afternoon tea. We were immediately taken to our table for our covid experience. Track and trace forms were put down for us to complete. Then a waitress came and took our order. The wife is gluten free but was able to make choices from what was available. Shortly afterwards our food arrived. I had tuna with cucumber, egg mayonnaise, and ham and tomato along with mini iced cakes a fresh cream choux pastry bun and a scone with jam and butter, The wife had egg mayonnaise included in her choice with gluten free bread and what looked like gluten free carrot cake. The wife had coffee and I opted for sugar free irn bru which was perfectly chilled. The wife finished off with a sugar free irn bru which counted as a refill so we were not charged. We were delighted with the food and service more so the fact we did not have to pay any extra above our vouchers. We would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone and will definitely return.

Very disappointed that government guidance re table service not being adhered to.We left before entering

We went for lunch, sandwich and cake was good. I needed gluten free baked potato no butter. It arrived after about 10 minutes. The beans were disgusting clearly left over from breakfast.

Went for lunch today, customers were having having to clear tables that were not being wiped down or were using tissues and their own hand sanitiser to clean them, people wandering around with trays of hot drinkis with no place to lay them down, mentioned to waitress when she brought out food that table need cleaned but she was not interested. Food was just okay. Won't be in a hurry to return.

First time out since lockdown, place was well organised with track and trace, one way systems, and all the staff wearing masks. We were made very welcome from the lovely gentleman at the door with some friendly banter, ordered hot food and drinks, food was good and all the staff really nice and pleasant. Have been before and will definitely be back. Well done to all

Today was our first post lockdown visit, really disappointed and didn't even get served. Out with mum and as We hadn't booked, staff asked it is was okay for us to sit outside and being a nice day that was fine.Three couples sat outside after us, and were attended too as they were to the left hand seating area and this was the doors the girls were using, we were sat to the right. We weren't in a major rush, but after fifteen minutes wait, and not being able to get either of the girls attention we left as did the couple who had arrived before us.We have been coming to Blossons for years, and really hope that some kind of organisation can sort things out. We will know to reserve next time and maybe receive better attention.

I don't find the staff particularly helpful or friendly. they dont offer to help if you have a tray and a pram etc.the staff can also be abrupt and quite rude.

Had a lovely Lunch today! Plenty to choose from and nice atmosphere. I’ll be back visiting soon.Always busy and a popular place to visit and have a tea & coffee!

What a fabulous Garden Centre and Restaurant this is. We were looking for somewhere to stop for a bit to eat between a journey from the Falkirk Wheel and stopping off to visit friends in Pitcorthie – this was a perfect place.It being busy clearly demonstrated how popular it was.I only had a Cappuccino, but my husband had a scrummy open Bacon and Tomato Toasted Bread slice, a delicious Bakewell Slice and a pot of tea.I enjoyed a good browse around the shop, and would have spent longer if we hadn’t been heading to visit the friends.Shall visit again when we are in the area.

I popped in for a coffee. This is a big coffee shop and restaurant attached to a busy garden centre. Decent coffee. I didn’t eat food. Lots of free parking.

Although we know folk who lunch here regularly we only visit once in a while when we are at the Garden Centre. We have never been disappointed and always enjoy the food. It's not "Fine Dining" it's just honest good food in an honest setting with no frills. What more could you ask for?

Good range of food available in this garden centre with lovely coffees and cakes. We were a party of 3 and each enjoyed our delicious food. Would recommend.

Have been coming here for many years. Went in for lunch today and saw the notice that animals will be allowed in the Cafe. Totally unhygienic. Walked out and won't be back.

We’ve had a number of lunches and snacks here and so far we’ve had lovely, well priced food and drink. It would be even better if there were an ‘official’ procedure for cold meal buyers to pass those waiting on hot food ( saving an embarrassing dodge-by ) but that happens elsewhere so it hasn’t stopped us returning so far. Oh, and the tables are kept clean, always, so that gives it an excellent !

Had a lovely lunch today with my friend. Nice freshly made sandwich’s tea& latte and jam & cream scone. We will be back again soon.

Popped in for brunch with friends as usual the food is very good, fresh and well presented, price is reasonable staff are excellent.

We went on Saturday afternoon and the place was sheer havoc.All we wanted was two teas and two scones.We had to stand in a queue with people buying meals.We were watching the staff and none of them were in control. Staff seemed stressed.When we sat down at our table my husband had to go up twice to see if the teaspoons had been replenished,our milk jug had a shallow drop of milk in it and after we were settled we noticed then we hadn't any cups and saucers either.The whole system seemed disorganized.

Went with a friend and didn't realise you had to queue up like school dinners. The food was running out, yes at 1pm, and all that was left was baked potatoes.

My husband and I went to have breakfast after I just had my scan. As I have been fasting since the night before, I was starving and just its nearer to the FVRH. We ordered all-day breakfast which is consisting of 5 items of your choosing and toast. separate payment for the tea, and if you want extra on your plate you have to pay more. The order came into our table, and there is only 2 loaves/slice of toast. What! So we ask for another one and they told us if we want to have another two loaves of bread we have to pay for £1. It's just so disappointing and it has not been made clear to people that it is only 1 loaf of bread on all-day breakfast. They didn't even apologize to us. Another issue is that they have taken all away all the cruet set on each table, and replaced it with a sachet of condiment with their supplier's name on it. For me, this bistro & coffee shop is turning into a corporate mentality.

I have had a few coffee breaks at Blossoms and have been very happy with the service and the staff are very friendly. The scones are very nice and fresh and the coffee is lovely.

We booked to have picnic tea for two, and on arriving we were greeted by Janet, who was pleasant and looked after us. Once we paid for our food, Janet showed us to our table and took our order for tea and coffee, and asked what flavour milkshake we wanted. She explained that as the food was cooked fresh we may have a small wait, we were not worried as we had plenty of time. The food was served on a small picnic table as you can see from the photos there was plenty of good food there. I have to say that both my partner and myself both enjoyed our meal this afternoon. We were too full to eat our cakes, so Janet put them in a box for us to take home, she also asked if we wanted another tea and coffee or a cool drink. We opted for the cool drink. We really enjoyed our afternoon tea and would recommend coming here, the staff are friendly and happy.

I booked a picnic tea for two today and can say we were not disappointed! As soon as we walked into the cafe we were shown to our table and our drinks order was taken. A short time later the assistant manager and Janet who was the lovely supervisor brought the meal over to the table and all we could say was ‘wow’! We already had been given tea and coffee, and now we had two banana milkshakes, two freshly prepared mini beef burgers, two mini pizzas, two mini quiches, bucket of wedges, salad, coleslaw, mayonnaise and relish. We also had 6 individual mini cakes . Unfortunately we had no room for the cakes but this was not a problem as they were placed into a box for us to take home. We also had a further drink prior to leaving. If anyone fancies a treat then I would highly recommend booking in for this picnic tea as it is well worth the money and the staff at Blossoms are lovely.

Advertised as "Cafe of the Year 2019" and as far as I am concerned this is far from the truth!

Have visited Blossoms on many occasions and been quite satisfied with their offerings.. Unfortunately on our most recent visit standards have fallen... On being served we watched our food being plated, then stood waiting as the server loud mouthedly chatted with someone further back in the que, whilst still holding our plates. Once seated found there was no usual compliment of salt, pepper & condiments. Only a small container with sugar sachets. On asking one of the passing staff, he pointed out salt & pepper is also in tiny sachets somewhere amid the sugar. They used to have proper cruet, but not this. There was only 1 salt in the container and no pepper, so had to pinch one off a nearby table. Another customer had to ask a server if he could have some brown sauce... Why do we now have to chase after the most basic requirement. Is this some daft money saving exercise, or lets have a tidy table modern approach?? To top all the chips served were bland and slightly under cooked, no doubt low on cholesterol, but also flavour. It's a case of the little things count but on this visit were omitted.

This is a lovely garden centre and we normally go for lunch in the cafe. Today we went for lunch, daughter had soup, noticed straight away lady lifted the roll from a basket. No tongs, no gloves. I had hot baguette, lifted it on to a plate. Again no tongs or gloves. I don’t like people handling my food especially as I had just watched her cleaning worktops. The lady who I think is the manager saw this and knew I wasn’t happy but said nothing. Probably should have said something but didn’t want to make a scene

I regularly visit Blossoms for a spot of lunch with family or friends but on my last two visits I was disgusted by the behaviour of staff members.One young lady,I believe her name is Denny or Demi?,was cursing and swearing behind the counter and then took a temper tantrum and stormed off into the garden center.On my second visit the same young lady was standing behind the counter with a young chef who had his hand on her bottom.What shocked me was the fact the manageress was standing a few feet away and could clearly see what was happening but did nothing.The chef then went back to the kitchen and started handling food without washing his hands.Not the standards I had come to expect from Blossoms..Perhaps it’s time to find a more respectable place to have lunch.

This cafe is very busy. We all just chose a variety of different cakes and had tea. There was an excellent selection of cakes to choose from. The staff were friendly and it was reasonably priced.

My wife and I visited Blossoms Coffee Shop for lunch before purchasing some perennials in its parent Garden Centre (Torwood).

Fresh food served with a smile from a very friendly young Irish Lady with a very friendly personality and a lovely Nortern Irish Accent.

Went to see torwood for the first time on sunday.

No matter what time of day Blossoms is always busy. Large enough that seating is never a problem. Friendly staff are available to help make a choice if unsure what to choose. Their soup is always delicious and varied. Selection of freshly made sandwiches all the way to main meals are on offer. They keep the flow of customising by giving a number if hot food is ordered and it is then delivered to the table. Always a great choice of cakes on offer. Would recommend whether it’s a quick bite to eat or meeting friends for a leisurely lunch.

Regularly come here for cake and a cuppa but 5 of us arrived for mothers day. Food selection and quality excellent and plenty of tables. Macaroni cheese got big thumbs up. Soup really tasty and cakes all homemade. Staff really helpful and friendly. Right next to garden centre and gift shop, lovely wee afternoon out. Will be back.

In for the opening of the bistro along with several other customers. Well appointed cafe in an interesting garden centre. Not the most inviting entrance from where we parked on the lower level but potential customers should not be put off.

I visited this cafe today and was delighted to find that they have a separate dog friendly cafe. I ordered a latte, the guy that served me was very pleasant, however, the Latte was awful. The guy that served me had gone and another member of staff had entered the area. I explained to her that I thought that my latte hadn’t been made properly so she made me another. The second one was just as awful, more like a watery black coffee, not milky at all so I had to leave it. It was too burnt tasting to drink. I told the woman that it was no better and it wasn’t fit for drinking so I’d have to leave it. I was NOT offered a refund and left the cafe £2.45 worse off and with a bitter horrible taste in my mouth. Very disappointing as the main cafe serves lattes and they have never been horrible like this. This is a poor 2nd rate cafe for people with dogs...not worth the visit unless they are going to serve the same drinks as the main cafe. I won’t be back unless I hear this has happened. Great idea to be pet friendly like Dobbies, it’s just a shame it lacks quality.

Standard Garden Centre fare (the cafe is in the Torwood Garden Centre), but the surroundings are pleasant, the soup's good and the in-store baked tarts and cakes are tasty. The cafe itself is large but laid out in such a way that it doesn't feel cavernous.

Blossom cafe is part of the Torwood Garden Centre which seems to be popular in it's own right with many people making a trip just to eat.

We often go for Sunday brunch. Their cakes are awesome. Food is nicely prepared and service staff are friendly.

Like many bistros located with garden centres, Blossoms is popular and busy throughout the day. There is a good selection of food and there is a large seating area available : prices are as you would expect in such an establishment.

nice food fantastic staff a bit costly would be great if they done boiled potatoes aswell as chips soups are always good but steakpie is nice so is the macoroni cheese but would be great if they done other hot meals we use the place aound 2 / times a week to take the motherinlaw out for food

We were given an Afternoon Tea Gift Voucher from a neighbour for our Golden Wedding. Booked ahead, and so when we arrived and showed our GV, we were immediately taken to a reserved table. Our Afternoon Tea arrived very quickly; 3 choices of sandwiches, 1 fruit and one plain scone with jam and cream as well, and choice of 5 assorted cakes. Tea pots were replenished as we needed. Janet and her staff were very attentive, polite and friendly! We'll be back!

This a smashing wee cafe attached to the garden centre. It’s locally owned and run, provides jobs for local youngsters. The breakfasts are great and good value. Well worth a visit.

The only thing that lets the breakfast down is the plates could we doing with being a lot warmer before the food is served onto them

Decided to just have lunch as I was in garden centre .

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at local garden centre - always meet local people we know as it is very popular. Christmas displays in garden centre are just lovely. Food was hot fresh and tasty. Home baking great and lovely coffees. Always busy but can always get a seat too.

was there as a family of five it was not too busy, they could do with a menu board before you get to the counter to give time to decide what you want. we were still placing our food order when the lady at the drinks counter started to shout looking for our drinks order didn't get time to think or ask the rest of the family what they wanted seemed very rushed as a result only got to pick 3 cakes and she had counted up the order and looking for payment. this is the second visit and on both occasions the same rushing last time we chose toasties this time we chose meals wish we had stuck to toasties as the meals weren't too good

The cafe itself looks lovely - if only the treatment customers received from the staff was the same. The food is simple, soup, toasties, sandwiches and a few hot meals. As there isn’t a menu showing what fillings are “allowed” on a toastie or panini (I just looked at the baked potato fillings shown on a board) and asked for a chicken mayo panini - wow! I wish I had never bothered. The woman who was serving looked at me like I had 2 heads. Then told me that they wouldn’t do that. I responded saying that i’ve had it in many places before - she then continued to look at me like I was nuts and tell me that the mayo splits so I shouldn’t have that. By this point the queue behind me was growing - she then offered to ask in the kitchen (meaning she was going to shout to the kitchen staff who then shouted over to me that they wouldn’t do this due to the mess it makes on the machine - fair enough, that’s all she had to say). But this delightful woman didn’t leave it there - she then told me again that I wasn’t to “cook” mayo (it’s 1 minute on a machine, it’s hardly going to cook. You put mayo in curry and people don’t bat an eye...), that she has worked in this industry for 30 years and you don’t do that, but I could have tuna mayo if I wanted!! Oh and if I wanted a chicken panini and a cold pot of mayo to dip that would be ok - and she look at me like I was nuts?!?! I then went to pick a cake for my 3 year old then went back to pay and heard her talking about me!! To people in the kitchen and in front of other customers and myself! Absolutely shocking! The only person there who actually seemed to have any degree of sense was Jamie from the kitchen. I actually had to call my cousin after this event and check that I wasn’t the only crazy person asking for chicken mayo on a panini! I can send in many pictures of menus from other cafe’s showing it on the menu if this helps with this woman’s retraining?

I have used this café a few times when visiting the garden centre. The breakfast is good value and decent enough. However, I think the cakes let it down. They never seem fresh and I always leave thinking I can make better. Staff are always friendly. Can be busy which results in food or drinks not being as hot as they could be. Some special offers are more expensive than buying the individual components!

Exceedingly busy venue, but service was good. We had the soup and roll, lovely, then a different cake each with tea. Nothing to complain about, and the garden centre is great too.

Since the cafe has been re-designed, it is much better. Before that, long queues would occur as there were not enough staff manning the tills, but now there are two counters, each with tills and things move along much better. The seating area is fairly basic, but on a good day you can sit outside which is very nice. The food is pretty good offering a range of soups, sandwiches, hot food and cakes. Prices are fairly average.

Was here as part of a group for lunch. Our tables were booked in advance and were waiting for us when we arrived. Some of us had pre ordered steak pie which was just as well as they ran out as we arrived but we were ok. The steak pie was full of flavor and the meat was very tender. I washed mine down with diet irn bru. I finished off with scone butter and jam from those who had high tea. Overall an excellent experience. I would recommend this establishment to anyone and will keep coming back.

Excellent Service and friendly Staff. Very efficient and lunch was lovely. Would thoroughly recommend

This is a fantastic cafe, tucked away in a popular garden centre. The staff are all lovely and the food is first rate. We pop in quite a bit and it’s always busy but the queue moves quickly and there’s plenty seating. Cakes are delish, sandwiches fresh and hot food good. I’ve even nipped in after being at the nearby Forth Valley Royal Hospital! Can’t recommend highly enough and hope they win Best Cafe of 2018!

My friends and I visited the garden centre for lunch as the place we had headed for nearby was closed. Beautiful drive up to the centre and lots of parking, including disabled spaces at the front entrance. The minute I walked inside I just kept seeing a variety of beautiful things and the centre itself is really large. We headed for the cafe inside and I ordered a toastie whilst my friends ordered a baked potato each. Slight mix up meant I received a baked potato, but the server immediately took it back apologising for the error, returning straight away to update me. Minutes later I got my delicious toastie and my friends enjoyed their baked potatoes. The server was so caring and when I went to get a knife and fork as my toastie was so hot, she insisted on getting these for me and bringing them to the table. Great place, great food and great service. Would highly recommend.

We were staying in the Premier Inn just round the courier for a couple of days. On both mornings, we had breakfast at this coffee shop. Five items for £3.95 All very nice and the place is immaculate. Well worth a visit.

Lovely afternoon tea with my mum and her friends to celebrate her 90th birthday x well presented and nothing a bother for the staff

Not been here for literally years. Had been at the hospital visiting and decided to pop in for a gift . I am glad we decided to have the breakfast too !! It was fabulous, freshly made with eggs made to your liking and a fabulous choice and price . The pot of tea was tasty unlike some of the places it tasted of tea !! No cheap tea bags used here. Although it was breakfast time we had to have a cake as well... they just jumped off the display and onto our tray - something else that was fresh and very very tasty. Set me up for the rest of the week never mind the day !!

This would be 5 stars, but I see a theme with another review. The place has been overhauled and it's 100% for the better.

I booked a table for 13 family and friends for my Mum's 88th Birthday as we had got her out of hospital for the day for a surprise lunch. The Manager of the Tearoom, Lyndsey greeted us on arrival and gave my Mum a cuddle and a card to us both as we share the same birthday. We were advised we would need to go to the counter separately, however I took all the orders and the staff advised that although they were busy, they would do their best to bring our order to the table. This was done with efficiency and the food was fresh and hot and everyone got served at the same time. All staff made a fuss of my Mum and teas and coffees were also brought to the table after I handed our list to staff. When it was time for the cake, nearly all staff gathered round our table singing to my Mum. The service and attitude of the staff was excellent. Special mention to the Chef, who provided the excellent food, and even took the time to give the birthday girl a wave on our departure.

As a regular at Blossoms it's great to see the place improved.

My wife and I called in for breakfast last Thursday (5 April), we are frequent visitors to Blossoms and usually enjoy going there for a coffee.

First time I've been here in years, it was fantastic! We opted for a light lunch - my toastie was incredible, fresh and with a lovely side salad. Mum had mac and cheese - says it's one of the best she's had. Staff were so helpful, patient, friendly and welcoming - no one turfing you out or bothering you if you've finished eating. Will definitely return - there's soup to try next!

We decided to call in at the garden centre for tea and a scone following a hospital appointment and left with rather mixed feelings.

I use this Bistro for a variety of eating; coffee and cake with friends, lunch with elderly relatives and a great place to stop for a bowl of soup when shopping. It also does some half portion meals which is excellent for the smaller apetite. Recently had visitors from Kent staying at Premier Inn and we took them there for breakfast each morning. The service from Nicky and Janet was second to none. Food was fresh, eggs cooked as you like them and the friendly banter set us up for the day. Nicky could remember who liked what and Janet served our meal at our table. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts and great value.

I must say every time we come we are impressed with the variety and quality of the food There is a great selection of hot food at lunchtime . We dropped in for a coffee and a scone mid morning . Nice scones and great coffee . Its a huge dining area with plenty of choice the tables are cleared promptly and it is very clean

After visiting Blossoms Bistro & Coffee Shop today for our lunch and spending nearly £30.00 I asked if I can have an extra piece of butter for the small bread roll that you get with your soup and as told you only get 1 piece of butter per roll, You can have another butter if you pay another 10 pence ,considering I just gave them nearly £30.00 for our lunch. Then they came and checked to see if we only had 2 soups. Considering you can get a quarter pound of butter for less than £2.00 think this was a bit mean.

Very disappointed in the service and the dispparring comments from the staff about me to one another I had asked for soup and then moved on to pay I asked the lady in the queue if she was waiting for tea,she said she bit allowed me to move in to queue to pay the Irish Woman Behring the counter shouted to me ‘it’s one queue ‘ I tried to explain and again she shouted ‘it’s one queue’ and then commented to the other lady on how there would be complaints about this and how so very right she was......I have visited this place for a long number of years and never felt so humiliated in all my life as everyone including the serving staff were looking at me I work in the Catering Industry and have never spoken to anyone like that in my almost 40 years service to top this all my friend went up for cakes the same thing happened to her and she too was told by the same Staff Member ‘ it’s one queue!!!!!

We meet here every month for breakfast and a chat, it’s very reasonably priced, the service is friendly though a little slow at times. The food is good the cakes are lovely! Nice surroundings to sit and chat for an hour or two.

Absolutely disgusted with staff member behind the hot plate. Refused to make a slice of toast for my 9 month...

Lovely coffee and cake after some Xmas shopping . Lovely staff and very clean . A lovely place to take...

Several well wrapped and clearly marked Gluten/Dairy Free cakes. Offered three Gluten Free soups with GF ROLL. Staff very helpful.

Excellent food at a very reasonable price. Lovely staff and surroundings too. Home baking is delicious.

Called into this coffee shop for an early lunch the food was nice but the star attraction was the fabulous selection of cakes it was hard to decide what to choose I eventually went for a piece of coconut and raspberry cake which was moist and tasty.

Dropped in for lunch to this busy Restaurant we took the superb Steak Pie and Chips beautiful flavour The staff were coping well with the influx of customers at 12.30 . With no hiccups and a steady flow at the till . The dining area is spotlessly clean and staff are clearing tables as fast as they empty ,always a good sign for a well run establishment

Lugar muy popular para almorzar con una zona exterior para comer al aire libre lunching. Un poco decepcionados de que no eran tan preciosas tartas como el ilustrado en la página web y las tazas son un poco pequeñas. . De lo contrario competente!

Been here a few times now, as garden centres go it's worth a visit, on the downside they could display their goods for sale a bit more neater, and tidier but other than that it's worth coming too, it also has cafe for a refreshments whilst your browsing it's horticultural wares.

Gran sopa y sándwich, las tartas eran preciosas, único malo era que sólo había una porción de fruta helado izquierda. jajaja. Pero la galleta sustituto empire también era genial, el personal es siempre amable y servicial.

Came here after a visit to Zoolab and had late lunch, tea and cakes. Plenty to choose from, hot, cold, sweet and savoury all in different portion sizes too. Impressed by selection for children too. Lovely staff and nice atmosphere....actually...preferred it to another well known garden centre! Will definitely be back.

We use Blossoms within Torwood Garden Centre as the "Go to place" for eating whilst in the Larbert area. The staff are very friendly and very accommodating to your needs.. the breakfasts are excellent value - five cooked items plus toast for £3.99. With a pot of tea two persons can have a substantial breakfast for under £10.00.

Dad & I the early risers in the family popped in here for a sneaky breakfast. It's a lovely big bustling bright & airy food hall type of place. It has a small carpark and good disabled access including toilets. The food is set out in a carvery style with a server who plates your food, you pick the amount of items you want and tell the sever your choices but be warned one slice of bacon is one item I thought that was very stingy I was fully expecting 2 slices to be the acceptable quota, thankfully you weren't limited to a mushroom. So off we went with our plates and ordered a coffee, then paid, then sat down (why don't they make you pay first, by the time you queue for your tea then queue to pay, your breaky is all the while getting colder, stupid system). When we finally sat down our food was lovely, well cooked & fresh although no longer hot, I did enjoy it, I would eat there again if I happened to be at the garden centre but I would intentionally go there for the sole purpose of getting food.

After visiting a relative in the nearby hospital, I stopped off for afternoon tea and some fabulous home baking.! After sitting and catching up with a friend it was time to go back to Edinburgh.. It was then disaster struck!..I could not find my car key..I was so sure that it was in my hand-bag. I frantically searched within ...it wasn't there. I went through my pockets and all around where I had been sitting..to no avail!I re-traced my steps ..everywhere.I then alerted staff regarding my predicament..No key had been handed in..it was also closing time.! The staff were wonderful.they reassured me ..that they were not in any hurry. The check-out ladies assisted in turning out my handbag in a logical manner!; as did Kenny ...? manager still ...no key. . A full search ensued, all floors within the centre and bistro, counter, tables and even cutlery container's were searched!Eventually the key was located (after 3rd check) in the loo under the cistern where I had been earlier...it must have fallen from my opened handbag!What can I say but a wonderful thank you to everyone!AW ...Edinburgh
