Cafe Panola in Pentland Plants in Midlothian

My order came to over £42 and it was paid when we ordered everything came except a scone and butter so when I asked where it was the staff member went to get it then she came back empty handed and said the kitchen needed to see my reciept to make sure the scone was on it and had been paid for if that was the case how did we recieve everything else we ordered unbelievable quite embarrassing how could they NOT see the scone HAD been ordered and paid for

Visited the Cafe at Pentland Plants whilst my wife was looking around the plants. Ordered a Vanilla Milkshake. It arrived quickly, staff were pleasant. The milkshake was the consistency and temperature of milk from the fridge, it tasted like milk with vanilla syrup in it. I don’t believe there was any ice cream involved. A refund was offered immediately without any attempt to provide a real milkshake. I appreciate the immediate offer of the refund but this leads me to believe that the inferior milkshake offered is a deliberate cost saving exercise to rip off the majority of milk shake drinkers: children - shame on you Pentland Plants!

We were taken here by friends (I had never heard about it) The staff seat you and there is table service. The food options were extensive and everyone enjoyed their mains . Good portions of Mac and cheese, lasagne and large baked potato. The scones looked fantastic but I had no room left! The 4 of us did manage to share a tray bake and a carrot cake which were delish. Self service for water and the coffee was good. The garden centre and shop attached are worth a visit as well. It was busy but we hardly had to wait anytime to get a seat.

We have visited this establishment before & it’s far preferable to another not nearly so nice near Dalkeith, the staff were efficient & friendly & my only slight grouse is despite blackcurrant jam being sold in the shop only raspberry & strawberry available for our scones otherwise top marks to management & staff.

We had breakfast which was over cooked and greasy. Not worth £10.00 the sausage you couldn’t get a knife through the bacon greasy . The only good thing the butter for the toast

I visit this cafe regularly, the food is nice as are the staff....normally. unfortunately one of them not so today. I asked for a table for one & immediately was made to feel a nuisance. Whilst being seated I was asked if I wanted table service or order online. I asked for table service and was promptly told we'll get to you when we can, we are very busy. I did not like her manner, I found it offensive. I was just about to place my order online when one of the younger (very pleasant) girls came & took it. Her attitude spoiled my visit. And just an observation. After the way I was treated I observed 2 tables of women nursing glasses of water, blocking tables for others at the busy lunchtime period and I was treated like that!

Always excellent. It can get busy though. I’ve been visiting here for years and always enjoy the coffee and food.

Poor customer service. Drinks were brought on a tray and left on the table. What were we supposed to do with the tray. We had to get cutlery, condiments and napkins ourselves. Macaroni was obviously prepared then heated up. I’ve visited here previously and always been impressed. What has happened?

Food was ok but really small portions for the price you pay. We paid £6 for a kids box but they skimped on bread so my daughter only got half a cheese sandwich so she basically had crisps and chocolate for her lunch. Needless penny pinching when the full cheese sandwich would only cost 10p more to include. Also I paid £11 for a sliver of quiche. Was more hungry after than before I ate!

First visit here and was impressed. Tables were cleared quickly and service was pretty good considering how busy it was when we visited. There was a lunchtime meal deal available. Either soup and a scone or sandwich. Soup was good, scone and sandwiches were fresh and all were tasty. Prices were reasonable. No complaints at all. Noticed it was a dog friendly establishment.

The cafe was busy but by no means full. After waiting 20 minutes for someone to take our order we left.

Ordered a lemon and blueberry scone which was as tasty. Sat in the dog section of the cafe which was very busy. Only downside is having to get your own cutlery! The assistant had to pass the cutlery to bring me my scone. Difficult when you’re on your own with a dog.

Terrible customer service. I went with my friend and her one year one child. We where sat quickly. We where told we had to order online as it would be quicker. Not all the options where on the on the online menu so we went up to the counter. They told us someone would come over. 20 minutes later a woman came over. She took my friends order I said I would order online just to save time. The option for a small chips was not on the online menu so I went back up to the counter, the woman behind the counter rolled her eyes at me and sighed and said someone would come over, they eventually did 30 minutes later and by this time my friends child was gettting hungry so ordered a large for quickness. The child’s meal was a disgrace. £5 for not a whole sandwitch, half a sandwich with half a slice of ham. My friends macaroni was that greasy she had to dab it a few times with a napkin. Very dissappinted and will not be back.

Anticipating a busy morning and having fond memories of a lovely tea time treat at the café, I thought I would fortify myself while gathering my thoughts this morning. I was so disappointed with the whole experience. Being shown to my table I was asked if I would like to order via the app! Fortunately they do offer the alternative of someone coming and taking my order. This they did (on a handheld tablet or keypad) and immediately asked for payment - card or cash. It was so impersonal and totally lackng in atmosphere - even McDonalds can do better! The bacon roll arrived (and it was very tasty) but no cutlery or napkin - it seems you have to leave your seat and go and help yourself to these essentials. No sign of the capuccino though and when I'd just about finished the roll and failed to attract a member of staff, I went up to the front and asked about it. It did appear then but, no surprise, without a teaspoon. This cafe has got about as much atmosphere as my work canteen had way back in the 70s and not my idea of a relaxing venue for a refreshment. What a shame.

Had lunch today and really enjoyed the food. The ladies here have everything under control. From being seated, we ordered by app, to leaving they were on it. Watched tables being cleaned very quickly and efficiently for next occupants. Well done. Only negative was an owner whose dog barked a lot.

Fabulous afternoon tea. When booking I asked for a table outside if weather was nice & they said they’d keep an eye on the weather for. We arrived to find a lovely table had been reserved outside for us. Fresh made sandwiches & homemade cakes & scones. Bonus is you can choose your sandwich from the menu rather than be given a set selection that you don’t like. Huge scones & were able to swap from fruit to plain. Other cakes were generous too. All were delicious. Boxes were given to take home the leftovers. A couple of last minute changes were accommodated. Excellent & friendly service. Well worth the money.

I found the food to be adequate, nothing out of ordinary. What did bother me, however, was the lack of hygiene with the assistants at the tills who constantly either wiped their nose with the backs of their hand or played with their hair while carrying out their duties. Cakes etc were put in the display cases, these being touched without using gloves.

Ordered two scones with jam and clotted cream to eat in. One jam portion was very stingy. I had to scrape it on. Asked for Cullen Skink soup to take away. The lady doubted that she had enough for three portions but went to check. She came back and said yes, she had enough. The worst Cullen Skink I've ever eaten. Thin fish broth would better describe it. (Watered down maybe?) I had 2 small lumps of potatoes in mine. So dissapointed. £7 each portion and £34 in total for our 2 scones and 3 thin soups. Not at all good value for money.

We have visited Pentland Plants and the cafe for years , probably 15-20 years. It has gone down hill and I won’t be returning. Too many dogs , and dog owners letting dogs say ‘hello’ to each other rather than let elderly customers past . While we were in today there was a dog with an Assistane harness in but I do not believe it was an Assistance dog as it was so badly behaved. This is not fair on proper assistance dogs. Why do dogs need to be in a cafe ? I am a dog owner but would never dream of taking my dog to a cafe . Why not take the dog a nice walk then leave it at home or in the car ? Staff very unhelpful regarding this matter. Service also appalling .

Excellent service from Onya. It was extremely busy but when she realised our order hadn’t been taken she organised it straight away and brought us more coffees as no one had informed us where to get our own cutlery etc. She went above and beyond to rectify the situation and we could not have asked for better from her. She is a superb member of staff.

Had a Mother’s Day breakfast here with family members. I had the vegetarian breakfast which cost £8.50! It was dire, so expensive for what it was too!! Firstly the breakfast was served on a strange size of plate! When I have eaten here in the past your breakfast was served on a dinner plate or larger. My breakfast on this occasion was served on a plate size larger than a side plate but smaller than a dinner plate! It was like a child’s plate. Three quarters of the plate was filled with a mass of cheap baked beans. It is so much nicer to get baked beans served on a wee side dish on the plate! Most places do this, but not here! The veg haggis was a slip of soft brown smear. I have never seen veg haggis like this before! Unsure of the brand, but it was not good!! No veg sausage. A hard tomato halved and a small portion of mushrooms. It came with a slice of toast which was brick hard and burnt. It should never have left the kitchen! The breakfast dish was hardly touched. It did not taste good. Numerous staff passed glancing at this discarded mess on our table, without a comment as they went about their business. Terrible value and definitely not worth the money. It had been a while since we had been there. It’s a shame as their breakfast used to be good. We won’t be back - don’t waste your money, go to Dobbies!

Used to be great but service in cafe has really gone downhill. 20 Feb waited 25mins for order to be taken, hot breakfast rolls arrived 5mins later and coffee 15 mins after that. You can no longer order or pay at till, they ask for card payment when they take order on tablet. Customers encouraged to order online themselves which many declined as it takes forever and a day (in hindsight maybe marginally quicker than table service). Appreciate it was busy but many people arriving after us had their order taken before us. Also people want their drinks served with their food. Food is nice but wouldnt be in a rush to return due to poor service. Suggest employ more staff or limit number of customers. Serve drinks with food, shouldn't need to ask for drinks and food to be served together!

visited here yesterday with a friend for a snack one choosing scrambled egg which had to be sent back it was cold but one look at the second portion could tell it was microwaved with a rubbery look but eatable, I had french toast with bacon and mayple syrup the toast was cold and the bacon was very fat but managed to eat a little but realise that should have gone back too,but will never be back in this place should have learned a lesson for the previous time we had scrambled egg roll which was pretty poor again ,busy place too I wonder how ,something needing checked in the kitchen .

I was at the cafe with my friend on Thursday. We had a lovely, relaxing visit having a few coffees and a good catchup.When it came to pay, we were told to sit back at our table as the tills/card payments weren't working and they were trying to sort it! This was at 2pm. We waited a while, then went back up to the counter to see what was happening ...we were told that they were trying to fix it! I then asked if we could pay the bill, as I had the correct amount of cash...I was told No.....the tills weren't working....I again tried to pay with the correct amount of cash....again I was told No. I was then asked to step away from the counter as she felt intimidated!!!! By this time there was about 12 people all trying to pay standing in front of the counter......the counter staff were still taking orders from new customers and we were clearly in the way and then told to step back and queue in front of the counter....other customers were actually walking out without paying!!!! After still waiting to pay 25 minutes had actually lapsed.....the tills were then working and I was asked if I wanted to pay with cash or card???? As I had thrown the correct money back into my purse, I paid by card....waiting on at least another 3 minutes to get a Receipt???When leaving there was a large queue of other customers trying to pay for items, plants at the exit. I then asked here to see the Manager. When she arrived she apologised for the delay..I told her about the episode and the length of time and especially about "having the correct money" .. she then said that "I should have been able to pay"!!! And again apologised and said she would speak to the restaurant staff to tell them this.I'm sorry, but this whole episode was a complete farce! Pentland Plants are a very popular venue but they clearly should have contingencies in place to deal with this problem and their staff should be adequately trained accordingly.Waiting 25 minutes to pay was just a joke....Our relaxing catch up ended up being so stressful....I'm sorry but I won't be returning anytime soon...

Stop for Bacon Roll an coffee before walk.clean tables and excellent sevice staff very helpful. Not long to wait on food. Piping hot

Very friendly and helpful when emailing to book (afternoon tea must be prebooked). Staff were really friendly and welcoming on arrival and orders were taken efficiently. It would be nice if there was a menu specifically for afternoon tea explaining what they want you to choose instead of giving us the full cafe menu to look at but not a big issue.There was a little wait while sandwiches were prepped and everything was plated but the presentation looked great. Two minor criticisms of the sandwiches only: 1) I had ordered mine on brown bread but both came on white, not a big deal but the receipt definitely said brown so just attention to detail. 2) this could be a big deal to some: we ordered one meat sandwich option and the other veggie. Both were served on the same plate as though to slice they had placed both together and cut through them before arranging them on the plate. I say this especially as I found some crumbs of meat on the edge of my sandwich, I'm not strictly veggie but I do think some may have an issue with this and its maybe something the prep team should consider. The tea overall was delicious and the cake selection was fantastic (the lemon cheesecake was beautifully lemony and carrot cake was amazing, that icing - wow!) We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and agreed it was well worth the £15pp price tag. Would definitely return

Been here a few times recently. Excellent breakfast rolls, and a very decent cuppa. Hope to sample more from the menu very soon

My husband and I had a tasty imaginative and beautifully presented light lunch here today.Staff were attentive friendly and very well acquainted with the contents of the menu.Our lunch arrived very punctually and was presented extremely creatively.Everything was tasty and extremely fresh.We’ll look forward to our next visit.

Well done to your team once again. You are all clearly working very hard to keep up with demands that this current situation brings you. You have a great ‘Covid’ system in place ( others places to learn from you), and your team made us feel very welcome and not rushed. As always, good soup, sandwiches, cakes etc.

My friend and I had a very lovely afternoon at Cafe Panola. There was along queue when we got there but that went down really quickly. The staff were all very cheerful and friendly, the sweet potato and parsnip soup (vegan) was really tasty and the vegan raspberry slice was delicious. A great, busy cafe with a lovely atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you to all the staff who are working hard under these current guidelines.

I stop at this cafe on my way to the borders, love the food, staff are always helpful and friendly, pity it’s not a bit cheaper. 😏😋

Great choice of breakfast rolls, lunches and treats. Fast service with very friendly staff and good Covid rules in place. Would highly recommend link sausage on a roll and the banoffee tarts.

I have attended the cafe for many years and have yet to receive a meal that was not one hundred per cent satisfactory. Freshly cooked, excellent service. Visited on Sunday morning, yesterday, and delighted to see that additional seating area for the restaurant was in place to accommodate social distance. Home made soup, and french toast, bacon and syrup superb.

Very pleasant experience at cafe Panola today. Staff very clued up Covid requirements. We queued up to be shown to our numbered table. Given menu and only waited a few minutes for our order to be taken. As we had a Pentland plants card we did not have to leave our contact details. Food brought to table and left for you to take of tray. 1 Black pudding roll 1 GF bacon sandwich milk and cappuccino, delicious and a great price. Payment taken a counter contactless , in all a very stress free enjoyable lunch. Felt very safe and can commend the staff for this x5/5

Fish and chips were very good!Really enjoyed them.Price was very reasonable.Staff very nice.Will certainly go back again.

we've been coming here for years. Its always been 100%. Lovely coffee , cake , soup and rolls. Can get busy at times but the staff always seem to work hard so theres never a long wait. Heading there now for the first time since lockdown

2 rolls, black pudding (stornaway by the way) and haggis.£2.90 for 1 (one) slice of black pudding on a slab of margarine. £2.40 for 1 (one) slice of haggis on a slab of margarine. Rolls were ok, but I am afraid I will never be back for food again. Over priced, rip off- stay away. I await management's reply to my report, as on site manager Linn didn't bat an eyelid. Apologised but no recompense, voucher or the equivalent.

Great range of food at any time of day... breakfast, lunch or cakes. Cater well for dogs too! Afternoon tea was delicious and you get to pick sandwich fillings, yum!

good food, good menu but think it's a bit over priced for the type of place as per most garden centers

Went for breakfast/brunch this afternoon... tall dark haired gentleman in red biomass overalls (dirty overalls and hands) proceeded to go behind the FOOD COUNTER and open the glass cupboard and helped himself to a cake and a coffee.. Food and hygiene are imperative!!!! Fair to say it put me off my breakfast.. this needs rectified! The food hygiene committee would have a field day!!! Digusting

My husband and I ordered a Sunday Roast. My husband ordered the nut roast and I had the roast beef. The portion size was small. The Yorkshire puddings were hard, the roast potatoes were dry, the gravy sparse and vegetables minimal. Not good value for £9. My daughter ordered a toastie. Poor value at £6. The cheese was of poor quality and my daughter couldn’t eat it.My mother-in-law ordered the soup and scone, which was nice enough, but at £5.80 for a bowl of soup and a scone was overpriced.I have eaten at Pentland Plants cafe many times. I have watched the prices rise and the quality of food deteriorate over the months and sadly feel that I can no longer recommend this cafe as a place to eat. Such a shame. I hope the food improves because it’s a great garden centre.

Popped in mid afternoon for a snack, from a previous experience enjoyed the soups and variety of sandwiches. My companion had poached eggs on toast the eggs looked rich and amazing, me the go to fruit scone. Not a bad experience by any means.

Had Cullen skink which was delicious and sandwich on side which was good, we were overcharged but the queue was huge and couldn't be bothered queuing to complain, so left it as a tip lol, love the food here so well worth it.

Fantastic cafe, good food, lovely welcoming atmosphere. Parking good. Garden centre, lovely gift shop. Not to be missed. Occasional events held at the garden centre. Easy to get to. Not far from Edinburgh City bypass, come off at Straiton junction and head for Penicuik. Pass Ikea and Nobles car garage, just through traffic lights, then turn right. Worth a visit, and they have some fantastic traybakes.

Very disappointed with the cooked breakfast. It was swimming with fat, over cooked and very salty. I left most of it expect my toast. Wished I had chosen something else. Latte was very good.

Always great food, hot drinks and the hot chocolate is really special! However the cafe is almost too small (again) for the numbers it attracts daily and being under glass (or similar) it needs to be air conditioned since it can become quite uncomfortable.Sometimes the staff are too busy to be friendly but service is consistently of a high standard and the menu is extensive.The all day breakfast is competitive since many places only serve until 11, and the home made scones and cakes are exceptional.

Busy cafe at the rear of the premises, lots of tables and play area and dressing up for kids. Wheelchair accessible. Pay at counter and they bring your food to the table. We had the deep fried brie, with salad and chips, it was delicious, we halved a slice of coffee cake as it was so big. You can pay for coffee at the start and collect it later, no need to queue again. Fairly quick service but expensive. Nice treat though.

Aww this place is fab - good home cooked food and an amazing range for adults and kids alike. The staff are outstanding, so friendly and the place I would class as a little hidden gem - I had a small issue once but the owner Carolyn was amazing in dealing with it so I don't even bother anymore and have since been back loads. They have a kids play area also which is fabulous. They allow dogs in the cafe in a section which I don't really agree with but each to their own it doesn't deter me from frequently visiting there.

Yes, back to the dog friendly cafe and pleased to report, service improved and counter staff very pleasant. Food was not just thrown on the plate like my last visit and everything was tasty.

Our favourite Cullen Skink was very tasty, a slightly lighter version than elsewhere, and the accompanying cheese scone very good. We happened to be in the "dog friendly section", and there were several very well-behaved canine visitors. Friendly notices from the owners asking owners to keep dogs under control and quiet were clearly working. (Similar notices directed at parents with respect to their offspring might have been useful, but then they would be anywhere. :) ) We went there having seen the garden centre and its owner featured on the Instant Gardener on BBC2 this morning, and realised it was only an hour from home. We were going to a garden centre today anyway, so after a little on-line research we decided to try a new one, and we'll definitely be back.

Dog and child friendly. Beautiful cakes, scones and home made delights. Good coffee and fab lunches sandwiches and salads. Also daily soups and specials . Great for a chatty lunch

Service deteriorated, food presentation deteriorated, quality still ok. So different since my last visit some 12 months ago. Yes I only has

its a shame the café could not take the time to offer a child box for a 2.5yrs old

Very disappointed, member of staff on shop floor disinterested and rude when approached, Caroline? Didn’t get her last name. Coffee shop very busy, latte was not good, milk was barely warmed up. Will not be back.

We were very pleased to find this café on a trip down from a stay in Scotland, after a search on the internet to find a dog friendly garden centre (anticipating that we would have to sit outside). Their website said that dogs were allowed in the café so we made our way there. We were delighted to find that they have set aside a decent sized area for dog owners inside (our local garden centre provides one table indoors!) and in particular as it poured with rain while we were there. Not only that they even have a doggie menu. Our canine didn't partake this time. The café was very clean, the service was quick and the food was great. Also the toilets were very good. They have a nice gift selection in the garden centre too. This would be a regular visit if only it wasn't 500 miles from home! We would definitely call in again when we were back in the area. So nice to find somewhere that caters for dog owners - thank you.

So we had visited the nearby Swedish superstore but could not face the feeding frenzy in their cafeteria so found ourselves at Pentland Plants for the first time hoping they had a coffee shop. They had a “todays specials” notice up which included a roast beef dinner and we were sold. Now the food was really good, fairly priced and hot just as it should be but here comes the issue. At one point I was in a queue of nine people and no one was serving? The two ladies who should have been taking orders were making coffee in fact three coffees each which seemed odd as they then had to take payments and give change etc. Apart from this we were happy we dropped by and will surely be back.

This has a lovely feel to it. Gorgeous home bakes. Amazing clothes and coffee. Try!! You'll buy! My respite place. Love the sense of it.

Lots of nice home baking and very fresh meals. Staff are friendly. Downside is that it is a bit expensive but as garden centres go prices are about the same as Dobbies

We met family here as a last stop before travelling home. The menu was varied and there was something for all. Three of us had quiche which came with salad and coleslaw - we ordered sweet potato chips as an extra. They were very nice and there was plenty. We had a few desserts to share and they were all lovely.

I am reluctantly writing this as we have been a long time customer for many years. After ordering under the new table number system and paying for our meal we awaited our hot food!

Service horrendous. Woman with long grey blonde hair rude . Worst experience. Will not be back or recommend.

Have gone past the entrance to this garden centre many, many times but a friend said I should go in and see for myself how good it is. We had a very good cup of coffee and excellent scones . We sat in comfort and thought we must come here again. The plants and garden 'essentials' were also good not to mention the gift shop areaI' kicking myself that I hadn't been before!

Any time we're visiting the area we pop in here, not only for the excellent plants & gardening products, but also for the fabulous food and drinks in the café.

Visited the cafe during a shopping trip on a sunny Monday bank holiday. Cafe had plently people eating but managed to get a table no problem.

Today myself and my mum used a voucher for two for afternoon tea, I have to say I would not be paying £18.95 for it!!! Two slices of bread between the two of us, didn’t help that we asked for a mix of tuna and ham sandwiches and we got ham and egg!! The scone was okay, but don’t like fruit scones really and was not given a choice of what scones we would like. The cakes weren’t very tasty, the macaroons were okay and we only got one brownie between us.......

Definitely very average. Been a few times as it is a convenient place to meet but have been disappointed. Scones a bit dry on occasion. Quiche soft pastry and soggy bottom. Fish and chips bit over done and small portion. Winners seem to be the soups. Heard the cheese scone is nice too.

Been here a few times and it is a relatively pleasant experience. It is not a la carte, but is probably what one might expect from a garden centre. Plain fare and self service.

Not quite sure what to make of Pentland Plants as a destination. The cafe is in a perspex roofed area so is very bright and warm. However why they have decorated the surroundings and even the table centrepiece with plastic plants ( in a garden centre) is beyond me! Opting for the fruit scones, these were rather dry and lacked flavour and observing the fresh fruit options on the servery, was a bit shocked at the price (75p for a banana, or apple).

Had originally gone to Ikea for breakfast, however is was very busy and decided to give the Panola another go. All day Full breakfast, with toast. coffee was extra. very tasty and filling.

We’ve been a lot of times and always enjoyed our visits. The food is consistently very good. There’s a lot to choose from and also on the ‘todays specials’ board.

Been twice now soups very nice. But scones a bit dry. Quiche is microwaved so horrible soggy bottom. Shame as the filing was lovely. Nice chips.

Lucky enough to have this on our doorstep. Friendly staff and delicious food. Added bonus of the gift shop.

After browsing the huge plant selection and gift range the visit always ends in a welcome return to the cafe . All food is freshly prepared and with typical home-baked quality bakeries there his always something suitable at any time of the day.

Love this little place. The food is fantastic. Lots to choose from. A great place for lunch or a catch up with a coffee. There's outdoor seating too. You can also take your dog!

El mejor desayuno que pude encontrar en midlothian.

No he estado aquí por un tiempo y volver porque siempre previamente satisfechos con nuestra comida. Hoy me quedé muy decepcionado. Niños macarrones era muy secos y patatas fritas eran poco hecha. Panini de atún y el queso sabía raro uno tenía mucho queso insípido, fue incomible. Puntos, buena zona de juegos para niños y chocolate caliente es bueno. El personal es educado. Tome sus gafas de sol! Es muy luminoso y caliente como es estar en el conservatorio

Merienda para dos gran relación calidad-precio en sólo 13 libras. 95! Relleno para sándwiches que se hicieron a la orden y una deliciosa selección de pasteles y pastas, tuvimos que tomar un pastel de casa ya que no podíamos acabar todos ellos. Perros demasiado con un menú especial para ellos.

Been a couple of times now but won't be going back. Breakfast was very poor, just thrown on a plate and nothing special for the money. Will stick with Costco and Ikea in future.

Just had the most healthy Cullen skink

Comidas a un precio razonable. Gran aparcamiento y interesante jardín. El café se llena, pero el servicio es rápido. Amplia cafetería que se pone muy caliente. Agradable espacio exterior con vistas a las montañas. Sopa de Lentejas y queso calentito encantador con queso sabrosa. Buen lugar para almorzar y reflexionar. Es mejor ir temprano para evitar las aglomeraciones de fin de semana. Las grandes ideas de regalos.

No hay muchos aspectos positivos. Menú parece bien, pero que es donde se detiene. Servicio es patética. Se llevan su orden y te dan un número para ser colocados en la mesa, incluso si la sopa de la orden. Tuve que esperar una eternidad para comida. Había mucha gente detrás del mostrador, pero sólo de una chica llevando comida y lugar atestado. La chica mala fue tener que correr para tratar de mantener. No cubiertos en las estanterías. Tuvimos que pedir cubiertos. La sopa estaba insípida y fría. Mi té estaba fría por el tiempo mi comida llegó. La Gomera Cullen era demasiado delgadas. Se supone que es crema. Los bollos eran adecuados. Los aseos eran como portales. No volveremos. Es una pena, porque el centro del jardín es un precio razonable para comprar plantas

Este café tiene una fantástica variedad de comidas para satisfacer a individuos, parejas o familias. Que el trabajo que se pretende hacer. Hemos venido aquí por más de 7 años ahora y siempre ha sido genial!

Just popped in for lunch with daughter - had been recommended - my soup was inedible - celery and leek tasted like it was made with sea water it was so salty - it was served with a tasteless pesto and parmiesan scone which I presume was heated in microwave - stodgy and disappointing. My daughter had sweet potato soup also disappointed in it...

Very mixed. Daughters had macaroni and soup dishes which were fine whilst I opted for the all day breakfast. My breakfast was inedible. Sausage was cold in centre, potato scone was sodden in grease and mushrooms had been cooked hours ago.

Visitamos aquí sobre una base regular. Comimos cada vez. A veces bien, a veces no. Desayuno durante todo el día daba y decepcionante. Fuimos hace un par de semanas con los niños menores de cinco, tres y 18 meses. Compramos comida y cafés para nosotros y pasteles para los niños. Bill era 25 libras. 00. Tomamos un almuerzo para llevar para los niños porque hemos comprado comida para ellos a menudo y nunca comer! ! ! ! ! Recibimos un grosero y muy pública marcando desde un miembro del personal. Llamado para llamar la atención de gestión y explicar motivo de almuerzos para llevar. No hay llamada de vuelta, así que luego messaged Spray Carolyn y recibió una respuesta satisfactoria a menos de. Hemos pasado una cantidad considerable de dinero en la tienda. Servicio de atención al cliente obviamente no significa nada para ellos. No volveremos!

I've been here a few times. Only ever had a roll and a homemade tray bake. Both of which were delicious. Lovely bright seating area and would definately go back

Haber realizado un viaje especial para apoyar los centros de jardín en vez de cadenas nacionales llegamos a tiempo para el almuerzo y un aperitivo. ordenados tostados Brie para mi marido y yo y queso sencilla para nuestro hijo. Nuestro hijo convertido a su más y fue quemada! ! Mi marido le dio parte de su sandwichera y abrieron el "Queso". Me dio nuestro hijo de 11 años más queso cuando tenía 4 que era en lo que se sirve. Muy pobre. Esto fue combinado con una experiencia horrible en el centro del jardín en sí. Acabo de cortar nuestra tarjeta Pentland plantas y sin duda no volveremos - hay un montón de centros locales que ofrecen jardín en Escocia una experiencia agradable, buen servicio al cliente y excelente comida, que usaremos en su lugar! !

Have been here a few times over the years as work nearby. Always a lovely cuppa and their breakfast rolls are always fab. The actual garden centre/shop is great aswell. If your looking for something a bit different it's a good place to look.

Este café fue recomendado por un amigo.

Tomó un poco de viaje durante las vacaciones de navidad para visitar el jardín secreto de hierbas en la carretera, pero al encontrarlo cerrado llegó aquí. Habíamos visitado café panola varias veces antes y habíamos disfrutado de la comida, de bollos y pasteles por las sopas. Por desgracia, esta vez optamos por el desayuno durante todo el día. Mala decisión ya que era terrible, en primer lugar la salchicha estaba fría, el tattie scone morcilla y el tocino frito, el recocido y tomates y champiñones parecía una vista lo siento. Lo peor de todo el huevo parecía como si hubiese estado en una pelea con un lanzallamas!

La comida increíble y un montón de opciones! Todo es casero y muy bien. La sopa es precioso los bollos preciosa y esponjosas y enorme.

Stopped by for Sunday lunch with in-laws, kids etc and the menu provided for everyone. Sandwiches were tasty and packed full. Staff were friendly and attentive. Down side and really only for me is that part of the cafe is a dog friendly which I don't have an issue with but it's also next to kids play area. Kids area is fantastic, kitchen, dressing up, tent, baby toys etc. Enough to keep them entertained while I finish my lunch. Visited several times since and haven't been disappointed but we did stop by for afternoon tea once and it was a bit of a let down. Not enough sandwiches and too many cakes. Filter coffee was bitter. Will still return just not for afternoon tea!!

Lovely large cafe . Good place to eat when looking for plants or meeting friends. Very clean and cheery staff. Food is excellent. Well worth a drop in. Prices very reasonable.

Pentland Plants is a must. A regular visitor as the food is fantastic. We go all the time and are never disappointed. Perfect for kids as play corner with loads to keep them entertained. Would be good for baby groups too. Highly recommended.

Not on the scale like dobbies but good background of plant knowledge and different things to buy . Good priced and nice environment

Have visited this cafe for lunch at weekend for some time. It is always very busy but very well organised and food is cooked fresh with no long waiting times. Food is of high quality and staff very friendly,

Café y pastel son siempre una ventaja después de pasear por un jardín. He visto este progreso café de un lugar pequeño (con aseos en un cuarto) a la cafetería Portacabin mucho mejor (y servicios) es ahora. Hay una buena selección de comida caliente, tortas y bebidas y con una zona de juegos para niños en una esquina y un perro agradable zona en otro ¿qué más se puede pedir?

A very pleasant experience with quite a wide selection at reasonable prices Lovely cakes too. Staff very helpful.

Great lunch at reasonable prices Caters for all types of clients and for all tastes Super soup and sandwiches

Qué agradable encontrar un buen centro de jardín, con buen stock de plantas interesantes a precios razonables, no relacionados con nick - jardín y una por encima de la media tentempiés que café. Excelente tarta de manzana hecha con toque de especias y mullidos esmirna, desayunos vegetarianos y ensalada de queso de cabra. Servicio decente y un ligero y bien ventilado, mezclado asientos. Ah, y los baños estaban limpios. La Dobbies comer su corazón.
