A really lovely place with plants, christmas decorations, and grocery(a lot of things seemed local would definitely come back for the local honey that even had a batch number on it). There is even a small cozy cafe. Loved the place.

Has change hands from when I last went there. It seems to sell a lot more than it did before. I was impressed with the choice in the store. You can now buy clothes as well as plants. It still has a very nice restaurant. They also sell Jacuzzis. It is also dog friendly for behaved dogs. Access for the disabled is available as with bays just outside the entrance for parking. Bike rakes too. Their Christmas selection is just being installed.

This place is absolutely huge! We didn't even manage to get all the way round it. Lots of different sections for clothing, cosmetics, pet supplies and gardening. Plus a yummy food bit which we ran through because we were out of cash and it's all so tempting! Friendly staff and clean customer toilets. Little bit on the higher price point for some things but well worth the visit

A bit chaotic, there’s a sign saying ‘wait to be seated’ but nobody seats you. You have to just go and order at the till like a cafeteria. With the breakfast you can’t swap anything out. You can take things off but not add anything in its place. Which is a bit stingy. Apart from that it’s all very average. Hence 3 stars.

Very nice garden center but staff are not very friendly, when I asked could have couples of boxes she's, was very disrespectful to me as I spent a lot of money in the garden center she told me,l could have one box were there was so many boxes by the checkout? I find very strange? I hope they should change their attitude towards customers very bad for business and disappointing for customers ☹️

This garden centre has almost everything you could ask for. Allowing dogs in would be excellent. - I revisited Coton and discovered a small sign to say that Dogs are allowed, apologies to COGC for the misunderstanding. A great place to visit. Update Sept 24. A revamp to the cafe area has been good.

2nd time we've had a disappointing lunch here in 2 months. Last time 2 of our first choice meal options weren't available. This time we ordered 3 club sandwiches on BROWN bread. The person taking our order repeated it back to me, all was fine. Club sandwiches arrived on WHITE bread. I queried this with our server, she went back to check, came back and apologised that they'd read our order incorrectly. Basic customer service is surely to read orders properly! I asked how long would it take to re-make our order correctly, server said about 20 minutes in a tone of voice that implied it wasn't possible (although we didn't have time to wait another 20 minutes anyway) so we ate the meal, all of us leaving the disgusting thick white slabs of bread. These club sandwiches are hugely over priced anyway at almost £13, which would've been just about acceptable if we'd received the food we actually ordered. We won't be coming here again anytime soon. All options far too expensive now, coupled with poor service it's not an enjoyable lunchtime option anymore.

It’s truly the best garden centre I’ve ever visited. It’s a must visit for plant enthusiasts. Theres lots to choose from, good quality and very reasonable compared to other retailers. Apart from the garden centre, handmade ceramics, wax melts, soaps etc are sold here. Easily takes a couple hours to explore all the sections. Will definitely be back.

Love this garden centre! I last visited COGC back in the early part of summer, and my wife and I were extremely impressed with the quality of plants, food, and other garden accessories available. The staff were great too! They were very knowledgeable, helpful, and went the extra mile in order to make sure they provided complete customer satisfaction. As such, we we're both looking forward to bringing my wife's parents on our next trip to COGC. When we finally managed this, oh boy, what a change! As usual, the garden team delivered the same level of service expected. This however cannot be said for the catering team. And whilst the person in charge in the restaurant was most apologetic for the events that thoroughly spoilt our visit, this resulted in my in us all leaving with a very dim view of the on-site catering. Firstly, the burgers were not available, something that was not advertised when entering the seating area. Secondly, and having ordered fish & chips all-round, we were advised, after waiting circa 20 minutes, that "the fryer had broken down", and as such, they couldn't serve this either. Thirdly, having ordered 3 sausage and mash and one omelette, the food finally arrived. What a disaster! The sausages were so overcooked they were extremely difficult to cut, not to mention tasteless, and the colour of the omelette resembled that of Royal Navy grey. It too was tasteles. Needless to say it wasn't eaten. To be completely frank, we couldn't be bothered to complain because 1, the time we had spent in the restaurant, 2, the vacant response by a member of staff to a question put to them by my mother-in -law's about her meal, and 3, we needed to get on with showing them how good COGC is! Oh, I nearly forgot, we were offered a free drink for the inconvenience. However, and whilst this was a kind gesture, it didn't change my in-laws' impression of the restaurant. They did, however, like the garden centre, but added it was unlikely that they would return given they usually have something to eat when visiting such places. As such I have now downgraded my 5 star review to a 3 star. Come on COGC, you can do better than this!

Went to Coton specifically for breakfast and found the menu just a little pricey. However we went for the full l, and light breakfasts and certainly cannot complain about the quantity of breakfast. However, it was a rather greasy plateful and the scrambled egg was extremely odd. Much more like a scrambled omelette . Doubt we will be back in a hurry for breakfast but we certainly like the garden centre as a whole.

My local garden centre & visit often. The staff are just amazing and so happy, chatty , knowledgeable & friendly. Thank you ! Plants of excellent quality & the " half price half dead 😉 " section has some great bargains. Am very much a gardener so not interested in the clothing / gifts/ smellies side of things but it's all laid out well. Toilets are very clean and welcoming. Cafe nice but at busy times can have long queues - just have to be patient ! My one suggestion as a ' blue diamond card ' holder is you need to have much better lures / offers for your loyal customers. There's not much to gain from loyalty here & I recently desubscribed to your newsletter as the offers you were sending were useless to me due to no stock or just irrelevant to what I was buying....I also have a loyalty card for another locally based massive garden centre a bit further away ( recently undergone a major refurbishment) . I won't mention names but they offer an accrued points system which give reductions on future purchases. Last time I went, my points had accrued so I got nearly £10 off my plant & compost purchase. Think you're missing a trick here blue diamond 😉.....I'd use you much more if your offered a points system for future money off redemptions & focused on incentives to shop with you for actual gardeners who buy gardening stuff !!!!

I don’t really like to leave negative reviews as usually the issue can be resolved in person and there’s no harm done. However on this occasion I have to say that as a family we were all very frustrated, mortified and disappointed with the service and food we received at the cafe here. We ordered the following food: -Tuna baguette 1 with chips and 1 with cheesy chips. -Gourmet Cheesy chips. -Baked potato with tuna crème fresh and lemon. -Aubergine veggie roast. Firstly all of this food cost us around £70 which is NOT cheap, so we expected a certain level of quality from our food. However when it arrived we were greeted with a greasy soggy smalls bowl of cheesy chips (far from gourmet), a dry baked potato with literally a can of tuna dumped on it and no lemon or crème fresh. A, once again, dry sandwich with just tuna and no mayo or moisture at all to combine it together and some random flavourless tortilla crisps on the side despite asking for chips. And they didn’t have the veggie roast anymore so they just gave me extra veg (a lot of red cabbage) but didn’t discount the price a little even despite this. Out of all the dishes my dish was the only one that was even close to what we ordered and I must say tasted alright. We were very dissapointed, but we aren’t really people who like to make a big thing out of it so we just wanted our food fixed into what we had ordered so we politely asked a lady with red hair who then interrupted my dad and just went and got her manager which was fine but abrupt. She then said quite loudly “THIS MAN, has a problem apparently, with the food AND presentation” and made him feel very uncomfortable and also made the manager immediately treat him as if he was being rude. Then instead of resolving the actual issue they just brought out 3 bowls of plain crème fresh and refused to actually acknowledge just how bad all of the food was, the only comment we got was “the chips are chunky so that’s what makes them gourmet, but yeah it’s a bowl of cheesy chips”. And when dad kept asking if she understood why we were upset, she simply said “well we will get some bowl of crème fresh and if there’s any other issue let me know” but we had already told her! We just really wanted a resolution but didn’t get it, we left after and went to a different coffee shop to try and feel better but we were all mortified and just sad at how this were handled.

My recent visit to Coton Orchard Garden Centre was marred by a distressing incident that has left me deeply disappointed and concerned. While browsing the premises, a shed fell on me, causing injuries to my arm, shoulder, and cheek. What's even more alarming is that this accident could have involved my one-year-old child, who was seated in the trolley I was pushing at the time. The response from the establishment was grossly inadequate. Instead of taking meaningful action to address the physical and emotional distress caused by this incident, all I received was a phone call to wish me a speedy recovery. This incident reflects a blatant disregard for customer safety and wellbeing. I expected more from Coton Orchard Garden Centre and am deeply disappointed by their lack of accountability. I strongly advise caution to anyone considering visiting this establishment, as their negligence poses a significant risk to patrons. In light of this experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Coton Orchard Garden Centre and urge them to prioritise safety measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Went here for a belated Mother’s Day. Mum was happy with the selection and quality of their plants, and there were some very appetizing cakes and treats in their shop, but their cafe seems overpriced for very average food. The chicken cordon bleu was a bit hard, seemingly overdone, and a glorified chicken Kiev, and the burger was also quite tough and overdone, and dry because of it. I dare not try a slice of their tray bake at over £5 for a slice, it was no longer reasonable.

I'm so confused based on other reviews, friends had recommended as well, but it seems they only meant the cafe. This is a multilevel environment with no signage how to get between the levels (it's hard if you are outside with a trolley to say the least) I have never been more frustrated trying to find my way around and get back. Inside so may Isles are not large trolley friendly and you have to turn round and find another route because they are too narrow or blocked. The angles on the pathways are terrible, as in slanting, impossible to steer a trolley with anything on anywhere without assistance from someone (which I didn't know and didn't have) you get straight again having moved to the front of the trolley to pull it round and then you hit a trench for a drain in the tarmac added after the tarmac was laid and the trolley stops dead and everything falls off. If I hadn't had my 4 year old daughter with me I would have left the whole lot there and walked out at this point, I was genuinely hating my choice to venture out at all let alone come here and in serious ankle pain. On reflection I wish I had abandoned the the trolley and fallen goods, we followed the solo sign to the tills, a cafe, where do we go, nobody to help there, wander along and find an entrance and ask someone yes through some random gap in the wall. Once again poorly laid out, had to go down another isle as there was a guy blocking the main way and then caught on overhanging goods for sales that meant going round. My daughter described it as the puddle place to my wife as the car park is so poorly maintained I had water come over the top of my trainer trying to strap her in. If it could be my first 0 it would, I've never not enjoyed visiting a garden centre but this is it. If it wasn't in Cambridge they wouldn't survive as we have such poor choice they know people will.

Restaurant staff could do with proper customer care training. We weren't shown to our reserved table. We sat for 15 minutes before we asked for service only to be told you must place your order at the counter. After paying for our food, we were told there was a 40 minute wait. We found out by chance that there was an electronic call system when your order was ready. Severe lack of obvious information offered to us, the customer, to make our visit more enjoyable. Fish and chips was superb. Lemon Chicken very poor. Regretfully, we won't be rushing back anytime soon.

Good place for all your garden needs. I went there for indoor plants. They also have a nice cafe.

Went with a friend. Really disappointed with our food and how much you get for the price. Overly priced. My quiche was as dry as a bone, seems like it was sitting in the oven all day, or microwaved, no taste at all, I had to drink plenty of water to stop my dry mouth and throat from coughing as it was very dry. We won't be having food here again. Ridiculous prices and quantity and quality poor.

I ordered the full English minus baked beans and black pudding. The breakfast came with baked beans. What was most disappointing was that there was only HALF a mushroom and HALF a tomato. What a disgrace! Regardless that they had already made a saving. Total bill including a flat white coffee was £15. I think I will look elsewhere in the future.

Visited Conton Orchard Garden Centre late December so never got the best of it. Large centre selling more than just plants, there are household, cloths and a big Christmas desplay. We went between Christmas and New Year and all Christmas stuff was 50% off. Like many places the starting price is on the high side. We popped into the cafe and that was all very nice. Will revisit again during the summer to see all they have to offer. Worth a visit

Always enjoy visiting here for something to eat and drink, usually breakfast items such as a bacon and egg roll, scrambled eggs on toast. Food quality is always very good, and I think the staff there are excellent. Polite, friendly and always very helpful. Visit about two or three times a month. We have bought plants, bags of peat or compost, and I like the collection of greeting cards for sale. Always good to spend the money accumulated on the Loyalty card.

Sunday lunch. Loads of well cooked veg and tender meat. Only criticism was the vast amount of thick (bland) gravy poured over the entire meal. Would have preferred a gravy boat so could choose how much gravy to have. Unfortunately the gravy dominated all the other flavours - other wise would have been a delicious Sunday Roast. At £20 a head I would have expected delicious (non-generic) gravy that compliments the meal. Sticky toffee pudding was to die for ! Lots of warm sticky toffee sauce and a light and delicious sponge , and some lovely vanilla ice cream ! Staff were lovely , service quick and efficient. Lovely ambience. Minor tweak with the gravy recipe / and a gravy boat and would have been top marks !

£9 pounds for 3 cold takeaway sausage rolls at 4pm. Rip off. didn't display the price either hence ended up buying it as the guy had packed already. His friendly attitude doesn't cool the pain of such waste of money.
