Dobbies Garden Center in Perth & Kinross

Very sad place. Everything looks cheap and nasty. Except the food is not cheap... £9.50 for a prawn or chicken baguette, err no thanks. The £4 slice of cake tasted factory made, yuck. Cheap chair and tables. Won't be going back.

Dobbies must be in its death throes I was actually shocked about the state of the place we stopped off for a coffee nice bit of cake and look at some plants. Entering the store we see a vast swath has been cleared to accommodate the Christmas tat and it’s just generic crap. The cafe was just horrendous the sandwiches and rolls looked like a child had made them I’ve seen better offerings in the nursing home when I visit my gran. £3.25 for a pathetic dried up nibble of Bakewell slice or £4 for a slice of cake that’s been bought in from a wholesale supplier. The coffees are ok but half filled cups and ridiculous price you can just forget it. The seating area is just a bomb site strewn with food waste on tables and floor, we chose to sit in the dog friendly area and it’s just dawned on my why it was a cleaner area because the dogs are cleaning up. So went to look for plants the smell outside is wild a popped sewer? Someone die from eating in the cafe and body not found? And there’s hardly any plants to choose from, I felt sorry for the plants there all looking really uncared for. The play area has been tapped off for safety so really gives it that post apocalyptic feel. Back inside migrating towards the exit see that they now sell groceries, Waitrose ay the prices are wild! £9.99 for 4 neck oil IPAs it’s £7.50 in Tesco which is basically next door. However I am glad I went I can now warn people not to go there ever. I don’t know how things got this bad it used to be a great place with lovely cakes,coffees and plants. It’s a literal dump right now.

To break quite a long journey we pulled into this branch of Dobbies, we do visit other branches on a semi regulator as I'm a discount card member. Anyway the garden centre area was fine but they have serious issues in the cafe! Unbelievably poor and slow service and the cleanliness wasn't fantastic! The family getting served before us brought their food back to the counter with an issue, the chef came out and explained that the quality of the food supplied by Dobbies wasn't great and basically it's as good as it gets 😂 On talking to a lovely staff member we were told the problem is they can't get staff as it's not a nice place to work, sounds like an issue with the local management. In a nutshell lovely garden centre but terrible cafe.

Popped in to Dobbies Perth yesterday for a breakfast & was very disappointed, cooked breakfast food on offer & on view looked poor, the waitress serving was slow, after viewing what was on offer I opted for toast with beans on top , she didn’t butter the toast just plonked the beans on top, I then asked for a bacon roll you get 3 items but as I said nothing else looked appealing so opted for 2 portions of bacon & a mushroom , the 2 portions of bacon were put on a dry roll , again no butter , I had to stop her & say should it not be buttered? She then buttered it but the 2 tiny pieces of bacon were overbooked , fatty & lukewarm & hard , the mushroom was a quarter of a large mushroom & again lukewarm , coffee was fine , when I went to sit down in the dog friendly area it was dirty & the walls had paint flaking off, overall feel of the place is that it’s not getting the attention it should & lacking management? Not a nice environment to spend over £15 on 2 light breakfast items & I certainly wouldn’t recommend or go back again

Disgusting .. we were so shocked . I work in the food industry and I’m wondering why this place is still open . Staff looked exhausted and extremely unhappy . All surfaces were dirty . Lasagne was burnt and cold in middle .no cutlery .. coffee was cold , coffee cake tasted awful . Come on Dobbies .. you used to be the place to go for good food .. it’s not rocket science is it ! toilets are filthy , no decent gifts there to buy now and really run down .. disaster of a place ..

Am a regular customer at Dobbies but the last 6 months or so has seen the restaurant go right downhill with the actual restaurant being always piled up with dirty dishes. Ive previously had high teas here and they always prepare the table and make it look nice so I booked three High Teas, two days in advance for a birthday surprise. We arrived today to find there had been no table prepared. I spoke to a staff member in the restaurant who said just to try and find a table just now, I then saw him having an animated discussion with one of the kitchen staff who kept shaking her head. He then tried to take our orders and I explained again we had booked three High teas and didnt need to order. The staff member admitted that although the booking was visible on their system nobody had checked the bookings that morning and therefore there wasn’t anything arranged and they did not have the produce for a high tea. He had intended trying to cobble together a few traybakes and a sandwich. He then offered a refund. There is clearly a staffing issue if kitchen staff are not even checking their bookings. The birthday surprise was ruined and we wont be back in any shape or form and I will be cancelling my card there.

Just been to Dobbies Garden Centre Perth for coffee. Six of us meet there on a regular basis. Recently the food has been terrible but today we could not eat our scones. They were hard ,tasteless all in all not good. The coffee was cold the cappachino my friend could not drink cold with too much chocolate. Two days ago two of us had macaroni cheese which was ok but the side salad was old the lettuce was curled up and there was a little bit of onion not a salad in my eyes. The prices have recent gone up and so has our membership which I would not mind but the food is well below standard now The ladies toilets were dirty and smelt of urine. This is not the first time I spoke to a member of staff before as three toilets were unusable due to their dirty condition. The whole store is dirty with a dirty paper hankie which has been lying on the floor since my last visit. The carpets are suck down in places with plastic tape a trip hazard. Please can we have the old Dobbies back clean nice food.

Dobbies are pretty much all the same so you know what to expect. The cafe was bright and airy. Had the usual range of cakes and cooked food. Didn't use the garden centre. It's a good location if you're calling at nearby Huntingtower Castle.

Ordered 2 cappuccinos however when we sat down we noticed there was no froth on the drinks. Tasted terrible couldn’t take them back as there was a coach load of tourists just behind. Left without drinking. The scone was nice

Regular customers.... today we had a hospital appointment so went in for a quick coffee and cake to bide time ..2 coaches were there but we saw the cafe was clear .....there were 3 people ahead of us in queue for drinks. . One girl only doing the beverages ...slowly .. she cleared off twice once to get more cups....then a man wandered in with more crockery and cleared off to stand around at the food section .....we must have waited 15 mins or more to get 1 coffee ...you really need to sort the wait at beverages A couple behind us had hot food and after we got our 1 coffee the girl serving cleared off to kitchen again their food must have been cold. .there is always a wait at beverages needs sorted.

This restaurant has gone very badly down hill. Afternoon visit for tea and a scone was not great. Scone fell apart when trying to put butter on, that was after we finally found a table amongst the dirty uncleared tables. Dishes piled up by other visitors having to clear a table themselves. Place was generally not clean. Cutlery trays were full of crumbs, unfortunately not cutlery which we had to ask for. Disappointing as this was the go to place when we visit Perth.

We had to queue to order food then queue again to order tea or coffee then cross over to a central point and queue again to pay and collect cutlery then find a table which were all littered with dirty dishes by the time we found a table our food was cold. This is a terrible cafe. We won’t be back.

Quite slow service, food was nice, cafe is nice. Really put off by a staff member picking at the chips and dipping them into the customer gravy. Not seen that anywhere before, hope she washed her hands!!

As we were in Perth, we decided to go out to Dobbies for coffee and a cake. We had heard that it was very good and it was. It was much better set out than our local one. We were very impressed and had a walk round the whole building. The clothes section was very well laid out and we bought a few items. On then entering the cafe area, we saw al the cakes were very nicely set out and most inviting, so we decided to have a piece of blueberry cake. The coffee was good and very hot. The cafe was well set out with ample space between the tables. On using the toilets, I found they were spotless. There is a large car park available for clients.

Would not recommend. Arrived for breakfast and from the beginning it was a disaster. Breakfast is displayed on the counter but its a set menu and wasn't allowed to swap items that I didn't like. Once I received the breakfast I was then waiting for a coffee, service was ridiculously slow, staff are extremely unwelcoming & rude. by the time I got my drink and paid my breakfast was cold, the coffee was horrible, it tasted very weak and milk was burnt. Spoke to a younger gentleman about my issues & his response was to blame the way the restaurant works, completely ignoring the comments about service and the coffee, I ended up having to go elsewhere for my breakfast. My previous visits were a delight, lovely staff, fast and friendly service, was always greeted with a "good morning". Its the complete opposite now and I will not be returning.

Arrived for breakfast. Good selection of cakes, tray bakes etc. on display. Also a varied choice of Baguettes (but not served till 11.30am). There is a good choice of hot breakfast items however……by the time you wait in the queue for your hot drink…..then pay….your hot breakfast is only luke warm at best. When I say queue, if there are more than two folks in front waiting for drinks your breakfast will be cold by the time you make it to a table. Add insult to injury, two cafe members of staff (one senior) stood chatting at the entrance to the cafe. Neither took it upon themselves to help their colleagues to serve the customers more efficiently. Dobbies Cafe really needs to up its game. Sadly when my Dobbies membership expires I shall not be renewing. There are plenty of other good quality breakfast venues in Perth.

I do not like to give a bad review…however…I have no option but to say that the scones here are not scones at all…absolutely dreadful..stodgy…and I really do not know how they can sell them as scones…will not ever have them again…we go to Dobbies Perth on a regular basis as local to us…from now on these so called scones are off our menu…

Total disgraceful...cold food,coffee also cold...staff doing 3 jobs at once...tables littered with plates, cups...floor filthy..pity there prices didn't reflect the standard of there shop and floor...please avoid if possible...

My Mum, my young lab and I visited Dobbies Perth today for some lunch. We had the soup which was really very tasty. The restaurant staff were so friendly and a number of them came out to say hello to my dog. It was so nice to feel welcome with your dog! Just one negative is that the shop has gone downhill, not nearly as well stocked nor with the same variety or quality of stock that it used to offer. But we will definitely be back to the restaurant again soon.

My husband and I have been frequent customers of Dobbies Restaurants for many years and are extremely disappointed in the drop in standards over recent months. On 13th June we called in to Perth for coffee and scones however the scones were very small and looked unappetising! We spoke with a member of staff who stated that recent management policy had been to reduce costs across the board. While we were there another customer returned their cream scone as it was 'inedible' and the supervisor agreed that it was not acceptable. Other issues included there being no teapots, uncleared tables and lack of cutlery. It was noticeable that the numbers of customers was less than expected. Sadly this drop in standards does not seem to be confined to Perth as we had a similar experience in Stirling recently.

Visited Dobbies Perth today with my colleagues for lunch. There was only 2 things on the menu for vegans: one was not available and the other was quorn sausage and chips for just under £11. We went out for a special lunch (not unhealthy fake sausage and chips). Surely they could have come up with something a bit more inspiring and tasty. Also l'm not a child - that's what you'd expect on a child's menu. There was not even a vegan soup option! The server did not seem too bothered about making up something from the salad bar so I ended up sitting at the table with my colleagues drinking a small coffee while they all had their lunches. They were so apologetic while they eat. It was too late for us to get our lunch somewhere else. I was so embarrassed. In this day and age where plant based/vegan is so widely promoted as one means of saving the planet then surely a company such as Dobbies should be embracing this? I won't be back and I'm pretty sure my colleagues said they won't be back either. In fact both of them complained about the poor quality of their food too. Also, the toilets were filthy - all dirt and dust on the floor around the toilets. All round bad experience.

Clothing assistant seems rude and unhelpful. Upon my partner trying something on and deciding the style was not for him, they grunted and seemed dissatisfied. Usually staff would ask if there is anything else they could help with/offer any other options however this was not an offer extended to us. Although I think this was a one-off experience, it was disheartening and left my partner feeling self conscious.

On the 1st May we had our 2 "free" coffees and 2 x cream scone offer - overall pleased but several comments - coffee queue "busy" - is there a better way of doing"? Cutlery trays were empty and sugars on the table sparse - although tables were being cleared the floor was "dirty" - all in all the cafe needed a "deep clean." Also the receipts do not give the current points total - why?

Restaurant was almost empty (unusual for such a place on a Sunday lunchtime) - we should've taken the hint! Had to queue three separate times to buy 1 coffee, one can of juice and two slices of cake. There were plenty of staff, just not doing much of anything in a lot of cases, not even acknowledging we were there. Their one coffee machine wasn't working (but they did have 4 signs saying there was no hot choc either) so we had to queue for the self-service coffee machine (again, only one) and the staff stood behind the coffee counter watching the elderly couples who couldn't figure it out for a while. Paying was also an ordeal with the non-coffee-making staff taking their time discussing logins and not letting on we were there. On the plus side, the cakes were nice.

My wife had the 2 x free coffees as part of our Dobbies card and 2 x cream scones and the visit was OK but the restaurant is getting a little tired and needs a clean although the scones and coffee were standard fare - the staff were friendly but it takes a long time to prepare the coffees - there is always a queue even when the restaurant is quiet - a new machine or a second one would be an advantage

Dropped in for breakfast on a trip North. To start no bacon, no fried eggs no China for tea or coffee!!! Paper cups only!! Finding a clean table, major task!! Either they hadn’t been cleared and obviously not cleaned either. Perhaps that was the reason for paper cups?? We had to clear a space and use wipes to clean the surface!!! Food only edible being almost lukewarm at best, the small bit of mushy tomato was slightly warmer, toast was brick hard!!! Staff at the service area, well there was enough of them but let’s leave it at that!! Will bypass on any future trips unless I read something good about this place. I’ve given them a one only because the tea was hot and drinkable!! Horrible!!

I visited Dobbies today with a group of people who have learning disabilities, the service we received was excellent the staff were very polite and helpful, which made the experience a pleasure.

We stayed with our families at the nearby Travelodge and went here for breakfast. Everyone really enjoyed the food and the service was great. Good food at great prices.

We use Dobbies a lot for breakfast, lunch and coffee. Never had a bad experience in good times or in bad. Great setup in COVID times and very safe

We had 2 for 1 fish and chips today. Never again! Looked appetizing but fish was grey and dried up and tasted awful. So disappointing as have often had breakfast and afternoon tea here. Learned our lesson and will avoid Dobbies lunches in future

Felt very safe after meeting a dear friend for lunch today. Hand sanitizer widely available, good social distancing and the disabled toilet was fantastic as well as bein spotless. Staff friendly and helpful. Good soup too. Great experience

Visited on a 2 for 1 deal for afternoon tea and it was excellent. Very well organised on arrival and friendly staff served an excellent tea

At just over £4 I've seen plates with more food, however it's quality over quantity - from the best g/f sausages I've tastes to fluffy scrambled eggs and a tasty slice of g/f toast and butter, bacon and mushrooms. Great start to the day!

Nice visit mid morning before busier lunch time. Prompt and safe service. Good choices on breakfast menu. Oh and cakes scrummy as always.

Mi madre y yo tomamos el té de la tarde aquí el fin de semana pasado. La comida era deliciosa, todo el personal era muy amable y atento y teníamos interminables tazas de té mientras disfrutábamos de nuestro placer.Las mesas estaban bien separadas y se despejaron y limpiaron muy rápidamente. También había antibacterianos fácilmente disponibles y estaban haciendo un buen seguimiento y rastreo en la entrada.

There were anti-bacterial wipes and spray stations throughout the store, staff in restaurant were friendly and helpful, tables were cleared promptly. One way system in operation the restaurant, Only downside was the noise levels were high.

Fuimos aquí la semana pasada y vimos que la cafetería estaba abierta, así que pensamos en ir a desayunar. Comí tostadas con tocino y mi compañero desayunó. Nos sirvieron rápidamente y tomamos nuestro té y había muchos asientos, así que nos sentamos y comenzamos a comer. Ambos hicimos un comentario sobre la temperatura de la comida. Hacía frío. Todo ello. Yo no finlandés mi sándwich de tocino y mi compañero tampoco finlandés el desayuno. El té estaba caliente. Eso fue lo mejor de todo. Muy decepcionante.

Went to the Garden center just to pass an afternoon! Had the coffee and cream scones. Delicious. Looked round the center and went back again to this lovely restaurant. Staff very helpful and friendly. Cream scones again!!! Very busy but tables cleared very quickly. Will definitely recommend.

Breakfast and lunch have quite a few options, if you get in early at the start of each it’s better as food left under the hot lamps dry up a bit. Coffee and many types of scones and cakes is really good and the portions are generous.

Visit the restaurant for lunch which we do often normally fish portion is a full size fish but today was one fish cut between the two off us and was very small its the first time l have came away from the restaurant disappointed ...

Where else can you get a 7 item hot breakfast (incluidng haggis) for a fiver? ..and with toast? As individual members we get two free hot drinks a month each and it is one of the few places that supplies soya and Oat Milk without extra money. Just love it.

This is a busy place! But it is always kept clean and tidy and always has a good range of food and drinks available. The sandwiches and sweet treats are our favourite things to eat here, but my children adore the picnic boxes they sell too. My only criticism is I wish they had a soft play area like Stirling or Milngavie do. Worth a visit.

I have been coming to this Dobbies Cafe for a long time and the standard has been going down. Today was the worst yet. Lukewarm tea, long queues at the checkout, dirty tables, no cutlery. No teapots, no filled milk jugs so you have to stand in yet another queue to get milk. I am here at least once a month to meet family but now looking for somewhere else.

My wife and I had a prearranged afternoon tea in Dobbies cafe today-initial confusion as to the booking but after that the service was good- choice of filled sandwiches. scones and cake selection. Presentation good with clean red and white clothes on the table and matching red napkins-we even had a "leftover doggy bag" - overall a good way to spend an hour or so and made the Christmas £25 voucher a "nice surprise" - miss breakfast and lunch before your visit!!

Came here for some breakfast on 2.1 with family and was very pleasantly surprised if I’m honest! Based on my experience at a another Dobbies restaurant I wasn’t really expecting much, but the food was nice and very reasonably priced. The staff were efficient and polite, and the service quick. Would happily return.

Popped in for a bite to eat. By the time we got through checkout the meal was cold, coffees were lukewarm. Table was dirty and we had to clean it ourselves and the floor was covered in crumbs.

Okay it's a Sunday leading up to Christmas, your serving turkey (which was good) but get a grip...people want their food and drinks hot..one person struggling on the till?! Eventually someone else came and helped.The food was good but could have been hotter due to the queue.No Christmas music in the restaurant area.Not any smiling faces and Christmas cheer from the staff who were obviously under pressure but management should be able to sort the rotas out better... I think?!Anyway Merry Christmas to you.

Called in fo a coffee on Sunday at 7th December 19 however there were no cups at self service counter I asked over at the other station for two cups as there was none over at the other side the first person ignored me the next one asked if she could help long hair polish girl again asked for two cups as there was none at the other station she promptly slammed two cups down which chipped one of the cups then rudely shouted we're BUSY

Visited today for coffee and a "free mince pie" - member of Dobbies Plus Club incentive - mince rather small and requested "hot" - it was "cold" - asked for balance of points - floor needed a sweep - coffee was luke warm - cafe assistant rather vague when taking order - this was all at 09:30 in the morning - "long day ahead" for staff!! - Overpriced!!

Recently visited dobbies for some lunch as I do a couple of times a month. I was shocked by the attitude of one member of staff, raising her voice at other members of staff, this should not be done around customers, maybe behind closed doors would have been better, food was good as usual, just would like to see a change in the staffs attitude & faster service!

Visité el 16 de octubre de 2019 con mi abuela y me horrorizó lo horrible que era el personal. Cuando fuimos a pedir nuestros sándwiches, estábamos un poco indecisos, pero cortésmente le pregunté si podíamos tener un momento para decidir en qué momento el miembro del personal de mayor rango le dijo a su colega que todavía están decidiendo. Cuando fuimos a buscar un poco de té, la barista (Lucy, que era especialmente horrible) presentó una taza de té con una mancha de lápiz labial y no la reemplazó por una limpia hasta después de preguntarle cortésmente varias veces. Esencialmente, todos los miembros del personal de la barra uno estaban resoplando cuando mi abuela de 92 años estaba luchando y era completamente inútil. La comida estuvo bien. Pedimos dos sándwiches de tocino, brie y arándanos tostados estaban bien. La ensalada no tenía aderezo y nuestras batatas fritas estaban frías.

He usado Dobbies a menudo, especialmente sus restaurantes. Visité su restaurante de Perth el 10 de octubre y noté que los estándares habían caído dramáticamente. El desayuno apenas estaba caliente. Un miembro del personal de la caja fue muy grosero. No he experimentado esto antes en Perth, por lo que quizás debería revisarse una revisión de los cambios recientes. Por favor, no dejes caer los estándares.

Nos alojamos en Travel Lodge a 9, que es tranquilo y barato, pagas por la falta de servicios, pero justo al lado está el centro de jardinería de Dobbies, ideal para el desayuno, abre a las 9 y es como entrar a un restaurante del hotel, la comida es excelente y el personal es amable. amable, es muy limpio, caminas por la tienda para llegar al restaurante y ya está preparado para Navidad, déjame ser el primero en desearle feliz Navidad

Mi esposa y yo nos alojamos en el cercano Travelodge recientemente (decepcionante, según mi crítica de Tripadvisor), y el personal del hotel nos recomendó tomar nuestro desayuno en Dobbies.

Primera vez que he estado en un centro de Dobbies.

It must be a year since we visited this Dobbies and the cafe is much improved.

A chance to buy some lovely plants for the garden and to have coffee and cake. For me an amazing Victoria sandwich of three levels and flavoursome rapsberry jelly layers. My friend had the lovely looking strawberry tart. she said the pastry was just right. The coffee was excellent.

Not a bad place to stop for a coffee and if its convenient for you journey to take a stop here then do but its not great or special. Toilets made up for the average coffee.

Very average food, but a convenient location to catch up with a friend. Lunch time, 1 member of staff on the till, although there were 3 tills. We queued so long to pay, the food was cold by the time we got to the table. Freshly cooked ham, egg and chips, took time to prepare and was ready at the same time I got to the table.....

We had the Chicken, Ham, and Leek Pie. It was very tasty, however a bit overdone with a thickness of the pastry. The cheesecake was very good. With a lovely pot of tea.

The restaurant staff really deserve a big thank you they work very hard & do an excellent job especially when large groups arrive by coach. On Saturday they happily served three coaches within an hour most of the staff missing their breaks to do this.. Big thank you to everyone. Food very good & reasonably priced. Plenty seating & tables cleaned regularly. Overall Excellent.

Food was very good for the price we paid we had meals for 4 and drinks the service was OK but a bit rushed at the start of the servery.

Today, i ordered in Dobbies Ham and Eggs and Chips...What came: 4 slices of Ham (two would have been plenty), straight out of the packet, i.e. Ice cold, two fried eggs, rock hard, nearly dusted out of my ears and chips, which, no doubt, had been kept "warm", since they were soggy and lukewarm.

Only one redeeming thing was the price, a traditional and wee breakfast and two pots of tea, just over £14. Items had obviously been lying on hot plate for sometime, fried egg inedible, toast cold, I could go on. I would suggest a radicle change, better quality produce and more frequent cooking if it. We won’t be back!

Food suffered from being on the cool side. Always a problem with hotplate servery. Toast again cold. £5 for Traditional breakfast - Ok but I left half of it because it was too cold to enjoy

My husband and I go to Dobbies onec a month and always enjoyed the 7 item breakfast. You could chose the items you liked from a great selection. On our recent visit we were disappointed to find the menu has changed. It is set breakfast choices I asked if I could swap a couple of items to be told no I could only swap 1 item. I was then told toast is not included with the small breakfast. Don't think we will be going back as there are loads of restaurants nearby that allow you to decide what you want on your breakfast

If you are passing on the A9 do call in your morning, lunch or afternoon sustenance. You will not be disappointed. The food is well presented and delicious. It is definitely a five star garden centre restaurant.

We checked website on a Friday - it says open until 7pm, even sign outside says 7pm. Made special trip for food at 5:45 and found cafe closed !!

I love this Dobbies and the food is good and staff very helpful. We just had a sandwich and coffee the only down side was the salad with the sandwich it didn't look very fresh so didn't eat it. Love walking around after and the plants are beautiful

If your meeting a pal or having a lunch with your gran this place is good.

An excellent garden centre with healthy and well maintained plants. However the restaurant let's the place down, it is totally disorganised.

Thank you for providing the most excellent spread of food and service for my Mum’s funeral tea. She loved Dobbie’s so it was fitting for us to come. Everything was superb. Thank you again.

Stopped here for lunch on way to Aberfeldy fir weekend, lunch was good, very busy place, nice merchandise on sale throughout aswell

When we stay at the Perth A9 Travelodge we have breakfast here. There's a wide range of breakfast foods on the menu. Opens at 9am on Sundays.

Lovely restaurant, helpful staff, nice coffee. However, the coffee and walnut cake was very dry in places. I think it had been sitting out for a day or so! Disappointing.

Went in for a look around and a little shopping, I had coffee and Shortbread when I was in, Staff are very friendly and the restaurant is a fair size with some comfortable seating and coffee tables, very relaxing
