Had lunch here on the 18/03/24. All staff were beru friendly and smiley, food was delicious and reasonably priced (lovely big portions) cafe was clean and welcoming. Jordy served us and he was fantastic, very chatty and helpful! An asset to the cafe and the business as a whole! Thank you! We will be back :)

The cleanliness of the cafe area to the right-hand side as you enter the restaurant is shocking. All the sofas and chairs are absolutely disgusting, covered in food and drink stains. When pointing this out to the man, I assume was the manager, I was told that they are infact clean, they just look dirty! We witnessed numerous people come in, look at them and go and sit elsewhere. In addition, tables were left dirty and when they were cleared, nothing was wiped down. The standard in the restaurant really has gone down recently, as has the whole store!* I see the cleanliness of the seating was mentioned about a month ago. Clearly, nothing has been done to rectify this!In response you your reply, where you state that "you feel this has not been improved"....it's not that I feel it hasn't improved, it is in fact worse than that it previously was. Look at the seating now and compare it to the pictures uploaded over the last 12 months, where people have made the same comments and you will see that the condition of the seating is worse than before. They are absolutely filthy and unhygienic! Like I said previously, one of many things that has gotten worse in the store in recent years.

I do love a trip to Dobbies. I really do, but today was more of a miss than a hit unfortunately. 5 of us went to the cafe for lunch. 3 of us ordered panini's only to be presented with 3.... Not even toasties, just what we'd ordered but just on toast. I'd only ordered a cheese and tomatoe panini but what was put down in front of me was basically cheese on toast. Really wasn't impressed at all. The two others got tuna melts, again on toast despite ordering panini's. Even if we had ordered them as toasties. These were not toasties and they were pretty poor quality at that. Even the side salads didn't make up for it, tiny portions. For what was almost £9 a pop we left both hungry and annoyed.

Dobbies Edinburgh very disappointing. Houseplants- not great selection but pricey. Food hall, what is happening as large area cleared? Space where gifts and accessories were are now seeds and seedlings, too large an area for this. Kitchen accessories shelves bare and notice saying waiting for new Spring stock - spring started on 1st March and it is now 16th! This garden centre used to be a "go to" for me with purchases always made, not any longer I shall find an alternative.

Restaurant service is shockingly slow. 25 mins to get an order in for food - and that?s after going and standing at their till and act like i was wanting to pay a bill. Staff enthusiasm was like blood from a stone.

Dobbies plants and goods are wonderful. However just popped in to have a coffee and cake and couldn't get a seat at a clean table . Every table was littered with old coffee cups and plates. Dont think anyone had been out to clear them all morning. The couches are filthy bad stains everywhere. I finaly got a table where i had to clear myself the table was wobbly and the chairs were broken. Come on Dobbies you have let your standers slip. Very disappointed ?.

Stopped to charge the car and have a snack. Great place for everything, food, gifts, plants etc. Ate in the restaurant, food was really good.

Very slow service at coffee counter. Not the fault of staff there was only 2 staff on with a queue of at least 20 people. Coffee was cold because they are now using machines that can't cope with volume of use. There were no knives or teaspoons as hadn't been replenished this was at lunchtime. Becoming very unhappy with Dobbies all round.
