Cafe at Dobbies, Aberdeen
The cafe has three seating options. The main one is inside the building. There is also
an outdoor seating area and seating in the attached conservatory.
Occasionally we come across cafes which are serving excellent food,
in particularly appealing surroundings and with staff who are pleasant and helpful.
This Dobbies, Aberdeen cafe meets all those criteria. And it's no secret to the
locals! When we visited at around 11.00 on a Wednesday, the cafe was packed out. The
level of chatter was satisfyingly high, a sure sign of an excellent cafe.
Specials are served for around �7 each, paninis, sandwiches and baguettes at
�4 to �5. Coffees, teas and cakes are all excellent (see above picture). We recommend this
cafe highly. HOUSE PLANTS
Prices represented good value. As well as the normal range of flowering plants,
there was a good selection of bonsai and cacti. INDOOR SALES AREA
Compared to the rest of the garden centre, the indoor sales area was
relatively uncrowded. The normal range of cards, books and other items were all
there. In addition, there was a section devoted to Scottish gift type produce.
Shortbread, preserves, cakes and the like. Access for wheelchairs was
possible but slightly restricted in many parts indoors.

CAFE AT DOBBIES GARDEN CENTRE ABERDEEN
The range of house plants was exceptionally large for a garden centre of this
size. They were attractively laid out and in tip top conditions.
Wheelchairs (no cost) were available at the front door. Access around this garden centre was
restricted in some places.
Male, female, disabled and baby facilities were all available. They were clean and
functional.
Lots of car parking was available but some of it was on uneven ground.DIRECTIONS AND CONTACT FOR DOBBIES ABERDEEN

SUMMARY
Much more of a real garden centre than a department store with plants tacked on. A great
resource dor the local gardeners. Top marks go to the cafe for food quality, helpful staff
and a great atmosphere.
