Dobbies Garden Centres - York Anmeldelser 269

The lady at the till was brilliant, suggested some easy seeds for beginners to go with my cornflowers. Very friendly!

I visited my local Dobbie’s/York store a couple of weeks ago. The staff were very knowledgable & helpful & suggested I could enjoy a significant discount if I signed-up for a loyalty card, which I duly did.

I received my new discount card within 3 days & I am looking forward to using it very soon.

I didn’t find the café such a pleasant experience - although the staff were friendly the food for sale was very average. Admittedly, I just had some cake I didn’t order any hot food but will try this next time I visit!

Lovely staff, still not back to pre covid levels? but really helpful

Excellent place to visit plenty of therapy for the gardeners. And then in the cafe for a coffee and peice of lovely cake

The plants all look well tended and healthy. The assistants helpfully and pleasant - and we were more than happy with the price of the plants we bought.

Really enjoy every visit. There’s a good choice.

I do not wish to review what I saw today but would encourage you to upgrade your restaurant. It is like a canteen. No ambience at all. The staff are working well. I hear your restaurants on other sites is excellent. Some money spent in York would be appreciated.

My Ponsettia lasted 5 days which was very disappointing and Dobbies is abit of a trip so I was unable to return it. I did take a photo whilst it was looking very forlorn!

Lovely helpful staff. Good quality gifts, would be nice if they were a little cheaper but they are nicely presented.

My husband and I had breakfast with two of our grandchildren and Santa this morning. It was just superb from start to finish. Met by the elves. A delicious breakfast. Fun and games with the elves and then a visit from the big man himself. An hour and a half of absolute magic. We’ll done Dobbies. Would recommend to anyone looking for a brilliant Santa experience

I recently bought a Poinsettia plant at a cost of £7.99. It didn't last one week. The leaves dropped off and it looked pathetic, a complete waste of money. I bought another one from Morrisons at a cost of £3 and it is lovely.

As it is the only garden centre near me I am pleased it has a good range of plants and assorted garden equipment.
Prices do seem to be a bit on the high end.
Coffee shop only doing drinks and cake not cheap!

Had to wait until somebody came to staff the till, as she was busy attending to stock. Four customers were waiting. Some could have easily walked through without paying, especially if they had small items.

All staff helpful ,courteous and friendly. Cafe staff under pressure when were there but still smiling and friendly.

Just still disappointed with York Dobbies due to the lack of choice in the cafe due to not having a chef for at least 6 months. We see the offers advertised but we are unable to access and benefit from these.

As always, the goods for sale were great but unfortunately the restaurant is very basic and more like a second-rate cafe . It lets down what would otherwise be an enjoyable visit.

Nice shop with good quality plants and friendly staff

Lots of plants requiring attention but also lots of variety.Would look more alluring if time was spent tidying up etc.Cafe was ok but very little choice unless all you wanted was a hot drink and a bun! Is this the future.

A good variety of garden products. Seasonal products are great too. The staff are really helpful and seem to enjoy working there. Worth a visit.
