Our experience in the restaurant was awful. Ordered a sandwich for myself and sandwich and chips for daughter. My sandwich and daughters chips were brought out. After another 15 minutes I asked when daughters sandwich would arrive to be told they were out of stock. Unbelievable nobody told us and left us sitting waiting. Staff were clearly not trained and communication horrendous

Went to buy some plants everything ok lots of choice. Only issue was at the tills although someone did come and explain the systems were getting rebouted. Was good that we weren't waiting not knowing what was causing the queue.
Spoilt for choice
I visited your store with my Mother and my son just for a coffee and a snack. But we HAD to look in your store and I came across your great supply of greetings cards. As I only have 1 event coming up I only purchased 1 of your cards but I will be back!

Great selection of plants
Great selection of plants, I went in looking for some bedding plants and a new planter. All the plants were very lovingly looked after. Prices fair and on a good deal. I’ve received so many compliments on the plants and they are flourishing! Also picked up a recommended soil and it’s fantastic - best soil I’ve used and it’s dobbies own. Really clean shop with great variety of homewear too!
Well done Dobbies.
Displays are well laid out and inviting.
A good range of plants, gifts, clothing, pet products and gardening paraphernalia. Not to mention the cafe, restaurant, fish keepers and Sainsbury.
The only problem is I always buy more than I intended.
Staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
All round an enjoyable experience.

As usual it is a pleasure to visit Dobbies Dunfermline with a staff that is always available to help your needs. PS And the Scones are yummy. 😋😋
Coffee and Cake
On our visit we enjoyed refreshments in your cafe. It was busy but the staff on the coffee etc counter worked as quick as they could but maintaining good service.
As an observation the ‘dining area’ was quieter and we could see clearly 4 members of staff chatting which did not give off a good impression to people standing queuing. Perhaps a supervisor should have picked up on this and utilized the staff better.
