What User doesn't like about Shades Of Green Coffee Shop:
The staff at the cafe do not seem to appreciate their customers. When they are not loudly joking and laughing like hyenas at a table, their service comes off as resentful. I can only assume that they must be family, as this kind of attitude is detrimental to the business. I will not be returning, as there are plenty of other options available. View all feedback. What Johnlobster likes about Shades Of Green Coffee Shop:
Had a coffee and cheese scone here when visiting shades of green garden centre. Very good scones indeed and friendly staff. Plenty of people having full meals as well. A nice little garden centre. View all feedback.

The cafe at the garden centre offers a wide variety of food and drinks at reasonable prices. While some customers have complained about the staff, the overall experience seems positive. The roast beef dinners and scones are particularly delicious, and the portion sizes are generous. The cafe is clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the garden centre itself is worth exploring. Despite some minor issues reported by customers, the general consensus is that the cafe is a good choice for a meal or a coffee. The Sunday lunch in particular exceeded expectations and provided a pleasant dining experience for one family reunion.

The cafe prices are ludicrous. £3.45 for a toasted tea cake with barely any fruit in it is ridiculous as is a fiver for two cups of tea and £9 for a cooked brea...
