High Trees Coffee Shop - Leeds

Went to buy a xmas tree for 2nd year running. Excellent customer service. Dealt with Andrew who is brilliant. Knowledgeable and really helpful. Helped me choose a tree (I wanted a thinish one am particular)!, he helped cut it so it would easily go into a tree stand, chopped off the branches we didn't need at the bottom, helped me to the car to get the 6.5ft tree into my small VW etc and went out of his way to be very helpful. Amazing service thank you

I've visited most of the garden centres around Leeds but regularly return to this one as an avid gardener. They have a great selection of both indoor and outdoor plants and tools, with a particular highlight being the pond plants (I struggled to find pond plants at most other garden centres). I also come back regularly as they supply Dalesfoot wool compost which is a great peat free compost. Lastly, I want to comment on the staff here as I have found them to be incredibly helpful with any and all enquiries giving practical and helpful advice and knowledge. I will say the layout can (like many garden centres) be a bit confusing with multiple undercover sections but overall I think the selection of plants and helpfully staff makes this 5 star.

Quirky show rooms but then the plant areas were higgidely piggledy for the trees, bushes. Other areas were better. I'd certainly return because it's not part of a huge chain where everything is uniform and sterile. Breakfast sandwich I'd fully recommend and the slices of cake.

Much improved since our last visit. There seems to have been some investment. It's still quite shabby but that's the appeal. A good range of plants and an increased range of gardening stuff too, although some stock appears slightly dated dusty. A nice cafe. We just had coffee and cake but others were eating Sunday lunch. The atmosphere was pleasant and the whole place wasn't crammed full of irrelevant chintz like other local garden centres.

Small but growing with current expansion works. Not posh but a comfortable space where you can get a cuppa. Not really suitable for anyone on wheelchair or with mobility issues many different uneven levels.
