Reviews in Dorchester

We took our daughter as a birthday treat. Friendly staff who talked to us about each of the cats, their traits and likes/dislikes. There were 4 cats in total, so less than other cafes we have visited, but we still got the opportunity to stroke and play with each of them. We did not eat, but the food looked great, but we had hot drinks. It was a pleasant way to spend just over an hour if you love cats!

We had an absolutely amazing time at Tabby Terrace on Sunday 29.03.26. Such a lovely lady hosting (apologies, I can't remember her name) but she did a fantastic job of explaining everything and taking our orders, bringing out the food etc. Very friendly and helpful. Didn't see the chef as it was pretty busy but the food was absolutely lovely. Drinks a little pricey, especially the soft drinks but no more than in other cafes. I couldn't find the menu online prior to going which would have been handy as there were 6 of us and 2 travelled separately and got held up, so we could have ordered for them, but apart from that it was amazing and we will certainly be back. The kitties were so friendly and came up to say hello to people as they were coming in. Very well looked after with lots of toys, beds and scratch posts etc. We were very impressed with Bubbles' party trick of catching treats in his paws!!

Fantastic really enjoyed it all food atmosphere and especially the cats and the the lovely host just loved it all

Super friendly atmosphere. The lady there on Thursday was very kind and polite. The cats are super cute and friendly overall a great experience.

Beautiful cafe with excellent service. Cake was delicious and coffee was great. Cats are soooo cute. An amazing experience and would definitely go again. Would highly recommend. Thank you

A lovely time spent with gorgeous, friendly cats! Chocolate brownies were tasty, the staff wonderful and they decorated with birthday banners in advance for my daughter’s birthday. Will definitely return!

A lovely and relaxed experience. It was such a great experience! Myself , sister and nephew took my mum for Mother’s Day and she loved every minute. The cats were friendly and confident and the staff were really nice too. The food was yummy and drinks were too. Compared to another cat cafe we have been too this is by far the best !

We had a lovely visit to Tabby Terrace and enjoyed meeting the kitties! It was a lovely relaxing environment. The only suggestion I would make is regarding food, I didn’t see any information online beforehand and didn’t realise that you had an all day breakfast/brunch menu, so we’d eaten lunch before coming and planned to have coffee and cake. However there was only one cake available. We would come again though, my children loved playing with the cats

We had a lovely time at the Tabby Café yesterday. The cats were really playful and the food was good. I had a caramel latte and I was amazed that they even had sugar free syrup for the coffee. Lovely place.

I took my mum & kids as a treat. Overall we enjoyed ourselves, especially my cat mad daughter. It was lovely that the staff offered treats to the kids to help them interact with the cats. The cats all looked super well cared for and had plenty of freedom. Everywhere looked clean. However we had some disappointment in that my mum is disabled and although can walk she asked for a (hard) chair to sit on to reduce pain from arthritis and was told no. In the end after having to switch allocated tables, she was able to sit on a sofa rather then the floor level window seat, but even this caused her pain. Please consider investing in a couple of extra chairs for elderly who prefer to sit on a proper hard chair. I was confused about what to do on entry to the cafe so it would be great if you can include more information on your bookings page/website (that tables are pre-allocated, you must wait to be seated, and you pay at the end) as this would've smoothed things out for us. Lastly, I accept the £4 entry involves covering overheads and cat care - but the £3.60 for a can of coke seems excessive! I would probably return based on how much my kids enjoyed it, but based on cost we could only afford to come as a treat!

We had a pleasant and relaxing 80 mins. There was no worry about paying for entry or drinks etc when we arrived this was happily settled at the end. Staff were friendly, cats were loving. My daughter who loves cats absolutely enjoyed the experience.

Lovely cat cafe, cats were very friendly and clearly well loved. Our waitress was smiley and the food was lovely. The lady I assume is the owner was less smiley and I felt we were slightly inconveniencing her by being there. Would take our children back as they loved it but not sure I'd return without them.

Absolutely lovely cat cafe. Very chilled atmosphere, lovely staff and beautiful friendly cats. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back. Thank you

Food was very well prepared and excellent quality, staff were brilliant Cats were amazingly good while we were eating they didn't bother us at all Will be visiting again

We took our two year old granddaughter yesterday and had a lovely time. The staff were lovely the food was good and the cats were really cute.will definitely return

Took my daughter for 30th birthday hot chocolate and cats treat! Cats were so friendly and playful. There was a happy birthday sign and cat party hats! They came running up to us when we got there and enjoyed their treats. The hot chocolate was perfectly made. There were cakes on offer which looked very tasty but no food is cooked in term time. We heard stories about the cats and there were lots of play areas and toys for them. A lovely experience. Will certainly visit again.

Lovely owner, lovely cats and lovely coffee! Thank you so much... would 100% recommend this place <3
