Reviews in Dorchester

Took my wife here for a birthday treat, coffee's, service and staff were excellent. The cats were really cute and very playfull which added to a great time. We didn't have food but I can imagine it would be top notch. Would highly recommend a visit to for any cat lover. If your not you will be after a visit.

We had a lovely time celebrating my son’s birthday at Tabby Terrace - he & my daughter loved it and fully intend to return! They were so happy to find they could buy fun cat-based items that were for sale, too. In quite a few of the other reviews, I notice criticisms about it being expensive. And it does cost more than your average cafe but I feel it’s justified as you are getting a unique experience which is far more special and memorable than anything a normal tearoom or coffee shop can offer. The kittens were very sweet, we only really saw Sushi but he more than made up for the others by absolutely spoiling us with attention. My only complaint would be that it was very cold, so after 90 minutes we were refrigerated! Don’t know if their heating had failed but on looking I couldn’t see any sign of a heater anywhere in the cafe…. Tabby Terrace was very popular when we visited - fully booked all day - and we hope people continue to flood in. With so many high street shops closing, it’s such a pleasure to see enterprising small businesses like this that offer something refreshingly different.

Great place - fab idea! Only 4 cats there but they were all very entertaining & playful. My family really enjoyed watching them. £2.50 entrance fee was reasonable considering another cat cafe I’ve been to charges £5 entrance! Food took a really long time to be served but was very nice when it eventually arrived. Cans of drinks are too overpriced at £3.40 though. The staff were friendly & very knowledgeable about the cats - overall a nice little cafe xx

We booked a table for my daughter as it was her birthday treat and she loves cats. So just the 3 of us. We knew about the £2.50 entry fee, but find it rather extortionate. We ordered lunch as it was 1pm, food was lovely, but over priced for what we had and £3.50 for a can of Fanta!!! We were the only ones in the cafe and it was freezing, we were offered one blanket between us. The cats didn’t really interact with us, apart from when food was brought and one jumped on the table. We were only there for 40 minutes as too cold to stay any longer.

A lovely space, friendly staff, good breakfast and, of course, beautiful cats. 4 darling kittens today: Sushi, Beans, Bubble and Squeak, whose cute antics were a joy to behold. Highly recommended for cat lovers.

We had the greatest visit yesterday, food and drinks were all great. I don’t have any issues with paying the £2.50 entrance fee, which is advertised so shouldn’t come as a shock. It’s not just for the cats upkeep, it’s for all the other overheads too, it’s a small business after all. And ultimately we went to see the cats who were all super friendly and very sweet! We will definitely visit again.

Amazing Experience - cats were friendly and sociable, food was nice and the staff were so incredibly friendly and happy to answer any questions- will definitely visit again :)

Came today. Children loved it and the cats were lovely but it felt very unfinished, wasn't at all clean and not very comfortable. Food was expensive which in itself isn't a problem but the quality was poor for the price. Staff were very friendly. A £2.50 entry per person seems extortionate...I understand the cats need looking after, but there is only four of them. It doesn't cost me that much to look after three dogs a month! The idea is great but I would suggest giving the place a decorate, a clean and one or two more cats!

We visited yesterday and were amazed at how lovely it was! The cafe has a great layout with comfortable seating and clean facilities. The cats are well cared for and friendly. The food and drink available was also great. Looking forward to visiting again.

What a lovely place to visit ! The kittens were so cute & very sociable. My Grandson from Oxford wants to move here now !!

Visited yesterday with the children I care for. Was overwhelmed with disappointment. Even though I booked the table a few weeks before we were on a “table” which was some pillows on a windowsill which was very uncomfortable. Didn’t order food because I didn’t want to eat off my lap. It’s also an extortionately priced experience with already paying £7.50 before drinks and the fact that squash cost £1.75 and a can of soft drink was £3.40. Seems quite steep. The cats weren’t very active, which of course isn’t the cafes fault but the children we upset they couldn’t see more. The staff were very friendly and the service was okay. Wouldn’t be rushing back unfortunately because the whole experience only occupied the children for 26 minutes…. Nice unique idea tho.

This is our second time hear and we had such a lovely time. Service was quick, there is a variety of food available to cater for most. Prices were reasonable for what we had. The cats are just gorgeous. There was one particularly playful cat who really enjoyed playing with the toys with us. We sat in the window, it was the prefect spot to watch the cats exploring there's environment. We had booked online but they were able to take some walk in while we were there, so worth a try.

We love coming to the cat café. The staff are really lovely, friendly, attentive, nothing is too much trouble. The cats are well cared for and full of fun. They have a small but tasty menu, in fairness this is not the point of the cafe, we are there too interact with the cats. I take my mum. she loves cats but cannot care for one herself any longer, she loves to go. Please use them, we want them to stay

We had a lovely time with the kittens, they are so cute! The staff were very kind and helpful. The hot chocolate was delicious! There was a colouring-in area where children can draw a picture of the cats and they put them on the wall which is really nice to see. We will definitely be back for another visit soon!

What can i say, what an amazing experience.. The kittens are so sweet, very playful and happy with visitors. Hot chocolate is amazing. Staff are lovely. Our 2nd visit and not last.

Mum had a lovely time with the cats. The staff are very welcoming. The three of us had food, delicious, hot and plenty of it. A new business which offers a lot of pleasure if you love cats. The set up and care for the cats is obvious, well done team, there was a need for this .

Visited with my two daughters in law and eleven year old cat loving granddaughter. It was our first experience of Tabby Terrace and absolutely loved it. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and gently stroking the beautiful tabby cats. The cakes were delicious with welcome warm drinks. Overall it was good value so would definitely recommend and will certainly be going back!
