Reviews in Dorchester

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!

This is a business with great potential that needs more time to establish itself. Polite and friendly staff. However, they offer a limited menu and it's quite expensive for what you get. Interior design feels like it is still 'under construction', only 3 cats available to interact with when we went, and no cutlery or napkins until I asked for them. Food took a while to arrive and dishes didn't appear at the same time. Pesto pasta was unpleasant. My kids loved the cats and being able to play with them and stroke them but no available colouring activities for younger children which are usually offered.

I visited with my daghter and grandson. We love cats and the young ones at Tabby Terrace are charming. They are friendly, playful and adventurous. The bacon butties are pretty good too. the only drawback for me is the spiral staircase up to the only toilet. I can negotiate it with care, but you might want to bear this in mind, if you have mobility problems.
