On a short break to dorset i included a visit to tabby tea rooms. I had a lovely time meeting all the adorable cats. They are so well looked after with silky fur and really content and happy to greet their fans. Friendly lady working there told me all about them and their various antics. I left feeling really uplifted . If you love cats you're going to love this!! The cats are full of character and are sure to make your day. Cant wait to go again next trip. I was even inspired to paint squeak who is as mischievous as he is adorable. He has a twin bubbles!

I was really disappointed with our experience at Tabby Terrace Cat Café. The whole atmosphere was incredibly uncomfortable, it was completely silent and honestly felt more like a morgue than a welcoming café. The cats didn’t seem playful or sociable at all, and one of them actually bit my daughter the first time she tried to stroke it, which was upsetting. The food and drinks were also poor quality for the prices charged. Our coffee arrived cold, and to make matters worse, there was cat hair in both the food and drinks. It felt very unhygienic having the food and drink preparation area in the same space where the cats were freely roaming around. Overall, it was overpriced, uncomfortable, and not a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

Had a wonderful time supping a drink and playing with super friendly and well groomed cats. Very welcoming, comfy space and gorgeous interactions - thanks you to Tara or host and to the cuddly cats, Sushi, Beenz, Bubble and Squeak :-) The entrance fe is well worth it for this very sweet experience... although I would prefer all cats, big and small to be living their natural lives out in the wilds, but sadly us humans have been upsetting that natural order thousands of years ago... This is a chance to feel love and care for our Creators amazing gifts from nature THANK YOU

After walking past the Tabby Terrace on holiday, I knew we had to make a booking and a visit whilst in Dorchester. Booking was incredible easy and I loved the very relaxed cafe vibe upon arrival. You could immediately tell the cats were loved and happy. They climb onto the tables and nuzzle you but aren't overbearing or trying to steal your food! The cats had a great relationship with their owners and just were very happy. We all enjoyed a Cattochino and bacon/sausage sannies. We would visit again if we are ever back in Dorchester.
