Stumbled across this cat cafe by accident on my birthday (as a big cat lover - hence the jumper!) and so glad we did! 4 beautiful rescue cats that were interactive with us - I recommend putting a box on your lap or near you as they loved that! Delicious panini's and coffee as well. Very reasonably priced as well and we lucked out with the cafe being quiet when we went so could have the cats full attention! Thoroughly recommend a visit here

staff are very friendly and cats look very happy. clearly well taken care of, lots of treats, sleep, and play. they can be a bit shy at times but they're so cute as they bounce around. the food is nice, staff are supportive and accomodative, and prices are fair. very nice atmosphere and comfortable seating. i love the sheet with the photos of the cats where they introduce them all and their backgrounds, and the drawings all over the walls were really nice. hopefully will come back another day

Had a great time with my friend visiting Tabby Terrace for the first time! We went in for breakfast and to meet the most adorable kittens/cats. The owner was lovely, seated me at a table while I waited for a friend, and gave me a waiver to sign, which i was absolutely fine with, and she was more than happy for us to switch tables to a table my friend preferred. The menu is small but well executed. You cant go wrong with a bacon butty! Polite service and great time meeting your 4 gorgeous kittens. Thank you!

The café is very cute, staff are nice and the cats are adorable! I understand some people's complaints around them only having 4 cats, as they can tend to concentrate around the same places, and if you're not lucky enough to be around the area they choose, you won't get to interact much. However, I'm sure they have a good reason to not have introduced more cats yet, whether it's for financial reasons or waiting for the right rescues. You can tell their cats are very well taken care of and any others to come will be lucky

Delightful experience. Beautiful peaceful cafe lovely empathetic friendly staff. Even with my autistic sister being quite noisy the cats still came over and checked out her wheelchair. Staff and cats were amazing with my four year old who absolutely loved her experience feeding them treats. Cats were super friendly extremely happy and well looked after. Prices for food and drink very reasonable too.

I've been here since day one! I love it; especially the cats! The staff have always been helpful, kind and super accommodating. It's lovely to see their all are genuine animal lovers and I've enjoyed watching the cats grow. Mr.Beans is my favourite but very difficult to photograph. The cats seem very happy and all have their own wonderful personalities. The food is lovely and the coffee is nice. Thank you Tabby Terrace!

Had a great visit to the Tabby Terrace today. The cats were friendly and my daughter loved fussing over them. There were a few other children there if a similar age which she made friends with and together they enjoyed playing the games provided and creating a cat drawing for the walk. Would definitely recommend. Staff also very friendly!
