    This is a great place to have fun, enjoy delicious food and fire up (excuse the pun) your creative self. The idea of painting/decorating a piece of pottery whilst enjoying a social time with friends and family is brilliant. The spinach quiche and carrot cake that we enjoyed were both delicious. Service was friendly and the vibe is upbeat. We eagerly await our "creations".

    Lovely place for a family or friends outing with children. If you can avoid public holiday and weekend, it get always very busy and chaotic!!

    It will be so nice as they have lots of space to separate restaurant and clay painting into different areas. You now ended up eating food on table full of paint, brushes, stickers and dirty water to clean brushes.

    It is a lovely place with nice play area but it could be so so much better.

    Young girls at the front desk need to be more trained how to use system to sign in and operate correctly. Secondly they are not the most friendly people at all and this is the first impression that you get when you walk in!

    Food is not great all. Do not expect anything more than burn toasted sandwich. Cold oily fries, salad with pure green leaves with 3x slice of avocado and 4x tomatoes. My coffee had a terrible sour taste as milk was off ( but was replaced) and very shame of their super dry scones!!

    The venue is amazing, but the service and lack of guidance was a big problem! No one told us how it worked, just assumed we knew, and when we asked, very short answers were given.
    Our plates stood on our over full table long after we were finished, and we packed tea pots etc on the table next to us...
    The play area was very nice, and the seated area was very nice and clean.
    A nice touch would be aprons for the young ones, though its water-based paint.

    Really well set out spacious studio environment. Food was excellent and staff were really helpful and friendly. Organized system for collecting your painted ceramic. Would definitely go again.

    Amazing gem in hout Bay, organized a mums and daughters morning and we all loved the experience. You don't have to be Creative or artistic to enjoy the company and the therapeutic element of painting. Great place for kids and even birthday parties. Definitely a good place to take a date too. Food was delicious and just loved the environment.

    A great place to to spent a couple hours exploring and letting out your creative side. The selection of clay goods to work with is wide enough for everyone to find something to work with.

    The organisation to the art supplies that you eventually work with could do with some improvement. There a classroom art vibe, 1st come 1st serve, with little control on their side, which is both charming and a little meh.

    Good and location are great, definitely a place to visit repeatedly either on dates, with friends or family.

    Great place for food and an activity. The food is great. The atmospheres perfect for everyone young and old. You get to create your own masterpieces. This place also has a awesome play area for kids.

    Great potential. Great coffee and great food. Lovely atmosphere and the clay painting is a nice touch but the service is pathetic. A shame really because it's q lovely spot. Really need to get their staff organised/trained.

    For the price of a movie ticket you can have hours of creative fun! Loads of objects to choose from. From cups and plates to kitties and skulls - something for young and old! The food is well priced and staff curious.

    Changed rating from 5 to 3. Was not too impressed how 'missing' items are dealt with.

    Good food, nice vibe. The staff need to learn some manners though. Got sent away, when I could see open (un-reserved) tables.

    Thank you Clay Cafe for the Complimentary Gift Voucher. Enjoyed my time with you this afternoon. A great place to spend creative time. Lovely vibe with good food and drinks by Truth Coffee. I'll be back! Jackie Glass

    Had a lovely time here! The food was good, and the atmosphere pleasant. The service, on the other hand, was below average. We hadn't been before and were told to sit at our table and someone would come explain everything to us. 20 minutes later, no one had come so I asked a waitress and she told us that we had to go get all our stuff and then someone would come explain things to us. Would have been nice to have been told this from the get go.

    Unique experience; clay painting- ideal for entire family. Have a meal, tea/ Truth coffee, dessert while you're painting.
    Large play area for kids outside.
    Prior day table bookings essential during busy periods (weekends, school holidays)
