What a fun thing to do visiting town. Beautiful shop and really friendly staff. Elle was fantastic in helping me use all the tools and colors correctly and I’m obsessed with my new family tray. Can’t wait to see it fired. No way it would have turned out this cute without Elle’s guidance!

Unusual yet friendly vibe that can scratch the itch of people wanting coffee in a creative atmosphere. Perhaps paint some pottery too. Inside and outside seating. Street parking is challenging. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. ✌

Found this place and decided to do a fun birthday experience with my sister. They have a wide selection of clay statues to paint. The staff were helpful and Informative. Im excited to see my project finished. The website says projects start at $18, but I couldn’t find anything under $20, which is fine. I was expecting those lower price starting range.

Such a fun experience can’t wait to pick up our pieces after they are clear coated and fired.

In just the last 6 months, I have been here 4 times. It’s an amazing experience, the staff are absolutely wonderful and the food and drinks are delicious! The variety of ceramics to choose from is impressive, I feel like I could go 100 times and always see new pieces. The glaze options are outstanding! Different colors, shades, textures, etc.
When you get there you first walk into the Cafe, then through a doorway/arch you will find the pottery studio. It’s an easy check in at the desk, grab your pieces, and once you’ve sat down a staff member meets you at your table to give you a run down on the glazing/firing process, and is available to answer any questions you may have. The tables are all set with basic colors, many paint brushes, water dishes, paint dishes, ans sponges, so unless you need specific glazes, you can get comfy at the table and not have to wander around.
You also have the option of taking your project home if you do not finish it (they will give you safe packaging for transport), and then bring it back on another day to finish glazing with no extra studio fee’s! Once you’ve finished, you leave your project behind, and they finish it off with a top coat and firing! It’ll be ready for pick up the following week.
This place is honestly a hidden gem. It can be a little “spendy” depending on what ceramic piece you choose, but if you think about the experience, the supplies that go into it, and the work the staff puts in, it’s truly worth it.
I hope this place stays open forever, because it will always be one of my favorite getaways!

Lots of fun pieces to choose from, coffee and snacks are always good, and the staff is very helpful.
I had a small issue last time I was there, and the owner called me within an hour of me leaving to resolve it. I really enjoy spending time here, and knowing they are committed to providing excellent customer service means I’ll be coming back here instead of driving somewhere else for my pottery painting fixes.
If you’re needing somewhere to hang out and be creative, don’t hesitate to give this place a try!
