The Clay Cafe makes for a memorable visit of creativity and recreation for all ages. Nestled in the heart of hout bay, The Clay Cafe prides itself in creating an enjoyable experience for adults and children alike.

Choose from a vast array of unfired bisque (already made pottery pieces); and a wide selection of colourful paints and tools to create crockery that is both personal and completely unique, not to mention functional (all items once fired are dishwasher proof, microwave proof and oven proof). Spend a leisurely few hours painting in a relaxed environment with our friendly staff at hand to assist you while enjoying one of our many farm style breakfasts or lunches.

The Clay Cafe was founded in 1999 has recently moved to a brand new home as of December 21st 2016. This 2.5 acre piece of land is situated in the heart of the valley of Hout Bay. With a large open patio every table is close to the luscious garden and every child is ecstatic with our innovative playground. We have beautiful peaceful outside tables, as well as a veggie garden and our own African chic’ boutique. A day at the Clay Cafe makes an ideal day out for a ‘one of a kind’ creative experience. We offer children’s birthday parties, school outings, hen parties or team buildings and of course catering for the individual. All bookings 10 people or less can easily be booked online, hassle free.

Each person is given the chance to indulge in their own personal ceramic masterpiece while they sit back, relax and let us do the rest. We make all our food fresh from scratch everyday, so food is served when ready and is always a hit! We also pick fresh produce from our veggie garden to add into our salads and wraps.

Booking is essential, to avoid disappointment please book in advance. Bookings close the night beforehand and we allocate space for walk ins on the day; first come first serve. Please head to the tab ‘make a table booking’. For bookings larger than 10 people; including children’s parties, kitchen teas and corporate team building please kindly email info@claycafe.co.za. We are a ceramic painting venue with a full licensed kitchen; we don’t allow any outside catering besides a birthday cake. Please email info@claycafe.co.za for more information.

    Yes, we very much enjoyed the ambience, the food, the service, so everything was just fine. We wished to spend more time there but unfortunately it was our fault because er came late.

    I had issues with the booking service. The ladies on the phone were quite rude and rushed in their responses to which I sent emails to the team. We were visiting from dubai and I had a party of 12, I wanted platters however it was a no as 1 week notice is to be given! I couldn’t understand as all ingredients were part of some other dishes on the menu but everything was a complete no, There was nobody to help with the details of painting. You surely need more well equipped staff. We ordered our food and I found a piece of plastic in my veggie Pattie which was actually a dish off the kids menu but luckily I ate it! I can’t imagine if my child swallowed it. The only thing they did for us was deduct this off the menu!!! I didn’t want to create a scene but in other places we would have had desert or meals for free. It’s a great venue and the taste of food good but apart from that I’m sorry but I was so disappointed.

    My first time....so lovely and peaceful. And the food was absolutely delicious. Welcoming service from the front desk to our waiter. We sat in the potting shed area which I would recommend if you want a more adult setting. Also there were heaters the morning. So comfortable. Will definitely be back. Thank you
