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.

    First we got there 5 min early, couldn't complete our checkin, had to wait. Then they seemed like couldnt find our account but we did prebook on the internet. Then got to our table, we had no waiter, another table was seated and they got service before us. My Wife had to get up and go and ask where is our waiter, so we ordered drinks with her, as we wanted to order our pizza also, she just walked away without us finishing our sentence. So i got up an ordered at the waiter myself. This was our third time at houtbay and the worst. We know your busy, but focus on service delivery please. Fortot to mention, whilst we were waiting on a waiter there was 5 waiters standing at one of the computer koisk and ignoring the table and just chatting to each other. Then on a side note, when one makes an appointment, you can see when its a couple of people with children, do some table planning bec in the main area, one cant even hear the other person speaking.

    We had such a fantastic time at Clay Café for our team-building event! Painting our pieces was creative and fun, and the food was absolutely delicious. The whole afternoon was relaxed, chilled, and filled with laughter—an experience we’ll definitely remember.

    Sadly we got the last slot of the day so felt very rushed. Scoffed the delicious cheescake as if it was a p & j sandwich, was nit enough time to savour each moment. Would suggest they Hout Bay branch close abit later over summer periods.
