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.

    We had such a fantastic time. My kids enjoyed painting ( but not as much as me!!). Loved the venue, loved the selection of ceramics, and what a great array of paints and tools! I'd recommend having small bowls to mix small amounts of paint to the consistency you'd like. I wasn't too sure who to ask if I wanted to try out a new technique, perhaps some clarity around that? We didn't have anything to eat and the drinks were "okay". Service was decent. Look forward to returning!

    My husband, daughter and myself thoroughly enjoyed the experience. From the vibe, the food, the friendly staff and the gorgeous surroundings. We love knowing we’ll have our own personalised dishes displayed in our home soon. Such a special touch!

    We all loved experiencing the Cafe the first time and will most definitely be visiting again. Memory was absolutely amazing and so kind! Your staff is amazing and they made sure that we were well tended to. And the toasties, very very yum!

    The food was good. The burger size has decreased a lot. Still waiting for the list of our items to be sent. The service was bad. For a restaurant that was not busy our waiter was never there. We constantly had to look for him. We started asking another waiter who helped us but also stated he will find ours. We needed to go and fetch our waiter numerous times to come and tend to our guests and to bring the orders that were forgotten like kids slushies.
