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.

    Service was shocking and very slow. We were also told to fetch our own chairs after they moved us. We were only 2 people. They didn't clear our table and we had to ask for serviettes,

    My overall experience of this establishment was absolutely amazing. The staff were super nice and accommodating. Food was ordered from the halaal menu and it was flavourful, filling and fresh. The place was clean despite being busy. Would absolutely recommend visiting.

    There was a bit of confusion from some food orders made, yet the quality of it was excellent! Our waiter did offer a free slice of cake to make up for the confusion, which we thought was so sweet. I always highly recommend Clay Cafe in Hout Bay specifically for the great ambience and mix of halal and non halal menu to cater for all guests. Amazing, keep up the fantastic work!

    Overall a great experience it was our 3rd time in 3 months 😊, thank you The Clay Cafe Hout Bay. i do however have a suggestion though, if a prayer room/ space could be made available for muslims, since there's so many of us frequenting the establishment.
