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.

    WOWZA!!!! I had the best 40th birthday ever. And it would not have been so great without Jenna (event coordinator), and the staff that took care of us on the day. Sean (our waiter) was so great, the kitchen freaking outdone themselves. And the CAKES! Wow, I am so happy I didn’t bring in a cake of my own. I want to express my gratitude. Jenna made this whole process easy and stress free and I am grateful to the Hout Bay Branch for being incredibly accommodating. Then the Manager (Gaffin), Sean, and the team that helped him, ensured the day went smooooth. Everything I asked for was ready to go and Sean was on it. This is such a valuable service to customers, especially today when the ball gets dropped all too often. I am so impressed with the service. The table setup blew my mind, very cute thank you, the help offered to people who hadn’t been there before was so kind and considerate, every single person was happy. My day was perfect. Best venue to have an adult birthday party.

    We had a great time. The 2hour time slot wasn't enough for us to eat and paint comfortably and at the end we were all rushing to finish.
