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.

    Our overall experience was lovely, however as a first time visitor I was disappointed with the painting experience that we received as we were placed at the bottom and we got limited options for items to choose to paint as well as the craft accessories such as the stencils etc. we only realised this when we left and saw that there is a bigger variety at the entrance which we were not shown or told of. We were restricted to what was shown to us way at the bottom. And none of the staff mentioned to us that there are more options at the top. I feel this is something that should've been communicated to us and it would've made our experience so much better. It was mentioned to more than one staff member that it was our first time and even when we paid and told the lady at the counter that we were disappointed the only things she said was "Oooohhh".

    Our toasted chicken mayo was a little bland, and the coffee/hot chocolates were cold. We also felt a little rushed to finish our pottery, maybe a little longer would have been great. Other than that, it was a good day had by all.

    Clay Cafe hosted our company's Team Building event, from the very first email to the moment we left, everything was handled with such professionalism and care. The Clay Cafe team’s friendliness, attention to detail, and seamless coordination made the day enjoyable and memorable for all of us. Would highly recommend for any event!
