Welcome to Clay Café Illovo, your urban oasis where artistry, culinary delights, and community converge. As part of the beloved Clay Café family, established in 1999, we bring the cherished tradition of ceramic painting to the dynamic suburb of Illovo.

Our journey began on a hilltop dairy farm in Cape Town, evolving into a nationwide franchise that celebrates creativity and connection . At Illovo, we infuse this legacy with a contemporary twist, offering a chic, welcoming space where individuals, families, and friends can gather to create lasting memories.

    We’ve been to a few Clay Cafe’s in Gauteng, even though I prefer the venues of the others, none of them has pleased me in the way Illovo has due to the amazing service Michael provided. I was super impressed. I am also very impressed with how I being updated of the process afterwards. Thank You for good customer service in country where we fall short on this.
