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.

    The meal was fine. My biggest complaint is that the ceramics are twice the price that they are at prison break. Not everyone in Illovo is rich!!!
