    I recently visited Clay Cafe with my fiancé and daughter, and we had such a lovely time together. We enjoyed choosing and painting our own sculptures, which made the experience both creative and memorable for our family. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to relax while getting creative. The food was absolutely delicious and added to the overall experience. While the service could have been a bit better, it didn’t take away from the wonderful time we had. Friendly staff and very inviting. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable outing, and we’d definitely recommend it for families or anyone looking for something a little different to do.
