    We visited Clay Café Paarl yesterday with our toddler and had the best time. There was such a great selection of items to paint — plenty suited to little hands, as well as a huge variety for parents and creative hearts. Our waitress was wonderful and made sure we were well cared for throughout our visit. The food was great and the coffee was delicious, which is always a big win. What really stood out was how toddler-friendly the space is. When our little one lost interest in painting, there was plenty of other entertainment to keep him busy. There’s also a proper changing table, which made things so much easier. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, with no pressure to rush. There’s an excellent selection of paints, stencils and tools — everything you need to create whatever your heart desires. The turnaround time for firing the items is only two weeks, and we already can’t wait to see how our creations turn out. We’ll definitely be back!

    I ordered Eggs Benedict served on sweet potato with bacon and spinach. Breakfast was served within minutes, it was beautifully presented, it was warm and the flavors were amazing. After a hearty breakfast, I had more than enough energy to paint the most beautiful serving plate in the Klipkelder which was cool and the atmosphere very relaxed. Will surely go again!
