Cafe Art cafe Pottery store

😠 This place is SO OVERPRICED. $27 for a mug? Should be $6. $10 for a miniature figurine smaller than my pinky?? Who the hell thinks that is okay? It costs 26$ to get a set of six unglazed plates online. This store charges you $40 per plate!!! Don't go here. You would save money by just doing it on yo... People often mention paint, friendly,

Don't waste your money.

    Great concept! Purchase a clay piece; figurine, dishware, ornament (there's a whole wall of stuff to choose from), and the purchase price of the piece includes all the paint you need, plus brushes and friendly instructions. Once you're finished with your art piece, they'll take it to get fired and you'll get it back in 7 -10 days. Again, no additional charge. The shop is cute, if a little cramped at times (which is often, as they are always busy whenever we've gone. Reservations are recommended to secure a table), and decorated very nicely with tons of examples on all the walls. They even have a mini coffee bar, hence the Cafe part. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, reasonably priced for everything that's included, and quite frankly - a hell of a lot of fun way to spend an afternoon!

    Great place to unwind and get back to center with your creative side. Daughter had fun; and she didn’t once ask about going on her iPad to watch YouTube! Donna the owner is so friendly and helpful. Shay was amazing and personable. I really enjoyed myself and can’t wait to see our finished masterpiece’s! Thank you for these cherished memories.

    Super fun experience! You make a reservation and just show up! Everything you need is there! The clay and the coffees. It was a lovely memory to make with my daughter.

    Very fun! Though getting your art back can take a very long time. Not for tourists.

    Great place to bring your close friends to bond over painting. Definitely recommend! Cash, debit/credit accepted. You do have to pick up your clay design after about 2-3 weeks. They will call and call to make an appointment.

    I held a party here for my daughter and the Customer service was very good. The staff can help with paint and object selection, pricing and basic painting techniques. The location is decently sized accommodating up to 40 painters. They provide paints and brushes although we brought some of our own brushes. They have snacks and drinks available for purchase as well as a fridge for cakes. etc. Setting up the party reservation was extremely simple with a form and deposit over email. We will surely return!

    Had the girls birthday party here. I had my doubts at first but all the little ones thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were actively engaged in painting their pottery.

    Love this place! The ladies are great! I spend a lot of money here. I have more that $5 in rewards, they should allow us to stack it instead of using $5 per transaction and on a regular priced item, we should be able.to apply it to anything in the store.

    This place is such an awesome place to come and relax and paint. I have been coming here for awhile now and I have never had a bad experience. I've read some of the other reviews of this place and I cant believe someone actually suggested it would be cheaper to rent a kiln. This place prices I believe are based on the fact that you can come back as many times as you want until you finish painting your piece. And the paint and brushes and the knowledge of the experienced staff to help you if you have any questions. Which I feel is definitely worth every penny. I have probably spent over $1000 at this place and I feel like I'm the one that's getting a deal. They also have reward points that offer in store savings. Also another review mentioned that he would of liked there to be more colors. Hmmm... I think they have over 70 different colors of paint and if they dont have a specific color then you can also mix the paints to make the color you want. They also have drinks that you can order and they are pretty good.
