Ceramic Painting Fun at Color Café.
Bring the kids, or a couple of friends & spend a happy few hours with us.
You don’t have to be an artist to create something special & unique.

Begin by choosing a piece of raw ceramic to paint. We supply the paint, stencils and anything else you may need to create your masterpiece. A qualified staff member is always on hand to guide you through the creative process.

Party Types
We welcome anyone who wants to get creative in the store. Our specialities include:
- Children's parties
- Team Building
- Bridal showers & gift creation

Our Location
We are situated in the lower level of the Hyde Square Shopping Centre on the corner of North and Jan Smuts Avenue in Johannesburg.
Kindly Note - bookings are essential so that we can set up your table, and ensure there is space for all the creating! Please WhatsApp us to book.
Had a wonderful experience. This place is so calming and peaceful. The environment is wonderful and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go here again.

Clean, friendly staff. But they don’t explain everything in details. I was expecting to take my piece with after painting but I was told they are keeping it for 6weeks after painting .Otherwise It is a nice place to bond with friends/family. I recommend the place

Pros:
Color Cafe has a nice atmosphere, reasonable prices (you only pay for the ceramic item you choose so prices vary according to that and that amount covers your time there which is 2hrs if it's busy but if it's not a busy day you're allowed to stay as long as you want till they close)
We had a great experience painting, they sell beverages but i think it would be nice to also offer cookies or snacks to nibble on while painting.
The staff is very friendly and helpful
Cons:
They say due to loadshedding and stuff they're behind on getting the complete ceramic item back to customers so the waiting period to get your item is about 3 months at the moment.
They also don't have a system that sends customers a text or message to say that their item is ready for collection, you have to keep an eye out on their Instagram page to see when items from the month you came in have been announced ready for collection.
You also need to have taken pictures of your item as proof of which one is yours because they don't keep track of that except for the item price and generic description on the payment slip. It's your responsibility to have picture proof.

Definitely a must try at least once in a while. We went with a birthday group and it ranged from artists to accountants (and other not so artsy people) and everyone enjoyed themselves. The process is simple and if you go in the weekdays it's really quiet. They also serve coffee and snacks to have while you paint. The wait is a bit long but it's definitely worth it. I'm absolutely going back!

A great place for a relaxing afternoon.
It’s quite fun to go in a group and paint your clay items together.
There’s a nice variety paints and stencils to help those of us who need it.
There’s also some great snacks available and the staff members are really helpful and pleasant.
It should be noted that there is currently a waiting period of 6-8 weeks for your item to undergo the baking/varnishing process.
Update: Have successfully collected my items and am happy with the results.

Love the venue and the atmosphere. There's a massive variety of paints, brushes and stencils. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good cappuccino too 🙂
Painting takes longer than you think so make sure you give yourself at least 3 hours. The great part is if you don't finish before they close you can take your item home and return another day to complete it without any additional cost.
Only complaint is that we were asked to move tables 3 times as people kept coming and leaving, and were seated with other families. Would have really preferred our own table and less disturbances.
