Do you have a recommended minimum age for any of the activities?
For the ceramic painting, there is no minimum age. Parental supervision is required for children.
Do we need to pre-order the items we want to work on?
Yes, we do recommend pre-ordering items especially for a large group or a birthday party. Making your selection and ordering 2-3 weeks before the party date helps us to ensure we have the items you prefer from our suppliers. We recommend choosing your 3 favourite items so that your guests can select the one they like most. We are more than happy to assist with popular age appropriate ideas.
How does your pricing work?
All ceramic items are priced all inclusive of :
- The raw bisque
- Your time with us - please note on the weekends we may need to limit your visit to a max of 2 & 1/2 hours which is more than enough time to complete a ceramic masterpiece
- Paint (over 60 colours)
- Use of materials - stencils, stickers, sponges, scratching tools
- Firing and glazing – done on the premises
The average price range is between R210 to R250 per piece. This category includes all the different styles of mugs, cups and saucers, side plates up to dinner plates, all 3 sizes of flower pots, medium bowls and platters, sugar pots and milk jugs.
Smaller items such as little dishes, spoon rests, small bowls, tea bag holders, and egg cups would range between R100 and R170.
Children’s items, the likes of unicorns, teddy bears, money boxes, tortoises, elephants, bunnies, cats, dogs and trinket boxes all priced between R210 and R250.

Does the café serve food?
No, we serve a range of cold drinks (eg appletiser, juice, coke and the BOS ice tea range) plus hot drinks (milo, cappuccino, tea and hot chocolate). Drink prices range from R18 to R25.
We do also sell basic snacks, chips and sweets but you are more than welcome to bring in your own treats or something to eat.
For parties or large groups, you can also organise your own catering, we will set up a table for you (advance booking required).

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.
