Such a fun activity! You begin by choosing a pottery item and the selection is huge! There is so much to paint varying in sizes, prices, utilities! After that you can pick your paint colours and there is a helpful chart showing you what the colours will look like once your product is glazed. There is also lots of helpful information on painting technique and style. Once you settle in with all of that, you can order drinks and food and it is the most enjoyable way to spend an afternoon or evening. I highly recommend and it's a surprise when you go back a week later to pick up your creation! You pay by the hour and per item. read more

Céramic Café-Studio - a plate of nachos and a bowl of salsa - Cafes Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

My friend and I and had passed this place several times and decided to try it out one weekend as it looked fun. The cafe has two floors. Their menu is basic and food is decent. Service is very friendly! We were more satisfied with the painting part of the experience. We were guided through the process as soon as we were seated. We were told to head upstairs to pick what we wanted to paint, and they have a lot of options of ceramics to pick from! I picked a rabbit and was advised to layer the paint on several coats to get the best effect later. Which means you spend a few hours here so take time out accordingly. It's a nice place to just relax and paint, however it's a little pricey. Also once you are done, they take your painted ceramic for a week to glaze and fire it in the kiln. May not go here again, but for a one time thing, it was a fun experience. read more

I don't come here for the food and drink, but it's pretty good anyway! The ceramic painting is great, especially since it's open until 12 - it makes a really good post-meal hangout if you don't want to go to a bar. Loads of options, lots of paints, inspiration on the walls, lots of tools to do something cool with your own ideas. I've been here 4 or 5 times now! It makes a great gift :) Not as loud or screamy as many ceramic cafes can be - there's the occasional birthday party or loud kid, but generally I go after 8pm. read more

Such a fun place to go! Lots of things to paint and food to eat! All at a decent price!

Service: One of a kind arts and crafts studio here in MTL, for the little ones and for their not so little companions. Come here for hours of creativity and fun, without the cleaning hassle! It's great for a date night, a chill afternoon with girlfriends or a fun day with family. You choose the items that you want to decorate, then paint it, and leave it here for baking. No worries for the not so gifted ones, there are tons of drawing that you can choose to imprint on your items. And while you are here, you can sip on a drink at the same time~ Value: Very reasonable for such a fun activity that leaves you a valuable memory in a week! Ambiance: Spread on 2 floors, big spaces! Every tables is set with enough "weapons" to create the art piece of your dreams. Expect it to be not so quiet when they are kids around as this is a very family-oriented place. read more

Don't. Just don't go! They did not fully coat my mug. Then when i finally got a hold of someone in charge, they told me to bring it back. Then when i did, the dude there was manipulating my close to 40$ item that i worked over 4 hours on like it was nothing. I told him to please becareful and he got insulted. Then he did it again and had a mini panic attack and told him to please hold it w all his fingers not just his thumb and index in the rim. He was so angry he gave me shit. Finally he took it properly and i told him to rrdo a coat. He asked if he can resend it to me and i said yes and smiled. I live 3 hours away. Then i just got it today. The package was so compact that it was a bulge on top. No longer a rectangler box. It was so tight it actually caused more damge... Then i called and told the dude, the package was so compact it actually broke, go on fb. And he asked me why. I lost all hope in this company. The staff rotation is horrible and these kids cant even run a simple operation or find common sense, and I'm 36 and saying this. The government should make these kids get a university degree to work at this company... or hire people in their 40s... read more

Sooo much fun! Would come here again and again. Definitely not cheap. Came with 4 people; we all paints, ate, and three of us outdated drinks. It came to about $160. I think it is definitely worth the experience. It was a ton of fun and I cannot wait to see what my Ceramic painting ends up looking like. I painted a beer mug. Ill post a picture when I get it. All of the ceramics take 10 days to be cooked and ready for pickup. You can pay $5 for a speedy preparation but we are just going to wait. There's a huge variety of what to paint. Plates, jars, planting jars, mugs, cups, salt and pepper shakers, egg holders, decorations and SO much more. I didn't think the ceramics were expensive. I got a pretty large beer mug and it was only $19 or $20. Really not bad. It is $8 per person to paint until the 3 hour mark. Then it is free. I guess that's where it gets expensive but again still totally worth it. I ordered the tuna panini with eggplant (no olives). I thought it was pretty good considering we're not at a reallllll restaurant. I really enjoyed my panini. It comes with a side of Tostito chips and salsa (which I didn't finish) and carrots, celery, and cucumber with ranch dressing. I also ordered a cappuccino. I should add one detail that was not too awesome... There are no English menus! Not too fond of that. So the waitress put in all four orders of food and somehow along the line my dads food was forgotten about!!! So when we reminded them, they gave us two free chocolate chip cookies with his food. Was a very cute effort to make up for a slight mistake. It was a great overall experience. I think this place is awesome for any ages! I came with my older brother and parents for my moms birthday! There were younger couples and families with little kids. It's for everyone! So much fun and definitely recommend it for everyone to try. read more

Céramic Café-Studio - Painting time! - Cafes Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The staff is great, very helpful and friendly. A little on the pricey side, pay attention to the rules, only the basic colors and tools are are included in the hourly rate, that's what turned me off a little. All in All a good time. read more

We celebrated my daughter's birthday there- we went early so there was no wait, but the line kept growing as we were there. The staff was awesome, very quick and always came to see if we needed something. There a huge variety of ceramics to choose from for all price points. This place isn't the cheapest but definitely worth the money for a great day out or to celebrate a birthday. read more

I went here yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. I actually loved it!! The amount of choice of pottery to paint was unbelieveable! I really wasn't expecting that. The staff were helpful, and it was fairly priced. I would love to come back! The only downpoint is I have to wait 8 days to get my pottery back, I wish I could get it sooner! Also, a bonus is if you want more colours, that are not originally provided the staff will bring them to you with no extra charge. Fab. GREAT afternoon activity! read more

On one of our initial visits we took 3 expensive jars that we specified we wanted a classic white colour. The employee said that she was 100% it would turn out to be the right colour. Come time to pick it up it was beige! The manager was kind enough to issue a credit for the pieces and the studio time. Now we come to use our credit and they are saying our file has all sorts of problems one of the weekend employees was very very rude. They told us that we would not pay our time until we finished our credit but now they insist that we must pay for the time and the credit is on the pieces. Its ridiculous! I do not recommend this location at all. Staff is uninformed. Unable to solve problems on their own it took 4 different people. They need to either have weekend managers or be trained properly!! read more

Nice place to spend time with your loved one. The price is a bit costy, but worth it if it's for a special event

We love this place!! Always very fun with beautiful results. Great colour choices for painting your ceramics plus delicious sandwiches and coffee when you get hungry. It can very busy on the weekends but still fun to go to with kids and or friend hang out. read more

I will absolutely do this again; it was a great time with friends. So much fun and it is so satisfying to get your finished product a week later. Painted a large bowl and ordered a coffee with a banana bread. For 3 hours of painting and eating, it was about $75 which is not cheap but it was definitely worth it! I did buy a large item to paint and they do have smaller items for cheaper. I'm not a very creative person in general and this was a great way to try to be more so. read more

We have many places like this in the states and they're much better organized and it's a much easier experience especially when you're bringing small children. In the end everything worked out well but they can probably do a little bit better on the workflow. Certainly would help if we spoke French as the one person on staff only spoke a few words of English. Also it's rare we order a coffee beverage and is so gross we toss it. Cappuccino was undrinkable. read more

My grandmother's a hobbyist painter and we thought it'd be a cute idea to bring the girls out here for her 80th birthday. I called a few days in advance and made a two hour reservation. The pieces are a little pricey ($2-3 above average), but the environment was great, the place was quite quiet for a Saturday afternoon and the drinks we ordered were great. The staff was super helpful and friendly-enough. They helped us figure out colors, tracing, and got us everything we needed. They are primarily french speakers, so English-only tourists beware there are a few language barriers but all in all had a great time and my less than enthused grandmother actually enjoyed herself, which is very rare! Can't wait to go back and pick up our stuff! read more

Friendly and laid back. We came here and painted a mug. Both of us did it and they charged us as if we were just one person. It's $8 an hour plus the cost of the ceramics, but they have a special $12 flat deal for 3 hours of painting. You'll need to be in the city for a while, though, because it takes a week for them to glaze and fire the pieces! read more

What a fun way to spend an afternoon! This place is surprisingly big. There are a lot of choices of ceramics to paint. Not artistically talented? That's ok too, some items are pretty hard to mess up, like the penguin cookie jars and hello kitty plate. All the paint and brushes are furnished. You pay by the hour and after 3 hrs, it becomes a daily rate. You also pay for the item you paint. Just remember that you have to paint the ceramic with three layers (the paint dries fast though), so allot your time accordingly. Also, if you plan on doing very fine detailed work, you may want to bring your own very fine brushes as theirs all flare out at the tip. It's also a cafe so you could eat and drink while painting. Or just go for a cup of coffee with friends and not paint... read more
