Good customer service. The coffee shop only has inside seating area and it is small. The coffee is good. I want to return to do the clay class.
This little coffee house is located on busy N. 24th street, just down from our office so some of came here to have our little holiday get-together. We took over one of the larger tables; the entire eating area is small but calming and cozy. They have art studios attached and it was interesting to walk back and see the different rooms; most with some sort of pottery (hence the "clay"). They have lots of finished clay products on display and some were so creative! I ordered a cold brew with some cream and it was so good. I love a strong, cold coffee and this was perfect! I also ordered avocado toast which I made modifications to and only wanted some of the crispy onions on top, which I then ended up taking off. Food isn't their priority, although they do offer a limited selection of breakfast burritos, toasts, etc. Everyone was nice and friendly and overall it was a nice morning!
Had my birthday celebration here! I reserved 9 spots for me and my friends for beginners wheel throwing class for $60pp and it was SO FUN!!! SO WORTH IT!!! We had the best instructor Steve. He was so friendly and an amazing teacher. Most of my friends had never taken a class before so it was fun to see them work and be creative! There's a nice little cafe where you can order drinks and there's so many cute things you can purchase in the shop as well. Overall such a fun thing to do with friends and family if you like pottery. Also when I picked up all our ceramic pieces the barista was so nice in assisting me! All the pieces turned out beautiful. I love taking classes at pip definitely a must try if you haven't done wheel throwing yet (:
This place had a nice calming vibe. Everyone was chill even the other guests who attended. There are Cute little trinkets, and fun stickers to purchase. They also serve some healthy treats, cookies, and drinks. I tried a drink called the first date, (love the name). This drink was refreshing and bubbly. A simple mix of cold matcha tea and lemonade splashes. Now, I have to brag about the poetry classes they offer here. We took the class that Henry teaches. Henry did a great job explaining how to create our clay designs today. Thank you Henry, for making the class run so smoothly. Even when I almost messed up my clay, Henry was patient and helpful with all of us. Thanks again Henry
My husband and I received a gift card for a beginner session here. What a fun time! The instructor was really helpful and sweet. The class had about 10 people and we each had our own space to work in. There is a coffee bar when you come in so you can grab a beverage before class starts. Don't wear anything you don't want to get dirty and don't be afraid to fail a time or two. There is plenty of time to throw multiple piece while there. You get to choose your favorite pieces at the end of class. Can't wait to pick them up in about 3 weeks!!
Very charming and eclectic coffee shop. Also, amazing rose pistachio chai! It was perfect. They also teach classes, mainly pottery. Might have to take a class. Who doesn't like pottery? Excellent service.
I had so much fun taking a class at PIP! My instructor did a great job walking us all through the steps of centering, opening, and shaping. She also offered to center for us or talk us through it which I thought was great. I've taken a wheel throwing class before where I kept getting frustrated at my lack of ability to center so her offering to center for us was much appreciated. I liked the workshop feel of the class after the open instruction, we were free to play around with the clay and start over if we messed up. Last, we picked 2 pieces to keep and chose our glaze colors. I can't wait to see how my pieces turn out! I hope to come back for another class in the future.
Such a charming spot! Lovely staff and service. I got their dark macadamia latte and it is by far one of the best lattes I've ever had in the Phoenix area. I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone !!
People were kind. I was able to get a coffee while I took the ceramics class. It was so fun. And the teachers were patient a with the beginners. You get dirty- so come prepared Highly recommend.
One of the most fun activities I've done in Phoenix! The studio is super cute and artsy and smells like amazing coffee. I took the beginners class with the wheel throwing machine or whatever it's called. The process, studio, and tools etc were all super organized. The instructor explained how to do it for about a half an hour, then we got to create pottery from straight up clay on our own! There are 3 glaze colors to choose from: brown, black and white. Wear pants and shoes you don't mind getting wet clay all over when it flings out of the wheel! It came off in the washing machine tho :)
This is my second time visiting @pipcoffeeclay in Phoenix. I brought a group with me and this is their first time experiencing this ultra-friendly and down-to-earth café and clay throwing and sculpting studio, that also serves cocktails, bagels, burritos and more. The food is high-quality with a lot of house made items in the café at the front of the establishment. There are also clay items for purchase, as well as some other fun gifts to shop through. At the back of the building, there is a clay studio with large windows to let the sunlight in and an upstairs area for clay sculpting that also brings in a lot of natural light. We decided to come in and take the Beginners Wheel Throwing class for only $55 each. This includes 10 balls of clay, two creations of your choosing to be fired and glazed, and an instructor taking you through the steps and walking around helping you if you need additional support. All equipment, wheels and tools are included. The class lasts for two hours of clay throwing and the last half hour is cleanup and choosing your glaze. This gives you a total of 2 1/2 hours. I think this is a bargain for the class that they are offering. My crew and I were celebrating our girls' birthday and enjoyed some lattes and bagels before and after our wheel throwing class with Elena, who is an excellent and patient instructor. She said our entire group was extremely chill because nobody was yelling or cussing as our creations got demolished on our wheel - Haha Namaste Clay Ommmm We get to pick up our creations in three weeks after they have been fired and glazed twice. I chose a yellow glaze for my two bowls. My girls, guest and hubs chose black, clear, and yellow. There was also a pink glaze available on this day. I will post how they turned out when we pick them up! You just come into the café and give them your name or go back and pick up your pieces and they're ready. We'd like to try the clay sculpting classes next. The instructor said this is very different from wheel throwing and you do not need to have any experience for this as well.
I drive by this coffee shop almost daily on my way to work. I finally decided to stop and get some coffee. The shop is really cute. It has a few items for sale like aprons, candies, mugs. They also have pastries and a few breakfast options. The young lady was very friendly and cheerful. I ordered the bumblebee latte which I enjoyed. I definitely will be returning to try the rose pistachio latte. If you want some good coffee you should try Pip.

Pip Coffee + Clay is one of the most unique coffee shops I've visited in Phoenix. The space is bright, welcoming, and filled with local art, handmade ceramics, and fun little details that make you want to slow down and look around. Every corner feels thoughtfully designed, from the colorful seating to the vintage decor and handmade pottery available for purchase. I ordered the iced chai, and it was perfectly balanced with great spice flavor without being overly sweet. We also tried the matcha, which was smooth, creamy, and beautifully layered. The drinks were made quickly and looked just as good as they tasted. Beyond the coffee, this is an amazing place to support local artists. They had handcrafted mugs, planters, pottery, ceramics, cross-stitch kits, and other gifts throughout the shop. The atmosphere is quiet enough to work, catch up with friends, or simply relax with a drink. There are plenty of tables, large windows with natural light, and comfortable seating throughout. The staff was friendly, and the entire café was clean and inviting. Parking was easy, and I appreciated how much personality the space has compared to a typical coffee chain. If you're looking for a local coffee shop in Phoenix with excellent coffee, matcha, chai, unique gifts, handmade pottery, and a cozy creative atmosphere, Pip Coffee + Clay is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is super cute and fun. My friend and I decided to sign up for one of their ceramics class and we both enjoyed it. Booking online was easy and fast. The day of the class finally came and we arrived right when it was about to start. It was a full class and there were about 14 or so of us? All the seats and wheels were taken. The instructor was very friendly and helpful. Me and ceramics have never gotten along and for some reason I can't comprehend how I am supposed to make something out of wet clay and this spinning wheel... nonetheless I was struggling. I asked for help and she quickly came over and got me back on track without making me feel dumb. She showed me how to and I was finally able to make a bowl. We picked up our pieces about a month after our class date and I was very happy on how they turned out. The colors that I chose are sooooo pretty! Pickup day, we bought ourselves some coffee and they were really good. Service was great. Parking can be a struggle so we parked at the building in front and walked a little. You get to keep two pieces from your session! Can't wait to book another class soon! read more

I had such a great experience in the beginners wheel class I took. It was much harder than I expected but the instructor was a great support during the class. The class time does give you adequate time to get used to the wheel and to make your pieces. You're also able to bring in your food or drinks you've purchased at the front into the studio. Overall it was such a fun time and I'm planning to come back for some more practice! read more

Great coffee shop with a building behind it for clay making classes. The lavender chai is delicious. I had it made dirty and it was heavenly. The vegan peanut butter cookie is giant and sooooo good. So happy I was told about this gem. Close to my doctors office so tried them out. Great coffee shop! read more
Came here for a beginner wheel class for my friends birthday weekend, the few of us had a great time. The instructors are very nice and made the class fun! We got coffee before the class and the iced latte with vanilla syrup with oat milk was some of the best coffee I've gotten in a while! When the staff heard we were celebrating our friends birthday they offered us a free treat, very thoughtful. Very chill relaxing space in the front, with walls covered in local small business art. read more
10000% recommend this place. We signed up for the pottery class and got there an hour early. Enjoyed some beverages and a couple of board games in the adorable little coffee shop. We also bought a couple of stickers and trinkets. Then we made our way back to the class area which is a big open warehouse type space - had lots of natural light -- loved the vibe! They walk you through the instructions and demonstrate the process. Our instructor was Bennett and he was fantastic! Very informational, funny, engaging and genuine. Had a great date night with my daughter and hope to book more classes with the hubs. Might recreate the scene from Ghost. Who knows?! read more

Went with a few friends to celebrate a birthday and this was the perfect activity! Our instructor was Bennett, he made the class so engaging and fun. He was super patient and willing to help! Best part is you get to keep 2 pieces that you make! And there's a coffee + wine shop right next door where you can grab a quick drink before or after your class. read more

We came by for coffee before heading to the airport. My wife got an Urmami bagel and a Calico latte. She said both were some of the best she's had! If we are back in phoenix in the future we'll be sure to stop by again. read more
A little hard to find cause gps is misleading, and the parking lot is a crammed nightmare, but worth it!! I really want to take a class here but haven't signed up for one yet and just wanted to see the place so I stopped in for a matcha! I got a strawberry rose matcha with almond milk. So many things on the menu looked amazing it was super hard to choose. The matcha with marshmallow and ube whipped cream looked amazing too, I'll have to try that next time. My drink was ready fast! I loved walking around the little shop too and seeing all The ceramic stuff. Saw they have a paint a picture of your pet class coming up soon, I totally want to do one here sometime! read more

Service: the barista was really nice Drink: I ordered the rose pistachio latte and it was amazing!!! Ambiance: cute coffee shop with all their pottery and local items for sale Parking: good amount and covered I want to come back for a pottery class soon! read more
I like this spot! This is a cozy little coffee shop/ceramic studio located on 24th street. There's some parking is available in the private lot next to the shop. You can find some window and table seating indoors, and there's plenty of natural sunlight that comes through the windows. There's also free wifi and bathrooms available if you want to stay and get some work done. There are also a variety of goods for sale (ceramics and non-ceramics) that are available on the shelves and at the checkout counter, which is nice if you like to support local artists. I got a matcha oat latte with honey, and it came out very quickly. I liked my drink! The matcha flavor was strong, smooth, and not too bitter. If I happen to be in the area, I'd love to stop by again and try some of their other drinks (and maybe take a ceramics class!). read more

My friend gifted me a clay molding class for my birthday and I had a blast. The instructor was super pleasant and chill, you can just tell that she enjoys teaching others. I am excited to pick up the pieces that I made in a couple of weeks. I enjoyed an iced matcha while I was there which was pretty good. I'm looking forward to returning to hang out in the coffee area to put my head down and get some work done. The seating arrangements could be a bit cozier. read more

I'm a super happy customer of PIP's cafe side! Very cute cafe with delicious drinks and a celebration of local arts. I first came with a friend during PIP's one year anniversary event and got a Seth Rohan (matcha with coconut water, lime, and pineapple). I fell in love at first sip! I eventually came back to study here and ordered the New Horizons matcha latte (a peach matcha latte that came in the Animal Crossing Lloid mug - so cute!). The ambiance here feels like the cute, bright, artsy cafe vibe; and in between study breaks, you can admire all of the crafts (mugs, jewelry, plates, planters, + more) sold in the store that were created by local artisans. This is definitely a spot to keep on your list. Can't wait to try out some throwing classes and other crafting workshops next! read more
Went to PIP Coffee + Clay for a weekend date recently! It was such a blast. To start, the main coffee area has tons of cute shop items, ceramic projects and trinkets for sale. Seating is relatively limited and did fill up fast, but they have tables and chairs throughout the space. As you progress through the building your led to the clay or pottery wheel room where they have about 20 or so wheels available. My husband and I signed up for the beginners pottery wheel class. They had our names written out to mark our spots and the instructor was absolutely amazing and so helpful. Pottery wheels are no joke! You're able to make as many projects as you want but are only allowed to keep or fire two. From there you pick you paint colors and pick up in about a week or two. The whole experience was awesome. In addition to coffee, you're also able to get light snacks or sandwiches from their menu along with beer or spritzer cocktails you can enjoy during the class! The offer many other classes for all levels, so it's work exploring if you're interested or already have a base to work with. Definitely will visit again! read more
Had the best time taking a class with my mom! It was so fun and we got two of our creations to take home. Atmosphere was great, there was music, and the other people taking the class were upbeat. Got a tea before class but couldn't really drink it with hands full of clay read more
