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 :)
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.
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.
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!
My review is solely on their pottery class. As someone with no knowledge of how to do pottery, the instructors certainly taught me well. By the end of the class I had two pretty cute creations (one of them became my little guac bowl). This place is fun for any sort of occasion. I know the cafe is probably just as good. Just be sure to wear clothing you are okay with getting dirty because as you'll see in my photos...things got very messy quickly. read more
Decided to do a beginner wheel throwing class with my girls for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Our instructor Bennett was super helpful and so nice! Our pieces turned out really cute and the drinks were great! Highly recommend doing this with your friends it was such a fun experience :) read more
My friend and I came for the Build your pet workshop. It was a 3 hour class and I definitely felt like it flew by. I didn't think it would take me 3 hours to mold clay but I realized how much of a beginner I was real quick! Zane was our instructor and he was great. The vibe of the class is really chill and relaxed. You are able to grab food and drinks downstairs as you please. I made a dog bowl and was able to paint it afterwards. Excited to pick up my project in a week or so! Would definitely come and try the other classes! read more

Really fun time. A very accommodating and helpful instructor. Fun to grab a beer or cocktail before class. We started with recycling clay that was fine to start with but very thankful they brought out good clay to complete our pieces with. read more

I signed up for a class to make a trio of mini pumpkins. The instructor was very nice and helpful. During the session, I made my three pumpkins and painted them. I left them to dry and then be fired/glazed. The only downside was I received an email saying my pumpkin was ready to be picked up and it wasn't. So I had to make another trip back to pick up my finished pieces. They turned out nice and I'd do another class. The coffee shop is nice - open and airy with plenty of seating and gifts to purchase. I ordered a spicy/cayenne pumpkin pie latte (see a theme?) and enjoyed it. I would definitely come back if in the area for another latte. Overall, a fun place with a chill atmosphere. read more
firstly- I love that they are open late. It's sometimes hard to find good coffee past 2pm, so this is convenient! secondly- there's parking out front; anytime I don't have to street park going to a new place is a good day! I ordered just the mocha and it was great. Good coffee- not too bitter. They also have food items, pastries, and breakfast type foods. The inside is eclectic, and attached to the pottery studio. There is some merchandise for sale towards the back of the shop as well. Neat concept, and I'll be back! read more

PIP is a great new addition to the neighborhood. While it's a small coffee shop, it packs a punch! The interior is colorful and bright, the music is fun and obviously the coffee is delicious! I tried the almond croissant and it was perfectly flavored and very flaky. PIP has some items for sale from local vendors, like jewelry, soaps and beautiful pottery. Attached to the coffee shop is a pottery studio. It wasn't open but I peeked in the window and it seems like they've got everything you need! read more

The drinks are incredible, the pastries are even better, and the beginner pottery wheel class left my mom and I with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. The parking is bad, but the street parking nearby is perfectly acceptable. The staff is incredibly friendly and seem to know their regulars. I wish they would put some salt on their pretzels and bring back their Ube matcha latte! The first time I had the matcha Ube latte, I told everyone I knew that it was the most delicious drink I had ever had at any coffee shop. The drinks are all served in adorable hand made mugs, which adds to the charm. The baristas seem to default to cold drinks to go, so be sure to specify if you want a hot drink in a cute mug! I love this spot and will be back many times in the future. read more

The staff here were so sweet. I had a great time in the wheel throwing 1 beginners class. They really told you step by step what to do. One demo first and then they walk you through it as you try yourself. Time flew by!! I ended up making a few pieces and had to toss one to keep two. Loved it! Would come back. read more

Pip Coffee + Clay is truly underrated. The concept is so fun A coffee shop where you can also throw? Say no more. I've been eyeing throwing as a hobby for a while and when I got the opportunity to go to a class I was thrilled It is a cute space that looks deceivingly small from the street when you pass by it. It's actually quiet big It's a sweet spot to buy local pottery, grab a drink - your choice of coffee wine or beer, and throw some clay! I've attended the beginners class twice. A good class to take if you're a first timer like me :) It's somehow frustrating, peaceful and a joy at the same time. You also get to keep two pieces you threw yourself and the staff glazes them for you. If you're looking for a fun date night or even just to take yourself then do it! You won't regret it *Tip, if you decide to take a class know it might get messy. Wear an old shirt and pants you don't mind getting dirty read more

My friend group decided to do a beginner class since some were not familiar with how to work with clay. We had a blast during the class and our instructor was so kind! She was patient and uplifting. The plate had a great vibe and great people. The reason I gave only three stars was all 3 of us didn't get our pieces that we had worked on during the class. We were each given a sticker that stated "drinks on us something happened". I personally was given something that was no were similar to the items made. My friend only received 1 item in her bag home. ( we were bummed) Pictured are the items I made (grey bowl and light grey plate) Also pictured items received from pip ( green ) read more
A friend and I did a beginners wheel throwing class and I cannot recommend it enough!! We had such an amazing time and Bennett was such a fantastic instructor! So helpful and delightful. I was so stoked with the way our pieces came out. It's such a cute place and a fun idea! The chai latte was great as well! I'll definitely be back for more coffee and classes. read more
Great place! I took a beginners wheel class, and it was lots of fun! The instructor was helpful. I need lots of practice! The store is adorable, and after class I got an iced matcha latte with oat milk! Delicious! Such a wonderful place!! They will glaze my planters and they should be ready in 3 weeks! I can't wait for another class! read more

PIP is a really cute place to have coffee and hang out. The drinks are good and the staff are super nice. I signed up for the beginner ceramic class, I've never taken ceramics before or made anything before so I was excited to try something new! Our instructor was great! She went over everything very thoroughly and helped a lot of us in the class when we were struggling to center on the wheel. She helped me so I was able to make two pieces before class was over. I was so excited to see what my pieces would look like after they were glazed and fired. So I was pretty disappointed when I saw the finished product. The bottom portion of my pieces weren't glazed and are pretty rough feeling and kind of sharp. My friend made this bowl and it barely even has color on it. I'm not sure if there was a reason they were done this way but it would be nice to know before hand what to expect our pieces to look like in the end. I don't know a lot of pottery places in Phoenix and PIP is cool place, I'm just not sure if I would sign up for another class. read more
Really cool spot to get coffee in east Phoenix. They offer several good options for coffee and pastries. Inside is a chill vibe and people often come in with their laptops to work on things or even just come for a date. There was no music playing which was a good thing because I typically like to listen to my own stuff. I want to come back and sign up for their clay making classes. read more

Such a cute spot. I haven't been here in awhile and decided to stop by this lovely morning. I got the cherry blossom latte and it's really good. Pip is such a unique colorful shop, cute crafts and gifts to purchase along with clay classes which I have yet to take. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area! read more

My friend and I had the pleasure of taking a beginners pottery class here. It was both her and I's first time ever playing with clay. We had a great time. The instructor was very helpful. Whenever we made a mistake he was patient with us and ready to help. We got to make two works of art that we can pick up in 3 weeks. As for the coffee shop, we loved it as well! I got the Bumblebee Latte which had hints of lavender- it was delicious! Although the coffee shop is small and parking spots are limited, I do see myself coming back with more friends to hangout and enjoy their selection of drinks. read more

Such a fun and cool place! I asked for a pottery class for Christmas, and my fiancé and I had the best time at PIP! Danny was our instructor and he did a phenomenal job with the time allocated for the cl (2.5 hours). Danny's demo was very informative and helpful, and he was more than happy to answer questions throughout to class or assist when you got stuck. I had such a great time! read more

While driving through the neighborhood yesterday, I spotted this new coffee shop. Since I've made it a priority to try different coffee shops, I figured I add PIP Coffee+ Clay to the list. Since it was so close to my house, I figured why not go today? I was surprised by what this establishment had to offer. Not only was it a coffee shop but it was connected to a studio where they offered classes for what I believe might be clay making/ceramics. In the coffee shop, there was artwork and other goods to view and purchase. Additionally, the coffee shop had great vibes to it, from the artwork to the music playing to the kind baristas that helped me determine what drink to get. Upon my conversation with the barista, they had only been open for a week. With how mellow it is, I think this could potentially be a place I can imagine working remotely from. Safe to say, I will be back to check this place out! read more

Love this coffee house, very cute and fun. They have coffee, teas and such but they also do pottery classes. I went in for the pottery class, it was so much fun and I even bought my own pottery wheel after. Sadly, they are so amazing that they don't have many open reservations but if you can find one, DO IT! perfect for a friend date or an actual date. read more
