I love Color Me Mine, and this location is one of my favorites to go to! It does get really busy,…read moreso a reservation (or at least calling ahead to see if they can hold seats on the day of) is pretty much a must. The Brea location has more seating than other locations I've been to, which makes it a bit more forgiving if you try to do a walk-in. Reservations are made online and cost $5/person, which goes towards your total. From a large palette, you choose five colors. Sometimes if a friend and I want to use the same color, we'll just put it on one person's plate, which ends up giving us more color options overall! There's also a guide on each table with tips for different ceramic painting techniques. There's a cup of various styles and sizes of paintbrushes, and you can also request for a thin bottle for writing or detail-work. You get two hours to paint, but I've never felt rushed with either picking my piece or during the actual painting process. The staff here are always so attentive, courteous, and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. I've noticed that when it gets super busy and you need a paint refill and someone hasn't come by, don't be afraid to raise your hand or walk over to someone, everyone is super friendly. They have a great selection of pottery, and you just pay the price of your piece plus the flat studio fee. The space is clean, and I love that they also offer outdoor seating. Since it's right in the middle of downtown Brea, it's fun to people watch and enjoy the vibe outside on a warm day. They'll occasionally have special events or deals too, like student nights with a discounted studio fee. With its central location in downtown Brea, it's such a perfect spot to catch up with friends, celebrate a birthday, or have a cute date!

I never had that experience at my local color me mine, but I get it. There's a variety of items to choose from. My party had a difficult time choosing lol. We had a great time though and our items were ready on the date they gave us. We came later in the day, and weren't rushed to finish painting which was nice. I'm not the best at painting but I had a great time putting together a plate for my niece

Bestie and boyfriend approved. 10/10.

Definitely a new hobby unlocked. The owners are super sweet and friendly, and you can tell they take the effort to make the painting experience so much better. All of the staff are super fun and interactive! They always ask if we need anything and how we are doing. They also love to see what art you can create and overall make it a better experience. I highly recommend coming here instead of a chain because they have great selection of ceramics, paint, and music! It's such a vibe. Go grab a matcha next door at Vivot Cafe and paint your life away! I swear I was painting for 4 hours and they didn't mind as long as I finished my piece. I was very grateful to have the time to complete my birthday plate. The studio fee is $11 along with any ceramic you choose (price varies) and they also have a stamp card! On your 7th visit, you get the studio fee waved. It's great to know they appreciate those who come back! And I know I will definitely be coming back soon! Also, they do take reservations so that is very helpful as well. Overall 10/10 experience.

Highly recommend!! I hosted a tea party for my 30th birthday at this venue and it went seamlessly…read more The tea sets on the table and the table cloths were all rented from the venue and they even set the tables before my booking time started. I was able to add my own decor and it comfortably fit my party of 36 ppl. They have all of the amenities we needed including a fridge, microwave, hot water, bathroom and large sink. The space is super cute, clean, and has convenient parking. The best part of the experience though was the helpfulness of the staff throughout the entire event. Sam was awesome and ready to jump in whenever we needed him but never overbearing. 10/10 recommend hosting at this venue

An overdue review based on the pottery wheel class and glazing option experience. For reservations,…read moreI made it for two people through their website. This was for a public class on a Saturday at around 4:30 PM. The class consisted of 8 people max and seemed to be all couples. All of the equipment was prepared like an apron, clay, pottery wheel, etc. We had an instructor that was very knowledgeable and explained everything from start to finish. Complex technicals were explained in layman's terms. We were given enough clay to create 3 pieces but could keep up to two. The instructor also frequently went around to check everyone's pieces and was able to troubleshoot as needed. It was a fun experience but be very prepared to get your hands dirty! The glazing portion was separate from the class. There was no reservation needed for that so I did it the same day that I went to see the ceramics. For parking, street parking could be hit or miss depending on the time. I'd recommend coming early to have ample time to find parking. Overall, I enjoyed the experience enough. It could have been perfect if the staff here remembered to follow up on when the ceramics were ready for pickup. I am happy with the end result though.

The day after we were told our potteries were lost, we received notification that it was found…read more Just to clarify, we provided both my name and my bf's name when we went to look for our projects. They couldn't find it under either. Jennifer, the owner messaged me on the side and offered studio credit for when we come back to glaze. I appreciate that offer since my bf and I had to and have to coordinate this date to come to the studio. I live around half an hour away and he lives over an hour away, which made it that much more disappointing when we drove all the ways last time only to be told it was lost. I messaged and asked to see if it was possible to have our pottery ready this time for when we came to glaze to prevent further mishap. They were kind and had our pottery ready for when we head back. I was happy with how our pottery turned out. It was with the red clay so it looked tan. Ashley helped us with the glazing. She gave us tips and instructions. They have a ton of different colors. They have a color section that's easier to work well and good with designs. There's also another set of colors that have some details and undertones. I picked four colors and hoped for the best. It's interesting because the more special glaze are all shades of gray, even when you paint it on. It's really is trusting the process. They put our pottery on the rack and told us it would be ready for pick up in 2-3 weeks. I'm hoping the pick up this time goes better! This glazing experience went well and I appreciate, Jennifer, the owner, reaching out personally and offering the studio credit.

We came during the week around midday, so parking was easy to find, but if you're coming on a weekend or in the evening, I'd recommend arriving early since parking is limited. Our instructor, Sage, was incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding us through the entire pottery-making process and making it feel approachable even for beginners. We made two pieces total--one hand-built and one thrown on the wheel--which was really fun and exciting to try. The whole experience was creative, relaxing, and unique. I would definitely recommend this class and will be suggesting it to friends and family!

It's clear the employees here are very passionate about pottery however that's about it. Customer…read moreservice is really bad here. We took the one-time pottery class and it's nearly impossible to get ahold of them. After your class you're supposed to get an email a few weeks later to schedule glazing. I never got the email, had to reach out twice to get any contact. Then after glazing you're supposed to get another email to pick up your pieces. Guess what, I never got it and had to reach out again. Overall it took us over 3 months from the first class to get our pieces. It's a great concept and fun but would not recommend this business to anyone.

It was my first time trying pottery and my wife's second, and it turned out to be a great experience. The class started right on time. I walked in with no idea of what to make, but by the end I completed one piece on the wheel and another using hand-building. The instructor was extremely friendly, patient, and helpful, which made the experience enjoyable even for a complete beginner. They'll email us later to choose colors for glazing, which is a nice touch. Street parking is paid, but if you don't mind a short walk, there's free parking nearby. The surrounding neighborhood is lively and vibrant, making it perfect to stroll around before or after the class.

This is NOT for in-store experience. I mainly wanted to highlight that they have a take-home option…read morewhere you buy your ceramic for the price listed and the take home kit (I think it's $12?) which includes brushes and I believe 5 paints. We did this for our girl's day and while it can be initially more on the expensive side, we were able to paint at least 2-3 ceramics each. We did buy more paint than what was included in the take home kit because we wanted more colors, but if you plan your colors meticulously then the original amount you're given is more than enough to paint 1 ceramic each. The glazing is covered once you pay for the kit and ceramics and if you have leftover paint and want to go back to buy more ceramics, you don't need to pay extra for any of the glazing. I much prefer this than going in-store if you are doing a group activity. You can take your time painting and it's always nice to be able to do what you want in the comfort of your home. This is perfect for birthdays, girl's night or even just something to do with friends.

Sister and I each made plates, while my brother in law made a piggy bank. Staff was attentive, and we were able to get a table right away walking in on a Monday night. Still a decent amount of people in there for a weekday. Again, staff was attentive, especially when it came to refilling paints, as necessary. They kept everything organized and clean, and we will get to pick up our creations a week from painting. Hadn't been in years, but reminder it's a fun low key activity.
