    Really fun few hours. The employees were super nice and friendly! We went for my birthday in November (fam of 4) and then my daughter and I went the week before Christmas.

    WONDERFUL Experience for us girls to spend the dY being creative! Professional staff, informative and easy to follow instruction. Ice cream bar a bonus and hydration options available! Will be back!

    This was by far the best paint your ceramic studio I've been too! They offer a wide variety of snacks and drinks including Ice cream and wine. A variety of pieces to choose from. They have several stencils, paint brushes and sponges to use. It is a bit pricey like most ceramic studios. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Everything was very clean and organized even with how busy it was. You can call ahead to reserve a spot. We were a walk in around noon and it started filling up shortly after we were seated. We parked a couple blocks away by the flea market since we planned on stopping at several stops.

    My girls and I like to paint items as gifts for people. Half the time, we decide to keep them, but that's just the way it is. I prefer it to the mall. We just moved here and had our spot in Redmond. This place was superior in a few ways. 1) All colors are available at each table, though there are about 50 colors. You can pluck from another empty table if you are missing something. 2) We had a waitress who served us ice cream and mimosas. 3) They take tap to pay It is a pretty penny, so save up for your experience. A date with my kids was about $50 before tip. They ask you to write your name in pencil on your item and take a pic of it before leaving. I also took a pic of my receipt. It is not as disorganized as other reviews lead you to believe. Also, the service was incredible. If anyone appeared snooty, it was the other customers. It was very busy and reservations are recommended. They squeezed us in before an afternoon reservation. Customer service does not mean kissing ass all hours of the day. The love you make is the love you take.

    I've been here multiple times and it's always so much fun! They have a huge variety of pottery to choose from and the staff is wonderful. Definitely recommend Painted Plate!

    I've been here 5 times in the past two months. I seriously love it. There has been someone different working there each time. 4 out of the 5 employees have been super friendly and provided awesome customer service. I can't remember all their names, I think one was named Autumn or Meadow and another was Izzy. There was only 1 girl that I have any complaints about, I don't think she told me her name, but she seemed very bothered that I was there and annoyed when I ordered some coffee. It was the middle of the week and it wasn't even busy. Like I said though, most of the staff has been awesome. I strongly recommend going on a weekday, it's a nice atmosphere when not all the tables are full and it's actually quite relaxing. I have been there on a chaotic Saturday night and it wasn't horrible, but I definitely don't prefer it. I've had a few food items off their menu, the artichoke pesto and bruschetta with the parmean crostinis are delicious and good sized portions for 2 people to share. I have yet to try the ice cream, but I have seen others order and it looks like their portions are quite generous. I especially love that you dont have to feel rushed to get a piece done and can come back another day to finish up. It can definitely get a bit pricey, but I'd say it's worth it.

As with all craft stores such as Michael's, the pricing on most every product is very reasonably priced which makes it a whole lot easier to want to do crafting. Selection wise they do pretty good to be honest. The only real difficult thing to find is allot of items for Cricut machines as well as others that are past of a niche market. Not to mention products like this are expensive anyhow. All said and done, this is probably my favorite store (Wether it is the wife going on or myself).

I went in last night 7/19/25 around 7:50pm to return it. The man behind the counter did not appear to want to help anyone. I asked to do a return and he asked what was wrong. I told him what happened and he said he needed to call a manager. She said because I had used it I could not return it. I said their policy states if I am unhappy with my purchase I can return it within 60 days with the receipt. I only attempted to use it. Obviously I was not happy with my purchase since it didn't work for what I needed it for. She still declined my return so I left and called the Lakewood store. I asked about the return policy and told them what happened and they said they didn't understand why Lacey would not allow me to do a return. I had to drive 40 min to return my item. From now on I'll drive 40 min to spend my money. Lacey customer service is trash and they will not be receiving my business anymore.

My wife, Peggy, and I started this farm back in 2009 after our 1st visit to Sequim in 2008. Well looking over the bright purple fields and seeing all the happy bees and happy people surrounding lavender, we thought maybe we could bring this same feeling to Olympia. Since we had a 4 acre piece of property, and I didn't want to mow it all the time, we were looking for something unique for people to come and enjoy. Peggy did a lot of research and tried to find a grower that had plants that would survive in this area. We settled on Lavender at Stonegate from Silverton, Oregon. Sarah, was amazing and she turned us on to 12 beautiful varieties of lavender. We mostly grow True English lavenders but we also have hybrids, that are known for their size, scent and oil content. Our English variety, Royal Velvet, is extremely popular with cooks, distillers, bakers and chocolatiers. Our hybrid lavender's, or lavandins, are used for large bouquets and for their aromatic essential oil. We steam-distill many of our plants here on the property. They have been acclaimed to be some of the very best essential oils that people have ever used. Peggy fills our gift shoppe with body soothing products and lovely sachets, eye pillows and warmable neck wraps. We think the best thing about coming to our farm, is that people can escape the rigors of city life and sit back and just relax.
