It's a painting, an arts and craft, a bakery, and a coffee shop. Great place for friends to get together and spend quality time, with great refreshment. They make their own bread, Cheddar scallion scones, chocolate chip cookies, sandwiches, and many other items. My favorites are the different coffees and teas. The staff is very pleasant and helpful, both with the food service and the arts. What a gem to have on Main Street.

Surprisingly good food in a pottery painting place…read more Been meaning to review this place for a while. Each time I'd go in, see no one around, then left. This last attempt, there was a bunch of staff around so I got the full experience. The staff were very friendly and informative. They explained the pottery painting side of things to anyone painting a piece. They had a wealth of knowledge in that regard, explaining how to get the best results for each medium. I wasn't here for the pottery, I was here for the food. So they sat at a 4 top and let me go up to the cafe to order. The menu is basic, egg sandwiches, avocado toast, French toast, coffees and lattes. Some fresh baked pastries available but mostly simple dishes. I opted for their French toast latte and an egg sandwiches with bacon. Also got a cinnamon roll that was baked that morning. Food came out after a few minutes. Not speedy but not slow. Took some pics and dug in. There's a fundamental rule that I follow when reviewing. "The flavors on the description need to match the flavors of the dish." There's sandwich did this exemplary. The garlic aoli had a strong but slightly acidic bite to it, which helped the arugula's bitterness. The egg was fluffy, the tomato grilled and salted, and the bacon perfectly crispy. The soft home made bread was almost too soft, compressing down to nothing after each bite. If anything, the bread could've been grilled to give it a bit more structure. But besides that gripe, it's one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. The latte, that's what took the star off. The coffee is giv beans, so a good quality product. The problem was it was extremely, overbearingly bitter. With a French toast latte, you'd expect the sweet to counteract the bitter. But nope, the sweet came from the cold foam and the concentrated coffee at the base led to straight sips of cringingly bitter coffee. After mixing the cold foam into the coffee, it became more bearable. But the damage was done by that point, and my pallet was shot. Had to dump most of the coffee. Overall, it's a neat place to go to. It's rare to have activities along with good food, and the staff there make the experience great. Not too much a fan of the specialty coffee, but the food is well worth the price. A solid food choice for Main Street.

There are so many different pieces to select from and there is an even greater amount of colors to choose from to decorate your piece! I personally choose to glaze on of the pre made creations but there are other options such as a making your own pottery, candle making, and glass art! Seating is first come first serve and to my knowledge there is no time limit to how long you can stay and paint! I would definitely recommend!

Immediately, we were seated and they gave us our instructions. We selected a piece of pottery we wanted to paint. My wife and I chose bowls, then we were given a selection of paint colors to paint our bowls. After a few coats of paints, our job was done. We then proceeded to pay and in about a week we will pick up our works. It was a real fun time. The staff were very helpful. Everything was well organized and fun. Everyone had a blast. Apparently they also had candle making along with some glass design/decorating.

The reason I say it was only ok is because no one really spoke to us. We walked in and we had to go up and ask someone what to do, even though we were the only people in the studio. And then that was kind of the last time anyone spoke to us. Check ins or seeing if we had any questions would have been nice. Lots of choices and paint colors. They texted us earlier than expected to pick up, originally they said 2 weeks but it was only one which is great because 2 seemed long. Overall it was fun, but I had been years ago and it was more friendly and the artist helped us and gave feedback etc but this time it was more on your own and I had kids with me so I would have appreciated more interactions.
