Ceramic Café-Studio is a unique franchise! A ceramic painting studio, a coffee shop and a boutique all in one place. Since opening in 1997, people gather at Ceramic Café-Studio. Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished painter, alone, with family or friends, you can come and paint original ceramics, which are both personalized and practical. The famous paninis are well known, the smoothies are delicious and the coffee is comforting. The Ceramic Café in Laval opened its doors in 2000 at 565 boulevard Saint-Martin West, between Industrial and Laurentian boulevards, at the corner of Sun Valley Road. Since 2012, it is managed by Louise Fontaine and Paola Cacopardo. The Ceramic Café in Laval has two floors and can accommodate up to 100 people, in fact groups of over 50 people regularly organize activities there. Louise Fontaine and the Ceramic Café Laval team travel into the Laurentians and Lanaudière to provide ceramic painting activities to groups such as schools, day care, summer camps, office parties, showers, children's parties and other occasions.

Overall, Céramic Café is a fun, creative spot with a wide range of ceramics, paints and textures that appeals to families, couples and groups looking for a relaxed, hands on activity. Reviews frequently praise the friendly staff, the welcoming atmosphere and the option to eat or drink while decorating. However, several comments note that prices can be high and some charges for time or table service feel steep, with a few experiences reporting slow or inconsistent service, crowds and noise during peak times. The seating can be tight and some guests mention limited kid friendly spaces. Despite these issues, the activity itself and the final pieces are often described as beautiful and satisfying, and many reviewers plan to return, sometimes using coupons to improve value. Overall, it is a popular, enjoyable experience with caveats about cost and crowding that vary by location and time.
A wonderful place, especially if you love arts & crafts. Usually, you can stay as long as you need, however during hilidays & school breaks, you're only given 2 hours to finish. Which may not be enough, depending on the project, of course. If you're new to painting, ask for help. The staff are extremely kind & helpful. They will actually walk you through the entire process, & help pick colours etc. I prefer their Laval location because it's easy to park, & the placebis really bright & spacious. A ton of ceramics to choose from. You can find anything from small cups, shot glasses, & figurines, to large salad bowls, serving platters, piggy banks & statuettes. Kids love it too :) The only problem is that once you try it you're hooked.
Belle expérience au Café Céramique. Il manquait un peu de personnel, mais les filles ont fait de leur mieux malgré tout. Nous avons quand même passé un bon moment. Je recommande vivement cette activité. 😉
La première fois que je suis allée au Céramic Café, j'ai eu une belle expérience.
Par contre, la deuxième fois, moyen. Il y avait une tache que je voulais faire partir & une employée m'a conseillé de sabler légèrement cette zone avec un papier sablé, mais résultat: le vernis ne tient pas sur cette cette zone. Ils ont essayé de venir à nouveau, mais cela demeure sans verni.
Au prix que l'on paie, j'ai trouvé ce conseil & résultat dommage...
P. S. : n'utilisez pas de papier sablé & dessinez par dessus le défaut ou la tache.
Une belle place avec une grande variété de choix de céramique à peindre. Nous n'avons pas attendu pour une place & le service était rapide, bouffe très bonne. Le seul bémol était que la musique était un peu agressante pour une activité dans ce genre. La grosse guitare & le chant heavy metal, rien contre ce genre musical mais ça me donnait mal à la tête. Peut-être revoir votre playlist
Friday night 7:30! Was told it's a 30minute wait, that they had no place. Asked about all the free tables, told the section is closed. Unacceptable. Over 5 employees in back of the counter. So I don't think it's a staff issue.

I love the concept but the customer service is awful. Our waitress refused to speak English, took our food order last (we were the first to arrive), & didn't check on us once.
The tools & brushes are all mostly in poor condition, the ones on our table were not useable. Overall very expensive for what you get

Belle expérience mais, les employés devraient informer les clients dès lors arrivée des tarifs & non avoir une surprise rendue à la caisse. Les tables sont beaucoup trop proche, on entend toutes les conversations des gens.
The experience was great but when we came back to take are things they had lost two of them & they all had holes paint stains of colours we didn't even touch.
