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.
Étant une cliente du ceramic café de la rive sud Ma première expérience à Laval a été plutôt décevante avoir réservé en ligne & pris la peine de téléphoner pour confirmer & se faire mettre à la porte après 3 heures sous prétexte qu'il faut laisser la place à d'autres du jamais vue nos pièces ne sont même pas terminées déjà 3 x que l'on vient nous voir pour que nous quittions nous sommes arrivés à 11h & il est 14h45 nous devons absolument partir.... Je ne reviendrai certainement pas ici
Super activité pour toute la famille! choix de nombreuse céramiques de peinture & d'accessoires pour tous les goût ! Le personnel est super accueillant bon café bonne nourriture j'ai pas été déçue de ma journée !
It was my first time here, & I have never painted ceramics before. So I would say it is very beginner friendly, but I had to take myself through the whole process. You are seated & fill out a form with your name & number. Then when that is done, walk up stairs & choose what you want to paint. Each item is labeled with a price. Bring it back to your table & a waitress will mark down which ceramics you chose & explain a bit how it goes & take the drink or food order. Your time starts now. They charge a few dollars for each hour you are painting. I painted 2 items in 2-3 hours & had a London fog tea. The whole experience cost about 50$ & was nice. You are asked to return in 10 days to pick up the ceramic items. They hold the item for 2 months, & will not call. I will update my review when I pick up my ceramics. I could have used a bit more guidance with what to do with my paints, or how to use the stickers or stencils they have available. But it's not an art class, it's a Cafe. I had a good time solo & saw a lot of groups & a few couples.
Je suggère que la musique soit changé
La musique qui jouait nous semblait être une musique pour dépressif. Elle ne mettait pas une ambiance relax & décontracté mais plutôt déprimante

Great experience. Only complaint is after we ordered once the staff didnt come back for long. Neither to take my coffee irder or to pick up the dirty dishes.... Didnt spoil the experience. The tables could be a bit bigger. Ince you got food. No space
15% de pouvoir obligatoire pour des groupes de 6 & plus. Nous n'avons personne qui est venu nous expliquer comment la peinture fonctionne. Heureusement que certaine personne du groupe était déjà familière. Pas d'eau. Après la première fois qu'il nous on demande s'il on voulais quelque chose au début. AUCUN employé n'est venu nous voir du reste de l'activité. Nous avons été la 4h...
Nous avons reçu la mauvaise table & ça a pris du temps pour nous en trouver une autre, l'eau que nous avons demandée n'est jamais arrivée & nous sommes restées plus de trois heures avec aucune personne ne venant nous voir. Si nous devons mettre 15% de tip pour du service, il faudrait au moins qu'il y ait du service. Nous n'avons vu que 3 employés sur le plancher & le magasin était plein, elles ne pouvaient pas répondre à tous. Le tip était 0 nécessaire. La caissière était par contre très respectueuse.
Very good service from Helena, she was very fast & friendly. She explained the whole process to us & came to check up often which made the experience very pleasant. She was a very efficient & positive worker.

La salle est très froide, ce qui m'a retenu de mettre 5 etoiles. Quant au service, le service lui-meme est bien, mais le temps pour la preparation (du cafe & de la nourriture) est très long
Amazing it with amazing,I went with 2 of my best friends we had so much fun the nachos are so good any of them they're amazing I really recommend you to go paint with friends family boyfriend or girlfriend would be a really fun date just paint eat talk at the same time but overall it was wonderful I really recommend
Table de deux pour deux : pas de.place pour nos manteaux d'hiver, les pots de peinture & les cafés : on a même pas pu manger tellement les tables sont petites!
5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Points positifs: 1. Activité parfaite pour les personnes créatives. 2. Service rapide (nourriture/breuvage) & libre service pour les pinceaux & peintures. 3. Ambiance agréable (peut être bruyant aux heures de pointes) 4. Grande variété de céramique à peinturer (tasses, bols, assiettes, figurines, vases, etc.) Points négatifs: 1. Revient quand même chère surtout si vous prenez de la nourriture en plus. 2. File d'attente dans les moments les plus achalandés.
So, the wifey & I dove into this ceramic fiesta, armed with brushes & dreams of crafting masterpieces. It was a blast, creativity soaring & all, but my wallet was giving me the side-eye like, "Bro, we didn't sign up for a Picasso budget." This place is like the ceramic version of a five-star restaurant - fancy but with a bill that makes you question your life choices. We had fun, but our piggy bank is currently on strike, demanding better wages. I get it; they're probably funding the next ceramic revolution with those prices. :) If you're rolling in dough or maybe even spare change, it's a top-tier pottery party. But if you're on a first-name basis with your budget, you might want to unleash your artistic genius with crayons at home. Same vibe, different price tag. Ilhan
