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 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.

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.
Une belle activité relax. Un beau choix de céramique & de couleur. Nos pinceaux avaient vu de meilleurs jours, par contre. Abordable quand on deniche un coupon d'achat groupé.
Ça fait 3 fois que j'essaye d'appeler pour réserver pour un groupe de 8 (pendant les heures d'ouverture). Les 2 premières fois, la ligne coupait automatiquement lorsque je composais le poste à rejoindre. La 3e fois, j'ai laissé sonné pendant plus de 50 coups, sans réponse encore. Déjà, l'expérience commence très mal.

Bad service at the door, was called out Infront of client's, Micro aggression , racism , injustice was accused of giving attitude to the front desk when it's absolutely untrue my phone number was given to be called back to be seated they took my number wrong the last digits was wrong & the front desk told me I was giving them attitude for a mistake they made I was calm & collected the whole time ! I placed a complaint was called by management was given a free entry with my son they apologized I was happy with that conclusion! Come back one week later they LOST my ceramic they can't find it Go figure! I asked for my money back will never go back
Concept is great but service at this location is meh. It's very crowded especially during peak times on the weekends. The staff covering the tables to me feel overwhelmed & aren't in the headspace as a result to be friendly with clients. Nonetheless, overall I always enjoy my time here 😊
We visited as a group of six, including three kids. We were informed at the beginning that a 15% gratuity would be automatically added due to our group size.
This policy is not stated anywhere on their website. Their site only mentions that groups of 12 or more are considered large, with no mention of mandatory gratuity or extra charges.
I also did not order any food or drinks, so I did not receive any service personally. I do mind being charged a tip for a service I did not receive.
Tipping should be optional & transparent, not mandatory & undisclosed online. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.
Great place for a winter day... my daughter loved it, the staff was super friendly & they explained everything to us, for sure we will come back again.

Vraiment fun la fin de semaine prendre un bon moment entre famille ou amis. On fait un peu d'art qu'on remporte a la maison. & on peut manger , boire sur place. Super expérience.
✨Pour ma première visite dans un café céramique, j'ai été enchantée par l'expérience. Peindre tout en dégustant un exquis chocolat chaud ☕? un mariage absolument parfait 😍🎨✨
Moi & ma mère sommes venue pour avoir du plaisir le service de jour étaient super, les filles gentilles & serviables par contre quand nous sommes venues le temps de payer le soir a environ 17:35 la jeune nommée Gabrielle aucun sourire, bête a charge à ma mère le mauvais prix de sa céramique & a regarder comme si elle était épaisse parce que ma mère lui a poser des questions donc service à la cliente très pourrie de sa part
Nous sommes allée le 19 novembre 2025
Merci & bonne soirée
C'est un très bel endroit pour y passer du temps cool & relax entre amis ou en famille.
Prendre un bon café tout en laissant aller notre créativité à peindre nos céramiques. :)
Je recommande fortement!
