Review Summary

Céramic Café is widely seen as a fun, relaxing spot with a huge variety of ceramics and colors and a vibe that suits dates, family outings or friends because you can spend hours painting while enjoying coffee, yet price is frequently described as high and service quality varies across visits; some experiences feature friendly, attentive staff while others mention rude or inattentive service, long waits for tables and inconsistent follow up after orders. The dining aspect is considered decent but not the main draw, and a few reviews note slow or average food and drinks. The final ceramic work is a mixed bag: some pieces look beautiful, but others arrive damaged, with fingerprints, cracks or marks, prompting apologies, discounts or replacements in some cases. Costs can add up due to time spent painting and per piece pricing. Location and layout also affect experience, with some spaces reported as tight or less accessible. Overall, the activity remains worth trying for a unique date or outing, but expectations should be tuned regarding cost, service consistency and final quality, and reservations are recommended especially on busy days or at certain locations.

We popped in to decorate a ceramic piece (options abound: vases, piggy banks, candle holders, & other temptations), but after much deliberation, we committed to the noble mug. Three & a half blissful hours later-yes, 3.5-we emerged victorious, slightly paint-splattered, deeply focused, & wildly proud of every tiny detail. Time truly flies when you're deciding whether that leaf needs one more shade of green.

Since it's also an actual café, you can sip, snack, & craft simultaneously. It's creative, cozy, & very enjoyable.

Perfect for a chill afternoon, a wholesome date, or an activity with kids (just… maybe don't bring 80 of them at once).
It took a week for us to get our finished product back, & it was really reasonably priced!
All in all, a delightfully hands-on experience that feeds both your inner artist & your caffeine dependency. Highly recommend.

Même pas eu la chance de faire cette activité avec ma meilleure amie. Soit qu'il y a trop de réservation ou qu'il faut absolument réserver ou soit qu'il y a beaucoup de monde qui y vont.

CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING!!!

Super service, pièces disponibles 1 semaine apres, peut accueillir beaucoup de personnes. Tres belle activite en famille ou entre amis.
Mes filles ont maintenant 21 & bientot 24 ans; nous venons quasiment tous les ans depuis qu'elles sont petites & j'ai un beau service d'assiettes, tasses, plats….qu'elles ont decorees depuis toutes petites.

Le seul petit probleme est que je les ai mis au lave vaisselle alors les premiers ont perdu leur vernis qu'on ne peut pas restaurer sans risquer de les briser.

Alors un conseil, ne prenez pas de chance & lavez vos poteries a la main, c'est plus pérenne depuis les nombreuses annes que je fais ca

This was our first time visiting this ceramic café. We spent a lot of time carefully choosing our piece & painting it, & the creative process itself was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined by the staff, especially the person assigned to our table.

We were given very little instruction & had to figure out almost everything on our own, which is difficult for first-time customers. When we asked for help, the advice we received actually made our art worse. I asked how to use a specific paint bottle & was told to'use it like a pen.' Following that advice caused a large smudge. When I asked how to fix or remove the mistake, I was handed sandpaper & told to rub it off. This only made the situation much worse by spreading the paint & making the mistake far more noticeable.

After this happened, the staff member clearly avoided us. Even when we tried to get her attention, she ignored us for the rest of the session. Maybe she knew what she had done, felt guilty & could not even look at us. We spent several more hours trying to fix our ceramics, but the final result was very disappointing.

To make matters worse, the café charges based on time spent painting, which resulted in a very high bill. Given how confusing the process was for new customers & how little guidance was provided, it almost felt like a strategy to trick us & keep us at the table longer & charge more.

Overall, this was a frustrating experience, & we left feeling disappointed & overcharged.

The process of picking up the ceramic is also unorganized. We went back exactly 1 week later as instructed. It took them 30 minutes to find our pieces & there were unknown stains & defects on our art & some numbers written on them which does not look good.

Update du 7 janvier :
La boutique suite à mon commentaire a fait un très beau geste commercial. Je suis vraiment contente car c'est plutôt rare que la satisfaction d'un client soit si bien prise en compte. Je les remercie encore pour cela.

---------------
Visite en septembre 2025 : L'idée est très sympa & le choix de pièces à peindre est vraiment vaste - il y en a pour tous les goûts & c'est un vrai plaisir de laisser libre cours à sa créativité.

On nous a très brièvement expliqué le fonctionnement, puis l'activité se déroule entièrement en autonomie : à nous d'aller chercher le matériel, de le nettoyer, etc.

Ce qui m'a déçue, c'est la qualité du résultat final. J'avais choisi une pièce assez chère & passé beaucoup de temps à la décorer, mais je l'ai récupérée avec des traces de doigts & un éclat. C'est vraiment dommage de repartir avec un objet abîmé après y avoir mis autant de soin.

Le concept est chouette, mais l'attention portée aux pièces & à la satisfaction des clients devrait être renforcée - surtout quand on investit du temps & un certain budget.

I've been here many times over the course of my life & have almost always had a good painting experience: the array of ceramics is great, the paint options are plenty, & usually the ceramics come out okay. I also like the drinks & food. My only complaint is that the staff is is consistently rude & jaded. I work as a waitress myself & can say that on my worst days I've never acted like most of them do every time I go. They don't even come by the table after explaining to clear or take more orders & they have tons of staff, so I don't see why the bad moods are warranted. It's also just a place where people go to enjoy themselves, so the sass is just really jarring.

Céramic Café Studio Montréal is a fun & creative spot where you can paint your own ceramic pieces while enjoying coffee, snacks, & a relaxed atmosphere. It's perfect for a date, family outing, or chill afternoon with friends - choose your pottery, pick from lots of colors, & bring your design to life.

L'activité Céramique est très sympathique, le matériel bien fournis & bien expliqué.
Cependant le service café & nourriture n'est pas très bon, l'attente est longue & la qualité de ce qui est servie n'est pas exceptionnelle.
