Céramic Café offers a creative and relaxed space where guests can paint pottery while enjoying coffee and snacks, with a wide range of ceramics and colors that makes it suitable for dates, family outings, or a solo creative break. The experience is generally described as enjoyable and engaging, with many praising the friendly atmosphere and the chance to take home a personal keepsake after decorating. However, reviews also note that service quality can vary, with some staff perceived as rude or inattentive, long waits on busy days, and occasional issues with the finished pieces such as chipping, cracking, or marks that detract from the final look. Overall it remains a popular hands on activity that blends creativity with social time, with price and duration expectations depending on the piece chosen.
Loved the space. They have plenty of ceramics in different shapes & sizes with reasonable fees. They have a good range of colors.
Enjoyed my time there & my friends also liked the experience!
Staff was OK. Showed almost no enthusiasm? Seemed like they all didn't want to be there. We were there on a Wednesday. Place was clean. Had fun decorating :)

Great way to spend time with someone you love! Loved the large selection of ceramics & colours & was made even better by being able to paint with some hot drinks ❤?

Cool expérience mais l'ambiance des employés est déplorable. Tu sens une tension ambiantes, toutes les serveuses semblent être à un enterrement: aucun sourire, aucune amabilité. Bref c'était cool 1 fois mais c'est tout
Really love this place! There's a great variety of pottery pieces & paint colours. The food & drink options are also solid, I really like the sandwiches! Also, the music selection is great :)
L'accueil & l'expérience est vraiment superbe. Seule problème, à la réception de la céramique, un bris sur une partie de cette dernière. Il propose de la garder pour la réparer & me rappeler pour venir la récupérer une nouvelle fois. Jamais je n'ai eu d'appel, je me suis déplacé à deux reprises avant de la récupérer. Aucun geste commercial du fait de ce contre temps. Un peu dommage tout de même. Je n'ai pas eu ce soucis avec celui de Terrebonne.
Great experience. I've been there 3 times & it definitely shows that they care about their customers.
One of my ceramics cracked when it was cooked & they gave me a free coupon.
Then they served me the wrong drink & immediately took it back at no charge!
Nice place to go for an intimate date or with friends if you're looking for an artsy experience. It's original & you have a lot of pieces to choose from.
On the other hand, we stayed for almost 4 hours & the waitress only passed by our table once at the beginning, did not check to make sure things were ok or if we needed help, so about the pieces you will be really on yourself.
If it's your first time I'd recommend you to pick something small since the bigger the piece, more time will be spent there & you pay by hour basically. Good thing is that they give a students' discount.
Only that would have made me rate it a 4 star, but at the end we had an unpleasant time with the cashier, she really switched her mood when she saw we weren't going to tip (she was actively looking at the terminal to check what tip option we would choose from), & for obvious reasons we didn't feel at all like tipping.
I have to add that we also had to wash our own brushes at the end.
Activité intéressante, belle ambiance. Ils ont un menu de bouffe & breuvage pour ceux qui ont faim. Les pièces peuvent être un peu chère selon le modèle, mais elles sont belles & ça vaut l'expérience.

loved going here for my birthday!! i do wish the cafe aspect was a bit more of an aspect in this place like more selection of food & drinks maybe a bit higher quality items too but the ceramic aspect is really good
There was a very fun time in this cafe, but they didn't give me the recipe before paying so when I paid, l just realized that for 9 people we were, we had to pay service fee & they charged me & the other guy, not all the group! & they said it was a mistake so I paid service fee & tip & tax!! It was so much for a 20$ plate.
Une très bonne expérience & l'ambiance est relaxante. C'est un endroit parfait pour être en amis ou un solo date. Il y a beaucoup de choix de céramique. J'y retournerai.
J'y suis allée avec une amie il y a quelques semaines. Grosses sélection pour le choix de céramique, de couleurs & pinceaux. Leurs sandwichs & cafés sont délicieux. C'était notre 1ère fois là bas, on a eu peu d'explications. Heureusement on posait des questions, car on aurait été complètement perdues. On est venu une fois seulement à notre table pour la commande de nourriture & pas de rappel pour voir si tout va bien. Le staff est gentil, mais service à améliorer. Il faut payer notre table à l'heure. Le prix reste quand même raisonnable , ce qui est plus cher c'est les céramiques. Mais on n'est pas limité dans le matériel (couleurs, pochoirs, pinceaux...) utilisé. De plus, j'avais oublié un objet dans les toilettes & j'ai appelé, ils l'avaient retrouvé & l'ont garder pour moi jusqu'à la semaine d'après quand je suis allez chercher les céramiques cuites. Ça, c'était super apprécié. J'utilise régulièrement ma tasse fait là-bas & c'est très durable les couleurs même si je la mets au lave vaisselle. Somme toutes, ça reste une bonne activité à faire.
