Out of the times Ive been here, Ive yet to have a bad experience. The owner and every employee is so nice and helpful, and the drinks are amazing! For anyone considering bringing a date or your kids to this establishment, I cant imagine a better place to have a relaxing and enjoyable time with those you love!!

Normally, I really enjoy coming to this establishment, but today I was very disappointment with what took place from one of their employee's while participating at a booked birthday party. Today we were invited to a kids birthday party with kids ages ranging from infant to 10 years old. During this event, an older employee, told the group of kids that other's were there painting too and they needed to keep the noise down....etc. The problem I have with this action is, their were adults/parents she should of addressed instead of a bunch of children. Plus what birthday party with kids have you

I absolutely love this place. It's so nice to come here regardless of how I'm feeling, sit down for a few hours to paint some ceramics that I think will turn out awful, then be pleasantly surprised when I pick them up a few days.

So much fun! They have a great variety of animals, vases, and - of course - dishes for you to select from to paint. The staff are all VERY friendly and helpful. The caf drinks are delicious, and served in mugs that look like they've been painted right there in house. All in all, a great place to spend a few hours!
