    Our visit to Clay Café Paarl at Groot Parys was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed into a space that perfectly blends creativity, relaxation, and top-tier hospitality. The service was outstanding—professional, warm, and seamless. Jody, the manager, is an absolute gem. He has a wonderful way of letting us know he was available whenever we needed him without making us feel crowded. That level of attentiveness is rare and truly appreciated. Our waitress, Chanel, was the real star of the day. She is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind—not just to the children but the kids at heart as well! Her helpfulness and calm demeanour made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the food—delicious! We got so caught up in painting that we didn’t give it the attention it deserved, but every bite we did manage to savour was exceptional. A personal favourite? The butternut and caramelised onion pizza—a perfect balance of flavours that I’d come back for in a heartbeat! The play area for kids is a fantastic touch, keeping them entertained while allowing the adults to fully enjoy the creative process. It’s these thoughtful little details that make Clay Café Paarl such a special place. Whether you’re looking for a fun family outing, a creative date, or a relaxing day out with friends, this spot ticks all the boxes. We can’t wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!
