Java & Clay Cafe

I was walking downtown with my daughter and found this hidden gem. Our family used to paint all the time but the place we used to go to in Seaside on vacation closed down and we got away from it. I am so glad we found this place! I had a tasty Carmel latte and watched my daughter paint this morning. Such a joy. We will be back!

Great place to grab coffee and bite to eat. I love that the pottery area is attached, so fun to have the artistic feel even if you're only there for the coffee. 😉 Bummed there wasn't wifi but still made for a comfy place to sit down and get some work done. Oh, and the salami & pesto panini was HEAVENLY 🤟🏻

Very covid friendly, when I went there at least! Drinks are all in to-go containers, and social distancing is enforced as well as mask-wearing! We called ahead to go there, which I believe is required currently! My brother is in the background, sorry for that, but these are also from late June//early July of last year, so perhaps some things have changed! Hope this helped! Awesome place, with great drinks, employees, and section of things to paint! 💙

I attended their monthly Ladies Night Out event and it was a lot of fun! It is well organized and the staff is super helpful and friendly. There is a nice selection of paint and pottery pieces to choose from. Pottery is a tad expensive (average item is around $25) but it does include the glazing and firing of your piece. The cafe was very clean with a wide variety of drinks and snacks. There is a small selection of children’s books as well to keep little ones occupied. Overall it was a wonderful evening out and I would definitely visit again to paint another piece! (Tip: If you are an artist you might want to bring your own brushes, as their selection caters more towards crafters).

Had a great time and everyone was friendly and helpful for my son and myself. Non-toxic paints and even practice plates. Had the coffee a couple times now, good so far. They also have food, sandwiches and baked goods. Go check them out, paint washes out by the way and they have sponges you can wet and wipe the paint off right away.
