At Color Café, we’re proud to be a cashless business! For your convenience, we accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as digital payment options. This helps us provide faster, safer, and more efficient service. Thank you for your understanding!

While we are called Color Café, this is more of an artistic name. We currently do not serve any food or beverages, but you aree welcome to bring - within reason - your own food and non-alcoholic drinks to our studio for consumption by painters. Please note that we strongly recommend for you to wash your hands before you paint again, as 'fatty fingers' on your piece can leave your paint chip off your valuable pottery piece during firing!

Usually we are on a one week turnaround time.  At times during popular holidays such as Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, it may be extended a bit, but most of the time you can expect to pick up your pieces one week after you paint.

Due to space, all pieces will be held for 21 days from the date they were painted (date on your receipt).  Due to Covid-19, this has been extended to 4 months.

Absolutely not! That’s the best thing about Color Café – anyone can do it! We give you instructions and we have lots of tools to make your piece a masterpiece!

You can certainly stop in anytime during regular business hours to paint, however, we do suggest reservations especially on weekends and holidays. Call us at (805) 520-9500.

Since February 2025, we are the proud new owners of this studio and legally have no ties to the previous owner (As You Wish).

However, out of courtesy to you as a valued customer, we will honor Fun Passes and Giftcards previously issued by As You Wish, until June 30, 2025.

After that, unfortunately, you won't be able to use respectively redeem them anymore.

You can certainly paint any piece that you previously purchased at Color Café (or at As You Wish Simi Valley). Just bring in the piece along with your receipt and all you will pay for is your studio fee. We do not fire pieces that were not purchased at Color Café or As You Wish.

• Color Café ensures that all underglaze and glaze paints are free of lead and acid. Additionally each piece painted with underglaze paint is glazed and fired which seals the product making it food safe.
  Please note that any piece painted with an acrylic paint that was not glazed or fired (we don’t offer that), is not food safe. This paint is used for products that are not intended to be used for food or drinking purposes.
  
  

The products are dishwasher safe, however hand washing is recommended to extend the life of the piece. We do not recommend the product be put into the microwave as it may become extremely hot to handle.

We have the absolute best customers in the world, which allows us to offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all products. Happy customers give us the freedom to protect the very few purchases that have minor issues within 30 days of purchase. Simply contact office@color.cafe with any concerns and we will make arrangements for a replacement or return if necessary. Gift Cards, previously purchased Family Fun Passes and Custom Order Products are non-refundable.
