Amazing staff, as a first time goin my experience was great, customer service was great, well explain on instructions, super easy and flexible .. My daughters loved it! Planning on going back again. read more

We came here for my daughter's 6th birthday recently and it was perfect from beginning to end. The team was so knowledgeable and friendly on the phone when I called to ask questions about the event. I came in a few days prior to pre-select some pieces for the event for the kids to choose from. When we showed up day of the party, the team was pleasant and let us into the party room a bit early to decorate. I love that you can bring in your own food and drinks. The team member who worked our party was so patient and friendly with all the kids. The kids loved that they could pick out their own piece to paint. Everyone did a great job painting and had a lot of fun. My daughter ended up getting a birthday plate with her handprint and all her guests' fingerprints. It was such a nice memento! This is definitely a fun and unique spot for a birthday party! read more

I've been to 3 pottery painting places in the last 3 months. 1 in San Carlos, 1 in Burlingame and this one in Daly City (Westlake Shopping Center). This was my favorite experience by far. It was packed the day I went (day before Mother's Day). Regardless, the staff was super friendly and very, very helpful and no one seemed stressed. They have everything laid out on the tables for you; paint color palette to choose your paint colors, paint tray, water, white butcher paper on each table. They then bring pencils and paintbrushes to you as well. The employee helping us explained the process in detail and was there every step of the way when we needed help. There is a separate room for parties here which is nice for both party guests and for the other customers just going to paint. Looks like you can bring in trays of food to the party room, which is a nice feature. I found the painting experience here to be fun, clean and very organized. They have a large selection of paint items to choose from too. I would come back in a heartbeat. For those who care, it does seem a little smaller than the other 2 places, especially on a busy day but not so much so that it would deter me from coming back. Whoever does the hiring and training of your employees - GREAT JOB! I hope it's consistently like this on all days and if so, you're going to attract repeat customers. read more

My family and I have visited this location many times. We've always had a great experience. It is very crowded on weekends and often need to be placed on a waitlist. You have a better chance at getting a table if there's 2 people, or if you're able to - split your party to a couple of tables so you're not all waiting so long. Weeknights is complete opposite. My son and I went to pick up some pieces that were ready, and there was not a single person painting. So we decided to stay and paint another item. read more

My grandkids had a blast. They stayed focused and loved all the color choices and stamps. We stayed for about 1 1/2 hours. read more

Color Me Mine - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Daly City, California

Been here three times over the last few years and each time was such a fun and chill experience, I had to give Color Me Mine a review! First come first serve basis. Never had to wait but by 2pm on the weekends the tables fill up. If you don't finish they can save it for you to come back another time. I would recommend blocking out 2.5 - 3 hours for this activity. Pottery pieces span the walls to choose from, ranging from $20 - $50 from what I've seen, depending on the size and detail. The pieces are always different. They do have a dedicated "green section" for people to paint pieces for their preferred herb - which surprised me as I thought this was a kid-centric space (pipes to water pipes). Walking to choose one can feel a little cramped tbh. Service is always friendly and they help you setup the paint while you are gathering your brushes. I have to note, they do play some good music with top 100 along with rap/RnB classics, which helped me get into the zone lol. read more

Color Me Mine - Salt & pepper shaker dogs, tropical fern mug, bowl/pot, Nintendo switch tray. Completed in 2 hrs. - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Daly City, California

Came here with my family - parents, the 4 siblings, one of my sisters fiancé and my bf. No reservations needed and there is no time limit on how long you can be there. We all picked out our pieces - prices will vary, chose what paints we wanted with the numbers above each color selected so we would know which one to use for refill. Our girl helping at our table was pretty soft spoken so we couldn't hear very well on the instructions but we figured it out. They have stencils, stamps etc. for you to use. My bf came to pick them up a few days later and they turned out AMAZING! They were also packaged and bubble wrapped with care. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

Since the first time coming to the kids night out, my girls love it. This is our fourth time we have been there. It's a creative and relaxing activity for them to coloring. And also they love the bingo game at the end of the party! read more

Really great double date activity! Good: - The variety and optionality is awesome - there are so many things to paint and getting set up is super easy - The staff are incredibly organized and it felt like they had run through the instructions hundreds of times - There are so many paints to choose from! - The place is really quiet and good for catching up but also for getting good painting done in silence - Decently cheap too! Great value. Bad: - There are very little instructions for how to get started and what to paint so if anything, know what you want to do before you get there! Overall this was a fun activity to do with my friends! read more

I recommend calling ahead if you have your heart set on painting. They host birthday parties that sometimes reserve the whole place. Otherwise it's first come first serve with no reservations taken. They have a decent number of pieces but not as wide of a selection as some other locations. There's a $12 studio fee per person plus the cost of your piece which can be pricey. I spent over $90 for 2 people and 2 cups/mugs. The nice thing is you can paint to your hearts delight. Depending on what you're painting this activity can take several hours so plan accordingly. Overall it's a fun way to pass an afternoon. read more

My friend and I had a great experience here. Staff were extremely nice and patient. It was a busy morning over the weekend but they made sure to help everyone get what they needed. We will definitely come back and introduce more people to join! Something else I really appreciate was that they helped me purchase and hold a plate that I been looking for. After picking it up, they allowed me to come back to paint at a later time. Very good communication and good service. read more

My daughters love going to Color Me Mine! We usually go when their Auntie visits, but have also booked birthday parties with them and also attended summer camps in the past. The gal who helped us recently was so kind and patient. We enjoyed picking out our special ceramic piece to paint. There's a ton of colors and tools to choose from. Our ceramic pieces were glazed and ready for pick up in less than 2 weeks. read more

Came in on 2/12/2025 to do a little family art therapy. It was our first time here and Jessie and Nick were so sweet and nice to my family and I. They walked us through everything and was throughly explaining to us how everything works. Definitely a fun place if you are looking for something fun to do. Check them out if you are ever near by. read more

Had a blast at Color Me Mine this weekend. Yuri was awesome, friendly and helpful as we were first timers. Great colors and options of stuff to paint. Nice clean store and friendly staff. It's a little pricey, but it's not like you paint pottery often, so it wasn't a big deal. Had a good time, would definitely take the kids or nieces and nephews back for fun couple of hours doing something with no screen time. read more

This is my second time going to color me mine and the first time I went to the one in daly city! I got a mini flower pot for about 26 dollars and each person is 10 dollars on top of what you want to get painted. You can get unlimited paint which was nice and the there was plenty of seating. The staff were lovely and really nice which I enjoyed! read more

When we got there we asked if there was a wait, and there was no wait for walk-ins. They do not take reservations. There is a $10 painting fee per person. There was a kid's party, but they had a separate room for them. We were seated pretty close to the pieces. So when people were choosing what they wanted to paint, they were all surrounding me. The row near the wall could be moved further away. The selections of pieces didn't have that much variety. There were a lot of "one of a kind" pieces, so if you saw someone paint that, that was the only one. The pens used to mark which color you want on your palette bleed, and mixed with all our colors. read more

Very helpful staff! I called and they gave me the run down on how it works - walk ins for the most part (I'd honestly call because you never know if they had a private event. They had one the day I went but I went hours beforehand so no issue for me) - walk ins incur a $10 studio fee - pay per piece! Prices are on all the pieces The staff were all very helpful and patient as I brought my toddler and we went through SO MUCH brushes and water bowls since he started playing with the water after an hour All in all, great activity and I used a gift card my friends got me! read more

Overall, I had a good experience at Color Me Mine. It was perfect for someone like me who enjoys art, but isn't a painting or pottery expert. Prices were a little higher than I would have liked, but not out of the range of a Bay Area activity. The studio is a large, well-lit room, with tables individually set up to share cups, water, and brushes with people in your group. They also have a separate room for larger groups. The people who work here are wonderful. They were friendly, and helpful with instructions, paint selection, and providing ideas. I liked that I could come back multiple times to perfect my item, which was convenient. I came back on three separate occasions to finish painting and pick up my final product after they finished firing it. The main downside to Color Me Mine was the logistics. I was not able to visit an alternative Color Me Mine location to paint or fire up my finished product. I had to call the other locations to confirm this. Also, even though they mentioned they would text me when the firing was completed, I did not receive a text. I had to call a week after the drop-off to confirm. read more

Came in on a Sat at 2pm and there were plenty of tables available. The staff were very friendly and answered a million of our questions. We were there for 5 hours, but no one ever rushed us. Great experience! read more

We had a great time at CMM!! We went down last minute for a fun valentines activity and it worked great. You can't make reservations ahead of time unless you're a big group or private event, but there was plenty of room for us. We got to choose which clay piece we wanted to paint and they had a lot of variety! Several of us opted for plates that we plan to use in traditions with our future families. The staff were kind and helpful and were thoughtful when we accidentally broke something. Great spot, good fun, would refer. read more

Came on a Thursday at around 4PM and it was empty! It was really nice to have the whole space to ourselves. It was really relaxing and fun to paint for hours here with no one else! The workers here are super nice and friendly. They were always super helpful throughout the time we were there. I painted a skateboard and it was around $30 and the studio fee is $10 per person. I'm going to come back in a week to pick it back up. I would definitely come back to this location if I want to paint something again! read more

What a fun activity! I've always walked by Color Me Mine over the years as I shopped in the plaza, but never stopped inside. Last week, I decided to stop inside to inquire on the process since I wanted to do something fun with my husband. But honestly I think this place is good for not just dates, but maybe you + your child, a girlfriend group, your child's bday party... it's fun for everyone (I'm thinking a good min age is...5?) For just $10/person, you can paint whichever item you want (price varies by item).... And seemingly for an unlimited time (unless there is a reserved party, I'm guessing). I got a Starbucks-sized cup while my husband got this huge mug. It ended up costing us $90, but like I said, so many items to choose from that it can definitely be more affordable than our items. I must also confess that this is also my first time painting on pottery, and i had no idea it was fairly easy to erase your mistakes. Once you paint a coat, the paint dries pretty quickly, and then using a sponge + water to erase any mistakes was so fast and easy! Some good tips: -You can go there and reserve your item ahead of time, if you want) -Call ahead of time if you want to make sure there is availability. When I went on a Tuesday afternoon, we were the only ones there for a pretty long time -There are stencils and stamps! There are also these bottles with a thin needle-like end so that you can write something instead of painting the words. MUCH easier if you want to write. The associate actually changed the needle for me so that it was smaller, allowing it to look much, much better -Look online for some ideas of what you want to paint if you're someone who isn't inherently creative Your painted pottery will be done in roughly a week....so I'm super anxious and excited for what ours will look like as the end product! read more

Absolutely loved it! Bring out your inner Picasso! They have a ton of pottery to choose from The employees were helpful and friendly I picked up my work in less than a week Great overall experience! Highly recommend! read more

Color Me Mine - First time pottery painting - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Daly City, California

It has been many many years since I've been back here. I've been a few times when I was younger when they first opened. Coming in, I was surprised how busy it was! A full house for a mid-Saturday afternoon. It is the same as I remember. Lots of different ceramics to choose from and a variety of paint selections. The ladies working here are super friendly and attentive. We were here for almost 5 hours painting away :) Such a relaxing activity! Great location to grab a bite while you wait, or even before/after you are done. read more

Great place for entertainment. My son was so happy to paint the dog. I did some of my own too. read more

The staff was so sweet and helpful. Completely patient with the younger kids in my group. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. My only con was how pricey it was. Two kids and two smallish size pieces ended up being $70. So painting with a kid who doesn't take their time and mixes paints to just get brown isn't really worth it but if you're going with an age range that can be patient and take their time I'd recommend. Definitely fun for a date spot, they had an insane amount of ceramic options! read more

Color Me Mine - Star Wars stuff so cute - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Daly City, California

This Color Me Mine is a childhood spot of mine. I have always loved this spot so I am a little biased as I have been coming here since I was in third grade. Today I had revisited and had a bunch of fun! The process: If you have never been to Color Me Mine, you might get slightly confused as to what to do and when to do it or something like that. So this breaks down the steps (while it is still fresh in my head) 1. Walk in and if there is someone at the register/greeting table, they can explain the process in words. If not, take a look around the shop, paying attention to the different ceramics you could possibly paint on the left and right walls. (they are literally impossible to miss). 2. Choose your piece that you want to make. There should be a price tag at the back/bottom of the piece. There is a $10 per person cost called the "Studio" cost that covers you for the whole day to use their paint and eventually their kiln (well you won't be using but your masterpiece will be). 3. Once you have chosen, find a seat and sit. Someone should've approached you by now. They will provide you with a cup of water (to wash your brush) and a tile to put paint on. On the table should be a tile that has different paint colors and their corresponding colors. Choose your colors. Write the numbers on the tile with the sharpie they give (if they didn't give you one, they are located on the small table on the right side of the paints, towards the back). Note: Where things are: At the right side of the paints are pencils, sharpies, more paint tiles, and some other writing utensils. Underneath are stamps, stencils, and a bunch of other fun art supplies. Next to that are squeeze bottom paint, where you can use those to directly draw onto the piece or use for more accurate details. On the left of the paints is the brushes and beyond that is the sink followed by a bathroom next to it. 4. after you have decided what paint to use, go to where the paints are (towards the back, can't miss it), and squeeze it onto your plate! 5. Paint your piece! Don't forget to put your initials or some sort of letter identification at the bottom of your ceramic piece (easiest done with a squeeze bottle paint, NOT a sharpie as they will burn off) 6. Pay for it and pick it up in 6 days! Enjoy! read more

Color Me Mine - A cute guy - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Daly City, California

The staff were incredibly helpful and my kids loved the whole experience! After we finished our pieces, they were quick to finish the glazing and to alert us of its completion. I would highly recommend this place as a fun place to do something creative. read more

I came here (2/13/22) for the first time with a child I was babysitting. We had a fun time here. The two staff that were helping us were very attentive and patient with us. They took the time to explain how it works clearly, they checked on us every so often to ask if we needed any more paint colors. It was an awesome first time experience here and I would definitely come back. Now to the actual painting.. It was very therapeutic just painting the whole time but I got frustrated and impatient because it didn't turn out the way I would like and I'm a super amateur.. so towards the end I gave up and painted random colors. LOL! But I enjoyed it for the most part! It was a bit pricey.. but I'm not complaining because I didn't have to pay for it. The parent of the child gave us spending money.. but it would be cool if it was a pottery making place also.. just a thought.. read more

Color Me Mine - Who would've thought painting would be so therapeutic! - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Daly City, California

its really fun here. I came with a group of 4. We had reservations. The workers arae nice and kind. There are many different things to choose from that you can color and call yours. The prices are definetly a bit on the high side and it gets overwelming when your time is running out but other than that, the experiecne was fun. I would recommend coming here for a fun little date read more

Fun activity to do with friends and family. Located in Daly City's westlake plaza. It's on the main road, so a little hard to find parking since the Trader Joe's lot is always busy. Staff are very nice and helpful. I went with one other person. There is a flat rate fee (I think about $9) for the studio fee. Each ceramic has different prices. Honestly the prices aren't bad since they basically do all the ceramic work for you if you don't have the means to do it in your own. You can choose anywhere from plates/containers to figurines. Your ceramic will be available in about a week. Also, if for whatever reason you don't finish, they offer to wrap it for you so you can finish on another day! read more

Fantastic place with the kindest people. They were so welcoming and kind to our kids (and the groups). It is extremely challenging to work with small kids and their parents and the staff is magically patient about everything. Thanks for a wonderful time. read more

My son love this place! I visited during their anniversary I got 30% off. I ended up painting a lot I would be definitely back for more soon. I'm so happy to see many people are back open normally, this place was so packed but very friendly service. read more

We enjoy our projects here! I've visited color me mine 3x already. All the staff are welcoming and fun

Litterally had no open seats! Fix something then like make a limited painting time or add extra seats or allow reservations! Used to be a great place but is really going down hill! read more

Came here for the first time with my sister and BF. We had an enjoyable visit. We went on a Saturday night and all decided to paint cups. 3 hours was definitely not enough time to finish a piece of you are deciding to paint something elaborate or a somewhat detailed picture. I would recommend having a idea of what you want to paint before going in to save time since there is a studio fee. SERVICE: most of the employees were friendly and helpful. However, I think they should have their employees explain to first timers about the process and the fees. We were just told to pick a piece we wanted to paint and write the color numbers on the palette. They should also info newbies about: - the first time $10 fee and follow visit fees - the paint stations is a help yourself area with many resources to make your piece look great - the paints when fire will be darker Although my Bf and I didn't a problem looking for a piece we both wanted to paint, my sister did. It would be nice if they had more items to choose from or more in stock especially on the weekends. AMBIANCE: Clean and pretty spacious. They have mostly tables for parties of 4 and a large table. In addition, there is a room for private parties. There is also a bathroom in house and they play music :) Overall, I don't see myself coming often since it is so pricey. Maybe only for special occasions or an event. read more

Color Me Mine - Before firing (top) After firing (bottom) - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Daly City, California

The activity was fun, but the customer service was terrible. I approached the counter to ask about the reservation for my niece and the young lady had an unprofessional tone that expressed annoyance and lack of customer service training. I consider myself very polite and respectful but I will match your tone just like anyone else who feels disrespected. I won't go into details about this young lady but I would love for managers/owners to train their staff especially if they're young on how you're supposed to talk to customers. All policies and business rules must be shared with all the staff so that when someone calls or asks a question they repeat the same thing and you avoid misunderstandings. This place does not take reservations and they do not offer to accommodate your group or recommend adding you to a waitlist, at least it wasn't offered to me. I do not see myself coming to this business again. I would prefer to drive to Sunnyvale's Color Me Mine where the service and the staff are welcoming, helpful, professional, and polite. read more

Looking for Fun things to do?? Why not try personalizing your own ceramics? My bf and I had so much fun.

I've been going to Color Me Mine almost every year with my friends. It's a fun project and get together for us especially since we came here when we were younger. First thing is that no, this isn't a cheap project to do. It'll run you at the very least around $20 to paint something decent and $30-50 for something bigger. You pay for what you want to paint and there's a $10 studio fee per day; meaning if you don't finish your piece and come back another day then that's another $10. The $10 is for the paints, paintbrushes, equipment, the glaze, and firing your piece. If money is your main issue for not giving this place a chance then get deals either here on yelp or on Groupon. They usually have good deals around the end of the year so keep your eyes peeled. Although it can be relaxing (and it is) most of the time I have an inner turmoil as to what to paint and how to go about it. Brainstorming takes probably the first hour while probably 3-7hrs for the actual painting but that's just me. Nevertheless, it's a good idea to come here early and maybe think of what to do before arriving. After you're done painting, you pick up your piece about 5-6 days later. It always put a smile on my face to see my finished piece. Be prepared to use your piece too much (if its dining ware) obsessively for the first week or two since that's how it is with me. read more

Staff was so attentive and helpful. Our family reunion had a great time in the party room. Our youngest (3 years old) was so focused the entire 2 hours and even grandpa and grandma got really into it. I suggest checking out some of the technique videos online beforehand to get kids (and adults!) excited about it and ideas flowing. We tried the bubble technique, splatter, sponging, stenciling, and tape. Led to some really creative pieces! For the service we got, the price was totally worth it - a value compared to other kids party places. We had such a blast! read more
