We had such a great time at color me mine in South Miami. This year we made a summer bucket list and ceramics was on the list. So glad I found that this location is still open. I called ahead because we are a family of 6. I was able to reserve a spot same day! The staff so so nice and helpful. I highly recommend going. They have so many different items that can be painted. AND so many colors and techniques you can try. High recommend going as a family, friend group, or date night!!! read more

I had a lovely time there, staff was friendly, place was clean, and my finished tray was ready on time. I went home, put it aside for a few days and when I finally get around to displaying it I notice these huge cracks in the glaze. I was confused, because it looked totally fine when I got it in the store, and I stored it indoors directly after taking it home. No extreme heat or sunlight or anything. I'm sure this is not from anything I did, because it is not a crack all the way through the piece and solely on the glaze. When I flipped it around I noticed MAJOR cracking on the bottom, as well as a ton of bubbles. As someone who's done ceramics (and consulted a few friends who've also done ceramics) this only happens because of improper glazing. I'm genuinely so upset. This was supposed to be a birthday present for myself. I tend to not blame people, because mistakes happen. But it seems the staff was either uncaring or not trained properly for the glazing/firing. My two friends did not have this problem, but unless you're willing to take the risk I wouldn't recommend coming here. This also makes me not want to visit the new one thats opening near me. read more

My sisters came from out of state to visit and decided to visit color me mine because of their passion for art. I had an emergency trip out of the state by the time the pottery was ready and wasn't able to pick it up for an estimated time of 3 months. I called when I got back today because my sisters have been asking about it and they said they only keep it for a month. And that they did not have our 3 pieces. No resolution whatsoever. I asked if credit was at least an option. Basically just wasted my money. If I would've known this I would've had someone pick it up for me instead of thinking it would be secure there. Terrible customer service and experience. Do not come here if you are out of state. read more

I ordered 2 Cuban/Espresso coffee cups with the Cuban flag on it. On several occasions while being there they kept telling me not to worry that it was on a post-it note & they would let me know that they had received them. And, once again, I was offered two plain espresso cups WITHOUT the Cuban flag. read more

somewhat limited selection of forms to paint, but the space is bright and the staff welcoming (I asked and was told they get new deliveries regularly; we must have come in right before a new shipment). we had a nice time painting, and I saw groups of friends and families enjoying themselves too. it's a fun, rewarding activity for a hot day in South Miam! read more

it was a very nice experience, the attendees where always nice and helpful, there was a good amount and variety of materials, the space is comfortable. read more

Came here for the first time the other night and it was such a fun experience! This place is for anyone of any age too! You choose any ceramic you want. The smaller the ceramic, the cheaper. The larger the ceramic, the more pricy it is. There is a good amount of ceramic pieces to choose from, I just wish there were a bit more. After you choose your ceramic piece, you fill out a form of which colors you'd like to start off with. You start with 5 colors, but it's okay to choose more or less. We had about 2.5 hours to paint our pieces, which was a good amount of time. But if you choose a more detailed piece to paint, then it may take longer. Choose wisely but have fun! After you finish painting, you leave your piece there to dry and they finish it off by putting it in the oven and leaving it with a nice, shiny gloss! In a week, the pieces are all set to pick up! Overall, I had a great experience and would like to come here again. The environment was nice, there was music playing in the background, and the employees were very sweet and patient with us! read more

i called again 3 days later after they said they would call me at 3pm on friday. never got a call back and this time a lady on the phone said she had the tracking number and that she'll text it to my phone number. i asked her to give it to me over the phone and she had every excuse in the world and she put me on hold then hung up. i tried to call back but they blocked my number. i called from another phone and they game me a tracking number that didn't exist and didn't answer why they blocked my number. worst experience ever! if i could rate this a negative 10 i would. read more

The workers here are horrible. They lost our artwork and were completely unapologetic and rude about it. If you do like where you work THEN YOU SHOULDN'T WORK THERE. I recommend you take your money elsewhere. This place is too overpriced for their service to be so horribly disgusting read more

I have been a customer of this color me mine for years. Today I came in to celebrate my little cousins birthday. I had the WORST customer service experience with the store manager, Candy. We came with a large group of adults with kids and she demanded that only one adult could stay inside with our kids. I hope the owners of this franchise know that they lost a whole bunch of business due to the fact that their general manager was extremely rude and unaccommodating towards our large group that would have paid EXTRA! to stay with our kids. The staff needs a definite attitude adjustment and a hard lesson of understanding that the customer is always right. Shame on you color me mine for allowing such behavior in your store. I hope that you read this and let your staff know that you will not put up with this kind of behavior. I will NEVER return to this location again. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

This is the place to go if you are in the mood for disappointment. I came here with my boyfriend about 2 weeks ago for a cute date to make matching pieces. We leave our work there to be glazed, and try to contain our excitement for the week that it would take to be ready. Upon finally picking it up, we open ours together and to my surprise, my mug has disgusting bubbles all around it, ruining my design that I spent hours on, random pink spots even though the only colors we used were purple and green, and a disgusting ceramic feeling all around the mug like an unfinished piece. We then bring it to the workers attention, and they offer to reglaze the piece to see if it would fix the mistakes that they made. After the second glaze, the piece is even worse, the worker even telling me so herself, and only offering that I come by and repaint the mug that I had spent an hour on. And then upon speaking with the manager, was basically yelled at by a nervous man who knew no customer service, when he asked "What was my problem" after not liking a mug that they ruined. Save your money and your time as this establishment has no clue what they're doing. read more

This is an expensive hobby. The only reason I came here was because I found a groupon (pay $16 for $30 of goods/services). This is my 3rd experience at the Color Me Mine franchise. The last time was in 2007, and prior to that when I was 10 yo when a relative treated me to the experience. I love the whole paint-your-own pottery thing but the cost definitely keeps me from doing this as often as I'd like. I made a reservation and had a table waiting for me when I showed up. There were walk-ins, but if you have a large party or know for sure you want to paint, I would suggest making a reservation. This is definitely a spot for kids and families. I was not satisfied with the pottery selection. The items were kitchenware (plates and cups) or large figurines. Not to mention all the pieces were $20+++. What happened to all the single digit priced items? The cheapest thing I saw was a small grenade looking bowl that was marked down to $6. I was really looking forward to painting a coaster (for hot dishes) but they didn't even sell the most basic tile ceramic. Ok, I take it back, they did have tiles for $9 but you could only use them for the glass crafts. It was a struggle to pick something I was interested to paint and eventually settled on a $24 bowl. We'll see how it turns out post glaze. In summary: + polite service + unsatisfied with pottery selection (they said it changes weekly) + expensive + pay for parking in the structure. This place does Not validate. I will probably do this again, in another 5-10 years. I will def look for a groupon beforehand. EDIT: Just picked up my piece. So sad there's a smudge on it. read more

I visited this location on 3/12/2023 I painted a ceramic I was told that it takes 7 days to cure. I payed shipping to be sent to NY. It is now 3 weeks and I have not received anything. I been calling and no one seems to be able to help me. One person told he was going to check and call me back a over a week now and nothing. I cannot leave messages and when texting no response. Very disappointed with the customer service. This is bad business. I paid for a service and feel that I'm being ignored. On 4/6 I finally got a message saying that the item has been shipped on that date today is 4/17 and I have yet to receive the package. This has been a terrible experience, I don't know how can someone run a business with this lack of professionalism. Very disappointed. read more

Went here as a first date and it was absolutely fabulous! It was the cutest idea to have a first date in, the environment is so relaxed and interactive. The employees are welcoming and informative. They let you do your thing and give you your space. They have a wide variety of selections to choose from. From cups to plates to jewelry cases and Disney characters! Great for kids, teens, adults, first dates, girls night out, bonding time, anything you can think of! After we finished our paintings, I had to wait about a week to pick up our crafts from bring glossed. Definitely had a great time with Color Me Mine! read more

What a wonderful experience! Walking into the place I was filled excitement. The staff was super sweet and very helpful. Emely R. was super helpful and answered all my questions with a smile and helped me correct any mistake that I made. She truly does love her job! Hopefully when I go back to picK it up she is there !! They offer so much! Anyone can come and enjoy from old to new. I definitely will be back! The prices are a little too over priced but if you had the cash go head first into this wonderful hobby ! read more

This is a place where you paint your own ceramic piece, and then it gets baked to make the colors shiny and long-lasting. (Sorry, I don't know the technical words). Its in Sunset place, but its never too crowded so that's good. I'm giving in a three because its INCREDIBLY OVERPRICED! The cheapest thing is a regular sized coaster for $18! Yes, the pieces are to die for. But this isn't an everyday thing. I'd be as drastic as saying, just go for a special occasion. I wanted to get my sister something super special for her birthday so I bought a fat little chef cookie jar. It was about 10 inches tall and cost me $40 dollars. Each piece, regardless of size, comes with 5 refillable colors. They have plenty to chose from but I chose the primaries, black and peach(because I was making a Caucasian chef). There is also a sitting fee??!! The staff was helpful and the place was very clean and tidy. Your piece gets baked after you leave. You have to come back another day. After my piece was ready, the staff held it for a long time because I didn't have time to swing by the mall. This was fun but its such a shame that they overcharge so much. It makes it impossible to revisit as often as one would like. So basically, if you like art and you have $$ then knock yourself out. If you like art and you're broke, go on a special occasion. read more

This is my first yelp review,and I'm happy to say that it's a positive one! I've gone to color me mine at this location three times,and I love how informative the staff is with the materials they have. I've called in to ask questions on some things I am curious about like their parties.They have always been helpful.They offer loads of paints to choose from as well as ceramics.My pieces always came out expected especially with glaze they put on it to make them shine! I can't wait to go back with my friends! :D read more

Fun way to entertain the kids and let their creative side show. Many pieces to chose from and a variety of prices. Makes it easy for everyone to participate. It's a relaxing environment. Pick your piece, paint it, and come back a week later to pick it up. They'll even ship it for you. They should have a separate section for younger kids. It got annoying hearing kids have tantrums, running around, and crying LOUD! read more

I brought my granddaughter to this place because it was highly recommended by a friend. It was actually a very good experience for granddaughter, and we were looking forward to seeing her finished piece after it was glazed. Because we traveled quite a way to get to the South Miami location, I was told that rather than coming back, I could pay to have it delivered - which I did. It has been almost 6 weeks since our visit, and I have not received the glazed pottery piece. I have called almost on a daily basis, and the phone voice mailbox is usually full, and taking no messages. So when I was able to get through a couple of times I left a message, and no one has returned my phone calls. I've called the store during business hours and managed to get through a couple of times to the workers in the store. They promised to check with "the lady that does their mailings" And get back to me. As usual, I received no return phone calls. I then resorted to sending an email to: colormemine@colormemine.com, and even included photos that I took during our visit. I received one response asking me which location I visited; but I never heard from anyone again. The last time I called, they promised to have a "Felicity" call me back. It has been three days, and I am still waiting for the call. It is unfortunate that I'm having this experience, because myGranddaughter actually enjoyed the visit very much. It is word of mouth that can make or break a business, so I am hopeful they don't want to get a reputation of not following through with their customers.... read more

Brought my son in on a rainy Saturday. He enjoyed it quite a bit. Echoed by by others, it's a bit pricey. It was something different to do and I may do it again for girls night. Staff was very friendly. Can't wait to pick up our masterpieces. read more

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!! I went with some friends to Color Me Mine a couple of weeks ago. The location is great and parking is just next to the store! The studio has lots of tables, chairs, decoration and tools to help you get creative and inspired. They have hundreds and hundreds of ceramic pieces to choose from and you can take as much as time as you need to do so, there is absolutely no pressure. Staff was fantastic! They helped us through the entire process and even took the time to teach us how to use all of the different brushes they have in order to add texture and effects. They called me as soon as my piece was ready (one week before it was supposed to!!!!) - I'm definitely coming back soon, really soon! read more

What a fun little way to spend a weeknight or a rainy weekend afternoon! Went here for a work function earlier this week and had a great time. The workers were very attentive and kind and set up the tables very nicely for our event. For those of you that don't know, Color Me Mine allows you to select your own piece of pottery/clay figurine to paint and decorate. The store then glazes the pottery for you and calls you to pick it up once the glazing process is complete. Be forewarned - you WILL actually paint these pieces yourself, and there is no paint by number. I will say that even though the staff was attentive, they did not provide instruction as to HOW to paint the items. I saw a lot of tools in front of me (sponges, brushes, water, etc.), but wasn't really sure how to use them properly since there was no explanation. Resulted to channeling my 5 year-old self and just painting haphazardly onto my espresso cup. Haven't gotten my cup back yet, but for those of you who have seen my kindergarten art before -- please pray for me. Overall it is a very fun atmosphere and something I would definitely recommend for a work or school function; the painting is easy enough that even children (probably 8+) could participate. As we went with a corporate event, I am not sure of the pricing; however, based on what I've heard from others, some of the pieces can be a bit pricey. Would definitely recommend this as something everyone should try once! read more

This review is long overdue! We moved here in February and we have now been here over 12 times. David and Sandra are both AMAZING and take wonderful care of my 7-year old daughter and me! They offer great painting tips and make us feel so welcome. We tried one of the kids classes too and that was fabulous as well. I can't say enough good things about this place. Basically, you go and pick out your piece and pick out your colors. The tables are set up with all different shapes and sizes of paintbrushes and a couple of sponges. There is also a rack full of different tools and stamps to choose from. David has taught us how to make the perfect polka dots, flowers, and eye balls. You get the best colors after firing if you put on a couple of coats. The paint dries quickly so it does not take long. After you are done painting, you leave the piece for a couple of days so they can fire it. Our pieces have always been done in less than one week except for a specialty piece that my daughter created during a kids class and that took less than two weeks. There are so many pieces to choose from and they are always getting new ones.My daughter is already planning her 8th birthday to be here. This week we started painting our Christmas presents! Today we did a plate with my daughter's handprint, polka dots and writing. Both David and Sandra were on hand to help get the perfect handprint and ensure we had all the tools we needed. They won't actually paint on your pieces, but you have a paper table cloth to practice their tips on before actually painting. And if you make a mistake, it is very easy to fix. This is a great place for mommy/daughter or daddy/daughter bonding time. We have seen little boys loving it too. It is also great for my daughter to paint while I catch up with a friend. And it is PERFECT for a rainy day! It makes people have joy inside. (My daughter just had to add that last piece of important information!) read more

My daughters and I had a great time at Color Me Mine! The staff is friendly and took the time to explain the process and provided suggestions on paint colors and ceramic pieces. The pieces turned out great! It's pricey, but fun. Only downside is that once you paint the pieces, you have to come back in a week to pick them up. That's inconvenient considering I live in Homestead and this location is in Sunset. Regardless, my kids and I enjoyed it (especially my 7 year old who wants to have her birthday party here). read more

Awesome store. Had a great time! The store is beautiful and they have a great staff, reasonable prices, a wide selection, the store is very clean and organized. Definitely recommend to go with a date or with the family. You can bring food and wine into the store, which I think is really cool. Painting is fun/easy and they pieces look really nice after they are baked and ready. read more

This place was absolutely amazing! Excellent service, the staff was incredibly helpful and nice. Might be a little pricey but the experience for a first timer is what brought joy to my family. Will return for many more beautiful artworks! read more

My daughters, ages 4 & 7 love to go here. The employees are always nice and helpful. They have a good selection of pottery to pick from. I do find it pricy so I typically wait for a groupon before we go. Overall it's a nice place to spend a couple hours inside on rainy or hot summer days read more

I went there last week with my 1.5 year-old daughter. We had a really great time and she really enjoyed it. However, for the price, it was quite a short activity. This, I'm sure, is largely due to her age. It is better for older children. After 5 minutes of glazing a mug she was done. So we then proceeded to decorate the paper on the table with glazes as a "added bonus". But still, even with this, it was a fairly short activity given the price. I'll be back but will definitely wait a bit before doing so. read more

I came here last Saturday with my little cousin and we had an amazing time! The location is prefect honestly never crowded not compared to some of their other locations. Yes it is a bit overall priced but worth it to at least do it once in a while. I love the options of being able to pick your own piece and have refillable colors to choice from and they have a several colors to choose from. I can't to pick up my pieces next week to see how they come out! I'm sure it will be wonderful! read more
