This is the absolute worst experience I've had attempting to make pottery. The instructor spent an hour demonstrating how she makes pottery and then basically said go for it. As a complete novice, I was totally lost. I tried multiple times on my own but no luck. I asked for help multiple times and got general advice. I was the ONLY one that couldn't make anything, yet the instructor didn't seem to either notice or to care. I eventually looked up my own video on how to do this and still wasn't able to. The instructor said she would be happy to help one on one, yet I was the was one who clearly needed help, she was and just made her own pottery. I feel demoralized and humiliated. I left this experience in tears. read more

Pip Coffee + Clay is one of the most unique coffee shops I've visited in Phoenix. The space is bright, welcoming, and filled with local art, handmade ceramics, and fun little details that make you want to slow down and look around. Every corner feels thoughtfully designed, from the colorful seating to the vintage decor and handmade pottery available for purchase. I ordered the iced chai, and it was perfectly balanced with great spice flavor without being overly sweet. We also tried the matcha, which was smooth, creamy, and beautifully layered. The drinks were made quickly and looked just as good as they tasted. Beyond the coffee, this is an amazing place to support local artists. They had handcrafted mugs, planters, pottery, ceramics, cross-stitch kits, and other gifts throughout the shop. The atmosphere is quiet enough to work, catch up with friends, or simply relax with a drink. There are plenty of tables, large windows with natural light, and comfortable seating throughout. The staff was friendly, and the entire café was clean and inviting. Parking was easy, and I appreciated how much personality the space has compared to a typical coffee chain. If you're looking for a local coffee shop in Phoenix with excellent coffee, matcha, chai, unique gifts, handmade pottery, and a cozy creative atmosphere, Pip Coffee + Clay is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely be back. read more

Had my birthday celebration here! I reserved 9 spots for me and my friends for beginners wheel throwing class for $60pp and it was SO FUN!!! SO WORTH IT!!! We had the best instructor Steve. He was so friendly and an amazing teacher. Most of my friends had never taken a class before so it was fun to see them work and be creative! There's a nice little cafe where you can order drinks and there's so many cute things you can purchase in the shop as well. Overall such a fun thing to do with friends and family if you like pottery. Also when I picked up all our ceramic pieces the barista was so nice in assisting me! All the pieces turned out beautiful. I love taking classes at pip definitely a must try if you haven't done wheel throwing yet (: read more

This little coffee house is located on busy N. 24th street, just down from our office so some of came here to have our little holiday get-together. We took over one of the larger tables; the entire eating area is small but calming and cozy. They have art studios attached and it was interesting to walk back and see the different rooms; most with some sort of pottery (hence the "clay"). They have lots of finished clay products on display and some were so creative! I ordered a cold brew with some cream and it was so good. I love a strong, cold coffee and this was perfect! I also ordered avocado toast which I made modifications to and only wanted some of the crispy onions on top, which I then ended up taking off. Food isn't their priority, although they do offer a limited selection of breakfast burritos, toasts, etc. Everyone was nice and friendly and overall it was a nice morning! read more

This place had a nice calming vibe. Everyone was chill even the other guests who attended. There are Cute little trinkets, and fun stickers to purchase. They also serve some healthy treats, cookies, and drinks. I tried a drink called the first date, (love the name). This drink was refreshing and bubbly. A simple mix of cold matcha tea and lemonade splashes. Now, I have to brag about the poetry classes they offer here. We took the class that Henry teaches. Henry did a great job explaining how to create our clay designs today. Thank you Henry, for making the class run so smoothly. Even when I almost messed up my clay, Henry was patient and helpful with all of us. Thanks again Henry read more

My husband and I received a gift card for a beginner session here. What a fun time! The instructor was really helpful and sweet. The class had about 10 people and we each had our own space to work in. There is a coffee bar when you come in so you can grab a beverage before class starts. Don't wear anything you don't want to get dirty and don't be afraid to fail a time or two. There is plenty of time to throw multiple piece while there. You get to choose your favorite pieces at the end of class. Can't wait to pick them up in about 3 weeks!! read more

I went in thinking I could get a Taro latte because for some reason it said they had it there in google and was a bit disappointed they did not sell it there. The shop itself looks nice, good place to relax and possibly study, not a lot of traffic, beautiful art. The matcha I got was not to my liking. It was a bit, bland. Maybe it was the flavor I got because I couldn't really taste the flavor. I got a vanilla matcha for my friend as well and she said it was okay. read more

Very charming and eclectic coffee shop. Also, amazing rose pistachio chai! It was perfect. They also teach classes, mainly pottery. Might have to take a class. Who doesn't like pottery? Excellent service. read more

I had so much fun taking a class at PIP! My instructor did a great job walking us all through the steps of centering, opening, and shaping. She also offered to center for us or talk us through it which I thought was great. I've taken a wheel throwing class before where I kept getting frustrated at my lack of ability to center so her offering to center for us was much appreciated. I liked the workshop feel of the class after the open instruction, we were free to play around with the clay and start over if we messed up. Last, we picked 2 pieces to keep and chose our glaze colors. I can't wait to see how my pieces turn out! I hope to come back for another class in the future. read more

One of the most fun activities I've done in Phoenix! The studio is super cute and artsy and smells like amazing coffee. I took the beginners class with the wheel throwing machine or whatever it's called. The process, studio, and tools etc were all super organized. The instructor explained how to do it for about a half an hour, then we got to create pottery from straight up clay on our own! There are 3 glaze colors to choose from: brown, black and white. Wear pants and shoes you don't mind getting wet clay all over when it flings out of the wheel! It came off in the washing machine tho :) read more

I drive by this coffee shop almost daily on my way to work. I finally decided to stop and get some coffee. The shop is really cute. It has a few items for sale like aprons, candies, mugs. They also have pastries and a few breakfast options. The young lady was very friendly and cheerful. I ordered the bumblebee latte which I enjoyed. I definitely will be returning to try the rose pistachio latte. If you want some good coffee you should try Pip. read more

This is my second time visiting @pipcoffeeclay in Phoenix. I brought a group with me and this is their first time experiencing this ultra-friendly and down-to-earth café and clay throwing and sculpting studio, that also serves cocktails, bagels, burritos and more. The food is high-quality with a lot of house made items in the café at the front of the establishment. There are also clay items for purchase, as well as some other fun gifts to shop through. At the back of the building, there is a clay studio with large windows to let the sunlight in and an upstairs area for clay sculpting that also brings in a lot of natural light. We decided to come in and take the Beginners Wheel Throwing class for only $55 each. This includes 10 balls of clay, two creations of your choosing to be fired and glazed, and an instructor taking you through the steps and walking around helping you if you need additional support. All equipment, wheels and tools are included. The class lasts for two hours of clay throwing and the last half hour is cleanup and choosing your glaze. This gives you a total of 2 1/2 hours. I think this is a bargain for the class that they are offering. My crew and I were celebrating our girls' birthday and enjoyed some lattes and bagels before and after our wheel throwing class with Elena, who is an excellent and patient instructor. She said our entire group was extremely chill because nobody was yelling or cussing as our creations got demolished on our wheel - Haha Namaste Clay Ommmm We get to pick up our creations in three weeks after they have been fired and glazed twice. I chose a yellow glaze for my two bowls. My girls, guest and hubs chose black, clear, and yellow. There was also a pink glaze available on this day. I will post how they turned out when we pick them up! You just come into the café and give them your name or go back and pick up your pieces and they're ready. We'd like to try the clay sculpting classes next. The instructor said this is very different from wheel throwing and you do not need to have any experience for this as well. read more

This place is super cute and fun. My friend and I decided to sign up for one of their ceramics class and we both enjoyed it. Booking online was easy and fast. The day of the class finally came and we arrived right when it was about to start. It was a full class and there were about 14 or so of us? All the seats and wheels were taken. The instructor was very friendly and helpful. Me and ceramics have never gotten along and for some reason I can't comprehend how I am supposed to make something out of wet clay and this spinning wheel... nonetheless I was struggling. I asked for help and she quickly came over and got me back on track without making me feel dumb. She showed me how to and I was finally able to make a bowl. We picked up our pieces about a month after our class date and I was very happy on how they turned out. The colors that I chose are sooooo pretty! Pickup day, we bought ourselves some coffee and they were really good. Service was great. Parking can be a struggle so we parked at the building in front and walked a little. You get to keep two pieces from your session! Can't wait to book another class soon! read more

PIP Coffee + Clay + Hayley = Pure bliss I've fallen in love with pottery this past year, so I was beyond excited to explore this pottery / coffee shop hybrid in Phoenix. This storefront is absolutely to-die-for. There's a coffee shop in the front and a party in the back.. aka a room filled with pottery wheels. While PIP is known for their caffeinated beverages and baked goods, they also sell pottery supplies, hand crafted pieces, and stationary items. I was really excited to see that they sold the famous Gloop glaze, which goes hand-in-hand with Seth Rogan's artistic style. As for coffee, I ordered the Garden Greens Latte and was also able to sample their chai latte. Both beverages were extraordinary and gone too fast. I wish I bought two. PIP offers pottery classes, with options for beginners and advanced throwers. They also have hand build classes to make unique items like pet bowls, plant pots, and even bongs. Highly recommend checking out their website and starting your pottery journey. read more

I had such a great experience in the beginners wheel class I took. It was much harder than I expected but the instructor was a great support during the class. The class time does give you adequate time to get used to the wheel and to make your pieces. You're also able to bring in your food or drinks you've purchased at the front into the studio. Overall it was such a fun time and I'm planning to come back for some more practice! read more

We got coffee before the class and the iced latte with vanilla syrup with oat milk was some of the best coffee I've gotten in a while! When the staff heard we were celebrating our friends birthday they offered us a free treat, very thoughtful. Very chill relaxing space in the front, with walls covered in local small business art. read more

10000% recommend this place. We signed up for the pottery class and got there an hour early. Enjoyed some beverages and a couple of board games in the adorable little coffee shop. We also bought a couple of stickers and trinkets. Then we made our way back to the class area which is a big open warehouse type space - had lots of natural light -- loved the vibe! They walk you through the instructions and demonstrate the process. Our instructor was Bennett and he was fantastic! Very informational, funny, engaging and genuine. Had a great date night with my daughter and hope to book more classes with the hubs. Might recreate the scene from Ghost. Who knows?! read more

Great lattes and natural wines (not quite sure what that means, but seems cool haha). I've taken some fun art workshops here - pottery, clay jewelry, and pet portrait painting! I love this unique business concept, and the class instructors have all been wonderful. I think they serve Bagelfelds bagels here too, which are the best bagels in town! This place does seem to struggle with disorganization in class scheduling, pottery pickup, and cafe service. I've had a number of small issues here, but if you can look past their imperfections, it's really an awesome place! I do wish they had a changing table in their bathroom - there was no place to change my baby's diaper :/ read more

I like this spot! This is a cozy little coffee shop/ceramic studio located on 24th street. There's some parking is available in the private lot next to the shop. You can find some window and table seating indoors, and there's plenty of natural sunlight that comes through the windows. There's also free wifi and bathrooms available if you want to stay and get some work done. There are also a variety of goods for sale (ceramics and non-ceramics) that are available on the shelves and at the checkout counter, which is nice if you like to support local artists. I got a matcha oat latte with honey, and it came out very quickly. I liked my drink! The matcha flavor was strong, smooth, and not too bitter. If I happen to be in the area, I'd love to stop by again and try some of their other drinks (and maybe take a ceramics class!). read more

The beginners pottery class is a fun way to spend your evening and the price was very reasonable, especially when you get to take home two pieces! That being said, the instructor I took the class with wasn't very helpful, and whenever my friends or I asked for advice on what to do, he reached over and made the pot for us. We left the class barely touching our two finished pieces. At the end of the day, my friends and I decided it was more worth our $60 to get the two pieces we barely touched instead of going home with a wonky looking plate that we spent the whole 2 hours trying to make. What was more frustrating was the fact that the instructor failed to warn us how much the kiln would shrink our pieces. My friends and I all had mugs that turned into little espresso cups, and plates that turned into jewelry dishes. So now for $60 I got a teacup that I didn't even touch. But at least the experience was fun!! read more

Makes for a fun couple of hours if you're looking for an activity to do on date night or looking to give a gift certificate to someone. My husband and I did their 1:30 class with Rachel and it was a fun time. We tried something new and made two items each. They take three weeks to get ready and then you have some new bowls or cups at home! My only piece of feedback is that there was more options for glaze colors. Otherwise, everything was great. The cafe up front is pretty convenient. We had the pumpkin pop tart and it was good! read more

My friend gifted me a clay molding class for my birthday and I had a blast. The instructor was super pleasant and chill, you can just tell that she enjoys teaching others. I am excited to pick up the pieces that I made in a couple of weeks. I enjoyed an iced matcha while I was there which was pretty good. I'm looking forward to returning to hang out in the coffee area to put my head down and get some work done. The seating arrangements could be a bit cozier. read more

Came here for an introduction hand building class to make casserole dishes with my girlfriend. Class started promptly on time and if you get there early it doubles as a cafe. So we got there early and chilled and grabbed a drink. I opted for a seasonal drink called the bumble bee it was a lavender and honey latte. Very good complex flavors. The honey was so good in it and a hint of lavender went a long way. Drink was about $7 and you can take it upstairs to the class while you're building. Our teacher was Danny (hope I'm spelling that right) great teacher. Very non judgmental and encouraging which is what I needed considering I was doing poorly. They let you do what you want and don't interject unless you ask or if you need help. If you're shy to ask for help they do go around and did a great job of checking in. 2 and a half hours to build 1 or 2 objects using clay and then paint. Very easy instructions with a great teacher made for a very fun time. read more

Went to PIP Coffee + Clay for a weekend date recently! It was such a blast. To start, the main coffee area has tons of cute shop items, ceramic projects and trinkets for sale. Seating is relatively limited and did fill up fast, but they have tables and chairs throughout the space. As you progress through the building your led to the clay or pottery wheel room where they have about 20 or so wheels available. My husband and I signed up for the beginners pottery wheel class. They had our names written out to mark our spots and the instructor was absolutely amazing and so helpful. Pottery wheels are no joke! You're able to make as many projects as you want but are only allowed to keep or fire two. From there you pick you paint colors and pick up in about a week or two. The whole experience was awesome. In addition to coffee, you're also able to get light snacks or sandwiches from their menu along with beer or spritzer cocktails you can enjoy during the class! The offer many other classes for all levels, so it's work exploring if you're interested or already have a base to work with. Definitely will visit again! read more

My review is solely on their pottery class. As someone with no knowledge of how to do pottery, the instructors certainly taught me well. By the end of the class I had two pretty cute creations (one of them became my little guac bowl). This place is fun for any sort of occasion. I know the cafe is probably just as good. Just be sure to wear clothing you are okay with getting dirty because as you'll see in my photos...things got very messy quickly. read more

I'm a super happy customer of PIP's cafe side! Very cute cafe with delicious drinks and a celebration of local arts. I first came with a friend during PIP's one year anniversary event and got a Seth Rohan (matcha with coconut water, lime, and pineapple). I fell in love at first sip! I eventually came back to study here and ordered the New Horizons matcha latte (a peach matcha latte that came in the Animal Crossing Lloid mug - so cute!). The ambiance here feels like the cute, bright, artsy cafe vibe; and in between study breaks, you can admire all of the crafts (mugs, jewelry, plates, planters, + more) sold in the store that were created by local artisans. This is definitely a spot to keep on your list. Can't wait to try out some throwing classes and other crafting workshops next! read more
