Why ceramic cafés are so popular - And where to go in Rotterdam

Why a ceramic café is the perfect activity

A ceramic café combines creativity, relaxation, and cosiness. You don’t need any experience to join in – it’s all about the process! With a good cup of coffee or matcha by your side, you pick a piece of ceramic, choose your colours, and let your imagination run free. It’s easy to get into, mindful, and you go home with something completely unique. You can work at your own pace, making it a perfect way to unwind and clear your head for an afternoon (or evening).
