Never expected that we could have this arty crafty cafe in the midst of Motor City! The concept of the cafe is really interesting where the kids can enjoy the painting while the parents enjoy some coffee. I tried mango smoothie and it was mouth watering!

It was great to hangout for a few hours and be a bit more creative than normal. The service was excellent and really appreciated the staffs work and attention. The food was fine, but the cafe didn't have fruit or much or anything to provide that I'd expect a cafe to have, however, staff worked hard to make it good just the same. Atmosphere was nice, mix of families and couples like us. I really liked that father's were there with their kids for some time together.

Think it's a brilliant idea to combine art activity with cafe and snack. But beats me as to why they would charge such a premium on the art activity. If it was more affordable, it would automatically increase visits and encourage repeat visits as well. Going by the occupancy during my visit, they clearly weren't sold out. That said, the ceramic activity was fun, and the outcome was very good. Will we visit again? No.

This morning we hosted a school mum's morning at Step Up Cafe, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly accommodating with our requests, making the entire event run smoothly. The food was good, with a selection that pleased everyone. The service was outstanding, and a special mention must go to Janina. She was incredibly helpful, guiding us through the pottery painting process with patience and positivity. Her encouraging comments on everyone's work added a lovely touch to the morning. We all had a fantastic time losing ourselves in the creative process of painting. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, making it a perfect escape from our daily routines. We are already looking forward to seeing our finished pieces in a week's time. Thank you, Step Up Cafe, for providing such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!
