In addition to the pottery painting, Bisque It also serves an array of refreshing beverages. Trevor Ayling shared how the lovely staff came to the rescue on a Sunday afternoon when many places were closed, delivering “a very welcome cup of perfect tea.” This attentive service exemplifies the dedication of the friendly team who are always ready to ensure your visit is enjoyable.

For those seeking more than just a cup of tea, Simone Ohlson raves about the overall experience, praising the "amazing food" alongside the approachable and engaging owner, Sumeiya.

Mom and daughter activity /Family activity / grandma with grand children activity / kitchentea idea. We spent 2 hours there and it flew by. We only enjoyed refreshments, didn't eat anything. Customers choose from a wide variety of already made "blank" pottery. (Quite a big variety of kids items as well). You choose your colours, take all the stationery you need from a central table, including brushes. You have a seat and let the creativity flow. Enjoyable 80s music in the background. Very busy, so make a booking in advance!

Came to our rescue on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of places closed and we were desperate for refreshment. Lovely lady delivered a very welcome cup of perfect tea and was super helpful in helping us find a taxi.

This was one of the best experiences I have had in Hermanus. The food is amazing along with the service. In addition, the overall price of the ceramics is quite affordable. The owner Sumeiya, is such a sweet, kind and patient person. She is attentive to her customers, so do not worry about beine left unattended. I would definitely recommend going to Bisque it.
