I can fully recommend this charming place. It is a very fun experience to play with painting ceramic cups and plates. Mona is very kind and helpful in explaining about different techniques. In the end, however you end up painting your piece it will turn out amazing once it’s completely glazed and baked. It can definitely be a unique kind of gift.

A great workshop to paint with friends, kids or small groups. Good atmosphere and a good selection of ceramics and paints. They have instruction booklets for different ways you can decorate your ceramic piece. They will explain to you what you need and how to do different methods.

We had the most incredible time at Monami! Mona was so kind and helpful with everything, offered us beverages and homemade muffins, assisted us at all stages with our ceramics. Honestly, the best ceramic cafe experience I’ve ever had. Atmosphere was so warm, friendly, encouraging and felt like we could be stuck there for hours. Not to mention the range of ceramics and tools to design them with is extensive - will definitely be back to create some more incredible items and to be back in Mona’s care. 11/10!

Choosing a ceramic piece and painting it however you like is such a relaxing and fun activity, whether you’re solo, with friends, kids, or on a date! Mona is super friendly and helpful, offering tips on colors and techniques. If you’re looking for a creative escape in Zagreb, this is the place to be! Highly recommend!

The place is really nice and materials are all new, all tools and colors and design ideas are there, a very wide variety of beautiful ceramics with very reasonable prices. It was a very pleasant and relaxing experience even for an absolute beginner like me who was trying it for the first time.

My wife forced me to come here, I hesitated at the beginning but when I started painting I could not stop, it is so addictive! All in all it was fun experience ;)
