Olives Mud Puddle

Wonderful shop. Excellent coffee. The atmosphere is cozy with a cool vibe. The service was great excellent. Absolutely recommend. The iced mocha is superb

Such a fun place to be creative or just relax with some great coffee & get out & meet people hear local music & look at some wonderful art.

Coffee and service are always good. My only complaint is that it always smells funky in here we always thought maybe it was a rogue cat cause it smells like cat urine, but we think maybe it's the space in the back where they teach pottery classes. BUT aside from the smell, the coffee is good, priced well and the service is always great.

We usually go for the Singer Songwriter events each month. Highly recommend if you enjoy talented musicians. Olive's is a very hospitable, friendly coffee shop. Expert and professional baristas.

I LOVE Olive's! I have taken classes at a few different studios, and each one left me a little disappointed. Olive's does not disappoint. I've been taking classes at Olive's Mud Puddle for a few years now, and I couldn't be happier. The atmosphere creates a wonderful, sharing, creative, and joyful flow. The owner/teacher is so talented and always willing to share her creativity and ideas to help us better our skills. There is a waiting list, but it is worth the wait. There are 2-3 classes each day given by a variety of teachers. There is also plenty of open studio time, so you can come in and play in the mud whenever the shop is open.As is the case for any handmade pottery studio, there are a few steps to creating your pieces, but the time spent is worth it. In addition to the pottery studio in the back, there is an adorable coffee shop/art gallery in the front. They have music bingo and various musical entertainment events on different nights. I love working in the back studio on Friday or Saturday nights while a musician or group performs up front in the coffee shop. It creates such great energy for creating.As a side note, I want to point out the amazing review record for Olive's. Their record is what finalized my decision to go to Olive's. They have only two 1-star reviews out of all their reviews. One was an unusual circumstance, which the owner immediately addressed and corrected. The other was from a student with hard-to-satisfy expectations. When I see a 1-star review for an establishment, I always click on the reviewer to see what their average ratings are. I followed the same process here. As is often the case, the reviewer had only given 1-star ratings in all their reviews.I have made lifelong friends at Olive's and it will always have a special place in my heart.

Artsy ambiance, smiling baristas, delicious scones-what is not to love? This shop is so cute. Vibrant art, locally made pottery, music events some evenings, and a fully functioning pottery studio! They give lessons too! The service both behind the coffee counter and in the studio was excellent. Lots of smiling faces!

I love Olives. I have been taking Pottery classes for two years and have learned so much from the owner, the teachers and the other students. It is so fun to grab a coffee or A glass of wine and hang out in the front gallery or to go back and make Pottery. Love music bingo & jazz night too.

Could not love this place more. I started taking pottery wheel classes 18 months ago, and immediately was hooked. The pottery studio has such a welcoming community of creative people, always willing to share advice and ideas to help grow your skills. The weekly classes are professionally run and so fun. You'll get access to many open studio times daily included in your class cost. There's a reason there's usually a lengthy waitlist! But it's so worth the wait. It doesn't hurt that the coffee shop attached to the studio is delicious, too

I entered the Olive's Mud Puddle Wednesday evening Wheel pottery class for the month of June. I assumed that my last June class would be the last Wednesday of June.I eventually realized that after each class I noticed my pieces had not either dried or been fired. But during my 2nd & 3rd class I knew something was wrong. Closer to the end of my month long program I began to glaze some pieces of pottery from my first class, and really not sure at this time how I was going to complete all of my remaining pieces. An announcement was made that if we had not completed all of our pottery pieces we were allowed only one more session to complete the glazing. The issue now was that not everything had been fired so that meant not only glazing had to be completed but so did the last firing. Another announcement was made about the 4th of July closing of the studio & there would be no classes, and that now puts me clear into the middle July to either finish glazing and or picking up any pieces that remained. Clearly there are issues with the kiln, drying time, and proper time to glaze pieces. I saw a shortage of shelf space, and also missing pieces at times. I found my class to be rushed, confusing, and unorganized. I feel at registration I should have been told of the upcoming closing for the 4th of July week as the studio was closed & I would not be able to finish my remaining pieces at that time. I still have 3 pieces that have not dried and are awaiting the kiln shelf to fill before that firing will occur. I have yet to glaze them, and then they will need to be fired again. I was unaware of the fact that I will be finishing my pottery in the middle of July as I have other obligations.I am disappointed with this studio for the various reasons I have noted and will not return. I hope this will enlighten future students regarding this studio.

Enjoyed having treats at this super cute coffee shop! I highly recommend the marbled cookies! They are amazing! So many cute ceramic pieces and stunning art work! Go and enjoy a magical moment!
