🎨 Paint, Create, and Laugh Together

Whether it’s your first date or your hundredth, crafting together is one of the easiest ways to connect. At Crafty Tomato, you can paint on canvas, decorate 3D plaster figures, or try mosaics and clay, no experience needed.

All paints, brushes, and tools are included, so all you have to do is show up and have fun. Most projects take about 60–90 minutes, making it the perfect date night activity in Tempe.

🪴 A Cozy DIY Studio for Everyone

The vibe inside Crafty Tomato feels like your favorite café — but instead of sipping lattes, you’re painting, crafting, and chatting. Some guests come for solo art time, others for girls’ nights out, and plenty for Tempe date nights that feel both creative and chill.

You can even bring your own snacks or boba drinks. Couples often tell us it’s the most memorable thing they’ve done together — especially since they get to take home their handmade creations.
