What a coffee shop website needs: hours, menu text, and a map

Most people checking your coffee shop's site are on their phones looking for when you open, where you're located, and what you serve. Put your opening hours, street address, and phone number near the top so they can find you right away. If you put your menu directly on the page as plain text instead of an image file, it's much easier to read on a small screen and quick to change when your seasonal drinks rotate.

On Heya, you can use heading and text blocks for your menu and hours, then drop in an embed block to show a Google Map. There's a socials block that links to 29 networks plus your phone and email, and every site runs on HTTPS with its own sitemap.xml and robots.txt so search engines can find it.

When a dedicated restaurant platform is worth paying for

On Heya, you can link a button to an ordering page you already use, while dedicated restaurant platforms handle mobile pre-orders, delivery, and loyalty programs directly. Square Online puts cart, checkout, order, fulfillment, and catalog tools into any Square plan with encrypted payments. Toast Websites is part of Digital Storefront Pro, pairing with Toast hardware (Starter Kit from $0 per month or Point of Sale from $69 per month) and scheduled menu publishing.

For shops doing high online volume, Owner.com runs $249 per month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order, or $499 per month with no extra restaurant fees if you're bringing in $5k+/mo in online sales. That gets you online ordering, a branded mobile app, loyalty programs, and AI email and text marketing.

Free vs paid cafe website options

You can launch a cafe site for $0 if you don't mind a subdomain and platform branding. Our Heya Free plan costs $0 with no time limit or credit card, giving you up to 3 sites and 5 pages per site at yourname.heya.bio with a small badge. Wix also has a $0 Free plan on a Wix domain with branding.

Removing our badge costs $3 a month on Pro Lite, while our Pro Standard plan costs $6 a month for up to 5 sites and 1 custom domain per account. To remove branding and use a custom domain elsewhere, Wix Premium plans start at $17 per month (paid yearly in full), while Squarespace starts at $19 per month after its 14-day free trial.

How to set up a coffee shop site on Heya

We have 68 templates on Heya, including restaurant templates, and you can start building right in your browser without making an account first. You can build and edit the whole site fully on a phone, pick from 42 fonts, 14 theme presets, and a 5-color palette, and put up to 40 sections on a page.

When you upload photos of your espresso bar or pastries (up to 20 MB each, and up to 200 files per site), Heya resizes them to 2048 pixels on the long edge and converts them to WebP automatically. Once your hours, menu text, and Google Maps embed look good, sign in with Google to publish at yourname.heya.bio for $0.
