A coffee shop sells atmosphere as much as coffee. Your website should capture that feel, answer “are you open?” in a second and make it easy to find, order and return. Here is how to build a coffee shop website with AI.
What matters most to neighbourhood regulars and visitors
- Atmosphere and photos. Show the interior, drinks and food so people know the vibe before they arrive.
- Menu with prices. Publish drinks and food as real text, including milk alternatives.
- Hours, location and parking. Display opening times and how to find you.
- Online ordering or loyalty. Add pickup ordering or a loyalty programme if you offer one.
- Community and events. Share events like live music and workshops.
Pages to include on your coffee shop website
- Home. Hours, address, a signature drink photo and Order Ahead button.
- Menu: espresso drinks, brewed coffee, tea, pastries, breakfast.
- Our story and beans: sourcing and roasting.
- Events such as open mics, tastings and workshops.
- Shop for beans and merch, if offered.
- Catering and Contact.
Set up your coffee shop website with Tuli Builder
- Install the Tuli theme. On a WordPress site with hosting and a domain, install and activate Tuli Builder. New to WordPress? Start with the beginner guide.
- Open the AI Assistant. In your dashboard go to Tuli, then AI Assistant, and pick Tuli AI, which is included with your licence and needs no API key. Prefer your own account? Add an API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or OpenRouter instead.
- Paste the prompt below. Swap in your real business name, city and services. The assistant lays out the page, drafts the copy and writes clean HTML and CSS.
- Refine visually or by asking. Click any element to restyle it in the style panel, or describe the change to the AI.
- Add your inner pages, then publish. Repeat the process for each page in the list above, replace placeholder text and photos with real ones, and publish.
