Dublin coffee shops
A website for your coffee shop in Dublin
Built first, put live, then sent to you. You look at the finished thing before you decide. €690 to keep it, one payment, nothing to sign.
The short version
Cupán Studio builds websites for independent coffee shops, cafés, roasters, café-bakeries and coffee carts in Dublin, and only for them. Send the name of your shop and a link, or wait and see whether a link to one lands in your inbox unasked, because that is the other way this works. Either way you get a six-page site on a real URL, built from your Google listing, your Instagram and your menu, before anybody asks you for money. If you want it, it is €690 and it goes on your own domain within a day. If you don't, it comes down in fourteen days and nothing is owed.
No brief, no discovery call, no mood board, no waiting. The site is the quote.
Is this a scam?
It is the first thing to ask, so here is the test: nobody has asked you for anything. No card, no deposit, no form, no call. The site exists, on a real address you can open on your phone, before the conversation starts, and it stays that way until you say you want it.
What is on the work page today is one site, and it is Bean & Gone, a made-up shop I built to test the system. It is a live page you can open and poke at, every page of it, not a picture of one. Real shops go up there as they say yes and not a day before. The page you are reading now was built with the same system, so you are already looking at the work.
What a coffee shop website needs, and what this one has
My own reckoning of what someone standing on a Dublin street with a phone wants from your site: are you open, what do you sell, where are you, and what does it look like inside. A café site earns its keep by answering those four on a small screen and by being easy enough to change that the hours are still right in March.
- Hours. Every day you open and every day you don't, bank holidays handled, changed by you from your phone without asking anyone.
- Menu. Every item, every price, readable on a phone. Imported from your PDF or a photo of the board, not retyped.
- Find us. Address, Eircode, map, phone, Instagram, and the same details written into the page as schema.org markup, the structured form search engines read. View the source of any page here and you can see it.
- Home and About. What you do and who you are, in your words, with your photos.
- Contact. A form that lands in the inbox you already use, and a
hello@yourshopaddress to go with it.
It is static HTML on Cloudflare's network, so there is nothing to render before the text appears, it is laid out at phone width first and widened from there, and there is no monthly SEO bill on top.

Bakeries, roasters and coffee carts too
The same six pages carry a café, a bakery, a roaster and a cart, and that is the whole reason one price works. What changes is what goes on them.
- Coffee shop or café. The standard set: menu, hours, where you are, a bit about the place.
- Café-bakery. The menu page does the counter, sections and all, and you swap this morning's photo in from your phone.
- Roaster. The menu page becomes the coffee list: origin, process, notes, bag sizes. If you already sell bags somewhere, the site links to that shop rather than pretending to be one.
- Coffee cart or trailer. The find-us page carries where you are this week and how to book you for an event, and you change both yourself when the pitch changes.
Not restaurants, not pubs, not anything else. Coffee is the whole list, which is why the six pages never need re-inventing and why it can cost €690.
What it costs
€690, once.
Domain, hosting, SSL, the hello@ address, the panel you edit it from, the menu import, a printable brand sheet for your sign-maker, a screenshot manual, and the changes you want once you have seen it.
One payment. No monthly bill unless you want one. If you would rather never touch it, it is €435 now and €79 every four weeks and I keep the hours, the menu and the photos current for you. Cancel with one email.
For comparison, the Irish prices published for a hospitality site, read on 14 September 2026: Nua lists a small business package "starting at just €799" and a larger one "starting at €1499"; NexusCloud lists "Starting from €800" and "Live in 2-4 weeks". Those are the two I could find with a number on the page; the full table of published Irish prices has the rest, with the date I read each one. This is the price for the first ten Dublin shops; then it goes up.
Grow Digital Voucher: what actually qualifies
If someone has told you a Local Enterprise Office grant will cover this, start here. The Trading Online Voucher, worth "a maximum value of €2,500 or 50% of eligible expenditure … whichever is the lesser", closed to applications at 5pm on Friday 13 December 2024. What replaced it is two steps: a Digital for Business consultancy with your Local Enterprise Office, open to businesses with "between 1 and 50 paid employees" that are "established and trading for at least 6 months", and then a Grow Digital Voucher worth "50% of eligible costs with minimum grant aid of €500 up to a maximum grant of €5,000 per application".
Three lines in those terms decide whether a small café site fits.
- "An application must be submitted before any project expenditure is incurred or any project activity commences." A site already built and paid for is out, so this is a conversation to have before anything starts.
- "Custom or bespoke software is not eligible for grant support."
- Eligible software is a subscription "that is NEW to the business for a maximum of one year subscription", off the shelf.
Read plainly, and the next two sentences are arithmetic on those quoted terms rather than anything the Local Enterprise Office says. A grant of €500 is half of a €1,000 project, so a €690 one-off is below the scheme's own floor on its own. €435 up front and €79 every four weeks comes to more than that across a year and looks far more like the off-the-shelf subscription the terms describe. I am not going to tell you either is a certainty: the Local Enterprise Office decides, application by application, and the only way to find out is to ask them before you spend anything. The full guide for a café has the terms quoted, the four Dublin office numbers, and the ineligible list that catches cafés out.
If it does nothing for you, you don't pay for it
In your first 60 days live, if the site hasn't brought you one thing you can point at, an order, a booking, a phone call, an enquiry, or a review that mentions it, I keep working on it, free, until it does. Or ask for your money back: you get all €690 and the site stays yours.
How it works for a Dublin café
I build it from what is already public.
Your Google listing, your Instagram, your reviews, your menu. A few days. You do nothing.
I send you one link.
It opens a finished, live site with your name on it. Send it to whoever else has a say.
You decide.
Yes: €690, your own domain within a day, a walkthrough of the panel if you want one. No: it comes down. Not now: tell me and I leave it.
Questions Dublin café owners ask
- How much does a website for a coffee shop in Dublin cost?
- From Cupán Studio, €690 once, or €435 and €79 every four weeks with the updates done for you. Published Irish prices for a hospitality site in September 2026 run from €799 (Nua) and €800 (NexusCloud) upwards. The difference here is that the site is built before you are asked for anything.
- How long does it take to build?
- A few days, and you spend none of them on it. NexusCloud publishes "2-4 weeks" for a restaurant site, which is what it takes when the job starts with a brief and a meeting. This one starts with your Google listing instead, so there is nothing for you to wait on. Once you say yes, it moves to your own domain within a day.
- What if I already have a website?
- Then you already know what it does and does not do. I build the new one anyway, free, and you open the two side by side on your phone before you decide anything. If yours is fine, say so and this one comes down in fourteen days.
- Can I change the menu and the hours myself?
- Yes. Every site comes with a panel: text, photos, hours and menu, edited by you on your phone, saved and live at once. No developer, no invoice, no waiting. There is a short manual with a picture of every button.
- Does it include online ordering, and will it work with the booking system I already use?
- Ordering is not built in, and the site links out to whatever you already use for ordering or bookings, so nothing you have set up is disturbed. If you use nothing yet, I will tell you honestly whether a shop your size needs it, and for a counter-service café my honest answer is that the monthly fee rarely earns itself back.
- Do I need a website if my café is on Instagram and Google Maps?
- They do different jobs and neither of them does this one. A site is the one place your hours, your menu, your address and what the room is like sit together in your own words, on a page you can correct yourself in seconds without waiting for anybody to approve the change. Keep the Instagram and keep the Google listing. This is the page they should both point at.
- Will it be set up for café searches in Dublin?
- The site states what you are, where you are and when you are open in the structured form search engines read, the pages are static so they load fast, and your Google Business Profile can point at them. That is the on-page work, done, with no monthly SEO retainer attached. What any of it ranks for is Google's call, not something anyone should sell you as a promise.
- Who owns the site and the domain?
- You do, the moment you pay. The domain is registered in your name. If you ever leave, you get the files and the keys.
Want one for your shop?
