Bring the essentials
- Cafe name
- Drinks and sizes
- Exact prices
Choose a visual direction and adapt the description before generating. Turn on optional design refinement if you want help with composition, colors or layout. Keep your facts and exact wording in the brief.
Group the way people order
Separate coffee, tea and other drinks when the list needs it. Supply size options explicitly instead of asking the image model to infer them. Put milk or syrup add-ons together rather than repeating them after every item.
Keep personality in the design
Color, illustration and spacing can communicate the cafe's mood without adding promotional claims. A menu can feel playful while keeping every drink name and price straightforward.

Daybreak coffee menu
Original AI-generated example.
See the exact prompt
Design one beautiful flat 4:5 vertical coffee shop menu for a fictional neighborhood cafe. Warm contemporary risograph illustration, cream paper-colored background, deep cobalt blue type, sunny orange accent, one large angular illustration of a coffee cup with expressive steam in the upper right. A striking cropped sun motif anchors the brand; airy asymmetric composition. Keep two clearly separated menu sections and impeccably aligned readable prices, with the list doing most of the work. Exact visible text only: 'DAYBREAK', 'COFFEE & SLOW MORNINGS', 'COFFEE', 'Espresso $3', 'Flat White $4.50', 'Iced Latte $5', 'SOMETHING ELSE', 'Matcha Latte $5.50', 'Chai Latte $5', 'Hot Chocolate $4.50'. The brand is large but the menu is large enough for a phone screen. No additional items, locations, opening hours, discounts, badges, logos, watermark or mockup. Deliver the finished artwork itself edge to edge, no photographed paper or surrounding objects.
A few useful answers
Can I include hot and iced prices?
Yes. Provide the two values and their labels for each drink so the pairing is unambiguous.
Will it invent extra drinks?
Ask for only your approved list, then check the output. Correct omissions or added text before using the menu.
