Overview
A bright, rounded theme for bakeries, cafes and brunch spots: today's bakes, the coffee list, "open now" hours and cake pre-orders, arranged like a bento box.
Levain is for the bakery on the corner: flour-white paper, cocoa ink, deep sage buttons and butter-yellow and blush tiles. Pages are built as bento grids of rounded tiles with 12 px gaps; buttons, chips and the navigation are pills; hero photos are soft blobs. The header is a floating pill bar, the footer a set of tiles, and an "after hours" dark scheme is one click away. It needs no page builder.
Made for bakeries and cafes
- Today's bake board. A bento tile with the compact menu (Bread, Viennoiserie, Cakes), big butter price chips and a "sold out by noon" note, plus the coffee list with sizes as small pills.
- Menus. Dishes and drinks with prices or sizes, dietary marks, allergens, "new" and favourite badges; a switcher (Breakfast, Lunch, Coffee) and filter chips as pills; every item has its own page with a blob-masked photo and "pairs well with".
- Opening hours with a big "Open now, until 16:00" tile, holidays and special dates, and the same status in the header.
- Cake pre-orders: a form for name, pickup date, cake, size, message on the cake and allergies; requests arrive under Messages.
- Reservations, events and galleries: a table request form that only offers times when you are open, events with a butter date circle, a square photo grid with a lightbox.
- Five hero layouts: a bento hero, oversized type with a photo inside the headline, a split hero with today's board, a morning-to-evening strip and a pre-order hero.
- Three style variations (Matcha, Blueberry, After hours), each with its own light and dark palette, and a slow marquee of pastry names. Motion respects reduced-motion settings.
Questions
Do I need a plugin?
Menu prices, dietary tags, hours and events are entered with the free Secure Custom Fields plugin; Levain offers to install it with one click. Without it everything still displays, but the extra fields can't be edited.
How do I add a dish?
Menu → Add menu item. The title is the dish name, the excerpt is the line shown on the menu, the content is its longer story, the featured image its photo. Choose its menu, section and dietary tags, then fill in the price (or sizes), allergens and badges below.
Where do I set the opening hours, address and phone?
In the Restaurant menu of the dashboard: Details, Location, Opening hours (weekly hours and special dates), Reservations, Order and gift cards, Press and Gallery.
Where do reservation requests go?
Every request is saved under Messages in the dashboard and emailed to the site's admin email address. Change the recipient under Messages → Settings or in the reservation block's settings. With a booking service address in Restaurant → Reservations, the "Book a table" buttons go there instead.
How do I get the demo content?
Appearance → Import demo imports "Fennel & Fig": menus, dishes, events, pages, settings and a menu. You can remove it again from the same screen.
How does dark mode work?
The sun/moon button in the header switches between the paper and the candlelit scheme and remembers the choice on that device. The Candlelight style variation starts in the dark scheme for everyone.
Can I turn off the animations?
Visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a calm site automatically (the background video pauses too). To remove an animation from a block, open the block's Motion panel in the editor.
