About Cafe Menu Journal

Cafe Menu Journal is an independent hospitality blog with practical, field-tested writing on cafe and bakery menus, made simple. We publish clear guides for owners, managers and front-of-house teams who care about the small details that shape how a room feels and how a shift runs.

What we cover

Our articles focus on the everyday craft of running a venue well: setup and organization, service habits, tabletop and presentation details, and the routines that keep a busy floor calm. Every piece is written to be useful on the floor, not just in theory.

About the editor

Molly Hart ran a cafe and bakery counter, and writes about menus that move fast, sell well and stay easy to update.

Molly Hart leads the writing here, drawing on real hospitality experience to keep the advice grounded and practical.

Our approach

We write in plain language, avoid hype, and try to earn your time with genuinely helpful detail. If a topic does not add value on a real shift, it does not make the blog.
