Lucia's Cafecito y Más

Warm brand and site for a family-run Latin café on Bardstown Road — a house-latte menu, the founder’s Ecuadorian story, and daily hours.

1The Challenge

Lucia’s Cafecito y Más opened on Bardstown Road with something most coffee shops can only wish for: a genuinely personal story. Founder Melina Seifried grew up around her family’s Ecuadorian and Colombian restaurant, and the café runs on housemade syrups and creams and a homemade touch. It needed a first web presence that carried that warmth and told newcomers on a busy Highlands coffee corridor exactly why to stop in.

2The Solution

We designed a warm, homemade-feeling site that leads with the drinks the neighborhood comes back for and the family behind them. A structured menu spans house lattes, coffee, tea, bagels, doughnuts, and empanadas, with signatures like the Spanish Latte and Banana Latte featured up top. The founder’s story sits front and center, and daily hours, location, directions, an Instagram feed, and a newsletter keep the practical details and the regulars close.

3The Result

Lucia’s now has a home online that matches the care in the cup — the little details the café is known for. A new neighbor on Bardstown Road can find the menu, the story, and the door in seconds, and the site gives the family a warm, ownable presence to grow the following they’re building in person.
