Make the colors work
More than a set of swatches.
Make the menu readable
Espresso Cream offers a dark direction; White Espresso is much lighter. Test prices, dietary labels and small descriptions on both. Keep the ordering action visually separate from decorative coffee-colored panels.
Preserve the product photography
Warm page colors can flatter a drink photograph but should not disguise its actual appearance. Keep a neutral margin around the image and avoid using a page tint as an image filter.
Try it on a real task
Build one realistic menu section with a price, a dietary note and an order action. Test it at mobile width before using the darker palette across the whole site; dense lists reveal weak contrast sooner than a large hero.
