Despina – Cafes & Coffee Shops WordPress Theme Overview
Despina is a WordPress theme by SK-Themes for coffee shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. The vendor sees it serving a wide range of food and drink businesses, from bakeries, cake shops and tea rooms to pizza, sushi and wine venues.
The theme is built entirely around WPBakery Page Builder, and Revolution Slider is bundled for sliders, carousels and hero scenes. It can introduce your restaurant, team and services, show an order system and contact details, display a photo gallery, and host a cooking blog. WooCommerce is supported for selling products, and the theme options run on the Redux Framework.
Despina ships with five homepage variations and more than 35 custom layouts, parallax and video backgrounds, unlimited colour and font schemes, more than 700 Google Fonts and SVG icons. It includes unlimited custom sidebars, bottom footer widgets and social links. It is WPML compatible, includes .pot files and a child theme, and works with Contact Form 7; a 2019 update added GDPR agreement checkboxes to the default forms. The vendor keeps it current, with version 5.0 in March 2025 adding PHP 8.4 support.

Important Notes About Despina – Cafes & Coffee Shops WordPress Theme
The listing mentions an order system but doesn’t describe a dedicated ordering or reservation plugin, so online ordering would run through WooCommerce and bookings through a form or separate plugin; check the live demo. Demo images aren’t included in the download, and a regular licence covers one site.
Keep menu prices, ingredients and allergen details accurate, with no unsupported health claims. Selling baked goods online brings provincial and municipal food-safety rules, and packaged products need federal labelling. Wine or other alcohol on the menu requires provincial liquor licensing and brings advertising and minimum-age rules. The business owner is responsible for compliance.
