    I prefer to see the real actual food i am about to buy on menus. I hate when i get it and it looks nothing like the menu photo. But companies like mc donalds have been deceiving people for decades with help of pro photographers and designers. In this case the sign is pretty and it is clear the items are just drawings. I think it is cool for small biz owners to be able to help themselves with AI. It would probably be better if she used real actual pics of her products with a phone and asked AI to put those inbthe sign in the same stylized way.

      Ok, but it’s a coffee shop. An Americano looks the same as drip coffee. A cold brew looks the same as an iced americano.

        Where i go to have good coffee, these look different because they are served in different cups and presented differently.
