A website for your café in Berlin
Search your café and Clay builds a real website, your photos, hours, reviews and a map, ready in minutes.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
A sprawling, endlessly creative city where cheap rents once bred a legendary underground, and independent cafes, Spaetis, natural-wine bars and 24-hour clubs still set the global cool standard.
Berlin practically invented Europe's third-wave scene, so flat whites, filter and single-origin dominate in Neukölln, Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg, with laptops open all day. The classic order pairs coffee with a slab of cheesecake or a cinnamon Zimtschnecke, and brunch is a serious, hours-long weekend ritual. Whatever your café is known for, Clay turns your Google listing into a real website, photos, hours, reviews and a map, so people in Berlin find you and know what to expect before they visit.
Cash, Ruhezeit and a long winter
Two things surprise every café owner who moves here and both belong on the page. Plenty of places are still cash-only or card-over-ten-euros, and a customer who finds that out at the counter tells their friends about it rather than about the coffee. And the Sunday and holiday rhythm is real: a Berlin Sunday is either your best day or your closed one, and both need saying.
The winter is the other half. Kreuzberg and Neukölln empty onto the pavement from May and disappear indoors from October, and a café that reads as a summer place all year loses the half it needs most.
Why Clay
It pulls your info from Google
No blank page. Clay reads your Google business listing and fills in your name, photos, hours, map and reviews automatically.
A real website, not just links
Menus, bookings, a shop, a gallery, contact, Clay is a full site that also works as a link-in-bio, not a list of buttons.
Live in minutes, free to start
Search, pick a style, publish. No signup to see it, no credit card, and a free live address at name.clay.site.
Yours to grow
Bring a custom domain, add pro widgets, run multiple sites. It scales from a bio link to a full business site.
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
What you can switch on
Every one of these is part of your site, not a plugin to install. Turn on what you use and leave the rest off.
What it looks like when it is live

What you get
Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
We are cash-only. Where does that go on the site?
Google records the payment options an owner has filled in on their Business Profile and Clay reads the ones marked true, so if you have set it there it comes across. Most owners also put it in the line under the headline, because it is the one fact a customer wants before they walk in rather than after.
Do I need an Impressum on a Clay site?
If you run a business in Germany, yes, and it is your text, not ours. Add it as its own section or on the contact page and link it from the footer. Clay does not write it for you and does not claim to make your site legally compliant; that part is on you or on your Steuerberater.
Can I show my menu?
Yes, Clay has a menu widget with sections, prices and photos. A café that generates from Google gets a menu block pre-filled, ready for you to tweak.
