Where Gods Come to Drink
Research Phase
Before writing a single line of code, our research agent studied Cafe Pantheon — their current website, social presence, reviews, team, and services. Here's what stood out.
Founded by siblings Elena and Nico Stavros, inspired by travel between Athens, Thessaloniki, and Melbourne's laneways
Serve traditional Greek coffee brewed in a briki with loukoumi — plus signature 'The Olympian' (double ristretto, oat milk, honey, cardamom) for $6.50
Menu items are mythology-themed: 'Olympus Big Breakfast', 'Shakshuka of the Gods', 'The Hercules', 'Acai Parthenon Bowl', and 'Matcha Athena'
Design Phase
Every design decision was intentional — informed by the research, not pulled from a template library.
Visual Direction
Navy and gold palette with classical decorative elements (horizontal gold rules), centred typography, and a Mediterranean warmth beneath the formal structure.
Design Rationale
The 'Pantheon' concept demanded classical gravitas — navy and gold, centred layouts, decorative rules — but with Mediterranean warmth underneath. The design feels like stepping into a modern temple where coffee is the offering, not pretension.
Build Phase
Site Architecture
// Next.js App Router
Methodology
Spark (research agent) scraped Cafe Pantheon's current website, Google reviews, social media, and business listings. Every piece of real data — team names, service pricing, business hours, unique details — was extracted into a structured profile.
Based on the research, a bespoke design direction was created specifically for Cafe Pantheon. No templates — the typography, color palette, layout patterns, and visual effects were all chosen to match this business's personality and industry.
Pixel (design agent) built the entire 5-page Next.js application from scratch — 3 custom components, real content from the research phase, App Router with proper routing, and production-grade code.
Sentinel (QA agent) verified the build compiles cleanly, checked for placeholder content, validated all routes render correctly, and confirmed the design is unique (not recycled from another demo).
Additional Notes
Research sourced from cafepantheon.com.au, Google reviews, and social media profiles. All business data — services, team, pricing, hours — extracted and verified from public sources.
More from the experiment
This case study is part of the AI Web Lab — a 30-day experiment where AI agents build bespoke websites for real Melbourne businesses. Every site is researched, designed, and built from scratch by a team of five specialist AI agents. The full methodology, code, and results are documented transparently.
This study is being prepared for publication as part of a research paper on AI-assisted web development at scale.
We built Cafe Pantheon's site in 4 minutes. Same process, same quality — a custom website built for you, not a template.
