> site that loads fast

What are you talking about. It takes over a second to load everything and the content jumps once or twice as it is loading. If this was a static website, not a 'web app', it would load faster without jumping around.

Now don't get me wrong, the design is amazing for a coffee shop, but it certainly isn't fast.

On first load from Germany it was there, almost instantly. Certainly under 0.5secs. And no content jumps either. Desktop, Linux, FF, µBo.
Interesting. I clicked on the link and it showed up almost instantly. And as I scrolled nothing loaded in or jumped around. So in assumed it was a static site with optimised images.
The jumping around happens on initial load. First the description loads, then the logo on top, which pushes the description down, and finally the menu items, which push the footer down. After that, the site is smooth.
It's not a static site.

It doesn't work without javascript.
