How it works

3 Simple Steps to Your First 30-Minute Coffee

Quick Onboarding & Verification

  • Set your neighborhood, gender, intent & weekly availability
  • Pick your top 3 interests, age range & lifestyle dealbreakers (drinking / 420)
  • Choose max travel time & primary transport mode for fair midpoints
  • Quick selfie & ID check to keep out fake profiles — 19+ only
  • Zero public profiles — your data stays private

Safety built into every step

01

Smart Midpoint & Female Approval

Matches at verified daytime cafés halfway between both users, with final venue approval given to female members so you always meet on your terms.

02

Mandatory ID & Selfie Verification

Zero bots, anonymous users, or catfishes. Every member is bank-grade verified before they can ever meet.

03

Default 30-Minute Exit Ramp

Dates default to a hard 30-minute limit. If the vibe isn't right, standard protocol lets you walk away guilt-free without awkward goodbyes.

04

Pre-Date Voice Vibe Check

Exchange a quick 15-second audio note or prompt answer before confirming, so you feel comfortable before you ever sit down.

Quality over speed

Fewer matches, far better coffee dates

  • Strict Alignment Matching

    We prioritize high-compatibility matches over volume. You'll only be paired with members who match your availability, location preferences, and core lifestyle interests.

  • Verified & $5 Deposit

    Identity verification prevents catfishing, while our $5 Karma deposit guarantees both members are serious, respectful, and punctual.

  • 100% Public & Safe Cafés

    Dates take place at vetted, high-traffic Metro Vancouver cafés with a fixed 30-minute window, giving you complete safety and peace of mind.

  • Quality Over Speed

    We don't do random matches just to fill your queue. Our algorithm cross-references your schedule, travel radius, and top 3 interests so every 30-minute date is a genuine fit.

Quality Takes a Moment ☕

Curated matches can take a little longer than endless swiping — that wait is exactly what makes every coffee worth showing up for.

Safety first

Four controls behind every coffee date

  • Verified Members

    Every member passes a live selfie check matched against bank-grade ID verification. No catfishes, no recycled photos.

  • 100% Public Cafés

    Dates only happen in busy, public, well-lit cafés — never homes, cars, or private venues.

  • 30-Minute Boundary Guarantee

    Thirty minutes is the agreed default, so leaving on time is normal and never awkward.

  • Anti-Ghosting Deposit

    The $5 Karma Deposit keeps people accountable — ghosting forfeits it to the match who showed up.
