Two people meeting over coffee
How it works

Three small steps, mostly in real life.

Built for café culture, away from group chats, bringing people together over coffee.

Get matched

Tell us about your interests, what you’re looking for in a friendship, and when you’re free. Book a meetup, and we’ll find someone in your city we think you’ll click with.

We pick the café

We coordinate a time and local café that work for you both. You confirm the meetup, we handle the planning.

Show up

Meet someone new, enjoy a coffee and a conversation, and see where it goes. No swiping or endless messaging, just time together in person.

The human part

Made by hand in Alberta, on purpose.

We're not trying to be everywhere. Just really good in one city first.

01

Matched by hand

A real human is in the loop matching you. Someone on our Alberta team is reading your profile and picks a person, not a profile.

02

Independent coffee shops

Support your local coffee shops. Every meet happens at an independent café we've actually sat in. Public, warm, easy to find.

03

How we keep it safe

Public independent cafés only, no private meetups. No texting before meeting up, no last name or any socials matched so your privacy is protected.

We started this because making friends as an adult is hard. So we built something small, human, and local, one coffee at a time.

The whole idea, in motion.

Frequently asked questions

Is coffee included in the koffeeyap?

The koffeeyap covers matching and coordinating your meetup. You purchase your drink separately at the café.

I’ve created a profile. Am I ready to get matched?

There’s one more step: book a meetup and submit your availability. Creating a profile alone doesn’t put you in line for a match.

How do you choose who I meet?

We use your interests, preferences, and availability to find someone in your city we think you’ll click with. Our team helps review matches, so there’s a human behind the introduction.

Is this for dating or friendship?

Koffeeyap is for friendship. Meetups are one-to-one coffees with someone who also wants to meet new people.

Do I need to message my match or arrange anything?

We coordinate the time and café, and you confirm the meetup. There’s no need to start a chat or juggle schedules with someone you haven’t met yet.

What if I’m nervous or a little shy?

That’s completely okay. You’re meeting one person over coffee, with no pressure to impress or become instant best friends. You can start with a simple hello and see where the conversation goes.

Is this a subscription?

No. It’s $4 per meetup, with no subscription or recurring commitment. Book again whenever you’d like to meet someone new.

Do I have to stay in touch afterward?

No pressure either way. If you both enjoy the conversation, you can choose to stay in touch. Every coffee doesn’t have to become a lifelong friendship to be worthwhile.
