Over Coffee

Across Alberta, one neighbourhood café at a time.

How it works

Three small steps, mostly in real life.

Built for Alberta's café culture, away from group chats, closer to a corner booth.

First

Get matched

by a real person on our team. They read your note and pick someone in your city we honestly think you'd click with. One cup at a time.

Then

We pick the café

Let us take care of picking the independent cafe, person and planning. You get one confirmed plan. No scheduling thread, no back and forth.

And then

Show up

Press the "Im Here" button when you're at the café. After that let the magic happen. Forty-five minutes of conversation, then you're done unless you both choose otherwise in person.

The human part

Made by hand in Alberta, on purpose.

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

Matched by hand

No algorithm, no swiping. Someone on our team reads your note and picks a person in your city, not a profile, a person.

Independent Alberta cafés

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

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're a tiny Alberta team building every match from coffee shops around your city. That's the whole idea.

For independent cafés

Host the meetups. Grow your regulars.

Koffeeyap sends pairs of Albertans to independent coffee shops for 45-minute, low-key conversations. No events to plan. No discount codes. Just two new customers at a corner table, every week.

01 Steady weekday foot trafficMatched pairs book a table during quieter hours, a predictable bump without turning your shop into a speed-dating venue.
02 Built for third placesWe only partner with independent spots that already feel like somewhere you'd linger. If your café has good seating and warm light, you're our kind of place.
03 Zero setup on your endWe handle matching and scheduling. You keep doing what you do, great coffee, a welcoming room, and a table free for 45 minutes.

Join as a partner café

The whole idea, in motion.
