### 5/5 — Finally, a Map for Real Coffee Lovers

*2026-07-06*

This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Instead of the usual chain coffee shops that dominate every map app, Artisan actually curates independent coffee shops and cafés — it feels like having a local friend point you to the good stuff. The map interface is clean and easy to navigate, and it’s clear a lot of care went into only featuring quality, artisan spots. Perfect for coffee lovers who want to explore a city like a local instead of just hitting the same big chains everywhere. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 1/5 — Not great

*2024-12-29*

Gives you pretty much nothing unless you sign up.

**Developer response:** Hi Belladipapa, I'm sorry you found Artisan's free experience a little limited. I try to give everyone enough searches for 'casual' use and only charge those who want to use it for more regular use, to cover my costs. Your free monthly searches are meant to refresh each month, however I noticed there was a bug that was preventing that from working correctly in some cases, so thanks for alerting me to the issue. It should now be fixed in the latest version (2.18.0) and you should be able to search again. I hope you find some good new coffee spots!

### 1/5 — Less than 10 Listings - all in London - a Joke

*2024-04-03*

Titel says it all

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that Artisan didn’t live up to your expectations. I can assure you that the app works all over the world – not only in London.

Artisan works best in big cities, with lots of choice and a strong coffee culture. We only show venues that we think are of exceptional quality for people who are looking to skip the big chains and find somewhere special.

I will check to make sure everything is working as expected, thanks for sharing your feedback.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-06-17*

Just paid for this app. In central London, says it’s unable to help and, that hopefully it’ll work at some point in the future. Fail.

**Developer response:** Hi Mattias, I’m really sorry to hear you’ve had issues with the app since you downloaded it. That’s very unfortunate timing because the problem only occurred in the last two days and I was planning on fixing it this weekend. I just hadn’t had time yet, so huge apologies that you downloaded a broken app. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, the issue is now fixed and the app should be back to normal!

### 5/5 — Just what coffee lovers needed

*2020-09-08*

This app is just what I needed. Finding good coffee but not just paying faceless corporations for it. I want to go local and Artisan lets you find it quickly and easily. Great app

**Developer response:** We're delighted to hear you're enjoying supporting local coffee shops with Artisan! Your satisfaction is our motivation - thanks for sharing!

### 5/5 — Great app travelling in London

Work on jobs around London and downloaded this, haven’t disappointed yet!

**Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying exploring London with our app! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us.

### 5/5 — Coffee lover

*2020-08-01*

Really handy when I’m in a part of London I don’t know. No more Starbucks - hooray!

**Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying exploring new coffee spots in London with our app! Say goodbye to Starbucks and hello to unique finds. Happy sipping!
