Find a great cup anywhere, log every visit, and keep the record of everywhere coffee has taken you. Seen our "Great Coffee Inside" sticker on a café window? This is the app behind it. Shops that care put it up, and the map of all of them is in your pocket. FIND GREAT COFFEE, ANYWHERE Open the map in any city and see the specialty coffee shops around you. Search as you move, and filter by what matters: open now, newest, nearest, or the shops you have saved. When you land somewhere new, Best Near Me ranks the shops within walking distance by rating against how far you would walk. Every listing carries what decides a visit: photos, opening hours, the espresso machine and grinder on the bar, the roasters served, and separate ratings for coffee, service and place. LOG EVERY VISIT One tap saves the moment: the shop, what you drank, a photo, a note. Your visits build into a timeline of your coffee life, chaptered by trip. That flat white in Lisbon two years ago? Still there. SET YOUR YEARLY CHALLENGE How many coffee shops will you visit this year? Pick a number and watch the count climb, visit by visit, with a home-screen widget that keeps score. TAKE A SHIFT BEHIND THE BAR Shake your phone for Coffee Run: a 60-second shift at the counter. Take the order, carry the cup, don't spill a drop. Everyone plays the same floor each day. Your best, your regulars and your Barista Path are yours. TRAVEL LIKE A COFFEE PERSON Roasters was built for the specialty coffee traveller. One reviewer put it best: "It changed the way I travel. I started looking for accommodation only near a coffee shop." Plan the trip around the coffee. This is the map for it. RATE, REVIEW, BELONG Rate the coffee, the service and the place separately, and tag the drinks you tried so the next person knows what to order. See what your city is drinking, follow reviewers around the world, and climb the leaderboard, or quietly read along. AND THE REST Lists to build, public or private. Roasters as first-class citizens, not just cafés. Coffee jobs and events, posted by the shops themselves. Keeps working on a weak signal. Roasters is free to explore and free to log. Roasters Pro adds the power tools: Best Near Me, the open-now and nearest filters, review translation, and unlimited map searches. Great coffee inside. Go find it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Coffee Map Guide at 5.0 against Roasters's 4.3. Coffee Map Guide also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 19) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Roasters's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (65% vs 50%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Coffee Map Guide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roasters has 109 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Coffee Map Guide's written reviews are positive against 65% of Roasters's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Coffee Map Guide ships an update every 2 months, Roasters every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
