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.

The Right Café, Right Now Every day, the same question: "Where should I grab a coffee?" You have something in mind but you're not quite sure what you're looking for either. You open maps, read reviews, scroll through photos and before you know it 15 minutes are gone and you still haven't decided. Sounds familiar, right? We've been there too, and that's exactly why we built Cafém. How It Works You set your preferences once. Looking for a vegan menu, a quiet corner to work with your laptop, or a place where you can bring your dog? You choose these once and Cafém takes care of the rest. Every time you open the app, your nearest café that fits exactly what you want is already waiting for you. All you have to do is show up. Your Café, Your Rules From vegan and vegetarian options to pet-friendly spots, from work-friendly WiFi and quiet spaces to non-smoking areas, from budget-friendly prices to accessible venues — everything you need is waiting for you in one single app. Your time is precious. So is your coffee. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
