**Stop showing up to closed coffee shops.** BrewScout shows you which cafés near you are open right now, and whether they're somewhere you can actually get work done. **Built for people who work from cafés** • Real-time open/closed, so you don't drive to a locked door • WiFi, power outlets, parking, and price at a glance • How loud is it? Silent, conversational, or lively — because "can I take a call here?" was never a yes/no question **Lists you can share** Group cafés into "worth the drive" or "can take a call", then send one to afriend with a link. They can open it even without the app. **Community-powered, without the homework** Answer a couple of quick tags about a café — WiFi, outlets, noise — without writing a full review. Check in with one tap so others know a place is worth the trip. BrewScout finds cafés anywhere you are. Ratings, photos and tags are richest in Houston, where the community started — and grow everywhere people contribute.
