Vetted is a warm guide to good cafes worth your time: real photos, useful coffee-program details, and private notes from people you trust. No crowd reviews. No star ratings. No chains. Just a focused map of cafes worth the trip. WHY VETTED IS DIFFERENT • Good cafes only. Vetted is intentionally focused, so you spend less time scrolling and more time finding places worth a stop. • People you trust, privately. Send follow requests by exact handle or private share link, then see follower-scoped cafe notes from people whose taste you know. • The cafe, not the hype. Look for real cafe details: photos, hours, roasters, brewing methods, coffee-program signals, and a clear reason to visit. • No rating theater. No public star wall, public review feed, or false-precision score. • Private by design. There are no public profile pages, suggested follows, people directory, phone contacts, or phone-number matching. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Discover good cafes through a beautiful, photography-led feed. • Browse by list or map — find cafes near you, sorted by distance. • Open a cafe for the full story: hero photos, coffee-program tags, hours, roaster, notes from people you follow, and a one-tap "Take me there." • Save the places you want to visit — your bookmarks sync once you sign in. • Write personal cafe notes for places you've saved, and choose whether followers can see them. • Order ahead at participating cafes, with payment handled by Square through the cafe's own account. WHO IT'S FOR Coffee people, cafe regulars, travelers, and anyone who would rather trust a short, careful guide than a wall of anonymous opinions. If you seek out properly pulled espresso, thoughtful roasters, and cafes with real care behind the bar, Vetted is your map. Browsing is free and needs no account. Sign in if you want to save cafes, exchange private follow requests with people you already know, share follower-scoped notes, or order ahead at participating cafes — first-party analytics can be turned off any time in Profile. A note on trust: Vetted is a guide, not a public rating system. Cafe context and personal notes are there to help you decide where to go next; they are not statements of objective fact. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
