About The App
The social layer for cafe third spaces.
Cuppa starts with the behaviors already happening in cafes.
Discovering places, meeting people, checking in, sharing Moments, and returning to favorites are the foundation for the cafe passport we’re building.

How It Works
Powered by real cafe visits.
Cuppa is built from check-ins, Moments, saves, and local signals, not generic listings. The more Chicago uses it, the smarter the cafe trail becomes.
Passport
The cafe passport is where this is going.
Cuppa is live today for social cafe discovery: find spaces, check in, invite friends, and share Moments. We’re slowly building those real-world actions into a cafe passport, where verified visits can become stamps, status, and local rewards with participating independent cafes.
