With its revolutionary approach to modern dating for busy urban professionals on the go,
DateCafé is a fresh, dynamic app that whips together our beautiful, tingling excitement about
potential romantic chemistry with our passion for unique, inspiring, off the beaten path
coffeehouse experiences. Cleverly branded as the “Nescafe of urban dating,” or “Match.com
meets Open Table,” it’s part dating app, part café review app, matching amazing people with
cool and fun local places based on common interests, visited places, favorite cafes and
spontaneous get-togethers based on in the moment proximity.
Its creators know how awkward that first encounter can be, and the power of a great first
impression. DateCafé facilitates that opportunity and an instant, mutual activity driven bonding
experience via a built in link to Yelp. The two who meet up via the app are encouraged to spend
some of their time flexing their creative muscles, writing an on the spot review of the café that
other users of the app can benefit from. The app encourages members to post reviews on the
cafes as potential dating venues and share that feedback also with their single friends.
Like most dating sites and apps, DateCafé has its users create a profile – but rather than
ask for generic background information, it cuts right to the chase of what they enjoy most: Do
you drink coffee? Cappuccino? Croissant? Cupcake? Cookie? What kind of theatre productions
do you like? Comedy? Drama? Musical? Perfect first date? How often do you frequent cafes?
Unlike other apps, users are not only able to seal the deal for a date but have access to what the
other person wants in a date so they know they’ll have a great time. Another huge difference
with DateCafé is its video feature, which gives dimension and credibility to the users’ character
and can reinforce what they say about themselves, making stronger upfront impression in the
process. Rather than just texting, users can send personal video messages back and forth in the
app to create a sense of real conversation that will ease right into that initial face to face.
Blowing the superficial nonsense of “Catfishing” out of the water, DateCafé is replacing
it with with four key C’s: Connection, Conversation, Create a Date, Call it Love. It encourages
meeting at a place whose ambience and menu intrigues, excites and lays a great foundation for
that sparkling first impression. DateCafé not only helps its users find and make their dates, it also offers roving interactive speed dating pop up events like Affigadate, where singles get seven gelato tastes and review them with seven dates.
People still believe in love, and want to believe that magic is always waiting just around the corner…Let DateCafé find that corner, and you can take it from there!
