About Coffee Hop

Focus. Walk. Repeat.

Coffee Hop helps you discover work-friendly cafés and pubs within walking distance

How it works

1

Pick your walking time

Choose how far you want to walk - from 5 minutes to an hour. Use "Range" mode to focus on a specific distance range.

2

Choose cafés or pubs

Tired of cafes? Switch to pubs (bars) to find your perfect work spot.

3

Find venues near you

Browse the list or map to see venues sorted by work-friendliness. Check ratings for WiFi, plugs, coffee quality, and ambiance.

4

Rate and share details

After your visit, rate the venue. Add details like latte price, WiFi speed, plug availability, and any notes to help others.

💡 Pro tip: Heading somewhere by train or car? You can double-click anywhere on the map to search for work spots at your destination before you arrive.

Privacy first

We take your privacy seriously. Here's how we protect it:

  • Your precise location never leaves your device. We only send an approximate grid cell (~150m area) to find venues nearby - never your exact coordinates.
  • No sign-up required. A guest account is created automatically when you first interact (rate or favorite). Your ratings are anonymous.
  • Venue data is cached by area, not by person. The cache isn't linked to any user.

Where does the data come from?

Venue locations come from OpenStreetMap, a free, community-built map of the world.

Work-friendliness ratings come from our community of users. When you visit a venue and rate it, you're helping others find great places to work!
