Ships with 100+ curated shops and 75+ roasters, plus an opinionated algorithm that rewards single-origin offerings, competition credentials, and third-wave equipment while penalizing syrup-heavy menus. You can search by location with radius filtering, score hypothetical cafes by their attributes, or query the roaster database. The scoring breakdown surfaces exactly why each shop earned its tier, from in-house roasting to cortados on the menu. Useful when you're traveling and want to skip the Yelp noise for places that actually care about extraction and sourcing.
