About CoffeeTrove

Every great city has a cafe worth crossing town for.

CoffeeTrove is a curated directory of the world's finest cafes and roasters — scored, reviewed, and organized so you always know where to find a great cup.

What We Do

We research and score cafes across four dimensions: coffee quality, atmosphere, value, and service. Each cafe earns a Golden Drop Score that reflects its overall excellence. Top-scoring cafes earn tier badges: Very Good, Excellent, Outstanding, or Exceptional.

City Guides

Our city guides help you explore coffee scenes around the world. From Lisbon's specialty wave to Tokyo's kissaten culture, we map the cafes and roasters that define each city's coffee identity.
