What happens if a cafe leaves Coffee Card?
The participating cafe list may change over time. Your membership will continue to work at all other participating cafes. Be sure to check the site for the most current listing of participating cafes and their member perks.
Can Coffee Card be combined with other discounts or loyalty programs?
That is up to each cafe. Some cafes may allow Coffee Card perks to be combined with other offers, while others may not.
Is Coffee Card affiliated with the participating cafes?
Coffee Card is an independent membership program. Participating cafes choose to join the network and determine the perk they offer members.
How are cafes selected?
We look for independent cafes that offer a damn good cup of coffee and a great customer experience. We also consider location, the perk offered to members, and how each cafe complements the existing Coffee Card network.
I have a cafe I'd like to see added. How do I suggest it?
We're always interested in hearing which cafes members would like to see join Coffee Card. Send us the cafe's name and location through the suggestion form. We can't guarantee that every suggested cafe will join, but your recommendation helps us decide where to reach out next.
What do you mean by "cafe"?
We use "cafe" as a broad term for places where great coffee is part of the experience. That can include coffee shops, bakeries, and occasionally restaurants or other neighborhood businesses with a strong coffee program. What matters is that they serve a damn good cup of coffee and feel like a good fit for the Coffee Card community.
