What does it mean to be a verified cafe?

Verified cafes are selected, not just listed. For now, we keep verification to one highlighted cafe per city, so the badge stays meaningful for visitors and valuable for cafes.

Selected koffiework recommendations

Verified cafes are places we feel confident showing more prominently to people looking for coffee, work, reading, meeting, or laptop-free time. Koffiework already indexes 2,500+ cafes, and verification helps one cafe per city stand out with richer context and stronger placement.

What verification unlocks

Verification gives your cafe a more trusted and more visible presence on koffiework. Because verified spots are limited per city, the badge is not just decoration. It helps your cafe stand out where people are deciding where to go next.

One verified cafe per city

For now, we keep verification to one highlighted cafe per city. That makes the badge easier to understand and gives each verified cafe a stronger spotlight.

Pinned city placement

Verified cafes can be pinned or prioritized on city pages, making them easier to discover when people browse for a place to drink coffee, work, read, meet, or go laptop-free.

Homepage visibility

Verified cafes can be featured on the koffiework homepage and discovery sections, giving your cafe visibility beyond people who already know your name.

Custom cafe story

Add richer copy about your cafe, atmosphere, coffee, best times to visit, laptop rules, seating, Wi-Fi, outlets, and anything else that helps visitors decide if your cafe is right for them.

Clear expectations

Third-place research shows people return 2-3 times per week when a place fits their routine. Clear expectations help attract better-fit visitors instead of mismatched one-off visits.

Verified trust badge

The verified badge tells visitors that koffiework has checked your listing and is comfortable recommending your cafe.

What we check

Padrão de café

The cafe should be a good fit for people who care about coffee, with a listing that represents the offer honestly.

Work setup

We check whether seating, Wi-Fi, outlets, noise level, and best times are described clearly enough for laptop workers.

Laptop rules

Laptops can be welcome, limited, or discouraged. The important part is that the rules are clear and fair to visitors and staff.

Accurate details

Opening hours, address, atmosphere, owner notes, and policy details should match the real-world experience.

How it works

  1. 1

    Get in touch

    Send us your cafe details and what you want guests to understand before visiting.

  2. 2

    koffiework reviews

    We check whether the cafe fits the verified criteria and what extra context the listing needs.

  3. 3

    Profile goes live

    If approved, your cafe gets the verified badge, richer listing, and selected visibility for the €29,50/month intro plan.

  4. 4

    Keep it accurate

    If your setup changes, we update the listing. Verification can also be removed when it no longer fits.

Subscription and cancellation

Verification has a minimum starter period of 3 paid months. After that first period, you can cancel monthly.

New cafes that opened in the last 15 months can start with 3 months free. After that, there are 3 paid months, then the subscription becomes cancelable monthly.

Trust comes first

Verification is a paid visibility product, but not a paid shortcut. The intro plan is €29,50/month, and payment alone never guarantees verification.

koffiework can unverify a cafe when conditions change, information becomes inaccurate, or the cafe no longer matches the verified experience.
