Make friends over coffee

An afternoon coffee at a café we've picked, with a small group put together for you, so you just show up. It's a lighter way to meet people than a full evening out.

  • Every Saturday afternoon.

An afternoon coffee, step by step

  1. When you book

    Pick a day

    Choose your city, a date and the language you'd like to speak. Booking stays open until 13 hours before.

  2. Before the coffee

    We put the group together

    A small group, chosen from your quiz answers, age band and language, at a café we pick. The app shows where to go and a bit about who's coming.

  3. The start

    Coffee in daylight

    You meet a few people around one café table. It's an easy way to see what Timeleft is like before you sit down to a whole dinner.

  4. Afterwards

    Keep in touch

    The group chat stays open, so you can make plans with anyone you got on with.

Safety

Is it safe?

Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and there's no one-to-one messaging before you meet. If you report someone, you're never placed with them again.

99%

Over 99% of Timeleft experiences happen without any safety incident, according to the safety framework we published in June 2026.

  • It’s a fun way to meet new friends, or at least have a fun afternoon coffee with some nice strangers.

  • Timeleft is a nice way to meet people and make friends. Especially coffee events for me because I usually prefer casual setups more often.

  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

Questions about coffee meetups

Do I have to order coffee?
No. Order tea, juice or whatever the café does well. You pay for what you order at the café.
How is coffee different from a dinner?
It happens in the afternoon, and you only pay for what you order at the café. The group is put together the same way as for a dinner.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. If you'd like company, you can invite a friend as a +1 from the event page, and their first event is free.
