I Had a great time at this event. If you’ve never been, it’s definitely worth heading to. Went to the one in Melbourne CBD.

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…

I am so happy to have found Timeleft. It has got me out of the house and meeting new people every week. I have made some wonderful connections with some new friends.

Questions about coffee meetups

When are coffee meetups in Melbourne?

Coffee, Saturdays at 1:00 pm. Booking closes 13 hours before each one, or at midnight the night before if that would fall between midnight and 8:00 am. The dates above are the next ones you can still book.

Where in Melbourne do they happen?

The next ones include Carlton and Prahran. We pick the café, and the app shows you where to go before the coffee.

Do I have to order coffee?

No. Order tea, juice or whatever the café does well. You pay the café for what you order.

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.

What does it cost?

Booking takes a Timeleft membership, and the app shows its price in your country before you pay anything.

As many coffee meetups as you like during your plan. The same membership covers the other formats in your city too.

Your own food and drinks. You order what you like and pay the venue yourself.
