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

When are coffee meetups in Oakland?

Coffee, Saturdays at 11:00 am. 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.

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.
