The three-sentence version

Cafeed is a cafe finder built on taste instead of star ratings. You name a few cafes you love, it reads what they have in common — how serious the coffee program is, how warm the room feels, whether it's a settle-in place or a perch — and recommends cafes that match, with the reasons in plain words. Every check-in makes both sides sharper: the cafe's picture and your own taste profile.

The one-paragraph version

Every cafe app ranks by the same number, and the number says nothing about you — a 4.7 that's wall-to-wall laptops and a 4.7 with vinyl and no wifi are different planets. Cafeed reads a taste profile from cafes you already love, using an AI-built map of thousands of cafes described along eight human dimensions (coffee seriousness, room warmth, hospitality, food, space, and more), and recommends places that fit — never with a score, always with a why. When users visit, a two-tap check-in asks exactly one well-chosen question; the answers correct the AI's picture of each cafe and quietly recalibrate the user's own profile, so recommendations are sharper on visit ten than visit one. Cafeed is mapped deeply in St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, and Nashville, with a worldwide directory behind it — built independently in St. Louis.
