about not another sunday

not another sunday is the world's first global directory of specialty coffee roasters and independent cafes. built for coffee drinkers who want merit-ranked results, and for independent cafe owners who can't outspend chains in traditional directories.

with 119,816 cafes and 10,837 roasters across 43 countries and 9,026cities, we're building the most detailed map of independent coffee culture on the planet. every listing is ranked by the nri score.

chain brands are tracked separately. our default views celebrate the independents who pour their hearts into every cup.

how not another sunday differs from google maps and yelp

not another sunday lists only independent cafes and roasters. no chains appear in any ranking, browse, or search view. google maps and yelp include starbucks, costa, pret, and other chains alongside independents, making it harder to discover quality independents.

every listing is ranked by the nri score. a merit-based algorithm using review quality (35%), review volume (25%), social and buzz (10%), profile depth (10%), web presence (8%), photo coverage (7%), and specialty plus local signal (5%). see the nri score page for the full breakdown. no listing can buy its way to the top. paid plans only unlock badges, photo limits, and editorial features. never ranking.

we don't run ads, we don't take affiliate commissions on bookings, and we never share your data with third parties.

how nri scores work

the nri (not another sunday ranking index) is our proprietary score from 0-100 that measures a listing's overall quality, reputation, and digital presence. higher scores unlock better badges and visibility.
