find my brew

tell us what you're craving. we'll match you to the perfect spot from 137,000+ indie cafes and roasters.

what is find my brew?

find my brew is not another sunday's free ai-powered coffee recommendation engine. you describe what you're craving in natural language and the engine matches your description against 137,000+ independent cafes and roasters across 30 countries to surface the top picks with context.

unlike google maps, find my brew ranks by merit — the nri score (a 0–100 algorithm built on review quality, review volume, social momentum, web presence, photo coverage, profile depth, and local credibility) plus relevance to your specific craving. no chains, no paid placement, no account required.

how the engine works

  1. 1

    you describe your craving

    type a sentence. vibe, brew method, origin, neighbourhood, must-haves. the engine handles natural language and infers what you mean.

  2. 2

    we read what you actually mean

    the engine pulls your craving apart — cafe or roaster, brew method, roast, origin, the vibe you're after, your city, and must-haves like wifi, quiet, or late hours.

  3. 3

    your area gets scored against it

    every non-chain spot near you is scored on a weighted blend of nri (merit), buzz (social momentum), local cred (locals vs tourists), and how well it fits what you asked for. all 137,000+ listings are eligible.

  4. 4

    you get the top matches with reasons

    each match shows the percentage fit, the reasons it scored well, the nri score breakdown, and a direct link to the full listing. no ads. no upsell.

what is find my brew?+
Find My Brew is Not Another Sunday's free AI-powered coffee recommendation engine. You describe what you're craving in natural language and the engine matches your description against 137,000+ independent cafes and roasters across 30 countries to surface the top matches with context. No account required, no chains, no paid placement.
how does find my brew work?+
Find My Brew runs in two stages. First, the engine reads your prompt and pulls out structured intent (record type, vibe, brew method, roast preference, city, amenities). Second, it scores every non-chain listing near you against that intent using a weighted blend of NRI score (review quality, volume, social signal, web presence, photo coverage, profile depth, and local credibility), Buzz score (social momentum from Instagram + TikTok), local cred percentage, and attribute fit. You get the top matches with a percentage fit and the reasons behind each pick.
is find my brew free?+
Yes, completely free. No account required, no usage limits, no ads. Not Another Sunday is funded by Featured listings from cafe and roaster owners (a one-time $200/year upgrade), not by users. There is a 5-query-per-minute rate limit per IP to prevent abuse.
what kinds of queries work best?+
Specific cravings win. Give Find My Brew a vibe (cozy, hidden, buzzy, quiet), a brew method (pour-over, espresso, chemex, filter), a roast or origin preference (light, fruity, ethiopian, natural process), a city or neighborhood, and any must-have amenities (wifi, quiet, dog-friendly, late hours). Example: "quiet wifi cafe in shoreditch with light roast filter" is much stronger than "good coffee".
does find my brew work outside the uk and us?+
Yes. Not Another Sunday indexes 137,000+ listings across 30 countries including the UK, US, Canada, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and more. Find My Brew picks up city and country hints automatically.
why does find my brew sometimes return zero results?+
If the engine returns nothing, your filter combination probably excludes too many candidates in the target geography (e.g. asking for a quiet wifi roaster with wholesale and ecommerce in a small city). Drop the most niche attribute and try again, or browse the directory directly via /cafes or /roasters and use the filter chips.
how is this different from google maps?+
Google Maps ranks by review volume, paid ads, and proximity. Find My Brew ranks by merit — NRI score (a 0–100 algorithm that rewards review quality, volume, social momentum, web presence, photos, profile depth, and local credibility) plus relevance to your specific craving. We exclude chains by default, never accept payment for ranking, and never surface a result above its objective score. Featured listings get a visual badge but their placement is the same as anyone else's.
can cafe owners influence their ranking?+
Owners can claim their listing for free and add photos, description, brew methods, amenities, and a roaster relationship — which improves the profile completeness component of the NRI score. They cannot pay to move up in Find My Brew results. The only paid tier ($200/year Featured) unlocks a homepage rotation slot, a dofollow link, and a brand badge on the listing card.
