Unlimited Coffee? Yes, please.

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you may have noticed that I’ve been posting a lot about coffee shops lately.

Café Devoción in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Definitely one of my favorite new coffee shops.

So guys — it’s not just because I’m nerding out about taking photos of my drinks (although I do that); I’m actually nerding out about this new app called Cups.

Cups is a coffee subscription plan app, which means that you purchase a plan for the month and then you can use the app to get coffee at any participating shops. You can buy a certain amount of cups (like $15 for five cups) or buy an unlimited plan ($60 for a cup a day or $120 for unlimited cups). There are currently more than 150 coffee shops listed on the app, and they’re constantly adding more.

As a New School alum, I’m super excited that O Cafe in Greenwich Village is on Cups.

 

Sounds cool, right? But let me tell you my favorite part:

All of the coffee shops listed on Cups are small, local businesses. By using the app, you’re supporting the local community AND you’re also discovering really great coffee shops! Each of the shops listed on the app is hand picked by the Cups crew and let me tell you: Every single one is amazing. I’ve been using the app for about two months and I have yet to be disappointed, so much so that Cups is now my go-to for finding a cute coffee shop in a neighborhood I’m not familiar with.

Beaner Bar is my most-frequented Cups shop. Add their Mexican Mocha to your must-try list ASAP!
