About Coffee Meets Bagel
Coffee Meets Bagel takes a slow-dating approach: instead of an endless swipe feed, it sends you a small number of curated matches (Bagels) each day at noon. This encourages more thoughtful engagement rather than rapid-fire swiping. Matches expire after a week, creating gentle urgency without pressure. The app uses a network-based algorithm that prioritises friends-of-friends. It's best suited to people who are serious about dating but don't want to spend hours scrolling. Premium features include activity reports and read receipts.
