QDo I need to download the app?
A

Yes. First Coffee is a mobile app. You download the app, apply once, and we handle the matching and coordination.

QWhat if I don't get matched right away?
A

Then you don't pay. We only charge when we confirm a First Coffee for you.

QIs this a swipe-based dating app?
A

No. First Coffee is an app, but not a swipe-based dating app. There is no swipe feed, no profiles to scroll. First Coffee is a curated 1:1 introduction program for UC Berkeley alumni.

QIs this a group dating event?
A

No. This is a dating app that sets up a private 1:1 coffee date at a public café.
