The detail: At the carts, every coffee is free while we're there, 8am to midday. No purchase, no sign-up, no catch. Connections are separate: we're covering the first 1,000 coffees for members who connect through the platform, one per member, issued once you and your match have connected and exchanged messages — not on sign-up alone. Cart locations will be confirmed on this page closer to the date. Scaling may vary or end the connection-coffee offer at any time.
