Questions people ask about Artisan

What app finds independent coffee shops near me?

Artisan is a free iPhone and iPad app that finds independent, specialty coffee shops near you or anywhere on the map. It shows only highly rated independent cafés, never the big chains, so every result is a place worth the walk.

How does Artisan choose which cafés to show?

Artisan shows only independent, specialty coffee shops that real visitors rate highly. Big chains such as Starbucks, Costa, Tim Hortons and Peet's never make the cut, and neither do places that are not really coffee shops. Cafés cannot pay to appear, and there are no sponsored listings.

Does Artisan work outside big cities?

Yes, Artisan works worldwide, from big cities to small towns. Wherever you are, it shows you the best independent coffee nearby.

Is Artisan free?

Artisan is free to download and needs no account. An optional Pro subscription is available, and it supports the app's independent developer.

Who makes Artisan?

Artisan is built by Murray Goodwin, an independent iOS developer based in London, for people who would rather find a great local café than settle for a chain.

Is Artisan on Android?

No. Artisan is available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store.
