The method

How Vetted works.

Vetted is built to answer one question: where is the good coffee worth your time? It stays café-first, follower-aware, and free of public ratings.

A guide, not a review wall

Most coffee apps turn strangers into a scoreboard. Vetted is built for a simpler question: where is the good coffee worth your time?

The app keeps the café first: hours, coffee-program details, useful context, and a clear sense of what to expect. Then, when you choose, notes from people you follow add personal context.

Notes from people you follow

Following is private by design. You connect by an exact handle or a share link, and every request is accepted one at a time. There are no public profiles, suggested follows, phone contacts, or people directory.

A personal note is visible only when its author chooses to share it with accepted followers. It is never a public review, rating, or ranking.

What “vetted” actually means

A café earns a place because its coffee program and visit are worth the trip. The product explains that through durable café details, not a hidden score or a public popularity contest.

There is no self-serve listing and no way to pay your way on. Cafés are added deliberately, not by owners buying placement.

No scores, no stars, no public reviews

You won't find a star wall or public rating system anywhere on Vetted, and that's deliberate. A single number flattens everything that matters about a café into false precision, and public review walls reward the loudest, not the most useful.

Personal notes stay follower-scoped. They help the people who chose to follow you; they do not become a public review page for everyone else.

Keeping it honest

Owners can keep practical details like hours, address, and photos accurate. They cannot buy placement, edit the product's café context, or read personal follower notes.

You stay in control of your own notes: keep one private, share it with followers, make it private again, or delete it whenever you choose.

Community-note rules

Keep a shared note café-specific, useful, and grounded in your own experience. Write for people who chose to follow you: be respectful, protect other people's privacy, and do not use notes as public ratings, scorecards, or promotional posts.

Do not share spam; impersonation; personal or confidential information; harassment or bullying; hateful or discriminatory abuse; threats or glorification of violence; sexually explicit content; or instructions that facilitate illegal or dangerous conduct. Automated checks may stop clearly objectionable text before it is shared.

A follower can report a shared note in context. Vetted reviews reports, can return a violating note to private visibility, and may suspend an account for severe or repeated violations. Blocking remains available immediately, and questions or appeals can be sent to the support address below.
