APPS WE LOVE

Find a Quality Match

Intentional dating made easy.

With Coffee Meets Bagel, quality beats quantity. The app’s “anti-swiping” approach is perfect for those who don’t have the time to endlessly browse through profiles.

What we love: How the app encourages you every step of the way. When setting up your profile, prompts such as “I like...” or “I appreciate when my date...” help potential matches get a sense of who you are. But if you’re at a loss for words, the app provides example answers to help get your gears turning. If you need an extra pep talk, Profile Tips can teach you how to stand out.

The Suggested tab features profiles that match your preferences.

Quick tip: Create up to three icebreakers with interesting anecdotes that are only available to people you match with. These tidbits can be used to jump-start more meaningful conversations without having to share personal details with everyone who sees your public profile.

Meet the creator: Arum, Dawoon, and Soo Kang launched Coffee Meets Bagel in 2012. You might remember the sisters from when they made the bold move of trusting their gut and saying no to a significant deal on Shark Tank.
