3. How to Use
This handbook is your guide throughout the Kopi Date
experience. It is designed to reframe your perspective
on dating, unlocking a new way of viewing and
approaching first dates. Read it with an open heart,
and use our Kopi Date secrets well.
4. What We
Are Not
SET APART & MADE DIFFERENT 2
A dating app
A matchmaker/
blind-dating agency
Your cupid
We intentionally steer clear from the online, chat-based
experience of a dating app. Instead, we take games and
uncertainties out of the equation, to focus on meaningful
and face-to-face connections.
We’re not about serious, hour-long consults, or charging
exorbitantly for dates. We focus much more on the fluid
process of a first date instead of pushing for rigidly
defined “success” no matter what.
At Kopi Date, we provide a self-directed and personal
experience, with an ever-supportive team to guide you
along the way! No fuss, no complexity. (FYI, we don't do
speed-dating either!)
Absolutely not! We don’t make unrealistic, fairytale
promises such as finding your “soulmate”. We believe
that the agency lies with you, our Kopi Date member,
to make something beautiful bloom with the people
that we connect you with. Read on to learn more!

8. Moments
to Savour
The beauty of a first
date lies in anticipation,
uncertainty, and the sense
of boundless possibilities.
Through discovering
someone, there is the
potential for so much more.
In an age of instant
but often lackluster
gratification, don’t we miss
the moments of wonder
and hope? Don’t we crave
the feeling of being part of
something meaningful?
In today’s fast-paced
and digitally-driven
world, many of us find
ourselves forgetting and
forsaking organic human
connections. But what
happens when the hype
and novelty wears off?
Do we want more than
a painted image and
superficial niceties?
THE KOPI DATE MANIFESTO
Let’s preserve that tingling,
fluttering feeling called
longing. Let’s once again
revel in the beauty of a first
date. Let’s connect with
those that we meet, not by
swiping or following them,
but by discovering them as
authentic individuals.
Connection &
conversation; this
is the Kopi Date
experience.

11. Who We
Serve
The Kopi Date team is focused on serving you. The one who
hasn’t found something that felt right. The one who seeks
genuine connection over texting games and traditional
matchmaking.
We serve you, the one looking for something thoughtful and real.
The one who knows there is so much out there to learn about
and so many people to talk to.
Because once, we were just like you. Our experience inspired us
to create Kopi Date. Now, we are here to show you that dating
can be everything you want it to be.
Kopi Date is a community of adventurers, seeking to discover
new people and create treasured memories. Our mission is to
build rich and true human connections.

The Kopi Date
Experience
To serve up a memorable experience, we handpick our date
locations and only partner with truly special establishments.
Each of our partner cafes delivers a one-of-a-kind experience.
And most importantly, the setting is perfect for a casual
conversation over coffee.
Kopi Date offers a journey, not a fixed
destination. Every date is crafted as a
unique experience to savour.

The Kopi Date Experience is served with an interactive kit to help
kickstart the date. This kit is designed with thoughtful questions
that draw out meaningful responses from you and your date. By
