Hi, I'm Dylan

I built Grapevyn because I love specialty coffee, and I believe the best cafés deserve to grow faster than they typically do.

Every time I leave my house for coffee, I bring my Coffee Spots Polska book and go collecting stamps from the cafés listed inside it. I've learned that the best places are rarely the ones with the biggest Instagram presence or the most reviews on Google. They're the ones people recommend to their friends.

And that's how great cafés have always grown: through word-of-mouth. Someone discovers a place, falls in love with it, and then tells the people they think will love it too.

But until now, there's been no way for café owners to see this behavior happen, let alone encourage it. Grapevyn changes that.

I built Grapevyn for the cafés I visit every week. No ad platforms, no complicated dashboards, no marketing busywork. Just a simple way for them to turn their happiest customers into their best marketing.

So if you run a specialty café that people love, and care about growing through genuine recommendations, let's get you on Grapevyn.
