Lattecino finds you the perfect café to work from, with real WiFi speeds and honest reviews. Then it shows you who's there, open to a hello.
No planning · No events · No swiping · Just presence
How it works
First
Check in and see the people at your café right now: what they do, and whether they're open to a hello. Visible only when you choose to be.
Then
Tap "Open to chat" on someone interesting. They will only ever know if they feel the same. No pressure on either side of the room.
And then
A nod across the room becomes a conversation. Your next collaborator, co-founder, or friend was two tables away the whole time.
Café discovery
Every café is reviewed by people who actually work from them. And the four things that matter are free, forever.
Verified by live speed tests run at the table, not guesses.
Whether you can settle in for the afternoon, or should just enjoy the espresso.
"Arctic, bring a hoodie" beats a five-star lie.
Rated by people who can taste the difference. Latte prices included.
Why it matters
Every café is full of maybes: travel buddies, collaborators, clients, friends. Lattecino turns maybe into hello.
The travel buddy
"The designer by the window is heading to Lombok on Friday. So are you."
The collaborator
"Your app needs a backend. He's two tables over, building APIs for fun."
The client
"She's been searching for exactly what you do. You almost didn't say hi."
The friend
"Same café, three mornings in a row. Turns out you're both new in town."

"For years I worked from cafés around the world, surrounded by developers, designers and founders. Nobody ever said anything. The person two tables over might be building something incredible. Lattecino is the app I always wished existed. So I built it."Michael Hensel, Founder of Lattecino · World Coffee Championship award winner · writing from a café in Bali
Good questions
Lattecino helps you discover great cafés to work from, and makes it easy to connect with the people already around you.
It starts with café discovery focused on what actually matters: reliable WiFi, working AC, honest coffee ratings and laptop-friendliness. Once you're at a café, Lattecino shows who else is there and open to a hello. Think of it as café discovery mixed with real-world connection.
The core experience is free forever: browse every café in every city, see WiFi, AC, coffee and laptop ratings at full precision, check in, and send one wave a day. That's a promise we call our Bill of Rights.
Pro adds unlimited waves and favourites, full profiles, trusted reviews and Coffee Snob details for $4.99 a month, $29 a year, or $99 once for our first 1,000 Founding Members.
We've curated over 11,000 cafés across 40 cities, starting with Bali, where our team has personally visited and rated cafés across Canggu, Berawa, Pererenan, Seminyak, Ubud and Uluwatu. Southeast Asia, Europe and the Americas follow, city by city, based on where our members actually are.
Google Maps shows you where cafés exist. Lattecino tells you whether they're worth working from. Every café is rated for WiFi speed in real Mbps, AC quality, coffee quality and laptop-friendliness, by people who actually work from cafés. And no map will ever tell you that the person at the next table is open to a chat.
When you check in at a café, you can see other Lattecino members who are there right now: what they do, where they're from, and what they're open to. It works only inside the café you've both chosen. You control your visibility completely, and you can be invisible any time you want to focus.
Nothing, unless they feel the same. They're only notified if they wave back at you, and then a chat opens for both of you. If they don't, your wave quietly expires. Nobody ever gets rejected in public, and nobody gets unwanted messages. It's the politest way to say hi ever built.
Reviews come from verified members who were actually checked in at the café, and WiFi numbers come from real speed tests run at the table. In Bali, our founder has personally visited and rated the launch cafés. Honest data is the whole point.
Right now. Lattecino is live as a web app at app.lattecino.com, starting with Bali. Add it to your home screen and it works like a native app. The iOS app follows.
Open the app, find your spot, and say hi to Bali's coffee crowd.
