What is Coffee for Singles?
Coffee for Singles is an Atlanta-based friendship community for single adults in their 30s to 50s who want to make new friends, explore the city, and build meaningful community in real life.
We are not a dating or matchmaking group. We do not operate on a paid membership. We host two events every month.
Our thoughtfully curated events create welcoming, low-pressure opportunities to meet people, try new experiences, and build genuine connections beyond the group chat.
Our gatherings include coffee shop socials throughout Atlanta and surrounding metro areas, coffee crawls, Beltline and other trail walks, afternoon coffee shop game socials, creative workshops, and elevated signature socials.
Come solo, meet new people, and leave feeling more connected.
Why does Coffee for Singles exist?
Coffee for Singles Collective exists because there is a growing number of single adults who want community and to make new friends, not just more algorithm driven apps, dating or matchmaking events.
Across the United States, more adults are choosing not to marry, are marrying later in life, or are moving in and out of relationships on their own timeline. Yet most singles groups and events are still built around one thing: finding a romantic partner.
Many of the spaces that claim to serve singles rely on:
• Speed dating and high pressure matchmaking.
• Treating singleness like it’s a problem to fix.
• Messaging that suggests there is something wrong with you, or that there is a magic formula to manifest your mate.
What was missing were communities for single adults who simply wanted:
• To make friends with other singles
• Curated, meaningful events that make it easier to find their tribe and build a real community, in real life not just on social media or group chats.
So we created Coffee for Singles!
We use coffee and shared experiences as the connector, and community as the focus.
Who is Coffee for Singles for?
Our community is designed for singles who:
Are in the age range of 30s to 50s
Want spaces where they can be themselves and meet new friends with shared interests.
Are looking for their tribe to simply do life with, not a string of random social events that never turn into real connection.
Value a diverse mix of people and want to be around people from different backgrounds, ages, and walks of life.
Enjoy a variety of gatherings such as coffee meetups, cooking classes, walks, hikes, game days, creative workshops, and even day trips.
You’ll never need a plus one for our events. Every Coffee for Singles gathering is designed to help you build community, make new friends, and build a single life that feels full and connected.
Meet the Founder
Hi! I’m Jaye Cheray. I founded Coffee for Singles after recognizing a need for more welcoming spaces where single adults could build genuine friendships, explore Atlanta, and enjoy meaningful community without the pressure of dating. What began as my own desire for deeper connection over coffee meetups, has grown into a community centered on coffee, shared experiences, and real life friendships being made.
As a community builder and lifelong coffee lover, I thoughtfully create gatherings that make it easier for people to show up, feel included, form real connections, and do something most of us do anyway - drink coffee.
Through Coffee for Singles, I hope to help redefine what single life can look like: social, fulfilling, and deeply connected.
