About
Filter Notes is an editorial project created for travelers and locals who want more from their coffee experiences. Every café we deem outstanding we have visited, captured the atmosphere, and have written the kind of context you normally only get from a trusted friend. For others, we rely on our trusted sources.
Each listing on Filter Notes is selected after multiple visits, cuppings, and sometimes conversations with the team. We look for roasting transparency, seasonal menus, thoughtful service, and spaces that make it easy to slow down. If a café doesn’t meet those standards, it doesn’t make the cut—no paid placements, no filler.
Filter Notes is produced by an independent crew. We share a fascination for sourcing, service design, and the small details that make a pour-over memorable. Expect honest reviews, fresh recommendations, and plenty of photos straight from the road.
Have a café we should visit, a roaster doing something special, or just want to talk shop? Send a note to hello@filternotes.com. We read every message and love hearing from fellow coffee people.
