☕ Why You’ll Love It
Come for the coffee, stay for the conversations. Whether you're deep in the world of AI, just AI-curious, or love talking with thoughtful minds, One Coffee at a Time is your space to connect, share, and unwind — over a latte, Americano, or whatever’s brewing.
🌟 What to Expect
🔄 Relaxed, Agenda-Free Vibes
No slides. No pitches. Just authentic, spontaneous conversations with great people.
🎯 Find Your People, Instantly
From themed name tags to color-coded stickers and community hosts, you’ll never feel lost or left out.
🧠 Playful Icebreakers
Fun table prompts, project “show & tell,” and interactive walls (like “What’s the coolest AI tool you’ve used lately?”) make it easy to dive in.

We meet in warm, independent cafés. In return for their hospitality, all we ask is that you grab a drink to show support.
🎯 Who Should Come
