Inspired by Yelp, cafFIEND is a minimalistic website about all things coffee-shop related. cafFIEND is dedicated to coffee enthusiasts, providing a platform to discover and review coffee shops nearby. Users can explore a curated selection of coffee establishments, read and write reviews, and learn info about crucial features for each cafe. The website aims to create a community of coffee lovers sharing their experiences and recommendations to help others find the perfect coffee spot wherever they go.

cafFIEND is implemented as a MERN stack, using MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js.

If you have access:

Use an API key from this document

Otherwise, create your own API key:

  2. Create a project and setup account (will ask for billing information, just fill it out it will be free).
  3. Select the project you want for this app.
  4. Fill out the dialog boxes and an API key should show up.
  5. Copy the API key.
  6. Make sure that the key is only restricted to the localhost website you open the app on (will show up when doing npm run run dev like "http://localhost:5173/searchresult")
