HOW IT WORKS
COFFEE CLUB
FAQ
Coffee Club is our way of making it easier to meet new people and have conversations that go beyond the surface. Each gathering brings a small group together over coffee, puts phones away, and uses our Cultivating Conversations deck to help everyone get to know each other a little more honestly.
Local Coffee Club brings our Cultvating Conversation Coffee Club concept into more communities by putting the table in the hands of local hosts. One host gathers up to seven guests at a neighborhood coffee shop for a smaller, more intimate version of the experience.
Our original brand-led Coffee Clubs are the larger experiences Wilde House hosts in major cities. These gatherings typically bring together 12 guests and include more elevated elements like a coffee included with your ticket and special brand offerings.
Brand-led Coffee Clubs will return in 2027. Until then, Local Coffee Club is how we’re bringing more tables to more cities.
Your ticket includes the exclusive Club Tote, an Open Journal in Espresso and a Reflection Pen (and priceless friendships).

This is a community-led club, which means we select inspiring individuals from each city to host. If you’re interested in leading a Local Coffee Club, you can learn more to apply. We will be in touch if you've been accepted.
We are accepting host applications on a rolling basis and we release new clubs every Monday, starting on October 5th.
Absolutely. Most guests come on their own. Our Cultivating Conversations Coffee Club is designed to make meeting new people feel easy, with a host there to welcome you, guide introductions, and lead the conversation.
Each Local Coffee Club has a maximum of 8 people total: 1 host + 7 guests. We keep the groups intentionally small so there’s space for everyone to actually talk, connect, and get to know one another.
For our brand-led Coffee Clubs, we open up the table to 12 people total: 1 host + 11 guests.
The Idea Behind the Club
I started the Cultivating Conversations Coffee Club in the Summer of 2024 because I was craving more real, in-person connection, and I kept hearing the same from our community.
Making meaningful friendships as an adult can be hard. Our lives change, and sometimes we want to meet people who understand the version of us that exists today.
Coffee Club became a simple way to create that opening: a group of strangers, coffee in hand, phones away, using our Cultivating Conversations Card Deck to get past the small talk.
Since then, we’ve brought Coffee Club to more than 30 major cities and watched women arrive knowing no one and leave exchanging numbers, lingering longer, and realizing how much they have in common.
My hope for the club is more tables, more cities, and more chances to meet someone you may never have found otherwise!
