# Who Are We?

We've been meeting up for coffee at different locations in Bellevue since the spring of 2022. While there are a few of us who are enthusiasts/experts about coffee itself, most of our attendees are here because we really just enjoy having relaxed, laid-back conversations with new friends. Everyone is welcome here - we've had a blast meeting people of all different ages, cultures, and backgrounds. Believe it or not, there are even a few people who don't drink coffee at all!

As for scheduling, our meetups have so far been happening exclusively on Sunday mornings at **10 AM,** typically lasting until **11:30-12 PM**. We're open to other ideas, but here's the format we've been following so far (we alternate each week):

1. **Rotating Coffee Crawl:** In this format we rotate between a handful of smaller coffee shops in the Downtown Bellevue area. Since these shops tend to have a limited capacity, these meetups will have an RSVP limit.
2. **Dote Meetups:** In this format we meet at Dote Coffee in Lincoln Square. This space has a large food court seating area adjacent to the coffee shop itself, so it's convenient for larger groups. For these meetups there is no RSVP limit.
