Vote for your favourite specialty cafes in European Coffee Trip Awards 2025 – our goal is to recognise outstanding specialty coffee shops across Europe.
- ⏰ September 9 – October 9, 2025
- 📍 All specialty cafes listed in our guides & apps
- 📲 Vote exclusively in our Mobile Apps (iOS and Android)
It’s exciting to watch how the number of places serving specialty coffee in Europe is growing every year. Being listed in our guides already recognises the quality, as we manually review every cafe. Still, we want to allow European Coffee Trip users to share their favourites to reward their efforts.
HOW TO VOTE IN THE APP?
- Download or update our Mobile App on App Store or Google Play,
- Open the Awards tab in the app menu,
- Pick 1-3 specialty cafes you want to submit the vote with your email address,
- Confirm your email address to make the vote count!
3 SIMPLE RULES:
- Any speciality cafe featured in our guides is automatically eligible to collect votes.
- People can vote for their favourite specialty cafes exclusively through the European Coffee Trip mobile app during the voting period (September 9th – October 9th, 2025).
- People can submit their votes only once, they can pick 1-3 specialty cafes to vote for (each vote has equal value) and they need to validate their vote through email address. Only one vote per mobile device is allowed (we will disqualify duplicates).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1 – My favourite cafe isn’t listed in the app; what can I do?
We do our best to keep the list updated with the community recommendations. Still, it’s a manual review process that takes time. Right now, the best you can do is to ask your favourite speciality cafe to submit their location. We will do our best to speed up the review process during this period.
2 – How do you prevent users from cheating?
Hosting the voting in our Mobile App gives us better control over the submission process. Every vote is verified through a unique email address and device number. Only one vote per mobile device is permitted.
3 – I can’t see Awards in the app on my phone!
The most likely reason is that you haven’t updated the mobile app recently. We added Awards feature in the last update just a week before the competition. Go to App Store or Google Play and check it out.
4 – How can I promote my specialty cafe in the Awards?
We made printable and sharable assets & tamplates to make it easier for cafe managers and baristas to invite people to vote. Feel free to use and adjust all the assets we created. Get the Awards Promotion Kit!
