But here’s the million-dollar question: Is Coffee Meets Bagel any good, or should you just use Bumble or Hinge? This Coffee Meets Bagel review will tell you everything you need to know about the famous dating app so you can determine if it’s right for you.
All About The Bagels:
Suggested and Explore are the two main parts where you can search profiles on Coffee Meets Bagel.
Suggestions for Bagels:
This feed will show you all of the ‘bagels’ that CMB’s algorithm has generated for the day. Men receive up to 21 bagels each day at noon, which they can either “Like,” “Pass,” or “Priority Like” instead of swiping. A Tinder Super Like is close to a Priority Like. It will get you noticed 6x faster, according to CMB. It costs 540 beans each time you use it – more on that later. When you “want” a profile, you can also choose to send a message at the same time. This, according to CMB, increases the odds of the Bagel “liking” you back by 25%. By spending 250 Beans, you can also unlock more Bagels. Bagels that meet the women’s requirements and have already been “liked” are introduced to them. The app’s creators believe that “men love selection and women are selective,” which has helped CMB gain a female following. They outnumber men 60:40, which inspired #LadiesChoice, the app’s most recent version. Gender, age, height, distance, race, and religion are the only criteria used to select Suggested Bagels.

Discover Bagels:
You can look through the profiles of users that meet the requirements you set in your search filters in this feed. With two exceptions, these advanced filters are the same as your key Bagel preferences. You can look for people based on their educational history and whether or not they’ve used the dating app in the previous 72 hours
If you don’t already have an account, you can “like” the profile by tapping the orange heart:
When you “want” a bagel in the Discover segment, it’s referred to as a “Take,” and it necessitates the expenditure of beans (typically around 385 each time). Premium members will “take” up to 8 bagels a day without having to spend beans. Your profile will appear in their Discover section with a note stating that you liked them. There’s even a feed where you can see all of the Bagels that have already Liked you, but that’s only available to CMB members.

More Beans, More Bagels:
Earn free beans by consistently using the site, encouraging friends to use the app, posting on social media, and completing tasks such as filling out your CMB profile or getting input on why you passed on a particular match. Beans that have been given away can be used in the same way that beans that have been bought can.
