Our story
Cafe Dating is an independently owned company, established in 2009.
2009
Cafe Dating is founded by Swinn — then 45, single, and unable to find a dating site that felt genuine or good value. He set out to build one himself.
Since then
We've grown into a small network of UK dating sites, each built for a different way of meeting people — from romance and friendship to niche communities — all held to the same standard for quality and safety.
Today
We're UK based and offer our sites and apps mostly to English-speaking audiences, with some Spanish-language sites too. We work in partnership with a specialist technology provider who handles the backend, database and customer transactions securely, so your registration and payment details stay safe. We pride ourselves on the quality of what we offer, and on doing it ethically.
What we stand for
Every site in our network is held to the same bar: real members, honest moderation, and no compromise on the safety features that keep people protected. Read more on our Trust & Safety page.
