New app supports independent cafés and offers discounts at top coffee shops

Nipping out for a coffee is a popular lockdown activity, serving up the opportunity to get some fresh air while sipping on a delicious hot drink.

Fortunately for coffee lovers in Bristol there's a vast number of cafés across the city serving cracking cappuccinos and fantastic flat whites - many of which are staying open for takeaway throughout lockdown.

And a new app has been launched which not only directs people to great coffee shops nearby, but also entitles users to discounts at them.

RWRD was founded by school friends Miles Bailey and Tim Silbermann last year, with the aim of supporting independent businesses and helping people "discover better coffee".

Users of the app can earn rewards by visiting a café repeatedly, as it allows them to collect loyalty stamps at local coffee shops, removing the worry of losing a paper card.

To date the app has more than 275 venues signed up across the UK in a number of major cities including Bristol, London and Brighton.

Some of the Bristol cafés on the app include The Marmalade Cafe in Clifton, FLIP in Southville, Cafe Ding Dongs in Brislington and Perfecto Coffee on Gloucester Road.

It is also launching in Manchester, Scotland and Northern Ireland later this month.

The app has a rating of 4.4 / 5 on the Google Play store from 39 reviews and 4.6 on the App Store from 63 reviews.

RWRD can be downloaded for free on Google Play or the App Store.
