For Coffee Shops
Claim Your Shop on Mocha Joe
Find your shop, tell us it is yours, and keep your hours, photos and menu right. Claiming is free and always will be.
How It Works
01
Find your shop
Search above. Most independent shops are already listed. If yours is not, you can add it and it goes through the same check.
02
Tell us it is yours
Send a claim from your shop page with a business email and a phone number. We check every claim by hand before granting access, usually within a couple of days.
03
Keep it current
Once it is yours you can edit your hours, photos, links and menu, and post where you are parked if you are a mobile cart.
What It Costs
Every plan includes everything in Claimed. Paid placement adds a labelled slot; it never changes what your listing can do.

Paid placement buys a labelled slot above a list. It never reorders the list itself. Your shop keeps the position it would have if you paid nothing, and appears there as well as in the slot.
Questions
- Does paying move me up the list?
- No. A paid plan adds a labelled slot above the list. The list itself is ordered the same way for everyone, and your shop sits in it exactly where it would sit if you paid nothing.
- Can I claim a shop I do not own?
- A claim needs a business email and a phone number, and an admin reads every one before granting access. If we cannot tell that you work there, we will ask.
- What happens if I cancel?
- The placement runs to the end of the period you have already paid for and is not charged again. Your listing, your photos and your reviews are untouched: only the slot stops.
- How does the Spotlight bid work?
- One shop per city holds Spotlight, and it goes to the highest bid at or above $40 a month. The round closes on the 25th of the month. Holding it once does not reserve it for next month.
- My shop is not listed at all.
- Add it. It goes through the same check as everything else on the site, and once it is approved you can claim it.
