Number of Active Members: thousands!


Joining Fee:

Christian Cafe offers a free trial of almost all of the aspects available to paying members (excluding chat rooms) - this is fairly unique to dating sites, and a really good opportunity to check out all the features of the website you'd get if you did pay a subscription. The downside is, it only lasts a week (although you can extend this to ten days by posting your first photo).

  • The membership options, affectionately named after coffee-house fare, are as follows:
    • BISCOTTI - unlimited access for 2 weeks - $29.99
    • COFFEE - unlimited access for 1 month - $34.95 (saving you 46%)
    • CAFE LATTE - unlimited access for 3 months - $49.95 (saving you 74%)
    • MOCHA JAVA - unlimited access for 6 months - $79.95 (saving you 79%)
    • COFFEE COLLECTION - unlimited access for 12 months - $109.95 (saving you 86%)

You can pay by credit/debit card, PayPal, Western Union or check (the last two only if you are buying access for 3 months or more, however).

Features of Christian Cafe:.

Finding members of Christian Cafe to contact is easy, and there are six different ways to go about it:
  1. Quickmatch tool automatically matches you with someone based on your similar ages, locations, Christian faiths and type of relationship you're both looking for, then you send them mail.
  2. Search - the search facility can be as general or detailed as you like, and you can save the results of up to 5 searches and choose members to send mail to.
  3. Find out who's online and send them an instant message.
  4. Check out the hundreds of new members joining each week on the new members page and send them mail.
  5. Join other members in live chat rooms (only available to paying members).
  6. Search for a specific person's profile and send them mail.
The mail tool of Christian Cafe works very much like a simple online email account, and is easy to use.

Other features of Christian Cafe include:
  • Who's online tool - see everyone online, or just male or female members online, or everyone in your region who's online, or male or female in your region online.
  • Birthday list - see whose birthday it is today, and send them a birthday greeting - and expect to get a few yourself when it's your turn!
  • See who's viewed your profile.
  • Post and view photos.
  • Chat room.
  • Create a friends list and keep track of those members you want to talk to again, and see whether they're online or not.
  • Post prayers on the prayers message board.
  • Tips section including advice on how to optimize your profile so that you get maximum response, and a ProfileHelper tool to improve your profile.
  • Site features' tips section including advice on how to view larger photos, sort search result columns, understand different icons used by the site and generally get the maximum experience from Christian Cafe.
  • Very extensive, thorough and well-organized FAQ and Help sections for help on using the website.
  • An 'Ask Jim' section - articles by Christian Cafe pastor Jim about relationship advice and resources for single Christian adults,  and indepth discussion on the topics that affect Christians looking for love, such as how to relate your faith to your relationship.
  • Instant messaging service - have instant conversations with other online members. The only drawback to this service is that is contains ads (the rest of the site does not). Christian Cafe claim that the ads offset the cost of the instant messaging service, which is an upgrade from a previous 'quick messaging' system.
  • 'Send-a-wink' tool - similar to 'poking' on facebook ;-)
  • A link to Inkosi African safari tours for Christian singles - go on holiday and meet up with people you meet online!
  • Cool Links section including links to other Christian singles holiday organizers, and websites on everything from the trouble with dating non-Christians and advice on finding love online, to prayer support and Christian music.
  • Control your user experience - turn on or off certain options, notifications and features to customize your membership
  • Get free membership time by referring a friend - each friend who signs up because of you gets you 5 free days!
  • Post your first photo and get 3 free days!
  • Buy a gift membership for someone who you think needs a Christian Cafe membership in their life. You can even make the payment anonymous!

Editor's Verdict:

Christian Cafe is a very popular site, with hundreds and often thousands of new members joining each week from USA, UK, Canada, Australia and across the globe! Christian Cafe presents an enjoyable online dating experience in a super-stylish, individual setting with a great community feel. The layout is very attractive and easy to navigate. The joining fees may seem pricey at first compared to other Christian dating websites, but you can get free time by recommending friends to the site and uploading your first picture, and the superior service offered is easily worth the extra money.

Signing up is easy, and although it may seem daunting at first as there are lots of things to fill in and several questions to answer, you don't have to answer them all and can update your answers at any time. Maybe you don't want to answer any of the questions at first, but just have a look round the site and see the kind of thing that other members write on their profiles? Just leave the question fields blank when you sign up and write them in later. Or perhaps you know exactly how to explain yourself and how you want to come across to people viewing your profile, in which case go right ahead and get it all down first-time! The questions asked are quite thought-provoking, and members' answers to these questions provide a good insight into their personalities, so you can get a good general idea of someone before you even decide to contact them.

The search facility is fantastic, easily one of the best search facilities around, with the choice to search for very general characteristics, if you're not sure yet what exactly you're looking for in a potential partner, or very specific parameters such as denomination of faith, how involved members are in their church life, and even how much money they earn and what car they drive! One drawback is that you can't be that specific about region if you live outside the USA (within the USA you can search by state) - although the city each member lives in is listed on the search results (unless they've turned this option off).

Christian Cafe takes very seriously its responsibility to provide a safe online dating experience for its members - there's a section on safety, including the safety features available (block users, hide your city/location if you want, and change your username if you've rather thoughtlessly used your full name as your username!), and tips on how to protect yourself from scams. As soon as you sign up you receive a welcome message from the Christian Cafe staff, along with a message on safety in online dating. You have your own private mailbox, which works like a simple and easy online email account, which protects your anonymity, and conceals your email address - no one will be able to see your email address unless you give it to them.

The testimonials page is full of heartfelt thanks to Christian Cafe for its service from users who have found that special someone online, including lots of wedding photos! Clearly the success rate at Christian Cafe is very high. Browsing through the testimonials is an enjoyable and inspiring experience, and you can hope to one day submit your own testimonial when Christian Cafe brings you into contact with your own special someone!

The prayer message board is a feature unique to Christian Cafe - people literally write their prayers out for all to see. There are guidelines as to what is appropriate on the prayer board, and the moderators remove any unsuitable messages. This feature adds to the great community environment of Christian Cafe. Another unique feature is the ability to see who has viewed your page - although luckily you can also turn this option off if you don't want people knowing you've been checking them out!

Christian Cafe takes your faith very seriously, and understands that while some people have very specific denominations, others are still finding their way - and perhaps those still finding their feet in their Christianity will be helped by the supportive community at Christian Cafe.

The fact that Christian Cafe is not part of a larger group of online dating services means that the experience is more personal and indepth, although you may be concerned that there is no renowned brand-name to endorse the site - fear not, however, as Christian Cafe is professional and well-established, and highly-regarded for the care it takes of its members.

Overall, Christian Cafe is a great environment in which to meet new people of all denominations and from many different locations across the world. There is a light touch of humor and warmth to the site, but every member feels special and their desires are taken seriously by all. A great community in which to track down the soulmate you've been searching for - sign up for free today and see who's online in your area...
