What’s new.

A record of the changes we’ve published to make the guides easier to search, explore and use.

Version 2026.09.26.2

Smarter search and clearer guides

Search can find late-closing coffee shops, and the newest guide and place layouts match the coffee guide more closely.

  • Search understands questions about coffee shops open late and checks the listed hours before showing results.
  • Holiday market maps show identifiable venues and flag events whose location can change.
  • Place profiles link to their full guides. Save, itinerary, directions, and contact links now share the editorial underline style.
  • The guide collection and recently added guides use styling aligned with the coffee guide.
