I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

I'm glad I found it, and glad for the friends and acquaintances I have made. Now I have people to go and hike with, play poker, go to New Year's parties, and game with, thanks to Timeleft.

Questions about Timeleft in Oakland
How can I meet new friends in Oakland?
Timeleft matches you with four to six people for dinner or coffee in Oakland, based on your interests, personality and language. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and before the event, the app tells you where to go.
When are Timeleft events in Oakland?
There's dinner every Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 pm and coffee every Saturday at 11:00 am. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts.
Where in Oakland do they happen?
At restaurants and cafés across Oakland. The app shows the exact venue before the event.
How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Oakland?
To book, you need a Timeleft subscription. Food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. Subscription prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and our safety guidelines cover the rest. The guide to your first dinner walks through it step by step.
Is Timeleft a dating app?
No. There are no profiles to swipe through, and nobody gets paired off. You meet four to six people at once, in person.
What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. Nearly every restaurant we use in Oakland has vegetarian dishes, and most have vegan ones too. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
Is Timeleft in other cities in the US?
Yes. You'll also find Timeleft in NYC, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington, DC. See every location.
