How this report works

  • The data covers every rating logged in Jittr from May 22 through October 20, 2026, minus internal test accounts.
  • No names, usernames or account IDs are used. Any café, city or state with fewer than 5 ratings is grouped or left out, and states with 1 to 4 ratings show only as a range.
  • Averages here are simple means of 1 to 10 scores. Jittr's in-app rankings weight recent ratings more, so a café's rank in the app can differ from its average here.
  • The next report will cover November.
