MPLS Coffee

MPLS Coffee is a comprehensive directory application that maps and displays all coffee shops in Minnesota, catering to coffee enthusiasts looking to explore local cafes. The platform includes a .Net Core MVC website for desktop users and a React Native mobile app for on-the-go access, featuring search functionalities, user reviews, location-based recommendations, and detailed shop profiles with hours, menus, and ratings. Users can filter shops by type, ambiance, or specialty brews, and the app integrates maps for navigation. Entirely vibe-coded with AI assistance, the project resulted in a functional but overengineered codebase, serving as a practical example of building niche local business directories. It runs efficiently on free hosting tiers, making it accessible for community use.
