Speed Dating at Planted Cafe: Animal Lovers & Dog-Park Romantics

Find Your Match! - A Dating and Social Series for Everyone Hosted at our Plant-Powered Cafe and Wine Bar in Brooklyn.

Speed Dating Mashup Night at Planted Café

Four themes. One room. Real connections.

Join us for a high-energy Speed Dating Mashup Night at Planted Café — a fun, social evening designed to spark genuine connections in a relaxed, welcoming space.

This event features multiple themed sign-up tracks happening together on the same night. While guests select a theme when registering, everyone participates together in the full rotation. The themes are designed as conversation starters — not boundaries.

The magic happens when you stay open.

THEMED SIGN-UP TRACKS

When registering, you’ll choose one of the following interest tracks:

🐾 Animal Lovers & Dog-Park Romantics

For proud pet parents, dog-park regulars, cat cuddlers, and anyone who melts at puppy eyes. Meet fellow animal lovers who believe the best relationships include long walks, cozy couch snuggles, and maybe a future shared pet.

⭐ Open / No Specific Theme

Perfect for first-timers or anyone who prefers a classic speed-dating experience without a specific niche.

🐆 Cougars & Cubs

For those open to age-diverse dating, confident connections, and playful chemistry across generations

🎮 Gamers, Geeks & Pop Culture Fanatics

For lovers of gaming, sci-fi, fantasy, comics, tech, trivia, fandoms, and all things nerd-adjacent.

Guests will receive a visible color identifier at check-in reflecting their selected theme.

EVENT FORMAT

STAY FOR OPEN MIC NIGHT 🎤

After speed dating wraps, the night continues.
