Coffee Meets Bagel was created by three sisters: Arum, Dawoon, and Soo Kang. The site was launched in New York City on April 17, 2012.

It formerly differed from its competitors by limiting the amount of profiles users interact with per day. A user used to be able contact one new person through the site per day, however as of 10/2015 they supply users with 'Boneyard Bagels' of undetermined quantity and using anonymous SMS to link users who indicate interest in each other. Anonymous SMS is no longer employed, and now they have their own messaging system.

Coffee Meets Bagel uses users' Facebook account information to help identify potential matches. People are exposed to at least one match per day, but can only contact their matches if they "Like" them and their matches "Like" them back.

Weekly, Coffee Meets bagel creates over 650 real connections between couples. The website offers the stories of real life matches, and how the app has significantly improved their lives.
