Cherry's Index

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

75

Strong

Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

About Proud Mary Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100

Proud Mary is widely recognized as a top-tier roaster, frequently mentioned alongside other industry leaders like Onyx and Tim Wendelboe. While customers often note that their "deluxe" pour-over menu and beans are expensive, they are generally considered high-quality and worth experiencing. Recent feedback includes a single report of inconsistent roast quality in a subscription, but this is balanced by their responsive customer service and a strong reputation for excellent cafe experiences in Portland and Austin.
