Happy Bones
Happy Bones is born in NZ. Founded in NY. When you travel 8,989 miles to open a coffee shop in New York City; you make sure it’s worth the trip. The islands of New Zealand are a long way from the island of Manhattan but that’s where the four founders of Happy Bones got serious about drinking, making and sharing some of the world’s best coffee. You may know New Zealand is famous for many things. You may not know that for over two decades it has also been home to one of the richest (and some would claim) obsessive coffee cultures in the world. With the launch of Happy Bones, Luke Harwood, Jason Woodside, Kirsten & Craig Nevill-Manning, the founding fathers (and mother) are bringing this passion for incredible coffee and inspiring art, design and music to the most exciting city in the world. For each of them, this is nothing short of a dream come true. They believe in ethics, from the grounds up. From beans sourced through Direct Trade to paying their employees a living wage; from recycling and composting everything they can to be always on the lookout for the most ethically sourced ingredients and suppliers. They do this because they believe the people who drink Happy Bones Coffee shouldn’t be the only ones feeling happy. Plus, they wanted to have a positive impact on the world since day one: they donate a percentage of their profits to Free Arts NYC, who provide “underserved children and families with a unique combination of educational arts and mentoring programs that help them to foster the self-confidence and resiliency needed to realize their fullest potential.”
