Happy Bones - Nolita

            Happy Bones is an Australian owned coffee shop located in Nolita. Happy Bones was opened in winter of 2013 and its interesting name made people want to check this place out. The decor of this place is very minimalist. Everything is white in the cafe and it is a very small coffee shop that only has three tables. Happy Bones also carries magazine like Kinfolk, Surface Magazine and books from local artists. The location of Happy Bones is perfect because the neighborhood has very high traffic and people always walk past Broome street after or before shopping in Soho. Perfect for a cup of hot latte before shopping or a cup of iced coffee after shopping in the summer to cool down.

            Happy Bones serves coffee from Counter Culture. Counter Culture is a roaster based in Durham, North Carolina, counter culture is a very popular roaster in the northeastern area(especially in New York City). The training lab of Counter Culture is located few stores away from Happy Bones. When Happy Bones was first opened, they used to serve their coffee with a leopard print spoon, but they stopped doing so because people kept stealing them. However, that does not affect the quality of their coffee. The most ordered drink at Happy Bones is probably the cortado. Cortado is a drink with an equal amount of espresso and steamed milk usually served in a glass cup. Happy Bones makes exceptional cortados and it is definitely my favorite too. Besides coffee, Happy Bones has donuts from Dough Doughnuts, cookies from Ovenly, and they sometimes carry Balthazaar pastries as well. All of the snacks and sweets they carry always go with any coffee drink you can order, but my favorite has to be the Dough donuts and cookies from Ovenly.
