Founded by a New Zealander and an artist, the café is mainly inspired by New Zealand coffee culture.When I walked into Happy Bones, there were no free seats and two people ahead were ahead of me in line. Its location in Little Italy is prime for shopping and café hopping – you can spend an entire day in the vicinity. Popular cafes and dessert shops (Cha Cha Matcha, Milk and Cream) can be found within walkable distances from one another and just right next to Little Italy is the fancy shopping district of Soho. The space, though tiny with just three marble tables available for seating, is bright and airy thanks to the exposed white brick walls, semi-industrial concept and minimal décor.
We were lucky enough to grab an empty table (my New Yorker friend said she finds it hard to find one here). We ordered a Latte (USD4.5, SGD6) and Cappuccino (USD4, SGD5.50), and had some pastries to go with our coffee.
Taste-wise, the coffee here was just right for me – medium-bodied and not too acidic. The coffee here is made with beans from Counter Culture – you can also purchase the beans here, along with some merchandise on sale.

It may also include abstaining from eating all by-products of animal slaughter. Vegetarianism may be adopted for various reasons. Many people object to eating meat out of respect for sentient animal life. Such ethical motivations have been codified under various religious beliefs as well as animal rights advocacy. Other motivations for vegetarianism are health-related, political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic, economic, taste-related, or relate to other personal preferences. Preference for vegetarian foods can also be linked to one's own socio-economic status and evolutionary factors.
There are many variations of the vegetarian diet: an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and a lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs. As the strictest of vegetarian diets, a vegan diet excludes all animal products, including eggs and dairy (and even extends to abstain the use of any animal derived product). Maintenance of a vegetarian diet can be challenging. While avoidance of animal products may support health and ethical concerns, dietary supplements may be needed to prevent nutritional deficiency if all such products are shunned, particularly for vitamin B12. Packaged and processed foods may contain minor quantities of animal ingredients. While some vegetarians scrutinize product labels for such ingredients, others do not object to consuming them, or are unaware of their presence. The first written use of the term "vegetarian" originated in the early 19th century, when authors referred to a vegetable regimen diet. Modern dictionaries explain its origin as a compound of vegetable ( adjective) and the suffix -arian (in the sense of agrarian). The term was popularized with the foundation of the Vegetarian Society in Manchester in 1847, although it may have appeared in print before 1847. The earliest occurrences of the term seem to be related to Alcott House-a school on the north side of Ham Common, London-which was opened in July 1838 by James Pierrepont Greaves. From 1841, it was known as A Concordium, or Industry Harmony College, from which time the institution began to publish its own pamphlet entitled The Healthian, which provides some of the earliest appearances of the term "vegetarian".
