Laughing Man Cafe

"Years ago, Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborah-Lee Furness traveled to Ethiopia during a World Vision trip and he happened to meet a coffee farmer named Dukale, who was growing incredible beans in an effort to support his struggling family. In 2011, Jackman started the Laughing Man Foundation, to help farmers in developing countries find a market for their beans in America, which you can sample at his Tribeca coffee shop. Not only do 100% of the profits support the foundation, but they make an excellent Flat White, too."

Hugh Jackman Brings His Coffee Shop to Austin for SXSW | Eater Austin

"During SXSW I learned that Hugh Jackman’s Laughing Man Cafe was staged as a weeklong pop-up serving brewed coffees and flat whites (no food planned) and featuring a K-cup wall with Laughing Man’s coffees so people can brew on the spot or take some home; it was scheduled to be open Monday, March 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Tuesday–Friday, March 13–16 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Jackman was set to appear on March 12 for a discussion panel from 2:00 to 2:45 p.m. to talk about the cafe’s social mission. I noted that Jackman opened the New York shop in 2011 with Barry and David Steingard, who run the café, and that Laughing Man operates with a focus on charitable outreach and educational initiatives, donating partial sales to the Laughing Man Foundation to help coffee farms around the world." - Nadia Chaudhury
