Livvie Van Lanen founded the wknd coffee club after a spark of inspiration at the World Happiness Summit, where she discovered that the happiest people share not just meals, but meaningful moments together. A PhD student in Happiness Studies with a Master’s in the same field—and an enduring love for coffee, connection, and creativity—she launched the club in spring 2025 as an effortless way to brew new friendships: warm conversations, genuine company, and exceptional coffee in the DFW metroplex.
