It’s no secret to those who know me: I love coffee. My early adult years were spent slinging specialized espresso shots on top of a hill in the coffee capital of the country: Seattle. And yes, to this day, I’m still proud of it.
So when an artist stakes their reputation on a venture into the coffee space, I know I have to try it. Many of us know Green Day. I was quite surprised to see that they had started a coffee company of their own. And from there, I will share their story…
In 2023, the band decided to create a new coffee brand that would take things to the next level. They kept the coffee’s based where they’re from: Oakland. It’s also worth noting that the band members wanted more control over their roasts and the final product. That fall, the guys landed on their iconic Bunny as the face of the brand and Punk Bunny Coffee was born.
Billie Joe Armstrong commented on the company’s launch:
I’m stoked to be an owner of a very cool specialty coffee roasting company here in the U.S. And grateful for our co-owners and the amazing people who help us blend badass coffee, just how we like it. It’s going to be a big year for Green Day. We’ll be playing shows across the globe and Punk Bunny coffee will be fueling the way, backstage and on our busses.

We tried out some of the some of their coffees over stream in a live unboxing. From the clear visuals and branding to the in your face flavors that “made our hare stand up,” we were impressed.
