Renton’s Boon Boona Will Open a Second Location in Capitol Hill | Eater Seattle

"At the large Renton roastery, which opened in 2018, I found a popular spot for made-to-order espresso and lattes that also served as a gathering space for local musicians and artists before the pandemic. Efrem Fesaha developed the roastery by sourcing and selling green coffee from Ethiopia and establishing partnerships with farms in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya and other African countries, with a focus on supporting woman-owned growers. The retail operation has since expanded beyond the roastery, producing seasonal drinks (including the berbere latte and chicory-flavored syrup made on site) and supplying other cafes." - Gabe Guarente
