"When the owners of a drapery store along Fairfax were looking to offload their storefront and retire, Helina Zerfu and Eyob Tadesse took over the space and converted it into a restaurant and market in 2011. The couple, who met years earlier while working at Eyob’s uncle’s restaurant, Merkato, located two doors down, named it Buna, which means coffee in Amharic, one of the country’s primary languages." - Cathy Chaplin
