"Directly next door to Merkato is another market and restaurant, Buna. It opens at 9:30am—the earliest in the neighborhood—making it a natural fit for breakfast. There are a handful of tables inside, but we like sitting out on the sidewalk where you get a front-row seat to nearby markets unloading produce and people walking around, all while scarfing down platters of scrambled eggs and timatim fitfit. They also offer a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony where beans are roasted in a pan and passed around the table for everyone to smell, then ground and brewed in a jebena." - Brant Cox
