"This coffee shop now has four uptown locations, but the large, plant-filled one in Inwood is great for some espresso-fueled computer work, a catch-up with a friend, or an interaction with a barista who’ll treat you like an instant regular. All of the excellent coffee here comes from small growers in Ethiopia, where the husband-and-wife owners first met. The beans are then roasted in small batches and sold by the pound or ground for use in the shop’s espresso, macchiatos, and cold brew. They have pastries and more substantial food, like injera wraps filled with spicy lentils and vegetables. Buunni also hosts regular events, like community open mics, and many of them are at this location." - neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
