"Buunni is a coffee shop that specializes in small-batch coffee beans from Ethiopia (where the owners are from). They have several locations in Washington Heights and Inwood: the one in Pinehurst has a communal table and a few counter seats inside, but the Inwood location is the largest. So if you’re looking for a calming space with plenty of seating and lots of natural light, come here. The coffee is truly special, and they have snacks, including Ethiopian wraps. They also often host evening events, in case you need to unwind after a long day." - sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore
"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
"This coffee shop now has four uptown locations—one on Broadway, one in Inwood, another inside the GWB Bus Terminal—but the tiny original on residential Pinehurst Avenue is great if you’re planning an afternoon in Fort Tryon Park. All of the 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 espressos, macchiatos, and cold brew. If you feel like taking a snack with you to go lie in the sun, grab one of their injera wraps, filled with spicy lentils and veggies." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim, nikko duren, matt tervooren
"The largest of this uptown coffee spot’s locations, this Broadway cafe has enough tables for you to meet with friends over a coffee, or even a light lunch or dinner. Place your order at the long counter, where you’ll find a large selection of drinks featuring the shop’s small-batch Ethiopian coffee, as well as things like smoothies, sandwiches, salads, and Ethiopian dishes including ful (fava beans prepared with berbere spice). And yes, there’s beer, wine, and cocktails, too." - willa moore, nikko duren, matt tervooren, the curious uptowner
