It’s been ridiculously long since we’ve posted an update. There’s been a whirlwind of activity at Buunni Coffee, including a long search for space that brought us right back where we started and where we wanted to be all along! In an unexpected but fortunate turn of events, we recently finalized negotiations on 213 Pinehurst Avenue, New York, NY 10033.
So, it’s official! We hope to open Café Buunni late this summer and look forward to serving you fabulous Ethiopia inspired coffee, tea, espresso-based drinks, juices and smoothies as well as small selection of the highest quality food and snacks.
We’re looking for experienced baristas, cashiers and local food and baked goods vendors. If you have any suggestions or would like to apply, please email us at info@buunnicoffee.com.

We are looking forward to having you in our neighborhood!
Thank you!
Can’t wait for my new second home to open.
I am looking forward to your opening…
Please try to find a good baker, one who can make a muffin that will equal the quality of your coffee.
It often seems that the pastry offerings in many coffee boutiques is not so developed.
Best of luck and we will certainly stop in when you open!!!!
Very excited for a great coffeeshop to open up in the area. Very much needed. Looking forward to stopping in when you open!
WOW – a coffee shop selling Ethiopian Coffee!!

Welcome to the neighborhood! Enjoyed my first cup of delicious today. I will place an order for beans very soon.
Think Global. Shop Local.

What are your hours?
I hope you open late.
There are a LOT of teachers in the nabe who could use a non-Starbuck Cafe to grade papers . . .
I stopped in and liked the music.
Kind of reminds me of the old Soy Cafe on Greenwich Avenue in the Village. Sob. i miss that place.
Welcome to Washington Heights!
you are just what this neighborhood needed. Thank you.
Besides your excellent coffee, your pastry items, especially the croissant selections, are as good as anywhere I’ve had in the city, and definitely way above the average NYC coffee shop.
Would love to win the Brave collection so cool! Love your before and after photos it’s beautiful now!
