If you love Ethiopian coffee then this place is for you! Yes there is free wi-fi but seating is limited. My shot was a touch short. My only gripe is that they served my espresso in a paper cup.

My new neighborhood coffee shop! Great for coffee if you're in Hudson Heights, right by the adorable little triangle park on Cabrini.

This is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop! Independent, local, small and family owned shop. Ethiopian coffee--hazelnut latte is my personal fave.

The feta and scallion scone is delish! The staff is really nice, despite being busy. Yummy coffee. Not much seating but the park is right nearby!

Great coffee and friendly staff! It can be tough to find a seat sometimes though, so be prepared to get something to go.

Got the tip from a sophisticated coffee drinker. She says Buunni is the best she found in NY. Applause for their quality! I tried the etopian macchiato.

Small and friendly. Best ice chai latte I've ever had.

Great espresso and the only real cafe in the neighborhood (Starbucks doesn't count). Beware: wifi costs extra and there is very limited seating.

Fantastic coffee place in the Heights with self roasted Ethiopian beans and even pour over coffee.

The staff did seem a bit cold, and it’s really expensive. Great iced latte tho, had a feeling it would problematize my thinking this place is wholly lame

Great chai latte($3.25). Limited space, but they have free WiFi.

Staff is unnecessarily rude and snippy the last several times I've been in here. The coffee is amazing but I've started going to Starbucks more often because I'm treated like a valued customer there.

Good coffee from Ethiopia, amazing cheddar scones, interesting cookies...Neighborhood gem!

Good black coffee, tiny space, wifi available with a code you receive on your reciept. Quiet, clean.

The coffee and pastries are good. It's a small place, but there are some benches outside too.

Buunni never turns on the AC, charges extra for everything but cream and milk, and the team is grumpy. Walk a little further to Kuro Kirin for better service, coffee and AC.

The coffee is delicious and for a refreshing snack try one of the People's Pops!

Olive oil cake is delicious and not too sweet

Try the Bunna Special. A little slice of espresso heaven.

The cheddar scone is so flaky! Great cafe latte.

They make espresso shots a bit short. If you want a bit more, order long
Alex AlbertSeptember 15, 2020
Eh it’s a bit pricey for the teeny tiny chai latte I ordered. It was good but I swear it seemed like it was half a cup and I was done.

No restroom, but there is one in a nearby park, Bennett Park.
