Review of Cafe Buunni

Cafe Buunni
Ranked #498 of 812 Quick Bites in New York City

Restaurant details
Neighbourhood: Washington Heights
Description: Savor a cup of coffee remarkably like the world's first. We believe in coffee that's bold, strong and dark - without being bitter. We also believe in growing and buying practices that are good for growers, for the planet and for the consumers. All of our coffees are certified organic and fair trade. Cafe Buunni features a community atmosphere, fabulous lattes, cappuccino, espresso, quality teas, sweet and savory snacks. Signature preparations like Ethiopian macchiato. Exceptional small-batch fresh-roasted whole bean coffee (ground to order) to take home. Independently and locally owned cafe.

Buunni is a neighborhood gem. The coffees are said to be excellent even by the fussiest coffee drinkers, and we buy bags of beans regularly even if we have to fight our way through the clog of mommies with mega-strollers and hipsters using free wifi at the communical table.

Superb coffee and a lovely atmosphere. Plus wonderful pastries locally homemade by a neighborhood baker. Please bring back the carrot muffins though. They were my all time favorites. Small, not too sweet, and full of real ingredients and flavor.

I love Cafe Buunni. It's a small, homey neighborhood coffee place with just the right vibe - communal table, window seat, bench out front, local art on the walls, people with laptops, people with books or newspapers, people with kids, people with dogs, people with friends, people alone. The coffee is great. I buy beans for home and have them ground there and a couple of times a week I treat myself to a coffee and sometimes a pastry to stay. The pastries are baked by a local baker and she walks them over and delivers them in person. It's the kind of place where you can strike up a conversation with a stranger or just hang out and read. Perfect.

Being from the Northwest, I cannot stand bad coffee. So it was with great pleasure I discovered this little shop when visiting Washington Heights recently. The place is tiny, but they use good beans and the baristas know their equipment and serve up a true espresso based drink. They are quick but don't rush your order, like it should be. So if you crave a good NW style coffee, this is the place!
