“Super cute neighborhood spot.”
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.

Perfect cozy spot to do a little work or warm up from a walk in Ft. Tyron Park. Very nice staff and steamed cider! I've never had that before and it was delicious. Also, all Ethiopian beans, which are my favorite.

The coffee is good and the compostable cups are great, but it's the locally made baked goods and Peoples Pops that keep us coming back. Yum!

Busy coffee shop in Hudson Heights. Not much room to sit and relax, but very good coffee and nice flavored simple syrups to spice up your drab latte. Highly recommended on your way to Ft. Tryon.

Tasty coffee and pastries, and a very cute coffee shop. Baristas are friendly and always greet you with a smile. Great coffee shop.

This is not just a local coffee shop, but also a creditable alternative to the Corporate Coffee Behemoth.

That said, the prices on some items are even higher than Starbucks, and comfortable seating is scarce (the space is just too small). The staff was never particularly friendly, though I used to visit them regularly.

For indifferent service and uncomfortable chairs, I'd just as soon go to the Jewish bakery around the corner - at least it's cheap.
