Sovereign Associates is excited to announce a brand new partnership with Buunni Coffee. We’ve expressed our admiration for this delicious Ethiopian coffee shop before on our blog (go back and check out the post from this past April!), and are looking forward to further supporting this wonderful business.

Buunni Coffee recently partnered with Bread and Yoga and Zena Group in a Kickstarter to raise funds for a live performance space. They successfully raised their goal of $26,820 of their $25,000 goal with 398 backers just a month ago! The Buunni Performance Space will present live performance (music and theater), artwork (fine art and photography), literature (readings and poetry) and social justice and wellness programming (lectures and workshops), with the mission to serve the diverse community of upper Manhattan. They plan on showcasing local talent, providing world-class entertainment and sharing transformational ideas thus making the brand new Buunni Performance Space a go to spot in New York City!

Sovereign’s donation will go to a performer’s fund to support the local artists and musicians sharing their art and talents in the Buunni Performance Space. We hope you’ll come out and enjoy a great night out at the Buunni Performance Space this fall and support the local community and artists.

Coffee is loved around the world, but despite its universal existence, different countries like to make it in lots of different ways. Buunni Coffee is bringing Ethiopian coffee traditions to our neck of the woods. From the outside, it doesn’t like much, but inside it is the cutest little café. You can order from the counter and take it to go, sit at a bench outside, or grab a seat inside if there are any free. One of the fun things about Buunni is that inside, instead of separate tables, they have one big community table where you can sit and do work or just relax.

 A fan favorite at this little shop is the Ethiopian macchiato. It is made with beans sourced from Ethiopia, the birth place of coffee. They micro roast the coffee to make each cup stronger and tastier since it is made in smaller groups with exact specifications to ensure higher quality taste.  The food is also delicious and the baked goods are made by local bakers. Most of whom are located within a 10-block radius of the café.

The owners are extremely friendly and the husband is a native of Ethiopia so you know that you are truly getting the good stuff. They also put a lot of time and effort into making the café comfortable, clean, and a great place to grab a treat. Lucky for us all, Buunni Coffee has several locations in New York. You can find this special café on Pinehurst Ave, Riverdale Ave, on Broadway, and a location coming soon at the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal!

Address: 213 Pinehurst Ave. New York, NY 10033 + several other locations!
