March 2023 UPDATED REVIEW: I still rave about this place all the time. The food is just so satisfying to me. From the variations of Ethiopian cuisine to the classic pastries you'd find at any good coffee shop, to the coffee itself. I really really love the Breakfast Bowl, as well as the Cinnamon Bun and, now, the Marble Cake Slice. Added additional photos. Very much recommend trying this place. Also, I've noticed the past few times that I've gone in the morning, the place is pretty filled: people reading books or working on laptops or chatting with others at tables inside. It's definitely a popular spot, and for good reason, I think.
Original review: I rave about this place a lot to my coworkers. It's so delicious! If you like Ethiopian cuisine amd coffee shops, it's hard not to enjoy Buna Coffeehouse. I've been a few times before work and haven't ventured beyond my usual yet: the Breakfast Bowl, a Dark Roast Coffee to go, and a Cinnamon Bun.
The Breakfast Bowl features Ethiopian style flavors, with a choice of meat (I get beef), grains, veggies, eggs, etc. It's absolutely delicious, hot, and fulfilling. I highly recommend it if you're hungry 👌
The Cinnamon Roll isn't baked there (I asked), but it was served to me hot and tasty. Wasn't overly sweet, and great to have after a Breakfast Bowl. It's also hard not to be tempted by their pastries, as they're displayed right at the counter and visible as soon as you walk in.
Their drip coffee is self-serve at the end of the counter, with a choice between dark and medium. They brew it well and it tastes great. It's a coffee shop, too, remember, so you do have a wide array of options like Macchiato, Cappuccino, Espresso, etc. I'll have to try next time!
They also sell some merch and other Ethiopian themed things like mugs, hats, shirts, etc. Also picked up some Injera chips last I visited which, if you haven't tried them, are ADDICTING! Chef's kiss.
The people behind the counter are friendly and it usually takes about 10-15 minutes to receive my order. The shop itself is small, with only a few small tables inside for dining in and some tables outside on a patio.
Overall, if you're stopping by and want great food and coffee, I highly recommend...

Read moreThis is my favorite coffeehouse in Petworth. The nitro cold brew is perfectly balanced with no need to add cream or sugar. I’m not much of an iced coffee person but I keep coming back for it because it’s so enjoyable. The vegan rolls make for wonderful anytime light meal or snack. The breakfast bowl is packed with flavor and so generously portioned that I can get two meals out of it.
This morning the shop was busier than I’ve seen it in a while. I ordered six vegan rolls and waited a little longer than usual but thought nothing of it due to the volume of customers. Upon receiving my order I also received an apology for the wait. When I opened the box I found three extra rolls inside. The quality of the products and the quality of service is a true joy!...
