Iced Matcha
Kaya A.

Büna is a wonderful perfect vibe. It's a quick service Ethiopian breakfast spot. When you walk in, you just feel the provisions they have been providing to the Petworth neighborhood for years. The drinks are delicious and the food is hearty, they don't skimp you out on portion sizes... as you can see with the brunch platter. They do other cafe classics as well like bagels and toasts. I always appreciate cafes that feel stuck in the 2000s. Büna definitely gives this vibe with their mismatched furniture and inspirational art. It's a comfort I always look for when I enjoy my morning coffee.

A big part of D.C. is the Ethiopian community and Buna Coffeehouse is one of several Ethiopian cafes in the city. This one is beloved by the neighborhood. Service is always on point and the space inviting. I enjoyed my iced latte. It's most strong and darker than I'm used to, but I really enjoyed it with a splash of simple syrup from the condiment bar. To eat, they sell bagels, sandwiches, and more. Popping in for breakfast, I ordered a chocolate chip muffin. It comes full of little chocolate chips, but it was very dry. I recommend asking it to be warmed up beforehand.

Vegan Platter

Delicious vegan Ethiopian food. I had the vegan platter and the flavors of everything were most definitely on point. The matcha latte with oat milk was also delicious. Although I got mine to go, it seems like it's a great place to get some work or writing done.

Come here often but just writing another review since my friends from out of town came here and loved it as well. Favorite spot in DC!

Habesha eggs
Dahabina O.

My mom lives around the corner so the back solo table is my new remote outdoor spot. Good food I had a smoothie, habesha eggs and a cappuccino I recommend all 3. My case manager had tibs her first habesha dish and she loved it. Ideal for work meetings and remote work. Best café in the area for day work.

Inside

A Petworth gem that is not to be missed! Possibly my favorite of DC's many Ethiopian coffee shops and cafes. It's small inside but they've got a lot of outdoor seating. Solid coffee (I usually get iced coffee or a hot latte with oat milk) and even better food--American, Ethiopian, and fusion options for breakfast and lunch. I especially love the veggie roll-ups, such an ingenious way to transform the typical injera platter into an on-the-go takeout meal. The vegan options are stellar as well. I highly recommend the Ethiopic bowl and the vegan kitfo sandwich, they're so well spiced and satisfying!

Outdoor patio - perfect for bikers

Amazing food, drinks, service, and atmosphere! We tried one of their bowls and the avocado toast - both completely delicious and vegan. The coffee drinks are to die for. Highly recommend for vegans.

This is always a reliable spot to grab a coffee, pasty, or a sandwich or some yummy Ethiopian food. The seating inside and out is super cute. The staff are amazing. It has a great community feel to it. Check out the community board for fun offerings in the neighborhood.

Caramel Frappe
LaKisha B.

Breakfast on my mind! I was super hungry and didn't want to cook so I searched online for a restaurant that makes Lox bagels. I came across this coffeehouse and saw that they had really good reviews and what I wanted. Ordered the Lox bagel on sesame and a caramel frappe. The bagel sandwich was delightful. Good amount of salmon, cucumbers tomatoes and onions. Just what your girl needed! The frappe was cool but there wasn't much of it considering the size that it came in. I'll have to give it another try. I placed my order through DoorDash and will say that everything traveled well. That's extremely important for me when I place orders via food delivery apps. Definitely a place that I recommend!

I recently moved to the neighborhood and am less than 5 mins from this spot. My former coworker and I met up here a few weeks ago bc she also lives in Petworth just a bit further north. I had the breakfast bowl -- BIG portion; the tibs had great flavor and every bite was different - a little egg, a little guacamole, a little grain. I had to come back and try the avocado toast with turmeric goldenkraut and it didn't disappoint. If you don't like spicy things, the kraut has a bit of a kick I wasn't expecting! Got the chai both times - yum! Hits the spot The space is bigger than it looks from the outside -- 3 or so tables in the back, 3 in the front, a bar space AND an outdoor patio with three tables.

I stopped here after an appointment to grab a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. To start,…read morethe employee working on that day was so incredibly helpful. It was Friday early afternoon. She immediately greeted me as soon as I walked in and then went over all their options with me. They do open face sandwiches but she said any can be made into a regular sandwich. She gave me recommendations as well. I decided to go with the chicken open face sandwich but as a regular sandwich and the sea salt caramel latte to go. The latte was really good and was not weak. I ate the sandwich when I got home and it was also very good. The chicken and sumac onions were delicious! The place has plenty seating if you want to just work and drink coffee or order full meals with friends. There is also a good size patio in the front. It's definitely a nice addition to the area.

We enjoyed our morning at Yours Cafe, right before we walked up the street to the zoo. We love that…read morethey had their own coffee bean grinder in the back! The coffee was for sure a stand out. We each got the espresso with whipped cream. Heads up, for a coffee focused place the cream was definitely out of a can. But the coffee itself was amazing. For food we got a pistachio beignet, and a chocolate and pistachio croissant. The beignet is definitely not a beignet- it was a bit more bread like, though it still tasted good. And the pistachio cream, though delicious, was so runny. The croissant was good but also had the same pistachio cream issue. It dripped out. For food I had the bacon flaming tart, which tasted amazing! One thing to note- the menu says capers, but it's scallions. That was a welcomed error, since I love scallions! We also got drinks, and I enjoyed my pistachio beverage. Overall, I'd say out of the options nearest the zoo, this is one of the best.
