Buunni Coffee - Pinehurst: Reviews & Ratings
What a darling little coffee shop with its own roasted beans and views to enthrall! One tiny block away from gorgeous river views on a perfect autumn afternoon had me reevaluating my plans. I canceled those plans to stay longer in this wonderful part of New York, so unlike the rest of city- quaint calm with Dutch architecture, river and GWB views and just an overall niceness, sipping my chai and just enjoying these outdoor moments. It was worth it. As November, outside moments like these, free of coats and boots and gloves will be rare. I am thrilled to have discovered Buuni, which encouraged me to stay uptown and enjoy the tastes, sounds and sights of Washington Heights. Thank you for these moments of love and gratitude
My friend and I traveled all the way from Brooklyn to experience authentic Ethiopian coffee, and Noah made our visit unforgettable! We were unsure about what to order, but he went above and beyond to guide us and ensure we tasted the very best this place has to offer. His knowledge, patience, and attentiveness truly elevated our experience. Noah is an absolute gem—what a treasure for this establishment!
Love this coffee shop! The coffee is consistently amazing (seriously some of the best I’ve had). Super chill vibe, great music, and friendly staff :) Great place to meet up with friends, or just grab a quick cup, it never disappoints. Definitely my go-to spot!
Buunni Coffee, located on Pinehurst Avenue, is so adorable! I recently came to visit to grab an afternoon coffee and stayed to do some work on my laptop. The staff are really kind & efficient, my vanilla latte came out quickly and tasted delicious! The store patrons I ran into were really nice as well - we all did some shuffling at the one large table they have inside so everyone who came in groups could sit by one another. For a small shop, the place is pretty accommodating for people to be able to work inside while having their coffee bite to eat. My only complaint is that it can get a little chilly inside when it's cold out because a rush of icy air busts in each time someone opens the door to enter/exit. Just something to be aware of when you come visit, particularly if you plan to stay & enjoy your coffee. I'm sure during the warmer months, the breeze is welcome. Regardless of this tiny con, this place is 100% worth a visit with all of the pros in mind. :-) Quickly, on a final note: if the cold air is something you're worried about during the winter months, they also have a little covered patio out front, which I believe is heated! There is a cute book exchange located out front as well. Enjoy!
Our favorite local coffee that has a married couple as the owners. They are those rare people with hearts of gold trying to improve their community. The coffee is phenomenal- the Sidamo is my favorite and even when we moved away, we get it auto delivered from their website.
Easily one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had. Service was great. Looked like a cute coffee shop as well, although we got ours to go. Highly recommend!
Clean space, friendly staff. Such a neighborhood gem! When I recently went, they were doing a collab with WordUp Bookstore. Community matters here. Highly rec this coffee shop! Their tea is delicious and they have some vegan and gf treats too
Wonderful neighborhood spot where people and dogs meet up. Although extremely small and tight, people will make room for you at the table or spread out to one of the benches or chairs outside. The coffee? EXCELLENT!!!
