Sarina Prabasi and her husband, Elias, started Buunni Coffee in 2012 after moving from Ethiopia to New York City. With them, they brought a deep appreciation for the Ethiopian coffee culture, which emphasizes community, hospitality, and the experience of enjoying coffee together. Today, Buunni Coffee is exactly that – a hub for community gatherings and events, with four cafes in Washington Heights and Inwood.

Today we sit down with Sarina to learn more about how coffee played a crucial role in her and Elias's lives, from their first meeting over a cup of coffee in Ethiopia to the creation of Buunni Coffee in New York. She shares the challenges they faced as new entrepreneurs in New York City, the importance of sustainable and fair trade practices in their sourcing, and how Buunni Coffee has become an integral part of their community.
