Boon Boona Coffee is a Black-owned[1] coffee roaster[2] and coffeehouse with two locations in the U.S. state of Washington.

## History

[edit]

The business was founded by owner Efrem Fesaha in 2012.[3][4][5] According to Eater Seattle, "As Fesaha developed the roastery, he established partnerships with farms in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, and other African countries, and focused on supporting woman-owned growers."[6] He opened a cafe in Renton in 2018 or 2019, followed by another in Seattle in 2021.[7][8][9]

## Reception

[edit]

In 2021, Aimee Rizzo of The Infatuation wrote, "Boon Boona sources their coffee beans exclusively from Africa and roasts them in-house—the result is a rich, bold cup that you should gulp regularly. While their espresso is terrific as is, they’ll often have a berbere-kicked mocha available. It’s earthy, a little spicy, and the perfect thing to sip all morning as you walk around Capitol Hill."[10]
