Bunna Cafe is an Ethiopian Vegetarian Restaurant, Coffeehouse, and Music Venue that will be opening in BK later this year. We are hosting dinner parties and collaborative headline events around the city -- in bars, cafes, rooftops, parking lots, friends' apartments, beach, etc...? For one, food -- lots of it. Healthy, tasty, gourmet vegan Ethiopian food. And, you get to e

xperience the coffee ceremony, which involves making coffee from raw bean to powerful aromatic brew and every single amazing smell, sight, taste that goes with it. Then we throw in Tej (Ethiopian honey wine), surprisingly good Ethiopian beers, live music, a film or two, flea markets, dj's, dance parties, etc. Our aim is to take a beautiful, elegant, and sophisticated Ethiopian tradition of entertainment and create multi-faceted, multi-genre events that creates goodwill and good times in NYC. If you've ever wrapped a saucy mix of lentils, peppers and spices around an odd but comforting fluffy sour flatbread and stuffed it in your salivating pie hole, then you know what we're talking about. If not, it's time to carpe diem, my friend. See you soon. We are ready.

BETESEB BRUNCH:
Griot Sounds of Senegal with
THE ABA DIOP TRIO
Sat 6/27
1 to 5
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
We are happy to present a monthly Family-oriented musical series in out backyard!

This June, we cross the Atlantic and land on the rich cultural and musical shores of Senegal, Gambia, and the beginnings of the Sahel. Hailing from Dakar, Aba Diop and his Yermande Family () have planted roots over here, bringing with them many generations of Griot music. Diop specializes in the Sabar drums, and he will be showcasing them, along with Youba Cissokho on Kora, and Jason Hosier on Guitar as the ABA DIOP TRIO.

Aba Diop & the Yermande Family is more than a band, it’s a collective bound by music, respect, and shared purpose. “We are all human,” Aba says. “It doesn’t matter if you’re in Japan, America, or Senegal, the music unites us. And when we’re united, we become like a family, playing together, feeling together. That spirit, of caring for your elders, of supporting one another with kindness, that’s what we call Yermande.”

Backyard opens at 1. Our dj .music will be leading us in. Performance is from 2:30 to 4.

Join us for kid's activities and delicious Bunna Cafe brunch. Drink specials for adults and kids alike! Try our new mocktails!

$20 per adult, kids are free. Book online! Link in Bio.
