Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony

What is Buna?

In Ethiopia, coffee is more than a drink—it is a symbol of hospitality, connection, and community.

The Ethiopian coffee ceremony, or Buna, is one of our most treasured traditions, bringing family, friends, and guests together to share conversation, laughter, and meaningful moments. It is a time to slow down, be present, and enjoy the simple joy of gathering around a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

At Mimi's, we are honored to share this beautiful tradition with our guests. Green coffee beans are carefully roasted, filling the room with their rich aroma before being freshly ground and brewed in a traditional jebena. Served alongside incense and traditional accompaniments, each ceremony offers a glimpse into the warmth and culture of Ethiopia.

Whether you are experiencing an Ethiopian coffee ceremony for the first time or reconnecting with a cherished tradition, we invite you to relax, savor the moment, and enjoy one of Ethiopia's most beloved cultural experiences.

At Mimi's, every cup tells a story, and every guest is welcomed as family.
