Bunna Coffee

Wohooo I am happy to announce that Bunna Café has moved to Gilbert. Their relocation makes me feel like a child on Christmas morning. I am that excited. If you have been to Gilbert, you know that our options here are limited, to put it kindly. Bunna Café has a great selection of sandwiches, wraps, and drinks. I love that it is run locally and offers organic and fair trade coffee. We need to support our local Arizona families in their business. We can change the economy and stimulate community growth if we support our neighbors. Sorry for getting side tracked, but did I mention there is free wi-​fi? There are also plenty of tables and chairs to sit back and enjoy. They offer student and senior discounts as well. This is a must try place. Yayyy for mom and pop shops, booo corporate coffee giants (aka Starbucks).
PS. Their customer service is excellent!

The friendliest people… best sandwiches at the best price in town. Everything is fresh and served timely.

Wow… have been hesitant to come back since under new management. (I new old owner, Anthony, from high school and live sooooo close) But stopped n real fast for my green T fix, since I didn’t have time to drive to my fav. xtreme bean. New owner is so nice, he took time and told me all about new menu and different. L Evening events they have started like BYOB and open mic. also live music some weekends… I will b back with my Hubbie to check out new grub offerings soon

Oh how I love discovering coffee places to go to besides Starbucks! And this place is GREAT. The atmosphere is relaxed and there are all sorts here, not just hipsters. Everyone that works here is so nice and helpful. the owner has been there every time I’ve come in and he goes above and beyond, bringing your food/​drinks to the table and even grabbing the silverware you forgot to get for you.
We’ve only had the pancakes here and they were a mix from TJ’s I’m pretty sure so not amazing… but they have veggie burgers here yay and I can’t wait to try one.
The coffee is really good. I’m an iced coffee or latte girl and they are accommodating about making mine with soy! The BF goes for the blended drinks and those have been scrumptiously dessert like. There iced teas are really good too and they always have a great suggestion for you to try. They will mix any of them to concoct your dream iced tea.
I love this place bc it’s yummy, fairly priced, and a LOCAL, small business!

They gave me a cup to pour my own coffee out of those decanters where you pump the coffee using a lever on the top, like a cheesy hotel cafeteria. Not very fresh, and a coffee was $ 2.50.
The «Bold Ethiopian Night» coffee was not bold at all. Watery. It’s too bad, I really wanted to like this place.

I live in the neighborhood right across the street from this place and recently started going there. It seems like everytime I go in I see one of my neighbors. How is it I didn’t realize it was there?
This is a cool coffee shop. It has an artsy feel to it that makes it fun and cozy. It’s a warmer environment than Starbucks. I recommend this place. The coffee is very good, but it’s the atmosphere that I love.

I went here today for some coffee and maybe something to eat.
The door was opened for me upon approaching it, and I was warmly greeted by a man who I assumed to be the owner. That was awesome.
Getting inside, there are children crawling around on the ground and on furniture, literally screaming… and it smells.
I walked up to the counter and a girl said «hi,» I said, «hi,» and I looked up at the menu to see what I wanted… I kept looking and kept thinking and she remained silent and just stared at me… this is not the kind of service I expect at a coffee shop… maybe some suggestions, or questions… «so is this your first time here?» would have been nice. Just silence.
I ended up just ordering a toddy, and it was okay. I prefer the ones from Cartel most definitely though.
I went to throw my straw wrapper away and the counter with forks and condiments and sugar and whatnot was visibly sticky and gross. There was a bin with a sign over it reading «dirty dishes,» that was indeed FILLED with dirty, smelly dishes.
The owner thanked me and said goodbye on my way out.

Stopped by Bunna to read for a bit and try out their new horchata drink. Sadly, they were out of this new drink being advertised by an outdoor sign. Ended up ordering a strawberry smoothed for 4.50 and it was okay, just okay. My fiancé ordered a coffee and although it had a fancy name it tasted like any other cup of joe to me. The owner and I were the only ones in the place for a little while so he was nice and showed me around the store. I noticed this place sells stuff that I buy from Costco. Two things I know they get from Costco and then just put on a plate for way more than the original price are the cinnamon roll bites and the black bean burger. I’d rather just buy this stuff from Costco then go home and make my own coffee.

Great little shop — good drinks, nice people. Good place to get some work done in a small, usually very quiet, place.

I went to Bunna last week to hang out at their Tuesday open mic, do some comedy, and meet new people. The patrons were very cool. It is a BYOB coffee shop, and people were drinking beer and wine. If you are looking for a chill place to sip on something, this seems like a spot to hit. The owners and staff were extremely friendly.
I had a spinach and berry smoothie… it was good and cost about the same as a smoothie anywhere else costs. They have a funky décor with work from local artists on the walls. I will definitely go back and try their coffee and food.

Love Bunna Coffee! This little coffee shop is right by my parents’ house and I totally enjoy making it a destination for a morning walk with Reggie.
The people working there are always so nice!
I recommend checking it out and supporting a cute local business!!!

Keep on driving by…
I don’t understand the high reviews. I’ve been here twice just to check myself.
Both coffee and espresso have no taste.
To boot, wireless does not work well. I had to use a neighboring business.
Move on to the next place…

I came here a couple weeks ago to get some coffee after hearing good things about this place. The coffee was just not very good. It didn’t have a lot of flavor and just was meh. I might have high expectations after living in Seattle, but this coffee wasn’t even as good as dunkin donuts… so… I’d pass.

After reading Jim’s review of this place, I wanted to go check it out. I cruised in there on Sunday, and was surprised to see that it was almost empty. It was just me, one other girl and the guy behind the counter.
I have to say, I really liked this place. Clean, decorated, comfortable and easy to manuver. 2 tops and 4 tops, theres plenty of seating! The guy behind the counter was super cool and friendly! I liked him. They seem to have a real nice menu here, quite a few options of food and drinks. I went with a cup of coffee amd it was TASTY! (coffee at a coffee shop? *GASP* I KNOW SHAME!)
Anyways, they also seem to have decent hours. No late nights like the other places, but I like it enough that I am willing to drive a few miles to get here.

If you’re gunna grab a coffee grab a Bunna. Here’s why you’re gunna grab a Bunna:
–You’re gunna wanna chat with the nice folks at Bunna.
–Their coffee is very good and shade grown but you can drink it in the sunna.
–Here at Bunna they really know their stuff and you can get toddy at Bunna.
–It takes real coffee expertise at a coffee house to even know what toddy is — go to Bunna and try it.
–Gabi’s office hours at Bunna brought me here in a roundabout way.
–Meet with a friend is what I was gunna, he said hey let’s meet over at this place I tried with Gabi, do you know it, it’s called Bunna.
*Toddy — coffee brewed by soaking the grounds in cold water for 12 hours or so, then draining off the liquid. The result is highly caffeinated, very smooth, concentrated coffee which can then be used in drinks in place of espresso or consumed on it’s own. It is very smooth because no hot water or steam is used as in regular brewing methods and the bitter acids that are released from the beans by heat are not present in the toddy.

Great atmosphere on the inside with green coffee bean bags on display, and a nice assortment of beans as well as tea for sale. Three choices for drip coffee, and espresso was fairly good as well. Prices weren’t too bad, and parking wasn’t a problem. Only negative is that it isn’t a very nice strip mall.

Why am I cursing Italy this week? I’ve made it through stints as a journalist, a political wonk, a gen x-​er, and a northwest grunge girl and I’ve never succumb to the temptations of coffee. But this last vacation has me hooked on macchiattos — that tiny little cross breed of a cappuccino and an espresso.
And while I’m at it I should also curse the Unilocal Office Hours because that’s how I heard about Bunna Coffee. I never would have seen this friendly space tucked behind the DQ on Rural and Elliott otherwise. And I never would have been tempted back by Bunna’s exchange rate affordable macchiato ($ 1.35 is about the same as 1 euro these days.)
The free wifi ensures I will come back to Bunna for some work away from work time, just like that spot of milk and foam turned a random «act like the locals» experiment into my latest craving.

Stopped in on the Unilocal Office hours because it’s fairly close to where i work. nice little coffee shop. i ordered an iced americano and the espresso didn’t taste burnt or bitter.
also in attendance this day was blue belle ice cream. delish new flavor.
if your in the area, check it out.

In the interest of brevity (it being the soul of wit, although possibly not witticisms:), I will keep my review of Bunna brief.
I only had one cup of coffee… the Guatemalan Dark Roast, but WOW… good coffee!
Good enough for Bunna to inspire another haiku —
a cup of dark roast
makes my heart beat much faster
with love, not caffeine
Good Coffee!

I spent the morning at Bunna Coffee and stayed through today’s Unilocal Office Hours. I was super impressed with the number of ‘regulars’ in the place and how most of them were known by name.
The atmosphere is welcoming, the coffee is fabulous, and the food is fresh! I had a big bowl of fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries), granola (some of the best I’ve had ever), and organic yogurt along with a cup of sumatra (medium roast) coffee with some steamed almond milk on the side.
That was the fuel that got me through my morning. I am happy to see a local business thriving (or at least it appears that way). I wish Bunna was a tad bit closer to where I live because I’d like to be a regular there too!
