“Dear PoPville,
Just tried Buna coffeehouse on Georgia and Webster (replaces Uneeda market) and it was pretty legit. Great coffee (carry Swings) and great variety of food from pastries to Ethiopian options. They had their soft opening 3 weeks ago but will have their grand opening this Saturday. They will also start introducing Ethiopian coffee ceremonies after the grand opening. Also carry gelato (watch out lulubelles).
Sausage egg and cheese bagel did the trick for me too.
Hope this place succeeds.”
