Riverside students recently had the exciting opportunity to tour Buunni Coffee’s roasting facility in the Bronx, warmly welcomed by founders Sarina and Elias, an inspiring husband-and-wife team. Since founding Buunni Coffee in 2012 after moving from Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, Sarina and Elias have brought Ethiopian hospitality and rich coffee flavors to the U.S. During the visit, they shared their entrepreneurial journey, offering our students valuable insights into resilience, business ownership, and the craft of coffee roasting.
