About Us
The story of Boon Boona starts with one man and connects two cultures, worlds apart.
Our founder and CEO, Efrem Fesaha, grew up in Seattle. While the city’s grab-and-go coffee culture was all around, his Eritrean family performed the traditional coffee ceremony that is part of daily life in Eritrean and Ethiopian households. After a trip to Asmara, Eritrea, his love for East African coffee culture truly took root.
Inspired by the slower pace and welcoming community of Eritrean cafes filled with the fragrance of roasting beans, Efrem returned to Seattle with a heartfelt mission. He was determined to share the unique flavors and traditions of East Africa, where coffee is not just a drink–it’s a daily pause, and a chance to gather with friends and family.
With social impact built into our business, Boon Boona Coffee is now a source of connection and opportunity for both African coffee growers and the Greater Seattle community.

Practices
In the spirit of East African coffee shops, we work to foster a warm and welcoming environment in our cafés. As a core part of that effort, we take care in creating an inclusive space for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized individuals.
We're constantly thinking up ways to support our local community, from providing pop-up space to artists, non-profits, and small businesses.
Whether you join us in person at our café or order our coffee online, thank you for becoming part of our community and sharing the love with African coffee growers.
