Crema's Take

Buna Kurs is a beloved Black-owned Ethiopian coffee shop where Ms. Lily and her husband create a warm, family-like atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back for the boldly spiced comfort food, traditional injera, and distinctly Ethiopian coffee. The space invites you to linger with a laptop or friends over flavor-packed dishes like tibs and barley, all while surrounded by fantastic wall art and genuine hospitality that makes everyone feel welcomed. It's the kind of place that offers something genuinely different and nourishing—not just caffeine and pastries, but a real cultural experience in the heart of Richmond.

Delicious, healthy food! Made with care. I love this cafe, it's a great place to bring friends or stop by and relax alone. The injera is so delicious, I stop by often because I crave it all the time now! Thank you for sharing delicious food with Richmond :)

This is what you want when it's some different and comforting. Delicious!!! If you do not like spices do not come here, I'm talking flavor bombs!!! And the owner Ms. Lily is awesome!!! Can't wait to try the breakfast! My wife and I enjoyed all of it. Thank you for the great food and hospitality. (āmeseginalehu)

Absolutely incredible experience! The food was packed with rich, unique flavors, especially the tibs, barley, and Ethiopian-style eggs. Lily and her husband were warm and welcoming, and the citrus espresso drink was such a fun surprise. Cozy space, beautiful energy, and I can’t wait to come back with friends. Highly recommend!
