Buna 42

The fruit plate was the first I’ve had here that included mango — not your typical watermelon/​canteloupe/​papaya. Although you kind of pay for it with it’s unusually high price. Buna 42 also takes a very creative approach standard Mexican fare such as the omelette and the mole tacos. I enjoyed the fresh take of seasonings and vegetables, but don’t expect a traditional recipe. The service is hit or miss. Our waiter was slow but kind, but the barista was a little off-​putting.

La mejor cafetería en DF, tienen una mezcla de cafés única y explican a detalle los tipos de extracción, tienen un huerto urbano que surte parte de los alimentos que ahí se preparan, tienen una propuesta bastante interesante en cuanto a comida y su carta de bebidas se renueva constantemente.

Exceptional breakfast and coffee. Well worth seeking out as a destination. Kale salad highly recommended.

Awesome coffee, great café food and super fast wifi. Really great place for hanging out, getting online, eating some tasty food and drinking great coffee. Not bad prices either when considering the standard.

The espresso was great, I also had a con leche that was really good too. I love how the espresso machine is below the counter and you only see a little of the machine above the counter.
I loved the food. I had chilaquiles rojo with pork. The sauce was just a little spicy and tangy and amazing!

Everything about this place was perfect. The friendly staff, the quality of the coffee, and the presentation of the food. Great outdoor seating to people watch. Try their fruit with yoghurt and granola!

Mi café favorito. Muy moderno y la comida y café está sabroso. Estoy nueva de DF y me entats colonia Roma. La colonia es bonita y limpia.

Es el lugar el que vale la pena, pues es muy agradable. Lo demás es un poco lamentable. El servicio es malo e impráctico: uno debe ir a pedir lo que desea y se lo llevan a la mesa cuando esté listo. Cuando el café está vacío el servicio es lento porque los trabajadores están en su propia y ruidosa fiesta y cuando está lleno se confunden entre tanta gente. La comida es bastante cara para lo que es. Y del café hay que decirlo: se enorgullecen de él, pero al final es un café tan mal tostado que su sabor es incluso agrio y muy desagradable. Cualquier café soluble es menos «sofisticado», pero le gana en sabor.

Third wave coffee in DF! Buna 42 is a cute coffee shop reminiscent of those found in the Bay Area. My husband ordered a cafechata, which is a blend of cold brew and horchata, while I got a cold brew with almond milk. Both drinks were 50 pesos each (~$ 3 USD) and were really tasty. You can tell that they know what they’re doing here, measuring the water for pour overs and offering some great hard to find coffee drinks.

Wish we’d discovered it sooner! This place has amazing food and coffee. I had the cafechata, a cold brew and horchata hybrid that is a religious experience. Ended up buying beans to bring home.

Estive nesse restaurante de comida mexicana com alguns colegas de trabalho, e nós havíamos pré-​reservado um jantar com cinco fases, de modo que tivéssemos uma experiência bem completa da culinária local. Os tacos com chapulines (gafanhotos fritos) para começar não foram exatamente um hit, mas eu também não desgostei, apesar de provavelmente não tornar a pedir essa iguaria por conta própria.
De prato principal, provei o peixe, que estava delicioso, e fiquei triste de não conseguir comer tudo, por conta do jantar ter tido muitas fases. A sobremesa foi a única que desapontou: um crème brulée revisitado, com um toque salgado, que eu achei bem ruinzinho. Mas isso não tirou o mérito do chef, que preparou uma experiência tipicamente mexicana, mas com um toque contemporâneo, bastante saborosa para nosso grupo.
Para beber, a cerveja artesanal Amália agradou bastante. O ambiente é simples, mas bacana, e se você procura um lugar que tenha produtos saudáveis e culinária mexicana, o Buna deve ser uma boa escolha.

La presentación es interesante y la comida ideal… Desafortunadamente la atención es muy regular… No le hacen el favor al cliente… El cliente es quien decide entrar

Buenísimo. Tuvimos una grata degustación de distintos platos, y probamos la cerveza artesanal de la casa. El anfitrión fue muy amable de explicar con cuidado cada plato, y no se retorció en el suelo de risa ante nuestra estupefacta cara extranjera cuando llego la hora de comer chapulines (pequeñas langostas o saltamontes), lo q se agradece. En todo caso, estaban ricos… son crujientes, salados, sin gusto a nada.
Eso si, mi pasión por el riesgo llegó hasta el crème brûlée del final, q estaba bañado con… aceto balsámico.
Mucho para mi. Pero el resto de la oferta, buenísima.

I have to admit, i am a coffee snob and this place makes me happy every time! One of the best coffee places in the city. Cappuccino is sublime

Buna is usually a nice coffee shop, and you can probably find all kinds of methods you would want for you coffee but I came here for a special tasting dinner offered by the chef. It was 5-​course menu. We started with tacos de chapulines, which is a local delicacy but not very appreciated by foreigners. I wouldn’t say I love chapulines (grasshopper) but to be honest I believe it tastes like chili powder and salt. Second course was an onion soup, very delicious. Up next we had mushroom risotto and as a main course we could choose between chicken or fish. The whole menu was quite interesting with yummy combinations that only used locally selected products. I was not a big fan of the dessert (crème brûlée with balsamic vinegar) but other than that it was a great time.
I finished my meal I had a double espresso cortado and it was definitely among the best I had in the city.
The ambience is clean and appropriate to study or work. Looking forward to my next visit.

Love love love Buna. What a great and unique concept. All the people that work there really take the quality and experience seriously. The menu has so many great unique options that you can’t find anywhere else, like coffee and horchata mix, and different versions of affogatos (coffee and ice cream). The pricing is around the same as Starbucks but the quality is vastly superior and I like the atmosphere more too. There is outdoor seating and free wifi and breakfast options if you want to brunch. The salad I had was incredible too (which is normally not how I would describe any salad). Definitely give this place a try.

Todo está muy rico, amablemente el harusta nis explicó todo sobre el grano qje estaban ocupando, el método de extracción, el porque y como funcionaba sus máquimas. Sin duda un lugar que hay visitar.
