Her team is the friendliest around and they **care about educating people about why these choices for coffee production MATTER** - for the health of our planet and for the economic welfare of countries often exploited for their goods. They're purist in their approach to drinks, also: You won't find fake colored flavorings or cute sprinkles here. You'll get house made simple syrups and unique spice blends to complement seriously good coffee. Or as Deb would say: Damn Good Coffee. This is my go-to spot for purchasing my supply of coffee to roast at home." -Kate V.*   ## [Buunni Coffee](https://www.buunnicoffee.com/) | New York, NY ![4-Nov-20-2020-05-24-28-65-PM](https://blog.joe.coffee/hs-fs/hubfs/4-Nov-20-2020-05-24-28-65-PM.png?width=600&name=4-Nov-20-2020-05-24-28-65-PM.png) *"Their delicious coffee and their **commitment to every aspect of our neighborhood**.
