I stopped by about a year ago, just to check them out, and I've been a regular ever since. The coffee is excellent, both in quality of the bean and the brew. The truck has a complete set-up for espresso, but has drip coffee, iced, and cold brew. It has become a lot more popular, so there is often a line, but it moves quickly and is always worth it. The barista is super friendly and a great conversation to start the day.

However, a nurse at the local hospital highly recommended this coffee truck. With a Starbucks and Tatte nearby, having gotten coffee from each place. ARKIBUNA blows the other coffee shops out of the water! The truck is very clean inside and outside the owner is very very polite and has an excellent memory. He will remember you. Yesterday, getting coffee, I saw the cutest thing; it was a GW student who got her last coffee because she graduated that same day. the barista and the patron had a moment, which was the culmination of a few years of going to school and getting coffee from this truck on a regular basis. Quality of the ingredients is very high. What makes the drink special is the brand of coffee that they use. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. It makes an outstanding deal. The menu is vast with standard drinks all made expertly. He is here M-F morning until 1pm right near the Whole Foods.

Most recently, I stopped by over Easter weekend (2026) and grabbed my usual go-to, an empanada. This time it was the pulled pork, and it definitely hit the spot just like the others I've had. Not much more to say other than they've been solid every time. I'll keep stopping by whenever I'm in the area.

The drinks are delicious and the food is hearty, they don't skimp you out on portion sizes... as you can see with the brunch platter. They do other cafe classics as well like bagels and toasts. I always appreciate cafes that feel stuck in the 2000s. Büna definitely gives this vibe with their mismatched furniture and inspirational art. It's a comfort I always look for when I enjoy my morning coffee.

Really loved the matcha I got! I'm not a matcha fan but had to try this since there was so much…read morehype and I must say, it did not disappoint. The concept is different than what I'm used to. The store is actually a chocolate store. So the person that does the matcha comes in at 11 or 12. However the nice thing about this, is that there's an upstairs sitting area and there's a patio. It's very cozy regardless where you're at. If I'm not mistaken I think my matcha was on the expensive side, I might be wrong about this but it was $12.10. It was the banana pudding matcha which tasted great! Never tasted a matcha like this!

Their espresso machine broke but eventually got fixed thank goodness. Positive note the KARAMELE APPLE PIE LATTE that I got was fabulous a nice fruity flavor and robustness to the coffee not overly sweetened and for an on the fly was really good. Overall if this is an example of their coffee then I am happy to try them again. I also got and African Violet but have not taken a sip.

I slowly watched as their stand inside Bryant Street Market was built out and accidentally dropped in on their first day of full operations on Tuesday, Jan 14! I got the small Sukari Latte, which was listed as one of their specialties. It's sweetened with condensed milk and has some spices. The espresso is darker than I'm used to, but it was a nice blend and I appreciated their unique take on a latte. It was a tad sweeter than I prefer, and would ask for it less sweet next time. The coffee stand is well designed and adds a lot of interest to their corner. There are some stools here, but there's plenty of other seating available at the food hall, so never a concern about enough seating. Note that they have a small, medium, and large cup options here--I ordered the small. There were plenty of pastries to choose from, but I didn't go for any this time around. I'm not sure if the pastries are made in-house as ai forgot to ask, but they looked good! Looking forward to patronizing this coffee stand and trying more of their offerings.

I came to the…read moremarket to purchase a couple of things and this cafe cafe was right here and there were a ton of people sitting at the coffee bar. They have a pretty extensive menu board but I just ordered a venti cold brew which was great. I saw that they also have a few pastries and other breakfast sandwiches that are made to order. The guy who took my order was kind enough to offer me the WiFi password, which was all it took to get me to stay. The cafe was so popular, it made me wonder if people come to the market just to order from the cafe. There is definitely something special here that makes it so popular.

I called in advance about the outlet and wifi situation to make sure I could come here and do work properly, and they couldn't pick up at the time, but they followed up with me later to let me know, which I really appreciated. I was greeted quite well upon arrival, with the staff explaining the menu, and letting me know where I could sit and showing me where the outlets were. I ordered and they asked me if I needed the wifi password right away. After getting seated, they got my drink out and delivered it to my table ASAP. They also were kind enough to see when I looked confused and directed me to the bathroom. The service was just great here! I enjoyed my latte, which wasn't too sweet; appreciated that a lot. I do want to try the rest of their menu, so I'll come again for their seasonal items. I also did enjoy their brown butter/sugar toast - box looked small but packed a good amount of taste and fullness for me. The place is nice and the bathrooms are nice too. I'd definitely recommend for the café aspect for studying or working remote while sipping on a nice drink. Surprisingly, more people were outside rather than inside with the outlets, so that was interesting to witness. Really appreciate the staff here!

Their newest D.C. location is in Buzzard Point, which is being taken over by new development and high-rise buildings. Cafe Unido is inside one of the newest. To access Cafe Unido go inside The Stacks' beautiful courtyard. You'll see an outdoor patio with tables and chairs that's part of Cafe Unido. Walk inside and kind staff will greet you and take your order. Going at 7 a.m. during the week, I ordered their breakfast sandwich and vanilla bean latte. Both were delicious! The breakfast sandwich comes with bason and is full of flavor and very filling. The latte is perfectly sweetened, balanced, and creamy. There are small tables with outlets at each inside the beautifully designed space or you can grab a table inside The Stacks lobby, where you'll find plants, murals, and restrooms.
