The new Boon Boona Coffee (@BoonBoonaCoffee) location at the Waterfront Park Overlook recently celebrated its grand opening with an enthusiastic crowd of community members and city leadership, marking a significant expansion for the local coffee staple. This new spot joined existing locations in Renton, Capitol Hill, the University District, and Redmond.

During the opening ceremony, CEO Efrem Fesaha expressed deep gratitude for his family and offered special thanks to former Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin for his purposeful community work and significant investment in the company. The event featured a prominent list of speakers, including Seattle City Council President Joy Hollingsworth (@CMJoyHollings), CEO of Friends of Waterfront Park (@friendsWFS) Joy Shigaki, and CEO of Ivar’s (@IvarsClam) Bob Donegan.

For the past three years, Converge Media has consistently highlighted Boon Boona Coffee, celebrating its role in the community and amplifying Black-owned business success. Back2Besa host Besa Gordon (@besagordon) was notably the first customer in line at the Waterfront Park opening, just as she was for the University of Washington Bookstore launch in 2023.

Through dedicated storytelling and genuine connection, Converge continues to celebrate how Boon Boona Coffee has become a cornerstone of the community and an exemplary Black-owned business, connecting people to the rich heritage and culture of East African coffee.

Visit Boon Boona’s new Waterfront Park location Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and weekends from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 1515 Western Ave, Seattle.

Catch Back2Besa every Saturday at 10:30 p.m. on FOX 13 Seattle and Sundays at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. on FOX 13+. Viewers can also stream episodes anytime on the FOX Local app.

A classic cold and rainy Seattle day couldn’t stop the community from showing up this morning! 🌧️☕️ We are incredibly proud to see the Grand Opening of the new Boon Boona Coffee at the Waterfront Park Overlook today. The place was absolutely packed, and the energy was perfect.

For the last three years, we’ve been honored to tell the Boon Boona story on Back2Besa with @besagordon, as they have grown from a local favorite to a pillar of the community. Keeping her tradition alive, Besa Gordon was first in line to be customer number one—just like she has been for previous openings!

It was a beautiful ceremony featuring words from:

* Efrem Fesaha, @BoonBoonaCoffee Coffee CEO

* Yeggy Michael, Art Programs Director, DNDA

* Bob Donegan, CEO, @IvarsClam

* Seattle City Council President Joy Hollingsworth (@JoyHollings)

* Council Member Robert Kettle (@CMBobKettle)

* @DougBaldwinJr, CEO, Vault89

* Chuck Depew, Managing Senior Director, Grow America

* Angela Brady, PE, PMP, Acting Director, SDOT

* Joy Shigaki, President + CEO, Friends of @WaterfrontSEA

Congratulations to Efrem and the entire team. There is no better way to warm up on a gray Seattle day than with a cup of Boon Boona. ☕️🖤

Be on the lookout for the full story in the coming weeks on Back2Besa with Besa Gordon on FOX 13 Seattle.

I know it must have been tough for @MayorOfLA to watch the @Seahawks fulfill my prediction and beat the @RamsNFL on Sunday, but I think this is quite a generous consolation prize: a sample of three world-class coffees from Seattle’s amazing @BoonBoonaCoffee !
