Boon Boona Coffee, owned by Efrem Fesaha, celebrated five years of being in their Renton location on Sunday, January 14th. The event was not just a celebration of their success, but of the community and local businesses that have supported them along the way. During the event, Fesaha expressed his gratitude towards everyone who has contributed to their growth over the years, including five local breweries that have used their coffee in brews. Among the breweries were Holy Mountain, Fast Fashion, Four Generals, Métier, and Hellbent.

“It's a moment for me to just thank everyone. You know, we started off just by simply saying, You know what, we need to acknowledge five years, we need to thank everybody that's bigger, right on with this the last five. But then it was thinking about kind of like smaller details, we think about five different breweries in the Seattle neighborhood that have supported us. So we've got Holy Mountain, Fast Fashion, Four Generals, Métier, Hellbent, you know, we've got these great breweries that have chosen us our coffee in their beard. And we want to highlight them. So let's do that. But at the same time, it's also to, like, say, thank you, we appreciate, you know, you come through having your bogus being the first customer at U DUB, you know, it's things like that, where I get to tell you, thank you for the things that you've done, and how much it's impacted us.” Said Fesaha.

The night was filled with community connections, amazing coffee and brews, and vibes curated by Lace Cadencs. See the video below to relive the magic of the celebration, plus photos taken by Seattle photographer Jordan Somers on behalf of Converge Media.
