Wonderful little family-owned cafe. Cozy and clean. Coffee was delicious and ate a cevapi sub for lunch. Bread was incredibly fresh and had a roasted red pepper spread, everything was super flavorful. Reasonable prices too. Will be back to try dessert!

Real Bosnian food. Affordable menu, friendly quick service. Atmosphere was clean and neat with music playing over speakers, just the right volume. Absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend anyone try this cafe. Local owned and operated, love the idea of supporting hard working local owners. This is a great place to take a romantic date or a family.

Puna is our absolute favorite place to go for coffee! We can’t have caffeine anymore but love the taste of coffee - Puna is one of the ONLY coffee shops in the area that serve DECAF so we are regulars. Every time we have the best experience - every person there is kind, professional and friendly! They are very honest if they have a lunch/dinner rush and if our order may take a little longer than usual which is respectable and we never mind waiting, but 90% of the time our order is so quick. We do drive thru usually which is a HUGE bonus. They just did the inside of the restaurant which looks AMAZING! Perfect place to hang out and enjoy food and coffee.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely love Puna Cafe! We try something new every time. Tonight was the meat & cheese pies, superb!!
Ate here tonight for the first time. There were three of us. We had the cevapi, the donner kebab, and the gyro. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.
I love this place! Puna Cafe has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The food and drinks are so delicious — everything is made fresh after you order, so just keep in mind it’s not a fast food vibe. Perfect for slowing down, relaxing, and being present, whether you’re grabbing coffee or enjoying a meal with friends.
Also, their pita is hands-down the BEST in town!!! And that’s coming from someone who usually doesn’t even like pita! Everything is always hot, fresh, and made with love. Highly recommend! :)
We had been eager to try this place for a while, and today was finally the day! Tucked into the corner of a strip mall, the restaurant's exterior was unassuming, but stepping inside, we were met with a surprising lounge-like atmosphere—black furnishings, cozy seating vignettes, and a stylish yet intimate vibe.
As we approached the counter, thinking that’s where we’d order, a waitress greeted us and let us know she’d take our order at the table. Menus were available via QR code, and she assured us she’d be with us shortly.
The restaurant is small, with just a handful of tables. We found a spot, though the high-top chairs were quite uncomfortable. Our drink order came first: a hot chocolate and a hazelnut latte with almond milk. We also asked for water and learned that bottled water was available for $1.50- we ordered two. Notably, all non-coffee drinks were bottled.
We finished our drinks well before the food arrived—waiting 30 minutes for our order despite only one other table of six in the restaurant.
Our meal included a meat pie, a cheese pie, chicken teriyaki, and cevapi—since we weren’t sure we’d be back, we wanted to sample a bit of everything!
The chicken teriyaki was dry and lacked sauce, though the waitress noticed this herself and brought us an extra container.
The pies were just okay. The cheese pie’s filling was underwhelming, while the meat pie had good flavor. A garnish of sour cream or salsa would have elevated both.
The standout dish? The cevapi. The sausages were delicious, the pita was even better, and the combination of onion, sour cream, and paprika sauce took it to another level.
Overall, the experience had its highs and lows. While the wait was longer than expected and some dishes missed the mark, the cevapi was a clear winner!
Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite, and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!
The food is delicious and the staff is courteous. The location is great and even has a drive through for those that can't dine in.
