Olga

Co-Founder
Originally from Moscow, Olga also has Israeli roots and lived in Tel Aviv before moving to Lisbon. She is a designer and had her own apartment renovation business, also previously working in design and photo studios.
A latte lover, she worked as a barista in Tel Aviv; when she created Buna, she had the chance to combine her two passions: coffee and interior design. Olga loves Buna’s vibes and the support net that the place naturally creates for regular customers and its own staff.

Oleg

Operations MANAGER
Born and raised in Moscow, Oleg had a design studio and events agency. Before Buna, this is the shocking way he used to drink coffee: instant coffee mixed with milk and sugar! But after coming to Buna and trying specialty coffee for the first time, he completely changed his views and taste.
Oleg is now a double shot latte lover that ‘only the best baristas in Lisbon can do – and well, they all work at Buna!’. You might not see him, but rest assured: he is usually inside the kitchen preparing great toasts for you!

Petrus has worked as a high school teacher and mentor for difficult learning teenagers. On top of that, he is an professional actor and theatermaker. Here in Lisbon, he also teaches English to immigrants. His favorite thing about Buna? The fact that we are all about ‘good coffee and good connections’.
