Our “joint” in Adams Morgan lights up way before sunset. But we embody all that was clean, tasty, homely, convenient, and simply fun about original Bukom. Since our doors opened on the 14th of February 1992, we have built a growing clientele out of the International and American dining communities with a desire to savor exciting, home-grown tastes of West Africa, which is remarkably similar to Caribbean, Latin American and Creole cuisine. Our congenial environment is a cozy international ambiance, created through our decor and a diverse selection of music, reflecting all genres throughout the Diaspora.
Bukom Café is known as one of Washington, DC’s best spots for live music and good eats. We have an extensive catering service. We cater parties, business meetings, fund-raisers, weddings, and any other social event on and off the premises. Some of our past and present clients include: DC Mayors, The world bank, Friends of various African Peace Corp, various international organizations in the DC metropolitan area and Universities.
