Specialty Coffee in León

At Casa Mundo Verde, we love Nicaraguan coffee, and we want you to taste just how good it can be. Our coffee is locally sourced and carefully selected, bringing the flavours of Nicaragua’s coffee-growing regions straight to your cup.

Come in for your morning coffee, try something new, sit down with a book, meet a friend or simply enjoy a really good cup of coffee while watching León go by.

And, we have more than coffee! 

The Coffeeshop

Specialty coffee first. Then see what else you fancy.

Coffee might be our favourite, but we know not everyone starts the day with a caffeine obsession.

Alongside our specialty coffees, you’ll find matcha drinks, fresh smoothies and frappe’s because sometimes you want something creamy and green, and sometimes you just need something cold and fruity after walking around León in the Nicaraguan sun.

Whatever ends up in your cup, grab a seat and stay a while.

Breakfast, lunch & to share

Come in hungry

A good coffee deserves a good breakfast.

Our breakfast menu brings together Nicaraguan favourites and a few lighter options, so you can start the day exactly how you like it.

Fancy something local? Go for our Nica Breakfast.

Want something fresh and colourful? Try our Smoothie Bowl.

Or keep it simple with toast and marmalade alongside a beautiful cup of specialty coffee. Ofcourse we have more options for you to choose from.

And if you’re staying at Casa Mundo Verde, your traditional Nicaraguan breakfast with coffee or Jamaica is included with your stay.

— Stay longer. Connect deeper.

I assume the rooms are very good, as is their service, coffee and help with tours and anything you would like to do in and around León and further beyond. The place is run by local guide Leo and Dutch Margarita. Highly recommended to enquire after the guided tours of León. Also the best coffee in town. And smoothies.

Wir haben drei Nächte im Casa Mundo Verde verbracht und waren mit allem sehr zufrieden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, alle waren super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben tolle Touren gebucht und auch hier wurde auf jeden Wunsch eingegangen. Das Frühstück war super und auch zum Verweilen lädt das Café ein. Der Oreo Cheesecake war hammer! Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unserer Meinung nach. Ein toller ruhiger Ort in mitten der vollen Stadt. Vielen Dank, wir würden uns jederzeit wieder dafür entscheiden.

A very nice new place in León. Good location, hygienic, friendly people, and their coffee is the best. We were also happy with the price/quality and their great breakfast.

We stayed 4 nights in Casa Mundo Verde and Leonel & Margreet completely transformed our experience of Leon simply by being so nice and so helpful. They organize cooking classes with traditional Nicaraguan food, walking tours and other activities. They work together with other tours so they were able to arrange anything we asked for. We were lucky to be in town during the traditional feast of Gritaria Chica, and Leonel instantly created a walking tour to allow the guests to experience the feast like a local. We had a lot of fun getting to know the tradition and collecting candies. If you are lucky enough to have half our experience in here, you're in for a great time. Oh, and they run in place a nice coffee shop, with very good local coffee and delicious cakes. Our room was also very nice, it was large, very clean and very comfortable beds. This is a very new place, it opened just a month ago, but I believe it will be one of the most popular in a short time.

Our specialties

Paninis for when coffee isn't enough

Sometimes one coffee turns into lunch.

That’s where our specialty paninis come in.

Choose your favourite:

Chicken BBQ · Chicken Curry · Chicken Pesto · Caprese

They’re great for a quick lunch before your next León adventure, or for those days when you have nowhere to be and can happily spend a little longer at the table.

Homemade cakes

And then there's dessert...

We probably should have mentioned this earlier.

Because if you’re the kind of person who checks the dessert menu before deciding what to order, we like you already.

Our sweet selection includes:

Cheesecake Calala · Oreo Cheesecake · Matcha Tiramisu · Lemon Pie · Sticky Chocolate Brownie

And honestly, these deserve their own visit.

A slice of cheesecake with a specialty coffee?
Matcha tiramisu with a matcha latte?
Sticky chocolate brownie after lunch?

We won’t judge.

Sharing with friends

Bring your friends. We'll bring the snacks.

Good food is even better when you don’t have to share your own plate.

If you’re meeting friends or just want something to nibble on with your drinks, order a few things for the table:

Loaded Fries · Guacamole · Nachos · Bread & Dips

Get the table full, order another round of drinks and let the conversation take care of the rest.
