Smiles Coffee in Masaya

Bonito lugar , dónde le dan la oportunidad y apoyo a jóvenes con discapacidades y eso es excelente para su integración de la vida

Love coffee come on over and check out the menu and their hammocks.

Support a good cause and get good food at reasonable prices...why not? Nica and Spanish influenced dishes in a nice setting.

Always helping!

This cafe is also associated with a business that sells hammocks and other craft items made by folks that are deaf or hard of hearing on site in their workshop. Some artwork around as well. Nice spot. We got some nice gifts here. We didnt eat at the Cafe itself.

Richtig süßes Café mit gutem essen, guten Preisen und good value for money. Ich finde es toll, dass die Mitarbeiter taubstumm sind und man durch die Poster etwas Zeichensprache lernen kann.

This place is amazing! A must visit if you have a big heart and like a good coffee.

Agradable. Lo gestionan sordos. Hay fabricación hamacas manual. Es un centro solidario y autogestionado. Felicidades a Tio Antonio y compañia

Good place!!

Очень неплохое кафе в центре. Был днём. Не сразу понял, что работают глухонемые, было немного сложно принять заказ вначале, но потом мы поняли друг друга. Заказал жареную свинину и вначале сок папайя, потом кокосовый сок. И кофе. Все вкусно, только основное блюдо пересолили слегка. Адекватные цены, за все 270 кордоб. Мне понравилось, и хорошо, что у людей есть работа.

This a really great café serving good food and an important social cause.

Very good value for money. Tasty food and big portions. Nice space in the shade

Very well priced and delicious food. Furthermore they have collaborated an amazing concept to integrate everyone. I love it here

Its a very special place. Made me smile. I enjoyed the hospitality,the coffe and the beautiful architecture of the place

Such a nice project ! I was there for just a few minutes, unfortunately, but it was really touching

Goodstuff, quiet,

"Café de las Sonrisas", la primera cafetería en Centroamérica atendida por sordosEl "Café de las Sonrisas", nació en 2012, propiedad del español Antonio Prieto Buñuel, y ha inspirado ideas similares en Argentina, Canadá, Filipinas, Indonesia y México. En una pared de unos seis metros de largo, pintada en color amarillo, se explica a través de dibujos y fotografías el alfabeto de sordos, letra por letra.Uicado en la turística ciudad colonial de Granada, a 45 kilómetros al sureste de Managua, nació en 2012, propiedad del español Antonio Prieto Buñuel, y ha inspirado ideas similares en Argentina, Canadá, Filipinas, Indonesia y México.En el negocio, donde se sirve desde gallo pinto (arroz mezclado con fríjoles), ensaladas de frutas de la temporada o de vegetales, así como crepes y panqueques, trabajan unas siete personas entre los 19 y 24 años de edad, la mayoría sordos.Entre ellos se encuentra el camarero nicaragüense Rodolfo Sánchez, de 24 años, un joven moreno y de baja estatura quien se acerca a los clientes, los saluda y les entrega la carta elaborada con pictogramas.Sánchez fue el único de siete hermanos que nació sordo, sin embargo su discapacidad no es un problema para trabajar en el "Café de las Sonrisas".El joven, uno de los trabajadores fundadores de la cafetería, comenta, a través de lenguaje de señas, que inicialmente le daba miedo y vergüenza atender a los clientes por su condición, pero que en poco tiempo se fue acostumbrando.En temporada alta el negocio recibe diariamente a al menos 80 turistas de diversos países que, sorprendidos por la iniciativa, entran a consumir o simplemente a observar y aprender un poco del lenguaje de señas.Los precios son super accesibles, la atención es de lo mejor, es de mis lugares favoritos en todo Granada.Me encanta la inclusión de este lugar, he ido 3 veces.Me fui FELIZ, GRACIAS POR LAS SONRISAS🤗

Great atmosphere and story behind this cafe. Highly recommended

Admittedly I never tried the food, but the hammock workshop was really neat. This is the best place to buy a quality hammock in Granada. The really nice ones (large, colorful and with decorationscan run around $50-75USD.

Fantastic cafe that employs the deaf and helps the community in soooooo many ways. Tio Antonio is there and needs your help to keep this project active. It has been completely self-sufficient for years but after the recent politics and loss in tourism, they are struggling. Come have a great meal and buy a hammock or 10 from their store! Tell your friends. Amazing place!!!!

Great coffee and food!

This place was Awemazing! Hit me in feels. Loved the atmosphere and the people. The ethics of this resturaunt are great!! Definitly come and support thé locals!! The food is good the juices were delicious.

Cause in a good area i like it

This is a must stop for everyone visiting Granada. However, unfortunately, they will soon be leaving Granada and moving to Managua. It’s worth stopping by for breakfast and helping to support local members of the community - most employees in the restaurant are deaf. We also purchased a beautiful hammock, hammock chair and many different kinds of handmade jewelry.

Nice!

Amazing little cafe, but it is way more than that and words are too weak to explain the experience. If you are in Nicaragua just go and live this place. Located in a beautiful colonial age building very close to Parque Central, this is not only a cafe in a popular tourist destination but a true revolutionary social project that gives a voice and a vision to deaf-mute and blind Nicaraguan child. You will have the chance and pleasure to communicate your order to hearing impaired but extremely charming Nicaraguan young adults. You can also see, next to the cafe, these super talented, some visually impaired/blind, workers making amazingly beautiful hamacs I would never be able to make even with extra eyes. We also had the chance of meeting el "Tío" of these kids a charming and friendly Spaniard/Nicaraguan that came on vacation but ended up staying forever in Nicaragua. He truly seems to love these kids and has several other social projects aiming to improve his adopted homeland.

Beautiful place. Friendly service. Pretty good food. The story behind CLS is wonderful- read about it before you go! I also loved that all the decor here is purposeful.

Love this place, because they provide employment to folks with physical limitations. Pineapple shake was delicious.

LOVE IT

Nice and quiet courtyard in the middle of the city. Tasty food and drinks for great prices, 95 Cordoba for the typical Nica plate, 30 Cordoba for home made ice tea.

An experience you have to experience! A perfect locally kitchen, hospitality on high level

Excellent meal, but even better visit with the founder. A terrific experience.

Super chill vibe. Everytime Im here, I stay for like 2 hours on internet.

Great cause, awesome service and experience. Good veggie burritos!!

Everyone should go there, for the association of deaf people and the atmosphere there, the quality of the smoothies, dont wait !

Hermoso lugar y de una causa y labor muy buena. Le dan trabajo a las personas que no con problemas de audición

Really nice place, but if you dont like or are allergic to cats or cat urine, stay away! Good food, a little quiet for my taste, but all in all a nice place.

Good jalapeno chicken

This restaurant has great food and the owner has one of the biggest hearts. Ask for him to tell you about his journey and how he helps the disabled children. His employees are all young deaf and disabled and they also make hammocks sold around the world.

The food is just great, the smoothies are awesome, the coffee is tasty and the services is prompt and courteous.

A great place to eat and interact.

Wonderful ambience

Food and drink was ok - nothing special though

the pace is really cheap and has quality local food. it also has a giant hammock where more than 10 people fit in.
