Coffee Tree is a comfortable international-style café on the Carretera Masaya that has become a reliable destination for travellers wanting good espresso and wifi. Nicaragua is a significant coffee-growing country — the highlands around Matagalpa and Jinotega produce beans good enough to reach specialty roasters in New York and Amsterdam — and Coffee Tree serves Nicaraguan single-origin coffee done properly, as espresso and filter.
The cafe also has a food menu of salads, sandwiches, and smoothies and operates as a co-working space during the day. It is predictably popular with NGO workers, digital nomads, and travellers who need a few hours of decent internet before catching a bus. The air conditioning works well, which in Managua's heat is not a small thing. Open from 7am.
