Cafe Luz - Esteli

Go to the cafe very often. Friends stop and is a good location open more than others. The bathroom could be a little attention, but most of the time it is sufficient.

Best people, great service, really good prices. A friend recommended us this place as we could pay the night, we did not know whether we would stay there or not, we spent the whole week here for $30 per night in a room that could fit all 3 of us. Among the people of Earth, a very honest and ethical social enterprise. Food is amazing. $3 for the best breakfast in town. Safe, fun and very helpful if you need any instructions or anything. You stay long enough at the bar, sooner or later you will make friends with locals or other visitors and really enjoy the true Estelí Vibe. I would recommend this place to everyone without hesitating.

A beautiful café in connection with the hostel of the same name on the street. They have a nice selection of non-typical dishes that will enjoy most tourists. We enjoyed their food and for breakfast, lunch and dinner on separate days. It is a great place to work on your laptop while you have coffee or a drink. It can be packed in the evening as it is a rather popular place. They also offer inexpensive tours that start from here.

Something has changed since 2018, but it is a large international café/restaurant. You really need to get some fleees, but I can't enjoy breakfast without 5 other flies trying to enjoy it! Perks are the vegetarian options, non-smoking area, laundry service, access to community events, their support of local family farms.

We stopped here to get a cigar factory tour and that was really cool. Very personal and small group plus the guy seemed to know what he was talking about (according to our translator). If you bring cash you can buy straight from the factory. The food was okay. I ordered fajitas and they were like I expected for the states (real fajitas). We also got the nachos and lasagna, which were both pretty decent. As I mentioned earlier, you need cash to buy cigars direct and we had just run out, so we bought from the restaurant. BIG MISTAKE! They were really dry and fell apart when I tried to smoke them. Major bummer.
