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!!!!

This is one of the most special places, both the cafe and hammock shop: 1. the cafe is super good quality, perfect prices and the most amazing service personnel who take all the time to communicate / teach you sign language. 2. the hammock production is simply out of world. I gave them a design, asking if they could produce it. They transformed it into the most beautiful hammock. Far beyond my expectations. All handmade, 100% personalized, soooo stunning and supporting handicapped workers. If you are thinking about getting a hammock, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Price, quality and service are outstanding. Support this beautiful vision for a more inclusive and fair world! ❤️

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.

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 didn't eat at the Cafe itself.

They do a lot of amazing work. The restaurant has a few good vegan options. Delicious fruit smoothies. Really nice staff. Around 120 Cordoba for a main dish.

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

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

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

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

(Translated by Google) Super place where they make you feel special like at home .. Recommended. (Original) Súper lugar donde te hacen sentir especial como en casa.. Recomendado.

Goodstuff, quiet,

(Translated by Google) Very good place, good food (Original) Muy buen lugar, buena comida

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

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

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

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

There should be a category above 5 stars and this place should be there. Such a great project. Every tourist in granada should come here to eat, to have a coffee or simply buy one of the art pieces and contribute!

I like the idea behind this venue, supporting deaf people. But the coffee wasn't nice and the service was very poor, almost non-existent. Had this been any other cafe I'd've given 2 or 3 stars. I've added more because it's for a good cause. That feels like positive discrimination which doesn't sit well with me...

A great Place to explore and eat/drink! I'm wishing Smiles Cafe best of luck for the future and thank them for the great service!

It is a little oasis in this old city. This cafe is operated by people with hearing disadvantages but serve good coffee, food at very affordable prices and has a little garden in the center.

Had an awesome hammock made there. Excellent craftsmanship and service!

Fantastic place - well worth a visit. We went as a group for breakfast (which was tasty) but the main joy is in its staff. We had a small lesson in sign language and learnt about the project. Brilliant, please support.

Perfect place to have lunch. Cheap, excellent service and food & it’s for a great cause. 10/10. 100% worth it.

(Translated by Google) Very touching, beautiful lesson of life. (Original) Très touchant, belle leçon de vie.

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.

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 decorations) can run around $50-75USD.

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.

Great atmosphere and story behind this cafe. Highly recommended

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.

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.

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.
