Mundos and Traverse City

We love Traverse City. We are enamored by the natural grandeur that exists here, the life we live and the moments we share. But above all, we love the people. We want to create spaces where people experience the beauty of coffee and community.  

Because of our love for this place, our goal is to have three separate and unique locations in Traverse City: Mundos West, Mundos 305 and Mundos HQ. 

MUNDOS WEST

In Slabtown, Mundos West will be the place to grab your favorite drink. The cafe at 720 W Front St, will be nestled in a tree covered cove right beside Kids Creek with beautiful creekside seating. Indoor seating will be minimal with the design focused on quality, efficiency, and shorter wait times. Some of our offerings will include grab and go sandwiches and single origin batch brews so you can enjoy quality even if you’re in a rush. At Mundos West there will be special rewards for those who choose to walk, bike, and/or bring in their own reusable cups to this location. It will be the perfect easy stop and wonderful experience. 

MUNDOS 305

A ways down the road, closer to downtown, you will find Mundos 305. Located on the same street, 305 W Front St. will be a brand new community-oriented space. Here you will find large tables to hang out with friends, have meetings, and work from your laptop. The food and drink menu will be expansive and you will get to enjoy your favorite handcrafted pour overs from our rotating slow bar menu. This Mundos location will have the feeling and excitement of downtown TC, but will be set apart with large windows and natural light highlighting the large yet comfortable cafe. This will be a place for you to sit back and take it easy.

We look forward to serving you at both Mundos West and Mundos 305 come spring of 2022. 

MUNDOS CENTRAL

Lastly, our Boon Street location. Opened on November 13th, 2017, this was where our adventure in Traverse City began. Mundos Central is the base of our operations, just 5 minutes southeast of downtown. On your way in, you enjoy the smell of fresh coffee on our roasting days. In the summer, you can sip your coffee while enjoying the outdoor breeze through the open garage door in the front. If you need a quieter space for a meeting or to get work done, you can tuck into a quieter plant filled room with lots of natural light. Mundos Central is where we roast and cup our coffees, as well as create all of our croissants and pastries from scratch. This location is unique with a variety of seating options and our full food and drink menu available. 

We are so excited about the future. Traverse City means a lot to us. We have been so encouraged by the friends and relationships we have made throughout this journey. What started out simply as the dream of a 15-year old kid, turned into a family business that has expanded to include close friends with a shared vision for quality specialty coffee and a love of community.  

Thank you to everyone who has visited and enjoyed a cup of coffee at Mundos. You are a huge part of making this dream come true.

We are completely blown away by the crew at Mundos!  We cannot do this without them. They are huge blessing to us and our entire community. 

We look forward to serving you in the future at all of these locations, including Mundos North, our location in the heart of downtown Suttons Bay.

New Coffees

We have had several new incredible coffees arrive in the past couple weeks. It’s an awesome variety of some of our favorites of 2021. Here’s the rundown:

Ethiopia Kossa Geshe is a natural processed coffee with hints of dark chocolate, blackberry and strawberry. Kossa Geshe is located in Western Ethiopia’s Limmu Kossa District, in the highlands of the Kebena Forest. This 1,000 hectare farm was established in 2009 as a land grant from Ethiopia’s investment agency to safeguard some of the last remaining dense forest in the country. Read more HERE.

Honduras Lempira is a well balanced washed coffee that reminds me of some of my favorite Colombian coffees. It’s full bodied with great sweetness and has notes of red grape, cherry and chocolate. This lot comes from the Lempira department of Honduras, located in the western part of the country. Read more HERE.

Guatemala Ayarza This is an exceptional, naturally processed coffee from the Lake Ayarza region in Guatemala with notes of blueberry, wine and rose. This is the third year we have purchased this particular coffee. It’s always a favorite at Mundos. Read more HERE.

Rwanda Kinini Village is an exceptional coffee with a great story. It has notes of orange, caramel, brown sugar. "Kinini" means, literally, 'this big thing right here'. It is the name of the collaboration of cooperatives seeking to pool their efforts to improve their lots. 85% of the members are women-- we met this group through the IWCA and found the lot from Tumba Village to be something worth sharing. To understand how a group can produce 87 point coffee in their first year of production, you have to understand the people behind the coffee. Dreamers. That's what everyone called Jacquie Turner and Malcolm Clear when they wanted to start a school for children in Eastern Rwanda 10 years ago. Read more HERE.

Kenya Nyeri Peaberry is one of my favorite coffees of all time. It’s exceptionally sweet, balanced with layered acidity and notes of clementine, peach, pomegranate. Nyeri Hill farm lies just 3 km from the famous coffee town of Nyeri, in the heart of Nyeri County. The large estate is run and managed by the Catholic Arch Diocese of Nyeri and is one of the earliest and largest coffee farms in Kenya. Read more HERE.

Kenya Handege is an amazing washed coffee from the Handege Coffee Factory and has notes of red grapefruit and cherry pie. The Handege Coffee Factory is allied with the nearby Wamuguma Coffee Factory under the Ritho Farmers’ Cooperative Society. With headquarters in Gatundu, Ritho has ben operating since 1972. Kenya is an enigma. It occupies a top spot in specialty – Kenyan top lots are always amongst the most expensive of any harvest. But yet it’s a country where coffee production is dropping year over year. Kenya is a place where traceability is given, but knowing what you want and how to get it are two different things. Rarely do we find partners more capable, and loyalties more difficult to navigate than we do in Kenya. For all the aforementioned reasons, competition in Kenya is fierce, making prized coffees feel like even more of a success. Read more HERE.

Mexica Oaxaca Lachao Swiss Water Processed Decaf is the best decaf we have ever had. It seems like the more we search the better the decaf we are able to find. This particular coffee has notes of chocolate, caramel and fig. Oaxacan coffee is grown on small plots spread over a large, diverse range. Well, three ranges actually. Oaxaca is where the Sierra Madre del Sur and Sierra Mixteca ranges come together to form the Sierra Madre Occidental as it heads north. If you follow these ranges south of Oaxaca city towards the coast you find a unique climate - soft, pine-filled forested mountains that give way to steep, craggy coffee fields as you head into the heart of La Pluma.

CLOSED ON SUNDAYS

We will be closed at all locations every Sunday, starting this Sunday, July 11th.

We are all exhausted and need a weekly day to rest.
