Authentic Rwandan Coffee House – Musanze

Nestled in the heart of Musanze, our Authentic Rwandan Coffee House invites travellers to savor the rich aromas of locally grown beans while soaking up panoramic views of the Virunga volcanoes. As you step inside, the rustic yet modern design blends natural wood, stone, and bright Rwandan fabrics, creating a cozy atmosphere. Our baristas hand-roast single-origin beans sourced from small cooperatives across Rwanda, ensuring every cup supports local farmers.

Guests can join coffee cupping sessions, learn about the bean-to-brew journey, or simply relax on our terrace with a cappuccino, enjoying views of the forested hills. Our menu celebrates Rwandan heritage, offering organic pastries, mandazi, banana bread, and seasonal fruit. We also provide light savory dishes such as goat cheese quiches, avocado toast, and samosas, all prepared with ingredients from nearby farms. Families appreciate our kid-friendly corner stocked with books and games, while digital nomads enjoy free high-speed Wi-Fi and quiet work nooks.

Musanze is the gateway to Volcanoes National Park, and our coffee house is the perfect place to start or end a gorilla trekking adventure. We open early, at 6 a.m., to ensure hikers can grab fresh-brewed coffee and a packed snack before heading to the park headquarters. Throughout the day, visitors can take part in barista-led latte art workshops, and evenings often feature acoustic performances by local musicians, creating a vibrant community feel.

Whether you’re seeking a caffeine fix after trekking with gorillas, a place to meet fellow travelers, or a quiet corner to reflect, our Authentic Rwandan Coffee House offers a warm welcome. It’s a space where culture, sustainability, and hospitality converge, delivering an unforgettable taste of Rwanda’s coffee tradition. Our coffee house opens daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., providing early-bird breakfasts and evening gatherings. We offer vegetarian and vegan options, and our staff speak multiple languages to welcome travellers from around the world.
