Countries Coffee

Naples-based Countries Coffee owner Ashlee Mungo said the inspiration for her business came from her extensive world travel.

“I’ve been to 61 countries, either by myself, with friends, and with family,” Mungo said. “Whenever I’m in a country, I like to really dive deep, try their food, and experience life through their eyes. All the flavors are inspired by countries around the world.”

Founded in May of this year and in its inaugural year at the Marco Farmers’ Market, Countries Coffee sells an array of flavored coffees from around the world, using beans roasted in Naples.

Mungo said that her Belgian blend is the most popular, featuring “a cooking butter smear with vanilla syrup and whole milk,” she said, noting that oat and almond milk are also offered. “I also have sugar-free flavors and spreads with white chocolate, dark chocolate, honey cookie, butter, and maple, with the rest all syrups.” Mungo also sells a “flight” that allows customers to try two different blends in a special cup that holds the two flavors separately.
