About Us

At Jona Bells Café, we believe that great food has the power to bring people together, nourish the body, and spark joy in every moment. Our story is one of family, passion, and a deep love for Brazilian culture and cuisine.

The heart of Jona Bells Café is rooted in David’s deep love for Brazilian culture and cuisine. Inspired by family meals and a passion for authentic flavors, David traveled to Brazil to immerse himself in the country’s rich food traditions. After sourcing the finest ingredients and discovering the best açaí, he returned home with a mission: to bring the true taste of Brazil to Lakeland, Florida.

The café’s name, Jona Bells Café, is a tribute to David’s two daughters, Joni and Bella, who have always been his greatest inspiration. While David laid the foundation for the café, it’s Joni and Bella who now run the show. With their passion for hospitality and a shared love for the community, Joni and Bella have taken the reins as the café’s managers, continuing their father’s dream and bringing their own unique energy and vision to the business.

Opening its doors just a year and a half ago, Jona Bells Café has quickly become a beloved spot in Lakeland, known for its authentic açaí bowlsgourmet coffees, and delicious pastries. Our goal is simple: to provide the freshest, healthiest, and most flavorful food possible, while creating a warm, inviting space where people can relax, connect, and enjoy the goodness of life.

At Jona Bells Café, every dish is carefully crafted with a commitment to quality and authenticity. Whether you’re starting your day with a vibrant açaí bowl packed with nutrient-rich fruits, sipping on a meticulously brewed cup of coffee, or enjoying one of our freshly baked pastries, we want you to feel like you’re experiencing something special.

We’re proud to serve the best coffee in Lakeland, paired with a welcoming atmosphere that reflects the energy and charm of Brazil. Our focus is on sourcing only the highest-quality ingredients, prioritizing freshness and sustainability in everything we do. We aim to serve food that’s not only delicious but also good for you – nourishing both body and soul.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We’re honored to share our love for Brazilian food and culture with you, and we look forward to continuing to serve our wonderful community for years to come.
