Specialties
At Jebena Joy Cafe, we offer a mobile Eritrean and Ethiopian coffee ceremony experience, bringing this rich tradition directly to homes, venues, and events across Los Angeles. Our service includes live coffee roasting, traditional brewing in a jebena, and freshly prepared coffee served on-site.
More than just coffee, it is an interactive cultural experience rooted in tradition, hospitality, and connection. Guests enjoy the aroma of freshly roasted beans, learn the meaning behind the ceremony, and come together over freshly brewed coffee.
Our mobile coffee ceremony is ideal for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, private celebrations, cultural gatherings, and special occasions. We provide everything needed to create a warm and memorable experience at your location.
Pouring tradition, brewing connection.
Meet the Business Owner: Menal K.
Hi, I’m Menal Kidane, founder of Jebena Joy Cafe. I grew up with the coffee ceremony as part of everyday life.
My mom taught me how to prepare it, and I watched how coffee always brought people together at weddings, birthdays, holidays, and family gatherings.
When I came to Los Angeles as a refugee, I arrived alone. I quickly realized how much I missed sitting together, talking, and sharing coffee. It reminded me that the ceremony is not just about coffee, it is about hospitality, community, & making people feel at home.
That feeling inspired me to start Jebena Joy Cafe three years ago. Today, I bring our mobile Eritrean and Ethiopian coffee ceremony to weddings, birthdays, baby showers, wellness events, church and community gatherings, restaurant pop-ups, and special occasions.
My goal is simple: to help people feel welcomed, peaceful, and connected while experiencing our culture.
For me, coffee has always been about bringing people together, that is the heart of Jebena Joy Cafe.
