LAKELAND, Fla — Amonie Jo's is a news place to get organic coffee and treats in downtown Lakeland. Patrice Williams, owner of Amonie Joe's, was inspired by their mother to build the coffee shop while she was battling cancer. They saw the difference that eating an organic diet made to her health and wanted to share it with others.
Williams is from Winter Haven and loves being a part of the Polk County and Lakeland community.
Amonie Jo's is located at 401 South Florida Avenue in Lakeland

“We’ve struggled so hard to scrape the money to be able to do this for her,” Irizarry said. “She’s my only girl and I wanted this so much for her.”
Couples and families who had weddings and events planned at a well-known venue that abruptly closed claim they’re out thousands of dollars and aren’t being given refunds. Annette Irizarry was supposed to hold her 15-year-old daughter’s quinceañera in August at the Clearwater location and said she’s now out the $6,160 she paid. Without that money, Irizarry said she can’t afford to have her daughter’s celebration somewhere else.
