Makuna Açaí Bowl

My name is Taina, and I’m the proud founder of Makuna Açaí, a brand born from passion, culture, and a deep desire to share the taste of my Brazilian roots with my community in Florida. Makuna Açaí is more than just a food business, it’s my personal story served in a bowl. As a Brazilian living in the U.S., I saw an opportunity to bring the authentic flavor and energy of real açaí to a market that was ready for something both delicious and meaningful. Our recipes are crafted with care, using top-quality ingredients that stay true to traditional Brazilian style. 

We believe açaí is more than a trend — it’s a lifestyle. And we’ve built a loyal community around that idea.

As a woman-led, immigrant-owned small business, every step of this journey has been built with hard work, resilience, and a lot of heart. I’m proud to represent not just a brand, but a cultural connection and to be part of Pensacola vibrant and diverse entrepreneurial community.
