Lafayette Café Leader

Derwin Bell

Derwin's journey with Lucky Goat began as a loyal customer at our South Adams location, enjoying the friendly atmosphere and trying new coffees on his way back from work. After earning his degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management from FSU, he decided to turn his love for coffee into a career, eventually becoming Café Lead at our new Lafayette Café.

Growing up in South Florida, Derwin was no stranger to coffee, always starting his day with a Café con Leche or Cuban Espresso. Lucky Goat, however, marks his official debut in the coffee business—here, he thrives on the energy of working with his talented team, managing the café, and bringing smiles to customers' faces. Derwin enjoys all the ways coffee can be made and how it brings people together!

When he's not at work, you can find him enjoying photography, playing video games and Dungeons & Dragons, reading comics, and practicing his latte art skills. Known for his quirky puns & signature hair, Derwin brings his passions and a sense of fun to everything he does.
