Crema's Take

“Raining Berries is a thoughtfully designed Gainesville spot where the care extends from the adorable packaging and custom coffee sleeves down to every plate, making it feel less like a coffee run and more like a ritual. Their açaí bowls and avocado toast have built loyal followings, while the cozy interior and dedicated group study room have made it a favorite for everyone from solo laptop workers to families and friend groups seeking a longer sit. Staff who genuinely seem to love what they do pair perfectly with reasonable prices, creating the kind of place where people happily return multiple times during a single visit to town.”

From the packaging to the "I Love You a Latte" coffe cup sleeves to the delicious Avocado toast, Raining Berries has demonstrated incredible vision for their breakfast delites! Situated in the heart of Gator Nation, off of West University, this little café shop brings so much nostalgia, creativity and comfort for students and professionals! This is how I want to start my working day! Love you a Latte!

Drinks were not bad! Interior was super cute and they have a group study room! The food was delicious for the price! Got a cheese and egg bagel sandwiches and a Nutella strawberry toast for under $7 each! Can't wait to come back! 🥰

This place is so good. We were in Gainesville for a long weekend and ended up coming back 3 times. The açaí bowls are delicious. I got the raining berries bowl every time. My husband had the protein smoothie and said it was delicious as well. They have so many healthy options. We are excited to come back the next time we are in Gainesville!

We stumbled upon Raining Berries as we walked down University as it's located at the base of a lease condo complex. We went in for our usual Lattes and Café Mochas which were Good and I had the three pancakes with fruits. The pancakes 🥞 were Not as fluffy or as large as one might think But the three topping choice they give you makes up for it, I had the strawberries, blueberries, and banana 🍌 toppings which were Fresh. Next day we returned, and the place was much busier than day prior. My son, ordered the egg 🥚 and cheese 🧀 bagel 🥯, and my wife and I the Avocado 🥑 toast. All our food was tasty and arrived by name call out whenever a dish was ready, so not ALL at the same time, which is fine. What could have been better was the service time ⏲️, our food took a VERY long time to be served, and though the place was busy it wasn't overwhelmingly so. Either way we were in No rush so it was Okay. They also offer smoothies, with or without proteins and the serving sizes are comparable to other coffee shops. In fact, their 20oz comes in a mason jar, which you get to keep. The place itself is Big, VERY Clean, and VERY Welcoming. Most of the tables have built in charging ports for phones, laptops 💻 and such. There is also an enclosed study room to really have your quiet time, meeting, coffee ☕️ and/or food. Overall, I Really recommend Raining Berries for Gainseville student needs or other. ENJOY!!
