Raining Berries - Alafaya

Tried this place with some friends near opening time. The interior is sleek, bright and spotless, which is to be expected of a newly opened establishment. It has cute, feminine touches which offer nice photo ops. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte, which is offered hot or cold. I requested hot, which wasn't delivered hot enough. It was more lukewarm, yet still tasted nice. Just needed to be hotter. Took a while to get our orders, as well. I wasn't in a hurry though, so not really an issue.I also had the Eggocado Toast. The price of $13.99 might seem a bit steep, but the quantity and quality are worth it. It has a nice kick, thanks to the sriracha, and it is generously loaded. Definitely filling.Overall, a pleasant place to stop for some refreshment.

Let me start off by saying this place is cute! They did such a great job with the decorations. Everything they have looks delicious and I was so excited to try this place today. However, I feel a little bit deceived with the prices. The menu that is up on the wall (see photo) said the smoothie I got was $7.99. When I went to order, it came up to about $11 something ($10.99 + tax). I looked at the menu thinking it was my mistake but the price is $7.99. I told the lady at the register and she seemed to be a bit confused as well, and finally said that it looked like there was a price increase, and if I wanted to pick something else. I went ahead with the smoothie, but I honestly do not like surprises like this. Also this place is right by UCF. I used to be a student there once and pretty much lived paycheck to paycheck. I'm sure the students would like to know the prices they are paying beforehand. Now for the smoothie - I got the Berry Nutty Smoothie, which consists of Strawberries, Bananas, Peanut Butter, Agave, Almond Milk. To me it just tasted like a strawberry smoothie with peanut butter. It really wasn't anything special, and yes I would have paid the $7.99 for this, but not the $10.99...Aside from that the staff was nice, place is clean and great spot for photos. I do eventually want to try their açaí bowls and gelato as they seemed to be more reasonably priced.

My family & I were doing some shopping in Waterford Lakes Town Center this past weekend when we stumbled upon Raining Berries. It appears to be fairly new to the area. After doing a lot of walking outside, we were really craving something cool & refreshing. The inside is bright & clean with some cute photo-ops like a floral wall and neon signs. I decided to try to the Passion Berry smoothie (strawberries, banana, pineapple, passion fruit syrup, and apple juice). I love anything passion fruit flavored so that really sold me. My order took a while considering there was no one else in there at that time. The smoothie was fine, but it really just tasted like a basic strawberry smoothie and I didn't pick up on any of the other flavors. The staff was friendly and welcoming and also offered samples of their gelato. I declined, but maybe next time. They also have açaí bowls, toasts, sandwiches, and coffee. Since this place is so close to UCF, I see it being a good healthy option for college students in the area.

The food is acai, smoothies and some food items on their menu. I ordered an acai bowl with matcha base which was good. It tasted more like matcha icecream with fruits on it but it was 8/10. I also got the passion berry smoothie which was very good! I was the only one who had ordered at the time and they forgot my smoothie completely but she apologized and was nice about it.This was the Soft opening with lots of seating and great spot for aesthetic photos. They had a wheel to spin but I wasn't told about it although that why I went. I told the cashier it was my first time and they didn't explain the menu or recommended anything.

Raining Berries in Waterford Lakes Towncenter is one of the newest establishments to open up. They are an acai bowl place with addition food options like avocado toast as well as coffee. The atmosphere here is fun with a modern aesthetic that makes it the perfect spot to hang out. Their acai bowls and smoothies are fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented - I've tried a few different options, and they're always top-notch. The staff is super friendly and efficient, making every visit enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a quick, healthy snack or a spot to relax and unwind, it's the place to be.

We stopped in at Raining Berries after we met the owner in a nearby store (he was raising awareness for their opening). I was really pleased that they were able to switch out bananas for me (all the smoothies had bananas) and I was really happy with the way the smoothie tasted. The quality seemed high. We had a coupon so we had a discount, but I think full priced this spot is a bit pricy.

All the itens I had were delicious ! Specially the açaí which comes from Brazil! I was happy when I found that out! my favorite was the smoothie and the bowl! The place is so cute and welcoming ! Me and my boyfriend had a beautiful afternoon over there after my class at Valencia College. Also the staff was fantastic! They take great care of us, and all other guests that were there during my stay! And plus, amazing music choices! I always give extra points to places with good music !

I gave them a little leniency since they were busy and it was grand opening weekend (I think they've only had a week of soft opening) but here is my truthful experience. Additionally, I paid 50% off regular prices for everything for opening weekend so it makes me feel better about errors. The food- 7/10. The food was all tasty! There's plenty of variety to appease anyone in your party. However, while it tasted good, there was something a little bit off with everything we ordered. Starting with the drinks, the flavors need to be stronger. The Dragon Blast smoothie (priced $9.99- Pitaya, Pineapple, Strawberries, Banana, Coconut Water) only tasted like bananas in my opinion and the fall Honey Maple latte ($4.99) tasted like slightly sweet coffee. I didn't taste anything distinct there. Next time I'll try the lavender coffee and see if there's a difference. For food, my sister and I ordered the Go Go Goji bowls ($12.99- Granola, Banana, Strawberries, Blueberries, Goji Berries, Almond Slices). We thought these were delicious and full of toppings. The only thing was I got the dragonfruit/pitaya base and she got açaí. Her's was so frozen that it was hard to eat and she had to wait for it to melt a little. Lastly, we got the Gourmet Grilled Cheese ($10.99- Colby Jack Cheese, Pesto, Sundried tomatoes) to share. These came with packaged chips but I didn't get to choose the flavor. And even though it was a grilled cheese, some of the bread was not grilled and the cheese was not at all melted. The service- 9/10. The workers were actively cleaning the public spaces as many people filed through. The cashier was helpful in answering questions and promoted their loyalty program. The person calling out orders called out my name and I collected my to go order and walked outside. My sister noticed the bag was light and said that I was missing a sandwich. As I walked back in to get it, the worker was calling out my name. It's a small thing but noting that she was calling out a partial order would've been helpful. What if I had driven home? She did offer a drink carrier for my two drinks which I declined but it was appreciated. The ambiance- 9/10. Very pretty place but it's in a small location. Using valuable sitting space for photo ops seems silly to me. Overall- a hesitant 8/10. They need to work on consistency and delivery but I can see this quickly becoming a town center staple once they figure it all out.

I wanna start off with the fact that this place isn't all so bad. I went during a late night shift about an hour before close. I was met with the sweetest worker ever as I'm waiting for my Akai bowl. I look around at the scenery and fall in love with the ambience, the flower wall, the telephone, etc.. I paid about $12 for a custom açai bowl. It looks delicious, but as I tried, I met with a watery bowl. It was absolutely horrendous. Not even the fruits could save it.

Very cute place. Coffee butter latte was great! Grilled cheese needed some spice. Had to add salt. Green dream was good and healthy. Overall recommend!
