FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

Raining Berries was born from a shared dream, a deep love for coffee, and the unique bond between a father and his two children. What began as a career pivot for Bimal, a longtime educator, quickly turned into a full-fledged family venture when his daughter—then a sophomore at the University of Florida—and his teenage son, Dylan, joined forces to build something extraordinary. Drawing on their family’s roots in the Ugandan coffee industry and a desire to create a space that was modern, vibrant, and inclusive, the trio began developing Raining Berries in 2018 and launched the concept in 2020. 

​

With premium espresso drinks, healthy açaí bowls, and community-minded features like free meeting rooms, the café quickly became more than just a coffee shop—it became a lifestyle brand. While juggling her college studies, Deah found her passion in this creative, ever-evolving business. Dylan learned the ins and out of business, and has been an integral part of growing the brand since he was a junior in high school. Both managed to graduate college with honors, while working full time to build the brand.

Today, with 10 locations across Central Florida and national expansion underway—including partnerships with pro athletes and Tampa Bay’s first women’s soccer team—Raining Berries is redefining what a coffee shop can be. What makes the journey truly special? Building it together, as a family.
