Today we’d like to introduce you to Anara Erkinbaeva.
Hi Anara, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I never planned to own a flower shop. It all happened unexpectedly when I was offered the opportunity to purchase an existing floral business. I took the leap, believing it would be a fresh start.
Unfortunately, just six months later, we unexpectedly had to leave our original location due to circumstances that had not been disclosed before the purchase. Instead of giving up, we decided to start over.
We relocated and created My Deluxe Flowers & Café, combining a flower boutique and a café under one roof. At the time, this was a completely unique concept in our area.
Today, we’ve built much more than a business. We’ve created a place where people celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, proposals, and everyday moments over beautiful flowers and great coffee. Looking back, what felt like our biggest setback became the beginning of something even better.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been an easy road.
Our biggest challenge came only six months after purchasing the business, when we unexpectedly had to relocate the entire flower shop. Starting over required a significant financial investment, rebuilding our customer base, and adapting to a completely new location.
There were many difficult moments, but those challenges pushed us to think differently. Instead of reopening the same business, we created My Deluxe Flowers & Café, a concept that brought together flowers, coffee, and hospitality in one place.
Every challenge taught us resilience, patience, and the importance of believing in our vision. Today, we’re grateful that those difficult moments helped shape the business we have now.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
My Deluxe Flowers & Café is more than a flower shop—it’s an experience.
We created a unique concept that combines a full-service flower boutique with a specialty café, offering our community a place where beautiful flowers, delicious food, specialty coffee, and meaningful moments come together under one roof.
We specialize in handcrafted floral arrangements for everyday occasions, weddings, events, funerals, and celebrations. Alongside our floral services, we serve specialty coffee, handcrafted drinks, desserts, and a carefully curated food menu.
What truly sets us apart is the experience we create. We want every customer to feel welcome, whether they’re buying flowers, meeting a friend for coffee, celebrating a birthday, or planning a special event.
We believe flowers bring people together, and our goal has always been to create a place where people make memories—not just purchases.
Any big plans?
We are always looking for ways to grow while staying true to what makes My Deluxe Flowers & Café special.
In the future, we’d love to expand to additional locations and introduce our flower shop and café concept to more communities.
We’re also planning to continue growing our floral workshops, private events, seasonal experiences, and catering services while introducing new menu items and creative customer experiences.
Most importantly, we want to continue building a brand that people trust and love visiting. Our goal isn’t simply to grow bigger—it’s to create meaningful experiences and become part of the communities we serve.
