I needed to pick up flowers last minute for my wife's childhood friend who recently lost her dad, and our kids have been sick so we did not have a chance to pick anything up ahead of time. I searched Yelp and found Alameda Floral Design. I called and a very kind lady answered. I already knew what I wanted from looking at their website ahead of time and asked if they could have it ready today. I was expecting a yes but maybe later in the afternoon. Instead she said it would be ready in thirty minutes. The arrangement looked exactly like the photo online and the flowers were fresh and beautifully put together. The service, speed, and quality all exceeded my expectations. Prices are reasonable and the customer care is outstanding. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely return. read more

My same-day order was delivered in a timely manner - I requested pastel-colored tulips. But 5 of the 15 were deep purple and another third of them were so wide-open, you knew their petals would soon be falling off in a day or two. I called to complain and was graciously told , with apologies, that she would have more flowers sent over later that day. More indeed came .. but my daughter says they too were either deep purple or very opened petals! I don't understand. But I won't order from them again. read more

I'm not ashamed to admit that I do not have a green thumb (my mom and three sisters do, however). So, my project today was to replace the remnants of my mom's sad looking jade plant. I guess I overwatered it at some point or mistakenly put scented pine cones in the pot to prop up the stems. Walking back to our car we passed by this small shop with a cart full of succulents. Lots of different types, sizes and colors to choose from. I asked the owner, Lily, if she could help me fill my existing pot with fresh succulents and arrange them for me since, you know, I don't have a green thumb! Amazing transformation! Lily even saved the few stems of my mom's jade plant that is now happily living amongst its new potmates. I'm so happy I stopped in and am grateful that Lily accommodated me while at the same time fulfilling phone orders and floral arrangements to be delivered. 1000% recommend this business and will definitely be back to ask her how to keep these beautiful succulents alive! read more

I ordered a graduation lei from this place and honestly, I wasn't super impressed. The lei was $50 for a standard purple lei. I'm not sure if this was a standard price, but I felt it was a little pricey. (Later I found out Costco were selling them for $21). But they were a local florist and I wanted to support local businesses. Service: The lady over the phone and the one who gave me the flowers was very nice. No complaints here. Overall: I would probably give this place another try in the future for any florist needs. read more

My partner turned fifty last week and I wanted to knock her out with something special this year. Alameda Floral Design did not disappoint!!!

Ordered a number of flower arrangements from AFD for a Tuesday event. Made sure I ordered on a Thursday at the latest as the SF flower mart is closed weekends and Monday. Thus, Bay Area florists need to pick up their flowers Friday for weekend thru Tuesday events. They pick unopened to almost opened buds to ensure they'll be perfect for early in the week events. AFF was very professional, they were able to print all the names on flower ribbons, the arrangements matched the on-line pictures, and arrangements were delivered the evening before the event. Very professional husband and wife team. I did not attach pictures for privacy purposes due to the names on ribbons, but rest assured they were beautiful presentations. Order by phone or meet by appointment. read more

We ordered 2 sympathy sprays and they were perfect! Exactly what I wanted. I had ordered the Heartfelt Sympathy Spray but switched out for red roses as they're were my Grandpa's favorite color. We also did the Sunrise Spray for the tropical colorful feel. Lili was wonderful to work with. Responsive, friendly and sympathetic! She worked with me, made the process easy and delivered everything on time! Thank you so much Lili. The flowers meant a lot to my family especially the 8 great grandkids who gifted these flowers to our Grandpa. Highly recommend Lili and Alameda Floral Designs! read more

My husband ordered flowers from Alameda Floral Design for our anniversary yesterday. The flowers was accidentally delivered to the wrong address. The company who received the flower googled the address on the card and contacted me to let me know they received flowers addressed to me. Luckily they were just a few blocks away from my office. I was so thankful of her to take the time to find me, making sure the flower get to me. I came to work this morning and was surprise to see a beautiful flower arrangement sent to me By Alameda Flower Design. I love their gesture and will continue to order from them. I hardly write review but their excellent customer service touched my heart. read more

Flowers delivered to wrong address. Florist insisted that they had delivered to the correct address. Finally had to get the person who received the flowers at the wrong address to deliver them to the correct address. Fortunately was a condo building and the incorrect addressee graciously took the flowers to the correct unit. When I asked the florist for the delivery fee to be credited since they delivered to the wrong address and I had spent a half hour on the phone trying to straighten it out they refused to credit the delivery fee. So just be prepared to trouble shoot their mistakes. read more

My sister passed unexpectedly and we received a couple of beautiful arrangements from Alameda Floral Design. One of the arrangements included white lilies which I am hopelessly allergic to. I called the shop the day after they were delivered to ask if it might be possible to swap out the lilies for an unscented flower and they were so kind and thoughtful to suggest alternatives. The lilies were swapped out within an hour with exactly what I requested and the arrangement is stunning and fresh. Alameda Floral Design was great about calling ahead before making deliveries to ensure we were home. We also received an arrangement accompanied by Belgian chocolates and they were delivered in perfect condition. Thank you Alameda Floral Design for the lovely flowers to comfort me during such a sad time of my life. I cannot express the sorrow of losing a younger sibling. read more

I'm in NYC and wanted to buy flowers for my mother-in-law in Alameda. I looked online at several floral shop sites in both Alameda and Oakland, and chose Alameda Floral Design for the combo of pricing, variety, tastefulness, and the great reviews on Yelp for Shirley. I called rather than ordering online because I've heard that Covid has hurt flower stores' ability to get as much product as usual and was wary about substitutions. But Shirley told me my top choice (a combo of blue hydrangea, white lilies, and other blue and white blooms) was indeed in stock and available for delivery the next day. My MIL was SO THRILLED -- she sent a bunch of pictures of this lush, luxuriant bouquet. WAY more than worth the money. And Shirley even called to follow up and tell me the flowers had been delivered. A perfect shopping/gifting experience all around. read more

Ordered flowers for my brother's funeral. Alameda Floral Design was the contracted florist. On the day of the visitation, we received a call asking what time should they deliver the flowers. When we were getting ready to leave for the viewing, we received a call from the delivery person asking directions on where to deliver the flowers. When I called Alameda Floral Design, they tried to say they didn't call my phone (I have caller ID). She then said she canceled my order (a lie). What made it worse is that when I arrived for the viewing, instead of the funeral spray I ordered, what was delivered was a vase with roses tied with a pink ribbon. Unprofessional company. I was lucky to get my money back. I would give zero stars if I could. read more

Flowers for my father in law funeral were beautiful, just like the picture, also ordering was easy and fast. Amazing customer service and delivery and placement of the arrangements was made by them and it was very nice not to have to worry of one more thing during the death of a family member, I didn't think price was high at all and the quality of the flowers was outstanding, they also work w the funeral home to make delivery easy and on time, they even added the stand for one of the arrangements! I will start to use them for all flowers related services and hope not for another funeral. read more

Flower arrangement was fine. Delivery service could have been better (rang doorbell a lot)

I may be in the minority, but I expect businesses to have a price that is clearly articulated, not changed based on "Charge what you think you can get". when I first came in I noticed gladiolas in the cold case and asked what they cost and she told me $1.50 per. I thought that was a good price and said I would be back later for those. The woman in the store told me flowers are charged by the stem and helped me pick out a few stems - mostly filler flowers like snapdragons, with 2 roses. She asked if I wanted some greenery and added a couple of those. while I was waiting for her to wrap them up I asked again about the gladiolas and she told me $3 per stem. When she gave me the bouquet I asked her how much, and she said, $100? With a question in her voice. Which, by the stem would be $8-$10 per stem, which is ridiculous. I guess I was supposed to haggle - there is not a price to be seen anywhere in the store. read more

My daughter has a specific favorite flower that isn't part of the ftd world, so I was eager to find it during the quarantine. At least she could get nice flowers, right?

I prepaid for a flower delivery, but the delivery was never received. The phone number from their confirmation email didn't work.

The arrangement I ordered for a funeral last week was one of the most beautiful arrangements I've every seen. The deceased received lots of sprays and wreaths but mine was the one they chose to place in the most prominent spot, underneath the photo of the deceased. I could not be happier. Beautiful work. Here is a photo of Garden of Memories arrangement. Turned out exactly like the photo on their website. read more

One for each kid to hand to their Mom. 13 kids Michael: 13 individually wrapped carnations? Me: yes Michael: no we don't have time for that. Click Me (after he hung up on me) next question was going to be "ok how about just 13 carnations. Don't need to be wrapped. Nothing fancy just sell me 13 flowers" Didn't get the chance to ask. I'll ask the next florist i guess Happy Mothers Day read more
