This was one of my favorite stores in the River Market until last week. I had some friends visiting from out of town and wanted to show them around a few of my favorite local shops. When we arrived at Dutch Flowers, a man was standing directly in the entrance watering plants. The hose was stretched across the walkway and water was spraying around the entrance. At first, we waited patiently, assuming he would pause for a moment so we could enter. Instead, he looked at us and continued watering. After waiting a bit longer, I politely asked if we could get by. His response was, "Well, I guess if you want," but he still didn't stop watering, move the hose, or step aside. One member of our group is pregnant, so navigating around a hose and standing water created an unnecessary tripping hazard. As we walked past, I made a frustrated comment under my breath. In response, the man came through the door yelling profanity, telling us to get out of the store, calling us offensive names, and attempting to escalate the situation in front of customers. The young woman working at the counter was very apologetic and handled the situation professionally. She mentioned that this was not the first incident of this nature and identified the individualh as Joe, a manager. I understand that everyone has bad days, but this level of hostility toward customers is unacceptable. I had always enjoyed supporting this business, but after this experience, I can no longer recommend it. I hope ownership takes customer service concerns like this seriously. read more

This is one of my favorite shops at the city market. I may not always buy something every time I go, but I do love to go in and look around and see all the cool pottery for your garden and lawn and different novelty items that they have. Today, I found another room in the back. I did not realize they had. You never know what you're fine when you're out wandering around if you're in the city market area stop in to Dutch flowers see what you can find. I did have several people ask if I needed any help. Some of the items I looked at were a value and I would pay that price. Some items had no prices. Hours are Monday through Friday 10 AM to 5 PM read more

An absolute must stop if you are in the City Market area because they pretty much have everything in here - including a kitchen sink likely. Dutch Flowers is perfect if you're looking for all manner of gifts or souvenirs. You can find something for everyone here and will need at least a good half hour to take it all in (sensory overload). Some items were a bit more adult-minded, so be aware if bringing kids. I did think a few items were just flat-out overpriced, but you won't see anything like Dutch Flowers anywhere else in the area. It's a real stand-out... read more

The selection is great. Last year I bought a merman statue that was almost two feet tall and I was able to carry him onto my flight home. Here are a few photos I took. I just wish the giant five foot merman was a little cheaper. Definitely thought about buying Bigfoot too. I love checking this place out! It definitely has unique items! Service is never an issue. read more

This shop has so much more than it's exterior let's on. The front room is a garden center, but as you go in there are different rooms with all sorts of books, decor, jewelry, and handmade items. It's a fun place to look around, pick up some sage, or get something quirky for your home. Though I did find the prices of some items to be a little high. read more

this is a really cool store. Full of yard art. It takes a couple of hours to get through the store. Lots to look at. Fun shopping

They everything I need. I always buy fresh flowers from there. They are like a floral boutique. They have fun gifts

This was my favorite store until today. They have so many cute/funny items and a great plant selection, plus I love supporting local businesses. However, it was a busy Saturday (as to be expected) and unfortunately the man at the register, you know, with the man-bun, was having a bad day. We had just made our purchases and as I turned around to leave with my young children in tow he says "move the f*** out of the way" loud enough for me to hear him very clearly. I know he was referring to myself and my family as he stared ahead at the line. I would've loved to "move the f*** out of the way" but sometimes it takes my three year old a moment. Please note, this was immediately following me saying "have a great day!". I told my husband after we left and he went back in to get the guys name. Of course, as expected, he refused. He then said he "would never" and "would not dignify it". Of course you can't, you lack zero dignity to begin with. I hope your day gets better, miserable bun-man. p.s. there are several books on kindness and meditation that are for sale there, you should read a page or two. read more

I've been here a few times over the years and had positive experiences, but I've been twice in the last week and the customer service has been pretty horrible. On the first occasion, a man followed me around the store as though I was going to steal something. At the time, I thought he was a customer but from reading other reviews, I now realize he was security and was following me around because I was the only brown person in the store. On the same visit, my husband said that the blonde cashier (not the one with long straight hair) was just staring him down with a dirty look. Anyway, on our second visit in the same week, the same blonde cashier was very rude once again and looked at us as like "wtf are you doing here?" like we weren't supposed to be in there. I'm not sure what her issue is with us but I suspect it is racially motivated. I read some other reviews and noticed others have mentioned experiencing racial profiling while in this store. I wish I hadn't spent so much money here, and am definitely going to find a place with friendlier customer service. read more

I wanted to spend so much time here, but, alas... I first started poking around at this end of the Rivermarket because I saw all the live plants but when I saw the prices I backed off because things were easily 50-100% more than other places I've been. As I went further into this shop I was really into it. Fun things to buy for yourself or give as gifts! I wondered how they ever do an inventory of this place there are SO. MANY. THINGS. The only thing you have to watch out for are the prices. As in the nursery section, some prices were way high. But great fun. read more

I got screamed at by the owner for taking flowers that they put out each week for free, and when I say screamed that is an understatement. She absolutely had a meltdown, calling me a thief and smacked the flowers out of my hand. Everyone from my office has gotten the free flowers and have had a bad experience with her. read more

Was just at this store, employee with the man bun, ripped a necklace i had just paid for out of my hands because he thought i was stealing. My boyfriend wanted to know what the problem was and the employee said "it's none of your fucking business" then he proceeded to push him into a shelf, my boyfriend tried to defend himself and the employee tried to swing at him making him drop his camera. the amount of unprofessionalism i just experienced is crazy. waiting for a call back from the manager to work this out. I will repost if they take down my review. read more

I've had several good experiences here until this last one. I don't quite understand where my order went wrong, but I'm looking at a bouquet that doesn't really match what I asked for. I called in my order and the man on the line hung up on me when taking my order, and I'm not quite sure they confirmed all the details. Looking at my bouquet, it seems super apparent that they didn't. I'm unhappy with my order because I think they really skimped on the flowers this time. I don't think I'll be coming back after this one. read more

Always a fun stop on your walk through the city market. Whether you're an aspiring plant mom, a botanical pro or suffer from a chronic absence of a green thumb, they've got some interesting decor and knock knacks and giftable utensils to look through. read more

The selection is really great, I love all the loc offerings, however, what stood out was the superb customer service. I went in to pick up a new coworker some mini succulents, a pot, and some soil so they could join our succulent team building happy hour. I was not very familiar with succulents and the lady working was very helpful in setting it all up. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and just incredibly polite. I'll definitely come back for future potting needs. read more

Lately, been coming here with my mom to check out this floral place. It's a cute store with lots of plants and floral for any occasions. I enjoyed the lovely bouquets they have here. Everything is fresh and reasonable and good for last min gifts incase if you forget your anniversary or birthday, or a good pick me up item. I really enjoyed the coming here each time and it's always something new. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone as well. read more

During my most recent visit to Dutch flowers I was not pleased. I arrived on a Saturday morning as they were opening. A nice person was unlocking the locks around the plants and flowers. Upon entering an employee was pushing a cart and he barked at me and said "Are you coming in or out." As I was clearly trying to enter the store. Then I said. As you can see I am walking forward. So then he took his hands off the cart he was pushing and put his hands on me and to not touch me so then the EMPLOYEE AT DUTCH FLOWERS CALLED Me A RETARD and a Ni**ER! Then the owner of Dutch Flowers came outside and pointed her finger in my face and I told her to get her finger out of my face. I had gone to this store for over ten years now. But after being called a Retard and a Ni**er I will never return to this store. I do not support businesses that allow their employees to make comments on a person's 'disabilities' and racial slurs and making fun of a person's ethic background by calling them such a word is terrible. I contacted security and the administrative staff that oversees the security and this issue has been made known. Please consider where you shop. If you don't like to be physically and verbally assaulted I suggest that you do not shop at Dutch Flowers. It's twenty twenty four no one should be fearful to go shopping for flowers and plants. That should never be a traumatizing experience. read more

So disappointed. Really offensive pictures and items. Not family friendly or adult friendly. I just wanted to buy flowers not to be insulted. The clerk even commented he was not in favor! read more

My friends and I decided to stop by at this flower shop since it was seemed pretty cool. We walked around the store and we stopped by the stickers and pin station. We were immediately intrigued by the selection and my sister had even asked the cashier lady with short grayish hair how much the pins were. I had taken a look at the evil eye bracelets and I had noticed the guy with a beard keep looking over the counter but I decided to just ignore it. I had put the bracket back bc I was uninterested and decided to just get stickers. The short gray haired lady just kept looking over the counter at my friends and even walking behind my sister by the pins as if we were gonna steal something. Mind you, we're Hispanic. We had no intentions of stealing and we were even talking about purchasing things so there was no reason for us to try and steal her $4 dollar stickers when she should be concerned ab the more expensive stuff outside of the store. There was another older white lady that walked in the store and she was not being followed or being glared at. It felt racially motivated bc as soon as we purchased our stickers she jumped in front of me and accused me of taking an Evil eye bracelet. And i told her that I had put that back a long time ago and she felt ashamed but she should because first of all that's horrible customer service. And to accuse us just bc we're young and Hispanic is another thing. Why would you wait until we purchased our items to accuse us like that. If I had known she was a racist ass white lady then I would never support her small business. Never supporting from them. For all my Latinos and POCs out there reading this, save yourself some time and support other locally owned small business because these people are not the type to be buying from. Son unos pinche pendejos que no agradecen nada! read more

This place is badass! There are so many great pots and fun things to buy in there! I come here every time I go to the river market because I see something new every single time. I love the bags they have and the candles smell amazing. Definitely a great spot for any garden! read more

I don't know of any other place in the downtown area that is quite as eclectic when it comes to plants, outdoor decorations and home décor. There truly is something here for everyone. During the growing season, they have a varied assortment of plants and cut flowers to buy, during the off season, they still have a huge store filled with gifts and decorations. My mother loves the selection of pet sweaters while my sister loves the assortment of buddha statues and bamboo. I bought my dad a puzzle of the national parks for Christmas and I got my grandma some wall art. Those are just some examples of the types of things other than flowers you can find at Dutch Flowers. This place is a great way to spend some time on a chilly or rainy day at the market. read more

This place is really pretty, but the leasing manager or just manager of the store is really rude and I have a video of her racial profiling. This store should be shut down or the manager should be fired. Make sure to always keep a camera on you if you're not white. I wanted to buy something, but I don't support this. read more

Fact: I have a green thumb(nail. Just got a manicure). Dutch Flowers makes me very happy. Tucked inside the River Market, it's location is perfect because you can easily park your car just a couple feet away so that when you're traipsing down the block with your huge box of floral arrangements in 100 degree heat (I ain't lying!), you don't have to walk clear across the entire market in the scorching sun to reach your car. But that would be a selfish reason upon which to base my rating Dutch Flowers. (Can you tell I'm just about *done* with summer by now? I'm at the point where I'm craving January and February's blizzards). This rather large shop is an urban nursery, i.e. not *just* a flower shop where you'll find roses to give a date or dead person. Besides handling fresh floral arrangements and bouquets, there's a cornucopia of plants, pots and gardening delights spilling outside the shop from the greenhouse/antechamber. The smells are incredible (they have jasmine... my favorite, in case anyone should want to know) and it's really a sight for (sun) sore eyes. A verdant oasis, if you will. When browsing the market, be sure and stop here to take in all the pretty! read more

My boyfriend and I were followed around the store the whole entire time we were inside... and the woman didn't even attempt to hide it. After looking for about ten minutes we asked the two staff members behind the register a question and they were extremely short and rude with us even with us being friendly after being followed. It ruined the store for us completely and I will never recommend. read more

Excellent little gardening store located at Rivermarket! They carry your basic things for the garden but they also carry a wide and assorted variety of decorative items for your garden! I have been here twice now and got a gorgeous little flower pot with glass cemented to the side of the pot and on the second visit I bought a huge black cat ornament for Halloween! Totally awesome place! The staff are always friendly but on my last trip back they wanted to know where I was from and I told them Colorado(I was out to KC to see friends) and they were a bit perplexed why I was out here since they said folks tend to want to move my direction. I can't entirely blame them with the humidity there but once again these awesome gardening supplies makes it worth sweating out in the garden! read more

Everything here is over priced , they have cute / funny items but it's not worth it in my opinion. You could get anything from here cheaper on Amazon or from Walmart which, is where I believe everything had to be purchased from because a lot of the prices were quite outrageous . The employees weren't very helpful and weren't the nicest either . They have a little bit of everything here flowers (fresh and some to replant), pots, decor, books, clothes , and more. I do understand it's a smaller business so they have to make their money as well but I couldn't ever justify spending money (and so much) anywhere that disrespects their customers. Place was cute but I don't think I'll ever go back there again . Also someone followed my sister around the store and out of store. we saw keychains earlier in the store and considered buying them but they were over priced like I said at 15$ and put them back and didn't think twice about it . And at the end of our experience we were leaving and a man followed us out accusing us of stealing those same exact keychains that we had put back at the beginning of our experience. The fact is neither of us have ever been accused of stealing and we're totally confused when he even stopped us. The fact is this place has a problem with doing stuff like this from reading the other reviews and I find it highly ridiculous. read more

This place was pretty disappointing. I went specifically for herbs, but everything they had was either dead or dying. I decided to get some indoor house plants instead and found weeds in them when I got home. The store is also extremely cluttered, which makes it hard to reach anything. They do, however, have a bunch of fun decorative merchandise, which is why I gave them two stars instead of one. read more

An eclectic gem in the river market. It's a great store to find unique gifts and beautiful floral arrangements.

I have frequented this place many times over the years. I live a few blocks away, so it is super convenient. The flowers are not all at the peak of freshness, but I imagine turnover here may be a little slower. They really shine in the vase/planter category. There is a GREAT selection of modern and colorful planters and some great oversized containers for city homes that have balconies or small patio's. I was inspired to write this review on my most recent visit for last Father's Day. I walked in in a hurry looking for some flowers to put on a tombstone. The dude behind the counter, who I have not seen before, gave me the Dutch stink eye and continued playing with his newspaper. That's fine, I am good at helping myself. Located the flowers and stood at the counter while he finished reading his article. I asked if he could put a couple water vials on the flowers. He looked at me like I just asked the most outrageous question ever. He started mumbling and throwing over piles of trash laying behind the counter. Btw, he did this in slow motion and when he turned around I got the full view of Dutch bed head. In my mind, I can't help but picture him tending his own "special" garden at home. The customer behind me said "seriously, how hard is that?' Realizing he wasn't going to ever find a small flower vial I asked for a wet paper towel and a plastic bag. The customer behind me points to the paper towels and his eyes glaze over. He finally finds what looks to be an old water vial and starts trying to jam three flowers through a hole half that circumference. Now I know why he is not busy on Father's Day. I grab the flowers, hoping to stop the hole jabbing madness, and show him how to cut the hole bigger on the vial so that they will all fit. Jesus! He bangs away on the register and I throw him a $10, who cares about my change. I clog it outta there before my head blows off. What a sucky way to start an already difficult day. read more

I love this place! Really unique items and designs, new flower options all the time and the staff is amazing. Mary made this up right on the spot just before closing and was really nice about everything!! The flowers are so fragrant and the fresh mint was a really great touch. read more

worst place in city market!!!! went here with my family and as soon as we walked in we were given dirty looks and not once greeted by anyone. we proceeded to look around the store but did not buy anything. as we were leaving the man at the front counter followed my sister out and asked her where the keychain we were looking at was. she told him we put it back and told him how every time we came here we were given dirty looks and even sprayed with water once. she told him she felt racially profiled every time she went into the store and he said "miss me with that bullshit" completely unprofessional and disgusting. if i could give zero stars i would. this happened on 2/26 @ 2:30 read more

I dig this place! I've bought a few plants from here over the years, and just a couple of days ago bought myself a white oleander tree and a pretty kick ass pot for it. The place is cluttered, but i like that about it. it fits in perfectly with the environment. They have all sorts of fun plants you wouldn't expect to find. I might have to go back for a volcano flower! Not that i see a wedding in my immediate future, but their wedding stuff looks quite nice. The staff is helpful, and cut me a deal when i expressed that i wasn't sure if i wanted to spend the money at the time for the plant and planter. I'm glad to have them in my neighborhood. read more

Dutch Flowers - "I can't even" bell from Dutch Flowers - Florists Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We live in Tulsa but decided to spend a weekend in KC for our anniversary. I have never missed getting my wife flowers for our anniversary however between our local florist closing and driving to KC on our actual anniversary, I thought this might be the first year she didn't get any. However I emailed Dutch flowers about my situation and told her where we were staying and between the flower shop and the hotel, my wife had a BEAUTIFUL floral arrangement waiting in the room when we checked in. She cried (always a good sign of a good/gorgeous arrangement) and absolutely loved them. They are now sitting on our dresser at home and have since bloomed even more and I have to agree with my wife, they are getting prettier every day. Thank you so much for making this weekend special! read more

Being a big supporter of small local business, I chose this shop when I needed to order via phone for delivery in KC. I have been inside the shop several times and it's been ok for walk-ins. I was less than satisfied with this order/experience - I thought the arrangement was just meh, but my daughter did like them so that was the important part. The kicker was that I asked for an inexpensive birthday arrangement (around $35) and yet my charge was for $58. I completely expect a delivery fee (it was 2 miles) although that was not divulged on the phone call, nor did I receive an email or text receipt, nor did I receive the delivery confirmation text. I would just suggest to be a little more forthcoming with the hefty delivery fee up front so customers are not surprised, and follow through with a receipt and delivery confirmation as promised. read more

A close friend, who knows how much I love receiving flowers, purchased me a surprise arrangement from the shop to have delivered to my work a few blocks away from this location. I was absolutely thrilled to receive them, but a little surprised at how bruised and bent most of the blooms were--really, out of a 15-stem arrangement, maybe six flowers were presentable. It looks like it was snagged out of the back of a cooler, and had been sitting there for a while. I'm so appreciative of the gesture from my friend, but I wish these flowers were in better condition so I could enjoy them for more than just one or two days, especially because I'm sure he paid a pretty penny for them. read more
