I need floral arrangements three to five times per year: for Valentine's Day; my wife's birthday;…read moreour anniversary; and occasionally, Thanksgiving or Christmas. For the longest time, I relied on Florabella to provide me with creative arrangements made from what were often unusual and difficult-to-find flowers. The business was well-organized and kept its schedule reliably, attractive traits to a nerd such as myself, and it sold its creations at a reasonable price. I could drop off a vase at the shop, conveniently located in Bay Ho, and, a few days later, either pick up my flowers or have them delivered to my house. However, by fall of 2019, owners Sarah Newstead and Jennifer Bull were gone, and the shop had moved from San Diego to Coronado Island, a virtual world away from the one I inhabit. Prices had risen, phone calls were no longer promptly returned, and the whole enterprise began to feel desperate and amateurish, like Mom had left the kids in charge, and maybe they were in a little over their heads. So I've stopped using Florabella, because, in the immortal words of Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins, "Ain't nobody got time for that." I grant that some of my hesitation may stem from an age-related aversion to change, and that your experience with the "new" Florabella may differ from mine, but, nevertheless, buyer beware and all that...

Fiest time checking this flower kiosk and left not very impressed. Was going to buy myself a…read morebouquet and all I could see was a not very nice combination for $50 so I passed. I was expecting tos see lots of bouquets already made and ready to buy. Instead it was all about build your own thing with various flowers in buckets. The kiosk itself could have a more attractive design considering that is posh Coronado and in my opinion looks very plain.

I ordered what i considered very expensive flower arrangement online. The total was almost $200. It…read moreincluded a rush delivery fee of $10 extra to be delivered before 1pm same day. When i found out at 3pm the flowers were not delievered i called to ask why. The calendar on their website at end of month is a rolling calendar vs month youre in so I made a mistake and ordered for March vs February. Fair enough, so since the flowers werent delivered that day before 1, I asked for a refund of the $10 rush fee. The manager, got sassy and was extremely rude with me and told me no. They were sticking with original order. I told her either refund me the $10 rush fee or refund me the entire order of $200 (ish). She said she would rather lose the order than refund me the rush fee. I got my refund and cancelled the entire order. Whomever this mgr is who took my call....she needs a lesson in customer appreciation and not to be sassy when people are calling. 0 stars if possible! in response to the post...i did not ask for a refund of the purchase AND free flowers. I wanted the flowers...why would i want a refund and to deliever the flowers. no one works for free! I wanted a $10 refund but the gal who called me wouldnt listen, was snappy, and short.

Kriselle put me at ease after our first call, explaining her process and allowing me to explain what I had envisioned, along with the inspo board that was put together by our planner. She was super great to work with, especially when it came to figuring out the best ways to achieve what I wanted within the budget I was looking to spend. Between the bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony arrangements, everything turned out absolutely STUNNING! I wish I could have kept them all forever! Thank you, Kriselle!

I used to work in the neighborhood and would always look forward to browsing this store on my lunch break. They have an indoor boutique section as well as a small outdoor section, both filled with a thriving diverse collection plants. The sweet staff always checks in and the handful of times I've purchased a plant, I am always sent home with thorough care instructions, which is so nice to know that they actually know and actually care. Lots of plant nurseries in San Diego, but I feel the service and knowledge here are some of the best. They even help you pot your plants for free, even if the pot or the plant are from somewhere else, as long as one of them are bought here, they'll do it. Decent prices, impressive collection of adorable and unique decor and pots. I haven't tried any of their flower arrangement services but have only heard positive things.

So I ordered from them a second time and was pretty disappointed. I ordered the Peach Fuzz floral for my aunts birthday and it had no ranunculus and was filled with mostly fillers. Don't get me wrong, it was still a pretty bouquet and I know it won't always look like the ones online, but for the price that it was, it could have had more roses or something if they ran out of the ranunculus and less of the filler. Also didn't get a proof of delivery this time, so im not sure if they forgot or if they knew it didn't look like what I paid for. I emailed the company to complain and haven't heard anything from them since. So just something to think about
