Unfortunately the gifted flowers I ordered were never delivered to recipient. No one buzzed her apt, or called the phone number provided for delivery and security cameras confirm a delivery was never made. I am still waiting for a response from florist. Wish this turned out better :-/ read more

Edit edit: "hijab or potato sack" quoted below says a lot on its own. And that's the last of any time I need to spend time on this business. Edit: I didn't know we could outright LIE about the interaction like the business owner has in the response. There was no line. My friend did not grab anyone Went with two different friends and both had same terrible experience. And I did not say a single bad word to the helper who was rude throughout. All I did was say "she wasn't being nice" when the owner said she was "NICE to have even taken my order". Rest is upto you guys, if you want to ruin your day and get terrible attitude, this is the place to go. Again, their insta has some beautiful arrangements, probably not for someone like us, even if we are willing to pay. Very bad experience. All I wanted was to help my friend get a nice customized bouquet for his wife. Shared inspiration pic. Asked for suggestions, was willing to pay whatever they suggested. Tried making small talk, complimented, tried to chit chat. They said something like the inspiration takes time to put together so come 3 hours later. 3 hours later when I went to pick it up, she literally put no thought in bouquet and put together something in 90 seconds in front of me. I had the audacity to complain to which things escalated quickly and she told me to "get out and never come back". Please go to a local wegmans if you're brown for more respect and choice of flowers. All you'll get here are cold stares and cold responses. Flower buying experience should not be this stressful. read more

Kendall Flower Shop - 75$ bouquet made in 90 seconds after 3 hours of wait. Paired with cold attitude makes one excellent experience - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Bad experience and never visit again. I ordered three bouquets for graduation and I called owner this morning to remind pick flowers up with time frame. However, she was not there when I visit and my orders were not prepared. Her coworker also had no thought my order and she asked me design of flowers again and she said she will make it within 15min. What a... I ordered 3 bouquets. I waited outside and the owner I called this morning and her coworker literally put flowers in short time while I was waiting. It literally looks like supermarket style flowers. Also she is very unkind. Buying flowers and visiting flower shop makes people be happy, but this shop does not. read more

I got this bouquet as a gift for my birthday from Kendall flower shop. When I received it, my jaw fell to the floor because I've truly never seen flowers so beautiful and so expertly arranged. Look at those colors! There is so much care and thought behind each flower chosen in this bouquet, and it is physically impossible to love it any more than I already do. It's simply perfection, and I thank all of the staff at Kendall for making a special day that much more special. The staff is so kind and went out of their way to wish me a happy birthday! I highly recommend this small woman-owned business to anyone looking for flowers for any occasion. I only wish I lived close by and could stop by regularly! I was also traveling shortly after, and the staff made sure that my bouquet would stay protected on the flight--- above and beyond service! This place is a gem in every sense of the word. The flowers also lasted for impressively long, and I even dried the bouquet so I can have this masterpiece preserved. Love love love Kendall!!!! read more

I was here this past weekend for Mother's day and I couldn't be happier! The flowers are absolutely stunning, and the girls were so helpful in helping me pick the best flowers for my mom. Will def be back! read more

Started ordering flowers from Kendal Flower Shop in 2020. I am located in Georgia, but have them delivered to my mother who lives in Cambridge! I placed a order for Mother's Day in 2021 and Just placed my 2022 order a few moments ago. Great communication, great service, and BEAUTIFUL flowers. My mom always appreciates them (response to me last year is in the photo below). read more

Flowers were beautiful but customer service wasn't great. Called me to rush me to pick up flowers that I ordered.

The flowers I received 10 days ago are still ALIVE. I'm shocked. The bouquet was absolutely stunning :)! *update The 2nd bouquet I received only lasted 5 days :/. But it was still gorgeous! read more

Bad experience with the service and atitude. The girl on duty today neglected me intentionally, no greetings, no chatting or farewells, she was very reluctant to answer my questions or provide suggestions. On the contrary, she talked a lot with other customers. By the way, I was the only female, and the only Asian among all the customers I saw in the shop. read more

Buyer beware.... we purchased flowers for our administrative assistant to thank her for running a meeting at local hotel for our company. We thought we would try a local business, however we are extremely disappointed. The flowers arrived alive but within hours the fresh flowers were dead, even with putting them into water as soon as they arrived. After contacting them about dead flowers, the response was not pleasant or customer friendly. Both the employee and store owners response was rude and blamed us for not taking care of the flowers properly. Our large company orders flowers for employees daily. It's unfortunately that this local will not be supported in the future by our business as well as not recommended for use by other departments. read more

I'm a 63 year old former lawyer from Washington and recently have been visiting Kendall Flower shop for weekly arrangements which I donate to friends at a local Marriott hotel in Kendall Sq. Both the owner, Beth G. and her #1 Assist Dani P. continue to create gorgeous,fresh arrangements which are seen by hundreds of guests during the week. I have also learned a bit about floral arrangement, something I had zero knowledge of. Most men don't like to admit that they know nothing about certain subjects, but they throw in tidbits every week to help me understand the how and why. Anyway, the whole crew of part timers are knowledgeable and the reaction I see from hotel guests says it all !! read more

Immediate buyer regret. The pre-made bouquet was overpriced and unimpressive. But, actually, the requested "gift wrap" was so poor in presentation (loosely wrapped cellophane with a poorly tied string.) I nearly threw it in a trash bin on my walk home to gift to my partner. Will never patron this place. Save your money y'all. read more

For the better part of a year and a half, I went to Kendall Flowers to pick out an assortment for my company's reception desk. The shoppe always had fresh flowers in stock, always had something interesting or unusual, and always gave me lots of great ideas, wanting to come back for more (for me!). The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We have a tight floral budget at work, and the staff always helped me find the most bang for my buck. And since we've started having the flowers delivered, nothing has changed. Only now they send inspiring unique assortments that make our reception desk pop! The woman who runs the shop is always an email away and gets back to my zillions of queries quickly. It's a pleasure doing business with Beth. And for the holidays, they also do wreaths and poinsettias. read more

I came by to pick up flowers for a friend who was sick and, I have to say, Kendall Flower Shop did the job. And by "the job" I mean they had flowers. And I could buy them. Pros: - Quick service once I came in with a bouquet and help putting it into a vase - Free mini-cards and a nice stem to hold the card in a vase Cons: - Not particularly friendly at first (I came in to look around and wasn't greeted by anyone) - Not a huge selection of 'to go' flowers. There were some nice arrangements that I imagine had been ordered in a vase. Overall, I'm thankful they were close by, convenient, and prompt in their service. read more

My cat knocked over one of my large plants and broke the terracotta pot it was in. I didn't have time to get to a hardware store to buy another, so I called Kendall Flower Shop and within a half hour they had helped me track down a new pot so my poor plant wouldn't die. They were so kind and helpful, and when I walked into the store it was full of healthy beautiful plants despite the cold weather outside. I highly recommend this florist! read more

Disappointing the two times I've gone. The one time I REALLY needed flowers quickly, they'd had a sign up that said "Back at 1pm," and it was 1:30. I waited until almost two before giving up. The two bouquets I've gotten here faded quickly and were halfheartedly put together while the women behind the desk gossiped. Poor presentation, of both the flowers and the store. I'm glad others have had good experiences here, though, as mine have not been. read more

I had my doubts about this place, but I've gotten flowers a few times and they've been a hit each time. I like the fact that I can go in, describe my girlfriend, name an amount that I am willing to spend and then they make the magic happen. They do a good job of making unique arrangements that are personal and beautiful. Their offerings are some what limited since they're such a small place, so if you are looking for something very specific... you might be out of luck. ALSO, this place has awesome greeting cards. If you're in Kendall and want to pick up a classy bouquet with a cute card, look no further. read more

I went in on Monday July 11...sales person completely ignored me even though I was in there for a few minutes and she saw me. I asked how much the single stems of spray roses were. She just looked at me with a stone face and said "$4.50" not even the slightest indication of a smile or anything. These were tiny single stems, I thought t he price was high for 3 tiny little mini roses but I wanted them for a tiny vase someone gave me at work. I brought them to the counter and said "Someone gave me a tiny little vase at work and these would be the perfect size!" with a smile...what did I get another stone face with "Do you want them wrapped?" Most importantly 1 of the roses was dead in 1 day, the other 3 roses flopped over and died by Wednesday morning. I work in Kendall but will not go back here for flowers for my tiny vase! read more

WONDERFUL place and people! Family owned and operated for years. Forget about big florists, support a local business and enjoy sending beautiful flowers. My sister and her husband loved their arrangement!! read more

Splashes of color and sweet music are both welcome in the stark environment of Kendall Square ( a favorite place of mine, to be sure), and the Kendall Flower Shop provides both. Of course they have flowers- dozens of kinds, both affordable and luxurious types. As soon as they open up, the flowers are placed in buckets on the brick sidewalk right outside the front door, adding a lovely touch of nature to this block, which features an entrance to the Red Line, a bank, a post office and not much else. They also play music. When you rush by on your way to work, you will hear some old standards, classic rock and songs that just about anyone can hum along to. Some days when I pass through Kendall Square, burdened with work issues, bad weather, a broken umbrella and ill fitting shoes, I hear some great tune by Richie Havens or Van Morrison and hey....all of my silly worries go away. Customer service is terrific. They are friendly and deliver when they say they will. I have gone in to order, purchased for myself and called to place orders, and in all situations I was met with efficient, friendly people. And here is the greatest thing. On the day of the MIT memorial service for Officer Sean Collier, April 24, 2013, they offered free white flowers in his honor. Sweet. read more

A couple of weeks ago, I ran to Kendall Flower Shop for the first time due to a flower emergency--the event I had planned started in 30 minutes and the space we had been moved to wasn't too pretty. Within 15 minutes, I had six gorgeous centerpieces packed well enough for me to carry back on my own. The flowers totally transformed the space and many guests commented on how lovely it all looked. I did not expect such fast, flexible, friendly service! Total lifesaver! read more

This flower shop is awesome! The owner of the shop went to the flower market and texted me photos of options for floral additions to wedding invitations that I was working on. She went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, and at a great price. Thanks you so much ! read more

Absolutely beautiful flowers delivered to my mom in stoneham ma. my mom was thrilled and calls me every day to rave about the arrangement. Couldn't be more pleased, thank you for making our day! K. Sweetland 1-14-2021 read more

My wife works not too far from Kendall Flower Shop. I call regularly with ridiculous requests. Kendall Flower delivers. The flowers are generally very fresh (they last for sometime after delivery), and the flowers arrive when they say that they will arrive. Originally I ranked this four stars. Occasionally there is help that is off the mark. But the owner is always happy to help. They've been very good to me. I am changing my rating to five stars. read more

Quite possibly the most depressing flower shop I have ever visited coupled with the worst customer service. If you want horrible service and half dead flowers Kendall Flower Shop is your place. I can't wait to go back. read more

06.11.2014 Update: The 3 peonies I was given on Tuesday were dead on Wednesday. Oh well.... I bought peonies (long-lasting flowers) on Friday afternoon, and they were dead on Monday. They hadn't opened, they were just all dried up and dead. I called the shop on Monday morning and the very lovely sales clerk said (as any reputable floral sales clerk would and should say) "we will, or course, make it right". Brought the dead flowers back, but the owner wasn't there. The lovely (I think I already said it, but it's true!) sales clerk had to call the owner on the phone. When I spoke to the owner she wasn't apologetic but accusatory that it was MY fault the flowers didn't last. She didn't want to replace them. She finally replaced with a much smaller order. Note to self: the flowers by the t last longer, aren't as expensive, and you certainly don't have to put up with any attitude! read more

Failed to deliver Valentine's arrangement on Valentines day. Simply inexcusable. When I called at 6:45pm on the 14th to inquire as to what the problem was, I was told that my flower arrangement had just gone out for delivery... to an office building... at 6:45pm. Their excuse: "Sorry! How about tomorrow?" In what world is that acceptable?! I had previously used this florist several times without incident, but I can no longer trust them to deliver flowers on time. read more

I had an amazing experience with Kendall Flower Shop! I ordered several bouquets for a graduation event very last-minute and couldn't have had a better experience. I proved to be a rather difficult customer and had to alter the order the night before pick-up and Kendall Flower Shop has no problem accommodating the changes. Beth, the shop owner, worked with us after hours to ensure our order was filled correctly and on-time. When we received the bouquets, they were full, beautiful, fresh, and vibrant -- perfect for the occasion. Very impressed with their dedication to customer service and quality of product. read more

I have have known the Kendall Flower Shop for almost 20 years now. I find Beth (the owner) and her team to be helpful, handy and I have never been disappointed! My office is now directly across the street, and I find it extremely convenient to have a quality flower shop so close! I have read other posts that comment that the shop is small, but I always seem to find what I need. read more

I have bought flowers here on multiple occasions. And have been reasonably happy. I like there anemones.

I had a great experience here yesterday. I needed 3 bouquets and some single roses. The florist made 3 beautiful unique bouquets and everything smelled fresh and beautiful! I would definitely return next time I need flowers again. read more

Good flower shop with decent selection and friendly helpful staff.

I have had both good and not-so-good experiences with this flower shop, but they are very close to where I work, so sometimes I don't have a choice. It is true that they are more expensive than some other shops. From time to time when I go in the selection is small, and other times I see amazing sprigs. I guess it just depends on what they have ordered for custom arrangements. For the most part, they are pleasant and accommodating. When I have more time to spare, I take the T up to central square florist right at the Central T stop. read more

Recently, I had a very positive experience with the Kendall Flower Shop. Beth understood exactly what I was looking for and delivered beyond my expectation. I am a fan of both Beth and the Kendall Flower Shop. read more

I called up for a day of delivery. Not only was the conversation very pleasant, but within three minutes I had ordered an arrangement to go to a local hotel. The delivery fee was very reasonable ($10.) I wasn't sure what was going to appear because all I specified was the occasion, the price, and that I wanted it to be colorful. What showed up was absolutely stunning. Not only was it beautiful but there were unique specimens that thrilled the recipient, a flower enthusiast. read more

Excellent service. Went in with a very small budget for a funeral and Sarah was so nice! Even though the shop usually isn't open on Saturdays she came in just so I could pick up my order then. When she saw I was alone and had parked a ways off she helped me carry the arrangements to my car. The arrangements were fresh and beautiful! Thanks Sarah! read more

Wonderful service. I walked in and was a little surprised not to see arrangements. However, the person working there greeted me and asked if I needed help. I gave her a starting point and she quickly put together one of the most beautiful arrangements I've seen, with many nice little touches. I would go out of my way to go back. read more

KFS is great! I walked in, close to closing, and they had had a ridiculously busy day--providing flowers earlier that day for a huge event--they had been working for more than 24 hours(!!!). The staff was still totally charming and fun, and put together a gorgeous bouquet for my friend for her birthday for a totally reasonable price. It's been days and my friend had texted me twice since I left her, saying that the flowers are still so beautiful and fragrant. This was like a win-win-win scenario! Highly recommend. read more

They helped us out with a great last minute arrangement! Great quality and service.
