I ordered a tall pink and white arrangement on a Friday for our new baby girl in DC on Friday. Called the shop directly and talked with a pleasant gal, who happily took my order for $115.00 :0. Plus delivery fee. She informed me that the delivery could not be made until Tuesday, because of weekend and holiday.. I said ok but wanted to make sure the flowers were fresh and not sitting at their shop over this 3 day period. She assured me that they would be fresh. Flower arrived Tuesday, They looked nice but on Wednesday they began to fade. We trimmed them off and some recovered and most didn't. I called them and explained that it had only been three days and she said so sorry...I will have my customer person call you. Waited for a couple days and no call....Only an email, telling me they guarantee for 3 days and since it was past three days there was no guarantee. Picture clearly taken on night of day 3. She also mentioned that the vase was half full of water so they sucked up water, but again clearly all stems were 3-4 inches below water line....I didn't like the implication that it was our fault that the flowers had died and wilted but they would send a small desk set of flowers.. "sorry for the inconvenience" Instead of taking the high road, it felt like nothing but defense on their part and gee take this instead. Well for $115.00. I thought that was rude response and said nope. Probably going to fade quickly again. I explained that I would be writing a review and the attitude was go ahead..don't care. Now my guess is, they are going to try defend the attitude of their customer service person and say "she didn't want the consolation prize and to bad." which is the attitude I got from the email. I have a company and if I want repeat business and I see that something obviously looked wrong. I would try make that right by following through with a phone call instead of a email, after being promised a phone call. I looked at the reviews online before choosing Lee's.. Looked good, but this is my review. The flowers from Harris Teeter last over a week.. Hmmmmmm read more

Lee's Flower and Card Shop went above and beyond for our boating organizations. We ordered two arrangement for a member who belong to two organizations for his funeral. Not only did they generously provide us with discounts, but the flowers were absolutely beautiful. The flowers were delivered right on time, and they were placed exactly where they needed to be. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our organizations feel even more special. I highly recommend Lee's Flower and Card Shop to everyone looking for outstanding service and stunning floral arrangements. Janett P. G. read more

I have been a patron of Lee's for almost 20 years and relied on them to ensure quality flowers and quality deliveries. They lost my business today. I called today to check on the status of flowers for my mother. Given some prior issues, I wanted to be sure that nothing happened and the order would be delivered. You'd have thought I asked them to cross the Red Sea. As I expected, the order had missing items and I called back. Instead of listening to me, the person was too busy talking over me. I asked to speak to a manager and instead of connecting me they tried to blow me off by suggesting that I write an email. In the recent few years, there have just been too many issues. Time to find a new florist. read more

This review is for the Union Station outpost. Not only was the small all tulip bouquet quite pricey the service was poor and wrapping is $5 extra. I had to request a flower food as that is not included . Without wrapping of course the wet flower stems broke through the bag. So much for presentation. I guess it's the thought that counts? read more

Lee's fulfilled my urn center piece order with ease and it was fresh and lasted for days! I used two separate florists for my event due to pricing. Lee's won hands down! The website was very easy and what I saw, is exactly what I got!! No substitution policy BS! I will use them for all future events going forward! WARNING: IF A REVIEWS SAYS, DONT USE A MERCHANT, TAKE MY ADVICE, DONT! I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED WHEN I READ IT ABOUT THE OTHER FLORIST! read more

I've been using Lee's Florist since 1991. There's nothing else to be said. Legendary florist with customer service to match!

I needed flowers quickly due to an unexpected passing, and Lee's Flower Shop came to the rescue! I went to the shop an hour before closing, and they originally said they would not be able to put a bouquet together with such short notice right before closing. However, one of the employees came out from the back and said she could get it done in about 25 minutes. I went to grab a bite, came back in 25 minutes, and the flowers were ready and looked amazing! Thank you Lee's Flower Shop! I'll be sure to recommend this business to friends and family! read more

I will preface this by saying I hate flowers. I go to Lee's for the houseplants and that's it. I've walked past the shop a few times and opted not to stop in because of the name but saw a cute birds of paradise in the window and decided to poke my head in. It's primarily a flower shop but they do offer a Good selection of houseplants for those new plant moms out there. The reason I LOVED this place was the "happy hour" they have on Fridays! Every Friday (I forget the hours) houseplants are 20% off and flowers are 50% off! If you know how expensive houseplants are...you'll appreciate the discounts. I also love that the shop is black owned (I don't think there are other black owned nurseries in the city) and it's been in it's location for quite some time. I love supporting local family owned businesses and the staff at Lee's treated me like family the moment I walked in. I'll definitely stop back in during one of the happy hours to continue to fuel my plant obsession. read more

Extremely disappointed with this flower shop and the reviews associated. I'm based in Los Angeles & was using yelp to find a trusted, high-quality florist in the D.C. area. I came across Lee's Flower shop & based upon reviews, selected them. That being said, I'm now writing my own review for future customers so they can be aware. I've attached two images of the flowers that I thought I was getting versus the flowers that were delivered as a gift. The recipient sent me the picture as a "thank you" and I was taken aback at the lack of flowers that were delivered versus what I was told I was receiving. I decided to call & explain the situation on the phone. The gal on the phone tried to be as helpful as she could but management was pushing back. They offered to make it "right," but asked to pick up the old arrangement. I wasn't asking for a full, brand new arrangement, but I asked for compensation for the lack of flowers that were received (e.g. another smaller arrangement with different flowers to make up for it). They wouldn't compensate without picking up the old arrangement, which put me in a terrible position with the recipient (who was receiving for a birthday) to have to ask her to leave the flowers out so they could pick them up & then bring another arrangement later. So beyond unacceptable; I have never heard of this in my life. Bottom line, we didn't do this, as it is inconvenient and tacky for me to even ask the recipient to partake. The reason they were delivered in the first place was because of work schedules, etc. I wouldn't order from here as you will not be receiving what you think you're getting, AND worse, they won't compensate. DC locals -- be aware. read more

First off, let me start by saying Jeff was very helpful, kind and personable. I'm new to the area. I've never been in to Lee's but I wanted to support the business being Black owned. Marquita greeted us. I mentioned I own an event and floral design business and was entering a portfolio building contest and needed some stems and asked her if it would be okay that I take some action shots of myself to gather content for my page. She said "sure." I began to look around the shop and found what I needed. Bought 2 vases, a book and a bunch of flowers. As my husband (professional photographer), was taking photos of me. Out pops a head from the back room of who...I guess was the owner. She never properly spoke or introduced herself. She abruptly asked "y'all out here taking pictures of flowers!?" No not solely of the flowers, just action shots of myself picking up and holding the flowers I'm buying. Is it that deep? Instead how about you introduce yourself and get to know your clients. After all, you are in a customer service oriented field. I then over hear this same lady in the back area yelling to her employees "if they're taking pictures they need to tag us in them!" What makes you think we wouldn't? We made a huge effort to ask before any shots were taken, if there was problem or a policy in place that limits then you should communicate that with your employees ahead of time and not in front of guests. There were about 4 other workers, they all walked past us at one point. No one else spoke or even made eye contact. I stopped and stared just to see if anyone would say anything. Nothing!!!! Retail 101: When you're within a certain number of feet from guests, the proper thing to do is to greet them! It's really not that hard. I'm actually taken a back, my feelings are a little hurt bc I expected so much more. You would think a flower shop would be light and welcoming, not this one. Instead we were left to feel like gum on the bottom of a dirty shoe. Very disappointed. Jeff suggested another floral spot for wholesale. Good bc I won't be returning. Just missed out on an opportunity. I could've used this as one of my go-to's. But nevermind. As black women we have to do better, the snarky comments and eye rolls from a distance were uncalled for & inappropriate to anyone coming in to your establishment, especially paying customers. read more

Came in for a wedding bouquet somewhat last minute- and they made something beautiful! I had the color request from a friend on what they wanted, but was pretty clueless else wise. One of the employees was super helpful in helping me put something together. I really like that they sold flowers by the stem, made it easy to pick and customize. Ended up having a beautiful white roses, baby's breath and eucalyptus bouquet for about $30. The whole thing only took about 20 minutes. Great prices and friendly staff, a go to for flowers in the DC area for sure. read more

I recently visited Lee's and had a wonderful experience. When I walked it the stores ambiance isn't like a botanical garden but more of a warm issue of home and garden. The young lady that helped was very warm and even picked out the bouquet I ended buying. I need flowers for a grave site and she picked the most calming and beautiful selection of flowers for the needed objective. The store not only sells flowers but had a great array of other home goods, candles etc. Highly recommend and will return. read more

Great little shop right on U. The ladies are super friendly, they love dogs (and give them treats!), and they have a happy hour every Friday from 3-7, with 20% off live plants and 50% off flowers. Selection is decent. Only issue was being charged $5 for repotting, when they just trimmed the plastic and dropped it into my pot, adding some stuff on top - could've easily done that at home read more

I would like to start off by saying that it's very easy to rate a business when everything goes right, but that it is important to mention how a business handles itself when things go wrong. I went to Lee's Flower Shop to purchase flowers for my father's funeral and they were very efficient and helpful with the flower selection process as well as curating a casket spray that I felt would truly honor my father. The flowers were promptly delivered in time for me to view them during the first viewing that occurred the day before the service and unfortunately the flowers included in the spray were the wrong color. We were able to call and let the shop know about this error and the next morning, someone from the shop came out to the funeral home to swap out the sprays as well as beautifully arrange the special order flowers that were arranged in the wrong color spray prior to the early morning service. The flowers that were included in the corrected spray were absolutely stunning, way better and fuller that the flowers included in the incorrect spray and I could not be happier with the overall result. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds is soooo important and they far exceeded expectation. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone that needs a florist. read more

I know it seems cliché but I have been really into house plants the past few years. I lived in a dark basement for a couple of years and since then I have been attempting to surround myself with greenery. Lee's has been on my radar for awhile but not nearly as long as it's been around. It opened in 1945 and has not only stood the many tests of time but has adapted with the times. House plants, including succulents aren't isolated to a corner in the store but rather, they are all through there! If you want to go big are start small, Lee's is the place to pursue that. They also carry a selection of micro-batch soaps and stationery so that makes this place perfect for a gift to yourself or someone else. I am in the market for a bookcase so whenever I take care of that I will make my way to Lee's for another plant I'm sure. read more

Thank you for helping me support my friend and send her condolences when I'm so far away! My friend lives in DC and I am in Los Angeles,CA. I wanted to send her something to express my condolences for a death in her family. The flowers ordered from Lee's were not only as beautiful and full as advertised in the online photo but they also delivered the next day! I ordered very late at night and flowers delivered by next afternoon! The online process was easy - and I received the Email Confirmation From purchase and through every step from ordering to delivery. The recipient raved about how beautiful the arrangement was! Lee's is now my only floral spot needed in DC - they are fast and reliable and arrangements are unique and beautiful. I feel they are fair priced for their work and follow through.

I called to place an sympathy order today unknowingly way after delivery cutoff. Lee's was so very accommodating! The young Queen answering the phone and taking the order was very knowledgeable, sympathetic, polite and extremely helpful. Hearing her youth and telephone etiquette made me feel so hopeful of our future and proud because we are really ALL of God's children! The roses were so pretty and fragrant. The color was so rich and the quality was well worth the cost. The roses truly warmed the hearts of the recipient who lost her husband to Covid on 1/5/21 and their children. I worked in the hospitality industry more than 30 years and always OCD about giving excellent customer service. I always expect the same service from any businesses I support. Thank you so much for the exemplary customer service I received. I am truly a satisfied customer. I cannot wait for the next experience. read more

I have ordered twice from Lee's and both times, the recipients of the flowers raved about the blooms. But that is not why I am writing. When I placed the latest order online, I made a mistake while typing the recipient's address. But I didn't catch my error until several hours after I called the shop to ask about the missing delivery. I then sent an email owning up and telling them I would place another order. Today, I was just about to do so when I received a text from my friend. The flowers arrived. They are gorgeous. Lee's went above and beyond to fix MY mistake. The shop's stellar reputation is well-deserved. Support this small and local business and you won't be disappointed. read more

I've use Lee's three times now: my corsage for prom, a bouquet for my mother's 45th birthday, and most recently a bouquet for Valentine's Day. This shop is a landmark to U St and a great flower shop, did I mentioned Black owned by DC Natives? An amazing way to support a local business during holidays and personal special occasions. I've never been disappointed here--I've always gotten beautiful flowers that last long within my budget. They are always well stocked, I got a beautiful bouquet made by Joi on the day before Valentine's Day. They have all of the flowers and colors you can think of. I know very little about flowers outside of my favorite lilies and peonies, so I typically let them know my budget and a color palette and the associates always come up with something beautiful. I will continue to shop at Lee's for all of my floral needs because their quality and service beats everyone else. read more

Per the recommendation of past flower power insider Kori K, I ordered a Valentine's flower arrangement for my girlfriend from here. I knew she liked orchids. I knew I wanted to incorporate roses.

My boyfriend went to Lee's website to order me some flowers for our anniversary. When I sent him a picture of what they looked like he was shocked at how different the bouquet was. He sent me the link and the style/look as well as the quality of what I received was much different. He had spent $80 on these flowers so I decided to call them about the flowers. I expected I was going to fight and argue with them but the lady who answered the phone was very nice about it and told me because of weather conditions with their flower farms they had to substitute the lilies and the greens. I've received the replacement flowers now and they are much nicer. They upgraded the vase to something more comparable to the website, there are more blooms and it just looks more beautiful. Thanks, Lee's, for having great customer service! read more
