Amazing service by Lydia. We showed up a day before to get our bridal flower bouquet and groom floral pin. Lydia advised us with a full size and light color bouquet that matched my knee length dress so well! Lydia's flowers have been around for decades; their friendly service, quality product, and professionalism says a lot about their impeccable reputation in the floral business! read more

A bit pricey, but beautiful flowers and succulents. Seems they are the ones helping maintain the flowers in the public space outside their store too, though I could be wrong on that. There's crafters and vendors selling at the farmer's market nearby when both places are open at the same time. Worth exploring this shop and the area if you love flowers and plants and are touring the area. read more

We're visiting SF to get married and our florist didn't pull through. Luckily, Lydia was right next door and she was super helpful. We told her what we wanted and she delivered. We ordered a wedding bouquet and boutonnière. She got the job done in less than 2 days. She's been in the business for decades and it shows! She knows her stuff. I would absolutely work with her for any other future event. Thanks Lydia! read more

My mom moved near the Embarcadero about 16 years ago and my family has been using Lydia's ever since. Small shop but incredible variety and their attention to detail is top notch. We've ordered flowers at least 40 times and have never been disappointed. read more

We stopped in for a last minute gift and got a lovely violet. They wrapped it beautifully with tissue paper and some small flowers. It was a great personal touch. read more

Had a bit of a wedding flower fiasco the day before my wedding. Went in to Lydia's to order a bridal bouquet and a boutonniere for the groom and was pretty nervous... wondering if the request could be fulfilled. I was told no problem! That we could pick-up at 9:00 a.m. the next morning. The pricing was also very good - right around what I expected. Also - my flowers were BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I received so many compliments about my flowers. I am SO glad the others I had planned on did not work out. read more

I just had flowers delivered to my wife's office at Pier 9 by Lydia's (see posted pictures) for Valentine's Day. I was not only embarrassed by the quality of the bouquet (in front of my wife's entire office), but also that I paid $92.00 for it. Based on how Lydia's treats local clients, and how willing they are rip off their customers, I would strongly advise going elsewhere. I will continue to try to find a good place to order flowers..if anyone has a good recommendation please let me know! read more

Flowers are nice, but the arrangement are quite boring. Perhaps less than ordinary flowers from the grocery store. However, I do like their small potted plants, as they have an interesting variety of them. And the prices for those are decent, and they will wrap in tissue paper and ribbon should you ask for it. read more

The flowers are very fresh, but the arrangements are B O R I N G. They tend to use a lot of gladiola and and mums, which is pretty old school. Any time we've purchased flowers from them we always laugh at the combos and style. We don't order from them any longer. Case closed. read more

My husband bought long stemmed light lavender roses from Lydia's on Valentine's Day. They have a chemical smell similar to burnt rubber with syrup poured over it. Due to the noxious odor they're pretty useless and can't be in any room that has people in it, and he refuses to drag them all the way back downtown to return them. Ultimately it is his fault for not actually smelling them before he left the store with them, but wow, what a massive disappointment and waste of money. read more

This place was a life-saver after what was probably the absolute worst experience possible with an online flower delivery service. They are open until 7pm and located conveniently on Drumm next to the Hyatt hotel. It's actually a pretty large space, though it doesn't seem like it from the front. They even have a giant fridge inside for the roses and other fresh flowers! The inside of the shop kind of reminds me of an old-school local pet store. Potted plants and bamboo line all the walls and it takes a second to figure out where the front counter is from the entrance. It's also a little humid which makes you feel like you're inside a zoo exhibit. It's definitely a step away from bustling FiDi outside. Not only are they the only flower shop open this late in the vicinity (trust me, I've checked) but the prices are pretty reasonable! It likely depends on the type of flower, but for the most part pricing was average or just slightly above it, if anything. Even if you end up paying a little more than normal for your flowers, I'd say it's worth it for the convenience and service. They wrapped my plant beautifully with tissue and a ribbon at no extra charge! Will definitely be keeping this place in mind if I ever need flowers in a hurry again! read more

Lydia is absolutely amazing! She was able to make 2 custom order leis for me with very little notice!! Simply amazing and I appreciate her help in doing so! The leis turn out beautiful. They were so nice and fresh! Will definitely return to Lydia for anything floral!! Thank you again Lydia!! read more

Beautiful flowers from Lydia's Flowers at Embarcadero 5 in San Francisco. Last night my daughter walked in with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Lydia's. Lydia herself made the pretty yellow and orange cheerful arrangement. My daughter brought them to me so I'd feel better! She's 10 years old. Lydia even gave her complementary orchids to on my dresser, she said, "these will make your mom feel better!" Thank You Lydia! 5 Stars for assortment of flowers, Customer Service, Family owned, Value, and Cheer! read more

Last month I went in to get two small pots of cactus and expected no more than a 10-second wordless transaction. The young woman behind the counter asked if I knew how to care for the plants. I replied no (embarrassed because catcus seems to be a no-brainer); she gave me very detailed instructions on how often to water the plants and how much sunlight they needed. I was very pleasantly surprised - very good customer service regardless of the fact that we were only doing $15 of business. I have little luck with plants at my cubicle, so I will most likely go back to get more in the near future :) read more

I work nearby and attended the Embarcadero Center Wellness Fair that was going on today...Lydia's Flowers had a little table set up with small potted plants that were marked 50%. The two girls working at the table both seemed knowledgable about their product and were very friendly. I decided on a cute pink and white orchid from them for $15 before tax (originally priced at $30). Since I did not have cash on me and needed to pay by credit card, the girl working at the table walked me over to their store. Another woman in the shop rang me up. She seemed to know a lot about plants. She told me how to care for my new orchid - apparently I need to be careful not to over water it, as many people make that mistake. Hopefully I can keep this thing alive for a while. It's pretty and adds a lot of personality and color to my cubicle. :-) read more

I guess I'm spoiled by the quality of Lydia's flowers. I'm so glad I came across this florist but after buying flowers from her on a regular basis, I can see how the quality of her flowers is superior to other florists in San Francisco and now I can't shop anywhere else. I have an obsession with flowers and would love to be able to buy a rose or a gardenia from random florists as I do my walking about town, but I can't anymore because I know they won't be as fragrant or as long-lasting and vibrant as Lydia's. For a year, every time I've bought flowers from this florist, they have been perfect. An entire year. That's not luck, that's quality. read more

Lydia and her team are amazing!!! I hired them to decorate my venue including the center-pieces, chair covers, the cake the bouquet, and the boutonniere. I sent her a few pictures of the color scheme I was looking for and Lydia pulled off everything with flying colors. The room was transformed into an elegant space with her magical touch. She has a ton of experience with weddings and she is able to offer suggestions that saved me $$ but at the same time achieve the desired effect. I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with her and would highly recommend Lydia if you are looking for a top notch florist. Thank you for everything Lydia!!! read more

I ordered a medium sized arrangement from Lydia's and they truly went above and beyond-- the arrangement was larger and more beautiful than the photo, which was a wonderful surprise. read more

Nice selection of potted plants as well as cut flowers. They have live birds inside! read more

Lovely arrangements for a good price. I often stop by on my way home to grab fresh flowers for my house - they are always fresh, beautiful, and last. read more

I was all geared up and reading to write a scathing review here and they had to go and fix the problems, rush out the door, deliver some flowers, and make my girl smile and happy on Valentine's Day. Long story short, Teleflora gouges their flower shops for so much money, and overloads them with so much business, that Lydia's has to turn away some of the business. Long story short, my order, got turned away and Teleflora didn't reschedule it, send it to a new shop, or make any attempt to let me know it had been canceled. I was obviously quite irritated and angry, but when I called Lydia's, ready to go to the mattresses, the gentlemen who helped me fixed all the problems and left me happy and a future customer (the jerk, taking away my righteous fury!). Long story short, at 4:45pm on Valentine's Day, he rushed me off the phone, pulled together a beautiful arrangement with all sorts of purple flowers, her favorite color, and ran over to her office and delivered her. This series of texts says everything that needs to be said.. 4:20pm S: Yea I'm sad everyone got their flowers and I -might- get them tomorrow, ahaha. 4:22pm S: I feel like this always happens and that's why surprises get ruined 4:53pm S: I'm gonna go home 4:55pm S: I just got them!! 4:55pm S: They are absolutely beautiful, I'm shocked and happy!! Thank you Lydia's! read more

I don't buy flowers for women. Serious. Not even my mom. Oh, it's not because I'm a jerk, at least not in the case of not getting my mom flowers. She has really bad allergies and always warned me not to bring her any flowers when I was a kid and it neared an occasion like Mother's Day when kids would be sent home with flowers and cards to give their moms. Other women don't get them because, well it just never occurs to me to get them as a gift. I guess you can say that I'm just not inspired to get flowers, whether is be to butter a girl up or to make up for some perceived wrong. I've don't fine without resorting to pulling out the flower card in my dealings with women. That being said, I have bought flowers at Lydia's and they were given to a girl. One of two that have actually lit the flower buying spark under my ass. Don't ask me to explain it because I can't. It was a very nice arrangement though and the person helping me pick out the flowers made the process very easy. The first thing she asked me was what my budget was. After hearing what I was willing to spend and asking if there was anything in particular that I wanted to include she set about putting together a very nice selection of flowers. I took notice of Lydia's a long time ago though. Working downtown and frequently lunching in the area it has been hard not to notice. Just walking by you can see many beautiful flowers inside and overflowing out the the door. They seem to come in every size, shape and color. I have bought orchids for myself and Lydias always has more than a few interesting specimens in their shop that I will ogle on occasion. I haven't bought any yet though because I know it will just die and then I'll harbor resentment for having spent more money on a flower/plant that refuses to cooperate with me. They also put together a bag of rocky/sandy soil to use for a Plumeria plant that I had bought a couple years ago. It was growing beautifully with budding flowers and everything before it was knocked over and trampled by a visitor to the place where I live. If I ever work up the nerve to buy another Plumeria plant and try to nurture it out here in the Bay Area I'll be sure to ask them if they can prepare some of that soil mix for me again. read more

My boyfriend ordered flowers for me online and used Lydia's as the vendor of choice. The arrangement that was delivered was not what he had chosen, the flowers were of inferior quality and some of them were nearly dead the next day (Friday). I telephone them the following Monday to complain and they sent over the bouquet he had originally ordered. Too bad they didn't do that to begin with. We have always used them as our florists, but they've seen the last of us. read more

I don't know what arrangements people are getting from Lydia's, but I am always usually really pleased with what they do. And I used to arrange flowers myself, so I am a tough critic. They deliver weekly arrangements to our office and they are always fresh and creative. Perhaps people are just picking out pre-made arrangements that are already made up in the store for the plebs? Lydia's is reasonably priced and I have yet to be disappointed! read more

Beautiful flowers, considerate arrangements, and super convenient location for those working in the area. Worth the price!

Solid shop with good plant selection. Lydia walked me through the different attributes of plants I was looking at and helped me find the right one for the size of my pot. Would recommend read more

quite simply, flowers make me happy. the bulgy pinch-their-cheek cuteness of a pink peony. the coy bow of a bright yellow tulip. the wild vivacious look of a cymbidium orchid. they smile at me. they grow and bloom for me. and the longer they can do that, the longer i am happy :) my arrangements last me 7-10 days -- and Lydia will tell me when i pick flowers that wont. Lydia always has plenty of exotics in stock, and will arrange something for you that is different and diverse. her store is well kept and her service always friendly and honest. her blooms are on the pricey end, which is why it is minus one star, but it is the price you pay for the convenience and quality. i'm always looking for that next special bloom that will make my living room smile... read more

I used Lydia's flowers for my wedding reception, bouquet and boutonnière. I highly recommend her. She was so nice and gracious and I enjoyed talking with her as well. She was on time, professional and a very sweet lady. She's conveniently located in the Embarcadero location where my reception was and delivered my centerpieces on time. Please use her for a personable experience. Thanks Lydia! read more

Not a spectacular selection of florals, but if you're headed to that birthday dinner after work and desperate because you're a horrible friend who forgot to buy a gift and totally in need of something to bring, Lydia's will do you justice. I left happy with the arrangement I chose and would go back again. read more

We often order from Lydia's. Their arrangements are always beautiful.

So nice. Very convenient. Affordable. The staff wrapped my order beautifully and my date loved it!

This flower shop has the most exquisite arrangments and also has a huge selection of tropical and asian inspired designs. I love sending there arrangements to new resturaunt openings for friends, or as a thank you gift. They are so helpful over the phone and can do last minute deliveries! read more

Lydia has got talent! Everything I've asked her to make is beautiful. Her professional opinion is great. This place is pricey but you get what you pay for! read more

I was running late for the welcome dinner for my inlaws. They were arriving from Asia. Thankfully Lydia's was still open and they came up with the perfect solution for my needs! My inlaws loved the flowers. It made our occasion even more special read more

The beauty and warmth of this flower shop pulls you in from the street. I received an enthusiastic welcome, my dog was invited inside, and he got some attention. :) Exquisite plants and arrangements are everywhere in this gorgeous little shop. (I bought a bamboo.) I was sent home with a gift wrapped package, and they called me (and my dog) by name as we left. What a great community flower shop. I will be back again and again. Serious 5 stars. read more
