Matteson's has been my go-to florist for years. They have always given me incredible service and delivered arrangements that consistently receive compliments for their beauty and creativity. They are the only florist I call and cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

I can't say enough great things about this florist shop! It's been in the family for generations and sits directly on a farm off the 101 in Leucadia! They also have candles and other goodies for purchase when you are buying your arrangements. My favorite way to order flowers here is to allow them to do their thing and make an arrangement with a budget. All you need to do is request a color or a specific flower you want to include and they are great at making your vision come to life! I will forever use this flower shop as long as I am based in North County! read more

The Leucadia Florist is in the Jesus is Lord compound and right down the street from my house. It is super convenient and they have florists that make great arrangements. Late in the afternoon on Good Friday I got a call to let me know that I had received flowers. I was filled with joy and skipped down to bring them in. I love getting flowers! Somehow during the delvery there was a problem and I contacted them to let them know. The owner, Leah came and replaced my arrangement. That is great service! She is obsessed with providing great flowers and I am sure that I will visit the store again soon. read more

Matteson's Florist - A springtime arrangement! - Florists Near Me - Encinitas, California

Got a beautiful delivery of 3 dozen roses Feb 13 around 630-7p What I appreciated was the fact that even though I wasn't home to receive the delivery, the delivery guy left me a phone message saying that he left a delivery on my front porch on the small table. Otherwise, I don't think I would have known about the delivery. The roses were beautiful and you could tell the quality was quite nice. Not sure how much the roses cost but I don't think they were cheap :( But honestly, the better the roses, the longer they last (have you ever noticed how quickly supermarket roses die??). Anyhow, these roses lasted a good week or so. They had a great life - every time I saw the flowers in my kitchen, I couldn't help but smile. read more

I received a voicemail letting me know that a floral delivery had been made at my front door. The gentleman who left the message sounded tickled fushia - I don't know if it was because of my profusion of gnomes or that he was happy to be the bearer of glad tidings. Who doesn't love receiving flowers? Well, he had good reason to sound pleased, because he was representing a quality product. They used some really specimen flowers in rare hues, and not a leaf of cheap filler. The occasion for the flowers was a sad one, but I'm glad to know of a good florist nearby. read more

Matteson's Florist - No stinting on the orchids! - Florists Near Me - Encinitas, California

At a Rehearsal Dinner for 80 people, Leah and her wonderful staff went above and beyond in making the evening spectacular. I felt they were respectful of our budget and our out of the ordinary needs. They placed a beautiful garland on an eye-sore hand rail that transformed it into a lovely walk way. Tables, bar, restrooms, outside spaces all looked just as we pictured! They were on time, completely low stress & made an extra effort to understand our vision. Creative with a great eye for color and perspective. I cannot rave enough. A wonderful experience! read more

Absolutely the best florist I have ever found in my life. I've always been a flower giving boyfriend and friend. From my late teens until now, it has always been tradition for me, since my father taught me well, to give flowers to the women I love and respect (friend or girlfriend). I've always had go-to florists in the several places I've lived, and because I have always traveled an immense amount for work, I need a florist I can trust to always send beautiful and high quality arrangements. Matteson's Florist has always been the best I've ever found. I have even ordered from a ship in the middle of the Atlantic, with almost no reception or clear signal, and they still understood my point, were able to charge me a fair price and got it out the door hours later. Best florist ever!! read more

Service: very good service here. They showed me the wide variety of flowers they have. All of them looked very fresh and colorful. They answered all of the questions I had. Parking: small little lot that is hard to back out of to get back to the main road. There are signs posted to guide you to this place. Product: large variety of flowers. They do everything that any other flower shop does. They accept credit or debit, but charge $.75 for anything less than $10. I bought a dozen beautiful long stem roses for $9.99. Atmosphere: flowers of all types everywhere!! read more

I received anniversary flowers from my husband. Let me say I love that my hubby did that! However, the arrangement was very disjointed...not arranged in any particular way so every side of the arrangement looked different! You can see the photos for yourself :) you will see that one side of the arrangement needs to be in a corner :) this arrangement could not be on a table! Very disappointed..:especially after what my hubby told me he paid!! read more

My husband sent me flowers for my birthday. Wasn't that so sweet. I received them mid morning and only of a few flowers looked fresh. Most look like they were on their last leg. Ok, the really sad part is that he paid $80, for my sad little vase of flowers. I am adding picture also. Don't waste your money!!! read more

The bouquet of long stemmed red roses with pine needle sprigs and foliage was beautiful when delivered on a Friday night, but by Monday they were drooping and the petals were turning black. The roses never opened up! I emailed Mattesons and they said they would call to discuss but I haven't heard anything. Really disappointed since my husband spent a good amount of money to surprise me, and it was a really special night for us. This photo was taken on Monday night, 3 days after delivery. ----------------------- 12/28/17: I'm updating my review to reflect the great customer service I received after the florist did call me to apologize for the flowers and replace them with a new bouquet. The new one is the exact same, and the roses are very much thriving and getting ready to open up and it's been 5 days! Thank you again for replacing them, and having them delivered. I'm enjoying them very much. read more

Ugh, maybe it's just because of their growing pains but this place doesn't work. After reading the strangely (wink wink) informative review posted before, I came here intending to quickly buy some flowers for my sister. I passed the Jesus sign, parked in their lot and walked in. "Hello?" I asked inside the empty storefront. After no answer I proceeded to the flower fridge. It looked a little empty, save for a fresh bucket of mixed roses, but I thought maybe there was something else inside. I opened the fridge, and could smell cut flowers. I could even see many rows, through a dense black net separating the fridge to another side. I exited the fridge and tried another greeting. An energetic employee appeared from behind the counter "Oh! I didn't know someone was in here. Can I help you? "I'd like to buy some flowers." "Oh ok, are you looking for roses, we--" "Roses would be fine, but I'm-- "We have rose specials if that's what you're looking for." "Sorry, roses would be fine, but I'm also looking for lilies, tuberoses, mums, or other flowers really based on quality. I wouldn't know until I saw them. Can I take a look at your selection?" "I'm sorry, I can't let you back there. We're remodeling. My boss wouldn't let me. I can bring out some roses for you though if you'd like" "I really don't need to see the roses right now. Can you tell me what else you have in stock, what's more fresh?" "I can bring out some flower types if you tell me what kind, the roses are-" "What else do you have, besides roses? Actually, is there any way I can see what you have back there? Or get an idea of what colors and what is fresh" ::PAUSE:: "I can bring some lilies out with the roses?" "You know what, this is going to take too long. If you won't let me see your selection I'm going to go somewhere else." "Ok." So I left the store, got in my car, and yelped a much better florist. read more

I have had the privilege of getting flowers from Matteson's a few times and they have always been absolutely gorgeous! This is the best florist in Encinitas in my opinion. The last ones I got were BY FAR the prettiest lilies I have ever seen and lasted almost 2 weeks and they smelled heavenly! They put a smile on my face every time I looked at them. Leah and the other floral designers are great about creating what you want too, that is a big plus! Love Matteson's! read more

Leah at Matteson's Florist did all the flowers for my wedding (bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, arrangements for the arch and aisles for the ceremony) and everything was absolutely beautiful!!! Right from the beginning she was great to work with. I had booked her as my vendor over a year before my wedding so at that point I didn't really have a specific idea of what I wanted to do with the flowers, but throughout the planning process I would send her pictures of things I liked and give her ideas of what look I was going for and she was so helpful and patient with me the whole time. Because of the great communication throughout, I trusted everything would turn out great and never once stressed about the flowers, and on the day of the wedding, everything turned out perfectly! I would highly recommend Matteson's Florist to anyone! read more

Matteson's is an amazing flower shop. I needed to get centerpieces for a party and I procrastinated in ordering them. I called Matteson's at the last minute and they were so accommodating. Leah was so receptive and she created the most beautiful centerpieces. She was also great about working within my budget. I will definitely continue to order flowers from them in the future! Thank you Matteson's! read more

I have been a customer of Matteson's from all the way back (and I mean WAY BACK) when I was in high school. Back then, flowers were a luxury purchase for me, but they were essential in my quest to woo the ladies. While my quest was a complete failure, time and time again, I was at least able to count on Matteson's to help me with affordable, beautiful flowers. Through college, I continued buying from Matteson's. There were many florists around UCSD, but wow--the prices! In comparison to Matteson's, every day was Valentine's Day at these other stores, and the product wasn't of any higher quality! On to present day, where Leah and her staff have provided excellent service that goes above and beyond for both my happiest of days (wedding) and my saddest (memorial service for my grandfather). Leah even helped me hunt down some trees that I was trying to get for our reception, and at the last minute was sourcing manzanita branches for me. All this, and still remaining affordable and of excellent quality. Customer for life, right here. I can't recommend them more highly! read more

The arrangement that was delivered looked nothing like what I ordered. We're not talking substitution of one flower or anything like that, we're talking a completely different arrangement. Arrangement was titled "Tropical Sunset" and included dark magenta and shades of orange...I received none of that. What was delivered was baby pink and red roses. You absolutely ruined my Valentine's Day. Livid right now. read more

I get off work at 5 and wanted to buy my girlfriend some flowers, but this business decides to close at a time that makes it impossible to do so. Very upset and bummed. read more

I absolutely loved working with Matteson's Florist. Together we worked on a wedding that had a lot of moving pieces. We supplied several sized mason jars as vases before hand and they delivered the florals pre-set in the jars at the wedding. There were several changes and additions that occurred the week of the wedding. Leah and her team were great in communication and making sure we were all on the same page! We went back and fourth with new orders, I felt completely confident in the product and service from the team. My on site contacts Laura and Anita were wonderful! We took a walk through the entire wedding at the end of their delivery, and made sure that everything matched our most current order, so there wasn't anything that was missing. I had their phone numbers, just in case, ahead of time which was perfect! Thank you Matteson Team for a flawless wedding and appreciate your pre-planning and professionalism!

I have used this florist twice now and both times needed REALLY special arrangements to brighten up the lives of family members who were going through difficult times. They came through with amazing beautiful, unique arrangements that really accomplished what I hoped for. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again when I need flowers. read more

Matteson's Florist was amazing and Leah's work totally exceeded my expectations. The flowers at my ceremony, in the cocktail area, and in the reception room were absolutely stunning. I told her we wanted Costa Rican/paradise floral colors and somewhat of an idea for centerpieces and she ran with it and made our wedding absolutely beautiful. I felt like my wedding was out of a magazine. Her flowers had perfect placement and the colors were vibrant. I loved my bouquet and the flowers and palm on the cake. Leah is very friendly and easy to work with. She has great ideas and I am so grateful we put our trust in her with our wedding flowers. I couldn't ask for a better experience and love how she transformed our wedding into a paradise! I highly recommend Matteson's Florist for your wedding! read more

One star is generous.... 50th birthday...Meet Matteson's delivery guy at the door with flowers late afternoon. I can see that the water is slightly yellow as he hands them to me. A little surprised but take them any way. Once inside my home I notice what I think is dirt on the tulle netting bow...turns out it's not dirt at all. It's dried dark GREY PAINT. Two long strips of paint on the bow WOW, really! shop must have painted. I try hard to focus on mom's intent...Happy Birthday and all...Next morning I wake up to very fast rotting flowers and vase water as yellow as what people do in the toilet. So one could safely assume that this florist DOESNT use preservative in thier bouquets. I finally reached mom to thank her for the "flowers". She asked if they were an arrangement well worth the $80 she had spent! I just about tossed my cookies!!! Not only was it not a bouquet worthy of such cost....it was pretty low budget and rotting FAST. The tall clear, very common vase, u know the one EVERYone gets likely to find at garage sales or the .99 cent store, cheap tulle netting "bow" and zero preservative and day or two old flowers likely pre-arranged before even getting to me. I changed the water out quickly and added a few drops of bleach. 2.5 days in HALF the bouqet is already in the trash. Even at a generous $20 delivery charge for less than 5 miles delievery, I'm certainly not looking at a $60 bouquet of flowers. I complained to Matteson by email and on phone with the store rep. NEVER DID GET TO SPEAK WITH THE HIDING MANGER...Store clerk said they'd get back to me. Nothing. I asked that they return some money to my retired mom...Yeah and that will happen (not). Just very annoyed and extremely disappointed...just find something other than flowers to give....my mom just put $80 on the counter and I swept it in the trash in 2.5 days!!! Rediculous...worst...flower experience ever. read more

I received flowers from family after the birth of our second child this week. I have to say, these are some of the most beautiful flowers I have ever received! Being new to this area, I haven't purchased flowers locally yet, but when i do, I will get them from here! Thank you! read more

Excellent customer service! I had a slight hiccup due to an address mix up but they resolved it and replaced the bouquet with no questions. My Godmother loved her beautiful bouquet! read more

Very friendly staff- Anita helped me on the phone. I live in LA, so I was searching for an authentic local florist (and not another link to a 1-800-flowers type florist with generic arrangements). I'm glad I found Matteson's. My friend loved the arrangement and I must agree- it was beautiful!! read more

Always dependable and every arrangement or delivery I have ordered has been nicer in appearance compared to website's photos.

We had the pleasure of having Leah at Matteson's Florist provide the flowers for our wedding. It is a complete understatement to say that they turned out beautifully. I was actually in awe when took at look at what she had done... it was STUNNING! I am so grateful for all the effort that was put into making everything perfect. I could not have asked for anything more than what was there. Do not hesitate to book Matteson's for any of your floral needs, thank you Leah you made my day!!!! read more

SO amazing! They took care of my flowers for my wedding and they were BEYOND perfect! Leah took all hundred pictures of flowers that I sent her and turned them into everything I had ever wanted! I will recommend Matteson's Florist to ANYONE and EVERYONE looking for some amazing flowers! read more

Stopped by Matteson's today at around 10 am because I saw their wonderful offering. I was stoked to get a ton of value and to find out there was no gimmick tagged along to the special. If you appreciate great value and exceptional service with no hidden agenda then give Matteson's a try. Thank you Matteson's, I know my lady will love her flowers. All the best! read more

Just got another arrangement! Loved it! Been getting flowers from here for several years now and I've never been disappointed. Beautiful work and great service! read more

first off i don't find myself in this part of town very often but my grandma now lives close by mattesons and i've passed them going to her house and thought since it was her birthday i'd stop in and grab and arrangement for her. i had read reviews on yelp before i'd driven up there and found a mix of loves and hates, as with many places on yelp, so i decided to experience it myself. I was very pleased with the service AND selection of flowers. they had some premade arrangements but the girl working said she'd be happy to make me an arrangement if i wanted so i took her up on it. my grandma is a fan of gerbra daisies and tuber rose so with that in mind, the girl made a fantastic arrangement that i knew my grams would love. the colors and the look were fantastic and the quality of the flowers we by far up to par. I worked in a flower shop years ago so i know what to look for in the quality and freshness of flowers. the price was reasonable and i was in and out quickly. my grandmother loved the arrangement and said flowers were still holding strong nearly 5 days later. i would recommend mattesons and go back myself. it's nice to give my money to a "homegrown" florist then the big box flower shops and grocery stores. I look forward to going back. i just wish i had taken a picture of the arrangement for their photo gallery read more

I will not go anywhere other than this florist! The staff is always welcoming and provide the best customer service around. The quality and value of their floral products is second to none. Don't look any further for a top notch florist! read more

Wonderful place with good prices. We got my daughter's wedding flowers here. They did an outstanding job and stayed in her budget. There didn't seem to be the "it's a wedding, charge more" attitude that we found a lot looking for wedding stuff. I highly recommend a Matteson's Florist read more

I recently visited Matteson's to get some flowers for a first date with someone special. When I arrived everyone there was pleasant and greeted me with a smile. Leah was able to arrange a beautiful bouquet for me using a wide array of flowers and colors. My date loved them and all of her co-workers commented on how lovely they are too. I will absolutely be going back there for all of my floral needs and highly recommend that you visit them as well. read more
