I was almost scared to check out Moe's shop after reading the reviews here. I decided to wear my big girl pants and go anyway cause I really wanted to grab some blue roses. Instead, I found the most awesome guy who really knows his flowers. I am wondering if he is misunderstood because of the way he talks? He was definitely powerful with his words but shouldn't be confused with rudeness. He was extremely friendly and helpful and got me out of there in a few minutes with the prettiest blue roses. Don't veer away cause of some of the reviews you see here. Moe is a really easy guy to work with and he will keep your budget in mind. read more

Love Moe's. The only flower shop I feel strongly about. Please support :( it's hard during this covid time in a college campus without most of the student population... Called in today hoping to request a bouquet for a friend whose aunt passed and was hoping to pick it up if I stopped by after work at 6 (despite the shop being listed to close at 6). He said that actually he's been closing at 5 due to covid - but then kindly said he would stay open until after 6 because it would take some time for me to get here after work... and he would wait. TT. As always, he knows what he's doing, and after asking a bit more about the situation, suggested certain flowers and colors and explained why they would best suit the situation. Originally I was asking for a $20 bouquet, but he said the flowers that would be good should be a $30. But if I can spare $5 he can do it for $25. If you look at the photo, this bouquet is worth way more than $25... When I came to pick up, he was arranging and we got to chat a bit. He's super nice and things have been hard but he's trying. He just loves what he does. ***I will say - LET Moe do Moe's thing. Don't come in being picky asking for this and that. Give him an amount to work with, explain what it's for, and he goes above and beyond. And cash is nice. read more

Great Flowers, Bad Tempered Owner I've purchased flowers from Moe's before, so I know the quality and prices are phenomenal, but today I came in to ask if there were special hours for Graduation week, particularly for this Sunday. He was cleaning up and in a terrible mood. He gave me a muddled answer, so I asked him to repeat. He looked me directly in the eye and repeated in a mafia boss tone, "I'll be here at 2AM." I had a surprised look on my face and he then proceeded to say, "I won't be here for you. I'll be here because there is work to be done." Confused, I asked him what that meant. He replied in a very aggravated tone, "Look, I know you're stressed over graduation, but I said 2AM. What don't you understand? The shop isn't usually open at that time, but if you come by at 2AM, I might sell you flowers." My question and response were genuine, and it was very insulting that he talked down to me. I know he was probably tired and stressed from the long day, but regardless, that is no way to talk to a customer. read more

Back when Moe had that lady help her in the shop, he was a lot less stressed out but ever since it was just him and the mexican guy helping him... I dont know things have just been not going well for Moe. Sure, its stressful during mothers day and graduation season but there should be no reason to talk shit about your customers to other customers (its just not professional) and let alone yell at your customers about how busy you are and that you dont have time to be wrapping single flowers for them. Honestly I know he has lost some business from the people in my circle because during graduations this year, we made the effort to go to the flower shop up the street to avoid Moe's inevitably bad mood. This one time I was getting a single flower for my Buddha offering and normally he tells me to just pick what I want but I guess he was in one of his "moods" and he yelled at me to not touch his flowers. -___-'' When he finally had time to give me his attention, he pulled out a flower for me but it wasnt up to my standards so he told me to pick it out myself -_____-'' x2. I realized, flowers dont vary much between the flower shops around Berkeley, so make the effort to go down the street for better service. read more

Moe's flowers is amazing! My family bought my graduation bouquet and leis from there and the quality was great. He came there even before the shop's original opening hours just so I can have my leis for my morning graduation ceremony. The prices are very reasonable and the leis are much cheaper and better quality (double leis) than the ones you can buy near the graduation areas. 5/5 would go here and buy my friends' graduation leis from here. It made my graduation day much more memorable and I definitely stood out from the crowd because of the flowers! read more

Moe's Flowers - Florists Near Me - Berkeley, California

Very conflicted about this place. They have beautiful and very reasonably priced flowers compared to other flower shops in the area, but as you can probably tell from the other views, the owner Moe can be very difficult to work with, depending on the day and his mood. I personally haven't had an intensely negative experience unlike many others, so I don't think I can give the business than 4 stars--But the owner is eccentric for sure. There have been times when he's very brash on the phone, and then when I go in person to pick up my flowers, he's the friendliest person in the world. I'd recommend for the flowers - But be aware that you might have a negative experience. read more

I don't know how this place has any stars to be honest. If Yelp allowed us to give negative stars I would. My family and I drove from Stockton to walk around the shops and eat at the eateries on Telegraph. We parked at the garage that is right next to Moes Flowers. My husband needed to use the restroom due to the long drive so my son, his girlfriend and I decided to go in the store while we waited. We saw some eucalyptus by the door and I was interested in purchasing some. I'm also a plant mom so I was very interested to see if there was any plants that I could purchase that I don't have yet. As soon as we walked in the door this guy Moe told us to leave. Very rudely just told us "to leave". It took me by surprise because I've never experienced such a hostile tone especially having just walked into his establishment. I asked him if he was closed and he didn't even look at us just kept his head down looking at whatever he was doing and said Yes. So I turned around and along with my son and his girlfriend started to walk out the door.. I then said very loudly so Moe could hear " well his door is wide open and his sign doesn't say closed". We proceeded then to walk next door to a bookstore where two very nice and welcoming ladies greeted us. We looked at books until my husband showed up. We then left the bookstore to head to Telegraph avenue and as we were turning to corner to where Moes flower shop is, we saw a white man in the store and Moe was helping him purchase flowers. Why did I mention the man is white you ask?? Well I hope you're picking up what I'm putting down. I started to go back in to ask him why did he tell us the store was closed when it clearly wasn't? But I was there to enjoy the day with my family and I wasn't going to let his negative and demon like attitude ruin my day. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE! This is the worse experience I've ever run across at a place of business. This guy Moe is a real a**hole. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I wasn't even able to walk inside before the owner began yelling at me. I am a plant mom. My plants are my babies and each one has a personality. Whenever I travel to a new city I like to take one plant home with me. I stopped at the shop hoping to buy something and I found a little succulent I liked. I picked it up to inspect it to make sure it was healthy and Moe began yelling at me to put it down if I'm not gonna buy it. His reaction was absurd. I told him "Well I was GOING to buy it." If this is the kind of energy the owner has I would hate to buy any plants from him. Plants carry energy and I don't want anything to do with someone who carried that energy with them. read more

Really beautiful flowers! Don't rush him and he will give you his best work. We have been buying from him every single month on our monthly anniversary and it's the best around the whole Berkeley area read more

Moe's Flowers - Flowers - Florists Near Me - Berkeley, California

IF YOU ARE DISABLED DO NOT COME HERE. Moe screamed at my group for LOOKING at the plants and was yelling "this isn't a public garden!!" We tried explaining that we needed to look first but he has no customer service skills whatsoever and got hostile towards us. Totally wanted to buy something but he accused us otherwise. He won't let you in the actual store either and was screaming the whole time we left. Go to another nursery where the owners are kind. read more

I want to start off by saying I have never created a Yelp account or left a review on any place before this one but my experience was so jarring I felt the need to leave a review. I am a young Mexican man, and I had gone to this shop with my Asian girlfriend. I had gone to a flower shop before this one, requesting seeds as now that school is over I'm looking for new hobbies, one being that I want to start a small garden. The previous shop had told us he had no seeds but suggested we could repot and plant one of his existing flower plants. However, when we arrived to this shop, the man (who I am assuming is the owner) was very rude to us. He first asked my girlfriend twice if she had any questions but his tone was almost pushy, and she told him we were just looking and started to walk out due to her past experiences with men talking down to her. Of course, asking for any questions is normal routine but I trust her when she says she felt uncomfortable and had some sort of bad feeling about him because she normally sees the best in people and her intuition is strong. However, before I caught on that she was leaving due to her gut feelings, I asked if they had sold seeds for gardening. The old man responded "Seeds? Seeds for what?" in a very weird tone that made me feel like my question was dumb. I'm not too sure if it's common for flower shops to sell seeds but I thought he would be willing to offer some other solutions like the previous flower shop we went to but instead, he shooed us away after my question with a "have a nice day" with a sour face. It was so strange for me to get shut down and shooed out so quickly, as I was willing to look around for bouquets and look at the arrangements they had even if they didn't have exactly what I was looking for. Now, as I'm reading these reviews, I want to say there is so much validity in the reviews where they believe these bad experiences are micro aggressions and just profiling in general. We had barely walked in and we' were treated like we were of less intelligence simply because of the way we appeared to this man. It's easy to say "maybe it's just a coincidence" or "maybe he was having a bad day" but as a POC in such a progressive area, I feel like there is no excuse to make two POC both feel as if the anger and malice was directed through a lens of racism. This place is located on a corner of Telegraph right next to UC Berkeley, where there is such a diversity in population. If this man has no shame in being blatantly rude to POC then he does not deserve our business, or the business of any privileged customers who recognize places like these send us back in our endeavors to be treated equally. read more

I wish I could give Moe (and of course his flowers) 100 stars. The short story: Moe was an earth angel who saved my wedding day flowers in the 11th hour and gave us the most stunning bouquets and centerpieces I have ever seen in my life at a more than reasonable price. The long story: We had a wedding florist that was a preferred vendor who we hired about 8 months before our wedding. She was non responsive and MIA until she called only a month before our wedding to quote us double what we said our budget was. At the same time she was not even able to tell me exactly what we would be getting. We fired her because of how unprofessional she was and were 4 weeks from our wedding needing a florist. Moe was recommended by a friend and his professionalism, communication , and flowers absolutely went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. I had more communication with him in the first 48 hours of reaching out to him than I did in 8 months with the other florist. He held my hand every step of the way, answering questions, providing suggestions and guidance when requested, and he makes you (or at least made me) completely trust him. We knew he would take care of us and pour everything he could into our flowers. When I saw my flowers the day of, they were more gorgeous than I could have every imagined. He took my vision and perfected it. He created the biggest and most beautiful centerpieces I have ever seen (and I heard that from multiple people!) If we lived closer, I would constantly fill my home with Moe's flowers and I highly recommend him to anyone for any occasion. read more

Moe's Flowers - Close up of my perfect bridal bouquet - Florists Near Me - Berkeley, California

Moe's is great! Really fantastic selection of flowers, and seems to be always open -- not like the other flower stands that may or may not be there when you need them. I asked what I could get for a paltry $5, and he gave me a bouquet that was actually $6. Even at $6, the bouquet would have been a great deal (see photo: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/j_h-IlLhRPPpZeUjfrjxMg?select=FJy6BVYJt0hErGnKaEv4uA) Come graduation time, I know I'm going to be paying many many visits to this place read more

Moe's Flowers - All for $5! - Florists Near Me - Berkeley, California

I needed flowers. I was already running 30 minutes late for a friend's graduation ceremony. The flower shop right across campus was closed. I was desperate, sweaty, and annoyed. And then I saw Moe's, a shop that I usually overlook, until now. Being the uber-articulate, flower-savvy girl that I am, I walked into the shop, not exactly knowing what I wanted, or how I was going to explain it. Me: "I want something happy, something bright. It's for a graduation - I need a happy bouquet." Yes, such eloquent speech, quite exemplary of a Berkeley student. Moe: "Okay, pick what you like, and I'll arrange it for you." Me: ".... I ... I don't know what I like." =X Moe: "What's your budget, then? Tell me how much you want to spend, and I'll make something nice." Me: "Let's go with $15..." Moe: "Sure." And then I saw it. A hugely gigantic screaming pink monster Godzilla of a lily the size of my head. "ME WANT LILY!!" (I told you I am eloquent.) The next thing I knew, Moe was dancing swiftly around the room, plucking flowers of different colors and textures, carefully arranging the them around the humongous Godzillily so that each new addition complemented its vivid pink color. And all the while, I kept squealing like a delighted little 5-year-old girl at a princess-themed birthday party: "Oh! Pretty!" "Wow~!" "Augh, so pwetty!!!!" The result? For $15, I got an absolutely BEAUTIFUL (and huge!) bouquet of gorgeous, gorgeous flowers, so wonderfully fragrant it made me want to dunk my head in there and take a bath. For the flower-inept like me, just go in, tell Moe your budget, and watch him work his magic. You'll walk out with a stunning bouquet of beautiful custom-arranged flowers that will turn heads everywhere. read more

Moe's Flowers - You can get this for $15. That's magic. - Florists Near Me - Berkeley, California

What is wrong with Moe?? I walked in with a friend looking to purchase an arrangement. I noticed that he did not have any displayed so I asked for a quote on 1 dozen long stem bouquet. This madman went on ramble about how "my flowers are not like grocery store flowers. Those are cheap, my flowers are not cheap". I'm sorry but I never said I was looking for cheap flowers I said I wanted to know the quote. Moe did not know if I have willing to pay over $100 for 12 roses, instead he racially profiled me and arrived to his decision. I was in shock and had just finished taking exams so I did not have the energy to react. He then went on to say "If you are looking for cheap flowers, go to the grocery store. If you're a college student I can give you a discount but know my flowers are not cheap". Yelp forces me to to give 1 star but I would rather give 0. read more

I went to his store on Monday to help my boss order three bouquets in vases. I told him what the budget range was and he gave me ideas on what types of bouquets he could create for the different amounts in the budget range. He spent a lot of time with me explaining what would be best and what would be the most beautiful. He was really professional and kind. I decided to pick up the flowers on Wednesday because that was when he said new flowers were coming in. Before I left, he told me to pick a flower for myself, and that I can choose any flower. I didn't really want to because I felt bad for not paying, but he insisted that I pick one. So I picked a purple rose and he added a white rose to it and a bunch of really tiny purple flowers. He is so sweet! On Wednesday, I went to the store to pick it up. And he made the bouquets infront of me. The bouquets were beautiful, and he made them really big. I did not expect the bouquets to be so big and beautiful for the budget I had given him. He just kept on adding more and more flowers to each bouquet. After he was done, he realized it would be difficult for me to carry all three without anything. So he found me a box and helped me put everything in it, lifted it up for me, and handed it to me. Moe is just amazing. He is really considerate and sweet. And he DOES NOT rip you off, he tries his best to give you as much as he can for whatever budget you give him. read more

Moe's Flowers - Flowers that Moe gave me, because he is sweet like that. - Florists Near Me - Berkeley, California

I'm updating my review of Moe because, as my now-husband's (as well as my own) florist of choice, it was only natural that we ask Moe to be our wedding florist. He says he limits his weddings to those of his regular customers, but believe me - he will do you no wrong. At our initial meeting, I told him what kind of flowers I wanted and what they would be used for (bouquets, aisle, bouts, decor, etc). He chimed in with his own suggestions, but reinforced that it was my choice and that he'd do whatever I wanted. I made no compromise on my bouquet (I really wanted those red dahlias), but gave him more freedom with the aisle and arch flowers. The final quote he gave us was RIDICULOUS! He charged a fourth of what I had budgeted for (which was already on the low end for wedding flowers). I felt like I was robbing him, so I gave him a hefty tip. What can I say, I love Moe and want him to stay in business. The only downside is that he provides JUST the flowers - meaning, someone has to pick them up and do all the set up. So, fast-forward to our wedding day. Simply breath-taking. He went above and beyond what we had expected and everything turned out beautifully. The flowers stayed fresh throughout the ceremony and reception! Moe is THE MAN. He totally hooks up his loyal customers. I posted pictures of the flowers from our wedding so you can drool over his handiwork. read more

Moe is probably one of the worst people I've dealt with, and i'm not quite sure why this place has 4 stars. He speaks down upon his customers. Doesn't even attend to them correctly. I picked out flowers and he stopped while helping me to attend to other people. AT LEAST FINISH HELPING THE CUSTOMER ON HAND FIRST. Yea sure his flowers are nice, but the way he treats his customers should run him out of business. The one takeaway from when I was there was when he was speaking to another customer and said " Yea all these students are trash and they have no money" WELL THEN DON'T OPEN A STORE NEAR A COLLEGE BECAUSE YOUR PRIMARY CUSTOMER BASE WILL BE STUDENTS. But he's probably too broke running a flower shop to be able to even live in a better neighborhood. tldr don't come here. There is a flower stand on telegraph near the bancroft clothing store where your service will be much more appreciated and where you will be able to deal with a decent human being who is selling you flowers. read more

I came to Moe's to buy 10 individual roses. When I first walked in, Moe greeted me himself and asked if I needed help with anything. After telling him I needed 10 roses, he asked if I needed them wrapped individually or loose. I responded with the latter, and Moe proceeded to pick out 10 roses from the bin. I could tell he was picking out the 10 best roses for me because he would pull some out, examine them and put them back if they weren't up to par. We talked while he was wrapping and preparing the roses, and he gave me some important life tips which I always appreciate! He also asked me how long the flowers would be standing before I gave them to my friends and gave me advice on how to keep them looking fresh for longer. He also made me a "water pouch" so that I wouldn't have to keep the roses in a cup or vase before giving them away (his water pouch made it super easy to carry the roses!). Moe is extremely attentive and very willing to work with you. The roses were $2.50 each but since my organization goes to Moe's twice every semester, he gave me a $0.50 discount on each rose! With graduation coming up, I will most likely be returning to Moe's!!! read more

Despite some of the reviews, I'm not trying to be bias, but I think a lot of people don't understand some old people. Especially ones from different countries with accents. I called and ordered some Ti Leafs and Leis for my cousins graduation. Moe answered the phone and I had preconceived thoughts about how rude he might be. He sounded pretty rude, but when I went to the store he was super nice! He took the time to explain the flowers and how to care for them. Also gave me a discount because I bought in bundle. Will be purchasing again :) read more

It's a no frills shop in the parking garage building's first floor, facing Durant street. I have to say this is one of the best shops in the East Bay in terms of value and knowledgeable service. Moe is a great guy, very friendly and I have to say while the 3 or 4 customers were waiting for him to do arrangements and take care of them, he was making jokes, flattering us, and smiling even though he was pressed with a lot of walk- ins 15 minutes before closing time - and his prices are unbeatable. I'll upolad a photo of my $30 bouquet...and last arrangement when I followed his advice to change the water every day lasted over two weeks. So these stems are fresh,,,, Worth checking out. read more

Moe's Flowers - Nice bunch... - Florists Near Me - Berkeley, California

Moe's Flowers is probably my favorite flower shop. I live in Reno and came all of the way to Berkeley to get them from him. My mom wanted to buy me a graduation leis for my high school graduation. I told her about Moe's and I couldn't have been any happier. His blue orchid lei was so beautiful and was only $25 compared to $35-$45 from other places. What I especially love was the fact that he helped my mom package the leis so it could survive 36 hours before the graduation and the long four hour car ride to Reno. The entire leis stayed in place and not even a petal fell. It looked beautiful, vibrant, and fresh! Moe made my graduation even better :) P.S. I came in one day and asked him about his blue roses and he gave me three for free!! read more

Moe is a Berkeley treasure. His flowers are the very highest quality, at great prices. He also has superb judgement and artistry in putting together a bouquet, and is a very nice person, thoughtful and friendly. My standards are high and my budget is tight, so I can't imagine buying flowers from anyone else. After a half century buying flowers from Moe, I tried hard to find an acceptable florist in Sacramento, and was very disappointed. read more

If I could leave 0, I would! I do not recommend this place. The owner is extremely disrespectful. My friends and I walked in looking to buy some flowers and the owner was on the phone. As soon as my boyfriend starts looking for some flower, the owner said we couldn't go in just to look and we needed to leave because the place was about to close but it didn't close for another 3 hours. As we were walking out, he furiously came after us yelling and insulting us. This is completely unacceptable. This is not an acceptable way to treat customers or people. Do not go to this place unless you want to be treated poorly. read more

This place has terrible service ! The owner saw my group of 5 walk in and didn't say a single thing. I was looking to get some flowers for my gf and as I was looking he told me to get out bc I wasn't going to buy. He said they he was closing but they didn't for 3 more hours. As we were leaving I touched one of his plants and he ran out calling me a "bastard". Really don't recommend. read more

Moe definitely is a lifesaver! After calling several flower shops around campus to order a graduation lei for my sister, I finally found a place that was reasonably priced and close to campus. Since I ordered ahead of time, I was able to get a beautiful orchid lei for $27. Calling around the area, other quotes were $30+, $40+, $50+ for the same thing. Crazy! I actually used to order ahead of time at Nob Hill Grocery Store for $20 but I haven't seen that advertised in awhile. When I arrived on graduation day, I got to choose the lei I wanted from the selection he had and was ready to go. Oh yeah, Moe increased the price on graduation day so it pays to order ahead of time over the phone. Cheap flowers and great service. Will definitely remember this place the next time there's a graduation at Cal. read more

Made a quick visit to buy a succulent plant. It's those cute little cacti plants on the shelfs! I've always walked past them on the way to class and finally today I bought one! A succulent plants cost $5.50; the mini cute pots were $3.50. If you sweet-talk him and bargain a bit, he'll lower the price a little. :) Sweet owner, very friendly. read more

Absolutely horrendous service. Never been treated this way by anyone. Moe told me to never come back. I came in to pick a bouquet for my girlfriend. Just wanted to check it out, and was planning on coming back in an hour. He quoted me bouquet prices, and then when I told him I was going to come back in an hour and buy, he got pissed. I followed up by asking how much roses were, and he said, "For you, they're $10 each". I excused myself and told him I was going to leave. He yelled at me, saying, "You can go anywhere, just never come back." read more

i would give this place 0 stars if i could. wow! so my family was in town visiting and we walk in to look inside (keep in mind the door was OPEN and we were unaware no one was in there) and when we walked in to look around the owner of this place yells at us asking what we want (in such a rude way). before we can answer he yells at us to "walk away". keep in mind we're 4 BROWN women on our own just trying to buy some flowers and this store owner is an angry white man. we walk away not wanting to start problems when this man GETS IN MY AUNTS FACE and yells at her for NO REASON. he is yelling obscenities at us for absolutely no reason. we walked in wanting to give this man business and he blatantly disrespected us and harassed us. i suggest you get your plants from a kinder hearted and more understanding person. (also, every plant i've gotten from here before this encounter has died when ive followed the advice he gave me to care for it so he's obviously not only disrespectful but unreliable). such a sad and disheartening experience. i wonder if we would have been treated the same way if we had been 4 white college students looking around instead. read more

I first came to Moe's 2 years ago, I fell in love with these rare blue roses and orchids that he carries. Ever since I make a stop at Moe's every single trip that we go, and we come from San Jose. These are the best flower's I have seen, a wide variety of selection as well, I have yet to find a florist here in San Jose or in a city near San Jose that carries Blue roses that are grown Blue not spray painted. The same for the Blue orchids. Recently I drove with my boyfriend to pick up a lei for my graduation, it was so beautiful, it was fresh and it was made with Blue orchids! I was the only one with a Blue orchid lei. The prices are great! I have found him to be pleasant every single visit. One day I will turn to Moe for my wedding flower arrangements. Until then, I will keep driving from San Jose to Berkley for my Blue Roses! read more

The flowers in this shop are actually really nice: the major issue with this shop is the rude owner Moe. Me and my girlfriend were just walking around Berkeley when we came upon moes flower shop and we decided to take a look and when we decided to go inside, we were then greeted (or shall I say antagonized by) Moe the shop owner, who proceeded to yell at us and telling us that we were bothering him by preceding into his store and basically telling us to get out his store very rudely, and as me and my girlfriend, who were horrified by his rudeness, were leaving, he kept continuing to yell at us and telling us to get out, even tho I told him to have a good day. We then found out that the owner is very aggressive towards the college students (me and my girlfriend were not students of the nearby college) and also very racist. I strongly recommend to avoid this location at all cost unless you like to be antagonized and/or yelled at. (Also, don't believe the 5 star reviews, if you are a poc or a young adult, you will be treated terribly by Moe) read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE! I had to file a police report against the owner of the shop for harassment. I went into the shop to inquire about the orchids on display out front. The owner, Moe, was helping two other customers so when he asked me if I needed anything, to be polite and let him finish with the other customers, I said "It's ok, I'm just smelling for now." At this point he started SCREAMING at me and kicked me out of the store. I was shocked. I stepped outside and realized how ridiculous the whole situation was so I stepped back and told him it wasn't appropriate to speak to me, a potential customer, that way at which point he said he "didn't need my business little girl" and he didn't want "trash like me in his store." (I am a 26 year old, well dressed, straight-A student at Cal. I was wearing Kate Spade shorts, a Tory Burch blouse, Jack Rogers sandals, an Apple Watch and a $200 backpack - clearly not a homeless or vagrant.) I called him an asshole and left. Here is where it gets bad. At this point he FOLLOWED ME to where I volunteer around the corner and continued to scream at me and the elderly women I work with. He threatened the older women and continued yelling until he was kicked out, at which point he called security on me. However, when security came, she told me that everyone in the building avoids him and that the previous week she had seen him yelling at a 5-year-old child for touching a flower. And a review on Glassdoor shows he's not a kind employer either. When I reported the incident to the building, the manager told me that they have so many issues with him and suggested I file a police report since he followed me and continued to harass me even after I left the store. Even the officer I spoke to apparently heard stories about Moe. Long story short, the man who owns this place has some serious mental issues and people should avoid his shop like the plague! read more

The owner is so incredibly rude. I came in while the door was open and well before the store closed and he very rudely told me that they are closed. At first, I thought he was joking and laughed + replied that I was just looking around, to which he said that his store "isn't a gallery" and that I "can't just look around." I have never had an experience so alarmingly unprofessional and I am shocked that this place is still in business considering how many people seem to have had similar experiences. There are much better places in Berkeley to shop for plants and I would not recommend this store at all. read more

Horrible service! I was with a few friends and one of them was going to get his gf a rose and he asked for the price and the owner told him they are closed and told us to get out. They were not closed for another couple of hours. Simply because my friend was picking a rose for his gf, the owner got mad and followed us out and called my friend a bastard and was just yelling rude insults.

I really wish I could put 0 stars. as my friends and I were exploring Berkeley, we were rudely approached by the owner of Moes flowers. we just wanted to look at the plants. He was homophobic. My friend simply asked for the price of a plant and he yelled at him, telling him he could not afford it and people like him needed to stay on the other side of the building. we were respectful and genuinely interested in the plants. he took his anger from other customers out on innocent college students who just were offering him buisiness. he then proceeded to not let us talk or leave until he was done talking. seriously, ridiculous behavior from a man who is in need of buisiness. read more

Moe delivered some beautiful pink roses for my birthday, and I could see why he's well-liked. He just seems like a nice, silly guy. The arrangement is gorgeous...high-quality roses arranged perfectly with baby's breath. My mom was looking for a local Berkeley florist on Yelp, saw the great reviews, and called him up. She really enjoyed his fun demeanor on the phone and was excited that I would get to meet him. Beautiful flowers and an interesting florist/delivery man...bonus. read more

0 stars for be business owner who says, "YES, I don't care about these people here, they have no money, they are trash!" I was appalled by his response, & left saying I don't want to do business here. If I could give 0 stars I would. I usually don't take the time to give reviews..however the individual running this business was over the top horrendous!!!! It began when I attempted to walk in the store, when he seemingly innocently, asked me if there was anything specific I was looking for. I politely said no, just looking (as I was unsure what type of flower I would end up getting my friend for her birthday). He then said people are not allowed to just look, if there is something u want, I go in with you, I get it. I replied, ok.. you're welcome to supervise me. He then explained its so tight inside & people brush up & ruin the flowers. I asked if most of his business is by phone order? He replied as seen in the first sentence above. read more

EDIT: I have been back on numerous occasions and Moe's always hooks it up, always with a discount. I had a set of orchids next to my bed and had a mishap of knocking it over in the night. Moe, without hesitation, gave me one for free!!! for free! to replace it. AWESOME? Honestly, Moe's has some of the freshest or possibly thee freshest flowers and is always decently priced and offers great deals for students. Even willing to give you advice on what he would choose! I went around to about 3 different flower shops on Valentines morning and there flowers were twice as expensive and a bit shady looking. Luckily I went early, because when I passed later in the day there was a line extending out the door! I've bought flowers from Moe before in the past and have engaged in conversations with the man. He is always after the #1 interest .... the customer. Moe is a very personable man and cares first and foremost about customer satisfaction and loyalty before profit. The freshness in his flowers compared to surrounding shops is a testament to his business. He is willing to sacrifice profit margins in hopes that you receive the freshest and most beautiful looking flowers there is to offer. It is obvious that he shops for flowers elsewhere than those of surrounding shops and stands. read more
