Came in this morning and got a beautiful arrangement for a family members passing. We didn't catch the man's name, but he was very helpful, attentive, and provided great recommendations for what to include in the arrangement. The highlight of the visit was how amazing and floral it smells when you walk in. read more

My best friend came here and got me an orchid for my birthday. I picked out the Golden Yellow moth orchid which had the prettiest clean golden yellow color I had ever seen on an orchid. The leaves were light green and very healthy. Most orchids here are 45 dollars. There were many orchids but most were just nicer versions of what you can find at cheaper places like Whole Foods. There were some exotic ones that looked like giant three feet tall yellow orchid trees with sprays of tiny yellow orchids. Since the moth orchid is easy to care for, I opted for the moth. Note that the orchids priced at 45 dollars don't come with pots. The orchid is displayed in a pretty pot but the plant doesn't come with it so be prepared to dish out more cash if you want a pot too. Since I have many pots at home, we just purchased the orchid. The purchase came with a tip option which is strange since it's not a service or restaurant. The florist did tuck it nicely into a box and some tissue paper. He gave us plenty of good instructions like make sure the orchid is bone dry before watering again (every 2-3 weeks). He advised a small amount of fertilizer with each watering and no fertilizer during the winter months. After a five dollar tip for his orchid tips and taxes, my unpotted orchid in a thin plastic container came to 55 dollars. I would say that this is a great place to get orchids for a seasoned orchid lover but you can definitely buy very nice ones for about one third of the price at the local supermarkets like TJ's or Whole Foods. They also carry really exotic ones you can't find at supermarkets though I don't know how hard it would be to keep them healthy. In any case, I'm already thinking about going back to check out the tree like orchid and to talk to the florist about how hard it would be to own one. Cute place for lovely orchids but a bit pricey. read more

Felipe is an orchid master. And a gentleman. When the orchid that our children had purchased for my wife began showing signs of deterioration, which turned out to be under watering, he showed us what was wrong and the technique to remedy it. And all of my orchids look better now. That orchid is now healthy and strong. And then when an orchid that she purchased for me for my birthday died within a month, still not sure why, he gave us another one. If you want orchids that last and that are properly healthy when you get them please go to Orchid Florist and support them. read more

Felip was WONDERFUL to work with as I came to him about two weeks before my Zoom-Covid wedding in June 2020 asking for a peach and green rustic bohemian bouquet, a centerpiece, and a chuppah. He and his team went to the Temple the day before to set up as well as coming early to set up the chuppah. His team stayed during the ceremony and helped when wind tried to knock down the chuppah--above and beyond. The flowers were truly show stopping--he captured my vision of succulents and peach roses and ranunculus and added in orchids and so many others. We got so many compliments on the flowers from over 400 guests watching on Zoom, and he sent over a complimentary bouquet after the wedding to apologize for the chuppah--which was the wind, not his, fault! Highly highly recommend! Thank you Orchid Florist and Felip for making my small wedding so truly wonderful! read more

Thank you all so much for the care you took to make the lovely arrangement for Jerry's memorial service. The arrangement was very beautiful; the white and yellow flowers looked terrific together. It's not the first time, sadly, we've turned to you to make arrangements when we've lost friends. You all go to a lot of trouble to make sure these special moments are appropriately acknowledged. read more

We've been shopping for flowers from Orchid Florist for years now, too many to count and we have *never* been disappointed. Whether we have flowers delivered or picked them up, it's always top-shelf. Felip is awesome, attentive to his customers' needs and simply put, he is an artist with floral arrangements. The prices are reasonable, the selection of flowers are amazing (his shop is tiny but PACKED with flowers!) and I cannot say enough about Orchid. Do yourself a favor the next time you need flowers and shop here. You'll be happy you did. read more

I called from New York and Philipe took care of everything. I gave him a description and he assured me that he would create a beautiful and colourful arrangement for a mid range price. My friend who was recovering from surgery loved the arrangement and sent me a picture. It was absolutely beautiful. Philipe is a master at his trade. A true artist! Robert Haber, New York.

Wow! Felip exceeded my expectations with his artistic floral arrangements! We talked on the phone and emailed inspiration photos and he flew with that and added his own flair! The delivery of the bouquets and centerpieces were on time and it was one of my favorite parts of the whole day! Floral arrangements add such magic! I highly recommend Orchid Florist. read more

Orchid Florist is always exceptional. Each time I have ordered flowers or plants, they always add something extra or special to the order. Most recently I ordered a live gardenia plant for a gift. However, gardenia plants do not flower typically in winter. Without asking, Orchid Florist dressed the beautiful plant with cut flowers to make the gift extra special. A wonderful and professional florist. I will be back. read more

Although I do not send flowers often, when I do Orchid Florist is my choice. Not only is Felip a kind, generous man who takes his craft seriously, he creates the most exquisite arrangements. Yes, his prices are higher than some florists, but if you care about the message that you are sending someone with flowers, the price is more than reasonable. I would not think of going anywhere else. read more

I absolutely loved working with Felip, and his floral arrangements made my wedding at the Brazil Room look stunning. I have to admit, I wasn't a big fan of spending a lot on wedding flowers that we'd just throw away the next day, but I am so glad that we did. I was thinking about it the wrong way - gorgeous wedding flowers will make your wedding photos look much better and they will really set the tone for the wedding. Orchid Florist did an incredible job, and the price was very reasonable. My wedding was unique in that I wanted all of the flowers to be tropical and exotic. Felip understood my vision from the beginning and ran with it. He checked in with me just enough to make sure he was going in the right direction, but otherwise, I was involved very little and just trusted him to show up with awesome flowers on our wedding day. Needless to say, he surpassed all of my expectations. From my exquisite bouquet, to the unique boutonnieres to the huge ceremony arrangements, everything was just perfect. Orchid Florist also delivered everything to the venue and expertly set everything up, which was much appreciated. So, if you're looking for a wedding florist, I'd definitely recommend Orchid Florist. They will take your wedding from "nice" to "WOW." read more

Felip is a genius when it comes to flowers. The flowers for my wedding turned out to be stunning. We had worked for a few months on the design, and they came together beautifully. While I didn't really care what kind of flowers I had, I knew I really wanted to incorporate feathers into all the bouquets and arrangements - and Felip was the only florist I spoke with who could make that happen and seemed to share my vision. I will say, however, that he is not the most responsive. I felt that unless I physically went into the shop, I couldn't get answers from him. As the wedding got closer, I would try to call with questions or to clarify something, and would often get no answer. Emails would go unanswered for a week, or only part of my email would be answered or responded to, and there was a lot of back and forth at the very end (up to 2 days before the wedding) over the final contract and costs. In the end, the flowers came together BEAUTIFULLY - so much better than I could have hoped for. Felip is expensive, but in my opinion, it was worth it! read more

This review has been delayed for a long time. My apologies. This is the best place you can find to order a gorgeous floral arrangement to give to a loved one.

I have been getting beautiful flowers here for many years. I have never been disappointed with the service and quality of their craftsmanship. I highly recommend them if you are looking to give a great floral gift. You won't regret it. Thank you Felip and staff!! read more

Felip at Orchid Florist did the ceremony and personal florals for our wedding at the Berkeley Country Club in April 2018. He and his team did an AMAZING job and EXCEEDED our expectations!!! Felip was easy to work with - we met once and gave him an idea of what we were going for (a few photos and some color / flower choices) and the end product was so so wonderful. Ours was a relatively small order, including: bridal bouquet, personal flowers (boutonnieres + corsages), some aisle decor, and the chuppah. Our reception centerpieces were succulents (made by another vendor), but Felip incorporated several succulents into the chuppah decor and into my bridal bouquet. If you are planning a Jewish wedding ceremony, Felip has a rustic birch chuppah that you can rent for a very reasonable price (rental + install/breakdown). We didn't really know what to expect for the chuppah because we really only gave him some basic design / color ideas, but the final setup was amazing. I was really in awe standing under the chuppah during our wedding ceremony. We used a family heirloom as the chuppah canopy, and Felip and his team were very careful and respectful of this item while assembling the chuppah. read more

Ordered flowers for my co-worker's anniversary the afternoon before her big day. Called the day of delivery to find out when it would arrive, the gentleman I spoke to said it was just waiting for some very specific flowers to come in to complete the arrangement. I totally understood and appreciated the attention to detail. I asked if it could arrive before 12PM as that was when my Boss had to leave and she really wanted to see my co-worker receive her flowers. They said they would try. It arrived at 12PM on the dot! My co-workers was blown away and LOVED her arrangement. The flowers are gorgeous! (Ordered the Premium "COLORFUL ALTER EGO".) Love Orchid Florist, been getting flowers for my Mom for years, always good quality. This is the first time I used them for business. Very happy. read more

I was planning a wedding up in the Brazil Room and Orchid Florist was on their list of preferred vendors. I didn't know much about flowers, but one sunny Saturday I walked into the shop and Felip was there. He provided his guidance and insight, and was so informative and educational I came out suddenly wanting the most exquisite (and sadly, expensive) flowers. I told him my budget, showed him some pictures I found on pinterest, and explained what my overall look and feel was that I was going for. He was so accommodating and by far one of the nicest, most helpful florists out there. I went with him because he was such a pleasure to work with, was quick to respond, and I knew I could trust him. And boy, did Felip deliver. On my wedding day, the flowers were more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of! I was going for a romantic feel and he used a beautiful combination of garden roses, hybrid roses, calla lillies, succulents, and so much more to make the softest, round, beautiful bouquets I have ever seen. Everyone gave me so many compliments throughout the night. Some even came up to me asking if they could take the florals home even before the wedding was done! If you are having a wedding, go with Orchid Florist. You will not be disappointed. Felip will blow you away with his magic. read more

This is my third updated review on the place...some how I keep on returning to this beautiful florist despite complaining about the higher than average prices. I suppose it's b/c I like the flowers and appreciate the uniqueness of each one. For this past mother's day, my BF and I picked up a gorgeous yellow spiny-looking orchid and I couldn't resist getting for myself a delicate pink orchid in a cute bird pot. I would have to say the Orchid Florist is probably one of my fav. flower shops. Inexplicably, every holiday I end up there selecting an orchid. read more

A friend bout my a birthday bouquet, that was unequivocally the most sumptuous, striking and gorgeous bouquet I'd ever received - a rich array of flowers and colors. Absolutely New York City level, but far less costly. The store is small but not crowded, beautifully organized. I spent half an hour yesterday slowly exploring its many sections of vases, feathers, cut and growing orchids, unusual dried pods, unusual wreaths. Endless surprises.This store is a treasure fest for anyone who loves flowers and the beautiful. read more

Orchid Florist is simply the best florist -- and best in all ways. Felip's artistic designs are always gorgeous and sculptural, and the juxtaposition of shapes and colors, always original. Felip and others at the store are kind and just a joy to work with. Delivery is always perfectly timed (and always as requested). We would never even consider another florist -- ever. They have our highest recommendation. read more

Orchid Florist earned five stars all the way around! I had called three other florists to create and deliver a Get Well bouquet for my sister. The first place said they didn't deliver to the area, which was less than five miles away; and the other two did not pick up their phones. Felipe at Orchid Florist answered right away and was so easy to work with, helping me decide on something beautiful and within my budget! I got a glowing thank you from my sister and a gorgeous pic of the bouquet when it arrived. She told me later it lasted for two weeks! Five stars for sure. Keep up the great work! read more

As I celebrate my 3rd anniversary, this review is beyond overdue. Felip created my wedding bouquets and boutonnieres. They were absolutely gorgeous. He even managed to find me the giant dahlias I asked for. The prices were reasonable and I couldn't have been happier. Thank you! read more

Felip is amazing! I was getting married at The Brazilian Room in October. I am not a super femme lady. I was so unsure and really didn't know much about flowers except what I thought was pretty. I would have to say I was a more unconventional bride and I was worried that someone would either go too dark or just give me pastels or something horrifying like that. I walked into Orchid Florist and it had so many beautiful flowers and accessories for making beautiful displays. I was nervous and intimidated. Felip was so patient and he told me that he "got me" and saw my vision. I was so shocked because no one "gets me" that quick. He knew everything I was asking for was completely different for a wedding. He didn't treat me like a weirdo and he took me seriously. My wedding was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I was not the only one who dropped their jaw when they saw all the beautiful arrangements and how beautiful our Chuppah was. He really did know exactly what I wanted to see even though I had no idea how to accomplish that. Everyone kept asking where I got my flowers and I received so many compliments. Even my husband said the one thing that stuck out for him was how beautiful the arrangements were and he didn't even think he would notice anything like that. Thank you Felip! You are amazing! I could not have been happier with everything. He works with any budget and has an amazing eye for things that are beautiful in any style. I will only use him for any flowers I need in the future. He is very mellow and easy to work with. Don't pass him up. Anyone who has given him 4 stars is probably too stressed with wedding issues to properly rate him. THANK YOU AGAIN FELIP!! read more

I'm not much of a Yelper but I've been buying my orchids and arrangements from Filip for 10 years now. I buy them for my salon down the street so they need to be high quality and last a long time. When I buy the flowers for my arrangements, he always has tasteful and unique choices which is a rarity in flower shops. My creativity is always inspired when I see his offerings. Filip is also wonderful business colleague and a kind soul and I always enjoy coming in to say hello. Thank you Filip. :-) read more

I received the Phalaenopsis orchid (Moth Orchid)--listed on the website as the "Lush & Elegant White Orchid") for my wedding anniversary today. The gift was a complete surprise; despite having lived just off Solano for over ten years, I had never noticed the Orchid Florist shop. I certainly wish I had discovered it earlier! Delivery was extremely fast (according to my husband, who ordered the flowers) and they arrived in a lovely light-green planter. The orchids were in full bloom, without a single brown edge or spot; the plant is clearly bursting with health. It came with detailed care instructions, which indicated the date on which the plant had last been watered. I am so impressed by the Orchid Florist! Not only are my orchids beautiful, but the plant is of such high quality that I am sure to enjoy it for years to come. Thank you so much; I plan to order all of my local flowers from Orchid Florist from now on! read more

Felip is truly an artist. He did the flowers for our wedding in August, and did an outstanding job. His shop is just beautiful. The first time we met with him, he talked to us about our floral preferences and overall artistic vision for over an hour. The second time we met, he had put together several absolutely gorgeous arrangements to show us what he was thinking for the wedding itself. He worked with us to stay within our budget and was so creative in coming up with various suggestions. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. I would absolutely recommend Felip for weddings - you will be thrilled! read more
