Hiro is as kind and helpful as always - I observed him giving good plant recommendations to other customers.

As a plant lover living in nyc where not all my rooms have sunlight, I appreciate this. It makes it so much easier to plan in my head which plant will best fit in each room. This shop sells plants uncommon to most plant shops in the city such as the Hoya Hindu Rope and Peperomia plant. The staff is extremely knowledgeable on all the plant for sale and will give detailed instruction on how much sunlight and water is needed in order for it to thrive. Plus, if you buy a pot in shop, they will gladly pot it for you so you can leave ready to show it off. If you're in the neighborhood, I definitely recommend stopping by for a new plant baby.

I felt compelled to leave this review because of the previous complaint about Raul's resident dog…read moreLucas. My fiance actually dragged me into this store specifically because of Lucas, a very cute, very friendly Shiba Inu. He was totally smitten kitten by the dog's people skills, so I can assure you this is no vicious pup! Ever since that first stop into Raul's, we've come back multiple times for iced coffee and our weekly supply of flowers. The arrangements are always beautiful and stay fresh far longer than I'd ever expect. You are, however, at the mercy of whatever varieties they have in store when you come in, which is often times limited. The design of this store is also incredible. I literally sent a photo of the interiors to my wedding planner. The black and white floors are to die for. The home decor is a bit limited. I can't speak to its quality, as I've never purchased it, but the blue and white porcelain China inspired planters are very enticing. We might buy one next time we get some florals! I knocked off a star because I do agree that the staff is a little standoffish. You don't walk in and get greeted immediately. Sometimes they won't even look up or even smile. I'm not someone who minds this type of service, but I can understand why someone would be put off by it. Overall, don't be afraid of the dog :)

I want to share my very honest and BAD experience I had with this store. I went in November 25th to…read morepurchase two large plants for my apartment. I received them on sale, but they appeared healthy. I asked multiple employees how much water I should give them and how often. Knowing there are no drainage holes on the planter, I was told 6 cups once a week. I followed those instructions EXACTLY as recommended and noticed both plants begin to wilt. One was simply losing leaves while the other just started turning yellow, then brown. I realize it is normal for plants to lose leaves, but when I showed pictures to a specialist, he informed me one of my plants had gotten root rot, which occurs when you water a plant too much. The best solution was to replant the entire plant altogether. Mind you, these plants are GIGANTIC, so that is not an easy task. 3 and a half months after my purchase when I realized my plant may not survive in its condition, I decided to reach out to Raúl to see if there's anything they could do for me, considering this was their fault to begin with by misleading me with watering instructions. I was hoping they could either do the replanting to SALVAGE the plant, or replace it with a healthier one. The man at the store wrote down my name and phone number and promised a call back. They never called me back and a couple weeks later, Covid hit. I understand the severity of this pandemic and its impact on everyone's business, so to be courteous and compassionate, I decided to leave it alone for a little while, until things got back to normal. I finally decided to call them back to follow up on my inquiry that they had ignored. When I called, an employee picked up the phone and I asked to speak to the manager of the store. He told me he was him and after a brief discussion of my dilemma, he asked to send photos. He then put me on hold to ask RAÚL, THE MANAGER HE CLAIMED HE WAS. So he lied, presumably because the manager didn't want to deal with a concerned customer who spent money at his store. Despite everything, Raúl turned me away and I was told that there was absolutely NOTHING they could do for me, because it had been too long. Even though I initially reached out THREE AND A HALF MONTHS after I purchased the plant. I can't imagine that is "too long", considering large plant development is a slow process. The employee even had the audacity to claim it had been over a year, when that is entirely false and I have photos with dates to prove it (shown in the images attached). The man told me I had paid too little and those plants are worth more. He told me they were final sale, however, they did NOT say that when I purchased them. They had an entire selection of extra plants from an event they did and didn't know what to do with them, so they put them on sale. I had asked if they could replace it with a smaller healthy plant, but he refused. I'm absolutely stunned at the unprofessionalism, and lack of compassion for their customers. I didn't even receive an apology for any of this. So be warned. The only thing about customers they care about is the money in their pocket. They're not willing to assist you with anything substantial. Raúl is a greedy lazy business owner who is too cowardly to speak to his customers himself and would rather send a messenger to refuse any assistance. Save yourself the trouble and DO NOT COME HERE if plants are important to you. Otherwise, throw your money at them and never look back.
