I ordered an arrangement containing tulips for my girlfriend for valentines day for $120. What Spruce delivered was 12 dying tulips thrown into a rectangular vase. No arrangement or design at all (see photo of the pink tulip "arrangement" right after delivery). I called and they said the price was normally $75 but because it was Valentines day the price was higher. Is that even legal? They are very friendly and nice but i feel ripped off. We are also getting married and judging from their site and store they would be perfect but I can only imagine what stunts they would pull for a wedding. Never again... read more

Spruce Flowers - $120 for this"arrangement" - Florists Near Me - New York, New York

Instead of going through 1-800-Flowers or another national company that contracts out with independent florists, I figured I might as well just go straight to Yelp and find a local florist. It was my friend's 30th birthday and since I couldn't be there with her, I wanted to send her some really great flowers. After seeing Spruce as one of the top-rated florists (and with Sam P's glowing review!), I decided to give it a go. I was thrilled that I could order online (rather than have to explain to someone what I was looking for) - I ordered my friend white roses in a crate (which looked great on the site). And, honestly, the price wasn't too bad, especially considering how much a crappy bouquet can cost on other websites. Also, they don't have exorbitant shipping and handling fees - delivery is free for most of Manhattan! I ordered weeks in advance and was concerned that the order might get lost. On the day the flowers were supposed to arrive, I called the florist just to confirm that they arrived. Spruce said they had an issue delivering the flowers because she doesn't live at a doorman building. Sad, but I understand that they want to make sure that she is there, though I didn't want to ruin the surprise. I managed to work things out with her husband so that he could get the florist to deliver at a time when he would be home; yay! The next day, Spruce called to confirm that the delivery went through. And she loved them! read more

The geniuses at Spruce have moved up to Chelsea and set up a nice little minimalist shop in the midst of the gay highway on 8th Ave. I'd seen their arrangements all over, but stopped in recently to pick up one of their famous rose crates at the request of a friend. Simple and beautiful, their arrangements show so much creativity and attention to detail and style. I just love them. Then, to top it all off, i was expecting some combination of bitchy-flower queens and Dieter from Sprockets to be working the register, but instead it was the most lovely girl who helped me out with everything I needed. If I'm ever allowed to get married, I know who's doing my flowers. read more

Gaige, are you kidding me? Unkind remarks? Everything that I have said is the truth. I didn't make anything up, did I? On 1/18, I followed up to tell you that no one has contacted me. And then you responded that Ashley will contact me the next week. That didn't happen, did it? So, No, I didn't make anything up. And as far as I am concerned, everything you are saying is an excuse. Not to mention that you completely LIED about the followup emails. You never did this part: "I contacted Helen and explained that we were in a transition period as my wedding designer suddenly ended up in the emergency room and was very sick and could no longer work. I explained that my new designer would be contacting her, in 2 weeks. I also emailed her and let her know that it may take a little longer due to the nature of the quick transition." LIAR! I searched all over my emails, even the spam folder and I never got any of this! Also, your comment shows how poor your customer service. Really? When a customer calls you on your poor client service, your response is to point fingers at the client? I can only imagine how you will react if I choose you as my wedding florist and you mess something up. Forget about feeling sorry. read more

Horrible! I ordered flowers from this company because I liked their contemporary/modern designs but let me just say that is the only thing they have going for them. I placed an order early Wednesday morning at 9am and requested a $200 flower delivery for the same day. When I had not heard from the recipient that night I called them to see if they had delivered them and they said NO... they apologized and told me it didn't get done because they were too busy (That is no excuse when you are running a business, especially when customers rely on timely delivery). Anyways I let it slide and they told me it would get delivered the following day. The next day the flowers were delivered, the recipient sent me a picture of what was received and it was completely the WRONG flower arrangement. I paid $200 and they sent a $150 arrangement. The worst part is that if the recipient had not emailed me a picture I would've never known. Called very upset and all they offered was the difference in money back ($50) that they messed up on... Would never order from this company again. read more

It's all here from boxes of flowers to a vase of flowers and it is brought to you by a floral designer who has had her work featured in many magazines and television shows. She probably has flowers in her blood as she comes from a family of New England gardeners. If you're a Zagat fan you might want to know that they voted the place the best flower shop in New York. read more

Worst delivery experience ever. On Valentine's Day, my boyfriend spent an obscene amount of money with them to deliver flowers to me at work. They arrived half-dead. I used to work as a florist and know crappy roses when I see them. These were old, several days old. I am okay with cheap bodega flowers, but I expect fresh flowers when we are paying the extra money at a high-end florist. Obviously today, 1 day later, the flowers are falling apart and droopy. They seriously look like they had been sitting for days in the sun at the corner bodega, just in a nice vase and none of that ugly baby's breath. He called that morning, they said they'd resolve it and deliver me new ones that day (but I had to give the old ones back, ok.). Never arrived. By 5:30pm he called, said I was leaving work soon, what's the deal? They said they went out several hours ago, he would call the driver, and call him back. No call back. I finally called at 6:30, being very nice because I know how stressful Valentine's Day at a flower shop is. The guy said he had no idea what I was talking about and had no way of figuring out where my flowers were. Really? We just spent a ridiculous amount of money with you and you can't tell me the status? He said they guarantee office deliveries by 7pm, so although he had no idea what my order was I should probably wait. He made no effort to figure out what my order was, ask someone, anything! Really? I waited past 7:00pm, nothing, so I left. Boyfriend called again, livid. New girl picks up and says they will deliver the flowers that night to my house. 9:30 rolls around, nothing. We call and they are obviously closed. We have a doorman, so it's not like they tried and couldn't reach us. While this florist offers gorgeous, quality arrangements in store when they know you can see the quality before you buy, I would not trust them for delivery. They try to pass off half-dead flowers on you, hoping the sender will not know. I'm not the first reviewer to have this experience. They are incredibly unorganized and think just telling you they will fix it, when they do absolutely nothing, will shut you up. There are plenty of other florists in Manhattan, don't waste your money at a place where they don't value their customer and worse, over-charge and under-deliver. Will be calling for a refund, but considering their terrible customer service, we will probably have to contest the charge with our credit card company. read more

Spruce Flowers - Valentine's Day roses immediately after delivery. That right there is a rose ABOUT TO DIE. Terrible quality. - Florists Near Me - New York, New York

Spruce did an amazing job for my wedding. My husband and I always love to support independent business owners whenever possible and Spruce did not disappoint. Omar and his team always went above and beyond to make sure that our floral arrangements were perfectly aligned with the vision for our event. They even went so far as to call our venue and make an appointment to spec out the location, solely based on our initial consultation, before we ever gave them the job. This really made a strong impression on us. They were also very flexible with their pricing, especially for a cherry blossom trellis that we wanted erected at our altar. Other florists wanted to charge us an arm and a leg for this piece alone. Spruce gave us a reasonable and fair quote for all arrangements. And Omar and his wife were super nice. Would do business again! read more

If I could give fewer stars I would. Basically they met with me for 45 minutes to then ignored my emails -- only to finally respond and tell me my wedding was too small and not enough $$$ for them to bother getting back to me. *** I walk by this place everyday and thought it would be great to go with a neighborhood place to do flowers for my small downtown wedding. I met with a nice women - Debra-who spent 45 minutes talking to me, I felt like she knew what I had in mind. The small size of the event and modest by NYC standard budget was mentioned- but no number was ever given or discussed. I never heard back. I sent a. Email 2 weeks later asking if they had time to get me a quote- I heard nothing. I walked by the other day and got mad so emailed their general site that I met with someone and never heard back, They responded that they were busy and they decided my event was too small for them to even give a quote. Not okay. Avoid this place. read more

Love Spruce and their classic design. They are my go to in NYC. Love that they have online ordering even though they are not a huge shop. You know you're going to get a beautiful arrangement with fresh flowers with Spruce. Highly recommended. read more

My experience with Spruce has been amazing. Staff is friendly, flowers are fresh. I purchased MANY orchids from there before,and they all did well. Recommend this place, prices are reasonable for the area. read more

Spruce has been our favorite neighborhood florist since it was down on Greenwich Ave. We hired them to do our wedding flowers and chuppah. We wanted the flowers to be modern and not traditional "wedding flowers." Each piece was absolutely stunning. A+, highly recommended. read more

After stopping by the shop three times in an hour, the employee on duty still managed to answer all my questions willingly. This is the place to go if you're interested in buying flower arrangements that are elegant and sophisticated. I looked at the website, and their prices were too pricey for my tastes. But after stopping by the store, I saw that they had a bunch of plants and flowers that were more reasonably priced. I ended up buying a tabletop African bush plant for $40. They also do flower bouquets starting at $20. The only drawback was their limited selections. read more

First of all I just wanted to say how pleased I am with how BEAUTIFUL the flowers I purchased here for my office. Roseanne was very helpful with helping me decide which flowers to purchase- she even made a nice bouquet for me as well as the two already made vases. I've walked by before and never had a reason to go in (also I thought it was expensive, which it really wasn't for the quality). I can't wait to go back and get more! Definitely five starts- I'm impressed! read more

My husband and mother in law were in NYC on Mother's Day weekend and I couldn't be there. So I had flowers delivered from Spruce Florist. I ordered a small spray with whites, purples, hydrangeas, peonies,and lilacs. To be delivered the day before Mother's Day at 11:00 am( check in time) They both delivered better flowers than I requested but earlier than anticipated. And I get all the credit. Thank you Spruce I couldn't be happier. I had been in New York the week before so I had ordered them in person. I just happened on Spruce by accident when I was walking. The friendly attractive lady who helped me in the store could not have been nicer and more helpful. Spruce is a good value. Thank you thank you thank you read more

Spruce is sprung! Such a burst of happiness on 8th ave! Simple and elegant designs, beautifully wrapped, delivering just the right amount of tasteful joy to the recipient. read more

Spruce Flowers - Beautiful ! And they package it so nicely - Florists Near Me - New York, New York

I stumbled upon Spruce while planning a corporate event, where we ordered lavender roses in white cubes (highly recommend). After speaking with Cate, I knew we were in good hands. Cate is thorough, dependable, and so obviously passionate about her work. Their designs are beautiful and the flowers are fresh. Our arrangements were so beautiful that our guests specifically stuck around until the very end of our event to ask to take them home! Cate and everyone at Spruce is a florist extraordinaire! read more

The flower arrangements are gorgeous. Nuance is very friendly and prepared the arrangement exactly how i wanted.

Beautiful flowers again and excellent customer service, Nuance is a master of flower arrangement. Very satisfied and my go to florist for all my needs. Highly recommended. Thank you Spruce read more

If there was a way to give this place ZERO stars, I'd do it. I have stopped in my times before over the past 6 years. I have never been thrilled with what I got, in the way of flowers, but the packaging is nice and the flowers in the crates are cute. Anyone could do it, but they don't... Alas, I keep popping in here. The service is nothing to write home about. Early this year there was one tall, blond guy I found to be very helpful, pretty talented and knew a lot about the flowers, but other than that, I've found the staff to be childish and unprofessional. I suppose that explains the constant turn over of employees I've seen?! Best to spend you money elsewhere... Enough really is enough sometimes. read more

I went there today (10/13/17) and found the place closed and shuttered. I called the phone number and was told it was not in service. Goodbye to a great florist read more

I've been using Spruce flowers for 5 years now. Their delivery service is great and they have a unique set of arrangements that you can't find anywhere else. I'm a particular fan of their rose crate. It is so great that you can order something this nice and have it delivered the same day. Roger, Kate and everyone else who works there are great. They were super swamped yesterday (Valentine's day, of course), but I was able to stop by in-person and place my order for pick-up later that same day. read more

I had a city hall wedding recently and Spruce made a few table arrangements for the lunch afterwards, as well as a bouquet for me and a boutonnière for my hubs. The bouquet was slightly larger than I had anticipate and they were happy to modify it and work around my vision. I came in Friday night and everything was ready to go for me Sunday! They were very communicative and professional. read more

I used them again, this time for a custom order. I needed two dozen red roses delivered today in a conventional, non-artsy arrangement. "I don't want a crate, I don't want a champagne pail, I want your traditional 1-800-Flowers kind of thing. It's my boss that wants this done, don't screw it up." Done and done and done. read more

Summary up top: They sold me an expensive orchid that was potted incorrectly, causing the plant to nearly die, and lied about how hard it would be to care for in order to make the sale. I went in to Spruce to buy flowers for my girlfriend. I settled on a live orchid, both because I think a live plant is a better gift than cut flowers, and because my family has raised orchids and I was interested to try. I know that orchids can be fussy to care for, so I asked the guy behind the counter if it would be hard to take care of. "No!" he said, "Just water it once a month and leave it in partial light." The plant was expensive, $75, but it was blooming and beautiful so I brought it home. A month later, after the flowers had dropped and I had given it a watering, I noticed the lower leaves were dropping. I did some research, and found a few things: 1) Orchids need to be potted in pots with ventilation holes. This plant was not -- it was in a solid ceramic pot. I had to buy a new pot and new potting mixture. 2) When I repotted it, I found a mixture of potting soil and VERY densely matted moss -- terrible medium for an orchid. 3) Upon repotting, I found that nearly all the roots of the orchid had died because of its improper potting. 4) Orchids need to be watered VERY carefully, usually with a small amount of water once a week. The information the salesman gave me was totally wrong. Now, it's true that I did not know how to care for an orchid before I bought the plant. But I trusted Spruce to pot it correctly, and to give me accurate information about the plant I was buying. Either they don't have the slightest clue how to care for orchids -- this is all Orchid 101 stuff, information that I found in ten minutes on Google -- or they knowingly mispotted the orchid in a pot they thought would be more attractive, and lied about how easy it would be to care for in order to make the sale. Either way, this shop is to be avoided. read more

My experience of Gaige and her combination of talented designing skills and exemplary customer service makes SPRUCE my go to florist for client gifts as well as personal romantic moments...I just got engaged and will definitely be contacting Gaige when the time comes to think about the floral decor. read more

Best place to stop in and get an amazingly classy flower with vase for about $15. My place looks so much cooler since I discovered Spruce.

I can't recommend Spruce enough. Based on a recommendation, I called them recently to order wedding bouquets for my cousin who was tying the knot in city hall. When I called, we discussed my options, they were respectful of my budget and the flowers were gorgeous! The brides were thrilled! read more

First and foremost, Kelly at Spruce is a wonderful lady who is eager to help you find the perfect gift for any special occasion. The flowers that we put together for my best friend's birthday were simple but gorgeous. The gift also allowed my friend to reuse the wooden box for future flowers or ornaments. I'm highly impressed with the style of Spruce and would recommend them for any occasion and or event. read more

Really cute store, nice arrangements. In terms of selection, they don't have a great variety; they do strive for quality though. Spruce has wonderful customer service and they were really helpful. The girl behind the counter did a lovely job wrapping up my plant! read more

The selection is slim and the prices are insane, but there are two big reasons to shop here anyway. First, it's hard to find succulents as beautifully arranged as Spruce's potted ones. Second, the staff is super: they'll re-pot plants for you, give you free terracotta pots, nice stuff like that. read more

Amazing!!! Absolute best florist in the city. The staff knows exactly what to send & what to say in any situation, and deliver as promised. I will always use Spruce! read more

i wanted to love this place real bad because the arrangements are wonderful -- they have an eye for design. however, service is completely unreliable. may 2018 i ordered flowers for my friend (for her birthday) and, when i didn't get a thank you note from her by the EOD, i contacted the shop i got this email: "The orchids sustained damage in the rain on Saturday morning. My staff member tried to find an orchid of the same quality, but was unsuccessful. Please accept my apologies. I should have had someone contact you about the situation (I was left in the dark as well) to determine whether you would have wanted a substitute for the orchid." no orchids for birthday girl. embarrassing! a year later, decided to use them again since my friend's address was saved on the platform and i thought that was convenient. again, birthday girl doesn't thank me for the flowers by the end of day. did she get them? NO! i called the shop and they informed me spruce doesn't deliver on weekends. yet, the website has NO PROBLEM taking weekend orders--i picked sunday and it the transaction went through. flowers delivered a day later. would rather have called my friend in lieu of sending flowers. thanks to spruce, i'm that absent minded friend who clumsily sends flowers 1-2 days later. read more

I had a very unprofessional experience at this store. They never got back to me after I visited and requested a quote. I wanted to order centerpieces, bouquets and some other items for my wedding. I flew from Los Angeles, where I live, to New York, where the wedding is, to speak with florists. I sent multiple follow up emails requesting the quote. Even if my order was too small make it worth their while, they could have sent a one line email to that effect. I'm in the service industry myself what I witnessed At Spruce is an embarrassing way to run a business. read more

I used Spruce for my wedding. I was married in November, and from the moment I got in contact with Spruce everything was fantastic. I know very little about flowers and arrangements and Hailey helped me all along the way. Any questions I had she answered, she was open to anything I had to say and listened to what I liked and didn't like. The price was amazing and my wedding was lovely. Please do yourself and favor and contact Spruce! read more

They just cannot get their act together. They blew an important delivery - even though I placed the order well in advance -- and had no excuse. I have had several of these issues with them, details are not their specialty. Flowers can be lovely, but sometimes they die quickly. Sometimes things are completely lovely, but you have no way of knowing. read more

Fresh European bouquets full of lemon leaf and presented in simple glass jars.

Cute shop. Lovely, helpful staff. Like a reviewer below noted, not a huge selection, but what they have seems to match the season, and it is all very fresh-looking, and tastefully put together. I was able to get a nice bouquet for a friend without breaking the bank, and it didn't take too long. read more
