It was enough that I noticed a couple of workers glared at me. For what's meant to be a leisurely, outdoor space, they overall don't appear very happy or warm, at least not to the casual customer curious enough to walk in on a weekend. I did end up getting a reasonably priced house plant (~$26, sticker says it's from a farm in Half Moon Bay) and a beautiful pinkish 5-stem rose bouquet (~$12) because they looked nice and healthy and I knew they'd make me happy, but the vibe itself here isn't the best compared to other nurseries. This also isn't really a full walk-in florist space. There are some pretty bouquet options to choose from, but it's not as extensive as expected particularly given the other reviews that make it sound like a dedicated florist service. I did see a lot of colorful potted orchids lined up across the front window. Also, overall the items in the gift shop are extremely pricey and up marked -- doesn't seem like much shopping gets done in this space -- and it's less so a quaint country shop vibe and more so try-hard pretentious.

The lilies on the side fell and died the night we brought this home. Super disappointed especially for the price that was paid for this.

My teen ordered a corsage and boutonnière two weeks before prom, showing the florist pictures of…read morespecific flowers (roses and lilies), and then was told they would be ready for pick up on the day of prom. The day of prom comes, and my child goes to pick them up- the guy forgot to make them!! So instead, he tries to pawn off what looks like a week old white rose corsage that is completely wilted and browning around the edge of the petals, and my son, being naive, pays a ridiculous amount for it and takes it. When I see it, I know that the girl he will be giving it to will not be happy (it was partially brown already), and I tell him to go back and get a refund or fix it. So he goes back... and the florist basically takes off some brown leaves and gives it back. No refund. Luckily, my child called another florist in Sunnyvale who was able to make a corsage within an hour for him, and saved the day. Avoid this place at all costs!!! This is a pic after he 'fixed' it. still limp and has some brown edges.
