Emil J Nagengast Florist

I always ask for photos of arrangements I order just to check the quality of my order. I was disappointed in the type of flower combination, amount, and color combination for the cost of the arrangement. Instead of spreading out the colors, they were grouped. Perhaps it was due to using one stem. It seemed they added more greenery then flowers and there way too much spacing in the arrangement. Perhaps my order got what ever was left in the shop that wasn’t used and the job was rushed. The flowers did look fresh though. I expected more flowers for the comparable money I spent. Unfortunately, the flowers have already been sent and paid for in advance. I always read reviews for guidance, but this time I was extremely disappointed.

This is the best florist in the area with a very friendly team of workers. They work so hard to create such beautiful styles and designs. I’ve seen arrangements for various weddings and events and everyone is always impressed. They do international orders as well, they had an arrangement sent to me in Italy and it all happened on the same day, even with a 6 hour time difference everything arrived on time. Good stuff:

Picked this florist solely based on their location. However as luck would have it I could have not picked a florist for better service or for a better selection of flowers.
Had them do a birthday arrangement for our daughter in law. She ilives in the Albany area and we are in Florida. She sent us a picture of the arrangement. How beautiful it is. Could not be happier even if I stood there and picked each flower myself. Thank you so much

I grew up on 200 Benson St, just three blocks away. As a kid we use to walk by the design area and get old flowers to bring home. I am talking the early 70’s. All my life it has been Nagengast and nothing else. They continue to be the best I can send my family and friends. I am thousands of miles away in CA, they continue to be great to me and my family. I called late, yes the Saturday before Mothers Day. My Aunt got yet again the most beautiful flowers ever! Thank you so much for taking care of us through out the years! A faithful fan living in Pasadena CA now!

This is one of my favorite local flower shops!
Located in Stuyvesant Plaza along the same side as The Pottery Place and Starbucks is this sweet little flower shop.
The variety is nice and I enjoy the fact that they have fresh orchids, seeing they’re one of my favorite flowers. They do a nice job wrapping things so it would be perfect for gift giving and they also have plenty of pre made arrangements if you’re in a hurry and need to grab and go. The «Calla Classique» and «Fashionista» are both nice pieces and I just saw something online called «Spring Bloom» that was quite pretty.
Orchids are about $ 3.50 a stem I believe. Over a week later mine are still doing quite well. Considering I’ve only changed the water once and left them over the weekend. My daughter’s St. Patricks Day piece was adorable and lasted about a week before wilting. Had she cared for it more I’m sure it would still be doing as well as my flowers are.
While I really like this shop I can’t go a full five stars because they don’t have a large lily section and only have the smaller orchids. Then again I’ve never spotted large orchids around here. Service was very friendly, even on a Sunday when they’re just about to close and things were presented very nicely. Give it a try if you’re looking for some blooms!
