Gotta love a florist open for most of the day on a Sunday, with a pretty large stock of flowers and plants, that provides incredibly friendly service to boot! There never seems to be a good florist around when I need one so I did a quick search, took a fifteen minute bus ride and stopped in to Midtown Florist crossing my fingers and toes that they would have a decent selection available. They sure did! I arrived late afternoon on a brutally cold Sunday and it was a full house in there! Still, I was treated with terrific customer service. All of my questions were answered, even the ones that I admitted were probably silly. They wrapped my purchase really well and had the sense(which I did not) to ask me how I was traveling so they could wrap it even better. It made a big difference because nothing says«ruined gift» like hopping back on the bus realizing you can’t actually handle your gift because you didn’t consider the packing of it. Service was speedy. The plant I picked out was looking great three days later, and I wouldn’t mind returning to pick out some flowers for my own coffee table when the weather is a little nicer. Plus, their convenient location near Atlantic Terminal makes Midtown Florist my new go to for last minute gift crises!

Superb friendly and helpful customer service! Customer service of this caliber is rare in the city but somehow this florist has not let that be an excuse to falter on such exceptional service. I came in and was instantly greeted with a smile. I was looking to make a mini bouquet for my date with a be mine card. The guy saw instantly what I was after and welcomed me to help my self in their flower fridge. The first thing I noticed was the astonishing quality that their roses were in. Each in perfect bloom and breathtaking. Normally and at most florist, you really have to sort through them to find a quality rose. Here, it’s not the case. You have a plethora of top-notch roses. What’s more, although the help was willing to allow me to help myself, he was very attentive to assisting me picking out complimentary flowers and fetching them for me in a very non-intrusive and friendly way. At the register, the help was excellent at assembling the bouquet, trimming where need be and arranging them in a very complimentary way. Also, I’m pretty sure he went back to fridge to throw in a few extra flowers at no charge to fill in the gaps and make the bouquet look full and complete. Furthermore, he wrapped the bouquet beautifully and tied a ribbon around the«be mine» card I made. The bouquet came out exceptional and way beyond expectation and the customer service made me feel welcome and was very friendly. If that weren’t enough, the price for the bouquet was very reasonable. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

These guys are amazing. Look, I’m not an expert on flowers or florists, but I have certainly bought a lot of flowers for various people from various places over the years. In general, there are lots of decent florists in Brooklyn who are probably kind of expensive but who give you good flowers. What attracted me initially to Midtown was simply that I lived nearby. What brought me back was two things: First, the flowers we bought from them lasted for WEEKS. It’s crazy — these flowers look great for far longer than flowers I’ve gotten elsewhere. It may just be that I’m finally shopping at a decent florist, but man, they look great forever, to the point where it’s funny to people. Second, they’re awesome to deal with. I usually just give them a price and let them go nuts. They’re very friendly and happy to help. At this point, I see no need to shop for flowers anywhere else nearby. I’m very happy with Midtown and will gladly continue to give them my business.

I used midtown florist for my wedding and for various birthdays and valentines days since. This business is fair, honest and hard working. They are incredible at reproducing any arrangement from any picture you can provide for a fraction of the price. I dealt with Barry and he was very professional and informative.

I was in a hurry home but wanted to stop in and pick up a little cactus. So I did. The little thing looked cool, and I was surprised by the white flowers on a cactus that I thought only grew red ones. Since I don’t know the going rates of cacti, I paid what they asked. But two days later I was in Ikea and saw similar-sized cacti for ¼ the price. D’oh. Then, when I repotted the thing, I had a closer look and discovered the flowers were dried and GLUEDONWITH A HOT-GLUEGUN! In sum, only go here if you want to spend the extra money for the 3-for-1 cacti, flowers, and glue special.

They are overpriced and the flowers look really bad. Terrible attitude from the customer service people. They also have a $ 15 minimum on credit card transactions, which is not displayed anywhere. The one and only time that I bought something there, the head of the flower came right off of its stem when I unpacked the bouquet. This neighborhood doesn’t have many flower shops, but this one does not solve the problem at all.
