I’m an extremely picky person, very specific about gifts I give and have high standards about aesthetics.
This florist exceeded my expectations by 1000% — do yourself a favor and use them always, they will CRUSH it.
Thank you again University Floral!

I used to work few doors down, and I have received and purchased flowers from this amazing floral shop. Everyone is helpful and all the flowers are gorgeous!

So I’m a little odd when it comes to the giving of flowers. I don’t like to give the «stocked» bouquets. I like to go through and pick my own arrangement. So I might seem a bit strange to a proprietor who is used to patrons getting the pre-​fixings, or letting the staff construct the arrangement.
So that’s what I did this time. And I like odd flowers, exotic ones that you notice right off. This place had a pretty nice selection of the non-​generic.

Very expensive and they skip on making it look full. Not a problem if it was cheap. But it’s not. Try someone else. There are plenty others around here.

What good fortune to be staying around the corner from University Floral. We were in town from Portland OR to take two besties to Carnegie Hall to see Patti LuPone. We asked for and received two gorgeous understated 2-​rose wrist corsages. They went over really well and surprised and pleased our dates to no end. Great service including flower advice and STRICT instruction of how they were to be worn: left wrist — flowers facing UP! :) Thank you Univeristy Floral!

I was desperate to find a wedding bouquet for a friend who didn’t really think she needed one! I knew how much more she would like her pictures if she had the flowers so I grabbed a Citibike and went from florist to florist the DAY BEFORE the wedding and struck out at place after place Fidi, Tribeca, Soho.
It was a Friday late afternoon and the stock was low and or the colors too anemic and pale, UNTIL I remembered that there was a really lush looking place on University. and TA DA!, floral heaven at University Floral Design. I spoke with Peter the owner who had the all jewel tones you could ever want and he had such good fresh and colorful stock.
We planned the bouquet from what was in the store, but he really went the extra mile — literally — up to the wholesale flower market the next morning to find dark burgundy peonies — which really brought the flowers over the top.
Now go look at the pictures from June 13 — dazzling! This place rocks.

The past two times I’ve purchased flowers here they have died within a few days. This last time, I bought a dozen rose, which is pricey, and they drooped within a day. i called to complain, and they nicely replaced them, but the replacements only lasted 3 days. At $ 6/​stem you expect them to last a little bit longer than ones from the corner store would.

While I’m not yet a customer, I stopped in here one night after work and asked the manager (perhaps owner) if he could answer a few questions I had about buying a larger house plant for our apartment.
He answered all of my questions and showed me a few plants that they had in stock. He also suggested I try their other location because they have a larger selection of house plants.
They deliver anywhere in Manhattan for an additional $ 15 — which will come in very handy if I choose a large plant.
I took a few pictures and plan on discussing with my boyfriend. I’d definitely think about buying our plant from here.

They always deliver gorgeous flower arrangements so I will give them 4 stars for that. My wife has always loved the arrangements I’ve sent her from there. Her birthday is in October, and they always nail the autumn bouquet without being cheesy about it.
I think this place lacks on customer service… at least over the phone. If they make a mistake they are not apologetic at all. I had an issue with the delivery once, and didn’t even get an «I’m sorry.» Well, I’m sorry, but if I order flowers on a Tuesday, there is no reason why they shouldn’t be part of the first delivery trip of the day. At any rate, just be sure to give detailed instructions when it comes to where and when you want them delivered.

My mother sends me flowers from here for my birthday every year. She always tells them to not make it Christmasy because it is for my birthday (which occurs around Xmas). Sure enough they always come with some holly and poinsetas. They have nice orchids there but each one costs around $ 85. I recommend going to the store to order flowers… that way you can pick them out yourself.
