Anna’s Flowers

Took my money! Automated dispenser took my cash and would not to give me the flowers. I called Anna and was refused a refund.

A 24 hour kiosk for flowers?! It’s absolutely brilliant! Forget a birthday, anniversary, or need to apologize? Now you can cover your butt when all the other places are closed for holidays. It’s a handy little stand that has bouquets in stem vases in clear lockers. You punch in the id of the flowers you want and it tells you the price at the screen.
This would have been a 5 star except I was looking for a wrapped bouquet instead of a vase. They had a couple but they were all cheap looking with carnations and baby mums. The vase bouquets had better choices in flowers and looked a lot better. Albertsons flowers was also open across the street so I ended up with that route. However, if I didn’t need it for a show, but for a housewarming or something where a vase makes sense, I would definitely use it next time.

Anna is THE BEST, hands down.
She did the flowers for my wedding and it turned out so amazing, better than I could have imagined. I was a very picky and indecisive bride, I kept changing my mind and Anna kept working with me. I could go on and on about Anna, I definitely recommend her!!!

Every time I’m in the Ralph’s Shopping Center area, I see this seemingly unmanned flower stand that’s open 24 hours. The concept is nice — you pay your cash (yes, cash — there’s no card swiper on the kiosk), press the corresponding button to the display you want, and you get your flowers. And, the floral displays are beautiful; you get what you pay for.
The day before Mother’s Day, I drove by here to get my mom some flowers… and believe it or not, the booth was manned! They were prepping the booth for the following day, and also taking orders for displays. The owners are nice folks; they even opened the booth door for me when I pointed out which floral display I wanted.
Give this place a go if you’re in the Mira Mesa area and you need some flowers for whatever occasion that calls for them.

Anna’s Flowers is not a store. It’s more of an unmanned kiosk in the middle of the Ralphs/​In and Out parking lot in Mira Mesa. There are several tiers of various flower arrangements stored in refrigerated areas, protected by thick plastic doors. Suprisingly, the prices are relatively inexpensive and the quality of the flowers have consistently been better than some of the independant flower stands and grocery stores. There are various arrangements of roses, carnations, sunflowers, etc. Best of all, the prices start at $ 3. Yes, $ 3. We purchased a small flower arrangement with a rose, babys breath, and a few other decorative leaves in a glass vase for $ 3. The flowers lasted for over a week. The arrangements vary in price up to 30 or 40 dollars as I recall. It is definetely a great place to purchase last minute gifts or simply some flowers to brighten up a home or office.
