"You can't always get what you want... You can't always get what you want... You can't always get what you want... But if you try sometimes You just might find You get what you need." I went in looking for one glorious Casablanca stem, which retail for $10 to $25 at most florists in the US, IF you can find them. This is a flower that can't be found in Austin, Texas. Instead, I walked out with an armful of Casablancas - some withered, banged up and stained - for a price that was so unbelievable that I'm not even going to share it here. When I got home and appraised my purchase, I realized that I had approximately 10 mostly extraordinary stems along with several throwaways. Austin Flower sells wholesale and retail flowers to people willing to make their own arrangements... or folks like me who are obsessed with Casablanca flowers. Do not come here expecting a lot of service. Come here if you are looking for flowers you cannot find anywhere else in the city. You might be bitterly disappointed. Shopping here is a little tricky. It's not likely that you will get what you came for. Or you might walk out feeling like you've robbed a bank. read more

Decent selection, just disappointed by employee transparency. They market "affordable" on their sign, so I came in assuming I could get something small (obviously slightly more expensive) while supporting local business over central market. Asked an employee for help making a small bouquet around the $30-35 range, mentioned I was on a college student budget. she said it would be hard but handed me some spray roses and grass filler. There are no prices listed on the items she handed me. It rang up for $50, but the employee had already wrapped it all up before pricing it. Felt I had no option but to pay. Wish there were at least a few better priced options so it's easier to support business like this, and wished the employees were more transparent. For reference, exact same bouquet at central market is about $22. Mother's day markup? Idk read more

Austin Flower - $50 for this - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wasn't a big fan. The day I visited the flowers were all looking very close to being dead and were all pretty sad. They don't post prices which is frustrating and nobody on the staff acknowledged my presence at all. read more

Garrett was so nice and informative. My family n myself were treated kindly, the flowers were fresh and beautiful but alive n awesome!! If you need flowers for ANY occasion, check them out!!! read more

I have purchased at Austin Flower about 20 times and have always had excellent experiences. Their daily selection is great. They get deliveries at least three times a week from all over the world. I have special ordered when needed but I enjoy just dropping by to see what has come in recently. I see comments about cut flowers in decline but that is the nature of the product. They also sell potted flowers. I rate them 5 stars for selection, prices, product knowledge and friendly service. read more

Really disappointed by my experience here. Almost everything in their selection was well past full bloom and dying/browning. Multiple of the flowers in my bouquet ended up falling apart by the time I got them home. Especially at this price point this is not worth anywhere near the amount I paid. I'm doubly disappointed by how many good things I had heard about them, only to have a selection this poor. This being said, staff was very helpful in helping me pick out flowers and did their best to help me pull something together that looked good. read more

Austin Flower - How are these tulips? - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Austin, Texas

Bought some flowers here and made my own beautiful flower arrangement. Its peony season right now so there were so many fresh selections of peonies which i got 2 and both of them bloomed so nicely. They have a great selection of so many amazing flowers including the iris, snapdragons, and the rattails which i picked! They have so many other flowers as well and fillers for bouquets or arrangements and they keep them cold in the back. I'd recommend this place! read more

The 'fillers' were $15 each and way too expensive. More expensive than the actual flower. $55 for a $19 bouquet and two fillers... Terrible value and I can't go back or recommend anyone to go because of it. read more

I love supporting small businesses, and it always makes me feel better buying from a local shop than a large retailer. I've been coming to Austin Flower for a few years now, and I have the best experience every time. Their flower selection is great, and you can buy a ton of flowers for a really decent price. They organize the flowers beautifully, and they always impress whoever I'm planning to get the flowers for. read more

Austin Flower - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Austin, Texas

risky purchase Let me start by saying I have never written a negative Yelp review, so it takes a lot for me to think it should be shared and possibly affect their business . I have been getting flowers here retail for 12 years. I was in last week and spent $300 for my home, $100 of that on many bunches of Lysianthis. There were some flowers open but the majority were still closed . As usual, I went home to cut them and immediately put them in their vase. a week later, they still had not opened AT ALL. not some didnt open, nothing more opened from the day I purchased them. I took them back exactly a week later and expressed my concern for spending that money and them not opening. Now this has actually happened a few times before but I've never felt the need to go back bc obviously it's the nature flowers sometimes. This was a clear issue. when I showed them, I was told there was nothing they could do since it had been a week and I should've brought them the next day. In that case, they could've done something. I continuously asked how I would know they wouldn't open in a day and all I got was an "I'm sorry". The reason I waited a week is bc I was waiting for them to open! I asked for her to ask the owner and she went back there returning with a "I'm sorry, there is nothing we can do". the thing that insensed me so much was that she didn't even take the flowers to him. Now, it's not about the money, it's about being treated respectfully as a customer, and a loyal one at that. I felt like inwasnt given the time of day when the owner manager could've walked 10 feet to me to personally apologize and explain the return policy. I stood there for a solid 15. mI had $200 more in flowers to purchase that day and I wasn't even offered a discount. Nothing! Not wholesale price, 5% off..... anything to show "gosh, that stinks and we aren't sure why but it could've been us and we want you to come back".again, it's not about the money, but just showing they care that it happened. The reasons they wouldn't open is something that went wrong in the transport, delivery, put out process. Maybe out of water too long, got hot, not cut correctly.... something but the issue was not a subjective thing. These 5 bunches of the same flowers were all still closed while the other flowers I bought were great. Being that this has happened before, I won't be taking the chance spending a lot of money here Especially knowing there is no recourse if it's a quality or issue they are at fault. I'm sad and disappointed to say the least bc I love this place. Im a firm believer that it's not a company's mistakes that define them but how they handle them and this couldn't have been worse read more

My husband bought 2 dozen red roses for me last Wednesday, but within 5 days they were all drooping and almost dead. Our previous experience with Austin Flower Company has been very positive - they have a great selection of very fresh flowers. I called, and they asked me to bring a photo of the flowers and a receipt if possible. They replaced them for me without any hesitation after they saw the photo, and they apologized that the previous bouquet was not of the quality they usually carry. It must have been a bad batch of roses. I'm grateful that they provide such good, friendly service, and that they stand behind the quality of their flowers. read more

Austin Flower - 2 dozen roses - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow! Wow wow wow! This was my first time to come to this place and I will def be back! My husband had gotten my flowers here in the past, but we were getting some for a friend and holy smokes! They have an amazing selection of high quality flowers and plants! You can choose whatever you want and they can either wrap them up to go or actually do an arrangement for you (you buy a vase from them as well). If we had gone to a florist or even a grocery store and bought their top quality, it would have easily cost DOUBLE what we paid AND they would have wilted faster because they weren't as fresh as these. This place is THE BEST! read more

I've been kindly patronizing this place since they first opening in the 90's even though I've gotten some sketchy flowers occasionally.. I've spent thousands of dollars with them thru the years and sent them tons of referrals. I understand they have grown with Austin and don't seem to need my business anymore. They not only have young people with demeaning attitudes , they lack care for the bind they have left me and others in. I placed an order on Monday for a Saturday pick up. They called it a wish list . They didn't pull my order or call me to tell me they were to busy to bother with it. I don't usually write bad reviews but today their lack of consideration was hurtful and unacceptable. There's other places to buy flowers in Austin . read more

Fresh and good variety. Helpful service but leave you alone if you want to browse through the variety.9

This review is solely based on my personal experience. If you do not agree with me, please DO NOT message me and tell me that I am wrong because your experience is not same as mine. I love supporting local businesses and recommending them but definitely not if they are not honest to their customers. 1. False advertising (see attached picture #1 & #2) 2. After getting the 3 plants that I ordered from the rack (curbside pick-up) I noticed they looked totally different from what they have on their website when I ordered it. An associate (she has make-up of bloody forehead on for Halloween) came out to put more plants on the rack. I talked to her and showed her that the plant that she put out for me looks very different. She said "It is the same plant. You ordered Neon Pothos and those are Neon Pothos." I explained to her that I am new to indoor/tropical plants so I am not good with their names yet. I don't buy based on the name of the plants but how they look. I explained to her that really like the plants on the website (which I showed her --picture #1, has rounder heart-shape and not much ridges on the leaves. The plant that was given to me is oval/narrow leaves and more well-defined ridges on it. Although I am new to indoor plant, I am not stupid to believe her lies-- She said, "Those pictures were taken couple days ago and weather could change how they look like."-- She offered me a full refund but I told her that I will just keep the plants because I did not want to waste my gas, mileage and 1 hr 10 minutes round trip drive and come home empty handed. I wish she offered me to replace the plant that she gave me with the plant that they advertised on their website when I ordered it; Or She should just offered the refund and stop her mouth from there. I was very disgusted by her lying to me and think I stupid that I would believe her that weather would drastically change the plants' feature... not even after few months. 3. Did not admit the error to me but suddenly made changes on their website after few hours I made a complain (see picture #3 and compare it to picture #1) 4. I will definitely DO NOT recommend buying from this business specially if you are new to plants and you are not familiar with how are they should really look. This business is not reliable with accuracy of information on their website. Their associate failed to be honest. The management is aware of the false advertising and made changes but not even called me to apologized and attempt to give/offer me the same plants I saw when I made my purchase online. Plant that they originally posted on their website is identified as "Philodendron Neon Heart-shape" by many plant collectors in the plant group. Buyers like me base my purchase on the look of the plant not their names ended up get fooled. Then they changed the picture on the same original link "Neon Pothos" after I made my complain. read more

I used to come here often because of the price and the their customer service. Sad to say, like many other Austin businesses, this place went downhill. I bought $75 worth of flowers. Their workers were not polite or helpful at all. I definitely will not be coming back. read more

Wasn't greeted or offered any assistance the entire time I was there (ten minutes). Six dollar stems of peonies were bruised and battered and definitely not worth taking home. They have a wide selection of flowers, but it seems as though Saturday isn't a great day to go. Of the four bouquets I was interested in, only one was unblemished and hearty enough to get to Monday when I need them (and those were leaves). Most of the items were unlabeled and with the three employees conversing amongst each other instead of assisting the two customers in there, you had to figure it out on your own, it seemed. I drove an hour because of the rave reviews and left flowerless and disappointed. read more

I've been coming here for years for both school Valentine's Day fundraiser flowers AND special occasion flowers.

This place is an absolute fun house whenever there is an issue with my flowers or my plant order, the workers are always there to help me out even it there was miscommunication. I've been going for years and never had a sour experience. The new girl buying with the orange hair (Mary I think) has so much knowledge of the plants. Mary and Sophie have given me so much information about plants and flowers, that my plants are glowing in my house Please don't let anyone here prove you wrong on how the plants are what they post because they obviously don't understand how hard they work and how MANY plants they get. It's truly a jungle dream in the plant room read more

I have come in here a handful of times and it is always a pleasant experience. I was most recently there this afternoon and dealt with an awesome girl with dark hair. I am getting my ass kicked by allergies so I know that I was not on my game as far as being able to think straight and she was super helpful and patient and I really appreciated it. Just wanted to give kudos to them b/c I'm a repeat customer and I love going in there. We're getting our wedding flowers from there since I've always been happy with them and I'll be picking them up in a couple of weeks. Very excited, thanks Austin Flower Co. read more

selection was great but the customer service is terrible to say the least. this was my first time here and me and my fiance were not even greeted upon entering. when I had my items to checkout, both of the counters were busy so I told the girl that I was ready to checkout. she just grinned at me and no one answered my question. a worker then told me they'd help me on counter one. as I made my way over there the worker did not ask if I found everything okay, nothing not even a hello just asked how many counts I had. paid and left. the energy felt so off and it didn't even seem close to busy. would love to be back here for the selection but the energy here is not it. read more

The staff here is very friendly and very helpful. The idea is really cool. They have most of their flowers in one room and you can just go in and pick which ones you want. I had no idea what I was doing and they steered me in the right direction. We also used Austin Flower for our wedding flowers a few years ago and loved the flowers then too. I'll definitely be back. read more

Well, I found my hydrangea had fungus on it, 2 days later from buying, with brown spots and white fluff not only at the tip of leaves, but also at a tiny dead flower. Some leaves had been carefully cut by the Austin Flower Co. at the very tip (to my surprise, I even didn't notice that when buying it) but I still can see the brown edge with white cilium of fungus. They must knew that this plant had been sick. I checked out the pathology atlas of hydrangea on internet and found it was called GRAY MOLD, which could be found on leaves and flowers and is easy to treat. So it is a reminder to those who plan to buy hydrangea from them since it's a communicable disease and all their hydrangea pot stay in the same room with very limited distance from each other. I think it was my fault that I didn't check every leaf carefully enough before paying money for it. Nevertheless, Austin Flower Co actually took really good care of the plant because they had cut the infected tip of leaves, which is too tiny to notice for a careless layman like me. However, I still wanna ask a question: why didn't you mention the problem to the customer even when you not only had known the problem, but also had already cut the leave tip? Four stars for reasonable price, good service and good care of plants. The missed star is for the communicable gray molds they didn't even mention. read more

One of my best friends recently retired and I stopped by Austin Flower to get her something extraordinary. She is a huge plant and flower lover and one of the most thoughtful people I know, so I knew that Austin Flower would have something she'd love. The selection of gorgeous flowers and HUGE potted plants is quite nice for such a small space and I was able to select a truly show stopping flowering plant (whose name escapes me, as I am not the gardening type). This plant got so many compliments, seriously! She loved it and it was well worth the price. The staff person assisting me was so sweet and helpful and even wrapped the pot for me and gave me care instructions for it. Thanks, Austin Flower!! read more

I stopped in here yesterday (6 days before Easter) to get 2 potted Easter lilies for my Morehand's ladies (they're sweet and I like to surprise them now and then), and I decided to get an extra one for our office at UT. It was quick-- the lilies were lined up inside; I picked 3; the guy at the counter found some covers for the pots, and I paid him. He put together a box to make it easier for me to carry them. This wasn't an involved purchase (such as would be expected while choosing flowers for a wedding), but it was quick and pleasant. I don't often need to buy flowers---usually just to make amends when I make a woman angry, but that doesn't happen often anymore. My mother did teach me to take flowers when I'm invited to someone's house for dinner, and this is the place I'll go for that. I'm glad I went here, and will go back when I need flowers. read more

Listen up fellas! You want to find nice flowers for a special woman in your life? Sure you do! I'm not talking about buying flowers for a lame half hearted apology. I can't help you be more forthcoming with your feelings, nor can I help you be less selfish, but I can tell you about this place that has enough flowers to get you through any occasion. You have to bring your creative flair for color or have a good idea what you want when you arrive since they advertise as a flower wholesaler. Think of it as a Home Depot as opposed to Crump for plumbing supplies. Yes I will screw up analogies all day long if you let me...but you guys know what I'm talking about. Don't expect service to be stellar or sprawling aisles of flowers ordered by color or any of that kind of nonsense. Though I will say that everything that I've ever wanted, I could find with no problem, and if I had a simple question it got answered. This is no frills flower buying without people hovering over you to find out what the occasion is, how you screwed up this time, or who died. For that reason alone, I like this store. Also the packaging is not overwrought and you're never asked to upgrade or made to feel guilty because you don't have a fancy vase to go with that, etc. They sell flowers, wrapped in paper usually and tied with a piece of twine. They almost immediately go into a vase, so the rest is superfluous. They may die after a few days or you could be fortunate and take the time to pick healthy ones like I did and see the last of them through two weeks. At the very least, yes, flowers will help you find favor with the lady that you want to impress. But at the most, they have every one of your good intentions resting in the bottom of each bud ready to open up and show the world. read more

Wish I could give them 3.5 stars.. I really do like Austin Flower Co, but they are a bit pricey. I generally come here when I'm planning on getting flowers for anyone. Since I know absolutely nothing about plants or flowers, they make it easy with pre-made bundles that I can choose from and scoop up and buy. They are always really beautiful, but very expensive (about $40). They seem to have a decent selection of other flowers and interesting fillers and their employees are at least pretty helpful and knowledgeable. They also sell vases here, which is handy. As for the guy raving about price gouging, umm.. that's what happens. Not sure how you managed to be a loyal customer for 10 years and then decide never to go back just because prices went up for the busiest holiday for a floral shop of the year.. read more

First Yelp review ever. But I had such a great experience here at Austin Flower Company that I felt I needed to give them a huge shout out. I was in town for our destination wedding and decided to make my own bouquet. After finding Austin Flower company online, I went the day before I got married to get the flowers. The selection was great, and it was really easy to pick what I wanted. Then we met Dylan. Dylan asked a few questions and quickly found out my plans for the flowers. He gave me wholesale pricing because I was the bride, and showed me a few tips on how to make the bouquet look best. He made sure we had something to carry them all in, and helped walk the flowers to the car. We were really impressed with the level of customer service at that point- when he asked us to wait a few minutes while he ran back inside. A few minutes later he comes back with more flowers that he felt would make the bouquet look nice. What?? Free? Could this experience have gone any better? The answer is no. Best ever. Dylan- you went above and beyond, and I am so appreciative of your willingness and generosity. This place rocks. read more

Used Austin Flower as a huge resource during my wedding and they were so helpful! Stephanie was so kind and understanding when helping us pick which flowers to use and explaining their care.

I got my flowers here for my wedding reception. They have a great selection, the prices are not insane. But my main flower was orchids, and the purple ones I had ordered for centerpieces had seen better days. Also, as previously stated, the staff is really, really annoying. And they can also bite me. Still, the flowers were pretty and very unusual, which is what I wanted, and ordering and pickup was fairly drama-free. read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else for a bouquet. That being said, you should know: 1) Austin Flower Co. does not generally arrange flowers, although they do have a small selection of bouquets. 2) AFC is primarily comprised of a large walk-in fridge room with a ton of varieties of flowers. 3) You can easily mix and match the flowers in the back room for a unique and well-priced bouquet - I can walk out of here with a $10 bouquet that I'm totally thrilled about! The people here are always helpful and friendly to me. I generally walk around with a puzzled look on my face, because I'm indecisive when it comes to matching colors and textures of flowers, and they're more than willing to guide me on my flower quest. I stop by after work sometimes when I just need a pick me up, and buy a bouquet of a single flower variety to fill some vases around my house. It works like a charm, and always lasts around a week! They always wrap the flowers you buy in beautiful paper and tie them up with raffia - so they're just as convenient for romantic gestures as mother's day presents! read more

***Holy cow, this is uber long. Nutshell version: (1) incredibly helpful staff in 2 of my 3 interactions, where I had a pretty darn good idea of what I wanted; the third interaction was just average; (2) double-check your order; (3) very decent pricing. Not cheap or budget, but competitive (for the not-readily-available flowers I wanted anyway)**** So, my best friend of 15 years was having a super low-key wedding here in Austin -- I debated whether, despite her telling me she didn't want a bouquet, she really meant what she was saying, or she was just avoiding details for her own reasons. Being a wedding-lover, I think a bride is just incomplete without some sort of florals in there; as her best friend, I figured I could try my hand at making something, and if she hated it, I'd just have a lovely arrangement in my home. I researched the heck out of bouquets for ideas after she told me she loved callas; I knew she was a vibrant color in my head, so settled on Sunset or Mango or Orange Flame... but hopefully something red. I actually got Austin Flower Co. confused with the Flower Bucket, and dialed up FB to see if these were in stock, but their lovely phone person said no, but try Austin Flower Co. I called AFC -- okay, perhaps not the most effervescent of sales people on the phone, but 15 mins before closing, still pleasant and answered all my questions. Even suggested that I place an order just in case, and I could swing by just to get a visual before placing the order. When i went by on my lunch break, super busy -- but as one of the guys was writing my order, I somehow blurted out that it was for a wedding (which i was *so* trying to avoid mentioning, b/c that 7-letter word sure does quadruple prices!), and then a more senior staff person added some more suggestions for greenery. My guy took me to the next room to make sure of what I wanted, and we even popped back and forth between the back room and the other so as to consult the other senior guy (who was ringing people up). How awesome! The only snafu was when I went to pick up all my flowers I ordered -- the line was a little lengthy, a little slow, and when I double-checked my order in my car, I was short by a few stems. But I went right back inside, and there they were -- outside the box my order was placed in, but whatevs, I got them. I also think i got a discount somehow, b/c the price was lower than what I was originally quoted -- whoo-hoo! Er, very long review, but I'm a fan for them helping me out majorly when I didn't know what I was doing :D read more
