I have lived in the Eastern suburbs my entire life (I am 58) and tried numerous florists. However,…read moreI continually return to Mandalay and the flowers they created for my daughter's 30th this week were proof why, they were breathtaking and my budget was not exorbitant I was stopped 4 times in 15 minutes walking to dinner in the city. I am exhausted at trying new ''Fad Florists'' to leave the florists with a bunch that looks amazing, only to have the flowers die within 2 days which happened to me at Christmas. Mandalay's flowers are fresh and simply they are the best in the Eastern Suburbs, for quality and their brilliance as florists who understand the occasion, you cannot beat this florist for excellence.

A call was made to the shop to advise of the issue and call back was requested. No one took the time to return the call. Given the premium nature one would expect from your business, the quality and longevity of the bouquet fell well short of expectations.

Came here late on a Saturday night, soon after learning that I had to wait over 20 minutes for my…read moretrain home. There is nothing like a bunch of fresh flowers for the home. I really wanted some. Brought a bunch of purple flowers for only $10. This was exactly a week ago. I've changed the water every second day, and these flowers are no flourishing - no dead bits. Awesome value for money with a friendly, social vendor. He is Greek. A lovely place, and the flowers are always well displayed too.

I've been coming here for years, since school days 15 years ago, graduation ceremonies and more. The pre-made bouquets were fresh and beautiful however I was looking to create a custom bouquet with pink lilies, snapdragon and kale. He was more than accommodating and whipped up the creation in a few minutes. Like a true professional, he represents a charming addition to the Central area community. Would definitely recommend local city folks to visit :)

Not the Mother of all florists, but close!…read more I usually walk in and ask for a fresh bouquet, on the spot: who it is for, the occasion, the budget, a colour restriction if there is one and off the florist goes. The flowers are of good quality, they give you recommendations to take care of them, the bouquets are well-made and always with enough greenery in it so that if you are on an empty wallet - I know I usually am - you don't show up with a tiny ridiculous thing. The selection of flowers and accessories has nothing to envy to larger florists. My favourite thing about this shop is that it is organized, but stays alive and messy: you can see the staff love flowers and a lush, beautiful display of colours. The aroma of fresh flowers and the humidity in the air just put you at peace. Walk in even if you don't buy, you'll see for yourself!

I'd been hearing a lot about this place since it opened. All the hipsters had been raving about it…read more It's decor was cool, great selection. Wait until you smell the place etc etc. If there's one thing I hate it's queuing and I heard there was always a queue, so it took me a while to get off my fat carcass and haul my ass down here. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the place and no queue. They weren't wrong, place smells amazing. Now, admittedly I'd not really been paying attention when I walked in as I'd been on my phone...... There's a lot of flowers in here....Why's that I wonder? Hang on.....This isn't Gelato Messina. I've walked into the florist 5 doors up. I'm doing the wrong review. Ok, well I've started the review so, I may as well finish it. These guys are my go to for flowers for work and for all family events on the rare occasions I participate in Adult endeavors such as buying flowers for some one. Considering what I know about flowers can be written on the back of a post it note, I always need hand holding when it comes to making my purchase and judging by my Fiancees reaction, I (they) have made a great choice. They are a little pricey but in fairness their stuff stands out. As I said we have also used them for corporate events and people have remarked on the arrangements. While it's no Ice cream parlor, Like I first thought, it is a solid florist that if you're getting something for a loved one, they're going to love it. At least, they always have in my experience. Gifting the flowers from these guys has help give the impression to others that i might be a man of taste when in reality it's all these guys. I just hand over the money and trust their excellent judgement. Wouldn't kill them to have a few ice creams available though..........

They are freshly sourced from local markets and are quite simply stunning.

PoHo is such a beautiful flower shop because as well as being a business (and even though their…read moremotivation is to serve the business) they add to the surrounding environment. It is nice just to walk past the shop because it is like a little garden is spilling out all over the street, it is impossible not to be impressed. There are little ladders with potted plant on the steps and wooden chairs covered with pots of flowers and all kinds of flowers and plants all over the side walk, it tempts me to throw a blanket down and have picnic in the middle of the street. As a business what is really good about PoHo is their particular focus on creative style in their flower arranging. They even offer a selection of sculptural flower arranging which is great and really treating it as an art form. What they are doing with native Australian flowers is particularly impressive.
