My husband of 41 years recently passed away, and making final arrangements for your true love is the most painful, confusing and awful thing a surviving spouse ever has to go through. The exceptional funeral home we chose, Nardone in Watertown, recommended Brattle Square Florist. They know all the florists and know which are top notch, with arrangements arriving beautiful, bright and long lasting. Brattle Square Florist came through, providing a bouquet for the casket and a matching vase arrangement for each side of the casket. With my husband's beloved guitars nearby on stands, the whole scene presented a loving tribute to a wonderful, kind and talented man. Their kindness and professionalism in a difficult time will be long remembered, and they will be my florist of choice forever. Thank you so much. read more

What went well is that the flowers are beautiful, but I expected Asian lilies, which is what they sent me before from this person who gave them to me so nicely for my birthday. I don't care for orange and yellow flowers in my home and this arrangement has a lot of those. Even so the selection of flowers at Greta Florist is amazingly gorgeous. read more

Amazing service, even for last minute orders out of CA! I really appreciate your his business and their kindness and professionalism! read more

I was a little bit concerned about finding a flower shop that was open on a Sunday; I'm not sure why, but I was glad to find that Brattle Square Florist was open all day. The shop is much larger than I expected with a huge selection of flowers for making a custom bouquet, and there are also lovely, ready-to-go bouquets available (which is what I opted for). The person behind the counter re-wrapped the flowers so they were more presentable as a hostess gift. read more

I placed an order online for my daughter's birthday, and she received the most beautiful bouquet ever!! We were so pleased!! (PS they are working on their website right now so I suggest calling to ascertain delivery time and what should be written on the card) read more

Brattle Square Florist - Photo actually doesn't do them justice- it is an absolutely beautiful arrangement - Florists Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

This was my very first visit to Brattle Square Florist. Upon walking in, I immediately received a large dose of dopamine. It is said that plants can lower stress hormones and increase endorphins, therefore promoting a great sense of well-being. Stepping inside this shop felt like a piece of heaven. It smelled absolutely wonderful. I walked around a bit to fully take in the smell and the view. While others were being helped, I looked around to see what I would like. I had no real plan nor idea of what I was looking for. I happened upon the Sunflowers. A shop clerk approached me; I informed her I had never been there before. She looked at me in shock but also with excitement, clearly happy I had found the place. I was assisted with picking out a small bouquet of Sunflowers with additional smaller flowers for added beauty. This family-owned business has been around for about 100 years, the clerk informed me! Happy to support. The clerk also mentioned that some call this the 'Lover's Corner.' This is because of the flower shop and the cozy cafe next door, offering hot chocolate and pastries. I have now been to both. A Lover's Corner... it is! read more

I placed an online order to send to Mt. Auburn Hospital for our new grandson. The flowers were really beautiful. Thank you so much! read more

I don't live in this area, but I wanted to send my family flowers on a short notice. I yelped several places and ended up going with Brattle Square. I called them and asked if they would be able to accommodate my request or if it would have to wait until the next day (which would have been fine with me). But they told me they could do it, so I ordered on their website. You'll see below what I ordered on their website, and what was actually delivered. I was hoping the delivered product would look similar to what I ordered, but unfortunately it was not. The flowers looked wilted, no pop of color...honestly, it just didn't look that nice. When I called to express my disappointment, Randy told me that's how those flowers just look and that I got better value in terms of flowers (but really, how would I know lol). I just know it didn't look that nice. If you're in need of flowers, order here, but don't expect to look like what you ordered on their website. read more

I stopped by because I needed a last minute bouquet. I went around 30 minutes before close, and they still had a fairly large selection. I don't know too much about making a bouquet but the florist offered to make one himself. I requested yellow flowers and in one minute, he had the perfect bouquet. I was so impressed and it only cost $20, which I was expecting to pay way more. I also noticed they also had a nice selection of succulents so I'll be back for those! read more

Ordered out of state for the birth of a nephew. We wanted something feminine for the mom while showing blue for having a boy. As you can see the original flowers didn't match what we ordered. BUT they honored that and remade the bouquet and delivered it again. Very much appreciated. The second bouquet is absolutely beautiful. read more

Unbelievably good service! Plus beautiful selection of flowers! I wanted to send flowers to a friend that just went to Mt Auburn Hospital... to be there for a few days. The hospital had very little selection. And since it was 4:30 pm, their gift shop couldn't deliver til the next day. I called Brattle Florist at 4:40 pm. Wonderful Almira said she could deliver tonight. They are close and she would take it when the shop closed! She suggested several options. I picked the basket of potted cyclamen. I paid. She was terrific. My friend will have flowers within 2 hours tonight. Love Brattle Florist! read more

Love shopping for plants, flowers and having conversation with the Owner. I love the flowers and cactus plant varieties at Steven's shop. The vibe here is warm and fun. I am in the shop at least twice a month ........ thank you! Denise Patnod, Hilliard St. Acupuncturist read more

I've been to Brattle Square Florist twice and I've been very impressed both times! The first time I ordered 12 long stem roses which my girlfriend absolutely adored! They wrapped them nicely in a box which was perfect for my commute back home. More recently I ordered the spring bouquet which is a stunning arrangement. Their selection of flowers is superior to most other florists in the Boston/Cambridge area and I highly recommend their services. I'd also like to note that both times I've ordered online and picked up from the shop. They were attentive to the notes I added in my online orders and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I am so happy with their service! I wanted some birthday flowers delivered to a Harvard student who lives in the dorm. That is a tricky request because delivery people can't actually go up and knock at the door since the entrances to the buildings are secured. They worked with me and waited at least 10 minutes until the birthday girl could come out and meet him. This might have been planned better but I wanted the flowers to be a surprise. The delivery man was super nice and super accommodating! I was sent a picture of the flowers in the vase and they are quite beautiful! The only thing that I'm not sure about is that I don't see a sunflower in there. That was one of the reasons I chose that arrangement since I knew it would remind her of home but I should have mentioned that in the special instructions. My fault! And I should add that perhaps the sunflower was on the back of the arrangement and not pictured? In any case I am very happy and will definitely be using them again! read more

The cutest family owned business!!!! Such a great vibe here, great prices, and each staff member really tries to make your experience as best as it can be! Highly recommend coming here they have the best recommendations and were recently in the news for one of the best small businesses in the cambridge/Boston area! read more

I come here a lot to buy plants and flowers. Their prices are a lot more reasonable than Petali nearby, the selection larger, and the quality no worse! The man and woman who work here are friendly and happy to answer questions, although it is a little annoying that none of the prices are marked so you have to ask one by one. I bought a medium succulent for $7 and a medium orchid for $20 recently. I still think Central Square Florist has the best prices in the area, but this florist is not a bad choice. read more

I was looking for a florist for my wedding and a friend highly recommended Brattle Square Florist. I met with the owner, Stephen, and knew immediately that he understood the kind of flowers, bouquet and table arrangements that I was hoping for. This was truly the easiest decision that I made for the wedding. We had so many compliments from our family, friends and staff from the wedding venue. Stephen, we can't thank you enough! The flowers were magnificent!!!! read more

Your one stop shop for floral and plant needs. I came in here looking for a gift and left with a cute little succulent in a pretty vase. Staff are super kind and friendly - I didn't ask a lot of questions but the man who rang me up seemed very knowledgeable about their different products and told me how to care for the plant. Prices are a little high, but hey, this is Harvard Square! read more

Brattle Square Florist One of the worst customer service I have ever experienced ! I've worked in the service industry in Back Bay Boston for 35 years and have never been treated with such rudeness and discourtesy. Wanted to order a sympathy arrangement and was told everything I requested was not in season . I was hitting walls left and right. They were not accommodating nor did not want to accommodate at all. The arrogance of the man taking the order was having discussions with others and totally ignoring me. Suddenly another man came on the phone to my utter surprise and directed me to other florist's saying we will not be able to accommodate you. They are morally inept with unethical depraved conduct. Distressing and incompetent business. read more

I ordered flowers for a funeral service and was pleasantly surprised. I spoke to Steve and asked for a lovely sympathy basket and told him I was out of state. He assured me that he would make it great. I said it was for a dear family member and he was sending to a church in Watertown. I called back the day of the funeral and he told me it was delivered. He did not disappoint, I saw pictures of the arrangement and it was beautiful!! Thank you Steve for your kind and helpful service. I really appreciate it!! read more

I have been looking for a fern for some time and im happy to say I finally found one. It's bright beautiful green 'crispy' leaves make it a stand out. It is meant for cleaning air is perfect for my NYC apartment. I love the smell it has and I know it will be a great addition to my plant collection at home.. The store was easy to find, street parking with meters is all they have out here. I had to park a few blocks away as the city attracts many people to come and most parking was taken. read more

Such a beautiful place with such fresh finds. I wanted to give a gift to a faculty member at Harvard who took me under their wing and mentored me with such kindness and warmth. I couldn't leave my academic year without providing them with a gift of some sort, despite how small that may be. So, in the midst of finals, I stumbled in to retrieve a gesture to reflect what endless appreciation I had for this person, and it truly is a gorgeous store. It is considerably pricy, and that's my only qualm I have to render. However, if you're at Harvard or in the area, and something green may go a long way for someone, consider this florist. read more

The most beautiful flowers come from Brattle Square Florist. It is a magical space tucked away in Harvard Square that has served the community for over 100 years. I have been coming here for over 20 years, often just stopping by to smell the lovey scent of fresh flowers. Stephen, the longtime manager and now owner, and his team have made several stunning arrangements for me over the years. Most recently for my wedding, he delivered the most gorgeous bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. The flowers were absolutely beautiful, classy, perfectly opened, and lasted for many days afterwards. The bouquets were full of my favorites: peonies, roses, lisianthus, and freezia. Prices are very reasonable - Stephen listened to what I was looking for and worked flexibility with my budget. Service has always been and continues to be excellent -- I stopped by to chat in person for a few minutes and then received flowers that were beyond what I could have ever imagined. Thank you Stephen for everything! read more

Ask the breakdown of the price, if you look like a foreigner : ) I just came to Harvard for a month and have been here for 4-5 times? Every time I just entered the store, picked up their arranged flowers on my own, and paid whatever total amount they charged me, without asking the breakdown price. Today I saw a bunch of arranged dried flowers in a bottle and asked the price first before taking the whole thing. The women told me the price for each kind of the flowers included in that bottle (that is nice, I appreciate it), but since I am especially interested in one red dried flower, I decided to take it separately, and she said that's $2 each. Later I ended up with only taking 2 dried flowers and one bunch of dried grass. The man in the store passed by, so I quickly asked the breakdown of the price. I had 2 red dried flower, that is $2 each again, and a small bunch of dried grass, which is $1. So my total should be $5 before tax. HOWEVER, when I walked to the check out corner, the woman looked at my stuff and directly charged me $8.6. She said the red dried flower is $2.5 each and the grass is $3. ???? Haha so something is wrong with this elementary math question??? I asked her if the grass should be $1, so she asked the man, who was standing right in that same corner, then she confirmed the total price of $6.4. Again, I am confused, because she just told me it's $2 each around 3 minutes ago and now she tried to do $2.5 ? She asked him again, in front of me, " how much did you tell her of this ?" "$2 each". FINALLY, she entered the correct amount of $5.35, but I am super confused now. She looks like it's the man who said a wrong price to the customer and now she has to sell it with a lower price, but she is also the one who knew the real price and told me $2 before I checked out!!!! I am disappointed and now suspecting all the purchases with larger numbers I made with this store and this woman. It's just $5 this time, but that doesn't mean she could charge people whatever she wants, and she didn't even say "sorry". She looks like I am supposed to be charged with random numbers and don't deserve a sorry cuz I am an Asian face : ) read more

Randy made absolutely gorgeous centerpieces, a bridal bouquet, boutonniere, and garland for our small wedding at the Harvard Club of Boston. We had an initial phone call with him for a general quote and then came into the shop to talk about the details. All I had to do was tell him a few flowers that I liked, the general color scheme, and a few photos of the styles that I liked and he was able to put together more beautiful flowers than I could have imagined. He gave us a very fair price (cheaper than any of the other places we contacted), the lowest delivery price ($30 compared to $200 for others we contacted), and was very flexible with the changes we had to make two days before the wedding to the number of centerpieces due to COVID guest counts/number of tables. It was also great to get to support a small, local business. He coordinated with the event planner at the club and only charged us just before the wedding. Overall a wonderful experience. I highly recommend working with Brattle Square Florist for your wedding. read more

Brattle Square Florist - Flower arrangement - Florists Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Cambridge being the college town that it is, I found it odd that Cambridge florists either didn't make leis at all or only offered 1-2 varieties of the graduation accessory. Though the double-strand purple-and-white orchid lei ($50) was my only option, Brattle Square Florist was a joy to work with, from taking our order via phone to having our order readily available the busy day of pick-up. I chose this florist because they were a stone's throw from the various building I had to visit in the days leading up to graduation. My lei was lush & fresh & held up beautifully all day. Centrally located for us, well-priced, friendly staff -- highly recommended for your floral needs! read more

I was hopeful that this would work out because the prices seemed good. I talked with the florist via wedding wire and told them what I would need and they said call me when you have a chance. So I did. And whoever answered the phone was nothing but rude to me and spoke to me like I was dumb. He had a very bad attitude and seemed incredibly impatient with me. I was so put off by how he was interacting with me, that I told him I did not wish to continue the quote because I thought he was being rude and his customer service was awful. And I hung up. I'm sorry that he might be having a bad day but he doesn't know what anyone else is going through. read more

Just walked into this shop and they have a nice selection. I got a small snake plant and the woman helping me gave me a free bouquet of Gerber Daisy's and white carnations. They were gonna toss them because the stems were broken but the woman offered them to me. I brought them home, cut them and arranged them nicely. Also gave me advice on how to care for my orchids. read more

I absolutely love Brattle Square Florist. We only get our flowers from them! They are super friendly and are constantly aware of your budget. I've gotten gifts and received gifts from them! More recently, we used them for our wedding! They were really easy to work with and their prices can't be beat. Randy was patient and reassuring with us as our wedding plans changed and we ended up with just a fraction of what we originally planned for! I gave them general style and color preferences and essentially let them take creative liberty! I LOVED how my flowers turned out!! Can't recommend them enough! read more

I used to love going here, but they lost my business yesterday. They guy I have been seeing for almost a year and I go here regularly, for live plants and cut fl owers. The day before Valentine's Day (our first one together) we went in to get a live plant to celebrate the holiday. After we entered, a man who works there approached us and asked if we were looking for a live plant. We said yes. He then said "Okay. It is busy in here today. We are trying to focus on Valentine's Day customers. I need to ask you to wait outside until it is calmer in here. It probably won't be calmer in here at all today, but we need to focus on people celebrating Valentine's Day, picking out flowers for each other." We were there for Valentine's Day, but we had chosen to get living plants instead of cut flowers. But, I suppose, two men didn't meet this guy's idea of what Valentine's Day looks like, and he had to make room for all the heterosexual couples. We have enjoyed this shop many times over the last year, but after being treated like that, and dismissed, I am not going to give them any more business. There are lots of flower shops, luckily, that aren't prejudiced and who won't decide who should and shouldn't be able to get flowers for various holidays. I hope it was worth losing two longtime, regular customers for people who have never been to your store before and likely won't ever be back again. read more

Brattle Square Florist - Beautiful graduation gift - Florists Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Some people were quite surprised when I told them I had a florist. Yes, I can get flowers that are just fine at the supermarket, a florist is when "just fine" isn't enough. I wanted to give a good friend a bouquet after a performance in my university's theater society. She's graduating, so I wanted something nice, one of those cases where "just fine" isn't enough. I also had two requests with the bouquet. First, I wanted it to match her favorite colors. The second request which I will allow to remain a mystery. Stephen asked me what my budget was, and then proceeded to walk through the shop assembling a bouquet. He put it together wonderfully, and asked if I was okay with it. He also wrapped it up with water so that the flowers would stay alive until the performance, which was awesome! Yes, their prices are high, but there is a reason for this. Every day they go out and get the best, freshest flowers they can. Quality costs money! My only criticism is that there were some white flowers in my bouquet which got hidden below the other flowers, but I am sure when the flowers go in a vase, this won't be an issue. read more
