So very disappointed in this shop first of all, they don't carry any cut flowers whatsoever of any…read morekind they carry a ton of different kinds of plants and cactuses, but unfortunately I couldn't purchase anything because the girl that was there did not speak or understand any English whatsoever, so couldn't even sell me anything so I'm not really sure why they even had the store open in the first place. Very disappointing experience probably will not go back there again only because I was really looking for something to say thank you to a business here in Rosendale that was so nice to me today. Absolutely the stupidest experience. I've probably had this week.

We used Heidi for college graduation flowers. We scheduled for a drop off at our hotel at 8 am,…read morewhich was really kind of Heidi to begin with, but when we learned that we really needed to depart the hotel at 7 am, she happily arrived at 6:55 with beautiful flowers.

A zero would be too high of a rating but unfortunately one star is the lowest rating possible…read more The owner is rude, unprofessional and unkind. This makes the flowers irrelevant. I try to support local, small businesses. I have purchased many flowers from this shop over the years. Most were online with delivery. Thankfully any of the times I was in the shop I had minimal interactions with the owner. I recently called the shop and spoke with Heidi to order an arrangement for my brother in-law's burial. I explained that this was especially difficult as he was killed in an accident. We decided on an arrangement, a price and a day/time that I would pick them up. When I arrived for pick-up the flowers were more expensive than the price we discussed. No explanation was given and when I asked about it she said it was because she used more roses. I think that any consumer would agree that a business should never change an invoice without notifying the customer. It doesn't matter if it is for $15 or $500. There was a price and it was agreed upon. If she wanted to change things, she needed to check with me first Her response was unprofessional and unkind. "You am never happy" and went off about the flowers, etc. I did complain ONCE about a delivery that was VERY small and skimpy compared to the photo and the price. What she said was untrue and uncalled for. When I told her that I could not have this conversation with her on this specific day as I was going to a funeral (which she knew) and to please just run my credit card, she did not stop. I had to ask her again to please stop talking and to just run my credit card. The icing on the cake was that my credit card was charged TWICE for this arrangement, which was several hundred dollars. That was an ordeal itself to get it corrected. I will NEVER purchase flowers from this business again. I hope whatever satisfaction she got from being so unkind to me on such a difficult day was worth it.

I was planning my Boston wedding from San Francisco and was completely lost in my florist search…read more My wedding photographer recommended Hanaya Floral. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous selecting Hiroko after a few email exchanges but my gut told me Hiroko wasn't like any other florist. During our in-person consultation, Hiroko took the time to understand my preferences and to explain her artistic interpretation via sketches. I kick myself now for not asking to keep her sketches; they were works of art! My expectations after the consultation were high but Hiroko took my breath away when I saw my wedding bouquet and arrangements. If only I lived closer to Hanaya Floral, I would order arrangements on a regular basis. Thanks again Hiroko, working with you was a highlight of my wedding planning.

THIS IS THE BEST, MOST ARTISTIC FLORIST EVER!!! There I have said it. The owner trained in Japan…read moreand Paris. Her work is award winning. Cost moderate to expensive, but not as expensive as lots of other less talented florists. Value nearly priceless. First ordered a flower arrangement including delivery that was $75 +for my daughter who was celebrating something special. I found Hanaya Floral on the Net and chose her because her website showed amazingly creative and original work. The woman I spoke with ( owner?) listened to my description of my daughter and where she was in her life. We agreed on a price and Hanaya Floral did all the rest. The arrangement was beautiful and perfect for the occasion. When it dried, my daughter kept it. When my daughter was given the responsibility of getting flowers for a work reason, she recommended Hanaya Floral. They could do a much better job for the budgeted price. I do not live near this florist, but I asked her help when a dear friend was terminally ill and I wanted to send a very special arrangement. My friend and her husband were NYC sophisticated with artistic sensibilities. Hanaya Floral discussed an arrangement with a local to the patient florist who delivered an awesome arrangement. When my spouse and I were in Cambridge we stopped by Hanaya Floral in person. The owner is a gentle soul and made us feel welcome even though we were not shopping for an arrangement at that time. Not convinced? Look at the Hanaya Floral website arrangements. If you like what you see there you will love Hanaya Floral.

The bouquet was great -- good variety, good selection, good quality, and a pretty good value for the money. (Certainly better than what I'd get using a 3rd party service like FTD.) Not much else to say, except the woman was very nice over the phone, and she was able to take direction from a guy who doesn't know much about flowers very well. I'd certainly use them again.

I submitted an inquiry online at around 7 am and the owner Ron replied right away to say he is able and can even deliver the same day! So, I called him and we discussed the flowers and in the afternoon my friend texted me the picture of the beautiful arrangement she received. Needless to say all parties were happy and I can't thank Ron enough for the great job he did. In my opinion he sets the bar high for what a business should do to be competitive in his field. He clearly takes pride in doing the best for the customer - provide fast response, great products and great customer service. For these reasons, I highly recommend him to anyone who wants flowers for any occasions.
