Date: 12/11/2024 I walked by City Bloom Florist on my way to the post office in the Federal Building. Sad to say, and I don't know when, this business closed. I love their floral arrangements and the owners were very nice people. read more

Walked in on a Tuesday morning to see if City Bloom Florist could make an arrangement the same day. I found out my coworker's sister had passed away and wanted to give her sympathy flowers. The owner, Dan, seemed to be really busy with orders but was extremely kind and helpful! I said I could come back in a few hours since I was asking for a same day arrangement, but he said he didn't want me to have to wait, because he had to leave the store later to deliver some flowers. What a nice guy! In less than 30 minutes he had a beautiful arrangement made in my requested price range! I will definitely support this business again and I recommend you do, too! read more

If you are looking for impressive and beautiful flower arrangements, this is the place. Our office has been blessed with gorgeous flowers and all have been from here!

City Bloom Florist in Civic Center Plaza is obviously a florist but it looked different from the usual floral stands. they had trinket or ornaments of sorts on display. there's also greeting cards that could accompany the cards. i just glanced from the outside, not going in to touch anything, a dog on a lease came out to greet me. with just a sniff, he /she judged me acceptable and went back to lay down in her resting place. all done without a sound. the pics of floral on the website looked dazzling. while i'm not a fan of buying flowers. (neither is my SO, she's content with green paper instead) city bloom is definitely a go to place. i got it's prescene stored in my memory. read more

I work around the corner and I discovered a beloved coworker had a major loss in his family. That same morning, despite diligently working on another arrangement as he was just opening, Dan committed to making me a beautiful, thoughtfully designed arrangement (it will get even more beautiful as the flowers bloom) within an hour. Not suggesting folks expect this quick turnaround, but I'm grateful he was able to do it for me. Thanks, Dan! read more

I walk by this place every single day on my way to the gym but I finally decided to stop by today to buy a list minute gift for my mother.

There are so many place you can get flowers - but only one place like this! Dan is so talented- and truly loves what he does. He's creative, kind, helpful, and is so customer-oriented that doing the special bit of "extra" comes as naturally as breathing. I was in a wedding where he did the flowers and though I was not the bride - I felt like the star because my flower crown was stunning in its own unique way. I hope you are lucky enough to work with Dan on your special occasions - he's just the best in the Bay Area!!! read more

The florists were so nice and accommodating, willing to work in my price point, and worked quickly. Fairly expensive, but for a same day arrangement, well worth it. Had lots of different colors and types to choose from. read more

It's a rare florist that creates arrangements that become more beautiful as the days go on; Dan at City Bloom is exactly that floral artist. I was the lucky recipient of 2 stunning arrangments earlier this week and not only were they gorgeous from the start but they have become even better over the last few days as more blooms have opened. They also smell amazing! I also received a plant from City Bloom and it's so lovely - a fantastic long-term addition to my office. In addition to the beautiful plant, the pot it arrived in is very cool! Highly recommend!! read more

This place is top of the line. I've ordered from city bloom a number of times (deliver to my mom who knows and appreciates flowers more than anyone I know.

This is a long overdue review of an awesome small business. I walk by their shop frequently and admire their lovely arrangements. A few months ago, I got flowers for my co-worker's birthday. I dropped in without an appointment in the early morning and requested a special arrangement. However, I'm on a budget and spending a huge amount on flowers didn't appeal to me. I told the florist, who was very nice, to use about $20 worth of flowers. He asked if I wanted any flowers with scents and I said no, since they will be in an office setting. How thoughtful! I also mentioned my co-worker will be taking the BART back home and he made the arrangement shorter and even packaged the whole thing in a nifty paper wrapped box! When he finished, he asked if it was okay or if I wanted to add more flowers for an additional cost. It only took a few minutes and it really was beautiful. My co-worker, who spends money on flowers even if she doesn't have money for food, absolutely loved it. The design was colorful and the flowers were quite unique...not the typical stuff from the supermarket. My photo in our awful fluorescent lighting doesn't do it justice. Highly recommended! read more

City Bloom Florist - Custom made bouquet with unique flowers. There's a small vase inside. It's packed "to go". - Florists Near Me - San Leandro, California

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience with this florist. The flowers died the next day and when I called to let them know, they were unapologetic. Instead they blamed me for not enough water in the vase and the stems being improperly cut. BUT I BOUGHT THE FLOWERS ALREADY CUT AND IN WATER! She also told me I should not have the flowers in front of a window. Lol. In the end she offered "a couple Lillie's". Poor customer service and a bad product. The pics are from the next day and the day we threw them away. read more

A charming flower shop tucked inside the plaza at City Center. Lots of lovely gifts including cards, candles, notebooks, lotions in addition to the lush, beautiful plants and flowers on display. I stopped by a few weeks ago and put in an order for a small hand-held bouquet for my mother's wedding. Dan worked flexibly with my budget and created a breath-taking bouquet in just the right colors. The flowers were high-quality, fresh buds that bloomed slowly throughout her special day. She loved it. Wonderful job, Dan! read more

City Bloom is the nicest florist in the immediate area and they do excellent work. The owner/head florist is one of those people that you can tell what you have in mind and then he can quickly put it together. The staff are professional and courteous. As far as prices are concerned, they seem on par for with any other nice shop located in a central business district; in other words, they are not inexpensive but they are not overpriced either. I think they are the go-to florist for many business located near the City Center area. read more

"I live in Atlanta and ordered a Premium Tres Chic for a loved one who lives in Oakland. I ordered the Tres Chic specifically for it having Birds of Paradise in photos and description. Unfortunately there were no Birds of paradise in it at all!" Update: Dan reached out to me personally and I must say He made sure to do everything in his power to make sure the recipient was happy. It was out of Dan's power that there were no Birds of Paradise for him to fulfill order, so he made a judgment call(a good one) and got it out! I will be using City Bloom in the future!! read more

City Bloom is first class, top notch florist you will ever find. If you are looking for wonderful customer service and beautiful floral arrangements, look no further - this is THE PLACE! Dan is great to work with and extremely helpful especially when you're not sure what kind of arrangement to send to that special person or someone in need of cheering up - he can help you! Beautiful and creative arrangements always, with a warm smile and friendly service. My company has used City Bloom since as far back as I can remember, I believe it was year 2000 when I met Dan and his team. Everyone in my company knows Dan and his work, he is more like family then just someone we do business with. Thank you, Dan from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me and my company. Will be calling you soon as I have a birthday coming up in October. read more

I popped in at the extremely last minute and requested two arrangements for a lunch meeting. Dan had them completed within a half hour at my budget. They were beautiful! read more

I usually love to decorate with floral arrangements and give my friends lovely flower arrangements for their birthdays, since I love gardening and nature. I came across City Bloom when a gorgeous arrangement was delivered to my place of employment. I can call them and have an arrangement made within the hour and it is truly a beautiful piece of art. They are now my goto place for my floral arrangements. Parking is difficult in Oakland so call them before you pick up your arrangement and they will bring it to you curbside. What a plus!!! Love their beautiful artistry in floral arrangements. read more

First time doing business with this shop, and even though they were pretty crowded on a busy Valentines Day, I received excellent service. It was a really nice experience, it was obvious that I had no idea what to get, but the lady was super patient and extremely helpful with her suggestions and no pressure approach. They did an amazing bouquet in a really quick turnaround. I will definitely come here again for flowers. Oh, and whom ever made their in shop truffles... holy crap they were amazing!! read more

The flower arrangements from City Bloom are absolutely stunning! Anyone looking to truly honor someone for any occasion should go there for a truly unique arrangement. They prices are reasonable and they are a great addition to Downtown Oakland! I am so thrilled that my husband found them! (that makes me the lucky one!) read more

I bought my wife some anniversary flowers. I had the person put something together and trusted them on the design. The flowers weren't that great.

City Bloom Florist - STUNNING candle gift wrapping!! Dan was so nice! Thank you for making my friends gift so lovely! - Florists Near Me - San Leandro, California

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!! They are honestly the most amazing florists I have ever known. Not only do they have great product, but they understand exactly what you are looking for (even when you don't know what you are looking for). I have gotten many flowers from them and am always amazed at the quality and creativity. They also happen to be wonderful and sincere people. They always remember me by name, remember what I like and what I don't, and genuinely care about their customers. When I got my mother a surprise bouquet from them, she decided to start surprising me with City Bloom bouquets. The first time she called them, they remembered me and knew exactly what to prepare. They designed a wonderful and extraordinarily fragrant bouquet for my birthday. Not only was the bouquet amazing....but they also personally came and sang me Happy Birthday per my mother's request. (thanks for making me turn bright red in the office mom:)!) Recently, I was surprised with a bouquet that was the most radiant I have ever seen. Everyone who saw it stopped to comment...on the bus, in the elevator, on the street...the thing was amazing! The colors were so unique and fresh. To top it all off, they are still blooming a week later!!! They continue to impress me.....going above and beyond every single time. I also really enjoy myself in their company which makes buying flowers even more of a treat:) Thank you CITY BLOOM!!!! I'll definitely be back for more. read more

First, the arrangements here are amazing. When I went in, there were many modern arrangements that had much more finesse and style than your average grocery store bouquet, as well as some well-executed, simpler bouquets. They have an eye for color, here, with harmonious palettes and the good sense not to throw the kitchen sink at every vase. I normally find bright colors ugly, but I'd rate City Bloom's bright bouquets as not for me, but still very attractive, which is saying something. I picked up a bouquet for my assistant at 5:15 pm (just 15 minutes before closing) the day before Administrative Assistant's Day. Since I'd left it to the last minute, I had to pick something ready-made and on my budget of $25 or so. They had a few nice options, and I picked one, a $15 arrangement, and at my request, they "beefed it up" a little for another $10. I don't normally go in for flowers (amputated sex organs, anyone?) but I actually quite like these. I couldn't name all of what's in it, but it does have a lovely, subdued scent that is pleasant, rather than eye-watering. Word of advice: the arrangements on the website seem more routine than the ones I saw in the shop. If you have a chance, go to the storefront and pick out something in person. The employees are fun, get my sense of humor, and act like real people instead of customer-service automatons which get unplugged at the end of the day. read more

I'm very happy to support this local business. If your idea of a floral arrangement is roses and baby's breath, get ready to be blown away! The stock Teleflora offerings on their website do them no justice. CityBloom really excels in making unique arrangements with greens and flowers that you won't see in any catalog. I used them for two occasions where I wanted to impress (boyfriend's mother's birthday, and my own mother's birthday) and one occasion where I wanted to be impressed (bookmarked their website in my boyfriend's browser for my birthday). They create really wonderful arrangements with very little direction. ("Uh, it's for a birthday - I'm thinking $50, and maybe pink, or orange, or... you know... whatever.") It just looks so much more thoughtful and interesting than a mass-produced catalog arrangement. One word of non-praise: I don't think the $12+ chocolate add-on is worth it. I ended up with 4 bars of assorted Toblerones - I love nougat as much as the next person, but it didn't quite compliment the beauty of the arrangement. Either add that extra $ into the arrangement or just leave it as it is. Trust me, the flowers speak for themselves! read more

Gorgeous arrangements with unique combinations of flowers. They have pre-made arrangements as well as some made on the fly with some or no direction. I have always been awed and impressed with the final product. A tad on the pricy side but totally worth it. read more

One of my favorite places to buy flowers for my lady. Check out the website for ideas or just call in an order and they'll make something great within your budget. You can pick them up or have them delivered. Their arrangements are always an impressive presentation and their customer service is top notch. Highly recommended!!! read more

Highly disappointed with the arrangement received. Purchased my arrangement on your website, paid over $60 for the rose medley, as I perceived it by the picture shown of the arrangement. For this arrangement to be delivered today to my girlfriend on her birthday with a total of 6 roses. Won't be using your services again. Rip off read more

I discovered City Bloom through a promotion that they ran on TownHog.com ($25 for $50 Worth of Floral Arrangements). It was a great offer and just in time for Mother's Day, so I figured I would try it out. The shop is centrally located in Oakland City Center and is very charming. The owners are equally charming and very helpful. The arrangement that was put together for me was beautiful, colorful and very professionally done. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for great friendly service and beautiful floral arrangements. Thanks TownHog and City Bloom! read more

Lazy me, I like to do stuff on the internet if I can. And today I was in the mood to try something different than 1-800-flowers.com..........so I Googled for a florist in Oakland for a birthday on Friday............... www.citybloom.com Reasonably priced, but to be honest, it took me awhile to find an arrangement that I felt was what I wanted for my best friend, and didn't look that cheesy. The arrangements on the site weren't the most stunning that I have seen or at all original. As my friend Marlino used to tell me, "make it POP". But in this case, it took awhile to find anything that "POPPED". But eventually I found one that fit and I ordered it! Easy to navigate site, and that made me happy. Not having to deal with people on the phone, makes me even happier. Now if they deliver it without any problems I'll be sold. read more

Earlier today, my home girl Erin and I stopped in to purchase a birthday bouquet for her boss. The lady inside greeted us with a smile and was super helpful. She first inquired about how much Erin was willing to spend, and then made great suggestions for what the arrangement should contain. As a gentlemen in the back worked meticulously with the floral selection, Erin and I had time to shoot the shit with the other 2 employees. The bouquet turned out fantastic! Excellent, friendly and genuine customer service. City Bloom Inc. reminded me that no matter how convenient, cheap, and efficient corporations with online services can be (not mentioning any 1-800-NAMES.com here), they'll always lack the undeniable charm small "mom & pop" stores flaunt in abundance. read more

Won't be ordering from you ever again. They called me to tell me after I placed an order that "they had no idea how I got the price I did on flowers." As if I made the price up...If I was quoted a price, paid for the flowers, and then you cancel them because you think the price is too low is poor business. I've only ever ordered from you because I've loved your arrangements. I was literally dumbfounded that I was speechless. I'll let all my fellow family, friends, yelpers, and coworkers know to never order from you again. Poor business on your part. read more

I'm in LA, my sister is in the hospital in Oakland. I can't be with her but I want everyone to know she is loved. Thanks to yelp I find City Bloom.

The bouquet was extraordinary for the price. Will definitely be using them again. read more
