Dog on right comes out to check visitors
Victor G.

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.

Arrangement for the loss of a loved one

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!

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. City Bloom always go above and beyond with the look and quality of the bouquet design and they'll definitely be my go to moving forward every time!

Custom made bouquet with unique flowers. There's a small vase inside. It's packed "to go".

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!

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.

Thank you City Bloom for providing the perfect boutonnière and corsage for our sons prom. And on such notice!! We love you!!! We've used city bloom for many other family occasions including our wedding! You won't be disappointed!

Mom's bridal bouquet

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!

I stumbled on Dream Flowers here on Yelp after looking at many others, but ultimately decided on this one based on the designs, quality, Instagram posts, and reviews. I ordered online last year and asked for something elegant for a birthday. I didn't know what to expect as I chose up to the florist and whatever is in season. The recipient really liked her flowers and was thoroughly surprised. It lasted quite a while. I'm sure it looked more beautiful in person. I plan to order again this year.

A Tender Spring Masterpiece for the Most Important Person…read more I've been turning to Dream Flowers for several years now for special occasions, and every time Lana and her wonderful team exceed my expectations. This time, they created a breathtaking bouquet for my amazing wife's birthday. The bouquet turned out exactly as I had envisioned -- incredibly tender, spring-like, full of light and love. Soft pastel tones of white, cream, blush pink, pale yellow, and warm peach, with lush peonies, ranunculus, tulips, hydrangeas, and delicate greenery. It perfectly captured my wife's personality and the way I feel about her -- with warmth, admiration, and deep affection. When she saw it, her eyes literally lit up with joy! Lana is a true professional and a very insightful person. She always understands exactly what you need, even if you just say "something very soft and springy." She works only with the freshest and most interesting flowers, and her compositions are always unique and unlike anything else. These aren't just flowers -- they are true works of art. Thank you so much to Lana and the entire Dream Flowers team! You make special moments even more magical. I will definitely keep coming back again and again Oleg Dimov San Leandro, California

Update: Upon leaving my original review, the shop reached…read moreout to me via Yelp asking for my phone number to call and make things right. At that point in time I made peace with their response to my review and told them that we could move on. I thought that I could lay the matter to rest and focus on my family during this sad time. Four weeks after my dad's passing, I was beginning to open up again to the world, when I went to my in-laws' home. My MIL had a letter addressed to me; even she was perplexed. It was from Starr. In a gross violation of my privacy, Starr wrote me a handwritten letter using my in-laws' address from their order. In her letter Starr claimed that she did not have my information due to me declining to share it and so she used my in-laws' payment information to find her way to me. Her letter was one full page, front and back, of defending herself and telling me stories of how she is a truly exemplary employee, even staying behind at the store extra late for another order. This letter did two things: 1) it reopened my wounds from feeling like I was unseen and unheard in one of my truest moments of vulnerability and 2) showed me that she still had no awareness of the pain she had caused since she did not apologize and instead told me stories of how she treated other people better than me. I then reached back out to the manager via Yelp to ask for a phone number and good time to talk to discuss something. They told me to just call the store number and stopped responding when I asked for a good time to be sure to speak with the right person. I decided not to pursue the matter because, honestly, it hurt like hell having to deal with this on top of my grief. It has now been 3 months since my father passed, since this all started, and I tried to let it go, but I decided to write this update. Albeit delayed, I think people should know the way this matter was handled -- vindictively with self-interest and an outright disregard for the reason why people need their service in the first place. What an an absolute disgraceful display of professional conduct.

I was pretty nervous at first since I just texted her but didn't really get to see exact example of what I wanted. We discussed the color and the idea of what I wanted but it wasn't discussed until later down the line. I also followed up closer to the day of the wedding just to make sure everything is good, but Nancy reassured me everything will be good on the wedding day. My cousin actually went to pick up the flowers, so I never actually met or saw her, but Nancy - you're amazing! I was also worried since some florist requires you to order a certain amount of flowers/money to book with them. But Nancy was local and allowed me to order what I want. I am super satisfied and happy with her flowers, and she did an amazing job. I will return when I need to get custom flowers or highly recommend to anyone else needing floral arrangements for any events!

What actually arrived was an absolute joke. The arrangement was entirely lopsided. One entire side was completely bare of flowers, showing nothing but green filler. To make matters worse, it was missing some of the promised irises and arrived in a cheap clear vase with a blue ribbon instead of the actual blue vase I paid for. It didn't even meet the standards of their "Standard" tier, let alone the Premium. When I called to address this, the staff offered nothing but empty sympathy. They hid behind a strict "72-hour policy," completely dismissing the fact that I was traveling across time zones. Because I couldn't inspect the flowers the second they landed, they refused to offer a replacement, a partial refund, or any meaningful fix. They were perfectly happy to take my premium tier money, but completely uninterested in delivering a premium product or fixing their own blatant mistakes. If you want a florist that actually takes pride in their work and stands behind their service, especially for major holidays, look elsewhere. This place is a rip off.
