I spoke with several places but felt that Aileen from Aloha leis was professional and reached out as soon as she could. The mala garlands turned out beautiful and my friend was very happy and her son said they were beautiful and the fragrance was wonderful. I compared prices with other places on line and it seemed to be around the same price range. The delivery was personal and was delivered with care. I will look to her when there are other special occasions!!

My friends and us were looking for a place to hang out around the area and came across this really…read morenice public market in Emeryville. We initially didn't know there was free parking in a nearby parking structure until our friends told us, but luckily we found free street parking around the area for two hours. First impression walking in was how clean the whole place felt. I also liked that there were so many different vendors and cuisines for us all to choose from. Whether you're craving Korean Food, Japanese Food, Peruvian Food, American BBQ, Burgers, or pretty much anything else, you'll probably find something here. Honestly, a lot of the vendors caught my attention because what they offered looked really good. We also spotted a cashew based ice cream shop, which was perfect for dessert after our meal. I also liked how everything was indoors too, especially since it keeps people sheltered from the weather on hot days. Another thing I appreciated was the amount of tables and seating made available. It didn't feel stressful trying to find a place to sit, and we were here on a Sunday. As we walked through the market, I thought the layout was designed really well. The way everything was set up made the place feel a lot bigger and more spacious than it actually was. I thought that was pretty smart. I'd definitely come back to this public market again next time I'm in the area.

Just to comment on one aspect of this place, I found their Tuesday trivia to be a multi-dimensional…read moredisappointment. First off, the company behind it, Brainstormer, seems to ask the most weird and obscure questions of all the quiz chains -- think museums in Madrid, or Slovenian bikers -- as if they want you to fail. Scores were pretty low across the board. It was a constant struggle to hear anything the host was saying, largely because he insisted on wearing a mask. He also had a somewhat curt, unfriendly demeanor. Brainstormer was probably the best a decade ago, but something seems to have gone wrong with them along the way. Whoever's in charge of events should consider switching to Head Games, Geeks Who Drink, Live Event, or Pub Trivia Nerds.

I immediately got to grabbing all my favorite flowers. I definitely looked like a deer in some headlights while browsing. I havent been to a flower mart in years.
