    This top rose isn't even the worst but it definitely won't last much past tomorrow.

    The VAST majority of the good reviews are from years ago and mention someone totally different than the person I spoke to, Shanel, who is the new owner. Don't let the previous good reviews lure you in like they did me. Spoke w/ Shanel on 2/7 and asked if she would have rainbow roses and roselilies by V-Day. She said that would not be a problem. I had left my credit card at home so needed to call the next day. I called shortly after 10am on 2/8 and ordered. When confirming the rainbow roses Shanel mentioned roses that looked like they had the rainbow splattered on them. I said "if you can get the splattered version let's do that and then I for sure want roselilies; they look like stargazers but have multiple layers and I do not want star gazers. Shanel said she knew exactly what I was talking about. I told her price did NOT matter but I wanted a "wow" factor to the bouquet so how many stems of the rose lily would I need and she said 6. I said we can do more but she assured me it would look great with the filler and greens. On 2/13 I didn't know which version of the roses I was getting so I called to ask. The whole seller was only able to bring regular rainbow roses (these are more pastel rainbow than what I have gotten in the last - but whatever) so l said that's fine thank you. NO mention of not getting my roselillies. On 2/14 I go to pick-up my flowers and as soon as I saw them was disappointed. She's moved to Santee but I was picking up at the flower stand on Orange: What a disappointment and disaster. ZERO rose lilies and what is in it's place - star gazers!! The exact flower I said I did not want when trying to describe roselilies to make sure she was understanding what I wanted. I looked at the guy and it wasn't his fault, but I just said this isn't what I ordered. It was now after 12 and I had a 1pm appointment so I took the flowers - I couldn't have nothing - and tried calling. On the 3rd attempt someone answered - I told her this isn't what I ordered and gives the phone to Shanel. To sum up my conversation - Shanel this isn't what I ordered. I don't understand why you would give me star gazers? Shanel: The whole seller didn't have roselilies so we gave you "our best" star gazers. Me: Why would you give me star gazers instead of calling me and asking what replacement flower I would like? Shanel: Well what flower would you have wanted? Me: Not star gazers. This is a generic flower that I can get at Vons for like $5. I would have asked you for something less ordinary had you called and asked. Shanel: Well, you can go back to the stand and have him give you different flowers Me: He doesn't have any flowers left. Shanel: More flowers are coming in like 20-30 minutes. Me: I have a 1pm meeting and cannot wait for the flowers and then to have these redone. And I thought you said I would be happy with the filler. This purple stuff is a disaster. It's literally the worst filler flower of all of them. What do you have in store there? Shanel then said well I can refund you for the rose lilies and then proceeds to tell me that I am being rude - when all I did was call to tell her my order is wrong and I should have been notified once she realized she didn't get my custom order flower in. Or, I don't know, when I called the day before she could have told me then as an option? When I told her my review wouldn't be pleasant she said "go ahead it won't hurt us. The Coronado Flower Lady has been around for decades - that may be true but Florabella isn't her and Florabella shouldn't get the Goodwill of a company merely for having been previously affiliated. Apparently, telling her that the stargazers are a generic flower and the purple filler is a disaster that is found on the side of the road, justified her yelling at me, telling me she pays her designers $25 an hour (how is this my concern?) and then hanging up on me. While yelling at me she repeatedly said I said the arrangement was trash, which I did not, I said the purple flowers are a disaster. Because in my opinion they are. To me, this bouquet had zero wow factor that I asked for. But once Shanel started going off I couldn't even answer her question as to what she could do to remedy the situation - I would have gone to Santee after my 1pm appointment On top of that, the quality of the flowers is POOR. 3/12 roses were noticeably overly opened, they will likely die by tomorrow; NONE of the generic "best" stargazers are open. strongly suggest avoiding if you would like to work with a florist who actually communicates order changes instead of arbitrarily adjusting with the exact flower you didn't want.

    I looked on Yelp to find flower shops in San Diego, since I live in LA. I found the site and ordered online and the site was very easy to use. I also called to speak to someone, to get a bit more information and the lady was very sweet and helpful. I ordered the flowers (see picture) for my brothers wife, and everything looked wonderful however I didn't see any or as much orchids as I would've thought would be in the arrangement. The photo and description mentioned there would be orchids, and I didn't see them. I know that based off of what flowers you choose, the price varies. All in all, I was happy with them! Also, the delivery person was super nice and called me to inform me that he left them in the front because no one was home and just had a really great attitude over the phone!

    Fall Birthday bouquet for wifey
    Jonny I.

    For the past five years, Florabella has been my go-to spot when I really want to impress wifey. Today for her birthday I walked in to get a bouquet for her, greeted by Carol. She was so kind and helpful and made me feel very welcome. The florist Jen put together a beautiful, vibrant custom bouquet in the vase I brought. I asked if they have gift wrap or know where to get some close-by, and they generously offered to provide me some brown paper and ribbon to wrap the gift box. Not only that, but Carol helped me when she noticed my tacky wrapping skills! So nice! After about 10 minutes, I had my beautiful bouquet and wrapped gift, ready to go. This was my definitely my best trip to Florabella out of about eight or nine so far and it's time that I say that they are my favorite florist in town.

    Flowers for our 2nd anniversary.

    I've used Florabella twice. Each time it was a last-minute order that they filled quickly and efficiently. The flowers they selected were top quality and some rare. They made each occasion special and my husband was pleasantly surprised each time. It's obvious that Carol loves her business and cares a great deal about her customers and their needs. She sets a great example for other businesses to follow.

    Mothers day bouquet delivered to my moms house! (I live out of town)

    Incredibly beautiful flowers arranged and owned by the sweetest women! I'm all about supporting a local women owned business and it's easy to do with Florabella. The owners are killing it with gorgeous fresh flowers and prompt and professional service. Before you call a chain florist, check out Florabella!

    I was really pleased with the service Florabella offered me this past Thursday! I walked in, welcomed by the sweet atmosphere of the place and a woman who was willing to go through any lengths necessary to make me feel comfortable and accommodated for. The flowers were for my mother, who was arriving from Canada in less than an hour no less! Using a picture and a thank you card for reference, I had sorted out my flower choices (and a budget!) with the help of one of the employees! The employee helping me even offered a hand in picking out the perfect glass vase! Right after my transaction, the owner Jen had put herself to work and wow, that was nice. It sounded like she was working magic on my arrangement in the back. You could tell the store paid attention to detail just looking at Jen at work! From what I had overheard from a phone call the employee was on, the flowers were always fresh and of high quality. They're never an assortment of flowers that'd die the next day either. But again, WOW - the bouquet was, indeed, magical. Jen brought it to the counter herself, looking impressed with her own work! She talked to me a short bit and wished me a good day before I left, but wow, I was in awe with these flowers. This visit was my first experience with a florist (isn't it obvious?), but I'm pretty hooked. It looks like Florabella has a new customer on what seems like a never-ending list of satisfied customers. Thank you so much for the arrangement! My mom is in love with them and they're still in top condition! I'll definitely be back for more gifts and flowers of my own!

    I would like to thank Angela for her courtesy and professionalism. I have yet seen the arrangement I have ordered but pleased with her mannerism over the phone. My nephew's wife love the arrangement. They're stunning and love the choice of color and flowers

    The "Miss Sunshine" bouquet...
    Nathan K.

    Needed a last-minute floral arrangement for a VIP and Florabella did not disappoint. I was able to shop several of their arrangements, which were elegantly depicted on their website. The site was very easy to navigate and I was able to order directly online. On check out, you are able to provide delivery instructions and compose a note for the recipient. Very convenient. I set a very specific delivery window and they delivered in a timely fashion. The recipient's note was even hand written, a nice touch! The bouquet itself was pretty close to the one depicted in their original site listing. Smooth sailing throughout the transaction and delivery. Definitely recommend and will use again.

    Birthday Bouquet!

    I think I'm flower stupid. Hear me out okay? I remember back in the day, when I was a wee lad and I was trying to swoon on the ladies, I used to pick flowers from neighbor's yards to bring to them. Talk about trying to save lunch money! Then the next biggest thing was to go to a local grocery store and get my flowers there. Hit and miss, right? Then came evolution of the call and order 1-800 Flowers. To me, that was the most legit way to get flowers to someone STAT. Soon after, we have internet and you have Pro Flowers, company above and other vendors making it easy for you to order. Where this bothered me was it took the personal interaction with the florist completely out of the picture. Again, hit and miss. I've had some of the most beautiful flowers delivered and then I've had flowers that were about to kick the bucket or completely unsatisfactory in some other way. Guess what? I went back to to quick grocery store trips until very recently, with thanks to you Yelp reviewers and my trusty iPhone Yelp app, searched for the nearest florist from our apartment. Florabella ended up my first pick and the reviews looked promising. I ended up there today because my wife has been busting her ass at work and at home and working out like a beast. Our dog also decided to chew up some carpet today. Yeah, I needed something really nice. I was greeted immediately at the door and told her my situation. She asked the best question I didn't even think about telling her as soon as I got in there, which was, "How much are you looking at spending?" Basic, but man, did it make sense! I told her how much and she walked me to the back to check out their stock of fresh flowers in the fridge. You can tell walking around that this place was legit and people were busy filling orders as they come in or that they needed to get done. I told her I know she loves a fall theme, and she said it would only be 5-10 minutes. She introduced me to the girl that was going to take care of me, then walked me to the front to fill out my order. I walked up to the counter and filled out a small card, sat down at their table in front and as I was talking, BOOM, the flowers were right there on the table beside me. I was floored about how nice they looked! I completely believe the money I spent on them was well worth it and very unique. I left there with a huge smile and I can't wait till my wife walks through the door here to check them out. Thanks guys and I will be back, oh yes, I will be back! (Next time, a white old english D on dark blue baseball cap equals Detriot, not Boston. LOL)

    Amazing!

    Went with this florist due to yelp reviews. I could not be happier with there customer service and especially the flowers. Here is the text my girlfriend sent me: I just got ur flowers holly mother of god babe! Thank you so much for the great service and flowers.

    I called florabella with a budget, a color, and a same day delivery request. I had just received a call that my gramma was in the hospital and I wanted flowers delivered ASAP. I was still a little shocked at the severity of the emergency when I called in to place the order. The woman who answered the phone was wonderful. She helped me figure out what I wanted to send, helped with the card, and expressed a genuine concern for the situation. The flowers that arrived in the hospital a little later that day, GORGEOUS! I even received a text 2 Days later from a family member enquiring as to where the flowers were from. So to the ladies at Florabella, thank you! You have a new loyal customer.

    The bf came here for my Valentine's day flowers! I was so surprised at how beautifully arranged the bouquet was! I literally couldn't get over how lovely they were. I talked about them for a week. (: They were perfectly symmetrical. Whoever arranged them, def has a good eye! So creative and fun! JBH walked in, told the lady I liked lilies and the color purple. She had asked him how much he wanted to spend and so he told her (I have no idea how much). She then told him that she would need 30 minutes to put something together. He feared he would get ripped off since he had already paid her. But he was very glad that the bouquet came out amazing!!! Fellas come here for flowers for the girl!
