From the phone call to the delivery - best service, and selection of flowers. I asked what I was looking for and what I wanted to pay and they did the rest. For the size of bouquet and assortment, you cannot beat the value. I paid a total of $100 for this huge bouquet and delivery! Thank You for the delivery of our 10-yr anniversary flowers to my Wife! read more

I called GEM flowers to order a flower arrangement to be delivered for a friend's birthday. Lonnie was super helpful. I gave him my budget and he was honest in what he could do (even said he could do more flowers for the price at this time of year). Everything was completed over the phone and he texted me a picture of my receipt. The next day, he texted me photos of the completed arrangement and delivery confirmation to my friend's front door. The flower arrangement was so colorful and beautifully made! My friend LOVED the flower arrangement and said it was super special! And her parents were flower shop owners so that says a lot! Thank you Lonnie and team! Moving forward GEM Flowers will be my go-to florist for all my flowers needs in this area! read more

Gem Florist is by far the best Florist I have ever ordered from. Owners Lonnie & Gloria are a delight to work with. I always request particular flowers and colors and they work hard to deliver that. Gloria shops for flowers just before making the arrangements so they are the freshest.The arrangements that I have had delivered to a family member are absolutely the most gorgeous and fresh flowers I have ever experienced. This is the second time I have ordered from them and they will always be my go to Florist in California. read more

From the East Coast and found this "GEM" through a web search.

I came here in a pinch. I had thirty minutes before my wife's white coat ceremony and she made me the perfect bouquet! She let me pick all the flowers and gave me great suggestions.

Wow! I literally waited until the day before to send birthday flowers to my daughters work (time got away from me!). My expectations were low that it was going to happen. To my delightful surprise, Lonnie put the most beautiful arrangement together and hand delivered it to her the next morning! I ordered the flowers unseen too (I live 3 hours away). Very professional business! He and his wife made our celebration extra special! read more

The hype is real. This is an overdue review. I live in NYC and my MIL ended up in the hospital (in San Marcos) on Christmas Eve. The hospital didn't have a florist so I started a search for a highly reviewed one nearby--I 1000% found the right place. First of all, it was Christmas Eve. When I called, Lonnie was at church (I believe about to sing in the choir). So I am saying he actually answered and took the order on Christmas Eve. He asked important questions I wouldn't think to ask (like would she be staying long--this made a difference on what they put the flowers in for easy transport home--so thoughtful!!!). I gave him an idea of what I wanted and how much I wanted to spend and said I trust you based on the reviews--and I was right! His wife Lori created a beautiful boquet, and they delivered it to my MIL's hospital room within a few hours. Beautiful work and the best customer service. 10 stars, highly recommended! read more

I had a tight budget but wanted a "thank you" bouquet for a great former employer. Besides working within my budget, Gloria made great suggestions and Lonnie gave me an EXCELLENT price on delivery, I couldn't believe it! The bouquet was perfect because my former employers have this amazing pup and, get this, Gloria was able to find a flower color THAT NEARLY MATCHED THE DOG (the dog is a beautiful boxer mix, tan and white with a pink tint). And at my price point. Everything was so perfect. I may not have much of a budget for flowers but this will be my go to for that from now on. As someone else mentioned in another review, yes, the hype is VERY real. read more

This florist is nothing short of spectacular, no need to go anywhere else. I'm so glad I found them on Yelp. Today was one of my dearest friend's birthday. I was sick this week and assumed she would be doing something for her birthday. We have a lot in common, one thing is our love for orchids. She used to work in the industry. She's had a hard time lately. So I decided to send her an orchid and started plowing through the reviews of different florists. It was also very last minute. Gem flowers was my first pick and I called them and talked to Lonnie who was great and went so much beyond what I expected. The gorgeous orchid was delivered on time. My friend was outside in front of her home when Lonnie arrived. He got out with the orchid and asked her if it was okay if he parked there. She said "Yes, if you bring me an orchid like that". Then she realized the orchid was for her! Lonnie sent me a photo of my friend with the prettiest white orchid I've ever seen. It had large flowers, like 6 of them and more buds. It was tall, with thick leaves and very healthy looking. My friend called me immediately, crying. She told me about Lonnie pulling up and she had no idea the orchid was for her. It made her whole day which up to then was rather bleak. I would attach a photo, but she hadn't done her hair, had on a sweatshirt and camo pants. This place is the real deal, budget friendly with great service and beautiful flowers. I promise, you won't be disappointed. read more

I needed a sympathy arrangement on short notice, spoke to Lonnie and he exceeded expectations with his friendliness, help, and professionalism.

I received a short video of the arrangement from the shop, and Lonnie sent me a text during delivery. They provided exceptionally good turnaround time from start to finish. What can I say, it's my new place to go. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I called them at 10am needing flowers for that evening--ones that would be good for a first anniversary (carnations). I called and spoke to a gentleman who told me that they could either take my payment information over the phone, or if I wanted I could go into the florist shop and they would make it however I wanted. I decided to go to the florist, and I am so glad that I did. The woman was incredibly friendly and made the most beautiful bouquet while I waited. She was even able to incorporate our wedding flower in the middle. I can't say enough nice things about this bouquet. It was also reasonably priced. My wife will get the flowers tonight, and I'm sure she'll love them. I highly recommend this place and I WILL be coming back. Thank you! read more

Excellent customer service, amazing communication, friendly price point and gorgeous flowers delivered in the timeframe promised. They even texted me a short video of the completed arrangement as well as a picture taken at the time of delivery! I extra appreciated this. This arrangement was a Birthday surprise for my Dad. He loves flowers but in his nearly 80 years of life, had never received a boutique of his own. He was absolutely delighted to receive this lovely gift!!! He's also colorblind so Gem worked to create a wonderful arrangement with many types of flowers with extra emphasis on the blues and yellows that he can perceive and appreciate most. Also, multiple buds were barely starting to bloom so the arrangement is sure to last a while. Gem is a great local shop that I'm happy to recommend. After many years ordering fabulous floral creations by the very talented florist Lily Banks, now retired, I'm delighted to have a new florist to patronize in San Marcos. read more

What gift do you give your 80 year old mother? Why flowers of course... my sister reached out to Lonnie at Gem Florist and asked if they would do a flower arrangement each month for a year, they set her up on a program where he delivers a beautiful bouquet of flowers every month, She lives in assisted living... Lonnie actually delivers it directly to her room and takes a picture of my mom and her smiling face ...so excited to get the flowers, he then sends the picture to my sister, so nice he goes that extra step! Shout out to Gloria for the beautiful flower arrangements she puts together each month!! They are always so colorful and really brightens my Mother's Day! We are so grateful to Gem Florists and highly recommend them!!! read more

My husband had surgery, and his sister in Texas sent him a floral arrangement through Gem Flowers. His sister requested a specific type of tropical bloom be included. First of all, the proprietors made a special trip to their supplier to get the special flower for her request. Then they created this absolutely STUNNING arrangement--one of the most beautiful I've ever seen with the very freshest, brightest flowers and leaves. And THEN, because we left the hospital earlier than expected, when the flowers arrived, we had already gone -- so they made an additional trip to my home to deliver the order. On top of all of this, the gentleman making the delivery called me to say he would be coming, then arrived at my home almost immediately afterward with such kindness and the sweetest demeanor. It can be so hard to know if a florist is going to work; you have to basically trust that what you order will be what is delivered, and there's no telling how the delivery-person will treat your order and your recipient. That said, if I could give Gem Flowers six or seven stars here, I would do it. I'm using them for every florist delivery I ever need from now on. Honest. read more

Ordered flowers that I picked up after work for my wife. They were beautiful and lasted a long time. I spent about $100 and was really impressed, so was my wife. I will go back and recommend them for sure. Nice people, too. read more
