My son purchased flowers for his girlfriend to ask her to be his valentine to be delivered on February 9th. Not only did they NOT deliver the flowers on the 9th, but he received no call, no email or text stating that they would not be delivering them on the day he chose for them to be delivered. His girlfriend was going out of town the next day, so the 9th was the only day to be delivered where she could receive them. Regardless, he chose a delivery date and they did not deliver them. The next morning, she had already left for out of town and he was notified by her roommate that the flowers were delivered the NEXT DAY. Still, no phone call, no email or heads up that they were not delivered on the day he chose but took it upon themselves to deliver it when they felt like it. Completely unprofessional! Do NOT BUY FLOWERS FROM THEM! UPDATE: I called and spoke with the young girl who said she delivered them herself. She said that she delivered them at 8pm that night, but that she forgot to deliver them and went home and "did her thing" and then delivered them, although his girlfriend was home during that time and did not see them, so we know she delivered them on her way to work the next morning and tried to cover for herself. Either way, the flowers were left in her car all night long. Also, the flowers look nothing like the photo and my 9 year old could have done a better job. read more

Goleta Floral - What he ordered... - Florists Near Me - Goleta, California

See all

My new daughter-in-law just had a birthday. Work was busy and in the afternoon I called to order her some flowers. The friendly voice at the other end took my order, and when I asked when it would be delivered, I was told the next day because the driver was leaving for the day. I asked if there was any way to deliver it that day as it was her actual birthday, and the first as my daughter-in-law. The woman said that someone could deliver it because some employees would go in that direction to go home. The flowers were indeed delivered. I can only say, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart." My new DIL has had some big trials recently, and this kind act meant the world to her and to me. You rarely find customer service like this these day.s. Please give them your business! Here is a photo of the beautiful arrangement. read more

My niece was having flowers delivered for my birthday and I needed to reschedule. Called Goleta Floral after hours and left a message, which concerned me. But! A warm and friendly woman called the next morning and said they had heard the message and delivery was rescheduled. The arrangement was lovely. This is the 3rd time I've received flowers from Goleta Floral and every one has been just beautiful. Marguerite read more

I have lived in Goleta since the 70s and been with my husband since 1978. He sends me flowers for every occasion because I love them and he doesn't know what else to give me. He has used many disappointing floral services in the area over the years but has finally landed on this wonderful little shop. I have never once been disappointed in the flowers from here over the past 3-4 years. The arrangements use an abundance and variety of flowers at different points of bloom and most importantly, last a really long time (assuming you change the water daily and cut stems every couple of days). The delivery is always nice and the flowers have lots of water in them on delivery. So happy to have this place in our little town. read more

This is the place for a quality local floral arrangement. It's 2021 and most everyone buys their bouquets online. Whether it's for a particular occasion or just because, there are so many convenient options available from the Internet. Typically, these online companies will partner with local florists in the vicinity of the recipient. Goleta Floral is one of those partner spots. I've both received and sent online bouquet orders fulfilled by Goleta Floral and must say that my expectations were surpassed each time. It's evident that they take pride and care into consideration when building out their arrangements. The end result is always remarkable, with prompt and professional hand-delivery as well as a bouquet that looks just beautiful. The business has a longtime storefront location in Old Town Goleta and you can walk right in in lieu of online ordering. If you are looking for a quality arrangement, look no further. read more

Thank you for doing an amazing job with our "tropical wedding" theme. Very creative and reasonable.

The woman who helped me was super kind and had no problems getting me exactly what I wanted with the budget I requested. The bouquet is absolutely beautiful and I know my fiancé is gonna love it!! Highly recommend this place for any flower needs! Will definitely be returning. read more

I'm so disappointed. I sent my best friend a beautiful deluxe version of the "pretty please" bouquet on their website and was incredibly embarrassed. I could have picked the bouquet of weeds by myself for much, much less. read more

Oh boy, where do I begin! This place needs to go away or perhaps get someone in there that knows what the heck they are doing! Sending flowers is not cheap so when you make that call, the least they can do is get it RIGHT! And when they don't, they simple don't respond. Rude, unprofessional place so do yourself a favor, AVOID! Would you pay $70 for a large beautiful boutique of flowers, we did....BUT what was delivered was a joke. To boot, the message card was suppose to say "Love, Mom, Dad, and Brothers". What was delivered was "Love, Mom and Brothers". Our daughter called asking if dad was still around. Good grief, something so simple to mess up, no apology - NOTHING! Save $ and stay away from this place! read more

My wife's birthday was back in March. She lives in SB and I live in LA I called Goleta floral to send her flowers and chocolates. The girl that answered the phone was super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the delivery was scheduled for the day that UCSB shut for covid 19 pandemic. I called in to the shop and explained my situation. When I was done explaining they asked would I like it delivered to another address I said I live in LA they laughed and said don't worry we will issue a full refund. I didn't even have to ask. This is amazing customer service and I will for sure be using them from now on for my flower needs in the SB area. read more

Flowers that arrived for my aunt were nice but they were NOT what I ordered and paid $85.00 for. Will not be using this florist again!

This place is great do not believe any negative reviews. They are very cost effective, have a great selection, and are super accommodating. I highly recommend. read more

I got a vase of flowers yesterday from my office and the flowers were mostly dead. It's only been 12 hours since I go them

This Floral shop does NOT even deserve ONE star. They deserve NEGATIVE stars for their service and product(s). Firstly my boyfriend bought me flowers and chocolate for our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. He lives in New York, so he wanted to surprise me. When I received the flowers and chocolates, I was taken aback because I didn't expect anything. I was so happy, until I opened up the chocolates. The first chocolate I bit into was STALE. It was suppose to be a "peanut butter crunch" but it was more like a "so-stale-i'm-going-to-break-your-teeth" type of chocolate. I swear I couldn't even BITE into it. I wasn't sure if it was just that one, so just to confirm I bit into another, and the other chocolate was WHITE because it was SOOOO old. I told my boyfriend, and he called them immediately to let them know the issue with the chocolates. The woman on the phone apologized and said that was very odd because "they receive new chocolate shipments everyday." She then said she would send over a brand new one that just came in. However, when I received the chocolate, it was not the same one. It was about 1/3 of the size, and a much cheaper brand. I looked it up and you could buy it for $3.50 at Walmart. I was livid. My boyfriend paid 18 dollars for a NICE box of chocolates, and THAT was what I received. We called back to complain, and they told us they would issue a full refund within the next 1-3 days. On the 3rd day there was NO refund to be seen. We called back to ask about the issue, and they told him that he now needs to call this other number (I'm assuming the larger corporate office) which was located in New York. The first man he talked to (Jeff) told him that he would transfer him to another caller. My bf and I waited for 20 minutes before he was disconnected. He then called back telling them that he was disconnected, and they transferred him again. After a 10 minute wait, an automatic message said "Sorry, are server is too busy at the moment, please make an appointment to talk to someone later." He literally waited 30 minutes just to have to make an appointment to talk to someone - WHICH WAS RIDICULOUS. 2 hours later, someone finally called him. He explained the entire issue, and they took back their statement of giving a full refund. The lady on the phone said "we will give you NINE dollars back" which is absolutely absurd. He ordered the nice version of the chocolates, received some walmart version, and then was expected to pay 2.5 times the value of what it would've cost to just buy and ship it to me. He then asked to talk to the manager, and now we are in the process of waiting AGAIN. SO HERE IS THE RUN DOWN: He paid 18 dollars for some moldy, stale chocolate. Asked to send a NEW box. Received some 3.50 WALMART crap. WAS TOLD HE WOULD GET A REFUND. DIDN'T. HAD TO GO THROUGH OVER 2 HOURS OF WAITING ON THE PHONE JUST TO GET HIS REFUND WHICH THEY ALREADY TOLD HIM HE WOULD GET. THEN WAS DENIED THAT REFUND. read more

I'm honestly not sure why there are bad reviews on here. With very little notice, I walked into Goleta Floral and quickly set up flowers for an entire wedding. Their service, quality of product, and prices were amazing! I'm extremely happy with everything. Thank you! read more

My parents were celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary at the Belmont El Encanto on a Sunday. I called Goleta Floral on Friday at 5pm and requested they make a centerpiece that was a recreation of my Mom's wedding boquet to be delivered the next day. They were extremely accommodating and everything went as planned. The centerpiece was PERFECT and everything I had hoped for. I had it put on the table when they had brunch on Sunday and it made my Mom cry. She recognized it immediately. Thank you so much for helping me make that happen. Plus it has been a week now and the flowers still look beautiful! read more

Goleta Floral - Perfect recreation of my Mom's wedding boquet from 35 years ago! - Florists Near Me - Goleta, California

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this florist. I was saddened at the results of their bouquet for my mother-in-law's birthday. I hope that they aim for better quality and aesthetic in their work. Florists are highly respected artists....and I really don't think they know what their doing. read more

Yesterday was my father's memorial service at 10:00 am. I had ordered two large "sprays" and a table-top arrangement (approx. $450) to be delivered to the church by 9:30 am. At 9:50 am we were trying to get ahold of someone at Goleta Floral to find out why no flowers had been delivered yet, as all of the guests where in their seats waiting for the service to start. As the service was ready to begin, a van pulled up to the church with the flowers. Today, I called the florist and expressed my dissatisfaction with their service. They seemed genuinely apologetic and agreed to refund part of the cost of the flowers. All in all, a less than positive experience with Goleta Floral. read more

New Owners with great service! Stopped in to get an arrangement for my sister who just had a baby. Couldn't make up my mind on what to purchase. The florist was extremely nice and informative and gave me many options in my price range. I have a wedding coming up and would definitely look into this shop as an option. Lovely people to work with. read more

My sister sent me flowers from Goleta Floral. They were absolutely amazing. Every flower in the arrangement was such peak perfection it seemed impossible! I was so impressed I felt I had to write a review and share. read more

Most fabulous service on the planet. They worked to get flowers to my grand daughter before her play. I agree with the people writing negative reviews of this florist, but check the dates on the reviews. I could not be more thrilled with decision to use them. read more

Goleta Floral did the flowers for my daughter wedding last weekend at the Fess Parker. They were beautiful beyond words. Capture the spirit of my daughter's vision perfectly and very competitively priced. They are awesome. read more

First off I just want to say that this is the first negative review I've ever written, I own a business in San Diego and I try not to leave negative reviews that can effect small business owners. I ordered flowers for my best friend's birthday online. I live in a different city and wanted to surprise her for her birthday. On the day of her birthday I found out around 5PM that she still hadn't received the flowers. I called the flower shop and was told that she tried to get a hold of both me AND my Best Friend because the address as she claims "did not exist". I called my friend to verify the address. I called the florist to assure her that the address was correct (I had ordered online so there was no excuse of misinterpretation or miscommunication of the address), she proceeded to argue that she had personally done the delivery and that she couldn't find it. She then said that she wanted my friend (the recipient of the gift) to call her directly and maybe go outside so that she could find the house. I cannot express how incredibly infuriated I am that she...... A: called my friend after only attempting to call me once and didn't leave a voicemail. B: Couldn't do the job of delivering the flowers. C: Argued the EXISTENCE of my friends address after failing to deliver the flowers. D: Forced me to have my friend ASSIST in receiving her OWN gift because of their incompetence. (She had plans for the weekend so this was the only time I had to give her a gift, otherwise I would have cancelled the order and used a different florist.) PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST FOR ANY DELIVERIES IF THE PERSON YOU ARE SENDING TO MATTERS TO YOU. read more

They have made the most incredible arrangements for all my special events. Very talented and creative team of floral artists here. Good prices and friendly service! read more

If you're looking for a professional florist that renders gorgeous and one of a kind arrangements this is the place for you! The gals at Goleta Floral created the perfect pieces to compliment my wedding. They were mindful of my budget every step of the way and were all around easy to work with! I look forward to working with them in the future especially because of the how long their flowers keep! read more

i have called twice, had horrible service. very rude. when i went into the store , they wouldn't cut my flowers and put water in the vase that I was buying from them. I would not advise to go there. read more

I ordered some flowers today, and since it was long distance I tried to call and confirm the order, I have been calling for about 3 hours now and the phone just rings and rings. There was no expected arrival time or date so I was trying to figure out when I can expect this arrangement to be there. I am very disappointed by the lack of communication, sadly. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Goleta Floral. Their service is professional and the product superb. Goleta Floral prepared my daughter's bouquet for her wedding and it came out beautifully. The woman at the counter was helpful and kind. read more

Beautiful flower arrangements and great customer service. My favorite flower shop in town.

Possibly the worst flowers ever purchased. I ordered a $120 dollar arrangement for my work and received a pitiful arrangement that was nearly half the size listed on the website. When I called, I was told that they had run out of the pink ginger. Rather than notify me or replace the flowers with an alternative, they left it completely bare. I requested that the flowers be redone and they agreed. Unfortunately, the second arrangement consisted of the same sad flowers in a slightly different way. I would avoid this florist at all cost! You can get better flowers from vons or albertsons. read more

Bad business practices. Not only did my order not get delivered but they said I needed to retrieve the flowers that went to some other address. They refused to send out a replacement bouquet or refund me. Never did see the order. Only after threatening to report them to the BBB or taking them to small claims court did they reverse my charges. I will never use them again. read more

I love having an account with Goleta floral . The girls never disappoint and have been in the industry for years . They know exactly what I like to the point I don't even tell them any more they just bring me perfection every delivery and are extremely flexible and dependable. I wouldn't every think of closing my account with them or going anywhere else ! read more

I've tried all the florists in Goleta, and Goleta Floral definitely has the best selection and quality of fresh flowers. I come here about once a week to buy a bouquet for my wife, and the flowers always look beautiful, last for at least 2 weeks, and are reasonably priced. Don't believe the negative reviews, this place is the best! read more

absolutely horrible roses they wilted after 3 days for a $100 bouquet are you kidding me ?? DO NOT PURCHASE FLOWERS FROM HERE

I called Ava's Flowers that I located online; they apparently are only a middleman and had Goleta Floral do the arrangement to be sent to my mother this last Sat. for Mother's Day. First of all, the flower arrangement looked NOTHING like the arrangement I purchased. I paid $5.00 extra for a red vase but a clear one was used. I also asked for curly twigs and there were none! The arrangement was about half the size of the one I ordered! There were no lilies as shown, they used cheap daisies instead. A lot less greenery, too. Looked like a child had done the arrangement! My mom sent me a pic of the flowers and I told her it looked nothing like what I'd paid for!! I wish I knew how to post the photos of the one I ordered and the one I got. Now, I can't even reach a person at Ava's Flowers to talk to...automated voice says schedule a call back, which I did, never got the scheduled call!! I would never use this florist ever!! Buyer beware! read more

Unfortunately my experience with Goleta Floral left a sore spot in my heart. Via an online service Goleta Floral was requested to deliver birthday flowers to my daughter IN THE MORNING, I emphasized the importance of this part of the order. Goleta Floral only 'noticed' this requirement at 2 in the afternoon when the service called at my request. I asked that the delivery be stopped as I would be in the area in another hour and the intent of a birth day surrounded by flowers was no longer possible. Instead apparently, Goleta Floral rushed and delivered the flowers anyway. I was on the phone with the service insisting that the delivery be stopped and not made. Then an hour later Goleta Floral returned and literally [yes an actual grab and run like a petty thief] ripped the flowers from my daughters hands and ran out the door of her place of employment. The delivery person was rude, reeked of smoke and other odors. Furthermore when I spoke with the delivery person on the phone he berated me for using a service [i had hoped to achieve good service and my direct phone conversation with Goleta Floral did not give me confidence, I had hoped that the service would use a more reliable source], whined that the morning was spent delivering in Carpenteria, and did not understand that from my perspective no matter where I had ordered from the delivery time was VERY IMPORTANT, but apparently not important to Goleta Floral only to me. So instead of a pleasant experience on her birthday, it was a heart wrenching abuse of a young person, extraordinarily poor service and seeming disinterest in any future business. read more
