This by far is the top flower shop in Los Angeles, and Glendale. The hand held bouquet and arrangement they do, you won't find or see anywhere. And this is based on an international experience. Seen and dealt with a lot of flower shops. This is definitely different. This shop is made for anyone who appreciates the timeless beauty of a simple, elegant, artfully designed flower arrangement. Their florists have extensive experience and training in creating classic yet unique stunning bouquets. They will accommodate you and meet your same-day and next-day flower delivery needs. To fit your hectic schedule and last-minute occasions, they offer deliveries too. Whether your flowers are being delivered to a residence, office, hospital, school or hotel, their team will insure them arrive safely and on time. In France, flowers aren't simply something you buy and give as gifts. Instead, they tell a story on your behalf. From the type of flower to the number of stems, from the composition of the arrangement to the color of the blooms, bouquets exude meaning, passion, and heart. And speaking of heart the madam "owner" of the shop never let me down for years now dealing with her and her Armenian-inspired, amazing and beautiful hand-crafted arrangements. Whether I'm out of the states traveling internationally or domestically, running late or calling late and after hours trying to catch up on a last minute occurrence and occasion. Emergency or not, she always showed her support and beautiful true colors accommodating my requests and needs. Highly recommended and appreciated read more

I live in Florida, and I wanted to order flowers for a birthday. I placed my order, but I wasn't expecting what they received. I was stunned when I saw a picture of the flowers I purchased. They were gorgeous and way above my expectations. And my expense stations were high, considering the fact that I have friends who speak highly of this place. I am very happy and definitely ordering from them again. Thank you for making my order such a great experience and so easy read more

Please save yourself some time and money. I ordered flowers for my moms birthday from here and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made. I requested that the flowers be delivered anytime before 4 since she leaves work at 4. This shouldn't be a hard request since the flower shop is a block away from the destination. I called at 3pm to make sure they were going to get there by 4, and she confirmed they would be and her driver was just stuck in a little traffic. I call back at 3:50 to make sure they were delivered, and she tells me "I called your mom and asked if she could stay a little longer at work to wait for the flowers". WHO DOES THIS??!!!! First of all, it was meant to be a surprise and second, if you're having issues, reach out to me, not who I'm sending the flowers to. At 4:14 I get a call from her telling me the driver is parking and it'll be delivered in 2 minutes. The flowers were delivered at 4:40. Super annoyed with this place. read more

Take business elsewhere, highway robbery! The flowers were not fresh and they charged us $100 for a $50 arrangement When our coworker picked it up she said this is not a $00 flower arrangement. The store owner said well this is what you get for one hundred dollars at our store! Bruised flowers and a few hydrangeas! The store owner lost a lot of business for a retirement party event since we had over 70 attendees and we let them all know not to go to Kara Bala! read more

You ruined my Valentine's Day. My husband paid for the flowers and you never delivered it today as promised. And this lady owner, her name is EMMA was very rude, she just said "I'm very busy" with no explanation why the flowers were not delivered today. She just said "I'm very busy no time to talk". Very unprofessional and incompetent. She ruined my Valentine's Day, she shouldn't be in any kind of business coz she doesn't know the word professionalism and customer service. We will never order flowers from this place EVER AGAIN! And on top of that, the owner is a liar. She told my husband the flowers were on the way around 10-11 am. But guess what, no Flowers showed up today and she just said "oh we will just deliver tomorrow". Well Emma, tomorrow is not valentine's anymore. What a LIAR! You're so good in ruining celebrations. Epic. Clap clap clap. So peeps, please save yourselves from this flower shop. You will thank me later. read more

I never write bad reviews for any business because I know how hard people work to please their customers but this was just unbelievable. I was in glendale looking for a decent flower shop to order a nice arrangement with a reasonable price and it was the biggest mistake to have come across this shop. I know flower arrangements are above the roof, but cmon guys this is your Mother's Day bouquet (mind you, with the wrong wrapping, that I had chosen). A flower shop that rips off their customers. Please turn away from this overpriced, unprofessional flower shop. False advertisement. This is what you will be delivered. A plain, grocery shop like bouquet. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

WHY DIDNT I LOOK AT YELP BEFORE HAND! And I'm such a yelper but didn't think to look but I should have! I came inside and was greeted hello then she looked the other way and continued her conversation with someone who works there and he had to be like "you have a customer." I then ask for a price estimate on flowers and the woman was like "well what do you want how can I give you a price estimate when I don't know what you want." When I let her know what I wanted, she didn't even have me choose the individual roses I wanted. And when I asked to see the bouquet, she was so annoyed, huffed and puffed and said "can I have your card?" And I said... "can I look first?"Very rude! Please DO NOT waste your time here. Plenty of other places you could go!!! read more

By far the rudest florist I have met in my entire life. The woman is hysterical and threatening and I feared for my life after leaving the shop. Avoid at all costs! read more

The best flower shop in Glendale. I have done all my occasions, wedding, birthdays and ... with Kara bala flowers and every time the flowers and service was more than what I expected and I paid for. Emma ( owner) is one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met and she always works with my budget. I highly recommend Kara bala for its best service, budget friendly and fresh flowers. read more

do not ever buy flowers from this place!!!!!!! ive bought many many bouquets from different places but i have never seen anything like this from a "flower shop". even ralphs has nice bouquets. this is ridiculous!!!!! i am just shocked! read more

Extremely unsatisfied with your job. I honestly downloaded yelp to make this review 1. The amount I paid for literally does not correspond to the size nor the ugliness of some of the flowers 2. I told the young lady about some dead/withered flowers she took some off yet only tried to arrange the bow instead of adding better ones 3. One of The purple peonies was crush between flowers no interest in switching the flower or arranging it I honestly was about to just leave the whole arrangement there. Flower district for less amount had more beautiful, bigger, and fresh arrangements. Super disappointed and embarrassed by the lack of work and lack of flowers put into my crown arrangement for a funer read more

We got ugly wilting flowers. They gave us old flowers with brown spots on them as the decoration for my grandmother's funeral, and they spelled our names wrong on multiple flowers. When we called to complain, the lady we spoke to kept yelling at my father saying that she spelled our names the way we told her. As if we don't know how to spell our own names? This is especially ridiculous because she actually spelled one name correctly in one spot, and then wrong in another spot. So obviously she was given the right spelling and just could not care less. Terrible customer service and no pride in their work. 0 care that they were providing for a funeral or that we paid them a LOT of money. All the other reviews on here are accurate. Bad flowers and bad service. read more

So RUDE! My best friend tried to send flowers to me for my B-day. She is in NV. So this is the florist that company chose. HUGE MISTAKE! The flowers did not get delivered on the correct day. So this florist, Kara-Bala Florist, calls me, the next day,& insists they were delivered. No they weren't! So after confirming my address multiple times. She said she would talk to her "driver" & call me back. Then her even more offensive driver calls me. Saying things like, I delivered to you, you have a dog. NO I DON"T! Maybe you delivered to my neighbor? He has the nerve to say to me "go get them". What? Then he says " you should have the numbers on my house in better view. It's on the curb & on my house! Besides every other minute, he would say let me talk, basically arguing with me that he didn't make a mistake. After going rounds w/him for 15min, I hung up on him. Called the shop back, told the woman, send me replacement flowers or give my friend her $ back! Period! So later that evening, I looked on my porch, there was the original arrangement from the day before. Don't know if he went back to my neighbors & demanded them back or what? Never did get "new" flowers I was promised.Then the next day someone else called from that shop, I didn't even answer. PS. In my youth, I worked in a florist shop for 5yrs! DO NOT USE THIS SHOP, EVER! No customer service! read more

I hardly leave bad reviews, but this one has to be done. I ordered flowers last week to be delivered on Mother's Day. THEY WERE NEVER DELIVERED! I called multiple times, and no response. I left a voicemail too, but nothing from them. It says they're closed Sunday's, but when I ordered online, the 10th was available, but the rest of the Sunday's were not. That's how I know they were open for Mother's Day. There were other businesses I checked where they would not be able to deliver on the 10th. I should have checked the reviews before ordering, because obviously they don't know what the hell they're doing. Do not order flowers from here. By far the worst flower place I've done business with. I would give them 0 stars if I could. Horrible experience read more

I did not receive confirmation of delivery time nor did I get a response to my texts following up multiple times after my order was placed. Customer service person was not accommodating. I canceled my order. read more

I cannot believe the horrible service I received from this flower shop. I know everyone is busy during these times, but there is no excuse for the horrible treatment I received. I had placed an order over the phone last week for my mom, Irma, for Mother's Day. I gave my credit card info over the phone & even the next day I called to confirm all was fine, they said don't worry hun, it will get there for sure, if any issues we'll call you. On Mother's Day, NO flowers for my mom! I even called them 5 times Sunday to confirm they're going out since it was getting late, they couldn't find my order first few calls, then said to call back, they were rude & rushed me to hang up, the last call to them (5th call) they said oh they found my order and then they hung up on me! Figured she'd get the flowers now, but nothing. Again, I know it was a busy day, but that doesn't give people the right to be rude & so unprofessional. I will never order from here again & will tell everyone I know in Glendale or nearby to stay away!!! Beyond disappointing my mother did not get her flowers on her special day! read more

The flower was really nice but the lady was soooo rude! She chooses who she wants to serve!!!

I ordered 2 arrangements for my boss to be picked up the following day by lunch time. I gave the woman a cc over the phone and stressed several times when it was needed and she reassured me it would be ready. The next day my co-worker went to pick them up and they hadn't even started either arrangement. Secondly, because she couldn't physically show the same cc I had given her on the phone she started telling my co-worker she thinks we're committing cc fraud. My co-worker ended up giving her a personal card and waiting for the arrangements to be made. Only to find out later that the woman charged BOTH credit cards and after multiple calls it still has yet to get resolved. Very frustrating. read more

Honestly I didn't know how people could be so rude. I walked in the store and I see 4 ladies standing in the back doing flowers. First of all I get it they were busy but a little costumer service greeting would be nice , that was the start so I still was like it's okay I'll see if they can make an arrangement for me and she said we don't do that I'm like okay would you be able to do close to it no . Everything I said the answer was no ! FOUR TIME ! I was talking to them in a distance no one came to approach me . I was so annoyed of the nasty attitude ! Very rude Top it all off they were speaking in Armenian. I WOULD NEVER WALK IN THERE NOR WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE . Ima sure they have plenty of beautiful nice places around the corner be careful ! read more

I bought roses from Kara Bala Flower Shop , most importantly they have great customer service and quality flowers. Thank you read more

I recently started going to Kara-Bala to keep positive vibes in my apartment. They're all very sweet and yes some people might think you're getting attitude but toughen up....I love a woman who keeps me in my place. And I don't know who complained about getting wilted flowers because I see them check every minute detail and they would never do that. All said as the Gucci prince of Glendale I approve this place and wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Terrible semi dry flowers. One of the flowers was broken. Looked like a broom more than a bouquet. Customer service is zero with attitude and blaming on the website. Will never ship again with those crooks. Wouldn't even pay a penny for that service. Save your time and buy from somewhere else if you don't want to be embarrassed for the delivery from this shop. read more

Best Flower shop with the most unique designed floral arrangements. Will surely order from here for all my upcoming events and celebrations. read more

I ordered flowers for a funeral and it was the worst experience I ever had. The flower arrangements were not what I wanted. She decided to make The arrangement with her own taste. Did not take Into consideration what I wanted. By the way her taste sucks. I wonder how she is in business. And customer service was at minus zero read more

I got flowers here for my parents wedding anniversary in Jan 2022 and the arrangement is still intact and the petals/leaves have not fallen off, it dried nicely and looks like fake flower decorations now but they are real! I also just bought a funeral wreath for my Dad's funeral and it was gorgeous and they delivered it on time too! Emma is the best florist! Thank you for taking good care of my orders! read more

One word, DISGUSTED. I am not the person to leave a bad review but I am so disgusted with the flowers and the treatment my family and I have received from this place, specifically from the owner Emma. These flowers were delivered to me at 5pm and within a couple of hours we noticed the whole arrangement and my dining table were covered in bugs. We took the flowers immediately outside of my house and within a couple hours the same thing happened, AGAIN. In the morning, my mom called the flower shop to speak to the owner, Emma, to let her know what had happened. She was extremely rude, disrespectful, and had no respect towards her customers. She yelled at my mom and said that it was our own fault and the bugs came from our home, when we had several other bouquets from other flower shops around and NOT one of them had a single flaw or bug on them. She yelled at us and refused to give us any kind of a refund even after we returned the flowers back to her and sent her pictures/videos for proof. The only thing she offered us was another set of flowers which we obviously refused because we did not want the risk of having our home infested with bugs once again. read more

Horrible florist, she is a manipulator, a lier that takes advantage of naive brides. She will ruin your wedding day, this is a promise... Do not get excited with the sample centerpiece she makes for you, the real ones is going to be less than half that size. Shame on you Ossanna read more

If I could leave 0 reviews, I would so do it. 1) the rudest owner who doesn't deserve any business. 2) worst customer service. 3) WORST JOB EVER. Do not waste any of your money here because you will end up getting yelled at as well. I spend $110 dollars and received this instead. She acted that she didn't care and this is what you get either if I liked it or not. And plus she keeps calling me and bugging me because I told her I will write the worst review. read more

Would give a zero star if possible bc she was very rude throughout my whole visit. She very rudely did not want to even try my card bc it didn't have a chip and demanded I go get cash to pay her. Almost snatch the arrangement from my arm when I asked her to at least try my card. read more

The flowers got there on time and that's all the positivity I have to say about this place. The box the flowers were placed in looked like it had been out in the rain and pieces of the box were ripped, on top of the fact that I had to call and find out why this had happened the people were so rude and unprofessional. Never again! read more

Very bad custumer service. I just called to check the pricess and the girl was very rude and aggressive. All I wanted to know is prices. She is like I can't give you prices go and check other places. Of course I will, who will buy from you if you treat your customers like this. What a shame!! I am the customer and you must treat me with respect. Go and learn some skills. read more

No wonder this store has 2 star I had to check before I go. The most rude person I've ever met in my life. Please don't support this because they don't deserve to stay in business. I Specifically called to make sure they sale flower foam before I drive to their store, over the phone they said yes but when I went there the lady almost kicked me out!!!!! WTF read more

I was in the shop today wanting to buy some flowers for my mother, sister and wife. I was trying to find something nice and during that, after 3 minutes the lady approached to me saying "hurry up I am busy". This is not a customer service at all. I left right away after that. Hope the shop owner will see my review and prevent such incidents keeping customers happy and satisfied. read more

I just got flowers ordered from my fiancé and got them handed to me without a vase. I mean really? And then whoever wrote on the card is probably in preschool. What a joke. The lady was rude and wouldn't give a refund. Thanks for my bouquet of flowers that will soon dry out because u didn't provide a paid for vase. read more
