This florist has moved and is now called Deliberately Adopted Floral & Design, 8878 La Mesa Blvd. La Mesa, CA, 91942 phone: 619-439-6874 (where Earl Fite Plumbing used to be). I knew that they were moving but wasn't sure if they were open yet. I went by with a vase and the gal that took my order was so friendly and helpful. I needed flowers to be delivered for a recent loss in my family and was so pleased with the immediate help, friendliness, compassion and professionalism that I received. I was even gifted a choice of a wonderful smelling candle which I'll enjoy for a long time. I hear a coffee shop is going in next door too...great news! I know the flowers will be beautiful and appreciated and I hope that this business does well in its new location. I highly recommend this family-run place! Let's show them some San Diego love! read more

I highly recommend this florist. It's independently owned and shows the pride of the owner. It's the first time a florist has ever sent me the picture of the delivered flowers. Beautiful! read more

Karen was referred to us by the church we were holding my Mom's Memorial service at. I needed one beautiful arrangement... and she delivered. I was first pleasantly surprised that her pricing was reasonable, particularly given the large arrangement I was ordering. I ordered the 'deluxe' level of "Fire and Ice" and it was absolutely gorgeous and beyond my expectations. Karen made the process easy, delivered as committed. Should I ever need flowers delivered in San Diego, I would not hesitate to use her again. read more

This is a great choice for buying fresh flowers or air plants in La Mesa. Joan, the owner is one of the kindest people you will ever meet who's passion is making any special event you have "extra special" with an arrangement from her shop. She went the extra mile for me getting flowers for my wife, will certainly make this place my go to for any floral purchases moving forward. read more

I was bestowed with a beautiful flower arrangement from La Mesa Florist. Always excited to receive a bouquet from this shop! Another beautiful bouquet. read more

It was my first time using this florist. I chose La Mesa Florist first off because of the super reasonable prices. The flowers that I had delivered for a birthday turned out even more beautiful than the picture on the website :) I had it arranged to be delivered at 10:30am (I even paid an extra fee to have them delivered at the specific time), and they delivered at 9:15am. It was nice that they were early, but that could have ruined the whole plan since I was having them delivered to my friend's workplace, so good thing she had gotten in by 9:15 that day! That was the only negative about the experience. Karen even sent a photo of the arrangement to my email so I could see how it turned out! So thoughtful! I will definitely be using this florist again. read more

La Mesa Florist - This arrangement is called "Vibrant Cube". So beautiful, and the recipient of these flowers said they smelled amazing! - Florists Near Me

I LOVE yelp! I found Karen in a quick and easy search when looking for a local florist in La Mesa that had solid reviews. The service and experience was excellent. I'd give her 10 stars if I could. I have now placed three orders with her... all of the arrangements are gorgeous and she's quick to process my requests and get them to my clients. It makes me feel so good supporting a local shop - with an incredible owner. Thank you so much Karen! You'll be my go to for all future orders! read more

I ordered flowers from La Mesa Florist for the first time last week and the customer service I received was outstanding! I ordered them with the owner, Karen, and she was the nicest person I've ever spoken to whenever I've dealt with flower delivery orders. I had a few delivery date changes to call in since initially placing the order and Karen was more than accommodating when dealing with my delivery date requests. I would definitely recommend La Mesa Florist for all your floral needs. They're the best!!! read more

Karen is incredible. I called her (late) to do an arrangement for Foothills in honor of my parent's 62nd anniversary. It is absolutely breathtaking. SO MANY TIMES La Mesa Florist has saved my rear when I procrastinate. Her flowers are always fresh and impeccably arranged. Don't go to a big company; support local business. And La Mesa Florist is one of the best local businesses anywhere. read more

I've ordered flowers from Karen twice. They are always punctual, beautiful arrangements, and very helpful. RFD. read more

Karen was amazing remember my name form last year! The flowers away seem much fresher than all the on line places. Don't be fooled you always get what you pay for. Why get old flowers out of a box for just a little less. read more

A friend of mine was having a birthday right after her husband died, I spoke with Karen about an arrangement to send over. She was great, sent me a photo of the arrangement and notified me when she delivered it. The arrangement was beautiful. I would use her again for any of my floral needs. read more

My best friend's mother died and I was unable to go to the funeral. La Mesa Florist made a beautiful tropical bouquet for me - I live in Minnesota, so I never had a chance to go to the actual store. They made a bouquet exactly like one I saw on their website and it was perfect. They really seemed to care that it was what I wanted also. I will use them in the future!! read more

I have been buying flowers for years from another florist but became disillusioned with them as their prices kept going up and their quality and service kept going down. A friend recommended La Mesa Florist so I called them to order flowers for an anniversary. Karen answered the phone and from the git go was extremely friendly and helpful. To top it off she even sent me an email confirming delivery and a picture of the beautiful arrangement. My wife absolutely loved the flowers and La Mesa Florists is now our one stop shop for floral arrangements. read more

I ordered flowers for a co-worker when his grandmother died and I love the service that I received. Not only was I sent an email when the arrangement was delivered, but it was accompanied by a photo of the arrangement as well. In this down economy I think about every penny spent and the extra touches of service that I received from La Mesa Florist will ensure that they stay on my speed dial!! read more

I called to get a bouquet out on the same day. I told Karen what I wanted and she told me the flowers I'd chosen were out of season and offered Orchids instead. I loved the idea. I asked for three butterflies to represent each boy that they had. The results were amazing. Karen is incredible and I highly recommend La Mesa Florist. Just look at the stunning photo of the flowers. What new mom wouldn't adore receiving these. Bummer Yelp! is having trouble and won't allow the photo to be uploaded. Believe me the flowers are gorgeous!! read more

I ordered the Ginger Love for my mother-in-law's birthday yesterday around 3PM and they delivered them to her at 11:15AM today. They sent me a confirmation email with a photo of the arrangement after they delivered them. They are gorgeous and my MIL loves them. I didn't know the delivery address, only the name of where my MIL works and the woman who took my order knew exactly where it was (they've been in SD for 20 years or something) so I didn't have to track down her office number. She was helpful and friendly over the phone and more than happy to take my super last minute order. Perfect! read more

love love love!!! Karen has the best flowers we get our formal flowers from her every year. She also came through for us when a family member had a friend pass away while I was on vacation I called Karen and she created something beautiful. read more

I live in Texas and my favorite Aunt lives in La Mesa and I know if I call or email Karen, my Aunt Joan will receive the most beautiful flowers - she is such an artist and provides superior customer service - will send me a picture of the arrangement so I know what is being sent. I could not ask for better service. read more

Excellent Customer Service!! I called this florist from out New York and got Karen on the phone. I am picky about my flower arrangements and she was patient and friendly! She also said she would send me a picture of the arrangement when it went. What a brilliant idea. Thanks so much for making it such a pleasure. read more

Karen provides great personalized service. We've used her expertise for many years and always receive great compliments on the flowers we send. read more

Karen is the absolute best! She was so accommodating as I tried to come up with some ideas and made some wonderful suggestions on flower suggestions. The bouquets turned out beautiful, and she promptly delivered them to my house. Unfortunately, I was not there since I was setting up my venue, but no matter, she kindly left them in the shade in front of the door. They really added a romantic, soft touch to my wedding. I can't thank her enough! Really good value for service, efficiency, and customer service. read more

I used to have another florist who subsequently went out of business when I found La Mesa Florist. I spoke directly with Karen, explained my needs and she put together a beautiful arrangement for my wife. I was extremely pleased as was my wife with their quality and service. Price was good too. La Mesa Florist is definitely my new go-to florist for all our needs! read more

I needed a wedding bouquet and bouts for my wedding and wanted to support a local business . Based on the reviews on Yelp, I thought I had found the right florist. I was disappointed in the final product. The flowers were not as fresh as they should have been...the roses on the men's bouts were completely huge and open by the start of the ceremony and the bridesmaid's flowers were starting to wilt. Neither bouquets were made the way that I had requested. Although I had a small order, I had the expectation of better quality and service. I won't use them again...... read more

I WILL NEVER ORDER FLOWERS FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN!!!! I use this florist for many years when I lived in San Diego. They had provided flowers for my dad's funeral many years ago. However, recently, May 20, 2011, I made my LAST purchase from them. It was for my sister's graduation from SDSU. She is 50 and was graduating with honors. Since I live in Ky. now, I called Karen and she remembered me from previous orders. The flowers arrived along with a mess. I received a letter from my sister when I returned from vacation a week later describing the mess. The vase leaked. It ruined her antique table along with her linens she had set up Sat. morning for a graduation brunch. The vase was sweating. She could not reach Karen until Monday at which time Karen was rude to my sister telling me she told her that vases sweat and that her assistant had put a liner in the vase and that she had no more vases. According to my sister, Karen refused to do anything about it, was rude, and hung up on my sister. I called today (5/30) to find out what happened and Karen was extremely rude, said my sister was trying to guilt me in that the flowers were not right, etc. She said she should not have answered the phone and just hung up on me. I am disputing the charge and WILL NEVER USE LA MESA FLORIST EVER AGAIN after over 25 years of using them!!!!! read more

I was recommended to La Mesa Florist from a co worker/friend. However I will NEVER USE LA MESA FLORIST EVER AGAIN!!!!! Karen the manager or owner was extremely rude, and disrespectful of my special occasion. My flowers arrived wilted and DEAD and 2 of the vases were cracked and obviously no water left in the vases. So when I called extremely upset and frustrated, she hung the phone on me the first time. I called a second time and she cussed me out and said, " there was nothing I could do for you." I am a local from San Diego and have now contacted the Turko Files from KUSI. Please log on frequently to see the updates I just did a follow up and they are still doing an investigation on her. She has refused to answer any of the phone calls from KUSI, so that should tell you something. read more

I ordered an arrangement with orchids, I was told by Karen the vase would be different than the one shown, I was fine with that. My order was delivered in a timely manner but was completely different from what I ordered. A succulent plant was delivered, no orchids or flowers at all. I emailed La Mesa Florist about it and received no response. read more

My daughter ordered a casket spray over the phone. She explained what she wanted and the results were so beautiful. We couldn't have been happier with the flowers or the service. Several people commented on the flowers and how beautiful they were. I don't write many reviews but this had to be done. Wish I could give more stars. read more

I called Karen of La Mesa Florist from Barstow to send flowers to a former co-worker in La Mesa--but what's more, I wanted to include a specialty gift card to Starbucks with the order. Given that I was located so far away, Karen went above and beyond to complete the order for me. I would definitely use them again! read more

I've ordered flowers for delivery from here twice. Service was awesome and so where the flowers. Highly recommended.

I ordered flowers to be delivered in La Mesa for my grandma's birthday. The online form was easy and even offered same day delivery! Karen was great, she emailed letting me know it would be a different vase (not a big deal) and when they had been delivered with a picture of the flowers. My grandma loved them! read more

I needed a floral centerpiece for my graduation. I found Karen online and called her to get a quote. She was very pleasant, I placed my order and asked to have the flowers delivered and I paid in full. When I called her 2 weeks before graduation to set up time of delivery she was very rude and told me to call few days before the graduation and that she was too busy to deal with me. I was shocked it did not sound like ther person I talked to when I first met her. When I called few days before graduation I wanted her to deliver the flowers to the school between 3-4 in the afternoon, she said that was too late and that she wanted to deliver the flowers aroung 1:00pm. I told her that I was concerned that the flowers would sit out in the hot sun for too long, she laughed at me and told me the flowers would be fine. The flowers that were delivered were bare and wilted was not worth 100 dollars. I did not call her because I felt she would do nothing for me and really did not want to experience her rude behavior during a very important day in my life. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE!!! read more

I needed a sympathy bouquet to get to a friend ASAP. I called La Mesa Florists at 2pm and a beautiful bouquet was delivered by 4pm. To confirm delivery, they also sent me an email with a picture of the bouquet attached. The flowers were beautiful and the service was great. Thank you, Karen and La Mesa Florist, for helping me show my support to my friend. read more

Wow! My daughter sent me a lovely arrangement for my birthday. I have been enjoying them so much. Karen was so diligent about making sure I got the flowers on my birthday and my daughter said that Karen couldn't have been nicer about getting a rush order out. Thank you for such beautiful work and making my birthday so much brighter :) read more

Well, add me to the list of Karen fan club members. Living in the Seattle area, I had a very special request for the funeral of a dear friend who was 91 years old who loved gardenias. Of course, in January, good luck finding anything like that. But Karen did and it actually had blooms on it! On top of that, she sent a photo to me which was above and beyond any service I have ever received from any florist. Her name is now on my iPhone contact list, no need to check florists in the San Diego area ever again. read more

This florist is great! Very helpful staff! Great flowers and plants! Same day delivery!
