NEW LOCATION! Looks like they haven't updated their new location in ALAMEDA! Located inside the marketplace on Buena Vista and Park St. The owner is super nice and helpful. She presented a few options of bouquets with different price ranges. A good selection of arrangements for any occasion and any budget! My new go-to floral shop. And she's a local who lives on the island! #SupportLocal #SupportSmallBusinesses read more

My boyfriend sent me flowers at work today. Evelyn came but unfortunately you need a badge to get into my building so she couldn't deliver the flowers. She called me but I was in a meeting. I called her back maybe 30 minutes later and she said she'd come back to try and deliver them again. I thought this was so nice of her! The flowers are beautiful and I loved how Evelyn was so accommodating and made sure I got my flowers. Thank you, Evelyn!! read more

Leamington Florist - Florists Near Me - Oakland, California

I worked with Evelyn for flowers for my wedding and could not be more pleased! From initial emails and phone calls, she was attentive, creative and supportive. I sent over pictures of what I had in mind and she listened attentively yet was always ready with a few creative suggestions. She put together: - Flowers for the pews and church - Bouquets (bridal & bridesmaids) - Boutonnieres - Centerpieces The week of the wedding, I wanted to give bouquets to my grandparents as well as my mother & MIL--she was super sweet and accommodating in putting those together as well. She wrote their names on cards that were attached to the bouquets to make them easy to differentiate. I received a lot of compliments on the flowers throughout the wedding day and highly recommend Evelyn! She is able to work with any budget. but more than that, she's very personable and was a joy to work with. read more

It has been quite a while since I have been to this florist. The first time was almost 11 years ago and the other time was about four years ago. Surprisingly, the owner still remembers me from way back then. Last Friday, I stopped in briefly to talk to Evelyn and I noticed a purple vase sitting on top of one of the shelving units. The cost was $6.00. I was on the short end of cash, so I told her I would return to purchase it. I don't have a purple vase, and this is going to be a little impulse buying. I am not going to feel bad about this purchase and I guess it's what young people call retail therapy...lol. Well, I got there in the nick of time to purchase the vase. I thought Evelyn was closing shop at 5:00 PM, but I was told by her that she had to stay later than 5:00 PM to finish up floral arrangements for a wedding tomorrow. The arrangements were beautiful - a wedding bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet and a maid of honor bouquet. I could tell she had a project on her hands and she still had to do a centerpiece with some branches. I couldn't stay long to conversate, and then I did not want to impede her progress on her floral arrangements. I know there will be other times to visit and buy flowers. read more

Evelyn is the owner of this small, cute flower shop in downtown Oakland. She has moved from across the street? She is only doing flowers and I do believe that this is definitely her forte'. ( I read other reviews for restaurants) Due to my "Champagne taste and Beer budget" I had to really search hard to get a great florist for our Ceremony as well as Wedding.I went to four other florist before I hired Evelyn to be my florist for the July Wedding. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my Bridal Bouquet to look like as well as my center pieces and she did exactly like the picture. She was very efficient, professional and has a great personality. Very easy to work with and also, very reasonable. What ever is your budget, she will work you. read more

Our office used to be in the same building as Leamington Florist and Miss Evelyn quickly became my go-to florist. She very kindly helped me pick out flowers every few weeks for my wife and made sure they were ready when I got off work. And now during COVID, I placed an order online and Evelyn called to make sure it was correct and then called again to let me know the flowers were out for delivery. Always a great experience! Definitely support the shop if you can. read more

Evelyn was beyond accommodating! I needed some arrangements that were bright as well as elegant. I picked a design from her website and unfortunately her shop didn't have some of the pieces. But she gladly replaced the pieces she didn't have with comparable pieces. Her shop was quick and efficient! I was able to order the same day and few hours later they were delivered way ahead of schedule with a photo of the final product texted to me! That's what you call excellent customer service! I highly recommend this florist. read more

I love supporting local businesses. Especially since a little birdie told me that 1-800-Flowers contracts thru local businesses and they tend to use their oldest and crappiest flowers since they only get a small cut of the deal. So support your local businesses! If I ever have any flowers I need to send for work purposes in the Oakland area, this is the first company I'm hitting up! Oh and their website makes ordering a breeze, check it out! read more

I ordered a flower from Teleflora for my birthday last week and the local provider was Leamington Florist in Oakland. Two stars for the flowers. The $14 service fee was so not worth it. I was really disappointed with the note card. Its typed from a 8'11" paper cut-out. and the cut was not even straight. It's crooked. The address written on the left end and the Greetings written on the right end. It's a mediocre job and a rip off! I will never get a flower again from Teleflora. Thanks to you Lexington florist . You made a special flower arrangement less special. read more

I have to agree. I am the spouse that JT was buying them for. I got them almost every 8 days or so and they were ALWAYS delivered with a smile and ALWAYS a wonderful arrangement. She would even go to the market specifically because she had something in mind for arrangements. If you work at Kaiser, her delivery is very inexpensive but you have to call her direct. I miss you Evelyn! Renee read more

For so many years I've seen Evelyn's work at different weddings that I've attended. Once my day came around I totally forgot about her until my mom reminded me. I first met with one florist who wanted to charge me almost $800 for all my flowers and I didn't feel like I was getting $800 worth when she was describing what the arrangements would look like. Then I had a consultation with Evelyn. Her vision for the flowers was amazing. She told me what she was thinking of doing based on the pictures I gave her and it ended up being a lot cheaper than the other florist and I felt like I was going to get my money's worth. the day of the wedding I didn't see any of the flowers except my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets. I wasn't worried because I knew the flowers would be beautiful. Once I walked into the sanctuary I was amazed. She created a floral arrangement exactly how I envisioned it. She's creative and delivers what you want. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding florist. read more

Funky, funky, funky. Needs to be seen to be believed. Talk about one stop shopping, this is a flower shop with a Vietnamese Restaurant in the back and an ice cream parlor (complete with counter) inside as well. The ice cream isn't bad but the cone was a bit stale. Typical downtown Oakland, you have to check out these holes in the walls sometimes, weird and cool stuff often lurk within them. read more

I received flowers as a surprise from my boyfriend. Like someone else mentioned...the note that comes with the flowers isn't anything you would love to save. It's a crooked piece of jagged orangish colored paper. The thing I was most disappointed with was how long my flowers lasted. I received them later in the day on Monday, by Wednesday (not even two full days later) I had already lost at least two. After that they were dropping like fly's, even the babys breath was dying. For how much you pay for flowers, you would expect for them to last longer. read more

What a cute little florist! Small simple space tucked swaying in a large Corp building. Evelyn, the owner was such a sweet woman that quickly pulled together a beautiful arrangement of flowers right off the cuff. The price was very reasonable. So much so I actually asked that she charge me more for the bouquet! It looks as though she my do more events which from the unplanned arrangement I bought I can only imagine that she does a great job on those as well. If you are in the neighborhood stop by and pick up some flowers from Evelyn to brighten someone's day. read more

I had ten bridesmaids, eight groomsmen, four flowergirls, three ringbears, three grandmas, one grandpa, two moms and one dad. Whew. Leamington made sure they all had their wedding flowers. Leamington Florist did a wonderful job. I had about 23 tables at the venue that needed centerpieces and needed a church flower arrangement. I kept with a simple theme of creme roses and calla lilies. Leamington Florist was on time delivering and setting up all flowers. The cake flowers were amazing too. I loved my bride bouquet. She added rhinestones in the flowers. She even created a toss bouquet for me that was placed on the cake table and it looked beautiful. The bridesmaids bouquets were simple, beautiful and classic. I recommend! read more

Evelyn has been my favorite go-to florist for the 9 years I've been working in the area. Not only is she a wonderful person with a kind demeanor and always smiling, her arrangements consistently exceed my expectations. She produces works of art, from simple office plants to high end, large scale event arrangements for businesses, galas, weddings, anniversaries, etc. I can first hand attest to her artistry in each type, as I've walked past her shop to look in at the creations she's working on each week; I work in a building that hires her for weekly arrangements at the lobby desk and this is where my friends and family go to order arrangements for my birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and staff days. I would recommend her services to any individual or business. read more
