    The bouquet on the left was made by Menlo Botanica. The ballon and "short" flowers are from a different florist.

    Not a great value for the cost. I spent $136 on a bouquet that wasn't any nicer than something I could've gotten for $20 at the grocery store. The good news is they were able to help with my request for a cat-safe bouquet but I had to look up a list online of the cat-safe flowers while it was on the call. When I called to place the order the lady on the phone had to put me on hold three or four times. In the end, the bouquet only included the orange roses we'd discussed but did not include any snapdragons or orchids. Overall, disappointing.

    This review is LONG overdue. I will try to keep it short! Five years ago, my mom and I happened upon Menlo Botanica the day before my wedding. We had recently fired our wedding florist because she kept increasing her prices on us and had resigned ourselves to having a wedding without flowers. My mom, always the optimist, told me to do a quick google search for proximity. She was familiar with the artist center where the florist is located, so we decided to give it a try. The owner and her florists were SO kind. They listened to our story and immediately set out to make me a wedding bouquet, boutonnière for my husband, and a small flower clip for my hair. Then, they asked me for a list of all the flowers I had dreamt of having at my wedding. Even though our previous florist had told us that the flowers were too hard to find, Menlo Botanica said it was "no problem." They even chopped up a recently delivered plant for us because I had my heart set on hellebores. The owner told us to go have lunch and that when we returned, everything would be ready. Just thinking about how they took care of us that day and on the day of the reception makes me cry. My mom and I ended up with everything we had dreamt of (and more). She passed away a few years ago, but til the day she died, she reminisced about my wedding day and how perfectly beautiful the flowers were. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating a memory that will never ever fade.

    Gorgeous flowers

    I wanted an arrangement for a friend after surgery but needed to make sure that none of the contents were toxic to dogs/cats. I ordered the arrangement that seemed to have mostly flowers that were non-toxic and added a note to the order to ask that they only include non-toxic items, including a list of flowers. They made a gorgeous bouquet and told me that they throughly checked all the greenery they had included as well. Beautiful, classy blooms and wonderful service! Well worth the costs compared to other florists as the blooms are such high quality and that arrangements exquisite.

    Can I just preface by saying Lisa and her team are angels! I had a engagement shoot I was gearing up to do, and the florist I generally go to was closed. Lisa and her team, mind you- 10 minutes before closing we're willing to help me! NOT ONLY was the staff beyond helpful and friendly, they were accommodating to what I was wanting and had described over the phone my vision and they definitely didn't disappoint. The bouquet was absolutely perfect! It was classy, boho, vintage perfection. There are not enough words to describe this beautiful pieced art! I'm so impressed by their staff, their friendliness and willing to help last minute that they have a customer for life. Truly. Best florist hands down.

    I've ordered flowers from here twice, both times last minute. They follow instructions well as I was specific on a couple of things for delivery and the flowers are just beautiful. Would definitely order from them again.

    lisa was very helpful on the phone and the bouquet that was delivered to my mother-in-law was exactly what I asked for

    These are several days old and a bit banged up from bringing them home from hospital but to see how gorgeous they were

    Excellent same day delivery for beautiful bouquet to a loved one who was at Stanford hospital. I didn't have specific flowers but I described what look and feeling I was going for and they did an excellent job. The vase was lovely as well. Would use again for any flower needs.

    Bliss arrangement

    The best florist in the area by far. I've received several absolutely gorgeous arrangements that I loved. True artistry in their choices of stems in each piece

    Lisa and her team did the Flowers for my Wedding October 2020 (during the pandemic) and they were PERFECT!! I honestly wouldn't change anything about the flowers and they really made the wedding kicked up a notch. We only had 20 people, but I last minute changed to a bigger Garden Court venue and Lisa really helped me make it happen! She came to the venue numerous times and constantly helped me make flower choices. She is very efficient and organized. The flowers were beautiful and fresh and my bouquet was amazing! I came into it not really caring about the flowers, as long as my wedding dress was perfect, but Lisa really showed me how the flowers are important to a Wedding. I was not disappointed. My bouquet even lasted throughout the whole wedding, car ride to the beach, and back! The flowers seriously make the pictures bloom, no pun intended. Lisa was great to work with and I could not have picked a better Florist for my Wedding.

Unsure of flower availability during the chaos of the pandemic, I reached out to see if she could recreate a beautiful arrangement she had made for me last November. She responded quickly, with thoughtfulness and clarity. This time, the order was especially meaningful, as it was a sympathy bouquet for a dear friend who had just lost her grandmother to COVID. Because the loss was so sudden, time was of the essence. Bella not only took my request seriously, but assured me she would treat the order with the utmost care and urgency. When the flowers arrived, my friend texted me immediately. She included a photo, and the moment I saw it, I thought, Bella arranged this as if it were for her own grandmother. The bouquet was stunning, elegant, heartfelt, and full of life. It was clear that every detail was handled with compassion and artistry. I haven't experienced this level of customer service in a very long time. Bella is a rare talent and a true professional. She has earned all of my future business--and more than five stars. She deserves ten. Bella, if you're reading this--thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Each were designed beautifully. Some flowers were fully opened (still beautiful) while others were young and fresh. One wreath was to be Graceful Wreath but turned out to be Serenity Wreath, but it's okay, still beautiful. Same price. Thinking possibly not enough colorful flowers to pull it off. Two of the sprays were missing their cards when brought to the gravesite by the memorial park personnel. The florist delivered to the memorial park office. I called (it was at 6pm after closing) with the intention of leaving my orders on their answering machine but their voice message directed me to place my order via email. It's a smart request to ensure that orders placed is correct and names are spelled correctly. Also delivery information is not misunderstood. Was surprised, and pleased, receiving a reply at almost 8pm that same day, with confirmation that we would connect by phone for payment info the next day. Email and phone call communications were friendly, cordial, and understanding. I would use Michaela Flower Shop again. Thanks Tonya!

    I went to their shop on a Monday and Ordered a funeral arrangement /spray for a Friday service at…read morethe church for a total of $360. I chose the Paradise spray as the young man who had passed away really liked Hawaii. I asked the young lady that took the order whether it's large or if I pay more would it be larger and she said all the sprays are the same size and if you pay more, they would just add more flowers but the size would be the same. So, I asked her to charge me more for more flowers $300 and go from there. Told her it's for a young man who has passed away and I want it to be special. After calling someone to make sure they can do this arrangement due to the fact that they were very busy with weddings that weekend, She assured me that it would be done and made special. She even said that they have all the flowers in-season to be able to make this spray. At he church service on Friday I was so EMBARRASSED by the arrangement. It was small and not balanced (maybe it was missing the leaves around it... not sure) but it looked terrible or maybe the florist just didn't take the time to arrange in properly. I think they should not take additional business when they cannot handle it. I know the cost of a funeral spray does not compare to the revenue they get for a wedding but this was important to me and I wanted something special for my loved one. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to take a picture because I did not want anyone associating those flowers with me. After calling the store, a couple of people (Regina and then Mark) called me back and just apologized; At first offering to refund me 50% but then rescinding that offer. Their messages mentioned that I was charged appropriately for the arrangement and they would contact me but I never heard back after leaving my review. There should be better training of their staff when a customer orders so they do not give the wrong information about the size of an arrangement and also, not take on additional business when they cannot handle it. Think twice about ordering a one-off arrangement from here; their focus is only on big-ticket revenue from weddings.
