This place will not let you down. It's beautifully set up with fresh flowers, cards, little gifts, balloons and even jewellery. There are pre-made bouquets which I have purchased twice while on the go. One had lovely rustic looking flowers with a small apple in the bunch. They were much loved by the recipient, well wrapped in brown crepe paper and a few bits of burlap and ribbon. I've also went in and asked them to make me up a bouquet of blue coloured flowers for a new Mum of a baby boy. I named my price and a gorgeous arrangement with blue hydrangeas and tall yellow flowers was born. They're very competitive prices considering a bunch of flowers will sometimes cost you $15-$20 at Safeway or Coles. For similar prices you can get a much spendier looking bouquet that's wrapped nicely and includes the plant food. The employees are very friendly as well. There's usually good music playing and a good vibe. I was chatting to one employee, manager or owner I assume, and he was saying that they won first prize in the Melbourne flower show and they were a late entry. A+ NB, if you check in on yelp, you get a discount!

This is one of my favourite local florists and a place where I am always happy to waste some time…read more I've been coming here since it opened in 2009 and I have to say that it is one the best additions to this area. We were really lacking in quality flowers and Bloomsville has been like a breath of fresh air. I met the owner a while ago and he always seems to be happy and cheerful, filled with great knowledge about the flowers and different arrangements. He mentioned that he had helped out with arrangements at the races and told me about a feature of bright pink rhododendrons. I was sold. When I walked past I noticed that apart from having the usual gorgeous seasonal flowers and foliage that there was Christmas decorations in the store. After I had gotten over my initial shock about the fact that Christmas is indeed approaching, I had a closer look and resolved to return soon - not just for some flowers, but to browse the cute merchandise.

After experiencing some disappointment with a purchase I rang Bloomsville to express my concern and…read morethey were fantastic. In fact their customer service is some of the best I have ever experienced and I will definately make this my number one destination for floral purchases. Lauris

I have a theory that a girl's happiness is proportionate to the number of flowers in her life…read more Flowers = :) No flowers = :( So while I am fortunate to receive flowers occasionally, there are those times when it is essential for my mental health and general well-being to purchase them for myself. A nice little posy for my bedside table, a flamboyant orchid for my bathroom, or a big bunch of peonies for the kitchen bench. Troubadour is just the ticket for these moments, and provides all the contemporary floral favourites such as lilies, tulips and freesias. Best of all - they offer plenty of exotic looking plants whose botanical/actual names escape me (but that I give my own secret names like "spiky heads" or "pom-poms"). Troubadour is neatly hidden away - while the address is Glenferrie Road, it's actually in a little arcade so be careful not to miss it. What a shame that would be, because this place has friendly service and lovely wrapping which means you will be the happiest girl alive when you walk out with a bouquet.

At first glance Bivano and Sons appears to be a high quality and well stocked fruit and vegetable…read moreshop. But anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting this well known grocer knows better! Yes B & S has the best looking and diverse range of fruit and veg I have seen, but it doesn't stop there. There is a beautiful range of flowers to choose from as well as a deli section I could very well live in. Any shop that has a fridge of Ben and Jerry Ice-Cream has my vote. And yes, they do stock a range of sauces and deliciousness from Gourmet Simon Johnson. This grocer is not only filled with beautiful products but friendly staff and a conjoining butcher for all your carnivourous needs. This place is a pleasure to visit and its produce joyous to consume. Yes, it is that good. All other greengrocers take note please.

Waiting times can be a little long if the shop is busy as they tend to staff for the long hall (being a 24hrs shop) rather than peak periods but it's worth the wait.
