    Fall Upright Spring in glass vase

    These guys knock it out of the park. If you don't like them, you're not for them. I woke up at 4 am today, realizing I needed a very special bouquet. I emailed them with my order, asked to pick up later this morning, and they emailed me back upon opening (7am). I showed up... IT WAS GORGEOUS. I knew right then that the recipients would love it. And 15 minutes later, as I gave it to them, I knew I was right. This was a bouquet that turned heads and will be remembered. Coming back the next time I need a very special bouquet.

    Beautiful arrangements from Rainforest Flowers.

    Absolutely the only florist I use for any occasion. Mike Miyashiro is an artist and he has the most beautiful flowers. Recently they helped us with a memorial service for a family member and they couldn't have been easier to work with or have provided a more beautiful arrangement. I followed them from their Ward location to their Kilohana Square location off of Kapahulu.

    Beautiful garden roses

    I love flowers. I have flowers in my home at all times. And when I need to order something, this is always my go-to place. Rainforest is my favorite flower shop in Honolulu because Michael the designer and owner is a gifted floral artist with the best eye. He makes flowers even more gorgeous because of his skill in putting everything together. A feast for your eyes! Order on line....or go in or call. Be specific about the types of flowers you want added and discuss the effect you want and cost. A bit more than other shops, but so worth it.

    Inside Rainforest

    I have wandered in to the Rainforest at Kilohana Square enough times to look at their beautiful flowers and unique decorative items that my sweetie got the hint and sent me a gorgeous arrangement of garden roses and lilies. Unfortunately there was an issue with the arrangement, it was damaged during transport, so I called Rainforest to let them know. Rainforest's customer service was excellent. A different time, a different florist delivered a damaged arrangement--a rose had snapped off. That florist sent a single replacement rose for me to stick into my arrangement. Not Rainforest, within a few hours, I was stunned when a complete second garden rose and lily arrangement arrived, just as stunning as the first and perfectly intact. I was the talk of the office, with not one, but two sets of flowers on my desk! Yes, their flowers are pricey, but if you are treating yourself or want to send something extra special, Rainforest's arrangements say luxury. These are not your average flowers, these are beautiful works of art.

    Bereavement arrangement

    I love flowers - always have, always will, love to give them, love to receive them. When my cousin passed away unexpectedly in September, my family faced the daunting task of planning a memorial service for a person whose wishes were largely unknown. This is going to sound a little weird, but due to my job, I'm actually somewhat experienced in planning funerals, so many of the details were left up to me. I have worked with many different florists, so I had a few in mind and even contacted a couple. The enormity of the occasion weighed heavily on me - everything had to be "perfect" for my cousin who was more like a sister to me. I had actually never worked with or even ever ordered flowers from Rainforest before in my life. I was familiar with their reputation for beautiful arrangements and their lei presented in ti leaves but hesitant that they might be outrageously expensive. In the end, something told me to just make the call. I gave Michael the owner a general description of what we wanted (3 large pieces, green and white, maybe some purple, no anthuriums). He advised me that purple sometimes looks too dark and morbid, but I felt that some of the photos on his website looked great, so I told him to use his judgment. I perhaps foolishly told him that there were no budget constraints (I got permission first!). Overall, though, I told him that my cousin was a creative person who would have appreciated the creativity that he brings to his work and that I trusted whatever he would do. Although it is available as an option, Rainforest does not generally do the ribbons with the "Beloved so-and-so" on them, instead printing your message on a sign to be placed on the arrangements, which is a look I prefer. I typed out a summary of our conversation including the various messages in an email to send to Michael...and then in my addled state of mind, hit "Save" instead of "Send." And then I left it there for a week. O_O A day before the service, I received a very kindly worded email from Michael asking if I'd had a chance to decide on the exact wording I wanted yet and that they would come in early the next day to print it out before the service. Thankfully, I was able to send off my email immediately so that they could do it right then and there. No scoldings from him even though I definitely deserved it. When I arrived at my church the next morning, I saw the most stunning floral arrangements I have ever seen in my life. I am tearing up just thinking about them. I know many people think flowers are stupid and frivolous, because they do not last. But to those like me who love and appreciate them, the memory of their beauty truly lasts forever. The pieces Michael and his team put together meant so much to my family and me in our time of mourning. It may seem silly to attach so much meaning to something like this, but they really did bring us comfort in a time when we needed it most. On a final note, the prices were quite comparable to other florists in town. In fact, I would say that the visual impact was far greater to anything we would have gotten for the same price elsewhere. Mahalo, Rainforest.

    Beautiful, earthy, Capricorn Birthday arrangements from my favorite florist back home! She loved it :-)
    Millie H.

    I've been going to Rainforest since they were at their Ward location and I just love the various of flower arrangements that they offer, it's one of kind. Each have their own personalities of uniqueness and beauty when magic happens. You can't always get the same floral arrangements whether it be for funerals, proms, lei's, Birthday's and etc. it has its own... usually, I would go in, place an order, and pick it up but being that now I'm out of state :-( and it's my best friends birthday, Rainforest is my first option to call. However, I have to apologize to them because I keep forgetting our time zones are different and I think I called an hour to early before they actually opened up but, they answered and was very nice in taking my order and I had fun describing my friend and just the array of arrangements they put together is spectacular. It was funny though, my gf who never gets flowers was the very one by "CHANCE" to intercept the driver at her workplace and was soo shocked it was for her! Lol... she told the delivery person "ohh that can't be for me because I never get any flowers but, I'll take you to that department because I'm heading that way!" lol and the delivery person said "well, what's your name it's for a _____!" She was soooo stunned! She immediately called me and almost wanted to cry and was soo in tuned with all the mixtures of colors! Usually, we would go out for dinner or get her jewelry but, because I'm not there physically and she's super picky with her jewelry I had Rainforest on my mind and I am soo glad I called and they were able to make it happen and make her day! Mahalo Piha e Rainforest Florist!

    What I thought I ordered

    My family and I have been ordering from Michael Since 2014 from all over the US. Not all same names so he may not be aware. This order was done over the phone. I asked if he wanted me to text or email a photo of the one I wanted but he said 'No need I know which one just we will leave the orchids out' I agreed. He later said I never asked if he wanted me to share the photo. I was willing to pay $300-400 for this client as I know the amazing arrangements from Rainforest are pricey. When the client, who has been overly kind to me and has a terminal situation texted me what he got my stomach dropped. It was by far the most dark and depressing thing I'd ever seen and I found myself apologizing and sending the client the photo of what I expected it to be. In trying to mitigate this situation with Micheal he became irate and insisted that I was not specific , that I never asked to share the photo to be sure etc. When I tried further to get him to talk to me as I was willing to pay extra to send the correct one, but he didn't know that as he refused to speak to me, I made it clear that he then left me no choice but to write this review. Sadly I will not go back to Rainforest, nor will my family. Had he agreed to hear me out when I suggested we speak to work this out, he would have made Double and kept a client. I won't be going back for more abuse, as That is what I got, No Service At All, just untrue abusive accusations. As an afterthought I just read some of the other 1 star reviews and I was shocked to see that I'm not the only one! Apparently this man seems to have a personality issue and trains his staff to have the same. Now I'm APPALLED!

    gorgeous arrangement arrived to family next day
    Andrea N.

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience with the folks at Rainforest! I'm from Seattle but a family I am close friends with has family back in Hawaii who experienced a loss. I just googled florists in Honolulu and tried to find something that seemed unique. I came across Rainforest. I called Rainforest and spoke with Michael who made the whole process simple. I had never called and ordered flowers before (I had previously ordered flowers from places online and had them shipped). I let him know the arrangement would be a for a loss in the family, that I wanted bright colors and local flowers, and what I wanted to spend. He asked me what to put on the card and it was as simple as that. The next day I got an email from a member of the family saying how overjoyed they were to receive the flowers and how beautiful they are. The family sent me a picture and the flowers were gorgeous. They seemed cheerful and beautiful and better than what I could have imagined. I loved what they did with the square vase - they lined it with bamboo. It was something I hadn't seen done before. Overall Rainforest was pleasant to deal with and the flowers they delivered were beautiful.

My father brought a huge corporate account to Cindys, which they made A LOT of money from. He had a personal relationship with the owners, which kept us loyal for decades. After my father passed, the company cut tie with Cindy's. I was devastated and didn't understand why. Cindy's always gave us the best service. Recently I found out why relations were cut. Cindy's has really changed and no longer provides the great customer service they once did. I placed a very important order for an event on the mainland to be shipped out and arrive a day before the event. I placed the order over a month in advance and was promised it would be just fine and well taken care of. Well, when the week of the event came, I called every day, multiple times a day, just to confirm everything. They won't answer their phones. I sent emails and messages through their website. Those also went unanswered. I even went to the store in person before work at 6am, nut it wasn't open yet. I had no way of getting in touch with them and wondered if they had shut down. I had to go on the faith that they have always provided us stellar service in the past. I was so wrong. Cindy's completely forgot to send my order at all, and left me without anything, the day before the event. The amount of stress I went through trying to find a florist on the mainland to provide lei was insane. Cindy's finally answered my many messages the day before. They said they could try to overnight my order that they forgot, but there were no promises it would get there on time, since the event was on a Saturday. I still have not been sent a receipt from them, which I asked for multiple times, or confirmation of the mailing. The lei did go, and my credit card got a huge charge, but without the receipt, I don't even know what I paid them for. And really, after all they put us through, they should have comped the order. My dad would be rolling in his grave to know how far downhill the company that he loved to support has gone. As for me, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I do truly hope they can get it together and grow back into the great company they once were.

Up until now, they've always done a great job, but this recent experience for Mother's Day was extremely disappointing. First, the delivery driver brought the wrong bouquet. I paid $209.41 (including delivery), but my mom received a bouquet that was clearly not what I ordered later confirmed to be a lower priced arrangement. I had to call customer service, who then contacted the driver immediately. While I appreciate that they responded quickly, it still took about 47 minutes for the driver to return, take back the incorrect bouquet, and retrieve the correct one from the truck. When the correct arrangement finally arrived, the presentation was still off. The vase was too short for the flowers, making the bouquet look unbalanced and like it was falling out. For over $200, I expected much better attention to detail and quality. On top of that, the company advertised "free delivery," but that only applied to very limited areas on the island. I still had to pay a delivery fee despite the initial mistake being entirely on their end, which felt misleading. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience, especially for a special occasion like Mother's Day. I've had good experiences before, but this one really missed the mark.
