Extremely poor experience. Paid extra for luncheon delivery for an employee of 55 years. Centerpiece did not arrive. After multiple calls to teleflora they were delivered at 3pm. Flowers arrangement looked cheap, fake and small. Made in poor taste. MOVE ON TO ANOTHER FLORIST and don't waste $118.00 on a business that has substandard customer service and deficient products. read more

In early February a few flowers perk up the house! We stopped in to pick up a small bouquet and the friendly florist simply asked how much we wanted to spend and put together a beautiful arrangement for $10. The mixtures of greenery with white pink and purple flowers was beautiful on day one and surprisingly a week later they still look gorgeous! Flowers anywhere else for that price rarely last through a weekend, but these are still making us forget that the weather is freezing and spring is still in the distance. We love shopping local and given this experience, we will certainly stop in again! Thanks for being a good neighbor! read more

Placed a call from MA since I wanted a local florist. The owner was very nice to talk to and glad I took the chance. I'm sure I'll be ordering again since my daughter just took a job in Pittsburgh. read more

Used our local South Side florist for a South Side friend. They did a beautiful job and was a better value than the other national chains. Felt great to support a neighborhood business who did a spectacular job. read more

Cyril recently helped me recreate my wedding bouquet so that I could dry out the flowers and create a shadow box to cherish the memory. After a lot of back and forth through emails, I stopped in the shop to discuss exactly what I was looking for. Cyril was SO patient and helpful throughout the entire process! He was able to identify the flowers used in my original bouquet, and offered tons of helpful advice. He was able to match my original flowers almost perfectly, and even hand picked some of the smaller flowers so they would fit my project better. After picking up the flowers, I dried them using Silica Gel, and arranged them into a shadow box. I'm pleased with how the project turned out, and I couldn't have done it without Cyril's help! read more

I recently called to request cur flowers and was disappointed by the outcome. The number of flowers I was told to expect were a little over half of what I received. I would not reorder from them again or suggest doing business with them to any friends. read more

I have been living in Pittsburgh for almost 3 years now and buying flowers through Cindy was the best experience I've ever had with any business in this city. I needed last minute flowers for my anniversary (that I forgot about) and Cindy was able to put together an AMAZING bouquet for me in under an hour. Cindy was so sweet and helpful, I hope everyone has the same experience I did. I will be buying all my flowers from Cindy going forward :) read more

I have ordered from Essers for a while and have always had good results. Now that Cyril is gone I was not sure of the service. I called and ordered valentine flowers and asked if they could be delivered to South Park since we had moved out of the city. Their answer was yes. I placed my order and when the bouquet came it was gorgeous. I would recommend Essers read more

My son lives in South Dakota. He ordered flowers for me for my birthday on the morning of September 15. To be delivered on my birthday September 16. They never came. No one acknowledged our phone calls or emails! ! They were delivered the next day on September 17 with a note, sorry for late delivery. No common courtesy to give us a phone call. Very disappointing. read more

Called for an arrangement for pickup, told the person who took my order that I would be able to pick the arrangement up at 5:30pm. She asked if I could get there any earlier, I said I would try my best, but I work until 5pm, so maybe not. She said ok. Comes to be 5pm and I get a call from a guy at the shop asking where I was! The lady who took my order wrote down that I'd be there at 5pm. I explained that I never said that and picked the arrangement up a little before 5:30pm. Arrangement was just OK. I specifically wanted a lot of orange flowers, which they did, but they added strange colors with the orange... and some of the flowers were already a little wilted. Even though the location is convenient, I will probably go elsewhere for a flower order next time. read more

I would give our experience zero stars. Possible negative stars. It's Valentine's Day. An order was placed weeks in advance for a delivery. My boyfriend went to the shop to ask where the delivery was and the woman at the counter could not have cared less that he was perturbed. Weather conditions are not ideal for deliveries today but no attempt was made to communicate that the delivery would be delayed. Just a little "hey, someone is sending you something special, we're doing the best we can". Placate us! I received a call at 5:30 saying I needed to be home to receive the delivery! Where's the surprise in that? What if it's just a regular day and I'm getting surprise flowers, would I have to get them myself if I wasn't home? Well, my flowers are not being delivered today. My arrangement is sitting at the shop because I was chosen to be the loser of "who gets their flowers on time". The surprise of my arrangement was also ruined by the shop when they said what it was, how beautiful it was and I'd be very happy. Well, we're not happy at all about the service. At all. Don't know how this place is still in business with the awful customer service. Edit: my flowers were delivered at 1:05 on 2/15 after I told the shop they needed to be delivered by 1:00. They were given a range of 9-1. I was offered a box of Whitman's chocolate as an apology. Really? How about a refund. The arrangement my boyfriend selected is gorgeous but the flowers are wilted and spotted already. I'm pretty sure they ruined any future chances of me getting surprise delivery flowers. read more

Cyril created the most beautiful floral arrangement for the funeral of a dear friend's wife. I have not seen so many beautiful flowers colorful yet understated. It was just gorgeous. Our 6:30 Mass pitched in and Cyril definitely went above and beyond my expectations. I will be using him again and again...And as another has said, it's so nice to support a neighborhood business. Thanks Cyril. read more

Ordered flowers the day before my mothers birthday. She received them the day after her her birthday. Tried calling and emailing this business and no one would return my calls. Terrible service and no communication or reason for the day late delivery. Find another floral shop. read more

I was looking for a florist to deliver flowers for me as I live in Texas and Cindy Esser's had the best floral website I have ever seen. It was so easy to work with and order. I also, just recently, went into their store and the staff was fantastic. These guys know their stuff and do great work. read more

Not being swayed by the fact that I'm related to the owner - This shop goes above and beyond your expectations. Their logo is actually from my wedding and I was astounded by it's beauty. Cyril will do what you want and more - believe me when I say, he's the man for the job. read more

My daughter who is a student who lives off campus at Duquesne often goes in to buy flowers for events at this shop and raves about the personal warm service from Cyril. My daughter was having a difficult day and I thought who best to call to brighten her day...the flower arrangement they made her was perfect to brighten the day. Thank you for such personalized caring service in the neighborhood my daughter lives in. read more

I would leave no stars if I could. Literally just walked out ..we asked how much a bouqet would cost on his site and he flipped out saying he is not playing our games...all we asked was for a price for my bridal bouqet and he was VeRy rude! read more

The order process went well and the delivery arrived in a timely manner. I saw a picture of the flowers my friend received and the arrangement wasn't even close to what was pictured on the website...a lot more filler flowers despite ordering the premium arrangement. I picked this place specifically because of what they offered despite other cheaper places in the area. I am disappointed because I wanted the best arrangement possible for my friend who is going through a tough time. I will not order from this place again. read more

I have received 2 beautiful bouquets from here recently as a gift from my boyfriend. Both of them were gorgeous and lasted a long time!

We ordered our wedding flowers from Esser's and they turned out to be absolutely beautiful. After a negative experience with another florist, Esser's did exactly what I asked and everything was lovely. We also thought the price was very fair. 100% recommended! read more

I ordered my fiance a small, fall arrangement. It was supposed to be full of gerber daisies, with each one costing around $3. Therefore, I was told that for 7 gerber daisies, along with some other berries and filler flowers, the total would come to around $23. The arrangement showed up with TWO gerber daisies, pathetic looking fillers, and they charged me $35. I won't call here again. read more

i had a fantastic experience here. I got to the shop just before they weer about to close, but the owner was very gracious about creating an arrangement for me. The flowers were lovely. I would make a special trip just to purchase from this shop again. read more
