We had such a wonderful experience working with this florist for my grandmother's funeral flowers. After calling several places, he was by far the most helpful, accommodating, and kind. From the beginning, he stayed in contact with me, answered my questions, and even texted me throughout the process, which made everything feel much easier. My mom and I traveled from Texas to the Bay Area, and he took such good care of us when we arrived. He patiently showed us all of our options, helped us make decisions, and was very reassuring during an incredibly difficult and emotional time for our family. Planning funeral arrangements while grieving can be overwhelming, but his kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made a real difference. He is a wonderful business owner, and we are so grateful for how he treated our family and helped us create something beautiful for Granny. read more

I needed a bouquet to be delivered for a funeral when I realized I might not be able to attend because of the distance. What I got was a lovely young lady Shayna who was so nice and willing to take and deliver my order even though it was a little farther than they deliver. I told her what I was hoping for and she made adjustments to my order. When arrangement was ready for delivery she sent me a picture of the finished product as I had requested. Delivery was on time and I couldn't be happier for the total interaction I received. I completely endorse Solano Flower Shop and all who were involved in preparing my order for a special family. What beautiful flowers! read more

I received this gorgeous Orchid as a gift, which was prepared and delivered by Solano Flower Shop. The picture does not do it justice. The plant is very healthy and the blooms are incredibly rich colored and plentiful. It's a definite show stopper. I will keep this business in mind the next time I want to pick up or send beauties like this to someone I care for. read more

What I ordered and what was delivered do not resemble each other AT ALL. The first one is beautiful and mostly flowers. The second one has very few flowers and is a lot of baby's breath. Baby's breath isn't in the original bouquet. read more

Amazing service! Every time I come here at the last minute. And they're able to put an amazing piece together for me. Would definitely recommend! Fairly priced. And a very nice selection. read more

The people here are very friendly and will do exactly what you need. The flowers were wonderful and reasonably priced.

Amir is my new favorite person. Loved my experience from having an initial phone call, sharing some challenges I was having during the planning of my Grandma Crissie's memorial, and Amir came through. I pulled reference images and showed him, we spoke details over the phone and then I came by the shop to see him. Amir went BEYOND with how well he executed the vision and topped the reference images. I ordered two custom arrangements in advance and was able to drop off some vessels I had, since my vision was very specific. I cannot stress enough how happy seeing the arrangements made me. It brought me so much peace to know my Grandma's life and legacy could be celebrated in such a beautiful way. Amir's work was worth every penny, I feel like he exceeded the vision and expanded it with his own level of creativity and sense for beauty. This will be my go-to floral shop from now on. Trust my recommendation, if you are looking for a florist or need a new one. So good. Amir is the best. Great customer service, super responsive and understanding of specificity. Excellent!!!! read more

For many years I've ordered large arrangements to be delivered to businesses so that I can commentate an important person. Each year Amir does a spectacular job with them and they are delivered precisely per my requests! I highly recommend Solano Flowers for any size floral arrangement. Amir is the best! read more

There are a lot of flower shops up and down Solano Ave, but I'm glad we continued our hike toward upper Solano to get flowers from Amir at the Solano Flower Shop. Amir was incredibly attentive to our needs and wishes as we needed flowers for a family funeral. He asked all of the right questions about where the flowers would be placed, color preferences, etc. and was able to deliver the flowers within our budget. The flowers were beautiful and perfect - we appreciated the care that he took in crafting the arrangements and will return for future floral arrangements. read more

13 days after Valentine's Day and these roses still look amazing. Thank you Mr. Amir! read more

Amazing service and beautiful arrangements. I always enjoy coming through here. Amir is all heart.

I bought some roses for my wife's birthday here. The gentleman who took care of the design was extremely helpful and even helped put a seat belt on the flower/vase/box when I picked it up. He was very friendly. So sorry I forgot your name. I'm so bad remembering names. Thank you for your amazing service. The flowers were beautifully and artistically designed on the vase. Not your basic run of the mill roses vase design. The flowers lasted so long as well and kept beautifully. Will definitely go back! read more

The flowers are beautiful, however, I ordered them on 11/4 for a friend's birthday which is on 11/11. I ordered them in advance because I will be away next week, however, my ordered was delivered on 11/5. When I called to report it they offered to deliver another arrangement on the correct day free of charge. At this point I would definitely recommend this business. The flowers were beautiful and I received great service read more

Solano Florist, Amir specifically, creates the most beautiful arrangements for every occasion. It is a joy to send and to receive flowers from Solano Florist. read more

Here are the pictures. You can all decide if my complaint has merit. I called flower shop, and talked to the owner who made the arrangement himself. He insisted that what he sent was even better than what I ordered. I don't think so. The only positive thing was these premium flowers were delivered on the date that I requested. UPDATE 1/16/2019 When I ordered, I requested the photo be sent to me of the arrangement that was delivered. Shop sent me email yesterday, and the picture included was the one in the catalog NOT the one delivered. read more

Amir is an artist. He put together an exquisite bouquet for my daughter's birthday and she was completely blown away at the special-nous of it all! He was flawless in pulling the order together, my long-distance and dictated note and delivery was spot on! Walton read more

I had seen some of Amir's work because my former boss was one of his clients (I had the luck to get one of his giant arrangements after a holiday party!). I knew that she had excellent taste, so when we decided to get married (elope) in SF, I wanted him to make my bouquet. I was NOT disappointed! He did a great job listening to what I wanted, and looking at the pictures I had on my phone from Pinterest to give him a better idea what I meant. He even had me email him the pictures so that he would be sure to match my vision. Although it turns out that I have very expensive floral taste, I feel confident that the price I paid was fair, given the flowers I wanted and the time he had to put into constructing the arrangement. He said he spent 3 or 4 hours wiring teeny stephanopsis blooms and gardenias. I am so happy with how it all came out! Even though he warned me that the gardenias would be wilted by our reception the day following our ceremony (as flowers without stems are wont to do) they still looked really good - maybe 90% as good as they had the day before. Which was still really good! I clipped off a couple brown petals and they were good to go. After that, I was able to deconstruct the bouquet and enjoy the roses and freesias for the rest of the week! I highly recommend Amir for anyone who is *very* particular about their flowers! He will make you super glad you went to him! read more

I was in a tough spot when a national florist, Ava's Flowers, called me late in the day and said they couldn't deliver a promised 'Same day delivery' that I had ordered earlier that afternoon. I entered the address for my VIP on Google Earth and saw Solano Florist a few blocks away. I called and explained my situation. Not only did they calm me down, but they delivered an AMAZING arrangement to my VIP within a couple of hours. The VIP stated that it, "Made her year." Thank You! You have a repeat customer for life. read more

I would not use this florist again. My price range was $50 plus delivery for a bouquet of fresh cut glowrrs ($15 locally). The guy on the phone said $50 was the starting price. Felt a little price shamed by him...Granted that's not extravagant budget, but there was no vase involved and the brown craft paper was minimal. The arrangement was mostly Daisies and fillers with a few roses and no card was attached. $70 with tax. I think that should buy you a somewhat decent bouquet. I've seen better ready made bouquets at Costco! My friends randomly emailed to see if I sent them. read more

Amir helped us with some last minute floral arrangements for an Easter brunch and they were beautiful! We told him the colors we liked and he put together three terrific arrangements and personally delivered them the next day!! read more

Amir is the most wonderful florist! Very talented with color and arrangement and he always makes gorgeous, fragrant bouquets perfect for every occasion or reason I need. I've been getting bouquets from Amir for many years. He is very friendly and knows all his regulars and jokes with the kids. It's always a pleasure chatting with Amir and the bouquets are superb. He also provided the flower arrangements for my sister's wedding and my parents anniversary party. If you are considering florists for an event or occasion, I could not give a stronger recommendation for Solano Flower Shop! read more

Fantastic customer service! Given that this past weekend was Mother's Day, I was worried I would have difficulties. Very fortunate to have reached out to Solano for my wants! Very helpful, courteous excellent! Next time I order flowers in this area they will be my first choice! read more

I was very surprised to receive a stunning Mother's day bouquet prepared by Solano Flower Shop on a Sunday morning when most everything is locked down due to Covid-19. Very nice arrangement and fresh flowers. read more

I've been here three times now, and every time has been a pleasure. I like to bring little bouquets when I go to dinner or to visit people, and have come in, told them how much I'd like to spend and suggested some colors, and they've made lovely little arrangements. I really appreciate how nice everyone is that they listen to what I need, and are happy to keep it within my (very limited) budget. They've taken the time to add interesting greens to every bouquet, and to wrap them with different, complimentary decorated cellophane and ribbons. I'm a fan! read more

Excellent service!! Great selection of fresh long lasting flowers, beautiful potted orchids and plants plus they are locally owned

Quality, fast, and friendly. Amir and his staff will get you whatever you need, whenever you need it. From his beautiful stock of Orchids to his picture-perfect long stemmed roses, Amir keeps all my loved ones well stocked with beautiful (looking and smelling) flowers whenever I call or come in. Friendliest business on Solano, thanks guys! read more

Amir (the owner) is not only an amazing florist, he's an amazing person. Picking flowers with him is always a treat - he has an amazing eye and I've seen him do flowers for pretty much every type of event. He nails it every time. If I could give more than five starts I would. read more

Never. Again. I've never had a florist screw up my order this much, then show not only no remorse, but simply ignore my call. They were birthday flowers, asked to be delivered on a specific day. Suddenly, 6 days before the event, the flowers arrived (the recipient was out of the office that day) for no apparent reason. AND my name was not on the card! Furious, I called the florist. The woman answering the phone had zero sympathy and zero emotion. She said "so what was the problem? It was delivered on the wrong day? O.K., someone will call you back." NO ONE EVER CALLED ME BACK. I'm STILL angry about this. read more

Amir did such a fantastic job on flowers for our wedding. I'm not super into flowers, but Amir took the time to walk through the space, and to really understand what I wanted and he gave me recommendations as well. I was blown away by all of the arrangements at our wedding and my bouquet! Amir was great. If you need a florist, Amir is your guy! read more

I ordered flowers for my niece's wedding in Berkeley from this shop after carefully looking at the various options in the area. When my sister sent me a photo of the arrangement I was delighted--it truly exceeded my expectations and it had pride of place on the table in front of the bride and groom! I couldn't find an email address to write to the flower shop to thank them--so I'm writing this review. Thanks, Solano--great job! read more

I must write this praise of Amir and Solano florist who totally came through in these difficult times. I am running a virtual flower photography workshop, and needed a variety of flowers delivered. Amir impeccably delivered a wonderful selection of fresh cut flowers perfectly suited to my needs at a reasonable cost with a great delivery. I don't usually write reviews on Yelp, but I can't recommend this shop and Amir highly enough. In these sometimes dark days we need all the cheer we can get, Amir is great and so are his flowers. Help support small businesses! read more

I often try to patronize my neighborhood shops, you know, buy local and all, good for networking, etc, but when I needed a flower arrangement and was basically ignored for 5 minutes, I walked out and then went over to Solano Florist. Greeted by Amir, I handed him the vase, gave him the price I wanted to pay, and he created a great looking array of color, prompt, couteous, and professional. I'll go back for sure. read more

The five stars are deserved. It's actually hard to find a good, reliable florist. Some of them delegate to staff, who lack the experience or care that the owner would put into his or her work. At Solano Florist, the owner is always there - and it shows. I asked him to put together a $40 arrangement for someone special. Amir created a beautiful, huge bouquet, The recipient said it was the most beautiful bouquet she has received! read more

I can't believe this place does not have dozens of reviews! The owner Amir is the coolest and nicest guy in Berkeley...so friendly and always makes the most perfect arrangements for me.

He has a friendly staff, great prices and always a great selection to choose from. I also use them for sending flowers all over the country. read more
