Visual of the arrangement Amir did for me, for my Grandma Crissie's memorial, January 2024
Jeremy D.

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!!!!

I first came to Solano Florist looking for something better than the typical franchised shops, and I found it here. Later, I discovered that Solano Florist has contracts with many businesses on Solano, updating their flowers weekly. Their arrangements are always fresh and beautiful. Highly recommend!

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

Amir is just great as is his shop. Support your local small businesses! I get all my flowers here. Thank you Amir!

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!

See all

Amir was very informative and friendly! He was more than willing to look at me and speak clearly, as I am deaf. Wonderful service!!

Kindness warrants kindness. I truly don't understand the negative reviews - all I can think of is…read morethat people walked into Moe's with a sense of entitleme t and were unhappy when their egos got checked at the door. Contrary to what people say, you do not have to me White, or male, to have a good experience. I have lived in Berkeley for 13 years and try to support small businesses when possible. Moe's is one business I am proud to continually support. Moe is a national treasure. For years now, he has so openly and willingly helped me with custom bouquets for a variety of reasons. He is kind, he is sweet, and he is honest. You're the best, Moe!

My boyfriend is a big plant guy and we were very excited to check this shop out, but our experience…read morewas completely ruined by how we were treated by the owner. My bf gently touched one of the plants he wanted to purchase to fully inspect it before purchasing, but then the owner started berating us profusely. He went 0-100 & it was scary how deranged/out of control his anger quickly rose to. We genuinely apologized to him for touching the plant and for not having seen the very much faded and small sign that was hidden behind all the other plants. But alas, the owner kept going, escalating his anger, and began hurling insults at us calling us stupid even as we were on our way out. Seems like he's capable of being a decent human being to the others who have left good reviews. Based on this selective decency/kindness, I wouldn't recommend anyone to even take that gamble.

I am really lucky. I have the benefit of being good friends with one of the delightful florists at…read moreEmilia's. This is a double win for me, because it means that I get to be friends with someone awesome who also happens to know a whole lot about flowers! Which is exactly what I needed when planning the flowers for my wedding because anyone who knows me knows that I don't know much about flowers other than they look pretty and smell nice. Jess and the folks at Emilia's took my unclear ideas - a jumble of adjectives and a wrinkled photo from SF Bride and turned them into a work of art. I have never been too good at the small details and probably wasn't that helpful when I said things like "Oh, you know whichever flowers you think are best" or "I don't know, I kind of like the roundy, pointy, purpley yellow ones." However, the ideas some how got communicated because the flowers at the wedding represented everything I had dreamed they would be. Unique, jauntily vibrant and locally inspired. Whether it's for an everyday pick me up, a lovely hostess gift or a wedding, you can count on the florists at Emilia's to help you make a beautiful statement in a poem of flowers. I completely recommend them for lovers of floral niceties of all kinds!

Where do I begin. Went to get a grad bouquet for my girlfriend and the service was terrible. I…read moreshowed a picture of a bouquet style to one of the employees and after looking at it and asking what my budget was he laughed in my face. The selection of flowers wasn't great, including not having baby's breath available. The bouquet was wrapped hastily and poorly in brown paper with gaps in between, it wasn't cut evenly or neatly, and was crinkled at the bottom. The bouquet ended up being quite small for the price as it only had a few roses in terms of the most expensive flowers. I could have easily arranged it better by buying flowers at Trader Joe's and wrapping them myself. With the poor service and lack of attention to detail, you'd be better off going elsewhere.

My best friend came here and got me an orchid for my birthday. I picked out the Golden Yellow moth…read moreorchid which had the prettiest clean golden yellow color I had ever seen on an orchid. The leaves were light green and very healthy. Most orchids here are 45 dollars. There were many orchids but most were just nicer versions of what you can find at cheaper places like Whole Foods. There were some exotic ones that looked like giant three feet tall yellow orchid trees with sprays of tiny yellow orchids. Since the moth orchid is easy to care for, I opted for the moth. Note that the orchids priced at 45 dollars don't come with pots. The orchid is displayed in a pretty pot but the plant doesn't come with it so be prepared to dish out more cash if you want a pot too. Since I have many pots at home, we just purchased the orchid. The purchase came with a tip option which is strange since it's not a service or restaurant. The florist did tuck it nicely into a box and some tissue paper. He gave us plenty of good instructions like make sure the orchid is bone dry before watering again (every 2-3 weeks). He advised a small amount of fertilizer with each watering and no fertilizer during the winter months. After a five dollar tip for his orchid tips and taxes, my unpotted orchid in a thin plastic container came to 55 dollars. I would say that this is a great place to get orchids for a seasoned orchid lover but you can definitely buy very nice ones for about one third of the price at the local supermarkets like TJ's or Whole Foods. They also carry really exotic ones you can't find at supermarkets though I don't know how hard it would be to keep them healthy. In any case, I'm already thinking about going back to check out the tree like orchid and to talk to the florist about how hard it would be to own one. Cute place for lovely orchids but a bit pricey.
