I was in a pinch to get a corsage for my daughter and Stem came to the rescue. Also, an out of town friend ordered a bouquet for my daughter's graduation from Stem and it was on the most beautiful bouquets I've seen. This sister-run business is winderfu

One bouquet

I ordered 7 bouquets at $40 each. My expectations were not especially high but I thought that they would be the quality of the bouquets at that price that they have on the porch of the shop. I was underwhelmed to say the least. I could have done a far better job myself and without the $50 tip. The woman working in the shop was pleasant and the order was ready on time. Other than that it was quite disappointing.

I bought a bouquet of flowers for my wife's birthday and the very next day the flowers were already very mushy and dying. I'm all about supporting small businesses so I'm pretty disappointed with the quality.

Brittle dehydrated roadside flowers

My family has gone here for years. The customer service has been increasingly terrible since the new ownership hired teenagers to run the desk. These unwelcoming little b's will walk right by you without so much as a greeting. The counter employee from this morning literally rolled her eyes when my husband asked for a tropical bouquet. Lol it was his very first question after saying good morning to her! He was told that none were available even though he was the first customer of the day. So he asked if something colorful could be arranged from the fresh wall of flowers behind her...there were hundreds of loose flowers in buckets like any other flower shop. She said no, he could only choose from the tiny cheap looking arrangements at the desk. It was the oddest thing. Unfortunately the mini dehydrated bouquets were the only colorful option. My husband added a greeting card to his order. The charge for tiny dead flowers and a flimsy card was $60! Never going back here again.

The initial quote of $50 each arrangement and bouquets given by STEM FLORAL before changing it  to 200$ instead of $50.

Another Greedy business. Planning a lunch party a month ahead, naturally I end up at Stem Floral asking for a quote because its my neighborhood. A Nice, polite and knowledgeable employee called Ella, greets me nicely and after discussion about my needs, gives me a detailed quote according to the flowers, #of blooms and greenery selected, # of bouquets and # small arrangements I want and it ends up about $50 each items. Total order would have been at the end, something around 500$ or more cause I was planning on ordering a few more. Happily, I get a screenshot of her quote and leave. back home, I send an e-mail confirming my order, the price and telling them I'll come to pay a deposit the next week. When I get there, Ella wasn't at the store and another person asks me the occasion and I disclose that it's an "engagement lunch party". She tells me the price might be more like $60 than $50. Ok. I am not thrilled and I am wondering if it's because they now know it's an engagement party..so they want to charge more? The young lady doesn't appreciate my comment and is being agressive limit rude obviously frustrated. As a customer with a quote from them in hand, I feel offended. She says to come back and discuss with the owner ( Madison) who happens to be her sister... I come back this time with my daughter to finalize and pay the deposit. The owner à first is not very welcoming when she sees that it's me, she has the initial quote I was given by Ella in her hand : per items (25 to 30 blooms + greenery) I and Ella had selected according to season. Ella is still nowhere to be found that day. Madison (owner), tells us that engagement arrangements and the bouquets are going to be $200 each instead of $50 originally quoted. ! and that her employee Ella, was out of her mind to offer a bouquet at 50$. I mentioned my surprise specially when her sister had told me it would be likely $60.... Naturally, we did not use this greedy business, we found a ton of other places cheaper who care about treating their customers with respect, and we went somewhere else where we finally got our fabulous arrangements and bouquets and where the initial quote matched the final price. In addition, we were treated with respect and professionalism and the content of the arrangements and the bouquets was more classy and spectacular than what Stem floral was offering.

Phenomenal Last min Lily bouquet

A. N. O. T. H. E. R. gorgeous bouquet. Check out attached pic. Done in ~15mins. Totally budget friendly! Im just completely floored. Again. Please never leave Scripps Ranch Stem Floral! I will invent reasons to get flowers here as much as possible.

Gorgeous Tropical Bouquet- perfectly splendid!!
Anna B.

OMG- am I happy my boyfriend found this gem!!! We celebrated our 3 year anniversary and he surprised me with a HUGE beautiful bouquet delivery! Listen, I've been blessed with many flower arrangements in my lifetime. But THIS one really takes the cake! Birds of Paradise are my favorite and the ones they included in this arrangement are beyond gorgeous and unique. The whole bouquet is so uniquely beautiful! It's the "tropical" bouquet which even has little baby bananas and a mini pineapple! Have you ever?!?! I will definitely come to the shop for any future flower needs! Let's support small businesses like this during these challenging times- especially when it's obvious how much passion they put into their work! P.S. the delivery was on time and she was super friendly! The vase is even pretty!

STEM Floral made my wedding day a true dream come true. The flowers were BEYOND my expectations, and the bouquets, sprays, centerpieces and more were perfectly constructed with the most amazing variety of florals I had ever seen. Maddie and Andi went above and beyond for us, making special pocket square boutonnieres at short notice. STEM Floral provided amazing quality at reasonable price and I will recommend them to everyone for any event! We loved supporting a local Scripps Ranch business for our big day, and STEM floral was friendly, helpful, and creative. Pictures attached!

STEM did my wedding bouquet as well as headbands for our daughters. The flowers stayed fresh and beautiful even from flying from SD to Portland for the wedding. Whenever we have a holiday, birthday, or big celebration, we always come to STEM for our flowers.

Mom and her flowers!!

Ordered a large flower arrangement for mom's 80 birthday. She loves bed near by at The Glen Retirement Community. Big and beautiful arrangement!

Bridal party florals

10/10 would recommend! Maddie and her team put together the BEST florals and arrangements for my wedding. They were delivered and set-up at 2 locations with the most gorgeous and fresh flowers. Everything was coordinated perfectly, was easy to finalize payment, and the flowers were better than I ever could have imagined. Thank you so much to the amazing gals at Stem Floral!!

I love STEM floral! Their arrangements are always beautiful and unique. They even called to let me know my flowers had been delivered since I was unable to come to the door. Totally recommend!

When i found out at 3pm the flowers were not delievered i called to ask why. The calendar on their website at end of month is a rolling calendar vs month youre in so I made a mistake and ordered for March vs February. Fair enough, so since the flowers werent delivered that day before 1, I asked for a refund of the $10 rush fee. The manager, got sassy and was extremely rude with me and told me no. They were sticking with original order. I told her either refund me the $10 rush fee or refund me the entire order of $200 (ish). She said she would rather lose the order than refund me the rush fee. I got my refund and cancelled the entire order. Whomever this mgr is who took my call....she needs a lesson in customer appreciation and not to be sassy when people are calling. 0 stars if possible! in response to the post...i did not ask for a refund of the purchase AND free flowers. I wanted the flowers...why would i want a refund and to deliever the flowers. no one works for free! I wanted a $10 refund but the gal who called me wouldnt listen, was snappy, and short.

She even gave me the personalized ribbon free of charge. When the arrangement was complete, she texted me a picture of the final product.

I found out via…read moreemail the morning of delivery, that apparently Chula Vista is not within the scope of delivery for the flower shop, as it's too far. This was not indicated at all during the order process so was very off putting to hear day of for a Mother's Day arrangement. I am currently out of state for work and an unknown number was calling my cellphone, it was the delivery driver from a trusted florist that was sublet to take care of my order. The driver was going to deliver to the wrong address even though she read the proper address back to me over the phone. I spent about 10-15 minutes on the phone walking her through finding the location of our home and verified delivery via camera and doorbell. When you're paying a premium price to have something done properly and this is the outcome, it was extremely disappointing. I will not be using four seasons flowers for any special occasion again, big let down on many levels. 5-10-2026: To the owner of the shop that just replied back to my review. I am not sure how much more clear I can make this to you, the CORRECT address was provided and everything was filled out appropriately on my end, I am not understanding why you are harping on the fact that this was an online order, if your operation doesn't have the capacity to accommodate this then don't offer it as a service. There is absolutely NO difference in placing an order in person, over the phone and or online. The "trusted" florist you decided to pawn this order off on still attempted to deliver to the WRONG address. Nothing about this was as a success and I cannot believe you have the audacity in a public platform to try and deflect the way that you are. I spent 10-15 minutes on the phone with an elderly delivery driver explaining to her very kindly, that wherever she was going was not the correct address, I am struggling to understand what about this are you not understanding? I am absolutely flabbergasted that instead of reaching back out in attempt to correct the issues, especially in a review, this is your stance. Your address is irrelevant when you're listed as one of the top rated florists in San Diego, if you didn't know, Chula Vista is 100% part of the city. Adding photos for context, maybe you want to rethink your "trusted" partnership approach. Pretty ridiculous again your take on things. Will NEVER be using your shop again and will be sure to spread the word to friends and family to steer clear of your establishment! Very funny that the florist is claiming this is the first email they received, my first communication to them was not the one they decided to include in their review, don't believe everything you read. The owner is incredibly defensive and does all that she can to deflect and spin any negative review to benefit her operation. Go and check yelp and google and get a kick out of it if you have time. The only thing good that came of this after airing things out publicly was a refund.
