I wanted to send my mother-in-law flowers for her birthday, so I picked this florist as they are…read morelocated close to her home and the reviews were good. I ordered online and asked for the flowers to be delivered before noon, as I knew my mother-in-law would be leaving in the early afternoon. When 1:00 came around, I emailed the florist and asked if the arrangement had been sent out, and got a response full of excuses about how it takes longer to package the flowers in -30 weather. Meanwhile, the delivery driver got to my mother-in-law's building half an hour after she had left, somehow got into the secure building, and then called her as he was leaving to inform her that he had left the flowers on the floor outside her apartment. When she told him that was unacceptable because she wouldn't be back for two days, he told her "you're welcome" and hung up on her. She called the shop and spoke to the owner (Stephen, apparently) and he assured her that the driver would retrieve the flowers and they would be placed in the refrigerator in the shop and re-delivered when she was home in two days. When she got home, the flowers were still sitting in her hallway and were half-dead. Also, when she asked why the flowers hadn't been delivered in the morning, she was told that I should have called if I wanted them delivered at a specific time. There is no mention of this on the website. In summary, don't expect honesty, good manners or any sort of customer service from this florist. If you order online, don't bother filling in the "delivery instructions" box because they will not read it. The flowers themselves seem to have been decent quality when they were fresh, it's hard to tell.

They did the wedding flower arrangements for my wedding cake and I was so happy with the results! I showed the flower designers my inspiration pictures and they gave me more beautiful floral arrangements than anything I could have imagined. Also, they have the least expensive flowers in Calgary. My order was only $50, whereas normally a florist would charge around $185 for the same designer-crafted arrangement. They are incredible!

Nestled inside this location is a Starbucks AND they had a hard to find studded lilac cold tumbler my friend has been looking for!!! The main reason for ur visit was to grab lunch in between hockey games. My kiddo was beyond satisfied with the in house fried chicken and momma was happy with the sides - I always love the root veggies and baked beans. We got the family meal and it was more than we could eat - even with a starving hockey player, lol. I'm happy eat in dining was allowed - Freson Brothers dining is always comfortable and easy. I appreciate the self serve water and coffee station. Two thumbs way up! We will definitely be back on our next adventure to Drumheller! (So why 4 stars insured of 5? Grocery prices here are higher than average. So if cost if your biggest concern, I wouldn't pick this as my one stop shop. That being said, they do carry a HUGE variety of options including local, organic, and their house brands).

All the baking supplies are in a kind of faux pantry simulating one's own kitchen. The produce seems to be displayed by color so one is surrounded by reds, greens, yellows and more.

To top it all off there are unique gift items on display throughout.

I went to Petals N Blooms to buy a floral arrangement for someone recovering from surgery. I met…read moreSam, who was so knowledgeable and was putting in such an effort that I just assumed she was the owner (I found out later she wasn't). I told her I wanted some white roses and carnations; she said she had no white roses at the moment, but that some beautiful orange roses had just come in. Beautiful they were! I asked her to use her judgement and put together an arrangement based on those orange roses. The result was beautiful: Sam's sense of colour and design was impeccable. More importantly, she paid as much attention to the little details (like paper and ribbon colours) as to the flowers themselves. I would definitely recommend Petals N Blooms, and would certainly go back again.

My friend sent me a photo of the arrangement when it was delivered. I couldn't believe my eyes! it wasn't nearly as nice or as full as the $45 arrangement.

They probably think you'll never know what they sent and that was true in the past. But today with camera phones it's easy to get a photo of the arrangement and know exactly what was sent.
