There is a great selection of plants. The owners take time to tell how to take care of your plant.

The person at the front was nice and had fair pricing. Cute plants store right in neighborhood. read more

Beautiful store design with a wide selection of plants! I appreciate how they label each plant with whether or not they're pet friendly. The staff here is very helpful and knowledgeable! Inventory may fluctuate; when I dropped in here, there were very few (3 total) ceramic pots to choose from, so I wasn't able to grab a matching pot for my planter. I picked up a Chinese Money Tree plant, which was lush and healthy. Overall, this is a fun place to shop for houseplants! read more

Such a pretty place. Don't expect too much plants since they have such a small selection. Kinda on the pricier side too, but it is expected in the city. They sell items that are plant-related as well if you are interested in that. Didn't try their coffee but I like their concept! read more

My favorite plant store in SF! Staff is always super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I bought a Pilea peperomioides (Chinese money plant) from here a few months ago and today on Jan 12th I picked up a split-leaf philodendron (Swiss cheese plant). Mellow has a great selection and I love that they label certain plants that are pet friendly. If you pay in cash you get a 3% discount! read more

Note: This store is actually on 1906 Fillmore St. It was formerly Plants and Friends. We came in around 2pm on Black Friday, passively looking around. There was a decent amount of foot traffic as a lot of people ended up coming in to browse. We didn't expect to buy a plant but the Peperomia Rosso looked way too awesome to not get! If you're looking for rare plants, this place doesn't have them but they still have a good selection of plants. Chase was great at providing information on the Peperomia Rosso and the other plants we had questions about. He even wrote a care card for our plant and helped us choose a pot. I don't believe they have many options for big pots, but if you're looking for 4"-10" pots, you'll be able to find it here. Prices are decent. Similar to what you'll find in other plant shops in SF. They keep the place clean and well kept. Would come back again for another plant soon! Thanks for your help, Chase! read more

I wanted to shop local for a plant to be delivered to a friend in the Mission. There was a little mixup with my order. David went out of his way to make it right. He went above and beyond to help me out. I will definitely use The Mellow in the future for plant deliveries-- so much better than a big, soulless corporation!

My favorite plant shop in the city!!! They have such an amazing selection of plants, pots, and other little goodies. It's truly such a vibe in there and the staff is so helpful and knowledgeable! Shoutout Jen who helped me curate some pet friendly and easy to care for plants for my apartment. She really took the time to help pick ones that would fit with lighting in my space as well! If you need some plants for your space or gift ideas look no further! The Mellow's where it's at! read more

This is for a plant I bought for store pickup 7/8/20. Things may have changed. I bought a medium sized burro tail and was surprised they found its condition acceptable to give to a customer. It's a delicate plant and a HUGE portion of the leaves were knocked off 10/14/22 David at the Mellow reached out to me via email after reading my review and expressed they were so sad I was not thrilled with my plant. He offered to swap my old Burro's Tail for a new one!Amazing customer service and very chunky new plant :) Picture for reference: front is new, back is old read more

Juice is perfect! First of all, I'm greeted by the cutest human on the planet with the dopest style! And then I get all of the plant knowledge I could ever ask for. Considering I'm barely keeping my plants alive. Juice was so helpful and was so patient with me... thank you so much! I hope I can take care of my plants better now. Even though I have a black thumb, I was so tempted to buy so many plants lol. When I'm ready, I'll be back because the plants were affordable and seemed well cared for! read more

Oh no! I just discovered one of the branches on my money tree wasn't rooted at all, but just a stem jammed into the soil with no roots. Update: So apparently this business is really bothered by honest reviews on Yelp and would prefer we discuss issues we have with their business privately. I've ordered from them twice, the first time a little bummed about the stumpy burro tail, but still pleased with them and supporting their business. The second time they had a sale at the end of March and I bought some more plants, this time receiving the wimpy unbraided money tree. After some hassle (their emails go to your junk folder) we got in touch and via email they suggested I bring the plant into the shop to exchange it. I decided I would rather just keep the plant and care for it. Made a Yelp review so people are aware about the quality of plants they receive via delivery and moved on. Now here's where it gets messy. They responded to my Yelp review via email, but I never saw it as it went again to junk and I didn't think to look for a Yelp response via email in my junk folder. Fast forward to today when I discover one of the branches of my money tree not only died, BUT WAS ENTIRELY UNROOTED. It's just a branch jammed into the soil, which explains why the leaves turned pale and fell off despite caring for it as instructed. I posted a video on Instagram and they speedily blocked me. I now have a lovely passive-aggressive email from them that makes it clear they are angry that I reviewed them on social media and also bringing up again that I made the purchase on sale, as if I have not earned the right to criticize bad products that I still paid for. Changing my review to 1-star and making it abundantly clear that not only should you not have plants delivered from them, but you shouldn't give them your business at all. read more

Found this lil shop through Instagram and must I say, it has to be one of my favorites!! They have a beautiful store front and an awesome array of plants. All the workers are super friendly and willing to answer any questions/give tips on plant care. I'm one who usually likes to look at the plant before purchasing. However, I have such a busy schedule and aren't always available to make it to their hours of operations (12-5PM). They were super accommodating and flexible with the purchase/pickup process. For my first plant, I had my bf come choose one, pay, and I picked it up within the given timeframe. I also got a second plant that I purchased online and again, did store pick up. Both were wrapped up very securely and made it safely home in my car! Every plant I received has been of such high quality. I've been back three times within a week and a half.. and walked out each time with something new. There is absolutely no room for self discipline and I'm excited to visit again for another plant baby!! read more

David was super helpful when assisting me picking out plants. I would highly recommend shopping here!

they have a good selection of indoor plants. The staff is very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. I bought two plants per their recommendations. They wrapped them perfectly so they stayed upright in my car. Both plants are healthy and perfectly fit in my place. I would buy again from this store. BTW, their dogs are cute too; very calm and friendly. One of them is named Mellow. How lovely. read more

They quickly became my #1 fav plant shop in SF! Most plant shops here close around 5pm, which makes it hard for full time employees to visit unless its the weekend but I LOVE that they're open til 7pm! Staff is SUPER kind & knowledgeable. They don't hover around and watch you which makes it super easy for me to shop. Their website has all the info you need and if there's something they didn't answer, you can just chat them! The quality of their plants are great as well - I didn't see a single sad plant in the store. I came here 2 times in one week and bought 3 plants. One of the days was a Sunday and they had live music right outside! It made waiting in line so much better. Gonna make my third trip in a few days!! :) You pay via Square on their phone so you can check out anywhere in the store. They also offer to wrap your plant so it doesn't get damaged during transport. Overall, REALLY amazing plant store! Please support them! read more

Wonderful local plant shop and amazing service. I purchased a plant for for delivery to Daly City. I had some questions about delivery timing so I reached out via Instagram, and they were so responsive! They also let me know I could note my preferred delivery date (so long as it fit their delivery schedule) when ordering online. The morning of delivery they sent an email with a timeframe of when to expect them, and my delivery driver texted me when they were about 10 mins away. My plant just arrived and it was in great shape. I'm so grateful for the organized, clear delivery process and fantastic customer service! read more

I'm too freaked out* to go shopping face to face and I need some joy in my home office. So I searched for the term "philodendron delivery near me" and The Mellow SF popped up. Visited their site, loaded a couple of philodendrons in the online cart, and a day later I got my philodendrons! Solid user experience end to end! *I'm not really all that freaked out to go outside. I'm just using the pandemic to further enable my laziness to move my car coz I got primo street parking. read more

I got refunded for all my items since they were not up to my standards. I was shocked because I didn't even request it. I appreciated that they really care about customer satisfaction and follow up on my feedback. Customer service worth 5 stars. read more

Update: Mellow circled back on my email and offered me a store credit or exchange. Thank you!! I am very disappointed in Mellow. They sold me an unhealthy Ficus Audrey for $100 and refused to exchange it. I sent multiple pictures and details about how the plant degraded in a matter of 10 days. All the leaves are now limp or have fallen off. I bought multiple plants from this shop and personally drove multiple friends of mine to this shop over the last two months! ‍‍‍The fact that they wouldn't do anything to help a returning customer is baffling. I am an experienced plant owner and I send a word of caution to new plant owners about this shop. Buy at your own risk . Will not be recommending this shop to anyone going forward. ‍‍ read more

I walked by this store since outside it smelt so good! The owners were smiling right when I walked in and told me about their Palo Santo they were burning (hence why it smelled so divine!) I was on my way to a yoga class so I didn't buy anything but they gave me one free Palo Santo stick (crazy nice) and made me feel special despite not buying anything. I live nearby and remember the store being an apparel store or something. My how they transformed it!!!!!!! Feels good to know that this is a store for EVERYONE to enjoy not just men. Many families were coming in and they even had dog treats for the local pups. Can't wait until they open again and I can take a workshop and buy plants. Thanks Mellow SF! read more

Had THE BEST experience with Mellow SF this past week! I am from Dallas, TX and my best friend lives in SF and I wanted to surprise her for her Birthday. I found Mellow SF on Google and so glad I did because the process was easy and smooth! You can imagine how nervous I was ordering plants for delivery and making sure all goes well. But they more than exceeded my expectations. From ordering online, to communication with staff, and then delivery (free within range) - it was all perfect. My BFF was so happy with all the plants she received, it arrived straight to her door, beautiful plants and packaging. Cannot wait to order again! Thanks so much David & Jen! read more

The Mellow is my new favorite shop! I've gotten 3 or 4 rounds of house plant purchases here, and the staff is always very friendly and helpful, both with picking out new babies to add to the family, and with tips when some of my plants aren't doing so well (pro tip: it's really easy to overwater!). Since my first visit in five months back, I've gotten seven plants from here. All alive and healthy; some growing so fast I've had to repot already! I definitely recommend for shopping online for nearby SF delivery, and visiting the shop. Both experiences are welcoming and easy, and of course the biggest measure of success for a plant shop is they have a great and changing selection of plants! read more

Highly recommend! I had such a wonderful experience purchasing my plants from The Mellow. I even reached out on Instagram as I was looking for another plant I didn't see listed on their website. They immediately got back to me and I was able to purchase it! Such amazing, friendly service. The delivery experience was also well done. I will be back for more soon. Many thanks for my beautiful read more
