    I stumbled upon this gem of a florist after my haircut the other day and WOW! Beautiful flowers, including my favorite that I haven't been able to find in over a year! This will be a regular stop for beautiful flowers for the house!

    This was one of the most beautiful arrangements I have ordered for someone. Gorgeous, good price and same day delivery.

    Gorgeous arrangement. Ordered online. They did not disappoint. Great choices, good prices and same day delivery. Highly recommend if you need a good local florist with a great eye!

    I called Thistle yesterday morning to have flowers delivered to my parents who are walking in the Komen Three Day. I was calling from across the country so I was taking a chance with ordering from Thistle based on the reviews in Yelp! The florist had just returned from the flower market and promised a beautiful arrangement and she delivered! The bouquet is gorgeous with exactly the colors I requested along with a few others to compliment the arrangement. The customer service was excellent and the flowers are stunning! Just the right tone for occasion.

    I am extremely disappointed with my Valentine's Day flowers. Paid $75 + $20 delivery feel for an arrangement that was no where near that value. Recipe : 3 roses, 1 hydrangea, 2 bells of Ireland, 2 stock, 2 ranunculus. The vase couldn't have possible been more than $10 from the wholesale provider they probably use. This amount of flowers is ridiculous for that amount even with the upwelling price or the holiday. The roses were anything but fresh too. The overall look was nice but not worth the amount. I hate to be the one writing a bad review but I simply cannot overlook this.

    Such a cute/good smelling shop!! I walked in and they made me a fresh bouquet in about 5 minutes :) Very friendly staff and have a GREAT price range! Thank you so much

    I called to have some "get well soon" flowers delivered to my sister. Shannon was very helpful, created a gorgeous bouquet, and delivered it the same day. I was very impressed with the service and will definitely use this place for the next occasion.

    I ordered online for an arrangement to be delivered for a birthday gift. The delivery and arrangement were great. I am told the picture doesn't do it justice and that it outshined the other arrangements the birthday girl received for her 104th birthday. Will definitely order from here again.

    Gorgeous roses from Thistle for a client's cake :)

    I came in over the weekend in a rush looking for specific florals for a cake and was met with the most helpful and generous attitude from the owner! I knew it was a busy time for them and finding exactly what I needed wold be slim but she went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of. Even if they had not had the flowers I needed I would have left this review for the sheer positive experience I had -but they did happen to have them and they were beyond beautiful. My client was extremely happy with her cake and I have Thistle to thank :)

    Brutally Honest ..

    This shop has been around for a very long time. Our company has used it to send flowers to all sorts of people for every occasion imaginable and they've never gotten anything wrong or even mildly screwed up. I even had my wedding flowers done here based on our company's experiences! Aside from the flowers, they also offer a fair assortment of gifts, accessories, and cards, all of which they're more than willing - and able! - to incorporate into a floral arrangement. If you need flowers for any reason, this place is the place to go. All in all, 5-star service at it's best.

    Cruising around OB last Sunday looking for a parking spot to sit my booty in the sand and I lucked out with prime parking in front of this GEM. I could have spent a lot more time there but the cutie was closing up shop. Even though she was closing she was so sweet and didn't rush me out ! She potted my new little babe and was good to go! Reasonably priced and she knew about my new "sweetheart" plant. So excited to visit again and buy all the plants

    Melanie was so great to work with! My partner and I gave her a very general idea of how we wanted our bouquets to look and she nailed it!! She sent some pics of her vision from our description and they were all so beautiful and the finished product was exactly what we had in mind. Colorful, fun wildflowers! On top of that Melanie was so accommodating and went out of her way to help us and make the process easy and stress free especially given of circumstances with Covid-19. If you are looking for beautiful creative flowers for any occasion and also want to support local visit Thistle.

    Thistle did such a nice job on the flowers my husband got me for Valentine's day!

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.
