Spent a significant amount of time going over everything needed for a memorial service, including the colors on every item. On a large spray ($194.00) the colors were random and didn't match the centerpieces as requested. When I called I was told that I was not clear. I mentioned it to my friend that was with me and she was astonished and quite upset that the rep had the gall to say it wasn't made clear. "It couldn't have been clearer". During one call back I asked for a credit and the amount Christi offered was a joke. The total order for this memorial was almost $1000.00. After several calls to have a credit processed I noticed that I was charged AGAIN 13 days later additional money. Then on the same day I received that amount as a credit. I called 15 days later and Christi asked if I received the credit. I did FOR THE AMOUNT SHE CHARGED ERRONEOUSLY. I never received any credit towards the purchase. I guess I must dispute the charge on my credit card. I can't even begin to explain how crazy all the calls were. I was interrupted constantly, my daughter tried unsuccessfully to get it straightened out and she was contantly interrupted, on and on.....

Cesar delivered this elegant arrangement with care, giving tips to make the bouquet last as long as possible. He was very friendly, timely and respectful. This was a gift for me and I would like to say that I scanned the user-friendly website to find a place to send my thanks in a "Contact Us" tab and realized that the stellar review would do just as well...perhaps even better. The arrangements I viewed are simple yet stunning. When looking to send an arrangement, I will be sure to find Flowers by Coley again. I review businesses often and would like to give my compliments to the florist wo put this arrangement together as well as to the person responsible for hiring this gentleman that they put their trust in to deliver each beautifully arranged piece of living art. Thank you Cesar. Thank you Flowers by Coley. I am thoroughly impressed. The photo does this stunning arrangement no justice! And to those boys who believe girls don't like flowers...because that's what they have told you...they're lying! :)

I ordered the FTD "Big Hug Birthday Bouquet" and paid extra for the "better" size which was supposed to have more flowers including RED ROSES and look full here is the description from FTDs website: "Full of color and life to let them know the party has started, this fresh flower arrangement brings together yellow Asiatic Lilies, red roses, red carnations, yellow chrysanthemums, red mini carnations, blue iris, and lush greens to create an eye-catching display. "........and the local florist (Flowers by Coley) delivered what I considered to be a watered down cheaper version without the "red roses" as advertised in the description. I called FTD to complain and they had to pickup the original flowers before they delivered a new bouquet which was STILL MISSING THE RED ROSES!! Flowers by Coley I'm very disappointed in you this was supposed to be a surprise birthday arrangement and turned out to be an embarassment.

  • Elektriclizard O.

Wow! This place was way more spacious than I thought it'd be, and they have so many cool things. They have adult themed gifts, quirky decor, the cutest purses, and stuff in different price ranges. Some of this stuff you could find in North Park or Hillcrest shops. I definitely know where I'll be doing some of my holiday shopping. The main reason why I came in was to buy some flowers, due to someone's passing. I walked in the freezer with the lady that helped me pick the flowers to make a bouquet, and she worked with my budget ($80). I even had some spare change, so I ended up buying a candle and luxury bar of soap (just as a little self-care token for the person I also bought the flowers for). Cute store.

  • Walter Dishman

Flowers by Coley made my birthday celebration extra special with their stunning floral arrangements. Their creativity knows no bounds, as they crafted the most beautiful bouquet that perfectly matched the birthday theme. The freshness and vibrancy of the flowers were exceptional, and the arrangement exceeded my expectations. The florist team's attention to detail and dedication to making the day memorable truly shone through. The personalized touch they added made the birthday even more delightful. I highly recommend Flowers by Coley for anyone looking to add that perfect floral touch to their special day.

  • Jennifer Luong

I selected this merchant based off the unique flowers that were pictured online and was excited to see what would be created; however, I am extremely dissatisfied by what was delivered. The black background (first photo) was what I was expecting but I received generic pale roses that I could have gotten from a grocery store. I also ordered the premium option but it appears to be standard with few flowers . I understand and read the fine print that flowers may be substituted, but this is underwhelming and deceiving. I will not be ordering from here going forward and would not recommend it to anyone.

  • Amy Reed

I've ordered from this florist a few times after just finding them online and the recipients have always been very pleased with the beautiful arrangements. Our latest delivery was an additional fee due to the location being further away, however I thought Coley's offerings were far and above other florists closer to the recipient's address and I was happy to pay a bit more. Her stuff is just prettier and more modern than other florists I've browsed and prices are competitive. I've never had an issue with delivery and receive email confirmation during the process. I'll continue to use them.

  • Anna Miller

I ordered premium upgraded flowers with proteas for a special friend but they weren’t available due to limitations with Covid. I received a call to see if it would be alright to substitute. The gentleman on the phone was great and noted that I wanted more of the rustic look. My friend was so impressed with the beautiful flowers she received for her Birthday. She said it was the most beautiful flower arrangement she’s ever received from anyone. Thank you Flowers by Coley! You delivered and exceeded my expectations!!

  • Beatrice Gonzalez

I had never had problems with this flower shop until today. I ordered flowers at 8am and still flowers have not been delivered. I live in Texas and my granddaughter lives is San Diego. I order flowers every year for her, I'm so upset. I called several times to see what was happening and the last call I told them to just cancel the order and they hung up on me. I called back and they never picked up the phone. It was almost 8pm my time. I want my money back!

  • Pete Ritchey

Fantastic service and results, as always. Even through an online order, they are super-responsive and actually read notes included in the orders, unlike a lot of competitors. If there's ever an issue or specific request to make, I've always had a super easy time just calling them and talking to someone. They come through time and time again. Oh, and the flowers and arrangements are always full, beautiful, and last for many days.

  • John G. Edwards

I was browsing different florists and I am so glad I came across Flowers by Coley because the flower arrangement they made for my mom's birthday is gorgeous. She loved it! They responded immediately and provided many options. They even gave us instructions on how to take care of the flowers. The flowers are absolutely stunning and I will definitely be coming back. To anyone looking for a florist, I recommend this business!

  • Jaime Carrillo

Kristy at Flowers by Coley helped us secure beautiful flowers for a fund raising event at the Japanese Friendship Garden for Champions for Health, a local non-profit that secures pro bono medical care for uninsured San Diegans, and did so at an unmatched rate. The flowers were fresh, beautiful, and helped lead to an amazing atmosphere. Thanks for your support and we look forward to more arrangements next year!

  • Jim Roland

You really need so many more stars!! We’re sending a beloved friend going through really rough health times and this company has gone above and beyond making the most beautiful thoughtful arrangements for my sweet friend and even take the time with her when the deliver to her ❤️thank you for making these beautiful arrangements for the most amazing person in the world ! My best friend ❤️thanks a million!!!

  • Rebecca Valenzuela

I love this place! It's much more than a flower shop, as it has cute jewelry, household items, lotions, perfumes, and many more cute trinkets. It's a great place to visit during lunch and relieve stress. The staff are very knowledgeable and nice. Kristy , the owner, recently helped me choose a low maintenance indoor plant for my new apartment and she was absolutely right...it's still alive and growing :)

  • Aresh Afari

Do Not work for this location in Clairemont as a delivery driver she won't tell you that she pays you whenever she is good and ready. As a non contracted driver who is being paid cash you should be paid the same day for services. Christie will lie and say she hasn't been paid for the flowers yet....but every delivery has been paid for by credit card and those payments go through immediately.

  • Zeke M

Flowers are as advertised, always fresh and top grade, arrangements and designs are very creative and beautiful. I would of giving them a 5 star but pricees are higher than most online orders, and sometimes 1 employee can make it look bad for the organization, some people are not meant to be in customers service, however, there delivery is always on time and their product speaks for itself.

  • Irene Baldwin

This is probably my favorite go to flower shop. They are extremely nice and are always professional. The owner always has a smile on her face and is happy to help even at the end of the day when she is about to close. Flowers by Coley does amazing and beautiful bouquets that have saved my butt more than once when I forget an anniversary or birthday. From roses to tulips she can do it all.

  • Taylor England

We looked all over for a florist to meet the needs of my soon to be wife and finally we're recommended to Coley's. So happy we found this jewel and so beyond impressed by the stylings of the young lady who helped us. Kristy was very knowledgeable and showed that she genuinely cared. We will definitely be back and will ask for Kristy because her first class service is priceless.

  • Sidney Owen

I have been searching for a wonderful florist to send my mother flowers in Irvine and today I chose Flowers by Coley and events not only did my arrangement look exactly like the picture it was stunning, but they got it there in a couple of hours. I am so impressed if I could give them more than five stars I would you definitely won't be disappointed with this florist!

  • Tina Huston

Ordered flowers on 7/11/23 for delivery on 7/13/23 for a client's 60th wedding anniversary. Received an email at 5:46pm saying floweres were delivered. Clients were home all day - NO flowers were ever delivered. Cannot get a returned phone call or email from owner. Have used this florist many times over the past years and have had great service. So disappointed!!

  • Victoria Williams

This place is phenomenal! It is so much for than a flower shop. The music, the whole feel of the space is just so calming and Kristy is so sweet! This place is an oasis. They have a great selection of specialty soaps and accessories. There are so many things to choose from. If you are in the area I highly recommend you stopping by and not just for flowers. <3

  • Karen Kuwahara

I came in the day before to request a flower arrangement for my Mom’s birthday. I came in with a photo and was hoping they be able to make something similar. I’m so happy with how the arrangement turned out. It is so beautiful and my mom was so happy. The photo really does not do it justice. It is more beautiful in-person :) I will definitely be back again.

  • Cnd Hooey

We found this shop due to its proximity to our event. I can say I'm absolutely amazed by them. I needed flowers quickly and not only did they provide flowers but they shared expirences with us. They have a great shop too! The arrangement itself was impressive, however the fragrance was what really put it over the top. My car still smells extraordinary.

  • antoinette kinley

I can't say enough great things about this flower shop! Flowers by Coley never disappoints when we order our centerpieces for our graduates dinner celebration at Cal State University San Marcos. For the past two years, our orders have been stunning, fresh, and always on time. It's one less thing I'll have to worry about when coordinating our event!!!!

  • Susan Friedman

I ordered the premium Wondrous Life Bouquet. Good news: it was delivered on time. Bad news: it was in sad shape. For the most expensive option, it only had 10 roses that were browning and one flower. Even the event planner said I should complain. I was more embarrassed to give this gift of dying flowers at a funeral than to give nothing at all.

  • Jack Smith

Her flowers are to die for. Flowers by Coley took care of my wedding this last weekend and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the garland down the farm table, the flower pieces on the wedding arch or my BOUQET. Oh my gosh... highly recommend her. She has her best interest at heart and does a amazing job. Thank you Flowers by Coley!!

  • Karen Pellin

They are GREAT! They always get flowers we need as a company delivered. Just recently I ordered flowers for an actress for her opening for a Broadway play in New York. I only gave them 1 hour notice and they got the flowers to the actress on time for opening night. The owner is GREAT! Thank you for all your heard work. Karen Pellin

  • carmina caballes

Coley's is a great florist. Their arrangements are beautiful. You can order online and have flowers delivered to someone. The store is really nice with a large selection of gifts. I think I've bought from Coley's for Christmas, mother's day and graduation leis in June. Everything I've ordered has been on time and beautiful.

  • Julie Crewdson

I liked that I walked into the store, where I was hoping to just buy a ready made small bouquet, a lady stopped what she was doing, gave me ideas for Gerber daisies and then whipped together a beautiful arrangement for me!! The store is usually bustling with activity, and it was nice to be treated well as a walk in.

  • Duke Hancock

These flowers are soooo bad!!! It looks like they picked up a $15 arrangement from Sams club and threw them in a vase! Not not waste your money or use this place. Totally took advantage of out of state buyer who bought them for a gift. The arrangement looks nothing like anything they have posted on their website.

  • lisa hohl

Used Bloomnation because sometimes the big flower companies just don’t deliver good bouquets! Flowers by Coley had a beautiful Sweet Tea bouquet delivered in a tea cup & saucer with a chocolate truffle for my friends 50th Birthday! My girlfriend was pleasantly surprised and loved loved the presentation by Coley!

  • None None

My parents bought me an $85 arrangement and they drop off a $20 one with no balloon. Their customer service is horrible and are money hungry mongrels. These thieves are refunding only $11 and are coming to pick up the arrangement. Horrible, awful people. What goes around comes around people at Flowers by Coley

  • Alfredo Parisian

Very nice flower arrangements. The Garden Wreath I ordered for the Urn was very close to the picture online. It was ready just as promised. I even received a reminder call for pick up. The Rose Heart I ordered was perfect. They accommodated my custom order just as requested. Thank you Flowers by Coley.

  • Diane Payne

Beautiful arrangement! My husband always orders me floral from here. I wanted an order tweaked and they fixed it right away. They always check-in before delivery and update you throughout the entire process. Amazing customer service and floral arrangements ,Thank You Flowers by Coley!

  • Bessie B.

I live in Kansas and my beautiful daughter lives in California. She sent me a video of the flowers and they are beautiful. It is so nice to have a reliable florist you can trust to deliver the very best to your loved ones. I highly recommend this florist for all occasions! Thank you!

  • Katelin B.

Great little flower shop. Was please to see they were still taking orders for delivery and pick up at their stores during COVID19. Made my request and payment over the phone then met them at the door for pick up. I would rather shop local then buying flowers at the grocery stores.

  • Lynsey Buerer

I had an issue with my order that wasn’t the fault of this shop, and they went above and beyond to correct it with an absolutely gorgeous and very fresh arrangement. The customer service is helpful, responsive, and very kind, and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to a great team!

  • Katie Farr

I was in a pinch while in town for a corporate meeting and needed a last minute centerpieces and Coley came through flawlessly and providing exactly what I needed. I don't recommend last minute but if you are in a bind and need a great product I highly recommend Coley.

  • shelby olds

I showed up at this store expecting to have arrangements ready for pick up but they don't. But they were great the made my arrangement on the spot within 10-15 mins and I chose the flowers and colors and she made it beautifully. Very happy and happy with the price too

  • Howard Eskew

Great experience! Arrangement was absolutely beautiful. Delivery was contact free and sent both a text and a follow up email to ensure we received the arrangement. Outstanding customer service. Will definitely purchase from again.Thank you Flowers by Coley!!!

  • Lauren Searles

Very satisfied with the service and quality of flowers from Flowers by Coley! We appreciate their assistance and guidance in fulfilling our order for an event we had in June. Also, their storefront is so fun to walk through with a bunch of local products.

  • Daniel Ortega

Delivery guy rang the doorbell, i opened the door and see the flowers on the ground and him almost running to his car. Absolutely horrible service. Flowers were damaged and water was leaking. Definitely would not recommend. See pictures below.

  • Julie Morrell

I really like the beautiful flowers that Flowers by Coley creates, but I was disappointed that the Orchids in the display did not appear in my arrangement. It was the reason I purchased this one. I thought the Orchids were the nice touch.

  • Wesley Koelpin

i ordered an arrangement and in about an hour it was delivered to my mother! It is beautiful and the florist sent pictures before to make sure it was what I wanted. I couldn't be happier and my mother loves it! Thank you Flowers by Coley.

  • Bianca Barlas

Went in for some flowers on my break and the woman who helped me out was very rude. She rollers her eyes at me several times and didn't ask me what I liked just my budget. Spent nearly $40 on a crappy vase and carnations.

  • Angel Servantes

prices are a little ridiculous, and I buy bouquets quite a lot but what was offered here was extremely overpriced especially for something not so extravagant. also literally none of the employees were wearing their mask.

  • Isabel Luengo

The flowers were delivered fast, and, best of all, they were almost exactly like the ones in the photo on the website. The recipient loved them! She said they were the most beautiful flowers anybody had ever given her.

  • Elvia Hill

My mom loved this arrangement I ordered for her for Dia de las Madres! The ordering was easy , the delivery was timely , and the flowers looked nearly identical to the website photo. I’m very happy with the purchase.

  • Jackson Spediacci

This place is amazing! Boutique creams, luxury perfumes, gorgeous flower arrangements, wide range of premium chocolates and very unique jewelry and gifts. Top notch everything. So much detail work on the flowers.

  • Anne Ahola Ward

If you order flowers during the quarantine know that you're doing it to support the florist. I had to pull out the roses that went bad and add sunflowers I got from the grocery store. I was pretty disappointed.

  • Steve Krueger

They went above and beyond when my girl friend didn't see the arrangement at her door. They came out at 11pm to follow up. The flower's were there. Not sure why she didn't see them. No I didn't ask either LOL.

  • Christian Marguez

We've ordered three Citrus sunset in the last month and all of them have turned out wonderfully. Super happy with the arrangements and the delivery times. Highly recommend. Thank you kindly Flowers By Coley!

  • Crissy Cabral

Flowers by Coley is the single best florist in San Diego! Their arrangements are gorgeous, their prices are great, and their delivery service is always prompt. You will never find another florist like them!

  • Catherine .DeMonte

Absolutely beautiful bouquet (the recipients sent a photo with their thank you!). Easy to order, quick and easy plus a large selection to choose from. Would definitely use Flowers by Coley again!

  • Patty Vandergriff

Worst arrangement I’ve ever had. Called to get resolution and was told to contact FTD. They weren’t even willing to work with me. First picture was what was delivered second is what was ordered

  • Eric White

Absolutely beautiful...the picture was what I wanted but what I got was far better. It made my wife's birthday perfect...Thank you Coley's for another perfect arrangement. 5 out of 5 for sure.

  • DeAndra Howell

Website is very easy to use. The recipient was very happy with the product! Only comment would be to please communicate via text or email with the sender that the flowers have been delivered.

  • Angela K Miller

Really beautiful arrangement with a thoughtful photo sent to me in email after delivery so I knew exactly what was delivered. Very much appreciated the design and the excellent service.

  • Miguel Jaramillo

Flowers by Coley will send you Dead flowers and try to cover them up with a few live flowers. Do not order flowers from them. Use another FTD florist and save yourself some aggravation.

  • pattty008

Colorful, long lasting cut flowers. Talented designers. Fast friendly delivery drivers take extra care in making sure your gift arrives to you. So Please Don't Forget To TIP The Driver.

  • Bianca Cirino

Beautiful flowers! Delivered to my mom same day and even looked better than the picture! Very impressed and worth the price. My mom was so surprised and loved them. Thank you!

  • Joan Maloney

Even though I called after noon, a stunning orchid arrangement was delivered same day. The recipient loved it - thank you so much for helping me make someone's day brighter!

  • Sanjeev Kumar

Was able to walk in and grab a last minute arrangement. They have a great selection of fresh flowers and friendly staff to help put it all together. Highly recommend.

  • Curtis Brown

It was a beautiful arrangement. It truly exceeded all of our expectations. I have used Flowers by Coley exclusively for a number of years and will continue to do so.

  • Amor Caro

I have used them multiple times for flowers and they have never let me down, friendly staff and always has fun little gifts available. Would highly recommend!

  • Manuel Ruiz

They hit a home run for me everytime. The one time I went away from them I regretted it. The quality wasn't there for the same money which I get from Coley.

  • Jessica Freck

Absolutely awful. Have received flowers from here several times and have always been disappointed. Way too much money for such a small quantity and quality.

  • Blair

Walked in to get flowers for my wife. Great service. Made a beautiful bouquet of roses while I waited. Amazing selection of gifts too! Spend your $$ here!

  • Sarah Dehnbostel

I got the middle priced bouquet. Delivered same day I ordered. Priced seemed high to me, but overall I am very satisfied and will order from them again.

  • Peg Ross

Very simple rosebud corsage-nothing special about it at all. $25 seems crazy expensive. But it was close to my office so I paid for the convenience.

  • James Rodriguez

Truly a great experience ordering flowers here. Full service flower shop. I would recommend to anyone who needs flowers delivered in this area.

  • Wendy Wozniak

The quality and beauty of these flowers is by far the best around. Whatever your occasion, you will not be disappointed by the work done here!
