East End Floral Shoppe

I ordered flowers for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. The delivery person went to the wrong address (apartment 501 instead of 510) and apparently stopped and had a coffee with the person at the wrong address, then finally delivered the flowers to my M-I-L. Anyone else wonder why their flowers were late? Maybe this is why! The flowers were even worse than the delivery. The arrangement picture showed large roses, along with daisies and lillies. The actual roses were very tiny. And, they turned black and DIED in ONE day! Also, the flower stems were set in a block of oasis that was floating in the top of the CLEAR vase. This looked stupid - you could see the greyish-green oasis "plug" at the top of the vase. I got the feeling that they used sub-par flowers with broken stems to make this, and that's why they had to stick them into the oasis. They could have at least tried to hide it with a wide ribbon or something. I was hugely disappointed and will never order from East End again. Go with Gidas in Oakland - they never disappoint. I've learned my lesson!

I came in as soon as they opened needing an arrangement, and was immediately serviced by a friendly and caring staff who made me a beautiful arrangement for a good price. 10/10 would buy again
