Boston Flower Delivery: The Best Local Florists

Central Square Florist in Cambridge holds the most Google reviews of any shop on the page, a 4.9 from 1,467, and has been trading since 1929 by its own account. Coady Florist (4.9 from 491), Brattle Square Florist (4.8 from 256), Lopez The Florist (4.9 from 251), Nellie's Wildflowers (5.0 from 245) and Sunny Florists (4.9 from 208) round out the most-reviewed.

Those figures are Google's. The Petal Score is ours, built from those reviews for what customers say, delivery reliability and what happens when things go wrong, plus our own checks of recognition and clear prices and terms. On that measure no Boston shop is Exceptional, and six are Excellent: Coady Florist at 8.5, Lopez The Florist at 8.5, Nellie's Wildflowers at 8.4, Sunny Florists at 8.2, Central Square Florist at 8.1 and Bloom Couture Floral Haus at 8.0. The highest Good score is 7.9, which four shops share. Boston Magazine's editors' picks went to Rouvalis Flowers & Gardens in 2024, Table & Tulip in 2023 and The Centerpiece Flower Shop in 2022.

For a specific neighbourhood, a sympathy piece or a florist's own hand, go local, and 12 of the 22 everyday shops sell their own sympathy arrangements while 17 listed shops do wedding work. For the widest same-day window, the national services match or exceed the local shops: From You Flowers takes orders until 3pm on weekdays, the same as Bostonian Florist's 3pm Monday to Friday, and on Sundays four national services still deliver while only Coady Florist publishes a Sunday time among the local shops. Our testers' own orders back the national services' scores, and we earn a commission on those links.

Seven everyday shops publish a cut-off the page tracks live: Bostonian Florist by 3pm Monday to Friday and 11am Saturday; Rouvalis Flowers & Gardens by 2pm Monday to Saturday; Coady Florist by 1pm Monday to Saturday and noon Sunday, the only Sunday cut-off among the local shops; Sunny Florists by 1pm; Louis Barry Florist before noon on weekdays; and Lopez The Florist and Bloom Couture Floral Haus before 10am. Nellie's Wildflowers (before noon) and Junebug (by noon Tuesday to Friday, inside Charlestown, 02129, only) publish times the page shows but does not count live, because they do not hold every weekday.

Seven more offer same-day without a clock time: Central Square Florist, Davis & Sawin Florist, Rococo Floral and The Centerpiece Flower Shop offer it without publishing a cut-off, Chaba Florists asks for orders at least four hours ahead, Sweet Pea and Sage takes same-day orders by phone, and Micro Plant Studio & Florist offers it for its Designer's Choice only. Robins Flower Shop delivers next-day online and asks you to call for same-day.

Typical prices, the median of each shop's own listed arrangements before delivery, read October 2026, run from $75 at Nellie's Wildflowers to about $198 at Rouvalis Flowers & Gardens, with half the shops sitting between about $88 and $132 and the middle shop around $118. One shop, Nellie's Wildflowers, keeps its typical price at $75 or less.

The Under $75 view shows local bouquets at $75 or less, at the shops' own prices.

Twelve of the 22 everyday shops sell their own sympathy or funeral arrangements, and the page's sympathy view shows only those. The view opens with bouquets from up to eight shops, at their own prices. For a same-day sympathy piece, check the cut-off table, since a few shops publish a time and more offer same-day without a published time. For a service beyond the shops' own delivery areas, the national services deliver through local florists and may be the simpler call.
