Marine Florists
Local shopFlatlands
All-occasion Brooklyn florist since 1898
Typical price$92.50+ delivery
Same-day · by 3pm weekdays, noon weekends
Andrew’s TakeClose
Few Brooklyn florists can claim 1898. Marine Florists has served Flatlands since then, was bought by the Tzentzelis family in 1987, and now operates a 14,000-square-foot store. It’s the shop I’d call for sympathy and funeral work; casket sprays, funeral baskets, and wreaths are a specialty, and the delivery network reaches named funeral homes, hospitals, and nursing homes across Brooklyn. Everyday bouquets and plants round out the offer, all hand-arranged and never shipped in a box. Google reviewers keep returning to online ordering, staff, and flower quality. Its December 2025 listing shows $50 to $399.95, with most arrangements near $90; Blooming Love is $99.95 to $399.95. Same-day orders need to be in by 3pm weekdays or noon on weekends, with delivery starting at $12.50 within Brooklyn.

Shannon Florist & Nursery
Local shopKensington
Forty-year family flowers and nursery
Typical price$69.99+ delivery
Same-day · by noon
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a combined florist and nursery, Joseph Perrotta and family have run Shannon Florist & Nursery for more than 40 years, and the shop reads as a plain full-service neighborhood operation rather than a design-led boutique. It handles all occasions, weddings, birthdays, sympathy and specialty funeral pieces, plus fruit and gourmet baskets, and the nursery side stocks shrubs, trees, annuals, perennials and seasonal pumpkins or Christmas trees. The reviews often mention the flower and funeral arrangements, the kind staff and the family-business feel. There is no published catalog, so call to ask about pricing. Its 2024 delivery terms cover same-day orders placed by noon, with a local delivery fee of $8 to $12 depending on ZIP code.

Midtown Florist
Local shopBoerum Hill
Hand-delivered bouquets since 1965
Typical price$75.95+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm weekdays, noon Saturday
Daily: homes by 6pm, offices by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
Since 1965, this Boerum Hill shop has hand-delivered arrangements from the same downtown Brooklyn base, which makes it one of the longer runs in this group. Midtown Florist sells everyday and occasion bouquets, sympathy and funeral work, wedding flowers, plants, gift baskets, and wine pairings, all marketed as florist-designed rather than mass-produced. Google reviewers point to arrangement quality, flower freshness, and smooth online ordering. Listed prices in September 2026 run $63.95 to $355.95, with a median of $75.95; the Mixed Rose Arrangement is $79.95 and the Forever Adored Casket Spray $355.95. Same-day order cutoff is 2pm weekdays or noon Saturdays, and its free local delivery zone covers nearly every Brooklyn ZIP code. The trade-off is that the site runs on the Lovingly platform, so some of the history copy is template-led rather than shop-specific. For a reliable, long-running local option, this is a solid pick.
Its same-day terms: by 2pm weekdays, noon Saturday.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Normal delivery times are 9am-5pm daily for orders going to a business, 6pm for orders to a residence, hotel, or hospital, and 2pm for orders going to a high school.”
Typical price from its listing of September 24, 2026.

Roses Only
National serviceLong-Stemmed roses
long-stemmed romantic roses
Bouquets from$89+ $24.99 delivery
Next-day · to NYC: order by 2pm PT
Our ReviewAndrew’s TakeClose
Tested by Briana Yablonski, October 2026: 4.8 out of 5.
Petal Tested verdicts: Top marks 4.6 and up · Recommended 4.0 to 4.5 · Mixed 3.0 to 3.9 · Not recommended under 3.0.
Briana Yablonski ordered a box of a dozen red roses in October 2026. They arrived on the chosen day, each stem in its own water bag, and still looked good on day 7. Roses Only sends roses from its own hubs, same-day by its own drivers in San Diego and next-day nationwide by courier, with a single-minded, luxury look built around long-stemmed roses and a few other stems. In Brooklyn there is no same-day option; the earliest is next-day, ordered by 2pm PT the day before. It suits readers sending a romantic rose gift where the box should feel as considered as the flowers.
Its published terms here: Next-day to NYC: order by 2pm PT the day before.
Prices are before delivery; the fee shown is the one it publishes.

Deja Vu Flowers
Local shopHomecrest
Wild, textured bouquets
Typical price$150+ delivery
Same-day · by 8pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
If you're after something that looks as if it were picked that morning, Deja Vu flowers is worth a look. Owner Bella Rapoport describes her hand as loose and natural, favoring seasonal colors and wild, textured stems gathered from local vendors and city gardens. The shop covers a lot: custom arrangements, wedding and sympathy work, corporate florals, subscriptions, walk-in shopping and curbside pickup. Its own listed prices, as of September 2026, run from $60 to $300, with most arrangements around $150, which makes sense for a BloomNation Premier Florist. Google reviews lean toward the fresh flowers, the late hours and the staff. Delivery is a genuine strength: same-day orders placed before 8:00 PM go out across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Jamaica and Flushing, with a standard fee around $20 that shifts with distance. Just note the founding year is never stated. The owner's bio is the history.
Its same-day terms: by 8pm.
Typical price from its listing of September 24, 2026.

Stems Brooklyn
Local shopBushwick
Garden-style weddings, field-to-vase flowers
Typical price$90+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
A woman-owned Bushwick shop since 2013, Stems Brooklyn began as a pop-up and now operates a 1,400-square-foot space on Knickerbocker Avenue. It’s the shop I’d call for garden-style weddings or a dried bouquet with a point of view. Offerings run from fresh and dried arrangements to workshops and full-service weddings, with wedding minimums starting at $10,000. The work is described as signature garden style, field-to-vase, no floral foam or dyed stems. When we tested them in 2024, designs felt fresh, imaginative, and natural. Google reviewers keep returning to the arrangements themselves, especially wedding and dried work. Listed prices in September 2026 run about $20 to $350, with a median near $90; The Signature Bouquet is $165 and The Showstopper $350. I also like the shop's Solidarity Sunday program, which donates selected bouquets to local mutual-aid groups. Watch out: the site doesn’t publish a delivery cutoff or fee, and our 2024 profile noted a $75 local minimum.

Jasmine's Floral Design
Local shopPark Slope
Family-run arrangements since 1985
Typical price$134.99+ delivery
Morning or afternoon delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
A family-run Park Slope institution of 41 years, Jasmine’s Floral Design covers everyday and occasion bouquets, sympathy and funeral work, roses, and weddings from a Park Slope walk-in shop. Google reviewers come back to fresh flowers and arrangement quality, with custom bouquets and funeral pieces mentioned too. Listed prices from the shop’s best sellers in September 2026 run $84.99 to $299.99, with a median of $134.99; Radiant Daydream is $159.99 and Floral Pathway $89.99. The shop is open every day, including Sundays 9am to 3pm, which is handy for weekend orders. The same-day delivery area is Brooklyn and surrounding areas, but no cutoff time or delivery fee is published, and the locations page needs JavaScript to reveal its full list. For a dependable neighborhood florist that still does strong sympathy work, it’s worth the call.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Delivery times are generalized to “morning” and “afternoon” deliveries. If you require a timed delivery, please call and speak with our designers to make those arrangements.”

FLOWERBX
National serviceShipped by UPS
single-variety bunches shipped by UPS, East Coast only
Bouquets from$100+ $15 delivery
Same-day · by 1pm
Our ReviewAndrew’s TakeClose
Tested by Andrew Gaumond, May 2023: 4.6 out of 5.
Petal Tested verdicts: Top marks 4.6 and up · Recommended 4.0 to 4.5 · Mixed 3.0 to 3.9 · Not recommended under 3.0.
The May 2023 Flowerbx order came from Andrew Gaumond, who received peonies, snapdragons and roses on time within a UPS window; the photographs were taken in Paris, so this is European hands-on evidence. Flowerbx cuts single-variety bunches to order and ships them boxed, serving Manhattan and twelve East Coast states rather than the whole country, and the stems arrive pre-bloom for composing at home. In Brooklyn, delivery is by UPS only, with no same-day option. It suits readers on the East Coast who want one variety handled simply and are happy to arrange it themselves. Its score was given before our 2026 testing criteria.
Its published terms here: Same-day to Manhattan only, by 1pm weekdays, New York time.
Prices are before delivery; the fee shown is the one it publishes.

Elegant Florist
Local shopBay Ridge
Polished arrangements at approachable prices
Typical price$74+ delivery
Same-day · by 6pm, 3pm Sunday
Daily: homes by 6pm, offices by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
If polished, gift-shop-style arrangements are the brief, Elegant Florist does it affordably. This family-owned Bay Ridge shop has been operating since 2015 on the Lovingly network, and the catalog reads as tidy rather than wild: named pieces like Radiant Rainbow from $91. Most arrangements, listed in September 2026, run from $68 to $102, typically about $74, so it suits a smart everyday bouquet or a small occasion. Reviewers tend to mention the arrangements and the wedding flowers, with smaller notes on orchid pieces and boutonnieres. Same-day delivery runs until 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 3:00 PM Sunday, and it is free inside zip codes 11209, 11220 and 11228. The one caveat: some arrangement names are shared Lovingly catalog designs, so exact blooms may vary. For a low-fuss Bay Ridge order, this is a strong option.
Its same-day terms: by 6pm, 3pm Sunday.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Normal delivery times are 9am-5pm daily for orders going to a business, 6pm for orders to a residence, hotel, or hospital, and 2pm for orders going to a high school.”

City Line Florist
Local shopCypress Hills
Family-owned funeral and hospital flowers
Limited evidence
Typical price$80+ delivery
Same-day · before 4pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
When the order is same-day and nearby, City Line Florist is the shop I'd call for birthdays, weddings and funeral sprays. Its everyday catalogue runs $55 to $200, with most pieces around $80, and the Designer's Choice Wrapped Bouquet lists at $150. Google reviewers keep returning to the arrangements themselves and to a staff that is easy to work with.
One caveat: the website runs on a wire-network platform, so many listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, and the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Delivery fees are calculated only at checkout, so the full cost appears right before you pay. On the practical side, the shop's own FAQ confirms it delivers direct to funeral homes and hospitals, and same-day orders placed before 4 PM go out locally.
Its same-day terms: before 4pm.

Cut-offs as each shop and service publishes them, in New York time, read between September 5 and September 26, 2026. A time published without days counts on weekdays only. Shops not listed publish no same-day terms. No national service has a cart at a NYC ZIP yet.
Straight Answers
These answers draw on Google reviews read on September 29, 2026, each shop's own prices, cut-offs, and terms from September and October 2026, our hands-on tests of national delivery services, our Petal Score, and our judgment on when a local shop is the better call.
Prices and fees as of the dates on the board; the board is true at ZIP 10001.
Which New York City flower shops have the best reviews?
Five shops lead on Google review volume: Moravian Florist in Staten Island at 4.9 from 3,004 reviews, Scotts Flowers NYC in Manhattan and Marine Florists in Brooklyn at 4.9 from 1,381 each, Mahir Floral & Event Designs in Manhattan at 4.9 from 1,083, and Shannon Florist & Nursery in Brooklyn at 4.9 from 715. Scotts Flowers NYC is the only one of those five with three recent press mentions, from Time Out New York, Thursd and Secret NYC. Fox Fodder Flowers and Flower Girl each carry two.
Those figures are Google's and the press lists are the publishers'. The Petal Score is our own assessment, built from those reviews for what customers say, delivery reliability and what happens when things go wrong, plus our own checks. On that measure no New York shop is Exceptional, but fifteen are Excellent: Marine Florists at 8.7, Scotts Flowers NYC and FleurDeVera at 8.5, and Mahir Floral & Event Designs at 8.4. Moravian Florist is Excellent at 7.8 on its customer record (851 reviews in two years, 9 delivery complaints). The highest Good score is 7.9, which eleven shops share.
Is it better to order from a local florist or online in New York City?
Most of the time, a local shop is the stronger call in New York. You get a florist in a specific borough, you can see the shop's own arrangements, and 62 shops publish enough arrangements for a typical price to be shown.
If you need flowers after the local cut-offs, or you are sending somewhere your chosen shop does not reach, a national service becomes the backstop. Floom and ProFlowers deliver same-day to all five boroughs, which is why they hold the two national cards on the main view.
Which New York City florists deliver same-day?
41 of the 66 shops offer same-day delivery, and 21 of those publish a cut-off. The latest times on the page are St Albans Florist in Queens and Deja Vu Flowers in Brooklyn, both by 8pm. Black Petals Flowers and Plantas y Flores Fordham cut at 6pm. Scotts Flowers NYC takes Manhattan orders by 2pm, but outer-borough orders need to be in by 10am.
After the shops close for the day, Floom and ProFlowers cover all five boroughs, and Ode à la Rose reaches Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens by 5pm for delivery by 9pm.
How much does a bouquet cost from a New York City florist?
Across the 62 shops that list enough arrangements to count, a typical bouquet runs from $40 at Pascual Fresh Flowers to $285 at Julia Testa. Half the shops sit between about $80 and $150, and the middle shop is at about $111. Twelve have a typical price of $75 or less. The numbers are medians of each shop's own listed prices, before delivery, read in September and October 2026, so a delivery fee is extra.
On the shelves, the Under $75 picks are A&M Floral Place's Coral Dream Bouquet at $55, ABC Trade Flowers' Always in My Soul Hand Tied European Garden at $65, and Marine Florists' Pink Rose Fancy Wrap at $69.99. On the Luxury shelf, Marine Florists' Peony Blooms is $199 and Scotts Flowers NYC's New York Crush is $215.
Where should I order sympathy flowers in New York City?
34 of the 66 shops sell their own sympathy bouquets, and the Sympathy view shows arrangements from the shops' own menus. Pick the borough first, check the cut-off, then read the card for the shop's delivery area.
If the time is tight, Floom and ProFlowers can still deliver same-day, but a named shop's own bouquet is the safer way to know whose work will arrive.

What This Page Is For
Petal Republic city florist indexes are designed to help you find the best local florist or hand-tested national flower delivery service for every occasion.
How We Found and Scored Shops
For New York, we've systematically researched customer reviews of local florists across popular platforms such as Google Maps and Yelp. A person checks every florist against seven rules; failing any means no listing and no Petal Score. Reviews are weighted by age: 20 or more earn a score, 10 to 19.9 earn a band only, and under 10 requires a named press pick or The Knot Best of Weddings win. No minimum star rating. We also factor in accredited awards and press mentions by trusted journalistic outlets. This page covers storefronts in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Each listed shop now carries a Petal Score built from its Google reviews over the last 24 months and our own checks of its site, press and awards.
Checked by Hand
Shops with near-perfect scores or thin independent signals got a hand check against other review sites, business records and public footprint. Five were held back: two records could not be confirmed, one appears closed, one sells to the trade only, and one has no delivery. After our Petal Score checks, thirteen more of the 79 are off the page: two did not meet our listing rules, nine are not shown yet while we finish checking their reviews, one has too few recent reviews to score, and one is off because its website no longer works.
What the Cards Rely On
First-hand Petal Republic coverage exists for eight of the 66 shops: Scotts Flowers NYC, Fox Fodder Flowers, PlantShed, Sahola Flowers and Flower Girl in Manhattan, Julia Testa, Rosehip Social and Stems Brooklyn in Brooklyn. The national services are scored from our testers' own orders.
How We Test National Services
Every national service with a Petal Tested score was ordered like any customer: we paid full price under the tester's name and address, and nothing on the order or card mentioned Petal Republic. We note the delivery window and photograph the box, card, flowers in daylight, stems, and any damage, then one photo on days 1, 3, 5 and 7. The score covers arrival, condition, stem count, varieties and colors, substitutions, packaging, the card, and longevity, with an overall 1 to 5. 4.6+ is Top marks, 4.0 to 4.5 Recommended, 3.0 to 3.9 Mixed, below 3.0 Not recommended.
Occasion Picks
Each occasion opens with up to eight bouquets from New York shops and up to four from national services. We work down the Petal Score and take one bouquet from each shop that sells for the occasion on its own site, only bouquets the shop delivers itself and never below its delivery minimum. If fewer than eight shops qualify, the shelf shows fewer; we don't fill the gaps with national bouquets. The national picks come from the services our team has tested hands-on, one each, highest Petal Tested score first. Luxury, Under $75 and Same-Day work the same way, with bouquets of $130 or more, $75 or less, or from shops that publish same-day terms. Every price is the shop's own for its standard size, before delivery.
Prices and Same-Day Cut-Offs
Prices are the shops' listed prices before delivery, checked throughout the year and last read in October 2026, and same-day cut-offs are shown in New York time with a live count of who can still deliver today.
Google ratings, review counts and press read September 24 and 26, 2026. Band first, then score, then customer and delivery record; no shop pays to appear.
