Scotts Flowers NYC
Local shopGarment District
All-occasion Midtown florist, family-owned
Typical price$220+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm Manhattan, 10am outer boroughs
Outer boroughs 9am to 6pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
Scotts Flowers runs like a Midtown workhorse that has been at it long enough to know the city's rhythms. The Garment District shop sells seasonal and best-selling bouquets, Bloom Boxes, a gifts line with candles and chocolates, and recurring brand and lobby arrangements for offices. Google reviewers keep coming back to the orchids, the flower quality and the handwritten notes. Most listed arrangements run $50 to $850, with a median around $220; The Libra at $145 and Modern Roses in red at $125 are signature pieces. Same-day delivery in Manhattan requires an order by 2 PM EST, and by 10 AM EST for Upper Manhattan and the outer boroughs. There is an $85 delivery minimum, and wedding work has been paused since the pandemic. When I reviewed Scotts in September 2025, I noted consistent quality and customer service that keeps clients returning. Time Out's 2025 roundup credits a run since 1982, though Secret NYC's 2024 list says 1947.
Named by Time Out New York 2025, Thursd 2026, Secret NYC 2024.
Its same-day terms: by 2pm Manhattan, 10am outer boroughs.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Please note for outer borough deliveries, our delivery time frame is from 9am - 6pm, as routes/traffic vary each day. … We will deliver your order within the selected time frame in the checkout process.”

Mahir Floral & Event Designs
Local shopFlower District
Custom bouquets and full-scale event design
Typical price$175+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Delivers daily
Andrew’s TakeClose
Mahir's spot on West 28th Street in the Flower District means you get a shop that sources like an insider. It offers custom bouquets and vase arrangements alongside plants and succulents, with an event practice covering weddings, corporate work, restaurants, hotels, holiday decor and retail window displays. Same-day delivery runs seven days a week across all five boroughs, with in-store pickup as an alternative. Most listed arrangements run $15 to $4,500, around $175 at the median; signature pieces include Lemon Luxe at $175 and Midnight Tropics at $300. Google reviewers keep coming back to the custom bouquet design and the helpful staff. Thursd's 2026 guide calls it a stop for seeing New York's floral engine up close. The shop was established in 2012 as a reinvention of Garden District, a florist with more than 40 years behind it. One gap: no delivery fee or minimum is published, so the fee appears only at checkout.

A&M Floral Place
Local shopUpper West Side
Flower boxes and modern bouquets
Typical price$140+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Pick a window at checkout
Andrew’s TakeClose
A boutique that splits its attention between the Upper West Side and Brooklyn, A&M Floral Place leans modern and composed. Most arrangements run $80 to $320, with a median around $140; signatures include the Box Secret Garden at $235 and Chelsea Morning at $175. Google reviewers mention the flower boxes, the bouquet quality, and designs that feel distinct rather than off-the-shelf. The shop also runs workshops, weddings and a recurring-occasion subscription called the Never Forget Club. Delivery covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island with a $50 minimum, and the fee varies by distance and window, shown at checkout. Note that the same-day cut-off is not published as a time, so order earlier than you think you need to. For a flower box or a standing gift, it is a polished choice.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

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.

Élan Flowers
Local shopTribeca
Refined, consistency-driven arrangements
Typical price$240+ delivery
Same-day · before noon
Andrew’s TakeClose
Élan has traded on consistency for more than 30 years, and Thursd's 2026 roundup placed it as the refined, repeat-buying choice rather than a spectacle. Google reviewers point most to event and wedding work, along with the boutonnières. Most listed arrangements run from $120 to $400, with a median near $240 and a Hand-Tied Bouquet starting at $125; Provence and Classic Élan with Secret Garden Roses each sit at $400, and installation-scale pieces rise to $6,000. Like several shops on this list, many of the listed designs are catalogue pieces shared with other florists, so the finished arrangement is Élan's own interpretation. Beyond arrangements, there are subscriptions, corporate gifting and floral workshops. Same-day delivery covers Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn and Queens when ordered by noon. For polished, season-aware gifts a client or a partner will recognize as reliably good, this is the Tribeca anchor.

Le Jardin Rose
Local shopMurray Hill
Sophisticated bouquets and wedding flowers
Typical price$145+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
If you want a wedding florist with an easy online catalogue, this Midtown boutique is a sensible place to start. It opened online in 2018 and added its 712 Second Avenue storefront in 2021, and its own copy promises sophisticated palettes and organic, emotion-led arrangements. Google reviewers spend the most time on wedding flowers and boutonnières. Most arrangements run $109 to $309, with a median of $145 in September 2026. Named pieces include the $309 Rainbow and the $235 Blessed. Same-day delivery covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and surrounding areas, though no specific cut-off is published and fees are set at checkout. One plain note: many of its listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

Black Petals Flowers

Hospital delivery specialist, hand-tied bouquets
Typical price$98.75+ delivery
Same-day · by 6pm
Delivers daily
Andrew’s TakeClose
For hospital flowers on the Upper East Side, Black Petals is the shop I'd call. It names the East Side hospitals it serves, from Memorial Sloan Kettering to Lenox Hill, and its hand-arranged, modern, hand-tied bouquets go out same-day across Manhattan and into Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, with a 6 PM cut-off and free delivery over $150 (the fee below that isn't published). Most listed arrangements run about $99, with the Signature Hydrangea at $95 anchoring the everyday end and the Premium 100 Stem Rose at $501.23 the splurge. Orchid plants, truffles, balloons and custom designs round out the offer, and Google reviewers keep coming back to the lilies, roses and sympathy pieces. Do check you're ordering from its own site, since a similarly named shop operates elsewhere online.
Its same-day terms: by 6pm.

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.

Andrew’s TakeClose
A real local shop since 1962, Matles is the one to keep in the contacts when you want a compact, elegant arrangement delivered free in Manhattan. Its own words emphasize seasonal palettes and freshness, and Google reviewers repeatedly mention tulips, roses and the shop's trustworthiness. Listed prices in September 2026 run $95.95 to $155.95, with a Florist's Choice Daily Deal from $96.95 and the Classic Love Bouquet at $139.95. Same-day delivery needs an order by 2 p.m. on weekdays or noon on Saturday. Manhattan delivery is free, while Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and nearby areas require a phone call for a fee quote. The shop may substitute stems or vases for freshness, at same or greater value. One plain note: many of its listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.
Its same-day terms: by 2pm weekdays, noon Saturday.

Andrew’s TakeClose
Since 1977, Chelsea Florist has worked Eighth Avenue as an independent, hand-crafted shop, and it says it delivers its own work rather than routing orders through wire services. For a last-minute rose order, this is the one I'd call. The style is modern and artistic, and Google reviewers keep mentioning the roses, the vases and how well the shop handles rush orders. Most arrangements run about $140, from the Perfect Wrapped Long-Stemmed Red Roses at $85 up to the Classic Love Bouquet at $200, with the Radiant Rainbow at $99.95 as the middle pick. Same-day delivery runs to 3 PM weekdays and 2 PM Sundays across New York, Brooklyn, Astoria and Long Island City, and Thursd included it in its 2026 roundup of New York flower shops. Several of its listed designs are catalogue pieces shared with other florists, so the delivered bouquet is the shop's own interpretation.

Same-day · by 4pm
Delivers daily
Andrew’s TakeClose
For last-minute same-day delivery, Ruscus is the shop I'd call. Its same-day cutoff is 4 p.m., and it delivers across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens from a 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily operation. The offer spans classic and luxury roses, seasonal tulips, peonies and dahlias, premium exotic WOW bouquets, flower baskets and custom work. Prices run from $60 for a sunflower and chamomile bunch to $900 for 50 pink peonies, with a median of $150 in September 2026. The $110 24 Roses is the reference point for a classic dozen. Google reviewers keep coming back to the custom bouquets, the roses and the last-minute reliability, and the shop backs its work with a three-day freshness guarantee or a replacement. A free vase comes on orders over $100. No delivery fee is published, so the final total will show at checkout.

Flowers on Essex
Local shopFlower District
Market-fresh bouquets, last-minute orders
Limited evidence
Typical price$110+ delivery
Same-day · by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
Last-minute Manhattan orders are this Flower District counter's comfort zone. Bill has run the shop for 42 years out of the wholesale market on West 28th Street, and Google reviewers keep coming back to the roses, the custom bouquets and the speed when time is short. Most arrangements listed on the shop's own site in September 2026 run $80 to $250, with a median around $110 across 35 named pieces. The Pleasure of Pink, at $100, and The Star Gazer, at $150, are two to know by name. Same-day runs until 5pm. It covers Manhattan and nearby ZIP codes. One quirk: the name says Essex, the address says 28th Street, so double-check you are reading the right shop before ordering. Many listed designs are catalogue pages shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

Mitaka NY Flowers
Local shopUpper East Side
Japanese-influenced contemporary bouquets
Limited evidence
Typical price$117.50+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
For clean, Japanese-influenced arrangements on the Upper East Side, this is where I'd start. Mitaka describes itself as a luxury shop blending a Japanese touch with New York-style floristry, and Google reviewers keep pointing to the knowledgeable owner and the quality of the bouquets. The offer runs from seasonal collections and a Mitaka Collection to wedding bouquets, hand-tied bouquets, orchids and plants in several sizes. Most listed pieces run $100 to $180, with a median of $117.50 in September 2026. The hand-tied one-dozen roses are $103, the Desktop arrangements run $150 to $180, and a 12-inch mixed-color bouquet without a vase is $115. Delivery is Manhattan-only, roughly below 120th Street on the West Side or 96th on the East Side, and free over $80 only to ZIP codes 10028 and 10075. Same-day delivery is mentioned but no cut-off time is published, and a redelivery fee may apply if the recipient is not there.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

Andrew’s TakeClose
There is less to work with here than for most shops on this list: the store's own website currently blocks automated visitors with a Cloudflare challenge, so I could not check its catalogue, prices or delivery terms directly. What survives is its Google reviewers, who talk most often about roses, wedding bouquets, house plants and arrangements they found beautiful. That pattern, plus its Bayard Street address, suggests a neighborhood shop worth calling rather than ordering blind online. As with many local florists, any designs shown on its site are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Until the site is readable, phone contact is the safest route, and expect to ask about same-day cut-offs, delivery areas and fees yourself.

Same-day · no set cut-off

Andrew’s TakeClose
With two Manhattan locations and more than two decades in the city, Artsy Flora handles weddings, everyday orders and corporate work from its Upper East Side boutique at 145 E 72nd Street and a Midtown West showroom at 507 W 42nd Street. Most arrangements run $85 to $500, with a median around $137.50; signatures include the Jewel of Love at $225 and Magic Spell at $300. Google reviewers mention orchids, memorable wedding flowers and bouquets that feel personal rather than formulaic. Delivery in Manhattan is free on online orders of $150 or more, and the shop also offers plants, orchids, residential and corporate design, and floral workshops. A practical note: the shop publishes no store hours for either address, so confirm before visiting. For a same-day Manhattan order above $150, the free delivery makes it an easy pick.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Our delivery times are 10am – 6pm, Monday thru Friday. … Deliveries can be made on weekends during our office hours of 10am – 4pm.”

Guerrero's Flower Shop
Local shopWashington Heights
Sympathy and funeral pieces, custom roses
Limited evidence
Andrew’s TakeClose
Funeral work leads the catalogue at this Washington Heights shop, with baskets, crosses, casket pieces and crowns all represented. Google reviewers also mention custom roses and the plant options. The site runs from a $7 item to an $800 piece in September 2026, so there is no single typical price. Named arrangements include the White and Pink Mix Crown at $175 and Sun Flowers With Babybreath at $115, both of which show the shop's comfort with full funeral styling rather than a simple bunch. Between those poles sit wedding, birthday, anniversary and new-baby sections. The shop advertises free delivery and opens every day from 8am to 9pm, though it publishes no cut-off time, delivery radius or order minimum. If you want a specific funeral piece, call to pin down the details.

Limited evidence
Typical price$285+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Daily 9am to 6pm, three slots
Andrew’s TakeClose
A recession-era start turned design house, Julia Testa began with wedding flowers from a college kitchen and now runs a Bed-Stuy production studio plus a SoHo retail flagship. The look is bold, lush, and editorial, sliding from classic vases to artistic installations. Offerings cover everyday bouquets, weddings, corporate events, and subscriptions; the Brooklyn location is production only, with no walk-in shopping. Google reviewers mention artistic design, helpful team, and easy online ordering. Our 2024 orders showed quality, care, and style, and the client list includes the New York Stock Exchange, NBC Universal, and Revlon. Listed prices in September 2026 run $145 to $1,000, with a median around $285; Mother of Pearl is $850 and Going All In $650. Delivery is flat-rate at $25 for the first arrangement and $5 for each additional within the verified zone. For gifting that reads expensive and intentional, this is where I’d start.

116 Flowers
Local shopEast Harlem
European-garden arrangements, hospital delivery
Typical price$79.99+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a broad range of occasion work in East Harlem, 116 Flowers covers everyday bouquets, sympathy, weddings and fruit baskets. Most arrangements run from about $45 to around $150, with a median around $80; the Garden of Grandeur for Fall is $124.99 and the Designer's Choice Arrangement is $104.99. Google reviewers mention roses and blue roses in particular. The shop keeps daily hours from 10am to 7pm and advertises same-day delivery across New York City, though it publishes no cut-off time. A practical point: much of the catalogue appears to be wire-network designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation of the listing photo. For a dependable Manhattan same-day order to a hospital or funeral home, it is a sensible shortlist pick.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

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.

How We Built This Page
Read How We Built This Page
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.

Latest Updates
- the page redesigned: bouquets to order for every occasion from up to eight New York shops and four national services, a live filter for what can still arrive today, and the people who worked on the page; Hui Flowers removed, since its website no longer works, and Bride & Blossom shown on the Weddings view only, since it does weddings and events alone.
- the page rebuilt around the Petal Score, 67 florists listed and sorted by band and score, two shops removed after our checks, nine more not shown while we finish checking them, and one with too few recent reviews to score.
- rebuilt as a guide to 79 florists across all five boroughs, chosen on Google reviews and press, with same-day cut-offs, prices and local bouquet picks for every occasion. Five shops held back after a review check.
- first built as a price board of the national services with a register of 40 local shops.
