A New Leaf

This place is beautiful, I have always loved the look and location. However, the gentleman that was working there this morning was so unaccommodating, a bit rude and really did not want to make a sale. I have noticed his attitude before, but this morning it was uncalled for. We were not asking for anything over the top and selected a small plant, and two small flowers to create something for a friend who lost a loved one. We did ask for a spot of moss to cover the bare dirt (and would have paid for it), but he essentially ignored us and barked orders to another woman who came in. Now she was very nice and helped us find a little moss, and provided scissors so we could add two flowers. So much for customers coming first, maybe he was having a bad day, but we were also trying to cheer up a friend. A little more accommodation and friendliness would have been nice. Makes me not want to go back.

I only need to say «WOW».
I called and asked for lilies to be sent to my boyfriends job the next day. I gave a price point and a color story to use. They put together a huge bouquet of flowers (much larger than I expected) and I couldn’t be happier. I made a request to have the flowers arrive around a certain time and they didn’t fail me. All in all they did a fantastic job! I’ll definitely use them again.

Nice staff, lovely little shop on Dearborn. Flower quality is very poor. Twice I have gotten flowers here and they have lasted under a week. The most recent time the flowers were brown and wilted two days later. Not worth the price!

I needed flowers for my sister’s birthday, but didn’t want to order from those online flower companies. I asked my boyfriend about where he got my beautiful bouquet of flowers from last time. Seriously, these flowers were beautiful and lasted for like 4 weeks. Lo and behold he told me A New Leaf!
The inside of this store will make want to just buy all their flowers and bring it home. The flowers are all out in glass vases so you can choose. Looks like something out of a magazine spread. Luckily, one of their employees was able to help me build the perfect bouquet for my sister. The employee asked me a few questions to get a better idea of what my sister would like. Not going to lie, I really didn’t know all the answers, but left it up to the employee to decide. I paid and came back after work to pick up the flowers.
The bouquet the employee designed was amazing! It looked like something from a Martha Stewart magazine and for a fraction of the price! Seeing the flowers made me want to buy a bouquet for myself. haha! My sister loved the flowers and was impressed by how great they looked and the quality. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends!

Disappointing. I live in the neighborhood so I thought I would order from our local florist A New Leaf. I spent $ 125.00 for a bouquet for a recent dinner party. I explained that I would like the arrangement to be minimalist, simple and elegant in design.
What I received was far from that description. It was a hodge-​podge of flowers and quite ugly. I was questioning if I might be too critical, but when even normally polite guests comment on your arrangement being unattractive you realize your instincts are correct.

I purchased three bouquets from A New Leaf and when they arrived, they looked like they had been sitting out for at least two days. Within 24 hours, more than half of the flowers were dead on each of the arrangements. These flowers were meant to be delivered 24 hours in advance for a specific event. We couldn’t even use them because they looked so incredibly terrible. $ 240 down the drain.
Also, it was important that the receipt was included in the delivery for accounting purposes. I called the morning of the delivery to ensure a receipt would be included; I was told (in not the nicest tone) that it would be. Low and behold, when the flowers arrived there wasn’t a receipt. I know this isn’t a huge deal, but it was just the cherry on top of a not-​so-​pleasent experience.
I definitely won’t be using them again.

awful roses. got dozen long stem roses for valentine’s day from my husband — by that evening, they were dying and wilted.
complete rip off. tried calling the store, and no one would pick up.
not cool

Just paid a grip for a bunch of roses from this place and within an hour of sitting on a desk, half of the flowers fell from the stem. When I called them to let them know, the guy hung up on me.
Classy move.

I’ve gone to A New Leaf twice in the last six months.
They have wonderful fresh flowers, they have helped me create beautiful bouquets both times, and their prices are very reasonable (surprising reasonable for the Loop).
More importantly, my wife loves their flowers. If I ever have to get flowers and I’m downtown it’ll be from A New Leaf. Customer service is second to none.

They did the most beautiful bouquet with the unusual flowers that I requested. I was so impressed that they even had them in stock. I felt the price was reasonable and they delivered on time. The recipient was thrilled and said they were just gorgeous. I will absolutely use A New Leaf again!

I love LOVE love this place! Walking into this beautiful space is like a sanctuary! I love it! Sometimes I walk in just to smell the scents of summer and waking my scenes to colors I haven’t seen in 9 months here in Chicago. (get here already summer!)
Besides the gorgeous space, where I have come to conclusion will be my Reception area once married… There is this one woman who stands out from the rest. She always makes my day brighter by loving on my little dog and sending me with a fresh flower.
I have over three plants from this place and the pottery matches everything in my apartment. There’s honestly nothing I don’t love about this place.
Thanks you guys. Keep up the great work!

These guys are right near my office, and they’re a great treat for the special one at home :) I am by no means a flower expert, and they help me feel comfortable around flowers and making an arrangement. They’ve always been so happy to walk me through what’s in season, how to take care of it (tulips like cold water? who knew), and what pairs well. I tell them my price point for the day and it’s super easy. Affordable, local, knowledgeable. All you need in a nearby florist.

Meh.
The vibe I got from A New Leaf was snobbish. They just seem very snobby.
They couldn’t accomodate my wedding flower needs but even up to the point of telling me that they just didn’t mirror my enthusiasm for their store (heard great things) or the event (my God, my wedding to the love of my life!).
It was like, «Yeah, send us an email and we’ll let you know if we want to do your stuff». Literally, that was what the person told me over the phone.
The follow up email carried this sentiment through. Basically, ‘Sorry Charlie but good luck”.
Disappointed.

Precious, but in a good way. Walking by I noticed a tiny vase holding a tiny flower delicately tied to a tree. Inside, the shop is small but tastefully arranged. The staff is helpful and have a sense of humor about what they are doing. I found myself wanting to patronize them. Great store!

Ordered a small but elegant bouquet for our vow– renewal ceremony. The price was fair. The arrangement was unique and kept with my general request. The customer service was very good. I told the associate who helped me that I’d be taking my arrangement home a little later in the day so she accommodated me with vase, box for additional support, and bag for ease of transport. A very good experience. I will be back.

One of my favorite florists in Chicago. Very creative, they consistently produce the most beautiful bouquets, even with little to no direction. (I provide little more than a price range and basic descriptor, i.e. colorful, tall, etc).
The Dearborn location isn’t open on weekends so try one of the others in Lincoln Park.

Outside is so romantic at night, we went for a wedding. I can tell you the array of flowers were lovely and the oil soaked orchids were divine. Gorgeous setting outside with all the lights in the tree like Michigan Avenue during winter, the interior was fine, for a wedding, I don’t know, it was nice at first, but the stairs up just remind me of a gym with all the concrete. The good thing is when the bride and groom were talking we could see them but there were people on the bottom that they were talking down to… which you would expect to be marvelous but people had to keep straining their necks to look up at them.

I stopped by here after work to pick up a bouquet of flowers for my girlfriend after work.
Like many men, I have no idea what I want. I spoke with the associate and told her what I thought my girlfriend would like and how much I wanted to spend and voila… she made a beautiful bouquet at the low end of my price range. What more can you ask for.

Popped in a while ago to make a little bouquet for my boyfriend, who had mentioned that he thought boys should get flowers sometimes too.
I just sort of stumbled in and asked for help, saying that I didn’t have anything specific in mind, I just needed and dude-​bouquet. So, the gal and I wandered around while she suggested things, and I said «no» to them. (apparently, I’m a little more opinionated than I lead her to believe…) After not too long, we ended up with a super-​cute (and manly) little bouquet that was very reasonably-​priced.
Yay!

ordered flowers for delivery downtown for birthday. asked for something contemporary, specified colors i wanted and flowers i did/didn’t want. Flowers were delivered, looked perfect, very fresh and smelled great. Birthday girl loved the arrangement alot!
pricing was great, easy to place order over phone and arrangement was delivered ontime without any issues. definitely be back!
