I used to go to this florist all the time when I was a student, but it seems like they don’t really care about walk-in customers anymore. When I went in this week to ask for their recommendation on which flowers were freshest and would keep the longest, both of the crotchety old men there just grumbled and said, «Just pick one» and«Don’t you know what you want?» They just pointed at some bodega-quality bouquets on the floor and couldn’t be bothered to do anything more.

I had a pleasant experience at Flowers By Valli. The owner was very kind and immediately helped me. A bouquet of 6 roses and other«filler» flowers was only $ 20, they were wrapped neatly and the stems were cut in front of me. The service was also quick I was in and out in 3 – 5 minutes!

I am so happy I have found this flower shop! The owner and staff were so friendly and helped me as soon as I entered the store. I was buying my wife flowers for our anniversary, and they lasted well over a week. The bouquet was moderately priced, and I have to say that my wife loved them! I am definitely going to come back to this shop for the next holiday.

DONTBUYHERE! I bought 4 plastic plant pots and they charged me $ 46. Hardware store down the block sells the same thing for $ 20. Of course they won’t take a refund! I should’ve known better when they were whispering in Greek about the price. Shady small businesses are just sad, esp when you’re trying to shop local.

I went to Flowers by Valli due to its close proximity to Columbia University and now I wish that I hadn’t. With the limited selection available, I chose 5 roses to give as a gift to a close friend. Not only did the owner not let me arrange the bouquet, but he chose supplementary flowers to include and furthermore didn’t include any water at the bottom of the stems for transportation. The flowers were then thrown in an ugly paper wrapping without cutting the stems. The bill came out to nearly $ 20 dollars. Overall it was a very negative service experience for flowers that were SIGNIFICANTLY overpriced and poorly put together. I would recommend finding another flower shop.

Dude wouldn’t let me arrange my own bouquet. Fair enough. He also was on a long phone call with an employee and wouldn’t arrange a bouquet for me. He had time to yell at me for opening the glass door to look at the flowers, but not enough time to tell me how long it would take him to finish his call. This in New York, buddy! I wasn’t actually in a hurry, and would have waited if he asked me nicely to wait for him so he could help me. Both florists within quick walking distance are overpriced and have limited selection, but might as well go to Academy where at least you’ll be treated like a human being.

I bought a money tree from Flowers by Valli. The tree is nice, but it came with fungus gnats that now live and buzz all over my workspace. When I returned to the store for help, the person working had no solution.
