Harlem Flo

Ridiculous, arrogant attitude here. It’s impossible to get service. They don’t want to be in Harlem so they act as if they are better than everyone here (as witnessed repeatedly while I waited for service in the store). I went in for a request to get a weekly delivery, and it was hard work to get anyone to even speak to me. Then when they did acknowledge my presence, they were dismissive and insulting. He hurled a quote of $ 200/​week for what I described (a small, low arrangement) but then even had the nerve to say there would be a $ 10 weekly delivery fee on top of that. The sad thing is that I might have paid if they weren’t so nasty. Since they don’t need our business, Harlem, let’s all please stay out of that store! I’m spreading the word now. They do landscaping also, so I’m spreading the word for my neighbors with backyards. Thank goodness that I didn’t try to use them for my landscaping. Again, perhaps I would have, but fortunately they revealed their character before I gave them any money.

***Walk-​ins are not welcome***
***Snobby and expensive***
I live in neighbourhood. I thought I’d walk in and check things out for a small reception and a wedding bouquet. Turns out they were busy preparing for some party and nobody could talk to me. The shop is tiny and nothing to look at inside and no prices whatsoever.
After I literally interrogated the guy and uttered that dirty word «price» he was apparently appalled that I would even ask and said centerpieces at the Minimum (he repeated that with offended look) would be $ 75 and a wedding bouquet at the MINIMUM would be $ 100. Whatever that minimum would deliver he could not tell and said we would have to have a formal meeting and then still (!) go off the photographs. In fact it was overall store mantra to send me to the website to look at photographs. When I said there are no prices on the website they were again in shock that I brought it up.
Incredibly snobby place and horrible customer service. Make sure to call before going there that there is someone who can even talk to you.

I ordered floral arrangements for a corporate event held a couple weeks ago, per referral through my Conference Manager at the InterContinental NY Barclay in New York.
After being a bit apprehensive, as I did not get a chance to see any samples before, I was very happy with the results. Our event consisted of executives in the banking industry and some spouses. I received numerous compliments — even from one of the partners from our firm (and his wife).
I felt like my verbal and emailed instructions of what I wanted were followed and I could have asked for more. Thank you, Louis and Stefan

These people wanted to charge me 16 dollars to deliver to 136^th st. They must be on drugs tho.

This is one of the best florists in New York City. We recently moved to Harlem from Carnegie Hill and have been deeply impressed with the extraordinary service and beautiful arrangements. Wonderful to have this in the neighborhood.

Beautiful shop with an amazing assortment of fresh cut flowers and wonderful items for the home. None like it in all of Harlem.

You can stop by anytime and walk away with a beautiful bouquet for home or a quick gift — and they have a nice assortment of colorful eclectic gifts and cards. Beautiful and fun shop.

Gorgeous arrangements and the best customer service! They are affordable and make help u create one of a kind arrangements.

Excellent service + prompt delivery
Quality & Style
I was visiting a friend and her daughter who were in from out of town and happened to be walking by. With all of the clean «sleek» arrangements, cool vases, rocks, and unique plants I was thrilled to come across Harlem Flo.
The owner of the store was quite helpful. After I explained to him that I wanted to buy a plant for friends who may forget to water it, he gave me several choices that required minimal light and water and I was thrilled.
I chose a beautifully potted snake plant. The plant came in a textured ceramic moderin high quality pot, and I noticed that the owner put stunning river rocks over the top of the dirt. In addition he delivered for only $ 12 all the way from Harlem to Tribeca, and I didn’t have to carry it with me to the art show I was attending that day.
The snake plant arrived on time as per request, and was wrapped + secure in it’s box. Couldn’t have been happier. My friends love the plant and are excited to be able to have a plant, that they may not kill, in their home.
Thanks Harlem Flo — for such a beautiful idea, and great presentation.

Strong Suggestion: Yes, they are a bit pricey, but the quality is there.

Went to get some flowers for my sister’s graduation. They had a beautiful selection of flowers (healthy and lots of variety!) and the designer took her time listening to what I wanted. I got a modern, tasteful yellow and green bouquet for $ 25. Definitely part of the «new Harlem» scene (although it retains a little «old Harlem» flavor with the addition of store cat). Perfect for special occasions.

A tad expensive but some of the nicest arrangements I’ve ever seen. Very helpful and friendly staff, and a beautiful shop!

I love the shop and the owners. It’s always a pleasure to go into one of their shops. I’ve purchased flowers, plants and accessories, and received gifts from Harlem Flo. I’ve never been disappointed!

Every once in a while my boyfriend comes home with a bouquet from Harlem Flo and it makes my day. The arrangements are gorgeous, artful and often seasonally focused.
Their prices are a bit steep but you get what you pay for. It would be nice if they offered more everyday grab and go items — a small $ 15 bunch of flowers to freshen up your house for example. It’s wonderful to splurge on their professional arrangements but most people can’t manage that every week. I’d love to be able to stop in every week and pick up a little something.
That said, they just opened a life style store 1 or 2 blocks south of this shop. Their creative energy has been wonderful for the neighborhood and I hope inspiring for other entrepreneurs.

The fellows at Harlem Flo are the best! I called up last night around 7:45 (they normally close at 7) to ask if they sell herbs for planting and the owner was so helpful. He told me all the herbs they sell and said that he would stay open until so I could walk down to the shop to check them out. When I got there both of the proprietors were there and they helped me choose the best herbs for my little container garden. They even had a strawberry plant that I picked up on a whim. I love this shop!

So i am not a flower guy. I couldn’t tell you the different names of flower beyond the traditional rose, daisy, orchid and cactus. But the guys at Harlem Flo really know there stuff. There store is amazing — it smells great and visually it’s stunning. I’ve seen flowers and plants in there I have never even seen before (some great exotic stuff — not your run of the mill stuff you would find at a corner grocery store/​flower stand in the city). I have ordered a few bouquets for my mom, sister and some friends, and they have all been amazed by how beautiful they look. They even make centerpieces for those special parties. I also had them do the flowers for a holiday party I hosted in the city — which were AMAZING. These guys really think out of the box when it comes to floral design.
I have to say, I am extremely impressed by them, and while they are up in Harlem, it is well worth the trip. (And added bonus is that they can deliver to anywhere!) I would definitely recommend them to anyone. And if you can’t make it to Harlem, give them a call… and ask for Louis (he is a great listener and is wonderful in providing ideas).

I live in California but needed a floral arrangement to celebrate a special event in my New York daughter’s life. What prompted me to call Harlem Flo were the photos of their arrangements posted on Unilocal — not the usual stock photos that you see representing most florists, but real examples of their own work, which evidenced artistry and attention to detail.
When I talked to Louis at Harlem Flo on the phone late on a Sunday afternoon, he really listened to what I was saying about what I wanted and how much I wanted to pay, and I felt completely comfortable turning the process over to him.
The delivery the next day was timed perfectly, the arrangement was deemed gorgeous by my daughter, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks Harlem Flo!

Louis, one of the owners, is awesome! I got some flowers from Harlem Flo and was amazed at how long they lasted. This is one of the best florists in New York that I have come across. They are very reliable and the quality of their flowers is outstanding.

I got some flowers from Harlem Flo and they were amazing. Very contemporary yet classic looking bouquets. The flowers were super fresh and lasted over two weeks.
The shop had a great selection of flowers to choose from as well. The owners were incredibly helpful and courteous. They weren’t stuck up or snobby like a lot of other florists I’ve been to in New York. I’d have to say this is my favorite and most reliable florist in the city.

I went into Harlem Flo today and it smelled so good! They have gorgeous orchids and lush house plants. They sell scented candles in floral scents and beautiful arrays of fresh cut flowers are in the back. They also landscape terraces and patios and provide arrangements for special events and weddings.
I was informed by the friendly shopkeeper that they change their décor every two weeks so I’ll be back the beginning of April to see what spring things Harlem Flo has to offer!
