Edmond’s Plaza Florist

Whether I am buying a bouquet of flowers or a plant, Edmonds Plaza Florist is where I go in San Mateo. Beautiful & creative arrangements by a floral team with an eye for beauty.

I have been here a few times to admire their beautiful arrangements, but yesterday was my first time coming in with the intention to actually get something. It was Valentine’s Day afterall!
As soon as I walked in, I could tell they were very busy. I really appreciated that there was a lot of employees working, hence I was tended to shortly after walking in. I was helped by a very sweet and knowledgeable lady. I told her I wanted to put a bouquet together for my mom and the price range. I pointed out ones I knew I wanted as she made suggestions of flowers that would compliment each other. I really like her touch with the fillers. She wrapped them up with tissue paper and a giant purple bow to highlight the flowers. I knew my mom would love them! They were perfect, fresh and beautiful.
I liked how I was rung up with my information and emailed a receipt since I had no more hands and I love this eco-​friendly alternative. Also makes checking out easier in the future. I was very happy with the customer service and the quality of my arrangement. Great flower shop and conveniently located next to my favorite chocolate shop! Highly recommend.

A lot of flower shops are kind of… dank and musty. Not Edmonds! They’re is a joy to browse and they have a lot of fun products, including (when I was there) succulents and air plants in neat little pots. The staff have always been friendly, even though I’m usually just getting something small.
A while back I inquired to see if they could make a hexomino bouquet; they had never heard of it (no surprise, hardly anyone has) but looked it up on the spot, which was great can-​do service.

Edmond created a beautiful bouquet for my wedding. It was romantic yet simple and accented my photos perfectly. His artistic talent and reliable service won over all the other choices! My bouquet lasted for weeks and reminded me of my most perfect day.

Edmonds Plaza Florist was referred to me by a friend. When calling, I had the pleasure to speak with the owner, something you don’t always get when calling a successful business like Edmonds Plaza Florist. I loved his professionalism and efficiency in placing the order and knew I was in good hands! I will definitely be using them again the future.

I came here to buy a bouquet of flowers for a friend. They have beautiful flowers for a reasonable price.
The lady at the register was attending to a customer and there was someone else in front of me, and she didn’t even seem to acknowledge me, and I was in a bit of a hurry — so I decided to pick my own flowers for the bouquet I wanted to purchase. As I was walking around picking daisies and tulips, a man (I think his name is Henry) asked me if I needed help and made the bouquet for me. He was super friendly. «How about calla lilies? They are $xx. Or roses? They are a bit more expensive, but I can give you a few for $xx. This will be beautiful!»
When he finished creating the bouquet, the lady at the register shouted at Henry, «What do you have there?!»
Henry replied quickly, «3 for $ 2.99, 2 for $ 3.99, 2for $ 6.99.»
Then the lady proceeded to yell at him: «Slow down! I’m not ready!»
Then Henry repeated, «3 for $ 2.99, 2 for $ 3.99, 2for $ 6.99.»
The lady was still had not finished preparing her computer screen to input these numbers, so she yelled again, «Stop! Next time you need to write them down.»
After this continued for several more minutes, finally the lady was ready and Henry kindly repeated the prices again. She scolded Henry to make sure he wrote it down next time.
I felt bad for Henry because he was so kind and helped me out when the lady at the register didn’t (and was not friendly), AND he was getting yelled at, so I said to the lady, «Henry was very kind to me. He was very helpful.» She replied (rolling her eyes) «Yeah, but he needs to do his JOB!»
I like this place but didn’t appreciate the unfriendly lady bullying Henry. I really appreciate Henry’s helpfulness and hopefully he will be there next time to help me out!

WOW WOW WOW… that’s what I have to say about Edmond’s. Edmond, the owner, took care of me, gave the best outstanding customer service in the world, and totally was able to help me take care of 2 gorgeous flower arrangements for my clients. THANK YOU EDMOND!

I came here for a last minute Boss’s Day gift plant and got very good service. The florist seems to have a plentiful selection of flowers and plants, including air plants, which are fun. I was in and out quickly and am pleased with my purchase. You can probably find a more affordable florist, but if you don’t have time for bad service and/​or selection, this is the place to go.

Fantastic service, friendly, speedy. Had a great experience here!
The place is lovely and smells great! Although the staff jokes about how they don’t notice it since they are there all the time :)
Would definitely go back again!

I was so impressed with the customer service and the beautiful replacement arrangement the last time I placed an order. I had a new hire start at the office and decided to order her welcome flowers from Edmonds. I placed the order on Friday towards the end of the day, and the delivery was made Monday morning. The flowers are beautiful, this was a perfect welcome for our new hires first day.

Always pleased by Edmonds and the service I get here. I love supporting a local business and have bought a lot of plants here over the years.
I also worked with them for my wedding flowers and was very happy! I ordered my bouquet and three bridesmaids bouquets. The girl working was so helpful with suggestions on different flowers and accents I hadn’t even thought of. We decided on something simple but still elegant looking. The bouquets were delivered exactly on time the morning of my wedding, and I was pleased to see they were in nice glass vases for extra freshness. The bouquets lasted through the whole day, survived being dropped, and still looked gorgeous days after the wedding (my bridesmaids from all over the country took them home).

I called Edmonds with a last minute flower request for a friend’s birthday and I am very happy that I did. Edmond helped me create an order with a specific amount in mind and he ended up creating a beautiful arrangement in my budget that was delivered the same day. If I lived in San Mateo, I would absolutely use Edmond’s more often. What a gorgeous bouquet.

Edmond’s is great! I lived down the street at Draper University and would love to stop by at least once a week to buy single stem flowers or to just walk through the shop because of how stunning it is! (see photos) The shop is really beautiful from corner to corner and you’re always greeted with a smile by the employees.
I once placed a $ 800+ order for about 10+ arrangements to be delivered and the addresses ranged from LA all the way to downtown San Francisco. The ladies who helped me were so sweet and tried their best to give me a good deal! You can include your own message for each arrangement and even if you have male recipients, they’ll try their best to make the arrangement as masculine as possible haha. The flowers were delivered the day after I placed the order as promised and the receipt was emailed to me shortly after.
Such a lovely place. Would definitely recommend!

I’m giving 2 stars for placing LIVE BIRDS next to music speakers. Should be against the law. Isn’t it bad enough all those birds are in tiny cages, and their feathers look dyed in bright colors, but some of them are in cages next to speakers playing nasty pop music every single day, all day? My gf was otherwise enjoying their selection of somewhat overpriced flowers, but when she saw this abuse, we both had to leave.
Either stop playing music, or play some extremely calm, soothing music at very low levels, or better yet,
get the birds out of there into some larger cages where they won’t slowly be driven crazy by such a loud, unnatural environment. Some may complain that this review has nothing to do with flowers… well neither does having birds in the store.

Update: Edmonds redelivered me a beautiful bouquet of flowers, no questions asked, after I emailed them and let them know that I was disappointed with a prior bouquet. They did such an awesome job with the second bouquet — great flowers and great customer support. Highly recommend!
My boyfriend sent me a bouquet of flowers that arrived wilted. Called the shop because I was so upset, and the woman told me to send pictures (which I did). No response. Really disappointed in (1) dying bouquet (2) poor customer service.
Would not recommend ordering anything there, at least without going in store and previewing exactly what you’re getting.

Edmonds is absolutely amazing. I accidentally ordered my flowers to be ready the day after I needed them, but that was NO problem. The owner just laughed at my frantic look, and pulled a BEAUTIFUL bouquet from the back. Not only was it what I wanted – it was a totally upgraded version!!! I was just about the happiest costumer he could’ve had. Thank you so much!!!
Also– the shop is gorgeous! Take one walk through and you’ll see how amazing this work is. And how kind Edmond and his staff are!

No florist provides better customer service and product than Edmonds. He has been my go to florist for years.

The owner called me the next day and gave me another set for free. So I think I’m over for this. The shopping experience was strange but they do offer beautiful plants and flowers.

Came here to pick up last minute flowers for my boss’s birthday. I was in and out with an amazing arrangement within 10 minutes… which was great cause I was running late for work =\
I browsed the shop for a bit before asking for help. I told them my budget and said I needed the arrangement right away… They hooked me up with the most AMAZING arrangement and as I was leaving the gentlemen who helped me gave me the most beautiful roses I have ever seen on the house! *blush*
My boss absolutely loved her arrangement and I now have a regular florist that I will use every time I send flowers!
Thanks to everyone at Edmunds ;)
