Amadeus Flowers

Was in a rush and so stopped by the closest shop to my office. The owner is a character, he talked politics and flowers like no other. The girlfriend was engaged with the arrangement. Thanks much!

Another great find thanks to Unilocal.
I was in a bind and procrastinated on buying flowers for my /​our anniversary. I dialed up Unilocal in the FiDi where I work to look for flowers and quickly found this place which is a block away from where I work.
I called and the owner was nice enough so I decided to check it out.
As others have mentioned, he is a character. Loves to talk and will happily tell you all about flowers or anything else you’re interested in talking about for that matter.
My wife is unfortunately extremely picky when it comes to flowers. She knows where the best ones are, makes stunning arrangements herself and probably knows as much as most florists do about them.
She actually loves her arrangement! Score! I must say it is really beautiful. I’m sitting here smelling it permeate the room with beautiful smell 3 days after I brought it home.
Happy to have found this place and I’ll return.

I called in for a flower delivery in the morning, and the flowers were delivered an hour later! I couldn’t believe how fast and easy it was. I haven’t seen them yet, but my thank you note said they were beautiful :)

I love this place.
I got married two months ago and purchase my bouquet, my husband’s boutonnière and two large flower arrangements for the wedding here.
They were absolutely beautiful.
I’m a huge fan of daisies and even though they were not in season at the time the owner made sure to find them for me.
Plus he was very understanding of our budget and exceeded our expectations with beautiful flowers.

I have been purchasing my arrangements from this place for years now… the owner knows my style in arrangements and never disappoints. …
The look and tears of happiness on my wife’s face were always worth it… wouldn’t go anywhere else.
He always has beautiful Brazilian long steams. and lilies that las for weeks. …

Best flower stand in the financial district. The process is a treat, no sales pressure, build your on bouquet, and the flowers last weeks and weeks — very fresh.

Amadeaus Flowers…
Came here on a random day to purchase flowers just because I wanted to. The gentleman here was very welcoming and friendly. He created something out of nothing. I did not know what I wanted, I just told him that I had $ 20 and wanted something to make me smile.
He got a wine bottle and filled it up with goodness :)
I will definitely come here to have a nice chat & lovely flowers.
Amadeus Flowers made my day! :)

Both Amadeus Flowers and it’s sister store Blooming Alley —
have been taking care of my business and personal needs for years. I couldn’t be happier with the work this husband and wife duo do. This not your ordinary mom and pop shop either… the arrangements they put together are extraordinary and will never disappoint. Also, if you are in the mood for a good chat, Bolek will jump right on in with you. Go and see him at Embarcadero !

Athough they have a beautiful selection of flowers, including blooms you won’t find in the many downtown flower stands, I sort of regret my purchase. I spent $ 80 on two bouquets which was too much for the types of flowers I bought. I got orchids for my mom at about ¹⁄₃ more than I would usually pay downtown. But I was in a rush, so I wasn’t scrutinizing on price.
I would recommend this shop for anyone looking for exotic blooms, or if you want the freedom to put together your own bouquet — stem by stem. Otherwise there are more affordable options downtown.

Amadeus has the most beautiful flowers. Very high quality, no carnations or daisys… not that there is anything wrong with carns or daisies… If you want exceptional flowers or a beautiful arrangement, Amadeus is the place to go.

I buy flowers here for work sometimes…
Just like any other flower shop, it’s pricey. The guy who works here is outgoing and knows how to help you. Possibly a little pushy? But he knows when to back down… None of their designs have «amazed» me but the quality of their flowers are beautiful. The variety is less than other flower shops. You get what you pay for.

Fantastic guy, flowers always fresh and beautiful. Alway available, always nice, always «no problem», delivers even to Los Altos.

The guy who works the stand is quite a character. When you get there, be prepared to talk about who the flowers are for, for what occasion, how long have you been together, what you’re doing for the rest of the day, what do you think the he/​she is going to think of their flowers, where do you work, for how long, where you went to school… etc. etc.
He also engaged me in a game called, «guess how much this boutique is worth.»
I failed miserably.
Overall, the arrangement I got was beautiful and fresh. Definitely coming back! :D

HOW CAN THIS PLACE HAVE ANYTING GREATER THAN 1 STAR???
I fully understand that this is a mom & pop shop, and I truly believe in supporting businesses that charge a small premium in exchange for excellent customer service, but as hideous as the flowers were, the service was even worse…
First of all, it’s not a shop at all, it is an 8 by 8 kiosk in the middle of the embarcadero building; so to highlight the fact that their selection is absolutely handicapped would be an understatement.
Secondly, I’d like to tell you why I’ve named the owner of Amadeus Flowers «TWO-​FACE». When we first started chatting, he seemed in my opinion to be the most charming man in San Francisco; in fact, I was almost willing to forego his lack of selection just to support him as a person-​the mark of a true salesman. So I picked out a vase, and told him to arrange the flowers of his choice for my girlfriend…
HE QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $ 145, and keep in mind that this was an extremely skinny vase which would have at maxiumum held 1 dozen long stem roses… Naturally, I elected to see at least 1 more florist before I decided to donate to a heinously over-​priced flower kiosk for the sake of a charming man… So I politely told him that I would call him back in 20 minutes if I decided to puchase his arrangement.
Moments after my comment, his face literally changed… he released his contrived smile, suddenly looking 10 years older… he then proceeded to turn his back towards me and move on with his day… he didn’t even bother to say anything nor did he hand me a business card… seriously, I hate that guy…
o ya, and free delivery my ass! his profit margin would pay for a personal delivery from Paris Hilton…

worked out well, got flowers delivered to downtown SF within an hour & half of calling, guy on phone was helpful with suggestions (though had an accent that was kind of tough to follow); wifey really enjoyed the floral arrangement. As folks have hinted, they are a bit on the pricey side, fwiw.

How this place get’s five stars is beyond me. The inventory is similar to most Financial District vendors, but the prices doubled. Seriously, $ 20 for something priced at $ 10 at the 101 California florist. Shop around before buying here. Check Rincon, 101 Cal, Market St vendors before considering this place.

Oh oh! Here we go again! Valentine’s Day came around the corner and I was in dire need to buy a dozen roses for someone on the dime for a special girl! What can I say? I’m a guy who procrastinates with these things! I quickly did a search on Google Maps and found quite a few florists within my area. I called each florist to get a price range that didn’t go past $ 120.00 for a great floral arrangement of red roses. Amadeus was the 4^th florist I called. When I spoke to the lady, she was very kind and extremely helpful. I asked her silly questions that a guy would ask her and she answered every single one without getting annoyed. I asked her if she would be able to deliver the flowers within the next hour and she happily said, «No problem!» Now that’s what you call «customer service!» I didn’t bother to call anymore florists and ordered immediately from her.
Let’s talk about the flowers. You and I both know that ordering from florists can be a hit-​and-​miss scenario. Either the arrangement looked very tacky or the flowers were not fresh or looked damaged. Nothing is worse than ordering from a florist directly and having them send flowers that look like they were ordered from 1−800-Flowers. (If you don’t know, you should always order directly from florists since those «boxed» flower deliveries are always horrible.) The flowers from Amadeus were beautiful! The rose buds were undamaged and they were arranged beautifully. The roses were dark bloody red and they were matured perfectly. They didn’t look like tiny rose buds that weren’t matured and they didn’t look as if the roses that blossomed 1 week ago. The rose buds were in the perfect «middle» stage. The vase they used was simple and did not look tacky like something your grandmother would use.
Oh, before I forget, when I was about to end the conversation after I submitted the order, she THANKED ME for being so helpful. I was a little shocked by her gratitude but that last statement made me into a loyal customer. I will always order from Amadeus Flowers. Sure, the flowers were a little more than what I wanted to spend, but I am one of those people who would pay a little extra for excellent service.
Kudos to Amadeus Flowers!

Beautiful arrangements (see pics)! I’ve been a lucky recipient of these bouquets that are top quality and last a long time. They come in this nice low vase that sits well on a cubicle desk. Much better compared to other arrangements I’ve received in the past.

A super nice guy, and such beautiful flowers! As another Unilocaler said, it’s great to walk by just to check them out and breath in the wonderful scents.
His arrangements are really nice, and the flowers always a last a long time. Free delivery too!

Flower stands — they’re the new thing…
The owner is such a character — he knows exactly what I like, who I am dating, who my friends are, where I am going this weekend…
Translation: It’s not just the beautiful arrangements that keep me coming back for more…
