You See Flowers At U C Medical Center

Yeah… so I went ahead and read all of the other two reviews for this flower shop before I decided to add my two pennies to the pot. I’ll start by saying I’m really feeling like this shop deserves 3.8 stars but since that’s not an option I decided to do math and round up to 4.
This shop is a good option for those last minute flower purchases or if you are in easy walking/​biking distance because parking on Parnassus is not so great. The selection on hand is very modest, but it seems appropriate given the small space the shop operates in. I’ve purchased single roses and also bouquets, and I also want to point out their website which has an extensive selection.
I reckon I’ve purchased flowers from You See Flowers four or five times by now within the last year and a half and while I would agree with previous reviews in some respects I have to offer different accounts as well. The first time I stopped by I did notice that the shopkeeper was a little lukewarm. I purchased a single rose, which she trimmed and wrapped very beautifully. Before she wrapped it she added a strand of long decorative grass (I guess that’s what it was) and pushed the rose into a self sealing water tube (something not every place does). She finished the piece by adding a colored ribbon of choice and a palm-​sized card, also of my choice. Now, I’ve purchased a few roses here in SF and I must admit that hers take the cake as far as presentation and competitive pricing. On subsequent visits I’ve found her much more friendly and warm, and I always ask how her day is going or how she’s doing and I’m rewarded with a smile which is why I keep going back. That, and this shop is legit close to my house.

Very small storefront. It’s like a closet sized flower shop. The selection is ok though. They have nice fresh stems and some potted plants out front. My mother and I picked some single stem snapdragons and Gladiolas.
I would give more stars but the woman who was working here was NOT very friendly at all. Seemed almost angry and we noticed. She wrapped our stems in plastic and added some nice decorative palm leaves. Which was a nice touch. I forced myself to say thank you and the woman said «thank you» back. Her thank you was actually semi friendly, so I didn’t get what her angry attitude was from. You would think being around beautiful flowers all day would brighten your attitude.
I’m willing to go back and see how she acts next time. Fingers crossed.

I needed flowers in the UCSF area quick, tried this shop, but the selection was poor on a monday morning, and the shop clerk seemed more interested in opening up the shop, rather than helping a customer make a purchase. Didn’t buy anything here, and had to go to my usual place…
