Olympia Flower Store

Looks absolutely nothing like the pictures!!! Called and spoke with someone and they said the arrangement looked fine to him! I feel so sorry for the person who received the flowers … Now ordering from another location I can trust to make up for this lack of quality arrangement…
I had also written a review on Facebook, which got a response with that being said this is how they responded…
Olympia Flower Shop:
5starthe complaint about the wagon was not right. flowers were removed before the picture was taken. actually, there were more roses and gerberas than what the customer photographed. if anything, we send out more then what was ordered. and NO ONE in the olympia flower store [all family for 114 years] would ever say ‘it is what it is’. whoever wrote the review should feel very bad because they were so wrong
Eric-​Reese:
Actually you’re wrong. Did you build it yourself? I bought these flowers and had them sent to a friend who had just had a baby. They didn’t know what it was supposed to look like. They took the picture and sent it to me to say thank you. Being the one to buy the arrangement, I knew it didn’t look anything like the picture online, so I felt ripped off by this and called to see if there was an error. Sorry to break it to you, but «it is what it is» is exactly what was said to me. If you guys usually send out more than what was ordered, you must have taken them from my arrangement. I do not feel bad for leaving the review, it is accurate and correct. Your defensiveness in the situation is very telling. Obviously you don’t care about what your customers think. Instead of reaching out and trying to fix your error, you want to call me a liar and say the picture is staged. Sorry, no staging was done, that was the product you sold me. Obviously you are worried about your reputation or whatever but for a company that has been operating for 114 years you don’t know how to deal with customers. No ones perfect, I get that, you guys were off your game that day. Just admit it, but you’re too proud. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but you want to call me a liar. I would have ordered again from you guys if you handled this situation better, but you clearly have not. So, there it is. You yourself can admit the arrangement looks bad in the picture, your defense is that flowers were removed, but guess what they weren’t. So now what? Continue to call me a liar, I don’t really care because I know what I paid for and I know what I got. I was embarrassed to have that as my gift to someone. But now I am more embarrassed for you, and the way you run your business.

Great service, quality plants and flowers! Very helpful in making just the creations I wanted. The staff was very friendly and gave me a great deal on the items I purchased. I will definitely be making a return.

I recently ordered flowers online for my mother’s birthday and they were just beautiful. She said they were the best flowers she’s ever received! The basket was completely filled with a bright, beautiful arrangement of flowers. You never know what you’re going to get when ordering online, but I’ve ordered from Olympia before and my dad ordered from them for mom many times over the years. They are never a disappointment. Always impressive, highest quality and long lasting. You can tell the care they put into their arrangements. I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you!

Amazing. The best flower store I’ve been to. You can tell these people care about quality and what they put out. I can’t recommend enough.

What in the world is with the hyphens in the name and address? Redeemed a clutch $ 5 LevelUp credit here for graduation flowers.

Ordered flowers for my wife for Mother’s Day and they were awesome! It is now a week later and they are still beautiful. These guys are the best!

This place is the greatest. I have actually only bought house plants here and all of them are thriving and look great. The people who work here are such characters, sometimes I go in just to have a quick chat (I live across the street).
If you buy plants they always help you box them up so you can carry them easily, and in the winter they would wrap them in plastic so they wouldn’t freeze outside.
Prices are totally reasonable. And they have awesome pictures on the wall of the place throughout the years. Skip the big box flower store and go here, you won’t be disappointed :)

These guys are great. I stopped in this Sunday and with little direction the florist put together a beautiful, fragrant arrangement for a very affordable price. And to add to it, the 3 employees were extremely friendly and fun to chat with. Will be going back for all my flower needs. Thanks Olumpia!

Excellent store with wonderful service (everyone is really friendly and helpful). The flowers are very nice and the arrangements they can make are beautiful. They always last at least a week or two so we can enjoy them for a while. Not a cheap as supermarket flowers but you’re getting much higher quality… considering how nice the arrangements always turn out its really a good value.
Highly recommended.

Great prices, super helpful and knowledgeable about plant types and needs. I will deffinetley be coming back.

Awesome awesome arrangement! I’m so happy this year, since last year I used FTD and it was the worst arrangement in the history of flowers! Olympia I will use from now on! It was a huge and tasteful arrangement, and very easy on the wallet!

I came here with my brother to buy a bouquet for my mother’s birthday. It was a milestone bday so we wanted it to be special. When you walk in, you may think you’ve stepped back in time, as the store seems old, empty and overall nondescript. At first, the people behind the counter acted like we weren’t supposed to be there (we did come in about 30 minutes before closing), but then warmed up and ended up making a gorgeous arrangement of flowers from a descriptions of what we wanted and within our price range. I will say, leave a little extra time than you might normally, but you will get a better product than other stores that do a quickie.
They seem to have later hours than most florists and there is metered street parking.

Spoke to Joe who created a beautiful birthday bouquet for my mom with everything I asked and added more flowers with my blessing that further enhanced the bunch. My mom loved them, which means they succeeded and truly, they did an exceptional job. Photo of the bouquet posted to the photo gallery, see for yourself!

I just visited Olympia Flower for the second time. The first time, the guy working there helped me pick out a bouquet of flowers from the cooler in the back so it was exactly what I wanted. I brought them home, and they lasted for nearly THREE WEEKS. I changed the water, trimmed the stems, and removed a few grody leaves during these three weeks, but still. Cut flowers that lasted three weeks!
On my second visit, I picked out my own flowers from the cooler, and the woman working there made some suggestions about greens and then worked out a good price for me. Very friendly, very knowledgable.
Great flowers, reasonable prices.

I sent my wife flowers from Olympia Flower Store. They were stunning, better than I could imagine. They are still beautiful over 2 weeks later

I live in Los Angeles. A loved one was recently admitted to Boston Medical Center. It was too late in the day to guarantee same day delivery online. I read the reviews of Olympia online, called Olympia, and spoke with Larry.
Larry went above and beyond for me. I needed a pet friendly plant arrangement, and I needed it ASAP. Larry worked with me by phone, created an awesome arrangement, was patient with me, and went out of his way and personally delivered it to my loved one. Larry was AMAZING, and I am truly grateful for what he did for me. So much so, I created a Unilocal account just to recognize how awesome Olympia is.

Went here to pick up flowers for a friend as a «thank you» for hosting. The staff was helpful. They do have a bit of an awkward setup where half of their selection is in the back of the store in a walk-​in fridge. It’s a dense city and space is a commodity so you have to make an awkward walk through their work area to get to the back. And if it wasn’t for all the beautiful flowers inside the fridge, you might worry that walking inside of the small windowless room was just asking to become the next victim in a horror movie.
Anyway — back to the flowers! They have cut flowers, potted flowers, pots, and even an assortment of goods to grow your own. They’ll wrap your items with foil and all that pretty stuff if you ask :)

Yesterday I used Olympia to send a congratulatory bouquet to my sister, and can’t say enough about how beautiful it was. I spoke with Larry (the store’s owner) over the phone, and he very patiently asked me what I was imagining and what sort of flowers and colors my sister liked; he was also very accommodating about my budget. The vase of flowers she received blew her away. It was filled with gorgeous blooms (including roses, irises, orchids, and hydrangea), and was clearly put together with a great deal of thought, care, and artistry. Larry made the ordering experience pleasant and easy, and the flowers were delivered only a few hours later. Olympia helped us to mark a very special day and I’m hugely grateful.

Great selection here. The service is good, the staff is always full of recommendations to fit any price point OR occasion.
Kind of a little hole in the wall, but a much better experience than visiting a Kabloom!
I love that the inside is decorated with photos of the area’s evolution over the past 20 years… including shots of now-​defunct area businesses, and the old orange line stop that ran over the neighborhood.

This little flower shop has gone through some major changes since I first moved to the South End. A few years ago it was located where the 7 – 11 now is, and looked run-​down and completely unwelcoming. Now? It’s spruced itself up, located on the other side of the 7 – 11 and has a very cute little store front. I’ve bough many a flower here for a pretty decent price. In fact, I have some mums I bought over a week and a half ago sitting in my dining room, and they still look great! The gentleman behind the counter is very helpful and does a great job putting together my selections into a nice little bouquet.
Side note: on the walls of the shop are old photos of the Mass Ave and Washington Corner. It’s pretty cool to look at how that corner has been transformed over the last thirty or so years. I’d love to buy some of them, they are so cool.
