Toadflax Inc

Beautiful things in this store. Too expensive in my opinion but my main problem with this place is that the two experiences I’ve had with the one owner, he was extremely rude to me. I happened to be in there when the store was closing (I had been in there maybe 5 minutes) and he turns to me and tells me that the ‘store is closing and it’s time to go home now.’ At first I thought he was joking but he was completely serious and quickly walked away from me. Like I’ve said in my other posts I love supporting small independent businesses but I don’t appreciate being treated disrespectfully. A little kindness and friendliness goes a long way, which I disappointingly didn’t receive here. Likely will not be shopping here again when there are equally nice and talented florists in the area. Not to mention cheaper.

Though Toadflax may have a strange name, this shop has a delightfully well curated collection of books and soaps and various accessories. I’m so happy that I dropped in here for a quick stop with my friend this summer. This is a great place to shop for a gift for that impossible-​to-​buy-​for friend or family member or for a housewarming gift.

Definitely on the pricier side, but their flowers are most beautiful I’ve ever seen — they look unreal. Very much a boutique-​y feel were you can get other household knick-​knacks. Definitely a place to treat yo self (or someone else!).

I love this place simply because they have an incredibly curated selection. Toadflax sells the most wonderful little luxuries from popular brands like Kiehl’s and Diptyque and also one-​of-​a-​kind items. It’s the perfect place to buy a gift. The employees are busy but helpful.

I have occasionally frequented this shop over the years most recently today. I’m impressed by the selection of fresh blooms that I imagine are hard to come by in these parts. I can only imagine how gorgeous their arrangements are based on the layout of the beautifully curated shop.
Lots of luxury toiletries available for sale like Diptyque that make great gifts. Great selection of cuisine and interior design centric coffee table books. They also have a collection of hand sewn pot holders near the front in an abundance of whimsical patterns. Things are on the pricy side, but little luxuries aren’t cheap and the merchandise is of high quality.
Staff is not overly friendly and there have been times that I’ve walked in and haven’t been acknowledged. In this day and age when wealthy people tend to be unassuming it’s plain stupid to be rude because it puts people off and costs you sales. My visit today I was greeted by a couple of friendly associates who were really helpful.

Its obvious that the owner has painstakenly raked through their products offered again and again to ensure that they are all of great quiality and style. The myriad of candles, fragrences, flower arrangements, bags and other products are all of great taste, allowing for an enjoyable shopping experience.
Ive bought countless people gifts here including their exquisite bags as well as candles and coffee table books and none have been returned.
Great job, Toadflax.

Yesterday I received, without question, the most exquisite bouquet from Toadflax.
My family had been through a lot this past month, but this arrangement was so colorful, so diverse, so beautifully orchestrated, that it absolutely brightened my day and lifted my spirits for the evening.
I’m hesitant to add a photo, as I honestly cannot get a shot that does these flowers justice.
Thank you, Toadflax! You’ve got my business for sure.

Stop in here for all of your overpriced candles, orchids, and meditation books and scented everythings. Although I probably would never purchase anything here, it’s a nice little shop owned by a couple of nice guys in the heart of Shadyside that’s good to stop in when you’re in the neighborhood. The ambience here is the highlight, with an aroma of goodness and soft soothing music playing in the background. Sometimes the owners have their dog resting at the foot of the counter, which is another highlight for me!

This is a wonderful place. When you enter, you’re hit with the aroma of blooming flowers. They sell a variety of exotic orchids that brighten up the room.
I’m especially fond of coming here in the Spring time. They take entire branches from trees and allow them to bloom right in the store. The colors and smells are amazing.
Along with flowers, they also sell bath items such as French milled soaps, body lotions and perfumes. The quality is top of the line but so are the prices.
My girlfriend and I love coming in here just to see the flowers, their wares and their two big dogs sleeping on the floor.
