Flowers ‘a la Carte

My mom recently had surgery and I’m out of state. I wanted to get her some nice flowers for her room, and to get them delivered same day. I got both and great customer service too. Dana even texted me a picture so I could see the arrangement before they delivered it. I really appreciated that.

Very easy online shopping experience, and great customer support.
Originally, my grandma (the recipient) sent me a picture of (what she thought was) the bouquet I sent her for her birthday and it was totally different from what I had ordered. I sent flowers a la carte a pretty rude email demanding an explanation and they sent a super nice reply clarifying that bouquet was not what they delivered, along with a pic of what was delivered. You see, grandma can’t read very well and just assumed that first bouquet was from me… The whole thing was a misunderstanding but flowers handled it extremely well.
I’m very happy to support a great local business like this, which hand delivers their bouquets and stands by their work. Its a much better & more personal experience than the «big flower companies» which delivers flowers in a box.

Great arrangement — outstanding price — friendly — delivered on time — Thanks

First time going to a flower shop in North county.
Flower shop is small and very maintained.
Gorgeous flowers, reasonable prices!
Location is great!
Will be back for sure!

This little flower shop completely shattered my expectations in the most wonderful way. I called on my mom’s birthday to have a last-​minute arrangement delivered day-​of because her gift wasn’t going to arrive on time.
Kara helped me and was oh so very patient on the phone. I told her that I wanted something classy for my mom in light colors and that she loved calla lilies and orchids. I was floored when I received a picture of the arrangement just a few hours later. My mom is in love with her flowers.
Would not hesitate for a second getting flowers from here again. Their creativity is top-​notch. On top of all this, prices are comparable to what I’ve paid for those online flower shops and the quality is way beyond.

I have never ordered flowers to be delivered since I moved to San Diego, but I am so happy with Flowers a la Carte! I have a dear friend who I wanted to take flowers to, but I was unable to deliver them to her in person. I called this morning (before the store opened) and Kien called me back within just a few minutes and told me they could deliver a beautiful bouquet by the afternoon. She listened to what I was wanting and was a total sweetheart! I even received a confirmation text when they had been delivered! I will definitely be using Flowers a la Carte in the future! Thank you Kien!

My first time going to this flower shop and my beautiful rose is still alive (its been 2.5 weeks)…I will be back!

Cute little shop where one can select the flowers for a bouquet. I found it fun to select the flowers I wanted and they arranged them in a little vase. Have to do this again some time.

Picked up a GORGEOUS a la Carte bouquet from here for our dear friend. They have such a unique and beautiful variety of flowers at excellent prices to boot! Very glad to have an exceptional florist nearby!

Great service and a beautiful flower. My order was small, but exactly what I asked for and a great price. Do not be turned off by the fact that they are in a little shack in the parking lot. I would definitely use again.

I worked with Erin. She was so sweet! The shop was set to close in 30 minutes but she took the time to create a beautiful arrangement for my daughter and delivery it to her at her work. I will definitely be a regular customer. The price was extremely reasonable, too! The service was exemplary and the flowers divine. Thank you, Erin!!! :)

The cutest flower stand.
The owner was there and she answered my questions about the various flowers I hadn’t seen before… I always ask questions. I like to create my own arrangements and she assisted offering up great suggestions.
She was so sweet and knowledgable.
This little flower stand has an amazing selection of flowers and although she be but tiny, they even do weddings, etc. just ask!
Cute wittle place.

The stand at the Carmel Mountain plaza was so pretty and I just got three stems of baby’s breath, nothing too much and they were two dollars each! Because inventory wise if you want to pick something up the day of, ask them to set it aside for you. The ladies there were super sweet and really helpful and the packaging was awesome. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking not only for arrangements but just looking to pick up some flowers casually as well :) the prices are great!!!

It was Sunday around noon on Mother’s Day and I realized my mom was going to get back from her trip in a couple of hours and I still didn’t have flowers! I rushed over to Ralphs and noticed all of the other procrastinating children like myself rushing over to the almost empty flower section. It was slim pickings.
So I grabbed my phone, pulled up the Unilocal app, and found Flowers ‘à la Carte in Carmel Mountain Ranch. It’s located in the parking lot with Which Wich, Sprouts, Ross, CPK, etc. I did find a few other places on Unilocal first but this was the first one I found that was open on a Sunday — luckily!
When I first got there, I felt a little overwhelmed. So many choices and I had no clue what my mom wanted (yeah I know… I’ve lost even more points now). A lady came up to me and asked if I knew what I wanted — I told her I was still browsing the selection, so she told me that there were some pre-​made arrangements available in a tent right next to the shop (they don’t normally have this section up — only for special occasions like Mother’s Day) or I can choose whatever I wanted. A few minutes later, I felt a little more ready and a different lady came over and asked if I knew what I wanted. I luckily remembered my mom loves lilies, so I asked her what would go well with that and she suggested a few different things as well as a color scheme. I liked everything she suggested, so then she asked me what my budget was so she can make an arrangement within my budget.
All in all, I might have spent a little more money on flowers this year because of my procrastination, but it was well worth it. I got a much nicer arrangement than what can be bought from a grocery store. Everyone was really helpful (wish I could remember their names).

Pros: I called on short notice (the day before) a holiday for a delivery and they took my order. I asked for delivery by noon and it was delivered on time. While I was a bit disappointed, the recipient seemed to like it. The process of ordering was quick.
Cons: The woman that helped me place the order was not friendly or happy to take my order. I specifically asked for certain flowers on the phone and only one of them showed up in the arrangement. This was a mid priced order but majority of the flowers used were inexpensive (I’ve done floral design and have experience to know) and sort of monochrome — not the colorful spring arrangement I requested.
I’ll try someplace else next time.

Kien is great! I sent her a message on Facebook asking for a quote for my wedding. She replied same day with great prices! I have been shopping around and lately I am surprised on the customer service these days, no returned calls, rude employees, I am a paying customer and I cant even get some questions answered! However, I experienced excellent customer service from Kien. We emailed back and forth a few times and I met up with her to further discuss bouquets. I told her I wasn’t familiar with types of flowers and what they cost and she gave me a lot of information. We discussed what would be best for my budget and a couple days later she sent me a typed proposal with great pricing, even pictures of exactly what I can expect. Taking the time to answer questions and giving good honest feedback to customers is truly important and will always win my business.

Had the opportunity to get some flowers delivered to my wife today by Flowers A La Carte. I had a good conversation with Kien over the phone about what I wanted, and she was able to deliver a great flower arrangement on short notice! For the price I paid and service I received, it was worth every dollar, not to mention the smile it gets from your significant other when she receives them;-) Thank you again Kien!

I went here over a week ago. The lady was rude and made me feel cheap because I told her I wasn’t sure of my flower budget for my wedding. I told her I didn’t want to go over the top and spend a ton of money on flowers. She told me «well okay I guess we can try to make you little bouquets.» She took ALL my information and told me she would send me a quote in the next couple days.
I haven’t received anything. I don’t recommend going here at all. The only reason why I went was because it had good reviews. Sorry, I have the complete opposite opinion of everyone else.
Don’t waste your time.

Karen was such a saint for putting up with me and my ever changing budget! She did an absolutely beautiful job on my bouquets and ceremony flowers. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

I was so happy! I needed to order flowers for my mothers memorial service that weekend. When I showed up at the kiosk, I wasn’t too sure they could do the job, especially because I wanted specific flowers for her.
They wrote down everything, quoted me a price, told me they could deliver and not to worry. It was extremely important to me that the flowers were beautiful and exceptional in design.
What I received was perfect! They did an excellent job, delivered them early and everyone, including my mom was very happy.
I will buy flowers and arrangements from them all the time.
Thank you for handling something so important at such a difficult time. Blessings. Michelle
