K.C. Flowers

Great service, good people, and fresh flowers.

Always enjoy coming back to this store to see whats new.

I have been using this florist for 2 years and they are now my definite «go to» guys for all flowers and plants. I have bought flowers and plants from them, I have had them deliver flowers and plants for me as gifts to others and even come to my house to transplant plants from old pots into new ones and to feed them. For such a small store they have a nice selection and know what they are doing. They really do love flowers and it shows in their work and attitude. They are very reliable and eliver flowers on time and in good condition. I recommend them without hesitation.

I order flowers every year for Valentine’s Day from many local florists and KC Flowers has the worst quality flowers I have seen. Their quality is the same as grocery store quality and they charge $ 135+ for a dozen long stem roses. After my girlfriend received her flowers she was happily surprised of course but all the roses were wrinkled and withered on the edges. I called KC FLowers (or TJ Flowers they have two names?) and they said they would send a replacement but never did. I also sent them an email with the pictures of the withered flowers. I called the next day and they said it was because I didn’t tell them a time she would be available when I told both Leo, the man I spoke with (I also spoke with a woman the first time) that she would be available all day. I complained about the quality, which would not have mattered if the price had been cheaper, and he said he would send in a replacement. So low and behold a replacement comes… Not only are the replacements worse then before, all they did was pluck off the outer petals and left the only these TINY rose buds, but the fillers were completely off (Big leafy plants and not baby’s breath?) What a horrible experience for such a special day. Especially since I paid so much for them and as for delivery they are only 3 – 5 minutes away… I would have been better off ordering off of one of those generic websites and gotten better flowers and a cheaper deal… But I try to support local florists and these guys force me to have to do all this stuff especially on Valentine’s day…

Situation: Saturday late afternoon. Rushing into unfamiliar territory (UWS) on the way to a party. Halt at the subway, realizing we are forgetting something essential.
«ROOMS!» I exclaim to my roommate. «We need flowers!»
«Hmmm…» she responds, «I don’t know any florists around here.»
Neither do I. The clock is ticking. We can’t afford to be (even more) fashionably late than we already will be.
And then, behold! In sight from the uptown 1 train entrance, I see a sign proclaiming «FLOWERS». We run. We enter. We inhale the sweet aroma of fresh flowers.
«Can I help you?» a charming lady asks. We oogle at various centerpiece arrangements any fashionable bride would kill for. We look longingly at the potted orchids (the smallest one — teeny tiny — is $ 25). We sniff the colorful bunches of hyacinths.
Finally, we settle on a lovely bouquet of red, purple, and white anemones. As I pay, a gentleman in the back wraps the flowers in delicate yellow and white tissue paper, tied with twine. Simple elegance.
A little pricier than my average flower shop, but absolutely worth it. For such a small place, the selection is outstanding.
