Edible Arrangements

Just received my second E.A. from the local store, here in Wheaton. Although it looked beautiful, the fruit was sub par at best. It was hard as in crunchy and absolutely flavorless. I put a call into them and was told that the manager wasn’t in so I’d have to call back when she was. I doubt I’ll waste anymore time than it takes me to write this review on this really disappointing product.
It just amazes me that a business offering one product (fruit) has the audacity to charge an arm and a leg for a product that is oh, so awful. Granted, it is April and fresh fruit isn’t in season. That doesn’t stop restaurants (of a higher standard) and even grocery stores from getting tasty produce. Obviously, E.A. feels it is perfectly fine to peddle a less that mediocre product. I will certainly do my share to make folks aware that if they’re going to order this, go into the local store and ask to sample the fruit first. Otherwise, whomever you send it to will most likely put it in the garbage where my second one now resides.

I was surprised with an edible arrangement today and I was thrilled! The fruit was crisp and very juicy. The overall arrangement was beautiful! I would highly recommend anyone looking to WOW someone with a tasty treat to have something ordered from the Wheaton location, you can tell they take time and really love what they do. Thank you very much!

I ordered a 24 pack of chocolate covered strawberries for my wife to celebrate our 24^th wedding anniversary. There were two problems with the strawberries that arrived. 1 of the two dozen strawberries there were only 23. They didn’t even give us the full two dozen. 2 half the strawberries were barely half covered with chocolate. It was if it was too much work for them to dip the strawberry. Not to mention their prices were extremely high and as was thier delivery charge. I really can’t say I would recommend them.

I ordered online the afternoon before for pick up the next morning. I arrived early hoping to get my order early as I had people arriving to my house. When I walked in, the employee went back to make my order I had placed the day earlier. Rather than help or pretend to care, they left me standing in front of the store with no chairs on principle for 30 minutes. If it truly took that long a smile and a quick, «Hey it’ll be 20 more minutes for the box of 6,» would go a long way over the glares through the door. Customer service was petty and terrible.

I don’t even know where to begin with how amazing Edible Arrangements-​Wheaton is. From the second I walked into the store, to the second I walked out, the employees were smiling and beyond helpful. It was my first time coming here, so I was unaware of how everything worked. The employee helping me explained all of my different options thoroughly and helped me pick the arrangement that would best fit my occasion. I love how versatile the arrangements can be and how creative of a gift they are. My daughter loves chocolate covered strawberries so it was no doubt that I was going to pick an arrangement with hand dipped strawberries of the best quality. Everything was super fresh and tasted delightful. Thanks so much Edible Arrangements-​Wheaton, you have my dedication as a customer.

Great idea and good overall appearance, but the fruit in the one we just received was mediocre at best. It was small and not ripe or very sweet (white strawberries, green canteloupe), For the cost of this kind of thing I would expect extra care when choosing fruit, not the below-​average grocery store quality that was included.

As someone who has purchased from EA before, I was pretty angry when I went into one in Geneva, IL and asked the worker if he could fill my nalgene with water.
Clearly unwilling to do so, he pointed to a bottled water in the fridge and told me I could buy one. Only after I told him I didn’t have any money did he begrudgingly fill my bottle from the sink right behind him. I know I did not purchase anything right then, but I really don’t think 16oz of sink water is too much to ask for. What happened to «Midwestern hospitality»??? Any place in Los Angeles would have happily filled a bottle with sink water.
And as a side note: this EA store was one of two little shops open at the geneva train station. If there were a bathroom or some other place to fill my bottle, I would have gone there. EA was my only option if I didn’t want to spend the next 1.5 hours on the train thirsty.

For those who don’t know, edible arrangements makes flower centerpieces with fruit. I have ordered here and the pieces are beautiful, and yummy. A tad $ but definitely worth it.
