The woman that answered the phone could not even tell me how to give her my information over the phone. Then said "can you call someone else". WTF? I was just asking how to give the recipient's name and address. Do I email or spell it?

Jan is a wonderful person and very helpful. After helping me we talked story about her wonderful grandchildren (Jdn & Mdl!) inspire her to keep things going. She helped me pick what is right even though my budget went from $50 to $20 because I found a $30 plushie that my receivers would have really liked and she made it work. Cute little store!!!

Very disappointed with the service I received yesterday. I shopped once here before and it is $$$ but for the reasons I needed the flowers I was willing to spend anything. Yesterday, I had a terrible experience and I will never go back. I walked to this location from my office that is located in the same building. I needed to get a flower arrangement for a very nice and loved coworker that lost someone close in her family. I was expecting respect and compassion to help me create a simple-classy white flower arrangement that I was wishing to give to my coworker. I pointed at a flower arrangement I liked from the fridge that had the main flowers in white but also had some in purple as an accent. I asked the florist if she could please arrange that base to all white flowers or make me a new arrangement using only white flowers -- I let her know why I needed the arrangement to be white. She took out the flower arrangement I pointed out from the fridge and took it to the counter. I explained to her AGAIN that I needed the arrangement to be only white and if she could fix that one to all white flowers I would take it or if she could make a new one it would be fine too. She then got upset because I did not want purple flowers in the arrangement. Once AGAIN I tried explaining the situation but she wouldn't listen or show respect to my needs. She got even more upset to the point of telling me to go shop for my flowers somewhere else because she was 'really busy'. I grabbed my wallet and phone from the counter and left reminding her that she did not look busy when I came in and I was also the ONLY customer she had in the store to the moment I left. I don't understand why she got upset in the first place. It is a flower shop and I was not asking for something out of the ordinary. I was very disappointed and now I will never shop there again or recommend this flower shop to anyone. I hope for her to understand one day that her business can be successful if she cares for the needs of her customers. ***And big thanks to the ladies at the NEX flower shop for helping me last night to get the flower arrangement I needed for my coworker. This morning, it touch both of our hearts when I hand it to her.

I live away from Hawaii and wanted to surprise my best friend for her birthday. Yelp lead me to Flowers For You- a florist near her work that delivers. I was able to order flowers just one day before the delivery day and it was not a problem. I spoke on the phone with Jan(?), she is very nice but her English is not perfect and a few parts of the conversation was hard to understand. The process was really efficient as I gave her a dollar amount I wanted and told her "mixed bouquet". She took notes on the address and what to write on the card- and we were off the phone with each other within 5 mins. She took my credit card number over the phone but did not charge it till the delivery day. My friend was thrilled with the surprise bouquet and for me, the size and bulk of the flowers matched the price that I felt I paid. I would use this service again.

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. I took my 2 year old son here to buy a flower for his grandma. The lady was SO RUDE and didn't want to help us because she was "eating lunch." So I asked her why were her doors open if she didn't want to help us. And she ended up telling us "who do you think you are?! we have the right to refuse service, get out!" I couldn't believe it. I can't believe how a business owner can talk to a customer like that, especially with a child! This is my first yelp review, I thought it was important to let people know not to support businesses that don't treat their customers with respect.

I live in Texas and found Flowers For You online. I spoke with James. He could not have been more helpful! I wanted to send a floral arrangement to a friend staying at a nearby hotel. James asked what type of flowers I was looking for, and based on my feedback he offered a few suggestions. He texted me a photo of the arrangement when it was ready, and delivered it personally the next afternoon. Because the hotel was so close to his store, he even waived the delivery fee. How's that for service?! The total cost was only $50, and my credit card was not charged until the flowers had been delivered. I would not hesitate to recommend this florist to anyone. Ask for James and you will be well treated.

The lady here was extremely rude as soon as we entered. Came here for some proteas with my friend and we were willing to pay whatever she wanted to charge. We wanted to take our pick of what we saw in fridge. She picked some others from the back room that were a completely different color and started shouting at us to buy those. We insisted that we wanted the two (just two of the DOZENS she had) that we picked from the fridge and she rolled her eyes and started to throw a tantrum. I was polite and courteous up until this point. I asked if there was a problem and she snapped and told us she didn't want us to buy from her. We walked out protea-less. It was bizarre. Give your money to one of the nicer ladies in Chinatown.

Flowers For You is located in the Topa Building on the corner of Bishop and Queen Street. You have to go inside the building to find this flower shop, you wont see it from the outside/street. I love the arrangements here. They are all really really nice and have a good variety every time I visit. They are a little pricey, but definitely worth it.

This store always has a lot of inventory. Sometimes I go in there and just buy a single rose or flower for my wife and they always give me a good price. Also my son loves going in their store because the clerk always plays with him. Good store and good people.

I forgot it was my Aunts Birthday and needed flowers right away. Got a hold of James from Flowers by You and he was so nice to text me a pic of an already made arrangement similar to one I really liked on their Yelp pics. He was excited to text me and was more excited when I liked it. He was even able to walk the flowers over to my aunt since he was nearby. This flower shop is now a lifer for me and will always turn to them for anything because of their over the top service. My panicked experience in locating a flower shop turned into a great experience. Mahalo James!

Jan was referred to me by several friends. I finally used her for a grand opening arrangement that I sent to a customer and it looked good! She got it delivered to Kailua on with just 3 days notice. I will use her for all of my arrangements moving forward. Very professional, great work, friendly service, and at a reasonable price.

Jan has been bringing happiness to the tenants of the Amfac and now Topa Financial Center for 25+ years. Her designs are beautiful and she always offers only the best quality flowers and gifts. They don't really deliver outside of Honolulu but they are your best bet for a surprise delivery to your sweetheart working in Downtown. Don't worry, they DO NOT charge for expedited or guaranteed delivery. In fact, they are not affiliated with an online or telephone floral service. When you call, you will either talk to Jan or her elderly Mother, who doesn't speak good English. It's basically just Jan running the business herself. In fact, Jan or her personal friends do the deliveries themselves! Flowers for You is pricey! Don't expect Home Depot or University Avenue florist prices! Jan uses premium flowers and vases and although the prices are higher, you'll be getting great quality flowers arranged by someone with 30+ years of floral experience and will be supporting a single grandmother's small business. To me, that's worth the extra $5-10.

OMG, Flowers for you SAVED THE DAY!! I was so busy on Valentine's Day I had to get something last minute. They stayed open late just for me. The arrangement was amazing and the gf was stoked. Their service is great and the price very reasonable. Even though downtown is busy, there is usually street parking where you can run in and pickup your flowers, which is what I did. Took me 5 min, in and out. Thank you!!!
