Capitol Hill Flower & Garden

When I first called this shop after looking at their website, I thought I would be constrained to the ""FTD"" looking arrangements I saw on-line. The woman I was buying flowers for, however, appreciates more sophisticated designs. Being constrained by time and needing the close proximity of the shop for easy pick-up, I called the shop and asked for something more high end. When I arrived at the store, which looks extremely busy, I was greeted promptly and was presented with my flowers and was stunned. They were fantastic! My girlfriend thought it was the most beautiful, arrangement she had ever received. I've ordered flowers from the ""fancier"" shops in town but this place did an even better job and was more reasonably priced. They are my new ""go to"" florist for specialty flowers. Pros: Creative staff, very good customer service Cons: parking can be tricky more

I stopped in at this flower shop to get a corsage and a boutonniere for prom. They keep longer hours than other shops, which is great for procrastinators like me. In the past, florist shops have had me pick up orders like this hours later. The clerk whipped up the two pieces in less than fifteen minutes and was very friendly and helpful. Walking back to my car after checkout, I dropped the corsage box pretty hard and one of the flowers popped off. Bashfully I brought the box back in an explained my mistake and she fixed it free of charge in under five minutes. We tried to tip her, but she wouldn't let us. That's customer service. Pros: Customer service, Value, Speed Cons: , Small selection more
