I met this girl in Taiwan a week ago, she was one of my friends friend years and years ago, and everything starts to make sense when she is around me. She went back to New York for school 4 days after we met, but during that 4 days, we spent the most amazing time together. Its her birthday on September 30th, and I wanted to do something special for her just to make her happy, so I thought of having flowers delivered to her classroom on her birthday. I went online and looked for florist shops near her school, and John Street Florist was the first one on the Google search list. John, the owner of the shop, picked up the phone and patiently listened to my longer version love story above, and he also shared with me his own love experiences with his wife to encourage me with my long-distance relationship. I picked out the Wrapped in Love pink roses, and e-mailed John the poem I want to put down on the card that goes with the flower. John said, Ill have one of my guy go and check with the school guards and see if there is a way to have it delivered to the classroom. That was unbelievable, John is willing to do such thing that totally didnt include in the florist service. I called the next day and spoken to both John and Roy, Roy is the one doing the actual delivery, they both gave me detailed options the school security told them, and delivering the flower to classroom was not in the option the security gave. John still promised me that he will make sure it gets delivered to her, not to mention she was also in a night class on Thursday from 6pm - 9pm after the John Street Florist working hour. John says he will give me a call on Thursday night during the delivery if there are any problems, and all delivery information I provided to John was the time and date, building address, and its a Business Law class shes in. John called me at 6:15pm New York time on Thursday which is 6:15am Taiwan time, telling me that there are several Business Law classes and it will take some time to find her. John gave me a call 10 minutes later and tells me the flowers are delivered, and even thanked me for choosing their service. The girl called me and thank me with joyful happiness, and that made me the most happy man on earth. I did mentioned to John during his phone call to me that I will call him through Skype, because I wouldnt want him to be charged with long distance calling, but John says not to worry about the bills because he just wants to make sure the delivery goes successfully. God, what have I done to deserve such great service. Thank you John Street Florist, and greater thanks to John and Roy. Please, if anyone who read about this review, you are at the right florist.

I have been buying flowers from here for my girlfriend for a year now. I asked them to call me before the delivery. The owner made a frustration sound and told me the delivery guy was autistic and that he would try his best. I told him to not worry about the call then. In my mind I was thinking he was having a bad day so I didnt want to make the delivery difficult. He was telling me that, "No, no, its ok. He is a good driver. Actually a good delivery guy." I still insisted to not call me upon delivery. Then when they were delivered someone called me. "The flowers were delivered." said someone. I said thank you and he just hung up. So unprofessional! I know that they usually do a good job so I wanted to talk to the owner. What happened next blew my mind. After explaining everything he made me feel like I didnt have compassion in my heart because I was baffled that he would tell me that the delivery guy was autistic. Seriously? My nephew is autistic, i wouldnt make excuses for him because of it. Thats wrong. He then just told me, "You know what sir? You can just go and buy your flowers somewhere else." Wow, now I lost my florist for NY. Thanks John Street Florist. Do better! Bye.

I ordered flowers for my wife on Valentine. A week before I took a special card that I had written to John (he suggested it actually). I thought excellent, what a great service. the day the flowers where supposed to be delivered he calls me to tell me the flowers were stolen by the delivery guy and that my card was lost. I went that afternoon to the store and asked him for the name of the delivery guy and he told me he didnt know and that he was busy and to come back next week! How do you not know your delivery guy? The story of someone stealing flowers is just unbelievable... He sent replacement flowers and they were nice, but I lost the card that I had written to my wife The whole experience just left a bad taste...

Rude! I had bought an orchid for my girlfriend from JSF. It died about a month later. Something to do with a common disease they get. Regardless, I explained to John himself what happened and he told me that I could replace it with another. All I had to do was wait till I saw another one that I liked and come by and pick it up. I saw one the week before V-day and thought, "Hmm, what better day to get my gf her orchid replaced." Well when I went in on V-day to pick it up he makes a big deal out of me being there on a "holiday" and proceeds to tell me "...picking up this flower, now, is unethical." - Correct me if Im wrong but isnt V-day all about flowers and chocolates? Just plain rude, John.

Amazing customer service! Bought several plants there for the office boardroom and John and his assistant did a great job. He was very friendly and honest. We were there awhile deciding on different vases, but they were very patient with us. He then potted them very quickly and neatly, then added some nice rocks on top for the finishing touches. We will definitely use John Street Florist again!!!

The owner is an absolute gentleman and a flower arrangement master! Ive had a number of bouquets from John Street Florist and Ive been consistently impressed. The flowers used for the bouquets are always of a high quality and very fresh so they remain looking great for quite a while afterwards! An all round great choice for a florist!

The guy literally picked out the crappiest lilies in the bunch and sold it to me. They all wilted within a very short amount of time. On top of that he didnt give me the price he had promised me. Dont waste your time coming here. There are plenty of better places to go close by

This place is very nice to deal with and reasonably priced. I called last night at 5pm, then called back to change the order the evening before secretarys day and a beautiful bouquet was delivered this morning, I have used them before and have not had any problems.
