I once bought a dozen roses from this place. They were fresh and nice. I went in there on Valentines Day. I was told one price for long stem roses over the phone only to find out that it was for short stem roses. The long stems were astronomically high. Maybe 12-14 dollars a piece. The price gouging on Valentines Day was obvious. I basically had to walk out. My wifes brother passed away Saturday night. She stayed at his bedside until he took his last breath at 9:00 PM 4/14/12. Days prior, he whispered to me that I get her flowers after he passed. I called up Buds and Baskets. I guess Lorianne was the one who answered. She said that she would make me a dozen roses if I got there before six. I told her that I would be there in ten minutes at 5:50 PM. She said they would be ready but that she had a funeral to rush to so that I should get in here quickly. I was there in minutes. She said the roses were from Peru or some place like that. They looked like they had a long trip. I asked why they had dark dried up pedals. She said that that was called the something pedal. Wow, I never saw that in all of my years. A big name for a dried up flower pedal. She then told me that she was sorry but that she could not make the bouquet now because she would have to take the time to pull the dried pedals off. That they are normal but take time to do correctly. This is the second time that I have been there and the second time that I left disappointed. Both times, I was lured in with a false promise. Losing a family member was difficult this weekend. Trying to go back to the same disappointing place a second time is my fault. I am never rude to anyone. I found it difficult to tell her that I would never be coming back in there again and that her wasting my time was a disgrace. Yet I told her. My poor 9 year old daughter who was with me cried in the car because she thought that her mother was going to get flowers from Uncle David which would cheer her up. Dont waste your time here. The quality of the flowers are hit and miss. The information on the phone is never what it is when you arrive there. She did offer to deliver them later but we were going out so it was either me getting them right there as promised over the phone or not at all. Again, dont take a chance on the quality and promised time. Go elsewhere. This is not a holiday. Any place with any measure of quality would be able to sell a dozen fresh roses on the spot.

If ever you need flowers for any reason this is the place to go. The young lady, LORRAINE, who owns and works in the shop is absolutely remarkable. Her knowledge of floral arrangements for any occasion is simply incredible. I went in,having never been there before, and wanted to buy some flowers for a woman for our third date . She knew exactly what to do. She made up a most beautiful bouquet that she said was appropiate for a third date . My date loved the flowers so much I recieved a big hug and a kiss and a job well done. Lorraine is as sweet as pie and a real gentle soul. Go in one day and meet her and find out for your self. AMEN

Coming from a large Armenian/Jewish family, you can only imagine how many parties we annually host. We are always trying to have bigger and more creative decorations for each event and Buds &Baskets provides just that. My family and I have been customers of this shop for quite a while. We are very fastidious but we are always satisfied with the final product this shop has to offer. The owner sometimes takes personal interest in creating exactly what I have envisioned. The staff is enduring, professional and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend that everyone who has a chance visit the shop.

Buds and Baskets beyond met my expectaions! Our florist,Lorraine, walked me thru the process. She listiened to exactley what I wanted and her guidance was great she gave advice on bouquet design,centerpieces,color of flowers,and decorations. Her attention to detail is exceptional! The delivery/setup was done in a timely manner making for a stress free day! Her work speaks for itself! I highley reccommend Buds and Baskets after my experiances I would never go elsewhere! Time and time again the flowers and baskets have lasted weeks. The quality and freshness is superb!

Lorianne is AMAZING. I can not emphasize that enough. She has a magic eye that sees flowers and makes them into works of art. We recently had my sisters bridal shower -- People literally fought over the centerpieces. You would do very well to have Buds and Baskets as your florist for any occassion.

Shop owner, Lorraine, creates some of the most amazing arrangements in the NYC area. Great pleasure to always receive and send her creations for that special occasion! Looking forward to the next time I can treat myself..

DO NOT USE BUDS FLORALS. I HAD FLOWERS DELIVERED AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME FROM WEDDING THE FLOWERS WERE WILTED. WE CALLED AND THE OWNER JUST SCREAMED AT ME AND MY HUSBAND AND HUNG UP THE PHONE

Every time I have frequented this florist, the flowers are fresh, the gifts are charming and the owner is sweet, candid and helpful. I would go out of my way to do business with her.
