I was in at the same time as reviewer John Munoz (Villanueva). We walked in at the same exact time on Valentine's Day morning, yesterday. This florist is very busy for good reason. Luis, half of the husband-wife duo running the show, explained that on Valentine's Day, walk-in orders are not feasible unless you are willing to wait.

Any other day I know I can expect to walk in here and within 15 minutes, have the most fragrant, freshest flowers filling my car with their enticing aroma. I don't know how anyone could give this place less...

Thank you to Darlings for being able to surprise her on the weekend since I...
