St. Cloud Florist & Gift Shoppe — Local services in Saint Cloud

Ordered flowers Wednesday, before Mother's Day, for pickup Friday. Had great service on the phone. Went in for pickup, after having called to make sure they were ready. Waited patiently as a woman was helping someone and she made sure to acknowledge me. Upon waiting, a gentleman behind me was shopping around and then got all checked out and taken care of.

I did learn A LOT, (especially about hydrangeas) so I'm better prepared for next time. I also needed more carnations which they had on hand. Such a cute...

I don’t know how this place is still in business. The flowers I received looked like they were dug out of a dumpster—wilted, brown-edged, and barely held together. I’ve seen better arrangements at the grocery store… for a third of the price.

The person who helped me had the personality of a wet sponge and acted like I was inconveniencing them by placing an order. News flash: if you run a florist shop, maybe try not to be allergic to basic customer service.

The bouquet looked nothing like the photo online—false advertising at its finest. And when I called to complain, sonya gave me attitude instead of an apology. Zero accountability, zero professionalism, zero quality.

Save yourself the money and the embarrassment—go literally anywhere else. This place is a...
