"I've been coming to Flower Fair for awhile to get some leis for co-workers, friends, and family! Honestly, the workers here are super friendly and prices are reasonable. I also like that they give you the option of picking any ribbon color they have available :). I'd totally recommend anyone to come here to pick up leis!"
"When I went to Hawaii, my Aunt who is a resident there helped us with a hotel and a beautiful lunch. When we flew back to Sacramento, I ordered flowers to be sent to her job to say Thank You.I ordered a simple bouquet of flowers with roses, lilies and more. I'll post pics. I ordered it through their web site. I guess I was under the impression it was going to be in a much taller vase but my Aunt's photo with it was a much shorter vase. She was happy anyway. But for me, I think for the amount I paid for...I even requested premium flowers which mean extra stuff to make it special. Overall my aunt was surprised to received it and was very happy. It was just a little misleading in photos when making the online order."
"So we came home from our vacation to LA from our anniversary to be greeted with a delivery the next morning, a lovely peace lily from Honolulu Florist from my mother. Of course I do my research for new plants coming into my home, unfortunately I found out this plant is considered moderately toxic to dog. My dog Lola is a cattle dog and kind of a grazer. So I called up the Honolulu Florist and let them know of our situation, the lady I spoke to was very friendly and receptive to my concerns and she said of current inventory she had a nice rubber tree plant in a cool bamboo box. Right up my alley, mild if eaten accidentally and I had one before and they are easy to care for and pretty resilient. So I head over afterwork. A far more convenient location in nearby kakaako but it did plot weird on google maps. The store front is more on Kamani street, like a block off ward and parallel to ward. It's the green mall directly right to the new Shepard Fairey (OBEY) mural. Great shop, lots of lovely arrangements and a bu ch being prepared in back. I met the lady I spoke to on the phone (didn't catch her name) super friendly and understanding. Told me how to treat and care for my new plant. I mean I didn't know there was a florist so close and convenient, I'm used to trekking to Chinatown with the hassle of traffic. My mom on the east coast ordered it, she doesn't even have a smart phone so I'm positive online ordering is easy. Definitely will come back for my plant and flower needs."
"It should come as no surprise that the quality, care, and beauty that Beretania Florist provides in their flower arrangements extends to their leis. I'm so grateful for this family of companies and the family that runs these small businesses; I wouldn't go anywhere else for my floral needs.My friend was coming to Hawaii on Jan 2nd and I wanted to get her a Haku lei for her airport arrival. Beretania florist was going to be closed for the holidays from 12/31-1/2 so I had to pick it up on 1/30 - that's three days before she arrived. I contacted the shop on Thursday to see if they had anything in stock and they did and said I could pick up on Friday. I picked up the Haku lei and left it in my fridge until my friend's arrival. Even though the Haku lei was already at least 4 days old the flowers looked and smelled fresh! On January 13th my friend asked me where I got her Haku lei from because she has it in her room and the flowers and smell are still beautiful - these flowers are at least two weeks old at this point! She's looking forward to getting some more leis for her family when they arrive and we will, of course, be returning to Beretania florist."

Awesome flower shop located in downtown Honolulu. I needed to grab a lei for my friend's graduation this week. I didn't feel like walking all the way to Chinatown so I looked at the flower shops on Fort Street. Thankfully Flower Fair was conveniently located near Beretania. I walked in and was assisted by a worker. I had a lot of questions and wasn't sure what to get, but she patiently assisted by offering suggestions and showing me the different leis. I told her I wasn't sure what to get and I'd come back on the day of the graduation to purchase it. She let me take pictures and think it over before I made my purchase the next day. I ended up purchasing a beautiful ti lei with white flowers. It was one of the suggestions the employee made. It looks simple and elegant. Perfect for my friend's graduation. Plus it was only $9.42 including tax. The price really can't be beat. I love such a friendly shop... and to support local businesses too! I am beyond impressed and thankful for the help I got.

I ordered the designer choice Spring mix bouquet for a friend's birthday. I'm in San Diego, so had to find a florist online and wing it and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Compared to the many other florists I looked at, Stanley Ito had a very nice selection of choices and the value was good compared to others. You can see from the picture what a nice job they did. 10/10 recommended based on my experience.

5 stars for an amazing same day flower delivery service for my best friend's baby boy at the hospital. Originally, I read the reviews but what really drawn me to Honolulu Florist was their great selection of "new baby" flowers with cute assorted vases. I went through so many companies online and nothing compared to what I could find on the Honolulu Florist website. There was a particular baby vase I was drawn to. A grey/white polka dotted elephant with an assortment of blue and white flowers, and a "Hello Baby" heart sign on the trunk; which fits the celebration. I ordered online with the premium size flower arrangement. Also, to confirm my order and requests; I made sure to call Honolulu Florist directly as soon as they opened at 8am. I spoke with the owner, Mady; who was really nice on the phone. She had confirmed that she have received my order and will make sure the arrangements are exactly what I had ordered and to deliver it around 1pm with two great choices of balloons that would be fitting for a baby boy theme. Today, my friend called and thanked me for the beautiful flower arrangements; which she took a photo of what it looks when delivered. I am 100% satisfied and I am very impressed by Honolulu Florist's customer service. Thank you so much Mady! You have just earned yourself a new loyal customer. I'll definitely order from your company again! :)

Of course I was that guy who had to buy flowers last second on Mothers Day and during these quarantine times lol. I get a pass though because I was slaving in the kitchen all day making breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the mothers in my family who came over to celebrate Mothers Day.Anyways, I must've went to 3 Safeways, 3 Times, 2 Foodlands, and 2 flower shops in Chinatown before I stumbled upon this place. Every place that I went to were sold outta flowers. I was this close to picking flowers from someones garden lol. The reviews for this place are horrendous, but fortunately for me, I had a pleasant time here. I thought the price for these flowers were the "norm." I bought each vase of mixed flowers for $49 each. I was prepared to buy $60 boutiques so this was definitely ok. The presentation was beautiful to me and it made the ladies happy.The staff are very fast and friendly. This place is located on your right side as you come down Maunakea Street off of Beretania. Only street parking are available and it's Chinatown people, streets are filled with criminals, homeless, druggies, and strange people. A matter of fact, there was almost a fight right in front of me while standing in line, but why am I not surprised. I practically grew up in Kalihi/Chinatown so unfortunately, this frequently happens. So in other words, please be mindful of your environment and surroundings when coming to Chinatown. Happy Mothers Day to all the actual mothers out there doing what they're supposed to do as a mother.

AH-MAZING to say the least! I called the day prior to when I needed my delivery done, (yes last minute). Chantelle answered my call even though they were in a big operations meeting. I sent email with my needs after we hung up and she responded within hours of my initial call. They were quick and responsive throughout the day. Kept me apprised along the way up until exact drop off WITH picture!!! The end result was WAY better than I had expected. They were able to meet my floral requests and more. The arrangement was gorgeous and looked way more than what I paid for. I can't thank them enough. I had never used them before or heard of them prior to searching for a florist on Yelp. Let's just say, I will be calling them for all my floral needs and recommending them to everyone who asks. Mahalo nunui to Chantelle, Angela and team!!!

"My wife's was sent a floral arrangement from Shirley's Flowers. It was a surprise when we got home. The arrangementwas left at our door. See the pic.It was beautiful and my wife loved it. Thank you, Shirley's Flowers"
"What a truly unforgettable and exceptional experience! So so happy I found them. I ordered an arrangement and did the designers choice. Designers choice is typically hit or miss when I ordered at other vendors, but I was impressed by their pics that I was confident that even if it came out differently than expected I still liked their arrangements. They are so elegant and sophisticated which was absolutely perfect! They also look so expensive tasteful. But they def don't overcharge. You get a lot of value. I think the magic also comes from the positive energy and love when doing the flowers & care for the people. They are so talented, artistic, creative. But on top of that they are so customer service oriented. It was such a pleasant experience. They called and left a vm the day before delivery to ask about what I'd like since I put in the comments of the flower arrangement I was hoping they can somewhat imitate, but I was so busy at work. Nonetheless they came out stunning! My friend was very happy with her flowers and just felt so wowed and special. They truly are beautiful. I order flowers quite often mainly in the mainland. And have ordered from few bigger vendors in honolulu since I have friends and family there. But honestly I am usually pretty disappointed. Communication, flower expectations, sometimes even delivery is off. I can understand things happy. But I've never been so impressed with a business. This will definitely be my go-to flower business. Thank you thank you! Thank you for the love and care you took into making these flowers the best they can be-it definitely shows! Thank you for your kindness, positivity on the phone. Professionalism. Wish there were more businesses like there like you, even beyond floral."
