Confucius Florist

Another year and another phenomenal flower arrangement from Confucius Florist. I swear they improve on what I already consider amazing flower baskets every single year. Excellent communication and timely delivery. Huge thank you for always taking our graduation to the next level!!!!

Call it procrastination or living in the moment, I chose this spot because , A) it was close by from where I was in the city and B) it was close by from where I was in the city. But I couldn't help checking this place out simply from the name. And of course on a day like Mother's Day, everything was going to be at least $50-100 for a bouquet of roses so why not see what Confucius had to offer me. Upon arrival it was somewhat bustling with activity and the staff was friendly , greeting me and asking if I was looking for anything in particular. I gave the smile and pointed inside. As I entered it was no different than any florist I have been to , a good variety of flowers, plants and roses of different colors . But what I really loved was the mini goldfish bowl by the counter because they had those cute multicolored fat bellied gold fish (I use to have many of those myself). I loved petting the fish (weird I know) and how they tickle your finger when they think it's food ... but I digress. We're talking flowers people, pet shop review coming up later.
The lady making the arrangements was friendly and told me to choose my flowers for a custom arrangement. I went that route and I have to say, she did a great job putting a bouquet together from all the flowers I chose.
We had fun conversations and the folks at Confucius had great energy.
And guess what? Mom loved the bouquet !
Thanks Confucius for the great customer service !

Great customer service. Toby was professional, easy to work with and an all around good experience. Would use them again.

Wonderful customer service and beautiful arrangements. Worked with me to make my order possible when there was an error on my end. Gracious and friendly

Warning, do not order your flowers here, walk-in retail is ok but pre-orders will be lost, forgotten and overpaid! I ordered 15 rose boutonniere and a few orchids for delivery a week before my grand-opening event. On my event day, they were late so I called them and to my surprised, they lost my order and I had to run to their store a few blocks away to sort it out. They apologized due to a new employee error who only worked 1 day and quit the next. They should have done more to contact me or make-up for it. They did deliver my order late but very underwhelming and not up to par for the amount I paid. So lesson to be learn, call vendors the day before to confirm and check but it left my first experience with them very bad. Will probably never order from them again.

Amazing service and prompt responses from Malen!

I needed a floral arrangement to be sent to a funeral home in New Hyde Park and after several unsuccessful calls from that surrounding area, I reached out to Confucius Florist as a last effort before I was going to bite the bullet and pay the robbery prices of other florists. Malen was amazing from beginning to end. We started with a basic phone call and wind up with several text exchanges and then she followed up with the order via phone. She helped me choose an arrangement size that was suitable for my needs and was able to text me to give me an idea of the different designs/sizes.

I stopped by the shop to pay the costs and I can tell it's been the local florist for many many years. I love walking into a florist that is completely green and everything is blooming and booming. There were many customers and she greeted each and everyone with a welcoming smile or a familiar call. Malen is just as nice in person as she is on the phone. You can tell she's been in this business for a long time and knows her stuff.

Thank you Malen once again for making this such a smooth and easy transaction!

Called a bunch of places and looked on many sites (including Groupon and LivingSocial) when deciding on a florist for Mother's Day, and Confucius was by far the cheapest. My mother's favorite flowers are tulips, so I called to ask how much they would be, and they said $3/stem and free delivery (the florist is about 30 minutes walking from my house). After taxes a dozen multicolored tulips came out to just under $40. My mom received them today and she was delighted with them! We were expecting just normal tulips but they threw in some peony ones and one fringed ones as well, and my mom said there were 15 stems total even though I'd only paid for 12.

The women who helped me was very helpful and knowledgeable! I selected a snake plant and another succulent. The prices are also great!

I bought wedding flowers from this shop and flowers delivered dead on my wedding day. I'm extremely disappointed and they ruined my very special day. When I called for replacement and they extorted me for more money for fresh flowers. I will not recommend this place to anyone or any special occasion! Unless you want your day to be ruined.

I dropped by to see if I can purchase Bouquet of flowers for my friend . I made two attempts to get someone's attention. There were two Asian ladies. One lady look at me and made eye contact and went about her. business. She didn't bother to say "hi someone will be with you" nada. Very rude since I was believe I was white old male with a bag or groceries . I asked her how much are the flowers outside , the only flowers outside mine you. She was so dumb and didn't know her inventory and asked me, "which one?" I pointed to the flowers there and she said 12$. I handed her a credit card, "15.00 minimum ". Told her I don't carry cash, she said ok, give me card. Annoying and rude , and I live in the area since the late 70s This is my second interaction with this dump. Beware: there are no prices on anything. She wanted to charge me 65.00 for a dozen of roses that were not even a bouquet, but still in a box of where I can get for 20.00 at a whole food in Tribeca. Now they dump all their store on the sideways where it way of people trying to walk. Very filthy and dirty setup. Pictures to follow - Those photos you see are "stock" photo, don't be conned photosa
