The shop is just off Broadway, with easy parking nearby, and the website says it is open six days a week. Customers mention bouquets most often, and say the flowers look fresh and last well. One buyer received a complimentary upgrade on a bouquet. Another ordered from the USA for a sister's birthday in New Zealand and found the process smooth, with staff who reached out to add notes for the card.
Customers who collected in store say the team identified the bouquet, wrapped it with ribbon and added a personalised card. Pick-up time options are praised.
