Hear from Our Customers
Life moves fast here. Birthdays sneak up. You’re in back-to-back meetings and just realized you need to send something today.
That’s where same-day delivery actually matters. Not as a marketing line, but as the thing that saves you when time runs out. We’re located at 3 West 51st Street in Midtown, which means your order doesn’t travel from New Jersey or get passed to a third-party service. We make the arrangement in our shop and deliver it ourselves.
Orders placed before 2 PM Monday through Friday get delivered the same day throughout Manhattan below 100th Street. We’re not guessing at timing or outsourcing the logistics. Our drivers know which buildings need appointments, which doormen to check in with, and how to move through Midtown during lunch rush without delays.
You get confirmation when it’s delivered. The arrangement looks like what you ordered. And the person receiving it gets flowers that were made fresh that morning, not packed in a box two days ago.
Columbia Midtown Florist operates from the heart of Manhattan at 3 West 51st Street. We’re a local flower shop, not a call center routing orders to whoever’s available.
Every birthday bouquet is made here by our florists. We source flowers fresh each morning from the wholesale district, so your arrangement starts with the best blooms available that day. Our delivery team knows Manhattan because they work here daily—they understand building protocols, security procedures, and how to navigate this city efficiently.
We’ve built our reputation on reliability. That means handling your order from start to finish without handing it off to strangers. You’re working directly with the people who will make and deliver your flowers, and that control makes all the difference when timing and quality actually matter.
You place your order online or by phone. If it’s before 2 PM on a weekday, we’ll deliver it the same day.
We receive your order immediately and start building your arrangement in our Midtown shop. We’re using flowers that arrived fresh that morning, arranged by hand based on what you selected. If you included a custom message, we write it out and attach it to the arrangement.
Once it’s ready, our delivery driver takes it directly to the address you provided. They know the building landscape in Manhattan—whether it’s an office tower that requires sign-in, a residential building with a doorman, or a walk-up in a busy neighborhood. They’ll coordinate with building staff to make sure it gets to the right person.
You’ll receive confirmation once delivery is complete. If there’s any issue with access or timing, we contact you directly to work it out. No automated runarounds or vague tracking updates. Just straightforward communication about where your flowers are and when they’ll arrive.

Every birthday flower arrangement from Columbia Midtown Florist is made fresh in our shop the day it’s delivered. You’re choosing from designs that range from classic birthday roses to mixed seasonal bouquets, all built by florists who’ve been doing this work for years.
We’re not shipping pre-arranged boxes or using filler flowers to cut costs. Each arrangement reflects what’s fresh and available that day from our morning sourcing trips to the wholesale flower district. That’s how we keep quality consistent without locking you into generic options.
Manhattan delivery comes with challenges most people don’t think about until something goes wrong. Our drivers handle those details—building security that requires advance notice, doormen who need specific instructions, office receptions that close at certain times. We’ve delivered to enough locations across Midtown, the Financial District, the Upper East Side, and beyond to know what works.
You also get transparent pricing. The cost you see includes delivery within our service area. No surprise fees at checkout, no hidden charges for same-day service. And if you need something customized—different flowers, specific colors, a particular style—you can call us directly and talk to someone who will actually make the arrangement.
Yes, if you order before 2 PM Monday through Friday. Our Midtown location gives us a real advantage here—we’re not coordinating with outside florists or dealing with bridge traffic from New Jersey.
Same-day delivery works because we control the entire process. Your order goes straight to our florists, who make the arrangement in our shop using flowers we sourced fresh that morning. Then our own drivers deliver it, using routes and building knowledge they’ve developed from working in Manhattan daily.
We deliver throughout Manhattan below 100th Street. That includes Midtown office buildings, residential areas on the Upper East and West Sides, downtown neighborhoods, and everything in between. If there’s a timing concern or building restriction we need to navigate, we handle it directly—no third-party miscommunication or delays.
We deliver to Midtown offices constantly, so we know the drill. Most office towers have security protocols—sign-in requirements, ID checks, delivery windows. Our drivers are familiar with these buildings and know how to move through them efficiently.
When you place the order, include any details that will help: floor number, suite number, recipient’s phone number if available. If the building requires advance notice or has restricted delivery hours, let us know and we’ll coordinate timing accordingly.
We’ll work with the reception desk or building staff to make sure your birthday bouquet gets to the right person. We’re not dropping it at a loading dock and hoping for the best. And if there’s any issue with access, we’ll contact you directly to figure it out rather than leaving you wondering what happened.
Because we make every arrangement by hand in our shop, and we’ve been doing this long enough to know what works. You’re not getting a pre-packed box that was assembled days ago in a warehouse somewhere.
We source flowers fresh each morning from the wholesale district. We choose blooms based on quality and freshness, then build your arrangement that same day. The designs you see online reflect what we actually create—we’re not showing you stock photos of arrangements we can’t replicate.
If you have specific preferences, you can call us and talk through what you want. Need certain colors? Want to avoid certain flowers? Prefer a modern style over traditional? We’ll customize it. The goal is an arrangement that looks like you put thought into it, because you did—and we’re just executing on that vision with flowers that photograph well and last.
We deliver throughout Manhattan below 100th Street, which covers the vast majority of residential and commercial addresses in the borough. That includes all of Midtown, the Financial District, Chelsea, Greenwich Village, the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Our Midtown location makes delivery efficient. We’re centrally positioned, so whether you’re sending birthday flowers to an office near Grand Central, an apartment on the Upper East Side, or a restaurant downtown, we’re routing from the middle of it all.
If you’re unsure whether we deliver to a specific address, call us. We’ll confirm coverage and give you an accurate delivery timeframe. For addresses above 100th Street or outside Manhattan, we can often accommodate with advance notice—just reach out and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Yes. When you place your order, there’s a field for your custom message. We’ll write it out on a card and include it with the arrangement.
Keep it as long or short as you want. Whether it’s a simple “Happy Birthday” or a longer personal note, we’ll make sure it’s legible and attached securely so it doesn’t get separated from the flowers during delivery.
If you’re ordering by phone, just tell us what you want the card to say and we’ll take care of it. This is one of those small details that makes a big difference—especially when you’re sending flowers to someone’s office and you want them to know exactly who it’s from and why.
