Hear from Our Customers
Here’s what matters when you need to send flowers: they show up when you need them to, they look like what you ordered, and nobody calls you three hours later saying there’s a problem.
That’s the baseline. You’re busy, the person receiving them has their own schedule, and the building might have security protocols or a doorman who needs advance notice. We handle that because we’ve been doing Manhattan deliveries long enough to know which buildings require appointments, which ones have loading dock restrictions, and how to time arrivals around lunch rushes.
Orders placed before noon get delivered the same day throughout Roosevelt Island and Midtown Manhattan. We’re not outsourcing to a third party who’s juggling 50 other stops. Our drivers know the routes, the buildings, and how to get your arrangement there intact and on time.
Columbia Midtown Florist operates out of Midtown Manhattan, which puts us close enough to Roosevelt Island to make same day delivery realistic without cutting corners. We source flowers fresh each morning from the city’s wholesale district. Every arrangement gets made in our shop by someone who’s done this for years.
Roosevelt Island has a specific demographic: young professionals, retirees, diplomats working near the UN. People who value reliability and don’t have time for delivery failures or customer service runarounds. We built our process around that.
You’re not getting pre-packed boxes shipped from a warehouse. You’re getting hand-crafted arrangements made the day you order them, delivered by drivers who understand Manhattan logistics.
You place an order online or by phone. If it’s before noon on a weekday, we can deliver same day to Roosevelt Island and most of Manhattan below 100th Street. If it’s after that, we’ll confirm next-day delivery and give you a timeframe.
Once your order’s in, we pull fresh flowers from our daily sourcing and build your arrangement in our Midtown shop. No pre-made stock. If something’s unavailable, we call you before substituting. You see the price upfront, including delivery. No hidden fees at checkout.
Our driver gets your arrangement, confirms the address and any building-specific requirements, and delivers it during the window we gave you. If there’s an issue—recipient’s not home, building won’t accept deliveries, whatever—we contact you immediately and work out a solution. You’re not left wondering where your flowers are or why nobody’s answering your emails.
That’s it. Straightforward process, clear communication, no runaround.

Every arrangement includes fresh flowers sourced that morning, hand-arranged by our florists, and delivered in a timeframe we confirm upfront. You’re also getting a local shop that understands Roosevelt Island’s layout and Manhattan’s delivery challenges.
Roosevelt Island’s population skews toward professionals and retirees who expect premium service without the markup. Median home values here top $1 million, and median rent sits over $3,000. You’re not looking for cheap flowers—you’re looking for reliable delivery and quality that matches what you paid for.
We also handle corporate accounts and weekly delivery services if you need recurring arrangements for an office or lobby. Wedding flowers are another specialty: we work with venues throughout NYC, manage setup and delivery, and source premium blooms specifically for your date. If you’re coordinating an event, we’ve supplied flowers for film and TV production sets, so we understand tight timelines and specific creative requirements.
For personal orders, you’re getting the same attention to detail. Whether you’re sending flowers for a birthday, anniversary, sympathy, or just because, the arrangement arrives as promised, looking like what you ordered.
Yes, if you order before noon on a weekday. We’re located in Midtown Manhattan at 3 West 51st Street, which gives us direct access to Roosevelt Island without the delays you’d get from a florist operating farther out or routing through a third-party service.
Same day delivery works because we control the entire process. We’re not waiting on another company to pick up your order, and our drivers already know the route. They’re familiar with Roosevelt Island’s building protocols, security requirements, and timing considerations.
If you order after noon, we’ll confirm next-day delivery and give you a specific timeframe. We don’t promise same day delivery if we can’t guarantee it. You’ll know exactly when to expect arrival before you finalize your order.
Every arrangement is made fresh in our shop the day you order it. We’re not shipping pre-packed boxes or outsourcing to a fulfillment center. You’re seeing photos of arrangements our florists actually create, and that’s what gets delivered.
If a specific flower isn’t available—seasonal availability changes, or our morning sourcing didn’t include it—we call you before making substitutions. You’re not finding out after delivery that half the arrangement got swapped out for something cheaper.
We source flowers fresh each morning from NYC’s wholesale flower district. That’s the same supply chain used by high-end florists throughout Manhattan. You’re getting quality blooms, handled properly from sourcing to delivery. No shortcuts, no wilted stems, no “good enough” substitutions made without your approval.
We contact you immediately and work out a solution. Options depend on the building and situation: sometimes we can leave the arrangement with a doorman or building manager, sometimes we need to reschedule for a specific time when the recipient’s available, sometimes we can deliver to a workplace instead.
What we don’t do is leave flowers sitting in a hallway, mark the delivery complete without confirmation, or make you chase us down for answers. Our drivers carry phones and have direct communication with our shop. If there’s a problem, you hear about it right away.
Roosevelt Island buildings often have specific delivery protocols. Some require appointments, some only accept deliveries during certain hours, some have security procedures that need advance coordination. Our drivers know these requirements because they’ve delivered there before. That reduces the chance of a failed delivery, but if something unexpected comes up, we handle it in real time instead of leaving you in the dark.
No. The price you see includes the arrangement and delivery. We don’t add surprise fees after you’ve already entered your payment information.
This is one of the top complaints about online flower delivery: customers get hit with service fees, rush fees, weekend fees, or other charges that weren’t disclosed upfront. We don’t operate that way. You see the total cost before you commit, and that’s what you pay.
Same day delivery doesn’t cost extra if you order before our cutoff time. We’re not charging you a premium for doing what we already said we’d do. Our pricing reflects the actual cost of sourcing quality flowers and delivering them reliably in Manhattan. It’s higher than a budget option, but you’re paying for real service and quality control, not just a transaction.
Yes. We handle weddings throughout NYC, including Roosevelt Island venues, and we offer corporate delivery services for offices, lobbies, and events.
For weddings, the process starts with a consultation where we go over your vision, venue requirements, and budget. We source premium flowers specifically for your wedding date, handle all setup and delivery logistics, and coordinate timing with your venue. We’ve worked with venues across Manhattan and know how to navigate their specific requirements.
Corporate services include weekly deliveries for office spaces, lobby arrangements, and event florals. If you need recurring arrangements, we set up a schedule and handle it without requiring you to reorder each time. For one-time corporate events, we manage the same level of detail we bring to weddings: consultation, sourcing, delivery, and setup.
Roosevelt Island’s proximity to the UN means we’ve worked with diplomatic clients who need reliable service and discretion. Whether it’s a personal celebration or a professional event, you’re getting the same attention to logistics and quality.
