Hear from Our Customers
You order flowers because the moment matters. Maybe it’s a birthday that snuck up on you, an apology that can’t wait, or you just want to brighten someone’s day in East Harlem.
Here’s what happens when you choose us: your flowers arrive looking exactly like what you ordered. No wilted stems, no “close enough” substitutions, no delivery disasters that leave you scrambling to explain why nothing showed up.
We’ve been doing this long enough to know that fresh flowers aren’t just about the blooms – they’re about the feeling someone gets when they see them. That’s why every arrangement leaves our shop the same day you order it, hand-delivered by someone who knows East Harlem’s streets and actually cares about getting it right.
Columbia Midtown Florist isn’t some faceless online company pretending to be local. We’re the family-owned flower shop that’s been serving East Harlem and Manhattan for years, and we actually know what works in this community.
You’ll find us creating arrangements for the busy professional who needs something delivered to their partner’s office, the family celebrating abuela’s birthday, and the local businesses who trust us with their weekly arrangements. We understand East Harlem’s rhythm – from the morning rush on Lexington to the evening quiet on the side streets.
When you call us, you’re talking to people who’ve walked these blocks, know which buildings have doormen, and understand that timing isn’t just important here – it’s everything.
You place your order online or call us directly – whatever works better for you. Tell us where in East Harlem you need the flowers delivered, when you need them there, and any special instructions that matter.
We create your arrangement fresh that morning using flowers we’ve hand-picked for quality. No day-old blooms, no shortcuts. Our designers know how to make flowers that look impressive when they arrive and stay fresh for days after.
Your flowers get hand-delivered by someone who knows the neighborhood. We’ll find the right apartment, wait for the recipient if needed, and make sure your flowers arrive in perfect condition. You get confirmation when they’re delivered, so you know the job is done right.

Every arrangement comes with flowers that were fresh when we got them and fresh when they leave our shop. We source from suppliers who understand that quality matters more than rock-bottom prices.
You get transparent pricing upfront – no surprise fees at checkout, no “delivery charges” that double your total. What you see is what you pay, period.
In East Harlem, we know timing matters. Whether you’re sending flowers to someone’s apartment on 116th Street, an office near the Metro-North, or anywhere in between, we plan our deliveries around real neighborhood patterns. Morning deliveries for business districts, afternoon timing for residential areas, and weekend scheduling that actually makes sense for how people live here.
Yes, we provide same-day flower delivery throughout East Harlem when you place your order before 1 PM. This includes all the zip codes in the area – 10026, 10027, 10030, 10037, and 10039.
We’ve been doing same-day delivery in this neighborhood long enough to know the streets, the buildings, and the timing that works. Your flowers get created fresh that morning and delivered by someone who knows East Harlem personally.
If you’re ordering after 1 PM, we can usually accommodate next-day delivery, and we’ll be upfront about timing so you know exactly when to expect your flowers.
Our delivery fee for East Harlem is included in the price you see online – no hidden charges, no surprise fees at checkout. We believe you should know exactly what you’re paying before you commit to an order.
The total cost depends on the arrangement you choose, but we don’t play games with pricing. What you see is what you pay, whether you’re sending flowers to an apartment on Pleasant Avenue or an office near the Triborough Bridge.
We’ve found that transparent pricing works better for everyone. You can budget properly, and we don’t have to deal with frustrated customers who feel tricked by hidden fees.
We handle this situation all the time in East Harlem’s apartment buildings and busy offices. Our delivery person will try to reach the recipient by phone first, and if that doesn’t work, we have backup plans.
For apartment buildings with doormen, we can usually leave the flowers at the front desk with clear delivery instructions. For buildings without doormen, we’ll try neighbors or building management if it’s safe to do so.
If none of those options work, we’ll bring the flowers back to our shop and contact you to arrange a better delivery time. We don’t just leave expensive flowers sitting in hallways where they might disappear or get damaged.
Absolutely. We create custom arrangements every day for customers who want something specific for their East Harlem delivery. Whether you need particular colors, specific flowers, or an arrangement sized for a certain space, we can handle it.
The key is giving us enough notice. For same-day custom work, call us before 11 AM so we have time to source any special flowers and create your arrangement properly. For more elaborate custom pieces, a day or two notice works better.
We’ve done everything from small apartment-friendly arrangements to large office lobby pieces for East Harlem customers. Tell us what you need, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Yes, we deliver to offices, medical practices, retail stores, and other businesses throughout East Harlem regularly. We understand that business deliveries have different requirements than residential ones.
We know which buildings have strict security, which offices prefer morning deliveries, and how to work with receptionists and building management to ensure your flowers reach the right person. Business deliveries often need more coordination, and we’re set up to handle that.
For corporate accounts or regular business deliveries in East Harlem, we can work out scheduling and billing arrangements that make the process smoother for everyone involved.
Our flowers are cut fresh and arranged the same day they’re delivered in East Harlem. We don’t use day-old flowers or arrangements that have been sitting around waiting for someone to order them.
We source from suppliers who understand that flower freshness starts before the flowers even reach us. That means proper handling, correct temperatures, and timing that prioritizes quality over convenience.
When your arrangement arrives in East Harlem, those flowers should look vibrant and last for several days with basic care. If they don’t, that’s a problem we’ll fix immediately – either with a replacement arrangement or a full refund.
