Hear from Our Customers
Time got away from you. It happens. But that doesn’t mean your flowers should look like an afterthought.
When you order from us, you’re getting fresh flowers designed and delivered by people who actually know Hell’s Kitchen. Not a call center three states away. Not a wire service that farms out your order. A local florist that cuts fresh roses, lilies, and seasonal stems, arranges them right here in Midtown, and gets them where they need to go.
We handle the logistics. You get the credit. Your flower arrangements arrive looking intentional, smelling fresh, and timed to make an impact—whether it’s a birthday surprise at work, an apology that can’t wait, or a gesture that says you remembered.
Columbia Midtown Florist isn’t trying to cover all five boroughs with one truck and a prayer. We focus on Hell’s Kitchen and surrounding Midtown—neighborhoods where timing isn’t negotiable, buildings have their own rules, and people expect things done right the first time.
We understand your recipient might be in a sixth-floor walk-up, a corporate tower with security protocols, or a restaurant kitchen during lunch rush. Our delivery drivers know how to handle that. We keep real inventory on hand—fresh tulips, hydrangeas, orchids, sunflowers, and classic roses—and design flower arrangements that hold up in New York conditions, not just for the Instagram photo but for the week after.
Hell’s Kitchen moves fast. We keep pace.
You place an order online or by phone. If it’s before the cutoff, same day flowers go out today. If it’s after, they’re scheduled for the next available window. You’ll know which one applies before you confirm anything.
Once the order’s in, we select fresh stems from current inventory—roses, lilies, tulips, gerbera daisies, seasonal blooms, whatever fits your request. The flower arrangement gets designed in-house. No outsourcing. No substitutions without a heads-up.
Then it’s packed for transport and handed to a driver who knows Hell’s Kitchen inside out. They deliver directly to the address you provided, confirm receipt, and you get notified when it’s done. If there’s an access issue—doorman, locked gate, nobody home—they’ll call you or the recipient to sort it out on the spot instead of leaving your flowers with a random neighbor.
That’s the whole process. Transparent, local, and built for people who don’t have time for complications.
Ready to get started?
Every flower arrangement from Columbia Midtown Florist starts with fresh-cut stems sourced from trusted suppliers. You’re choosing from roses, lilies, tulips, orchids, hydrangeas, sunflowers, carnations, and seasonal varieties depending on what’s available that week. We don’t rely on pre-made designs sitting in a cooler for three days. Each order gets arranged specifically for your delivery.
Hell’s Kitchen has everyone—theater professionals grabbing last-minute flowers before a show, residents celebrating birthdays in studio apartments, office workers sending arrangements to Midtown colleagues three blocks away. We handle all of it. Birthday bouquets. Sympathy flowers. Anniversary arrangements. Get well gestures. Corporate deliveries. Or just because.
You can request specific colors, flower types, or style preferences when you order. Want all white roses and lilies? Done. Need something bold with tropical blooms and bright gerberas? That works too. Add a card message, and it gets handwritten and included with your flower delivery.
Same day delivery covers Hell’s Kitchen and surrounding Midtown areas. The cutoff time is clearly posted, and if you order within that window, your fresh flowers go out that day. Planning ahead? Schedule delivery for a specific date. Either way, you’ll get confirmation when your arrangement is on its way and again when it’s delivered.
This is a neighborhood flower shop doing what florists are supposed to do—deliver quality flower arrangements on time without the runaround.
For same day delivery in Hell’s Kitchen, orders typically need to be placed by early afternoon—usually around noon to 2 PM depending on the day and delivery volume. The exact cutoff gets confirmed when you place your order online or call us directly.
If you’re ordering on a holiday or during a busy season like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, that window might close earlier. The system will tell you if same day flowers are still available for your address before you finalize anything. If you miss the cutoff, next-day flower delivery is always an option, and you can schedule it for a specific time window if that works better.
We prioritize orders in the sequence they’re received, so earlier is always safer if timing matters. But even last-minute flower arrangements get handled—just confirm availability first.
Yes. We deliver to residential buildings, office towers, restaurants, theaters, and businesses throughout Hell’s Kitchen and the surrounding Midtown area.
If you’re sending flowers to an apartment building with a doorman, our driver will leave them at the desk with the recipient’s name and unit number. If it’s a walk-up or building without a concierge, they’ll buzz the apartment or call the recipient directly to coordinate. For office deliveries, they’ll check in with building security or reception and get the flower arrangement to the right floor.
Include any helpful details when you order—unit numbers, floor numbers, company names, gate codes, or special instructions. That makes the delivery process smoother. If there’s an issue, our driver will contact you or the recipient to figure it out rather than just leaving your fresh flowers somewhere random.
The goal is to get your arrangement into the right hands without making the recipient hunt for it.
Most fresh flower arrangements last five to seven days with proper care, though some varieties like roses, lilies, and orchids can go longer—up to two weeks if conditions are right.
Longevity depends on a few things: the freshness of the stems when they’re cut, how they’re handled during transport, and how they’re cared for after delivery. We cut flowers as close to delivery time as possible, which gives you more days of life compared to flower arrangements that have been sitting around.
Once delivered, the recipient should trim the stems at an angle, change the water every couple of days, and keep the arrangement away from direct sunlight or heat sources. That’s it. No special tricks. Just basic maintenance.
If flowers arrive damaged or wilted, that’s not normal, and it should be reported to us immediately so we can make it right.
Yes. We handle custom requests regularly. If you want specific flower types, color schemes, or arrangement styles, just include that information when you order.
Want all roses? No problem. Need pastel tones with tulips and hydrangeas for a baby shower? Done. Prefer bold, vibrant colors with sunflowers and gerberas for a birthday? That works. You can also request certain flowers be excluded if the recipient has allergies or preferences.
We’ll work within your budget and let you know if something isn’t available that day. If a specific flower is out of stock, we’ll suggest alternatives and confirm with you before substituting. No surprises.
For more complex custom work—like large event arrangements, wedding florals, or corporate installations—it’s best to call us directly so you can walk through details and timing. But for standard custom bouquets and same day delivery, the online order form has space for notes and special requests.
We deliver throughout Hell’s Kitchen and extend coverage to nearby Midtown Manhattan neighborhoods including Chelsea, the Theater District, Clinton, Midtown West, and parts of the Upper West Side.
If you’re unsure whether an address qualifies for same day flower delivery, enter the zip code when placing your order. The system will confirm availability and show you delivery options for that location. Some areas outside the immediate zone might still be reachable with next-day delivery or scheduled service.
We focus on local delivery because that’s how we maintain quality and timing. We’re not trying to cover all five boroughs with one truck. The tighter delivery radius means faster service, better communication, and fewer chances of your fresh flowers sitting in traffic for hours.
If your recipient is outside our delivery area, we’ll let you know upfront so you can make other arrangements.
Delivery fees depend on the distance, timing, and day of the week. Same day delivery typically has a standard delivery charge that’s shown during checkout before you finalize your order. There are no hidden fees added after the fact.
Holidays and peak days like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas may have higher delivery fees due to demand and extended hours. Those rates are posted in advance, so you’ll see the total cost before committing.
If you’re ordering for a specific time window—like early morning or evening flower delivery—there might be an additional fee for that convenience. Again, it’s all disclosed upfront. What you see at checkout is what you pay.
For regular deliveries within Hell’s Kitchen during normal business hours, the fee is straightforward and built into the order total. No surprises, no fine print.
