Editorial Review for Buckets – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
While it may be one of the city's smaller floral shops, Buckets, adjacent to the Harbor Steps, packs a lot in a little space. With no room for cards or trinkets, flowers are the sole focus here. The flowers here are among the freshest and most lovingly selected you'll find. Add talented and friendly arrangers to the mix for a floral experience sure to brighten any occasion.

I have used Buckets in my Coffee shop since I opened 2 years ago (Cafe Migliore 1215 4th ave Seattle, Wa) and I cannot begin to tell you how many favorable comments I get from my customers every day. Every Monday, when the flowers are changed out, they are so excited to see what the new week will offer. A common response is "They have outdone themselves once again". Their flower arrangements are only surpassed by their excellent customer service. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration!!

Pros: Unique, inspired arrangements

Cons: No Cons.

An old lady who works there (whom I assumed to be the owner of the shop) was the rudest salesperson I have ever encountered. I went to the shop excited and prepared to order bouquet of flowers for a friend’s graduation. After much trouble, I finally secured a parking spot in front of the store, but I needed change to fill the meter. I ran to the store and asked if she was able to break my 5 dollar bill to pay for the parking, but she rudely refused. Admittedly I am young and may seem an unlikely customer, so I explained to her that I was there as a paying customer. The lady was so quick to judge me and actually commented that my five dollar bills that I was holding would not pay for the flower in her store. I was so shocked at her comment and stormed out of the shop. The reason that I went to the store is because I used to live by the apartment nearby and my family had been a loyal customer to the shop for at least three years now. Well, now she had lost our business, and I suggest anyone looking to keep their good mood in this cheerful summer weather to stay away from this flower shop.

Pros: Fresh unique flowers, Small but interesting selections

Cons: Extremely RUDE florist, expensive compared to flower shops nearby (at Pike Place) of similar quality.

Diminutive downtown floral shop makes the most of its space.  See the full editorial review.
