Most talented florists in Seattle (and beyond).

by chewyjess

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.

Worst Customer Service

by threepiece

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.

A treat!

I got my lovely wedding bouquet from Buckets and was so pleased. It?s always a treat to pick up some lovely flowers for my home or a gift, and they are so friendly and hilarious. I love Buckets and so should you.
