Rita Flora Flowers

Special place

by TexasKate

I love that this place is right on La Brea. Easy to zip in there to grab a "non-supermarket" flower arrangement on the way to someone's house. It's not cheap, but the quality shows.

If you've never had lunch in the flower shop, what are you waiting for? Great selection, and fabulous atmosphere.

• Pros: Unique arrangements, good food next door

Don't use this place for delivery

by jmc57

I live across the country and I called Rita Flora for a delivery within L.A. because of the top rated review here. The flowers may be beautiful but they were delivered a day late after the person I sent them to had to go to the store. They had called her several times and could not figure out her address, even though I had given it to them correctly -- twice. They fired the person responsible for the mistake, or so they say, but they wouldn't even refund the delivery fee -- crazy. It was only $15, you would think they would at least try to win back a customer after overcharging me for the flowers and inconveniencing the person I was trying to give a gift to! It's not much money but it did frustrate me on principle. Don't use this place.

• Pros: Flowers are supposed to be beautiful
• Cons: Didn't make delivery on time

aweful arrangments and overpriced

by lemonzest

i have been coming to rita flora for years because i live around the corner. i have always received great flowers and great service. today, i went in to buy graduation flowers for a friend and was utterly disgusted with the service and competence of the sales woman. first of all, the prices were raised. $7.95 for each rose!! then she told us to go to trader joe's or ralphs instead. but i was in a rush ... so... she proceeded to make the tackiest arrangement possible. upon which she squeezed the flowers so close together, the petals were bent and some fell off. i couldn't help but laugh at the large brown sleeping bag she had made with all the flowers choked up at the top. i will never never come here again! when the salesperson tells you to go somewhere else... listen.

• Pros: great location, pretty flowers, good ambience
• Cons: aweful arrangement skills, overpriced flowers

Beautiful, romantic, yummmmy and great service

by marinagirl78

I went to this to try the Rose wine because I got an email advertisement that looked interesting. I rarely do that but I'm glad I did in this case. The food is unbelieveable! There's some sort of flowershop in the same building owned by the same people I guess so it's just gorgeous and always has fresh flowers. Great for a romantic date. I'd make reservations, but I've been there for lunch and dinner without needing them. Park in the rear if you can!

• Pros: Terrific Food, Easy Parking, Great Service, Beautiful Ambiance
• Cons: There's only one location
