Flora Grubb Gardens Reviews

Great coffee (Ritual), to go along with wonderful plants and the things for successful gardening. Outstanding customer service

Best cup of coffee in SF. Find the heated bench out in the gardens.

CHECK the plant thoroughly before buying!!! We were sold a spider mite infested plant & they ve been hell to get rid of. Various pest sprays & copious amounts of water spray - they come back with vengeance. They re so minuscule we only noticed once we got home. FG offered bug killer and/or money off something else? That s like buying car finding out it s on its last legs then the retailer offering discount for another one? After spending over $200 I asked for a partial refund - since then I ve sent 2 emails & no reply we disinfected the plant again and I m losing hope on saving it.

Beautiful garden center + Awesome Ritual coffee = fantastic must-visit neighborhood spot!

Warning: the price tag here definitely is not the most affordable one in the city but they have so many cool and unique items that are worth the price!

Tips:
1)Must try the peanut butter cookie in the cafe!
2)The mini clay pots, located in the middle pots display area are so adorable and CHEAP!

They play with plants and containers. In other words...
have fun, gets my creative
juices flowing!

A fun place to visit and enjoy the amazing variety of plants and succulents.

Incredible garden, plants of all kinds, beautiful and unique containers. Very helpful customer service and delicious coffee. Every time I visit, about once a quarter I spend about 3 hours admiring all the plants, containers, the grouping of plants they put together and sitting in the spaces!

plant heaven! i love this place -- succulents, air plants, you name it. Adorable garden shop with a DIY planting station. You pick your plant & pot and all the planting supplies such as dirt, rocks etc are provided for you to unleash your creative side! Note that there is a sitting fee based on the size of your plant.

There is a Ritual coffee stand inside and a few tables scattered around the garden, allowing you to slowly sip and enjoy your time here. Beautiful ceramic pottery and all sorts of unique garden decor available for purchase. I wish I could spend all my weekends here!

I absolutely loved visiting this beautiful place with so many varieties of gorgeous Plans! The pots here are quite expensive, but we bought some anyway for the convenience factor. Also, they have great customer service as long as you approach someone who works there with questions, they are more than willing to help you out. And they have such a wide righty of plans. Also, they have a high-end coffee shop where you can read books, drink coffee, and chat with friends.

A magical oasis in the middle of a very industrial/commercial neighborhood. Plant selections are in abundance, with all in great health and of varying maturity. Prepare to pay a premium for the quality you receive, though you can always score some great deals if you look carefully and visit often. Little coffee shop inside to get something to drink while you browse (though current covid mask mandates have temporarily changed that). When the world is right again I plan on getting a nice coffee and sitting on one of those heated benches in the garden and just take it all in!

Expansive selection for both indoor and outdoor plants. Lots of pots to choose from. Very helpful staff.

Flora Grubb is amazing. Being a volunteer horticulturalist in Chicago for years, I love not only the living plant stock here but also the garden environment overall. What a nice place to spend an hour during an afternoon.

A bit more expensive but a wonderful garden shopping experience. Beautiful setting and did I mention the coffee bar?

Beautiful indoor/outdoor nursery with a friggin ritual coffee attached!!! Couldn t ask for more. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They helped me with all my questions and then some!

Hard to find location Without rageous prices I hate

Love the variety of indoor and outdoor plants here, and the potting stations where you can prep your plants to bring home! With a Ritual Coffee bar on-site, this is a wonderful spot to spend an afternoon.

Extraordinary selection of plants here. Everything is so lush and healthy, you can't wait to bring something home. Every staff member I've talked to has been so kind, helpful, and knowledgable. There is also a vast selection of pots to choose from. I can't recommend this place enough for all of your plant needs.

Great place to walk around, not so much to buy plants. Selection is somewhat limited, prices are high. They focus on plants that don't require too much maintenance, succulents, trees...

Looking for the unusual or the chic for your urban garden or even a plant that you can easily grow indoors? Then you MUST check out this fantastic place. Learn how to create a vertical garden by planting succulents in a hanging frame or "Wooly Pocket". Great website too!

This is one of the best places in san francisco... an amazing place that inspires you to get lost in the plants. Excellent place for ferns. There's also coffee which is a nice way yi

I love to stroll here once in a while. A beautiful place with magnificent plants! All the time I have questions, the consultant answers in detail and kindly, it's so interesting to listen to. From time to time I bought a new plant here for my home collection. Besides, it is always a pleasure to read a book here.

Beautiful pots, super healthy plants and so much inspiration.

Does anyone know if the Ritual Cafe is open now? Or if they allow you to sit on those wonderful heated benches? I haven t been here since shelter in place and think it might be a nice way to have an outdoor distanced meetup with my friend.

Great place, cool selection not cheap but your paying for the slightly hipster feel

Best designer landscape sales spot in SF! Knowledgeable staff and quality goods.

Gorgeous garden, wonderful plants and inspiring interior/exterior decor. You can even take some of it home--for a price.

Very cute place. Enjoyed all the plants that they had available. Staff are very knowledgeable about plants and are also very patient. I plan on coming here more often!

Love..love..love this place! Unique items and inspiration for your garden.

Great selection of gorgeous plants and containers. On site potting areas. Lots of inspiring ideas. Coffee bar.

Beautiful place with super friendly staff. Great selection of succulents and indoor plants.

Was excited to surprise a colleague with a gift card for Flora Grubb Gardens, but disappointed when no one could help her when she went to pick it up. She spoke with a man who said he knew nothing about it, despite her confirmation email. When we called, the man we spoke with couldn't help either. Luckily, Rachel found the gift certificate, but our friend had to leave the shop before anyone there could figure out what was going on. I'm sure the final product will be lovely, but it's a bummer the process wasn't a little smoother.

My rating is not so much of the store as it is of the surrounding area. The store is lovely with a great selection but a little over priced. The surrounding area is a bit questionable as I went in to shop with a perfect car and came out to a flat tire with no visible nail and someone offering to put air in it w/out even seeing the tire while staff didn t seem to care. Probably won t be going back bc of the area it s in. Would recommend parking on the side closest to the shop if traveling there.

Such a gem in the urban desert, which is fitting as they have such great plants perfect for a desert and everywhere else.

Eclectic selection of plants and extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff

Exquisite, quiet respite in an unexpected corner of Bayview. A truly beautiful nursery that excites your garden imagination and is equally capable of making all your garden dreams come true. A little pricey, but their quality and service aptly reflect the cost - and all this with little to no pretense. Did I mention coffee?! Ritual Coffee has a sweet little counter nestled amidst the foliage, and it's well equipped with delicious (AND STRONG) java served up by delightfully kind and attentive baristas. I can't say enough good things about Flora Grubb!

Great variety of drought tolerant plants and outdoor furniture. A fresh take on nursery. It was a sensory experience.

Flora Grub has the most interesting selection of plants, both for landscaping and indoors, in the city. They also get rare plants in from time to time, but these seem to fly out the door, so you'll need a bit of luck to snag them. It's always fun to stop in, get a coffee and browse the beautiful grounds, which are nicely landscaped and have lots of seating.

Amazing selection of flowers and larger pots. Would love to see a larger selection of smaller pots in stock.

Great great place for succulents! They offer tons of varieties and selection. Plus the service is great. They will help you with whatever questions you have. There's also a ritual coffee shop on site, where you can grab a cup of coffee and enjoy it in the gardens.

Very cool! Lots of great plants and accessories and art!

So beautiful. Must be seen to be believed. The people here, like the plants, are happy

I came here looking to get some plants for my apartment. This place is very nice, with a lot of variety and very helpful staff. Only downside is that it's a little expensive relative to similar stores. A small plant in a plastic pot will cost you $15-20, generally. The most basic coffee is $4 (not unreasonable for a coffee lover, but I wouldn't mind a simple cup of drip coffee in a place like this). As another reviewer mentioned, find the heated bench in the garden. I could have spent all day sitting on that thing.

An esquite experience... The various plants and other ecclectic flora creates a serine environment amongst a industrial jungle. Take a few moments with the Dandelion Hot Chocolate on the heated benches on a cool SF day and you will never want to leave!

Cacti, Succulents, shrubs - oh, my! This place has an incredible selection of plants to help fill out your apartment, patio or yard. Not only are the plants unique (you won't find this stuff at the big box stores) but the planters and arrangements and gifts are, too.

Great little coffe shop and floral shop in one spot pretty unique.

5 stars for wide selection

5 stars for friendly and knowledgeable service

5 stars for offering quality coffee (paid) and clean bathrooms

3 stars for price - outdoor plants are 25-50% more than SF Flower Market and indoor plants are 50-150% more expensive.

Perhaps the greatest space in the city. Such amazing light, amazing plants, amazing workers, amazing coffee, amazing heated outdoor seats.

Visited this place to find plants that the big box stores wouldn't have. Flora Grubb Gardens did not let us down. Lots of various plants, pots, containers, etc. The staff is helpful, friendly and willing to help you out. We ended up buying lots of plants which continue to bring joy to us.

Love it here. Can be pricey, but you're paying for quality healthy plants.

Breath of fresh air...LITERALLY! The moment I walked in this place I felt peace. It's a beautiful nursery with both indoor and outdoor plants. They carry a wide variety of unique plants and an array of succulents including mini ones! There's a coffee shop inside so you can enjoy a cup of joe and relax in the garden.

They also have a planting station so you can create and design your own arrangements. I loved the containers and pots they have to chose from. My favorite is the felt pouches that you attach to a sheet of ply wood. I love the look of layering plants.

Bright metal outdoor furniture hangs from the ceiling in an array of colors. I wanted to purchase one in every color! I can go on and on about this place but look at my pictures. They tell the story!

Beautiful, but expensive hipster nursery. Years ago, I wanted a plant that I couldn't find at the garden centers of Lowe's, Home Depot or other nurseries that I tried. I'd heard that Flora Grubb has a lot of hard-to-find plants, so I came here. When I asked about the plant that I wanted, I was told in a rather snobbish way that "We don't carry those plants. They're too common." Yeah, so common that I couldn't find them anywhere. Hrumph! That put a bad taste in my mouth for this place. That aside, people do seem to enjoy hanging out here and it is a very nice place to wander about if you're into plants. Flora's name seems to be destiny. :)

Wonderful garden center hidden away in the Mission Bay-ish neighborhood. Be sure to go to the left rear and see the vintage card serving as the planter - truly beautiful. The prices are higher than buying at Lowes or Flowercraft but the quality of what you get plus the experience are well worth it. There is a nice little coffee bar buried in the back too!

Extremely helpful staff to this first time plant daddy...and super welcoming.

Healthy plants, great atmosphere, a little pricey (like anthropology prices) but plenty of parking. There is also a nice food truck area out across the street with great pizza!

I love this place!!! So many beautiful plants and people who are so helpful and passionate. I came here for the first time today and spent way more time here than I expected, spending most of it looking at gasteria and haworthia. Generally, it's 3.99 for 2" and 6.99 for 4". Ask for Marissa if you have questions on cactus and succulents. Will definitely be back for more plants!

One of my favorite places in San Francisco. I came here often for a year because I was coordinating a wedding there. They've got Ritual Coffee onsite and also offer an inspiring place to buy succulents and other garden plants for your home. They have a number of Weck jars you usually find online and supplies for making your own terrariums at home. As an event space, it's stunning and you don't really have to decorate. Prices are higher but you'll find things you can't find in abundance elsewhere.

A lovely garden supply. Gorgeous indoor/outdoor space, dog friendly, and has pretty much everything you need, with great style.

Perfect spot for a date! You can pick out a plant, pottery, and use their soil/rock stations to plant it on site. The staff is beyond helpful and the place is gorgeous. They even have a coffee shop and multiple places to sit and relax. The pottery selection for indoors and outdoors is the best I have found near San Francisco.

I love Flora Grubb. I've purchased a few indoor plants here and most recently a hanging succulent display. Flora Grubb is gorgeous, relaxing, and a great place to get coffee. Parking is easy and the employees are knowledgable and friendly.

Fun place to peruse. They even have a coffee bar inside.

Amazing sanctuary of succulents and coffee in the middle of the Bayview.

Amazing selection of plants and things to put plants in.

I love this place. I always leave happy. Yeah, sure, some things are pricey ($155 desktop-sized pink plant stands, anyone?) but the nice part is that their stuff always seems healthy, which is more than I can say for their big box counterparts (I m looking at you, Home Depot and Lowes). Great place if you re looking to overhaul your yard, or even just your workspace or bedroom or whatever random room in the house with greenery, and looking to develop your plant parent skills.

A beautiful garden oasis in the city. Grab some coffee and a pastry in the shop and sit amongst the garden for some r&r.

If you are a succulent lover this place is a must. Great place for some photography inspiration as well. Its a one stop shop for the prettiest vases and plants. A great place to buy some green for your apartment.

They have a huge selection of indoor plants and helpful staff. A idle pricey but the quality is great. The pottery is also really pretty and unique.

I recently bought a plant from here and the leaves fell off I probably could have watered it more but didn't want it getting spoiled to where it expected to get water all the time I wanted to show it who's boss and I let it know that 3's company too because I live in a full house in the city city of Compton

An oasis in Bayview. Beautifully merchandised plants, pots, garden furniture, art installations, etc. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Flora Grubb is not cheap, but IMO worth it. There is also a Ritual coffee bar here and tables to sit at...I would go here for a coffee even if I wasn't in the market for a new plant...the atmosphere is that great.

A wonderful place with huge variety and helpful employees. Decent prices, too.

Great gardening place to get succulents and other plants in San Francisco. Friendly service,and wonderful garden designs.

Awesome selection of succulents and a decent selection of other plants, like ornamentals and herbs. It's a little pricey, but the staff is really helpful. They gave my roommate an extra succulent for free because it was his birthday. There's also a ritual roasters here, which is an added bonus. Great place tucked away in Bayview.

Be ready to be inspired when you step into this urban oasis in Bayview. The gardens here are gorgeous and it feels like you've been transported to a new world.

Florals Grubb offers tons of plants, pots, planting stations, succulents, garden furniture and more. They also have a coffee shop onsite so it's great for a post brunch mosey.

Be ready to pay too dollar though, this place ain't cheap.

Incredible selection (well more than a big box garden center), hip and beautiful setting, friendly and knowledgable staff, reasonable prices. Will be back!

Coffee house, seats among the beautiful flora and fauna with beautiful pottery and decorations for your indoor or outdoor garden. It truly is a magical place!

Flora Grubb is our favorite spur of the moment visit. the garden even just to walk around is amazing and on top of that the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable its always a pleasure. One of our favorite activities is getting an early afternoon capp from the cafe, warming up on the heated seats and picking out a new plant!

A hidden gem in the neighborhood. Nice garden and plantation setup. There is even a pop-up from Ritual coffee roasters.

Great selection of plants, pots, and other garden variety items. Friendly staff. Easy to hang out there longer than expected.
