Kimm’s Flower Basket

We used Kimm’s for our wedding and she provided some of the most amazing arrangements I’ve ever seen, and at a fraction of the cost of a couple other places where we looked. We had a pretty complicated order and it was highly personalized. For some things we didn’t even know what we wanted, but in the store they walked us through the options and helped with suggestions which ended up being perfect. Incredibly high quality flowers, high quality work, fresh, delivered on time, and exactly as we ordered. Will definitely be back!

She refunded half our money! Thank you!

Swung by to study at the café which was closed as I arrived early. The florist caught my eye and they had on display beautiful daffodils and cacti and lovely flowers looking healthy and happy. I made a quick impromptu purchase and couldn’t be happier. I am setting up home and my flowers add to the beauty of the house. Thanks Kimm florists made my day!

Kimm’s Flower Basket literally creates the most beautiful and lush flower arrangements I’ve ever seen. The quality of flowers used are always fresh and never crumpled or gross like I have seen in other flower shops. I have gotten multiple bouquets from them on multiple occasions (birthdays, Valentine’s, Mother’s day).
this place is a mom and pop florist gem of Sunnyvale. Support your local businesses!

This place is a florist/​art gallery/​coffee shop/​sandwich shop. The business is owned and run by the Kimm family; Mr. and Mrs. Kimm, and their adult children, Tim and Tammy. There is one employee that runs the coffee shop/​sandwich bar; his name is Reed.
Let me just say, I have 2 very favorite coffee shops to hang out in, and Kimm’s Floral Art Gallery is most definitely one of them! Let me explain why!
I’m here, for the most part, every Friday morning at 9am, opening time. I’m am always greeted with a warm smile and a «good morning» by Mrs. Kimm, such a sweet and nice lady. Mrs. Kimm first thing in the morning places freshly cut flowers on each and every table.
Reed is the coolest dude; friendly, extremely polite, very quick on the service, his coffee drinks are always spot on, and he makes the most awesome sandwiches! From time to time, Tim and Tammy also help out, both cool people as well!
The bathroom is always spotless, all the tables are always clean and the floor is swept. The energy here is wonderful, plenty of natural light, 4 comfy sofa chairs, plenty of outlets, and fast free internet access.
A note on the few negative comments of the past, year or so ago. The 2 young ladies that were behind the counter, and responsible for the negative comments, they are long gone!
Long story short, you come here, you will fall in love with this place as I did!
FOLLOWUP (March 2016):
Coffee shop has closed down and flower shop moved to new location, sad news! I wish Mrs. Kimm, and their family well! Tim, Reed, I’ll miss our talks!

I just worked with them as my wedding vendor, and flowers are ok, and a little bit pricy. However, she promised they would set up and secure my aisle runner on the floor by pins. Disappointedly, they didn’t pin the runner, and when I walked down the aisle with my dad the runner already became a mess. Don’t even mention when we were about to take group photos. The runner was totally a mess. I can’t believe that they just used thin layer white paper as my runner, and charged me 55 dollar for 100 yard. Won’t recommend if you consider order the runner from them. Flowers are probably acceptable.

I absolutely love this place!
Tim and Tammy helped me plan my wedding flowers and they completely surpassed my expectations! Between sourcing the random flowers I had my heart set on, giving awesome advice, and being open and understanding to last minute changes my crazy bride brain decided needed to happen they made the whole process enjoyable
;)… not to mention the quality of flowers that they use, and the care that they put into the arrangements is unsurpassed. My wonderful husband has been purchasing flowers for me from Kimm’s for years, and every time I receive them I could not be happier– which made choosing them for our wedding a no brainer.
If you’re planning a wedding and want a florist that really knows what they are doing, and cares about making your day exceptional Kimm’s is the place for you!

This is such a cute and classic flower shop/​art gallery/​café. There’s local art here for you to browse. Painting supplies you can buy, while you pick up some flowers. The owner is such a sweet and gentle lady. It’s so nice to find some place that is still so local and quaint in Sunnyvale. The flowers are lovely and the owner arranged it for me so nicely, even though I picked a strange combination.

I’m a fan of the café. Recommended as a good alternative to chain coffee shops. Great place to do your own work or to have a small, private meeting. It’s generally quiet (except around lunch time), has great light because of all the windows, free wi-​fi, tables and couches, good coffee and a simple lunch menu.
You can always take a break and peruse the art in the gallery in the back. I haven’t bought flowers here, but they look nice.

I received tulips from here as a gift and the day after I got them 2 of the stems were already wilting. One of the flowers had a white fungus growing on it where the leaves met the stem and I had to throw that flower away. Overall, the quality of the flowers was sub-​par.

I stop by at Kimm’s for the occassional flower — it’s hard to miss as a large sign points out the location right on El Camino in Sunnyvale opposite of the Cherry Orchard shopping center.
A little mom&pop shop, although, «little» doesn’t really do the place justice. It’s an art gallery, event space, coffee sit-​in, and, flower shop after all. They do have a good selection of flowers and bouquets and if you’re not sure about your selection the owners will consult you in the best possible and friendliest way.
For my needs I found it a bit too pricey but I agree with my fellow Unilocalers, for big events this will be the right place to talk to.

This is the coolest place… quirky and local, which I love. It is a coffee/​tea/​sandwich shop, art gallery, and floral shop all in one. There is a nice waterfall and it just feels very homey. Quiet with lots of space and seating plus free wi-​fi. It was recommended to me by a gal I met on the linkAges TimeBank… will definitely be back.

I got my wedding flowers from Kimm’s Flower Basket. I thought it was a little expensive in the beginning but it was worth every penny. I showed a picture of style I wanted, and the florist made flowers exactly like I wanted. I loved all the colors and types of flowers she chose for my bouquets, table and church sanctuary flowers. I really appreciate all the outcomes and will definitely be coming back for other events.

I don’t think this is the main Unilocal page for Kimm’s Flower Basket, but I saw this one and thought I should direct people to the other, more helpful page.
Also, Kimm’s Flower Basket prepared my wedding flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony flowers, reception centerpieces) and did a phenomenal job. The florist was very patient, helpful, and knowledgeable while working with me to select the types of flowers I wanted. The prices were also very reasonable compared to what I was quoted for wedding flowers elsewhere. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Stopped by this place on a whim. I wanted to surprise my sister with a corsage for her birthday. It was early in the morning so they weren’t too busy, and were able to make it on the spot. It turned out so so beautiful. I was a little surprised at how much it cost, but I’m not really sure how much they’re supposed to cost… I would go back here again!

Swung by several times and asked for random flowers (daffodils, white roses, tulips, etc). They’ve always been very helpful hand selecting the ones they’re about to sell me, and inspecting them to make sure they’ll last for a while. They’ve also almost always had whatever I asked for, or had a very short wait for ones they didn’t have on hand.

I ordered a corsage for my son’s prom date. Went in today to pick it up and they had LOST MY ORDER!!! I showed my receipt and they made me one on the spot, but they ran out if the color ribbon we had requested. Instead of a deep royal blue to match his date’s dress, they used a light purple. We will never be back.

Ordered about a $ 1000 worth of flowers for my Grandfather’s memorial services and it was worth every penny. The arrangements of lilies, orchids, pale yellow roses, hydrengas and snapdragons were lush, fresh and fragrant. I appreciated that they didn’t use a lot of fillers. My Grandfather loved his garden and flowers… I know he would have been pleased.
The florist who consulted with us was professional, friendly and very helpful. I’m guessing she was the owner.
I’ll definitely be coming back for all other floral needs.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!
I went to their website to check out their flowers and decided to order the Telefora’s Smile for Me. I saw that the delivery fee was going to be $ 17.00 so I decided to call in the order in to get a discount on the delivery fee because I was just 2 miles away. The person on the phone said she would not charge me the full $ 17.00 which was fine and she would deliver by 3:00 pm. I decided to order the Premium size. She said no problem. The flowers arrived and what a disappointment! I was expecting a huge arrangement because I ordered the biggest size but the size that came was not even the size of the small version on-​line. The arrangement was placed in a round vase and the arrangment came ONE SIDED! I called and when I explained my disappointment the person did not care. She said she added more flowers and I told her she did not. There was no way that there was more flowers. All she would say was sorry. Sorry?! Well sorry lady, but you lost me as a customer and I will tell my 10 friends, and they will tell their 10 friends… and so on and so on.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. They exceeded my hopes not to mention expectations, and made me very happy!
My fiancé and I changed our minds about three weeks before the wedding and decided to get flowers after all. Yes, I said three weeks. We decided this impulsively on a Saturday night after dinner out and much to our frustration, all the other florists were closed. We drove to Kimm’s expecting it to also be, but it was open! Also, they said they could do it in that really short time frame.
I knew I wanted really red roses in my bouquet to contrast with my royal blue gown (hey, I don’t look good in white) and I didn’t want the tacky white plastic holder. She suggested wrapping it with a single white ribbon. The prices were so reasonable, we decided to go ahead and get altar displays and table centerpieces as well. We picked out a small inexpensive setting design in the book and added boutonnieres for the best man and my brother. (We’d already planned on getting the bridesmaid and flower girl wrist corsages). We’d already spent so much money on everything else and hadn’t budgeted for flowers, so we went minimal. She made some suggestions and we let her have free rein as long as she stuck to the colors and prices. I’m so glad we did, because when we got everything, it was even more beautiful than the pictures we’d chosen. Instead of the cheap, plain, thin vases in the book, she’d used very nice ones with heavy bottoms and a graceful shape and she’d stuffed them with more flowers than we expected in very beautiful arrangements. I can tell they like it when they can use their artistry! She also found chiffon ribbon to match my dress and used that in the centerpieces and altar displays. My bridal bouquet was FAT with more than a dozen roses, deep red and packed together beautifully in a globe – no filler, just gorgeous roses opened just the right amount and very healthy. They lasted a long time, too.
Everything was better than I hoped for and the prices were very reasonable – especially considering it was off-​season (October) and on short notice! Remember, all this was done in three weeks, and flowers can’t just be baked. She didn’t stuff everything full of seasonal fall foliage either.
