I cannot say enough good things about Leaf! I called last minute—literally an hour before homecoming—and they created the most beautiful corsage and boutonniere I’ve ever seen. From the moment I called, they were polite, ready to help, and incredibly accommodating. The turnaround time, quality, and attention to detail were unmatched. You can tell they truly love what they do. The shop itself is such a gem in Akron’s Highland Square—so warm, welcoming, and full of beautiful things. 10/10 experience. I’m already looking for a reason to go back! 🌸💐✨

What a delightful recommendation! I needed 3 small winter bouquets for a Christmas gift at a lunch gathering. Perfectly done. I set a price point for each and I was more than pleased with the results! Loved browsing too. Lots of lovely merchandise. (The vase in the photo was a vase at home)

Phenomenal floral and gift shop! Matthew, the owner, and his team are incredibly personable and truly talented. It’s no surprise they’ve already opened a second location—this place is something special. I’ve purchased plants and even taken one of their floral arrangement classes, and every experience has been wonderful. Highly recommend supporting this standout local business. Thank you to the whole team!

Five-star wedding recognition to the so many talented artists and event specialists like the team at Leaf Home and Bloom! Mathew, Ally and team were masterful at taking my daughter's "enchanted forest" inspiration and making it come to life. Whether they walked into the barn or the tent, guests were in awe saying words like, "magical", "perfect", "whimsical" and "the prettiest thing I've ever seen". They literally had to stop to take it all in. LEAF doesn't limit their vision to flowers; they incorporated live trees, greenery, shrubs, twinkle lights and even random branches from their blueberry bushes, with ripe blueberries on full display. The large scale of their plantings made our big spaces feel cozy. Centerpieces were created with live moss as the base and her wedding cake stand was a live tree stump. It was truly outdoor elegance at its finest. And their linen selections were pieces of art. Who knew you could mix and match colors and textures? Thank you so much! The outcome was fabulous and the process to get there was so much fun. It will forever be a five-star memory! Lisa Chapman-Smith

I absolutely love this place-the fun gifts, gorgeous plants, incredible decor and such a welcoming and friendly staff. Today, we went for one of their classes-wreath design, and they knocked it out of the park! Mimosa's, coffee, Christmas beer and delicious sweets were offered. The owner, Matthew is an incredibly sweet and talented instructor. We can't wait to vo back.

Words can't even express how much I love and appreciate Matthew and the entire staff at Leaf. They took our vision for our wedding and completely blew us and our guests away with the final results. Their attention to detail is unreal. We received so many compliments on every single detail that had their touch on it. We can't thank you enough for everything. You truly made our day more beautiful! Love, Mr. + Mrs. Boltz

In planning our wedding, my fiancé and I wanted to go with a florist who had the ability to create artistic, unique, and romantic floral arrangements to match the natural beauty of our outdoor venue. I went on google and started searching florists in Akron. Leaf’s website caught my eye. Immediately I noticed that it wasn’t your average florist. Their stylish vision was evident in my first few clicks on their website. My fiancé and I set up a meeting with Matthew. After sending him photos of bouquet I was drawn to, we met for a brief sit down conversation with him. It wasn’t long before he was showing us flower options and explaining what would be in season and grown at their farm. We left the shop that day excited; we knew we could trust him, and what he would create for us. We were proud to be supporting a local business. Fast forward to our wedding day. I stopped by the florist to pick up my bouquet and boutonnières for my fiancé and Dad. One look at my bouquet and I gasped. It was exquisite! Absolutely a breathtaking work of art. I cannot say enough about the different flowers, textures, colors and greenery he used. It felt one of a kind. And the boutonnières, although similar to my bouquet in style and concept, were original and simple pieces of floral art in and of themselves. I’d recommend Matthew and the other florists at Leaf for any of your floral needs!

From the moment I told Matthew my wedding colors were going to be centered around the labradorite stone, he knew exactly what to do for our wedding day. The bouquets were so beautiful, and each flower he chose worked so well with the others. I loved the more natural shape and the way the colors matched with the greens and blues of labradorite was so perfect. The centerpieces at the reception were also gorgeous, and they brightened up the room in a way I never expected. But my husband and I completely fell in love with the arch they created for our ceremony. We didn't give Matthew much guidance, since I couldn't find any arch designs online that I connected with. I just told him I wanted something natural that fit with the labradorite theme. So when we saw what he put together, we were amazed and so happy we chose Leaf for our wedding day. I highly recommend them to others!

Highly recommend this local shop in Akron! So many awesome surprises await shoppers! Whether you are in need of a new plant, gorgeous fresh flowers, or a unique gift item, this is the place to shop. Very knowledgeable staff! Once you step inside, you will immediately enter into a festive decor mode. Take your time to look around. Great place to shop for someone who's hard to buy for or for a special occasion gift.

I definitely recommend this team! I wanted to send a mile stone Birthday arrangement to a family member. I am from San Francisco and unaware of the options. When I called I spoke with. Mathew.. he made me feel comfortable .. I said I trust you . He assured me the arrangement would be gorgeous! Funny enough when I asked my aunt if she received the flowers she said yes and they are gorgeous! Remember especially during the pandemic tip well to those taking care of you ! And local is better. Next occasion I need service in the area this is my first stop Great job team leaf

Leaf's customer service is wonderful! I called to order flowers for delivery to a hospital, and a cheerful arrangement with plants I requested was delivered to my relative within two hours! She loves them and says they smell great! Thank you, Leaf!

Super cute and insanely well decorated; felt like I was walking into a fairy forest. Had a good selection of healthy plants, cute trinkets, and other gifts. It's a bit expensive, a tad too much for me to visit again. I did leave with a plant, though, so it wasn't enough to stop me.

A co worker told me about this cool little spot in the Akron area. Being new I still didn't know much about the city. I was welcomed into the store by their amazing staff. The store was beautiful, I almost forgot I was in Ohio! The store was filled with plants and flowers two of my favorite things. I can't wait to be back, I bought a cute little plant and a funny card.

A few months ago I ordered an arrangement over the phone as I have before. I had high expectations from previous experiences but when I got there to pick up the flowers they were good but not great and certainly below previous deliveries. However, I was most offended by the line asking for a tip. Are you for real? They lost a customer then and there. Wonder if it is new owners.

I'm in Florida, & ordered flowers for my boss to be delivered to a colleague in Akron for the holidays. I ordered from Leaf on the recommendation of a friend, and due to the shop's great online reviews. The staff took the time to listen to the particulars of my request. We reviewed the arrangements on their website together, and came up with a plan for a 'Designer's Choice' arrangement, with a few suggestions. The care and expertise was readily apparent during the conversation. The flowers were delivered on time, and the recipient was thrilled. There is always a concern when ordering online & not knowing who to trust to create a suitable arrangement. Leaf did a great job with the order, even given the rush of the holidays and working during a global pandemic. You can rely on them to do a great job with your floral order.

Usually the plants I buy from leaf are healthy and happy, even though they're ridiculously overpriced. This time I am absolutely appalled. I bought a sansevieria, and when I got home, put it on my desk. Later that day I found it spilled on the floor. When I picked it up I realized it was just a plant that had been cut at the base and plopped haphazardly on some dirt. No roots, just cut at the base and balanced in a way too small pot. The pic I included is after repotting in well draining soul, giving it some rooting hormone, and setting it in a sunny, but not too sunny part of the room. Still no growth, not dying but no growth. Honestly guys??? This plant was botched. There are So many better places to get healthier plants at a better price.

A dear friend's mother passed and I wanted to send a live plant. I'm in Miami so I looked online for a local florist. Unfortunately they dropped the ball BIGLY and a local friend recommended LEAF. I called instead of online and it was answered on the first ring. Chris was WONDERFUL and whipped up what I wanted, emailed me a photo in less than an hour! I cannot say enough about their customer service!!!! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Found this gem last week & loved their shop!! The owners were so sweet & helpful with caring for my new plants. You can get a bouquet or just some potted plants too. They even sell their handmade soaps (&more!). Already gifted them to family & they don't even want to use it it looks & smells so good Definitely will be stopping in again!

I love stopping in this shop! They have a beautiful selection of flowers, plants and gift items. I can't wait to see their new location. The staff is friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Words can't even express how much I appreciate Matthew and the entire staff at Leaf. They took our vision for our wedding and completely blew us and our guests away with the final results. Their attention to detail is unreal. We received so many compliments on every single detail that had their touch on it. We can't thank you enough for everything.

They sure know what they are doing! Always beautiful arrangements and delivered promptly. Very freindly and professional!

Matthew goes above and beyond to provide beautiful flowers. A friend needed a bloom for his mother's funeral, and Matthew donated his personal flowers to provide a beautiful bouquet in a short time. Extremely happy. You will be also

I will preface this by saying that I work in a profession where I see various floral arrangements throughout my day. There are plenty of great florists in the Akron area, but Every Blooming Thing consistently puts out unique and gorgeous creations. Unlike some of the other florists in the area, they don't have "signature" pieces that they routinely send out. I truly appreciate the fact that EBT puts together really unique pieces that just seem to "fit" each individual person or occasion. Unfortunately, I needed them for a rather sad event in my life recently and as I walked into the shop I just started crying. These guys dropped everything and took the time to listen to what I wanted, pulled out some flowers from the back, threw out some ideas, and helped me figure out just exactly what I wanted/needed. The bouquet they ended up arranging for me was perfect and my family got so many comments on it. It gave me the smallest amount of peace and comfort in such a heartbreaking time. I truly cannot say enough good things about these guys, their skills, or their flowers!

Chris was incredible with helping us pick the perfect plants for our family members for holiday gifts. He explained the types of plants that would thrive best given where the plants would be. he even re-potted the plants for us so they were ready to gift. Every time we go in, the entire staff is incredibly friendly. We will definitely be back for any gift giving ideas in the future! Leaf is definitely one of the best small businesses in Akron. :)

Great floral and gift shop! Unique gifts with a variety of price points. Nice candles made on site. Friendly service and a reward program keep you going back. I went twice in one week and the merchandise changed so they have nice variety.

This is not just a floral shop, its a floral and unique gift shop. Its not your usual cheapy, cheesy gifts but items well thought out and delicate for anyone special on your list. The staff was lovely and the the prices themselves reasonable. I recommend it to anyone. Glad you're in the neighborhood!

Wow! What a find. Visited the store next door and then popped in here. Ong! Drop dead gorgeous floral arrangements, garden items, unique gifts and cards. Stunning displays. Will definitely be back when in the market for something special.

WOW! This is all I can say about this FANTASTIC floral shop. I needed a funeral arrangement but didn't want just the same old same old. I explained all the various aspects of the man's life & how much he meant to our family. I also provided some choices in flowers & left the rest to him. He created a perfect bouquet which totally captured this special man's personality. The arrangement was established on a circle slice of a tree. (He didn't know the property the man lived on was full of trees.) Then he added some tools because I told him how handy he was. Finally he designed a beautiful arrangement with all of the flowers we discussed. I asked him to send me a picture to share with my daughters & he did. I added them in the photo section. WOW WOW WOW! Thank you for helping me provide a special arrangement to the family of a very special man.

I went with Every Blooming Thing for my wedding flowers based off solid recommendations from friends. Scott did a fantastic job working with me to create the image in my head, but was also up front about budget the entire time. I wanted a wildflower look but did not have many specifics down, but Scott patiently sat with me, my fiance, and even my roommate to come up with the perfect wedding flowers. I could not be more pleased with the result. They were beautiful. Easiest vendor we worked with by far! You won't regret going with him.

Every Blooming Thing did my wedding flowers in September of 2016. I originally met with Scott and was sold on how well he seemed to understand my vision. A few month before our wedding, the shop changed ownership. The new owner was very kind but overall less professional than Scott. I sent Matthew (the new owner) several emails detailing what I wanted and where the flowers should be. I sent him pictures of the bouquets that inspired me and the mock bouquets that Scott has made. He was difficult to get a hold of and I ended up making a couple more meetings with him before the big day because I was feeling so uncomfortable. On the day of the wedding, the flowers were not what I had ordered. He had ignored size requests, color requests, and the type of arrangements I wanted. We had a table to honor deceased members of our family which he put a few rings of leaves on. It really wasn't the tribute I'd imagined. I had sent him pictures of beautiful plum bouquets and on the day of he provided me with predominantly white bouquets with fuschia flowers. The flowers did not match any of the other decor at our wedding. We were using Fall colors and Matthew made bouquets of summer colors. The arrangements were beautiful but simply weren't what we wanted. When I contacted Matthew to discuss my disappointment, he was argumentative and refused to admit wrong doing. He did end up giving us a very small refund for obvious mistakes. Wedding planning is extremely stressful. I trusted all of my vendors to "have my back" and make sure we were on the same page. Every Blooming Thing was the only vendor that let me down.

Scott did my wedding flowers in 2009 and they were luscious and amazing! I always recommend them! So helpful and even though they were really busy, I always felt taken care of! The best in Akron

Excellent service with great floral choices at a variety of prices. Pick up or delivery options. Their website is easy to navigate. Knowledgeable, kind staff. A great local option to the big online competitors. I appreciated their attention to details about delivery. Highly recommend, 5*****

I called my Aunt Violet this morning and she said that the cheese and crackers were delivered to her this morning. While she still doesn't think there was $60 worth of fruit in the basket, the extra cheese and crackers made up for it. If she is happy, I am happy. This review should make you happy.

I currently live in Baltimore and wanted to send my grandmother flowers for Mothers Day in Akron. I called the day before and had same day delivery. My grandmother thought they were beautiful and they look just like the bouquet I requested from online. The service really was wonderful for being so last minute. The people here are thoughtful about arrangements, professional, and reliable. I will definitely be using Every Blooming Thing again in the future.

I cant possibly say enough good things about Scott and his wonderful shop. I first used him as a wedding planner for a few of my brides. They were always more than pleased with his work. Then I got to use him for my own wedding, and I still look at my pictures of my wedding and am blown away by the beauty of his work. His prices are more than reasonable, and for the quality, he cant be beat. He will work with any and all budgets, to make your dream a floral reality. I recently moved out of state, but still encourage all akron-area customers to go to him, I'm only sad that I cant use him :)

Earlier this month, a good friend bought us a hand bouquet from this florist. The flowers were beautiful, with several nice varieties of blooms and greens. It came with a small packet of flower food and the best thing is the flowers lasted for two weeks. I am very impressed with their product and would definitely be a customer there myself when the opportunity arises.

My daughter sent me a beautiful arrangement from Every Blooming Thing. It was so beautiful!! I love in Akron but had never heard of them. Well, now I have a new go-to florist that I will use exclusively! Wonderful choice of flowers!! I am really impressed and will suggest EBT to all my friends too!

One of my favorite little shops in the whole city. Scott, the florist, is a delight! I'm always amazed at how long one of his bouquets/arrangements last!! Weeks! I always know he's purchased the freshest flowers and made an arrangement with such care! He also did our wedding flowers, which were absolutely perfection. The shop itself is so much more than flowers too - stop in for a thoughtful gift (local artists' works and handmade goodies abounding).

I love Every Blooming Thing because of the beautful flowers and quick delivery. Scott always has everything I need and if he doesn't have it...he will get it for you! Thanks for all of your years of unique flower and gift deliveries!

Best gift and flower shop in the area. Matt is an exceptionally talented floral artist. Highly recommend for special occasions.

Scott is a thoughtful and talented florist. He helped us with an ongoing gift for my grandmother, and always brightened her day with his arrangements. He was kind enough to share photos with those of us who live farther away so we could see what she was getting. When my grandfather died, not only did he create beautiful arrangements using contrasting colors (to match the grandchildren's school colors), he sent a note and small arrangement from himself as well. I would highly recommend this florist to anyone!

A great flower shop in Akron, Ohio with a beautiful assortment of flowers and always friendly service. They work within any price range and often we've gone in, said we're looking for something around $20, and are absolutely blown away with the bouquet. They are very willing to work with you to help create the bouquet you want.

This is my favorite flower shop. The shop looks great, there's hundreds of cool things there to just look at. Great for gifts, and pretty much the only good place to get a well made bouquet. The service is friendly, but not over bearing, and the owner was so helpful.

By far the Best customer service I have ever received from a floral shop. Matthew was a delight to talk too and full of creative floral arrangement ideas and options. I called from Los Angeles to order a same day birthday floral arrangements for my mother - I wanted lavender roses. Matthew shared with me that he expected to receive lavender roses in the daily delivery, which had not arrived at the time of my call. He offered to telephone me when the delivery arrived. What I really appreciated and enjoyed about Matthew's customer service was his suggesting other flowers with purple hues that could be a wonderful option should the delivery not include the lavender roses. Couple of hours later Matthew called with good news - lavender roses had arrived in the daily delivery! I decided to go with lavender roses combined with the other flowers Matthew had recommend with purple hues. The flowers were delivered the same day and Matthew even texted me a photo of the arrangement - gorgeous!!!

Thank you very much for your wonderful arrangement for my friend's father's funeral. I ordered it online the night before so as a very late order I was unsure you could deliver it on time. I was highly satisfied that not only was it delivered on time, it was the best arrangement there! I highly recommend Every Blooming Thing to anyone who wants great flowers and great service. Please don't hesitate to use me for a reference for prospective customers. Thanks again for your wonderful work. Sincerely, Henry Pabian Canton, Ohio

I went to Every Blooming Thing to purchase flowers for a funeral. I placed my order with the young lady there. I want to say Megan, but I won't swear to it. I expressed to her my concern about my flowers reaching its destination, just from a prior experience with another florist. I requested that a picture be taken and sent to me so I could at least see what was being delivered. She made note of the request on the invoice. Well, needless to say I never received the photo. Called and asked about it and the arrangement went out before a picture was taken. I later spoke with the owner Matt who basically said "we did nothing wrong" and proceeded to tell me they don't promise pictures. It was picked up before a picture was made..........I promise not to use them again. Lesson learned. (Megan?) said she would look for a blue container, since I was requesting blue flowers be put into the dishgarden arrangement for color, to put it in. Well, instead it was placed in a red container because they couldn't get a blue one.... red with blue. Okay. I spent close to $100 for the arrangement and that was the best response I could get. Poor customer service.

Excellent flower arrangements and service. Walked in on a whim and the florist whipped up something for my anniversary. Beautiful and unique.

I recently asked Every Blooming Thing to provide the flowers for my wedding celebration. I asked for a Tuscan look but left the discretion and creative decisions to Scott and his team. Not only did they provide the most gorgeous arrangements with a mix of stunning, fresh, and fragrant flowers, but they put in beautiful fresh lemons, artichokes, and fresh herbs including the most lush rosemary and thyme I have ever scene. They used huge hydrangea heads and arranged lanterns and candles throughout the tent. They even provided these beautiful Tuscan glass candle holders that shimmered so pretty when arranged throughout the tables. The flowers were a highlight of the event. So here is the best part - of every vendor I had to work with, from the DJ to the caterer, etc, my florist is the ONLY one that stayed on my budget, never asked for more money, never tried to up sell me additional services. I cannot say enough good things about Every Blooming Thing. I love these people; they are honest and do phenomenal work.
