Solabee Flowers & Botanicals

We live in the neighborhood and have spent thousands of dollars at Solabee over the years to support a local business, purchasing various plants, pots, soil, flowers, and gifts for friends and family. Their customer service has become very rude in the last year or two, and yesterday I had my last straw. When my partner and I decided to stop by to get a single flower for a bud vase (which we previously purchased at Solabee), the employee who finally dragged themselves out of the back area to check us out repeatedly made snide comments and 'jokes' that it was 'just a single flower,' and 'just a $3 purchase,' like the sale wasn't worth their time. Well, we could have not spent anything that day, and that will now be the last $3 we'll be spending at your store. You'll do better off going down Mississippi to Pistil's, where they are actually friendly and nice to their long-term paying customers!

I purchased 2 arrangements from them for my husband’s celebration of life. I didn’t want the traditional “funeral” type. The artist at Solabee provided the most gorgeous arrangements that reflected his love for natural but elegant. They lasted thru the interment at the nation cemetery, the celebration of life party, a trip to the beach and then back home! The last blooms lasted a whole month! Stunning doesn’t do justice to their work!! Thank you!!!

Solabee saved the day. I called first thing in the morning needing a same day delivery to the hospital for my niece. they were so kind & attentive to ask what I had in mind and then they created a beautiful arrangement. The colors were soft, warm, & uplifting, with a perfect mix of blooms & greenery that felt elegant but cheerful. It instantly brightened her hospital room & lifted her spirits. Truly above and beyond service and talent. Highly recommend Solabee for all your floral arrangement needs

Solabee was wonderful to work with for our wedding florals! To order, you submit descriptions and photos of what the vision is and Solabee will create arrangements with flowers that are in season. The suspense of not knowing exactly what the arrangements would look like was exciting. When we had to change our wedding venue due to unforeseen circumstances, Solabee suggested additional wedding venues and made the change process extremely easy. They did a fabulous job and we got so many compliments on our wedding day. Even after the wedding, the flowers lasted for another week (despite being outside in the heat for the wedding). We're so glad that we chose them!

Have been a huge fan of Solabee for years. They are so kind and helpful and make the prettiest arrangements. When my fiancé and I decided to head to the courthouse we asked them about doing a bouquet with boutonnières and corsages and they were SO excited for us despite the fact that we didn’t need any venue flowers (some florists don’t want to make just a bouquet - who knew?!). We placed the order online (elopement package!), gave very vague details (colors we preferred), and they knocked it out of the park. Thank you, Solabee! Your flowers were the only obviously wedding-related thing I wore that day and I’m so glad we have the photos to remember. I also loved the valentine bouquet I received two weeks later - count on them for any flower need!

This is such a beautiful arrangement! The bright yellow ranunculus flowers are so cheerful and full, and the little white flowers and greenery make it look fresh and elegant. The white vase is simple but classy, letting the flowers stand out. It’s a perfect mix of colors and textures—great for brightening up any space and any occasion! The bouquet arrived fresh and beautifully arranged in a vase with water, which kept the flowers in perfect condition. It was carefully packaged in tissue paper to prevent any damage during delivery. Everything was well-protected, and the flowers looked just as stunning as in the photos. Very happy with the quality and presentation!

I chose Solabee as the florist for my October 2023 wedding due their reputation in the community as well due to their overall esthetic. The result of what they created was way above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Everyone was amazed at how gorgeous the flowers were, many people saying my bouquet was the most beautiful they'd seen. Solabee was extremely responsive and very helpful throughout the process as well. Absolutely worth the investment!! Thank you Solabee! Photo Credit: Catalina Jean Photography

I got the elopement bouquet option where it’s a surprise with whatever they get at the market that day and it turned out so well. My only concern was that it would last several days as we had to pick it up on a Monday and our elopement was on a Wednesday, which I noted in my order. Well let me tell you, it was even more gorgeous on Wednesday as the blooms opened more. And even better, it lasted all day driving, hiking 5 miles and being blown around in the coastal wind!! I was so impressed.

Stopped in to buy a gift and the staff was extremely helpful. Included a card so our friends will know how to take care of the plant and offered a beautiful gift wrap. 10/10 would recommend

What a cute find! We Love our terrarium! This shop is loaded with attractive plants, beautiful pottery/planters and all things floral. I grabbed a few succulents for my south facing window too. Friendly service. Fun interior. Can't wait to return and buy more plants.

I've both sent and received flowers from Solabee. The arrangements are always exceptionally beautiful and filled with a nice variety of flowers. You can tell they are prepared with care and attention to detail. If you follow the care instructions that come with the arrangements, they can last a very long time! Obviously the prices vary depending on what size arrangement you choose. They have an excellent selection of sizes that give you great options no matter your budget. The team at Solabee is also very kind and helpful! I recently had a friend send me flowers for my birthday and she accidentally input the wrong delivery date. She didn't notice her error until the morning of my birthday and they were able to turn out a gorgeous arrangement and have it delivered that afternoon! 10/10 would recommend Solabee for all your flower/plant needs.

I called in from out of town. I was looking for a nice sympothy plant to send to family member. Sadie helped me by sending several plant & pot options via text. She was quick, polite and knowledgeable about the plants. The transaction was smooth and easy. The plant was ordered in the late afternoon and delivered the next day. Excellent customer service!

Beautiful flowers every time. On time delivery. Very easy to work with. Use them every time I get flowers inPortland.

A dear friend had to say goodbye to her cat of 20 years. RIP Syd, you are one for the books! Some besties and I gathered some funds for a very special gift and went straight to Solabee. I know nothing about plants, or design for that matter, but thankfully Anaya was there to save the day. I was stunned by the customer service, but more than that I was moved by the care shown. Cheesy as it may sound Anaya knew this wasn't just a plant! Thanks for helping us brighten a day!

They did a great job on flowers we sent to our daughter when she was sick. Daughter LOVED them! Just stunning. Easy ordering online and quick delivery.

I've gotten a few bouquets from Solabee that are "florist's choice", and they have all been so gorgeous. It's a bit pricey, but the artistry is worth it. I also recently went into the Killingsworth location and it's so beautiful, modern, and serene. They have other types of plants and things for sale. Looks like a dream to work at. Will definitely keep coming back to Solabee.

This place is right across the street from where I work. I went here to get some bereavement plants and wow, they really have unique stuff. I loved this place!! I bought a couple small plants myself. Customer service is excellent too! The plants are a little bit pricey, but I can understand that given the uniqueness of the store. They give little cards as well with care instructions. Very cool! I'll definitely be going back!

I was gifted THE most beautiful bouquet from Solabee today! It was great that it came with a little instructions card for how to take care of it.

Walking into this shop is like being transported to a Magical Garden, a sense of calm and tranquility welcome you. Healthy, hardy houseplants of all sizes, textures and lighting requirements fill the space, even trailing from hanging planters. I love to slowly walk around, looking in every nook and cranny to take it all in, then take another lap around. Those that work at Solabee are extremely knowledgeable and they want to help you find a plant that will thrive in your home's conditions. I've learned so much for them over the years. You have to know the lighting and humidity in your home and then select a plant that grows in those conditions; so many pick a plant they love and wonder why it doesn't adapt to their space. It's the other way around! While my home gets lots of natural light due to its floor to ceiling windows, as shocking as this sounds for Portland, it is too much light for many plants causing burnt leaves. Now I buy plants, or arrange them in ways that larger plants provide shade for others, like Anthurium, who grow under trees and plants in nature. My plants are thriving and reward me with growth and blooms. Even my Christmas cactus bloom more than once a year. Solabee also has a shop in NW on the corner of NW 24th & Thurman. If you are a plant lover or know someone who is, Solabee is a must! In addition to providing houseplants, they create creative, stunning flower arrangements that will brighten anyone's day!

While the flower arrangement was beautiful, it brought spider mites into my partner's apartment that very quickly spread to their rare house plant collection. Such a pain to treat and deal with.. As much as I love supporting a local business I won't do this again.

I got an elopement package as well as some bulk floral from Solabee for my wedding a week ago and the results were so stunning. I feel like their florists are really artists in the way that they can take inspo photos and ideas and cololrs and create something so unique and magical and beautiful! The bouquet was (in my opinion) the prettiest wedding bouquet I've seen and the bulk floral that they selected was so beautiful and colorful and interesting. Cannot recommend enough!!!

I've bought several plants over the years from Solabee's. Always a friendly face and great plant care advice. I recently took my plant to get repotted and they didn't hesitate to do so. Loyal customer for life.

Wahoo!! Finally a botanical shop that's open when they say they're going to be. And, and freaking Florida Ghost! The shop is beautiful, the staff was very helpful, and they are following safety protocols. Love, love, love this shop!

I visited Solabee looking for house plants earlier today and I already want to go back! The store is absolutely gorgeous and the plants are well taken care of. They have a diverse selection of both plants and pots. The employees are very knowledgeable and will offer plant care cards upon request. I loved that there were plant care cards posted throughout the store, it really helped me with deciding what I was looking for. There is plenty of street parking off of Killingsworth.

Solabee's "elopement" package was exactly what I wanted for my small wedding--I wanted to just trust Solabee to create a beautiful, seasonal, fresh bouquet and not think about the kinds of flowers I wanted or any particular "look" I was going for. I visited the Killingsworth store and spoke with Antonia about what I wanted. Based on the sample photos on the Solabee website, I chose the "vibrant" option, because I wanted to have a colorful bouquest. Antonia asked if there were colors I wanted to have or avoid, with the caveat that elopement bouquets are made with the freshest, most beautiful flowers that are available the week you need your bouquet, which I was completely fine with. I also wanted some tasteful flowers for the table but nothing too elaborate, and Antonia suggested ordering 4 bud vases, for $25-$30 each--they were exactly what I hoped for! Each was unique and stunning, but complemented my bouquet perfectly. I could not be happier with the gorgeous flowers Antonia arranged for my wedding. Solabee just knocks it out of the park every single time. I love that the elopement package allows you to have such lush and beautiful flowers in a sustainable way, using the flowers they already have in the shop. You can't go wrong with Solabee's classy aesthetic, so to me, it truly felt risk-free and yet a little exciting to see what magic they would create :)

I recently purchased their "elopement package" to get a bouquet and boutonnière for our wedding, and they did a terrific job! I had a vague vision of the look I wanted but wasn't sure about specific flowers, and Solabee turned my vague description into a gorgeous bouquet. Highly recommend!

They are amazing!! Donovan was the best! I was so sure that my rubber tree was dead but Donovan helped reassure me that I wasn't killing it and how to continue taking care of it. Donovan helped recommend another plant for me and gave me care instructions. They did a great job repotting my plants for me as no additional cost. It's definitely going to be my go to plant shop. Thank you so much!

Although they are very nice on the phone, make sure you see a photo of the arrangement you request BEFORE Solabee sends it to your recipient. The arrangement I ordered was one from THEIR own photo gallery and what was sent was a whole different vibe, different colors and choice of flowers.

Where to start.... the owner(s) and staff must be so proud of how perfect the space has come together. It is such a tranquil existence slowly making your way back and forth through the store admiring, touching, deciding who your next family member is going to be. Both times have proven to be one of the least stressful shopping experiences I have had. The gals working that morning were over the top helpful. We felt more like talking with friends than an employee. All though we werent there to buy a bouquet, I look forward to when the occasion presents itself. I live in Hillsboro, and will gladly continue making the journey to this gem of a business!

Simply put, this is the most well-designed and gorgeous plant shop/florist I've ever seen. It looks like a movie set where two actors would meet cute. I presume one would be an employee and the other would be a customer with a British accent. Yes, Solabee Flowers: The Movie would be a flipped remake of Notting Hill. And I'm just a boy, standing in front of a plant shop, telling it that he loves it. I mean seriously! look at this place! Such amazing light. The tile work! And then of course the plants themselves! Every inch of this place looks like it should be in a movie or a magazine or at least one of those REALLY good Instagram accounts. People talk about the prices, but I've managed to find a number of plans here that were priced reasonably. You're not buying plants from IKEA, people. They'll cost a nit more. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they clearly have an eye for design. What I don't know if they have is a shop cat. They desperately need one if not. Go here and spend all your money on plants. You'll be happy that you did.

Suuuuper cute place! The have a very wide variety. The young lady there was helpful and nice. I bought the plant in the picture for $9. The pot is mine and not purchased at Solabee. They also have a corgi store dog! He's a cutie. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is because I think they are a tad over priced. Right after I went here, I went to Pistils Nursery on Mississippi Ave and they were about $10 cheaper on some of the bigger plants.

Look no further for the CUTEST flower and plant shop in town. This place screams Tumblr and Instagram but - they have beautiful flowers for purchase and plants. The plants all looked healthy and there are pots to purchase too. The pots are more on the expensive side but there are some cheaper "plain" terra-cotta pots for sale too that are cheaper. The service was fantastic and they do flower arrangements too!!

Truly a beautiful shop. I order flowers for my job, and we use Solabee. The employees + clients who recieve bouquets from Solabee have nothing but nice things to say, they take design requests and always deliver quality flowers. The shop employees are helpful, kind, and super pleasent. Their plants are all super high quality, and they are so kind when offering advice or recommendations for your plants and space. I wouldn't buy houseplants from anywhere else, and I'm dreaming of a wedding JUST so I can have Solabee do the flowers! Great shop, great service, great products

I received the most gorgeous birthday bouquet from a coworker during the COVID event. So gorgeous and unique! I will be using this florist in the future. Thank you for your lovely work!

Amazing staff- they made ordering an arrangement out of state a breeze. I think the photo speaks for itself. in love!

We received a gorgeous bouquet from Solabee yesterday for our 30th anniversary. We love it so much!

I needed a bouquet for a bridal shoot last minute and was a on a budget . I explained my vision and Solabee did not disappoint !! The exceeded my vision and the customer service was amazing . Thank you again Solabee you added and extra special detail for my bridal shoot !

Stopped in today to check out their selection of cacti. Having been to Portland Nursery yesterday to do the same, Solabee has much nicer, healthier looking plants than Portland Nursery and better prices, plus a more varied selection. Bonus, if you buy one of the beautiful pots, they will pot the plant for you. Really nice people too. We'll definitely be back. Looks like a good place for gift plants and cards as well.

I spotted some issues with my plant purchase after taking it home - and despite the fact that some time had passed before they were made aware of the situation (I was trying to remedy it on my own before involving the shop), the staff were super understanding, knowledgeable and kind in helping resolve the issue. I wasn't expecting that, as many other shops avoid accountability after you take a plant home. Refreshing customer service, and I will shop here again.

I come here regularly for friend's birthdays, client gifts and occasionally something special for our home. The plants are so healthy and happy and the space itself is remarkable, especially the beautiful mosaic floor which they say was actually covered up when they first took over the space- wild! Walking in there I just feel so much better- definitely my happy place. The staff is knowledgeable and always helpful. I am so glad that this oasis is here and happy that the west side shop is doing great too. Haven't checked it out yet but knowing these guys it's killer ;-)

I'm only gonna give them a 4 even though they deserve a 5 for flowers. I was pranking a friend (I live in California) and I left specific instructions NOT to reveal who sent them. Her (my friend) smart a_s called and got them to tell her. A 20 year old prank down the tubes!

It's categorized as a nursery on Yelp, and it fails to measure up to one. They should have a revolving door so people can walk in, see prices, and leave within a single revolution. You'd be much better off at Paxton Gate (up the street) or the Portland Nursery (a hop, skip n' a jump at NE Stark and 63rd), for both better prices and selection. In the same day, I've been to multiple nurseries and shops, and for 4 inch plants they charge $9 for what other places charge $5.99 - 7.50. That's undeniable. Note how quick they are to respond to negative reviews. They're desperate to deny their pretentiousness and overpriced selection. Don't fall for their hollow, insincere comments. Patronize other local businesses instead. They aren't so desperate to prove themselves.

I booked Solabee in December 2017 for my May wedding. When I was looking for a florist, I had no idea the weekend we picked, a holiday, was the busiest weekend for florists everywhere. After interviewing several florists who were slow to respond, or obviously did not get my vision or were lacking customer service, I finally met Antonia with Solabee, who sat down with me for an hour at their gorgeous shop over a fine cuppa tea and really took the time to pour over my exhaustive Pinterest board to glean my vision for my wedding. She actually did this again as my venue changed so I needed to update and expand my order. My wedding theme was true vintage, Scandinavian (Danish/Swedish), and romantic. My wedding color was true pink in various light shades and I wanted true pale pink peonies, delicate ferns, and for my bouquet, I wanted calla lilies and lily of the valley. I was not doing a lot of decor as our historic venue was already very elegant, so I relied heavily on flowers as my main decor feature. I loved that Solabee allowed for a modest deposit and had a reasonable final payment date. The whole process working with Solabee is what it should be like working with any wedding vendor; sadly, so many other wedding industry and florist vendors know they can charge a lot due to the "wedding tax" without actually earning it, but Solabee is WORTH.EVERY.PENNY. I had a very small overall wedding budget, and still doubled my floral budget, and would gladly do it again for the oustanding experience and craftsmanship of Solabee. The only thing I would have chamges, it would be to have the flowers delivered. Due to their schedule and large scale of business that holiday weekend, they were not able to accommodate two deliveries to both our accommodations and our venue on our wedding day, but it was easy enough to have a friend pick up our large order. Antonia was sooo incredibly wonderful to work with; I could not have been luckier having her design our bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flower crowns, flowergirl baskets, centerpieces and table arrangements, altar piece, and candleabra arrangements. Everything was STUNNING!!! Everyone was so taken with the flowers and they made a beautiful wedding completely extraordinary! When I walked into our venue for the first time, I was brought to tears at how transformed the the flowers made the space. Antonia's artistry and attention to detail shined through. Antonia easily understood my vision, and made it happen. One VERY happy Bride here.

Great place to get quality plants!! They tend to cost a little more but I think it's worth it supporting a local business and the plants I pick are very healthy. I own hundreds of houseplants and I'd estimate about a quarter to a third come from Solabee. Great service, associates remember me and I appreciate that. Recently we had a problem with transaction/payment after I had left the building but Britany was very glad to assist me over the phone so I didn't have to drive all the way back. 10/10 customer service and satisfaction. So happy to have been buying plants here the last three years or so. :)

I ordered a bouquet from Solabee for my PDX friend's 60th. Living in California I searched around for the top PDX florists online and serendipitously came across Solabee. Without getting to see what type of flowers I was getting and just giving Solabee a simple description of wanting an elegant, full but special bouquet, I was floored at the gorgeous arrangement they put together for her. Appreciate their ability to deliver too within a few days of my order within PDX. Such a great experience and definitely not my last. xoxox

Wow, what a wonderful store! Great selection of every size plant, knowledgeable staff, and the young man who helped me was the best. They had common houseplants and some unusual to rare ones. The prices were competitive with other places I've been. I'll be back!!

My man got me flowers from here for Valentine's Day. The prettiest bouquet I have ever received. He ordered over the phone, told them my favorite colors and they nailed it. He gets most of the credit but I thought they deserved some too : )

The beauty of this shop made me want to write a review for a plant shop! So aesthetically designed. Such beautiful plants and flowers. Very very helpful service for a plant novice like me. And a cute dog to boot! A tad expensive for sure, but hey, I'll pay that premium for the experience.

My now sister in law recommend I check out this shop while I was planning my wedding from California to Washougal Washington. I am so happy I did. They made me a gorgeous flower crown that I couldn't have imagined. I was able to to describe what I want and sent a couple reference pictures and the produce such an amazing flower crown. Thank you so much!!!!! They made the transaction easy for me to make from California and it was easy to place my order. Thank you so much for making an amazing crown and making my wedding day even more beautiful with such a beautiful piece.

Um, what can I say. My daughter and I LOVE this place - and the care the put into everything they do. It feels magical every time you step inside the shop walls, with new plants to look and learn about every time we (my daughter and I - who LOVES to come to "visit the plants") step inside the walls. My daughter thinks fairies live at Solabee (and she might be right)! The ladies that work there are always super knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They help my daughter plant anything she purchases in a pot and are great about explaining what they are doing! And, as much as I'd like to say I have time to just roam about every day there, unfortunately- usually I don't. I DO frequently call them (in a rush) for a client gift, and give a description of what I need- I can always count on them to pick the PERFECT thing -and have it potted/ pretty for my client by the time I arrive to pick it up! Customer service on . Also, have you ever had a floral arrangement from here? SOO good - I send flowers to myself sometimes!

Officially declaring this one of the cutest plant and flower shops I've ever been in! I'm a sucker for interior spaces and details, and everything from the vintage-tile floor to the rustic, black-paned windows had me snapping Instagram-worthy pictures left and right (I know- I'm such a millennial right?). Lots of variety of plants, cacti, and succulents to choose from in all shapes and sizes. Looks like they offer floral design services as well- I definitely want to come back and purchase some goodies next time. There was also a shop-dog, a very friendly Corgi greeting at the front. Loved this place, can't wait to com back.

This space is just beautiful! Wish I can take all the plants home with me when I visit. I always make sure I take home a planter or some ceramic piece that I can curate with my own plants at home.

Solabee did the flowers for my wedding (bouquets, boutonnieres, and a flower crown) and they all turned out very beautiful! Working with Evelyn was a dream, I knew some basic colors that I wanted to have but really had no idea what exactly I wanted, which was not a problem because Evelyn was able to transform my few requests into one of the most gorgeous bouquets I have ever seen. I could not be happier with choosing Solabee and would highly recommend them for special events. The price point was reasonable and the service was impeccable. Side note: I also buy house plants at Solabee and have had a great experience with that as well. The shop is super cute and everyone has always been very friendly.

Solabee helped me re-pot my gigantic fan palm into two more appropriately-sized pots. I can re-pot smaller things, but I was so happy they offered the services to re-pot my bigger plant. They made drop-off and pick-up at their store easy. I'm going to share something nuanced they asked when I dropped my palm off that shows their level of expertise and care. When I dropped my plant off, they had a quick discussion about how to split the multiple bulbs in my palm from each other. I had not thought about it, and they recommended that they prioritize a healthy split over an even split. I'm glad they asked, because that's something I did not realize I wanted until they did. I will be returning to them for my houseplant needs.

The inside of this shop is really neat. They have a great variety of beautiful plants, planters/cachepots, and small decorative items. If you are looking for something a bit more rare, or had to find, this is your place. If you are looking for something a bit more reasonably priced, and generic (as a first, or beginner houseplant) I would head someplace else.

I received the most beautiful bouquet for my birthday from Solabee Flowers. It really brightened my day and truly was the most exquisite arrangement I'd ever gotten and I've celebrated a lot of birthdays! I highly recommend this shop. The people there are truly customer oriented and go above & beyond in service. Thank you Solabee for making my day!

This florist is amazing. Recently requested a neutral not pink/girly arrangement for my non-binary wife. They delivered the most beautiful arrangement with neutral colors and unique and unusual flowers. My wife was blown away, it was spectacular. Would definitely use again and was a great price for the size and quality - 5 days later and it's still looking fresh!
