San Diego's Favorite Florist

Allen's Flowers has been San Diego's family-owned florist since 1980 — over 45 years of hand-designed arrangements and hand-delivered service. Founded by Max and Marilyn Levy from a flower stand in El Cajon, today Allen's is led by their son Brad Levy alongside Sam Bowles, who joined as General Manager in 2016 after building a national reputation as an industry expert in five-star customer experiences.

We operate six retail locations across San Diego County — Downtown San Diego, Hillcrest, La Mesa, El Cajon, Chula Vista, and Escondido — plus our design and operations studio in Linda Vista. We're proud to source as much of our product as possible from other San Diego and California growers, and to send every arrangement out the door designed in-house and hand-delivered by Allen's drivers — never shipped in a box, never routed through a 1-800 call center.

Voted San Diego's "Best Florist" thirteen times by readers of the San Diego Union-Tribune. Recognized as one of the top 100 florists in the United States. Trusted floral partner to the San Diego Convention Center and to many of the region's most respected hotels, caterers, and event venues.
