Granara’s Flowers is a family-owned and operated San Carlos florist, and one of the longest-running names on the Peninsula. By their own account they have been a florist since 1945 and have been delivering flowers for more than 80 years. In a part of the Bay Area where businesses come and go, that is a long time, and if you have lived in San Carlos or Redwood City for a while there is a good chance you have received one of their arrangements.
🌷 What They Offer
Going by their website, Granara’s covers most of what people look to a florist for:
- Everyday occasions — birthday, anniversary, congratulations, love and romance, thank you, get well, and new baby arrangements.
- Sympathy and funeral flowers — wreaths, hearts and crosses, sprays and baskets, flowers for the service, flowers for the casket, and flowers for the home.
- Plants — blooming plants, green plants, and orchids and tropical plants.
- Subscriptions and designer’s choice — flowers on a schedule, or an arrangement left to the designer.
- Consultations — a way to request a conversation about larger or more personal orders.
They describe their designs as ranging from simple to elaborate, and say that most customers come back for the quality of the work and the relationship they build with the shop.
🚚 Where They Deliver
Their delivery area runs across the middle of the Peninsula, including San Carlos, Redwood City, Belmont, Menlo Park, Atherton, Hillsborough, Foster City, Emerald Hills, and Redwood Shores. They also list delivery to local hospitals, schools, chapels, and funeral homes, which is where a lot of sympathy and get-well orders end up.
🔍 Worth Knowing Before You Order
This part comes from their website as it reads today, so check it yourself before you rely on it. Their published business hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and the shop is listed as closed on Saturday and Sunday. The site also states that they do not have a storefront and asks customers to call ahead, even though it mentions pickup and lists a street address. If that sounds confusing, you are not imagining it, and it is worth sorting out before you plan a pickup.
None of that is a mark against the flowers. It simply means that a late-afternoon order, a Saturday or Sunday need, or a last-minute surprise may be harder to place than you would like. That is exactly when a backup is handy.
