Editorial Review for Podesta Baldocchi – by Ryan Sommer
In Short
The secret of innovative floral design has been kept alive for generations at this family-run establishment. Founded more than 100 years ago, Podesta Baldocchi once inhabited three different stores in San Francisco. Now operating out of SoMa's Harriet Street location, the family still turns out the same quality that landed their arrangements fame from an onscreen appearance in Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo."

I grew up in San Francisco, and one of my most vivid memories was of dressing up during Christmas time - wearing white gloves and hat - and going to Podesta Baldocchi, a small, sharp dash of holiday color and fragrance. It was San Francisco elegance. Although I've moved away, I order flowers to send to my mother for special occasions, and thanks to the fact that Podesta Baldocchi has maintained that elegance, the fresh bouquets always mean twice as much for both of us.

We needed a good bouquet for our pre-wedding photo shoot in a Sunday afternoon in SF area. And, I tell you, there are not many florists open on Sundays! After frantic search, I finally found Podesta, which is open half-day on Sundays. The flower designer whom I spoke with on the phone was very pleasant, and I placed an order of my bouquet, my fiance's boutonniere, and a couple of flowers for my hair. On the photo shoot day, it took us for a while to find out the store, because it's located at a sort of hidden place. But, when we got there, our bouquet, etc., were already there for pick up, even though we actually arrived there a little earlier than the pick-up time. The flowers were FANTASTIC!! Definitely much better than I imagined. That was a good surprise to start with, and having great flowers made huge difference in the high-resolution digital photographs. Thanks, Podesta!! I recommend your store to anyone who needs high-quality flowers in SF area. One last thing I wanted to mention is that most of the bouquet flowers stayed fresh in our vase for more than 2 weeks after the photo shoot (other bouquets usually start wilting around 3-4 days). This shows how fresh their flowers are.
Pros: Excellent bouquets. Open even on Sundays
Cons: none
