Gold Coast Flowers

Gold Coast Flowers is a Chicago florist selling handcrafted bouquets, rose arrangements and flower boxes online, with a catalog that includes heart-shaped rose boxes, hydrangea bouquets and large orders of long stem roses. Bestsellers run from under $80 to around $155, and larger rose orders go up to 100 stems.

Same-day delivery is the main draw. Orders placed before 5 PM are delivered the same day to a list of Chicago ZIP codes covering downtown and neighborhoods such as River North, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park and West Loop. Deliveries go to homes, offices, hotels, hospitals and event venues, though exact delivery times cannot be guaranteed. The shop takes calls and texts between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily, and the team can be reached by email.
