Learn About The Shop
We first established Ampersand in an unused adorable barn we painted teal in the Mission district of San Francisco back in 2014. Since then, we’ve had an epic glow-up, now located in the Castro-Duboce district in fantastic digs.
The shop is a space for creativity, community, and everything floral. We do our best to source as many locally grown materials as possible, every design is custom made with care, with a curated selection of goods you will love.
Ampersand is a hub for seekers of beautiful spaces, thoughtfully curated things, all the blooms, and good vibes. We are happy to design bouquets on the spot, discuss the current offerings— folks are also encouraged to get their hands dirty and choose blooms per stem at an affordable price point.
We also carry a lovely assortment of indoor plants in various sizes as well as home goodies such as candles, incense, home goods, thoughtful gifts, and more. We source beautiful totems to cherish for your home and space for yourself or as gifts for loved ones.
We have our hands and shears prepped for everything imaginable: from wrapped bouquets, vase arrangements, deliveries in San Francisco, walk-ins, event design work, weekly deliveries for cafes, restaurants, homes and more.
As a queer-owned business, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, inclusive, space for all.
