Central Square's Flower Shop for Every Occasion
Who Runs It
Central Square Florist has been a neighborhood staple for decades, earning a reputation for quality arrangements, reliable delivery, and genuine care for every order.

For weddings, funerals, celebrations, apologies, and "just because," Central Square Florist is where Cambridge goes when flowers matter.
