Edible Arrangements Review: Dessert Delivery

Edible Arrangements has been delivering fruit-inspired treats since 1999. While the company initially became famous for its iconic fruit bouquets and chocolate-dipped strawberries, it has expanded its offerings to include a range of nearly 100 desserts. From cheesecakes to cupcakes, brownies to cookies, there's something sweet for every occasion. With over 1,000 locations worldwide, Edible Arrangements provides same-day delivery in many areas, making it a convenient choice if you've got any last-minute dessert needs.

How fast do you want your desserts delivered?

First off, you'll want to have an idea of just how quickly you need your treats delivered: as you browse the "Edible Bakeshop" here, you'll be able to see which ones are offered with 1-hour delivery (or the very small handful that are designated as "in-store pickup only"). If you want to really cut to the chase, use the filters to indicate the desired delivery speed; you can also set your preferred price range and/or identify the occasion you're trying to "sweeten up".

Cute desserts for under $30

Let's just say that you could go simple and budget-friendly at Edible Arrangements, or you could go all out with a really big "I love you". In the under $30 department, you'll see a couple of cookie boxes (chocolate chip, confetti, or assorted/create your own): simple and sweet. Our personal favorite in the more affordable range is the Mini Happy Birthday Dessert & Balloon Party Kit: a single-serve dessert with a cancel, mini bouquet, and balloon are a super-cute way to make the birthday girl or guy feel special.

Create a whole spread

On the other end of the spectrum at Edible Arrangements, we found some impressive ways to play host or hostess. Just check out the "INCREDIBLE Dessert Board" ($199.99) and you'll see what we mean: it's a beautiful assortment of fresh fruit, chocolate dipped fruit, cookies and more. We also really liked the Delicious Donuts and Fresh Fruit Board with Non-Alcoholic Wine; with a bouquet of flowers included, we could easily picture this as a perfect way to celebrate a new mom.

Go big for over $200

And, if you're really looking to "wow" someone (or you owe them a big apology), Edible Arrangements' most high-end dessert option is the Edible Elegance Bundle with Cheesecake. It's got a bouquet of flowers, six mini-cheesecakes topped with chocolate-covered strawberries, and a "bouquet" of strawberries that give the same impression as the flower arrangement. Make sure there's room on your credit card, though, because the starting price for the smaller option is $211.98.

Affordable and flexible delivery options

Edible Arrangements shines with its delivery flexibility. Same-day service for $9.99 is one of the most affordable in the industry, and next-day or later delivery is free. Impressively, this includes weekends - a rarity among dessert delivery services. For those near a physical location, free in-store pick-up of online orders is also an option.

Extras galore

The customization options at Edible Arrangements are noteworthy. During checkout, you can add premium extras like cookies, chocolates, teddy bears, or upgraded flowers. Their gifting tools, like a complimentary personalized message or an upgraded greeting card for $5.99, help make your delivery feel special.

A mixed reputation

Unfortunately, Edible Arrangements' reputation leaves something to be desired. The company holds an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau due to unresolved complaints, and it's got similarly low average scores on platforms like Trustpilot (1.5 stars) and Yelp (2.6 stars). That said, customer experiences largely depend on the specific location fulfilling the order. Some individual stores perform much better than the company's average, so it's worth checking reviews for your local Edible Arrangements.

A convenient -but unpredictable - choice

Edible Arrangements earns a middle-of-the-road rating for its dessert selection. The sheer variety and same-day delivery options are strong points, but the inconsistent quality and service from one location to another is hard to overlook. If you're in a pinch and need a fancy treat delivered fast, this could be a good option - just be sure to research the store handling your order to avoid any surprises.
