With its antiques, book-lined shelves, and exposed-brick walls, Petals and Pop has been compared to a Victorian painting and Sherlock Holmes’s library—and nothing could delight owner Theresa Anderson more. “It doesn’t feel like a flower shop, because it kinda isn’t,” she says. “It’s a working studio.” The floral arrangements Anderson designs feature unexpected accents—things like chocolate basil, garden roses, and seasonal fruits—and would be at home in a botanical drawing from the 1800s. But the shop’s charm isn’t all based in the 19th century: The “pop” in the store’s name originally referred to the Champagne Anderson serves her wedding clients during consultations. It’s expanded to include the old-school and artisanal sodas, like Bubble Up and Boylan Root Beer, that she now sells in the shop.
