Somewhere in the Bay Area right now, someone is trying to send flowers to a person who works at a tech company, and they are staring at the delivery address field thinking: “Do I put… Google? Is that enough? Which Google? There are like nine buildings.”
We get it. Sending flowers to a tech campus in the Bay Area is not like sending flowers to a house. These are sprawling, multi-building, badge-access, security-desk, sometimes-the-employee-works-from-home-on-Tuesdays operations. And the bigger the company, the more complicated the delivery.
We deliver to tech campuses across the Bay Area every day. We know which ones are easy, which ones are tricky, and what information you need to include so your flowers actually reach the person and do not end up sitting in a security lobby until they wilt. Here is everything you need to know.
🔐 Why Tech Campus Delivery Is Different
A typical home delivery is straightforward: address, doorbell, done. A tech campus delivery involves layers:
- Security lobbies. Most large campuses have a front desk or security checkpoint where all deliveries are received. Our driver does not walk to someone’s desk — the delivery goes to the lobby, and building staff notify the recipient or route it internally.
- Multi-building complexes. A campus like Meta in Menlo Park or Google in Mountain View has dozens of buildings. “Google, Mountain View” is not a deliverable address. We need the building number.
- Badge-only access. Drivers cannot get past the lobby without an employee badge. This is universal at major campuses. The flowers will be left with reception or a designated delivery area.
- Hybrid schedules. This is the biggest post-2020 change. Many tech workers are only in the office 2–3 days a week. If you send flowers on a day your recipient is working from home, the flowers sit in a lobby all day. Confirm what day they will be in the office before you order.
🏙️ San Francisco Campuses
San Francisco offices are mostly high-rise buildings downtown and in SoMa, which makes delivery relatively straightforward — there is a lobby, a reception desk, and an elevator. Include the company name, building address, and floor number.
- Salesforce Tower / Salesforce campus (Mission Street) — the tallest building in San Francisco. Deliveries go through the lobby. Include the floor number — this is a 61-story building.
- Google SF (multiple locations in the city) — specify which office. The main SF locations are near the Embarcadero and in SoMa. Include the full street address, not just “Google SF.”
- Meta SF (various office spaces) — Meta has had shifting SF office footprints. Confirm the current address with the recipient.
- Uber HQ (Mission Bay) — large campus with a main lobby. Include the building address.
- Airbnb (Brannan Street area) — lobby delivery. Straightforward.
- X (formerly Twitter) (Mid-Market) — lobby delivery at the main building.
- Stripe (South of Market) — lobby delivery. Include the street address.
SF tip: Downtown high-rises are the easiest campus deliveries in the Bay Area. One building, one lobby, one reception desk. The complications start when you head south to the peninsula campuses.
🏢 Peninsula Campuses
The Peninsula — from South San Francisco down through Redwood City, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto — is where campuses start getting big and sprawling.
- Meta (Facebook) — Menlo Park. This is one of the largest tech campuses in the Bay Area, spanning multiple buildings on both sides of the Bayshore Freeway. Building number is essential. “Meta, Menlo Park” is not enough. Ask the recipient for their building number (e.g., Building 20, MPK21, etc.) and include it in the delivery address. Deliveries go to the building’s reception area.
- Oracle — Redwood City. The Oracle campus on Oracle Parkway is a cluster of towers around a central area. Include the building number and the recipient’s name. Lobby delivery.
- Electronic Arts (EA) — Redwood City. Campus on Redwood Shores Parkway. Include the building number. Reception handles deliveries.
- Box — Redwood City. Main office on Seaport Boulevard. Single building, lobby delivery. Relatively simple.
- Visa — Foster City. Corporate campus on Metro Center Boulevard. Include the building designation. Security desk receives deliveries.
- Gilead Sciences — Foster City. Large biotech campus. Building number required. Deliveries go through a central receiving area.
- Stanford University and Stanford Health — not tech, but a major Peninsula delivery destination. Stanford is its own zip code with dozens of buildings. Include the department name, building name or number, and the recipient’s full name. For Stanford Hospital, see our delivery notes about hospital flower delivery.
💻 South Bay Campuses
The South Bay — Cupertino, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose — is where the biggest campuses live and where delivery gets the most complex. We recently expanded our South Bay delivery coverage, and these campuses are the reason many people order.
- Apple Park — Cupertino. The big one. Apple Park (the “spaceship”) is one of the hardest campuses in the Bay Area to deliver to. Security is tight, the campus is enormous, and external deliveries go through a central receiving process. Include the full address, building number, and the recipient’s full name and team/department if you have it. Flowers may take longer to reach the recipient’s desk than at other campuses. Apple’s older Infinite Loop campus (also in Cupertino) has a simpler lobby setup.
- Googleplex — Mountain View. Google’s main campus sprawls across dozens of buildings along Amphitheatre Parkway and Charleston Road. Building number is absolutely required. “Google, Mountain View” will not get there. Ask the recipient: “What building are you in?” Deliveries go to building reception. Google also has significant office space in Sunnyvale — confirm the city, not just the company.
- LinkedIn — Sunnyvale. Multiple buildings on Stierlin Court. Include the building number. Lobby delivery.
- Netflix — Los Gatos. Main campus on Winchester Boulevard. Smaller and more contained than the mega-campuses. Lobby delivery. Include the building address.
- Nvidia HQ — Santa Clara. The striking new Voyager building and surrounding campus. Include the building name/number. Security desk receives deliveries.
- Adobe — San Jose. Three landmark towers downtown. Include the tower number (Tower 1, 2, or 3). Lobby delivery at each tower. Downtown San Jose location makes this one of the easier South Bay deliveries.
- PayPal / eBay — San Jose. North First Street area. Include the building address and recipient name. Lobby delivery.
- Samsung Semiconductor — San Jose. Multiple buildings on North First Street. Building number required.
- Western Digital / Broadcom / Intel — various Santa Clara and Milpitas locations. All require building numbers for multi-building campuses.
🌉 East Bay Campuses
The East Bay has fewer mega-campuses but still has significant employers:
- Kaiser Permanente — Oakland. National HQ on Broadway. Standard lobby delivery.
- Clorox — Oakland. HQ on Broadway. Lobby delivery.
- Biotech corridor — Emeryville. Multiple biotech companies (BioRad, Zymergen, Novartis research). Include the company name, full street address, and building number if applicable.
- UC Berkeley — similar to Stanford: include department, building, and recipient name. The campus is large and spread across hilly terrain.
- Lawrence Berkeley National Lab — restricted access. Deliveries may need to go through a security checkpoint. Call ahead or confirm with the recipient how deliveries are handled.
✅ The Delivery Information Checklist
For any tech campus delivery, include all of the following when you order:
- Recipient’s full name (first and last — reception uses this to notify them)
- Company name
- Full street address (not just the company name)
- Building number or name (critical for multi-building campuses)
- Floor number (for high-rise offices)
- Department or team name (helpful but not always required)
- Phone number for the recipient (so we or reception can text/call if there is a routing question)
- Delivery note: “Deliver to reception/front desk” (this is almost always correct for campuses)
The most important step: before you order, text the recipient’s friend, assistant, or coworker to confirm they will be in the office that day. Do not ask the recipient directly (that ruins the surprise). But a quick check with someone who knows their schedule avoids the #1 problem with tech campus flower delivery: flowers arriving on a work-from-home day.
💐 Best Flowers for Office Delivery
Not every arrangement works well at a desk. Here is what to consider:
- Keep it compact. Tech desks are shared, small, or surrounded by monitors. A massive arrangement that takes up half the desk is a problem, not a gift. A medium or small arrangement in a vase is ideal.
- Include a vase. Nobody has a vase at work. A loose bouquet wrapped in paper means the recipient has to find a container — which in an office usually means a coffee mug or a water bottle. We send our arrangements in vases for exactly this reason.
- Go easy on fragrance. Open floor plans are the norm at most tech campuses. Strongly fragrant flowers (stargazer lilies, gardenias, hyacinths) will perfume the entire floor and some coworkers will not appreciate it. Opt for roses, tulips, mixed seasonal blooms, or greenery-forward arrangements that look beautiful without overwhelming the room.
- Bright and cheerful beats dramatic. An office arrangement should make the person smile, not make their coworkers stare. Sunflowers, daisies, spray roses, and mixed colorful blooms are perfect. Save the three dozen long-stem red roses for home delivery.
💬 Card Messages for Office Delivery
Remember: at an office, other people will see the flowers. Keep the card appropriate for a public setting.
- For a birthday: “Happy birthday! Hope your day is as bright as these flowers. — [Name]”
- For a promotion: “You earned this. Congratulations! — [Name]”
- For a work anniversary: “[X] years and counting. Thank you for everything. — [Team/Name]”
- From a partner (keep it tasteful): “Just because. Thinking about you today. — [Name]”
- From a team: “From all of us — thank you for being you. — The [Team Name] crew”
