See’s Candies

See’s candy is the best ! In fact I’m having a piece as we speak ! See’s candy is one that has stood the test of time… since 1921!
They have lots of fresh prepackaged items, as well as pick your own into your own size box items.
Best of all, they always give you a sample for FREE! On them. Sometimes they give you more than 1. If the one they are promoting doesn’t suit you, just ask them for another option and they will gladly get you another.
Great gift items as well for any occasion.

I bought candy at another See’s Candies store. There were deliver problems, I called the store where I bought the candy and never got a called back. Carla and Manager Chrisy at the Fashion Valley store were so helpful outstanding service with resolving the issues. I love See’s Candy and have a new place to buy candy next time.

OMG! I love see’s candy! Because of health issued I stopped eating chocolate but today I needed to arrange a gift for someone who gave me a ride a few days ago and I decided to buy chocolates.
I went for the $ 10 box which contains 12 pieces. I looove the lemon dark chocolate but all of them are good. The lady was a bit slow but thanks god people in line did not get mad.
Nothing bad to say, will keep coming every time I am looking for a nice, affordable and sweet present.

I went to the Mission Valley Mall to do some shopping and had to stop in at See’s. I was greeted by a smiling sales person named Nohemi who immediately offered me a sample of my choice. She asked what type of chocolate I liked and whether I could eat a chocolate with nuts or not. I told her I wasn’t allergic to nuts and she recommended a few that were to my liking. The chocolate was delicious and the customer service was awesome! They definitely made me feel warm and welcome. Nice to know there are still people like Nohemi who care about customer service in a time where it often is lacking.

I love See’s Candies! I have a couple favorite picks, this time I order the beverly and the mayfair!!! I mean how can you go wrong, it’s chocolate, its a california product and
it’s right in front of my face, how could I ever resist? Well, I guess I didn’t!

I was out with friends and we had a goal to buy see’s candies as a present and coming in we were greeted nicely by one of the staff. However, the «acting managers» was rude and just angry looking, not a single smile towards us. She scolded that staff member within earshot for being too friendly by offering both of the special of that day to us and free sample (that staff member was the kind of person that makes you feel welcomed and want to come back to the store.) The acting manager also described my friends and me, «these people» in a way that we were not worth the time. How do I know she was talking about us? Well, we were the only ones inside.
The way she handled the situation was improper and unprofessional. This should never happen in a business like See’s Candies.

I never write reviews but today bad customer service made me!
First of all, it is Mothers day weekend and I know it is busy.
I avoided customizing my chocolate choice and picked a ready box and head to the register. The woman in front of me did the same and the lady who helped her put a nice ribbon on her ready packed box of chocolates. Now it was my turn and the nice lady at the register left and a guy took over. I asked him for a ribbon too and he points me to the line of 20 ppl and tells me I should go and stand there, those ppl were waiting to customize their boxes. I asked him kindly if he could maybe give me a piece of ribbon and I would do it myself, he makes an annoyed noise and he gives me a gold elastic… in the meantime my husband with our crying baby appears and he did not even acknowledge the reason why I maybe was not standing in line for a customized box and instead opted for the ready packed, at the same price! He just rings my chocolates up and gives me his obligatory speech about chocolate promotions, not even noticing me. Some other people commented on him. I love the chocolates, the women are nice but this guy… not good for business. I will go back to the UTC location next time.

Like the other Unilocaler’s I am a big fan of See’s.
Unlike many other brands, See’s has retained exactly the same in terms of product packaging. The stores, the people and the boxes look the same way as they did when I was little. The treats are delicious and the samples are a plus.
This store doesn’t ever get too busy which is surprising. Stop here and pick up a couple of pieces as a treat!

I saw a sign outside that they were having a 50% off selected seasonal candies, so I came in to see if I could fine some milk and dark solid chocolates. I was greeted by a very nice elder woman and she offered me a free sample of something I can’t remember, but I turned it down.
I picked up a few of my favorite See’s Lollypops, specifically the chocolate and the café latte. (
) Also, I was able to get a one pound bag of solid milk chocolate balls wrapped in a pumpkin wrapping for 50% off. I scored on those, because who cares that Halloween was over, what matters was the creamy milk chocolate inside. (
)
I picked up some solid dark chocolates at regular price (
) and I wanted to try these Pumpkin Spiced Lollypops, but I had enough already for one person, so decided they were for next time. (
)
The elder lady who was running the store was peppy for her age. She definitely knew a lot about chocolate.

I love getting the free candy

Oh See’s! I’m addicted to your candy…
This store is on the way to the movie theaters and my sweet tooth kicked in. I grabbed several candy bars ($ 1.50) to take in with me for the movie. I think the lady who worked behind the counter was the only one working and she looked overwhelmed with all the guests that came in. What a rush!!!
What I thought would be a 2 mins visit turned out to be 10 mins since the person in front on me had a big order.
Sweet as can be, the lady offered me a sample, which made me feel better. I was disappointed that the candy bars are smaller and now more expensive. I think the last time I bought a candy bar was when they were only $ 1!

Who isn’t a fan of Sees Candies is what I would really like to know? How could you not fall absolutely, head over heels in love with their creamy, rich, and indulgent confectionaries?
This Sees Candies in particular has an amazing staff! The woman who helped me last time I went was simply the sweetest woman ever! She let my friend sample chocolates while she waited for me to put a box together and answered all our question about which chocolates we should try and what was in each chocolate! She was very personable and helpful and patient. Sees Candies is like the godfather of chocolates, even if you are against them you are with them. I mean who can honestly say they have never enjoyed at least one flavor or one bite of peanut brittle? A liar, that’s who!
The reason for four stars instead of five is because I wish they would branch out and start making some new flavors! Other than that this is a brilliant place to go and get a gift or even a treat just for yourself!

This See’s is located in the Mission Valley Mall. I came here to pick up a custom box of chocolates to give as a Christmas Gift. It was 5 days before Christmas and store was well staffed. I didn’t have to wait to long to get a See’s associate to help me put together my box. Patty C. helped me and she was detailed and efficient. I told Patty that I wanted a 2lb box of all nuts with milk, dark, and white varieties. She inquired if I wanted actual nut and if peanut butter was okay. I loved that she put thought into my box and also made sure to customized it to my exact specification. The chocolate recipient doesn’t like peanut butter, but likes peanuts, so I’m glad she asked! She also gift wrapped it nicely and put a gold bow on it (as shown:
)!
I like the Mission Valley location because it’s more accessible and less crowded than Fashion Valley.
I also got to sample a dark and a milk chocolate piece (my favorite part about the trip to See’s). I prefer See’s over Godiva because See’s has the perfect amount of indulgence. I find Godiva to be too sweet and too buttery and the nuts are too small, since I like a good crunch. My favorite chocolate is the Victoria toffee. The taste is way better than Almond Roca, as the ingredients are probably of a higher quality.
Pros
–decently price
–free samples
–detailed and efficient service
–multiple registers, so you’re in and out
–knowledgeable staff
–large selection
Cons
–outdated uniforms
–ran out of a few items (they should be better stocked for the holidays)

This location is wonderful. The woman working realized that we were from out of town and gave us a mini tasting of just about anything we wanted. She also explained the ingredients of most and told us a little history of See’s. She was awesome!
My ultimate favorite of the day was the apple pie truffle. I could just die thinking about it. Also, almost any of the dark chocolate pieces were just as good. I walked out of there with a fully satisfied sweet tooth and lots of treats to go. I’d hoped they would make it back to GA, but I finished them all before even getting to the airport.

This place is great, but the customers are shitty. I was in line behind two ladies, one who asked if they were hiring, and both just got their samples and left. In fact, that’s what most customers do, they get their sample and leave. Even worse, sometimes they act like total assholes because they feel entitled to their free sample, ranting on about how they were going to buy over $ 100 in candy just before they storm out, their lips smacking together as they chew their free sample.
The employees, comparatively, are saints. Connie helped me as I picked out candy for a box, and she was the sweetest, most patient employee I’ve ever met. The customers behind me were muttering about how they had not been giving their free samples yet because I, an actual paying customer, was taking too long. Connie deserves a medal for her customer service, repeatedly telling them she would be right with them. I wouldn’t last a day at this job, because the moment some customer got ornery, I would offer them a STFU truffle or our newest flavor: EMS pie. The only free sample they would be getting is a bite of chocolate covered pain.
Seriously though, thank you Connie. You gave me some great customer service and helped bring happiness to my honey and me. I wish more people appreciated everything you gave them, but I hope that my thanks helps bring you some happiness. I swear that I will never be one of those asshole sample-​leechers who doesn’t even bother to say «thanks!»

Some of the best customer service I’d ever experienced from a specialty retailer! Came in on Halloween to pick up a box of their lollipops and the female employee was one of the nicest folks around (reminded me of my mom)! Told me about an upcoming flavored truffle which See’s would be debuting soon, offered a dark chocolate Health bar truffle sample, and sent me on my way with what I came for. :) Kudos to See’s Mission Valley!

Yay! I have, after many years, finally become a chocolate fan. (I now also like salmon– go figure.) Sees has that wholesome 1950s feel to it. Maybe it’s because it’s located next to Ruby’s diner, or the black and white hospital clean sterile like feeling inside. Scratch that. It’s the little old ladies rocking the white uniforms. Upon entering the store, you are immediately greeted with a warm hello and given a chocolately treat. It’s like going to Grandmas all over again, except no kisses. Then again, I never asked the See’s ladies for a kiss — maybe next time I’m there.

BEST CHOCOLATES EVER. I am a chocolate girl. I’ve had world renown Jacques Torres Chocolate, anywhere that has truffles, I get one… and See’s Candies is still my absolute favorite chocolates of ALL time. Its one of my main reasons I want to move back to San Diego (sad, but true :)
You get free samples just for coming in, or asking for one! The service is always sweet, sometimes the line can be long but they move fast and it’s such a happy place you cant be mad.
These truffles are the best :
Raspberry Truffle
Apple Pie
Key Lime
Apricot Delight
Almond
Blueberry
California Crunch
Peanut Butter Patty
and PUMPKIN PIE!
and the price can’t be beat… you can afford to get a lot of them!!! :)

3.5 STARS.
The source of energy prior to my work out next door at 24 hour fitness!
I lie to myself and like to think its harmless.
I like See’s. My favorite: Pecan roll, Butterscotch kisses.
Always get a free sample. I have to admit, I once witnessed a grouchy lady snap at a customer. I go here often and that was the first time… guess we all have our bad days.
Good thing she didn’t snap at ME, had she snapped at me the sun would disappear and the store would be hit by lightening during a fire storm in which two headed horses would fly down from the sky, you know: All hell would break lose.

Stopped by this See’s location last Friday. Right before dinner, go figure.
There’s a large selection of, among other things, individual piece chocolates here. While my boyfriend and I were debating our choices we were each given a full-​sized free sample right away and with a smile. Very cool! After a few minutes of contemplation, we picked up a small chunk of «Vanilla Nut Fudge,» a piece of «Lemon Truffle,» and a peanut butter and milk chocolate patty (forget the formal name). All were exceptionally wonderful, as was the service that handed these little edible treasures over the counter to me.
Being unfamiliar with See’s pricing, I was pleasantly surprised when the total rang up to under $ 3. Quite reasonable.
Such delicious stuff. I really love this store!
