See’s Candies

For some reasons, both store clerks were at the back when I walked into the store today. It was not crowded, probably three customers in the store — two ladies and myself. One of them was barefooted with a head scarf but kind of somewhat dirty dressed. My first thought was that she must be a homeless person and she was going to steal a box of chocolates on display.
When one of the clerks came out of the back, the clerk walked to the barefooted lady first and offered her a cup of chocolate, rather than asking her to leave. After getting the free sample, the barefooted lady pretended to look around the store a little more and left.
The clerk’s welcoming gesture to the barefooted lady without pretension was admirable. And it gave me some thoughts to the friendly tradition of Mary See, started in the early 20^th Century.
(Disclaimer: I have an interest in the See’s parent company, Berkshire Hathaway.)

Nothing beats See’s for chocolate. My family has enjoyed these from as early as 1960s when my grandmother worked for the Weissman family in Beverly Hills, CA. Love this

The See’s Candy store experience is all part of the fun of buying See’s candy and this location is the best. Other locations are at these huge shopping malls so its a big ordeal just to get to the store and then they are always busy. This location is never busy unless its a holiday. The staff is very kind and helpful. The candy is delicious as always!

This was my favorite chocolate store but my son school did a fundraiser I help him sell. We did the highest sell. But when the orders came there’s was an order missing so I call which I spoke with the manager then the manager from this store call me and said she was waiting on the cooperate office to call her giver the ok to give me my order. That was a week ago in till this day um still waiting on her response. Bad service I would never order anything. I end up buying the order myself so my people were happy.

This place is awesome as ever. Giving me a nice piece of chocolate right now is Giannina. Thank you!

Went into this location twice recently. Both times I was greeted by their friendly and helpful staff. Each time offered a sample of the wonderful candy they sell. What I love about this shop is the «Sweet Savers» discount. As a teacher, it comes in handy! The staff was great! This had been my usual for years and will continue to be after the great service recently!

Busy store every time I visit. My school does See’s fundraisers and this is where we pick up our orders. It is a discount store so they have lower prices than you stores at the malls. Always get a free sample and the staff are all friendly.

Service I had a receipt yet I was questioned, it was such a process purchased an 8 pack
I opened the wrapper of one lollipop the paper stuck to it, it was obviously not good probably heat damage one woman sees a receipt she says I have to talk to somebody in the back she goes in the back the person the back want to know if any of them were used I said naturally that’s how I knew they were bad
They couldn’t figure out if I should get all my money back or money back for seven lollipops then I had to fill out this long form with all my personal information for a six dollar item I could returned a $ 2500 TV at Cosco and wouldn’t had such a hard time !!

just the facts: got to the store just as it open 10:00am 10÷14÷15. I bought candy to be sent to friend in Joplin Mo, I was told it was two day shipping, and shipping was $ 15.95. I said wow that is a lot of money for shipping I thought it was $ 5.00, ««no» I was told summer shipping is $ 15.95. paid and left the store. 10÷17÷15 Saturday. My friend the candy was ship to had still not got the candy.
Tried to call See’s candy corporate office not open on the weekends, tried to call the store where I bought the candy and after several tries got a sales person. who told me she would check corporate office to see where the candy. I asked about being over charged for shipping and was told she was sorry.
two day shipping «no» you can’t count on that from See’s and don’t be over charged for shipping like I was. Had I been told (easy to have told me) that if I had bought $ 35.00 worth of candy the shipping would have been $ 5.00. I bought $ 23.00 and paid $ 15.95 for shipping. I guess they make more money on handling and shipping than selling their candy.
Oh and no one ever called me back. so who knows if the candy was ever shipped or my friend will eve get the candy. I would very much like See’s Candy to contact me, and would be happy to add to my review an update if something gets done.

I love See’s Candies!
I’ve been to locations all over San Diego, but this particular store is my favorite. The ladies that work here are generally nice, this store is larger than the ones at the mall, the prices are slightly lower, AND I’m able to get my chocolate quickly and be on my merry way.
I had to subtract one star because this store is only open until 6pm daily… so be forewarned, no chocolate after 6pm here! But also, this shopping center is ghetto so it’s probably a safety thing that they close so early.

I love that they give you a sample, their chocolates are the best. I always buy the Lolly pops, they are my faves!

we were told to wait because socializing with regulars who are not making purchases is way more important than assisting customers who are willing to buy something. not even a hi we will be right with you. nothing never have we been so blatenly ignored by a staff member and when we asked for some help the girl at the register seemed annoyed that we interuppted her 10 min long converstation. how rude can we be right!!! nonetheless we weren’t offered any samples Sad face. good customer service is definitly lost at this location.

Special thanks to Felicia for helping me pick out a birthday gift for my sister in law. She was very helpful. This is one of the few See’s candies stores not located in a shopping mall. It is just a stones throw away from Old Town so if your in the area stop by. Much less crowded and a much easier shopping experience. Plenty of items to choose from. I chose one of their traditional 2 pound chocolate boxes already wrapped in a nice box. Cost including tax was $ 45.10 although I think their is a $ 5 coupon off available somewhere (maybe online go figure LOL). Overall very happy with my shopping experience with See’s Candies and a special thanks to Felicia.

I had seen several standalone See’s Candies stores in my lifetime – ones that are in shopping plazas, but not in malls – but I never had the chance to check one out. Until my mom and I were in the Point Loma area and decided to stop into this huge-​looking See’s store. I always wondered what it would be like to go into one of these standalone stores … all of the See’s Candies stores I usually see are within shopping complexes, but this is one of the few I’ve seen in its own entity.
The store itself was rather large, but it was pleasantly uncrowded. There were maybe four other customers in there besides us, and we were given samples when we stepped up to the counter to order. We perused the St. Patty’s Day seasonal candies, as well as the traditional assortment, but we just decided to order one chocolate apiece since it was almost dinner time.
I liked how spacious the store was; it didn’t feel claustrophobic at all (unlike some of the other See’s locations I’ve been to before), and I also didn’t feel rushed to get in/​out of the store. Plus, it wasn’t even crowded! Some of the more popular stores in shopping malls (like the Pearlridge See’s that I usually go to in Hawaii) are so crowded that you hardly receive individual attention unless you’re ordering, and sometimes they neglect you and don’t even give out samples. I just hope this Point Loma See’s gets enough traffic/​customers to continue operating as a standalone store.
Here’s what my mom and I got during this See’s trip, as well as other candies I would order in the future:
«Marzipan»: One of our aunts used to make this treat annually before she passed away, and my mom likes this candy because it reminds her of my aunt. It features a medley of almond paste with honey and powdered sugar covered in rich dark chocolate. Though this isn’t her favorite candy from See’s – like me, she favors the «Milk Bordeaux” – she does enjoy this «Marzipan» treat whenever she does order it.
«Milk Bordeaux»: I went with my tried-​and-​true See’s favorite during this candy trip. This decadent delight features a creamy brown sugar soft center covered with luscious, velvety milk chocolate and is decorated with chocolate sprinkles. I love the «Milk Bordeaux» because of its unique interior and creamy, smooth chocolaty exterior. Although nothing’s wrong with the dark chocolate version of this candy, I was craving the richer milk chocolaty flavor on this day so I decided on that option.
«Peanut Butter Egg»: I’m sure to love this larger-​than-​life peanut butter treat because it’s similar to a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. It features a creamy peanut butter center that’s coated with milk chocolate … just like the «Peanut Butter Pattie» but bigger and decorated with a cute candy flower for Easter.
«Chocolate Butter Egg with Pecans»: I actually haven’t seen this huge candy in the See’s store but it looks super yummy from the website. It features nearly one pound of sweet deliciousness! It basically embodies a large chocolate egg that’s filled with decadent chocolate buttercream and a pecan center, and it’s finished with a decorated candy bouquet. I would totally get one of these for myself one day … and enjoy it in sections.
«Bordeaux Egg»: Because the milk/​dark chocolate Bordeaux is my favorite treat, I would surely love it in its Easter get-​up as well. It features the chocolatier’s signature brown sugar buttercream that’s coated in milk chocolate and showered with chocolate confetti sprinkles. Must. Try. One. Day.
«Chocolate Butter Egg»: If I wanted a more traditional Easter chocolate treat, this is the one I would go for. It features a sweet chocolate soft center that’s covered in See’s milk chocolate and decorated with a candy flower. Traditional yet still very delicious.

I decided to pick up a Valentine gift today and this place was great. The staff was kind, attentive and just sweet. Really great service from the two girls on staff. Thank you!

I don’t think there is a piece of candy that Mrs. See’s makes that I would turn my nose up at. This is the best chocolate I know. Stopped by to see Mrs. Sees after a great birthday lunch with my grand daughter to pick up some suckers for little brother since he didn’t get to come with us. We also purchased a number of our favorite candies which we took to near by Old Town park to enjoy. I am quite thankful that Mrs. Sees has found a way into a couple of the malls in the Dallas area because I really missed her.

Who the hell doesn’t like chocolate?!? This place is bigger then the see’s in the hood. The people there are super sweet and if you work for a big corporation chances are, you get the sweet savings discount!
It’s a good little savings too. If you need presents, chocolate is always a good idea. If they don’t Luke chocolate you can always keep it and eat it yourself ;-)
The savings are posted along with the regular prices so you’re never left wondering what the discount is. Some of the items are regular priced as well. Bigger selection than all the other stores I have gone to.
If you go don’t forget to take your work badge and get me a box of nuts and chews. One pounder is 13.50 with the sweet savings discount ;-)

Any See’s dark chocolate candy with nuts or caramel is gold to me. I like to start at one end of the candy counter, and slowly walk along, reading the labels, weighing the pros and cons of purchasing that particular item for others, knowing full well that I’d also be purchasing some for myself.
This location has a ton of the pre-​packaged boxes of chocolates, which makes for a quick and easy shopping experience. That’s great for those times when you know you want to buy *something* from See’s, but don’t have the time or energy to put into actually choosing on your own.
For myself, though, I like to take my time choosing items by-​one-​by-​one. The girls who work there are always friendly and willing to help you pick out the chocolate piece (s) that’s exactly what you’re looking for. They answer the questions you may have («What, exactly, is inside that one?») and will put together a box of the selected yummies for you.
Plus…you can get samples, too! :D Just don’t be greedy about it! I was there once when this lady — I swear — she asked for «a bite» of every single item in the display case. I was embarrassed for her (and slightly annoyed that I didn’t have the balls to try something like that myself.)

I love this place! Apple pie truffle and key lime truffle are the bomb dot com! I was a total heifer last week and went twice in one week. Who does that?
I wanted to get «Thank You» chocolate boxes for my bosses who promoted me. While I was browsing, the worker there asked if I wanted a sample. I said, «Oh hell yeah!»
The candies I usually buy:
Apple pie & key lime truffle
Box of dark chocolate chews
Marzipan
I think See’s has good quality candy at a decent price. It’s not bank breaking like Godiva and I always get smiles when I give them as presents. I love this store and the super nice employees that work here.

I’ve never been much for milk chocolate so if I do come back it’s cause I’m either in the doghouse or a smitten kitten. They sell the impress your sweetie stuff so if you’re looking for Charleston Chews or candy cigs search elsewhere. (Although they do have solid choc cigars)
Great for gifts, but not if you’re on a Hershey’s kiss budget. If you need something a little nicer to say «I’m sorry» or «I heart you» this is a good thought.
