See’s Candies

Great customer service! My favorite Seed’s Candies store by far. Love the samples :-)

Fantastic offerings every holiday, but I love the Easter candy the best. Since I was a little girl it’s been a tradition to make up a big Easter basket for the whole family with See’s chocolate Bunnies, large chocolate eggs, Easter specialty boxes, jelly beans, and pretty little foil wrapped milk chocolate eggs. They don’t last long around my house!

While the UTC See’s Candies is closer to my house, I absolutely adore this charming walk-​up shop in Clairemont. The attendants are always friendly and welcoming, there’s usually not too much of a line and it’s a sample bonanza.
See’s are my favorite treat, and I’m grateful for this welcoming and friendly location.

The chocolate is expensive but totally worth every penny. I’m obsessed with the butterscotch chocolate it tastes like brown sugar. It melts in your mouth and puts a huge cool aid smile on my face. It’s heaven on earth. I like the vanilla suckers too. This location is probably the slowest. For some reason they only ever have one employee who is really sweet but when I’m on my lunch break in a rush all that sweetness is annoying. I don’t care how many chocolates you offer me as a courtesy because you know your taking forever I want you to put some pep in your step so I’m not late going back to work. I already know what I want going in there so a 10 min quick trip always seems to take 30 mins or more.

Very good customer service and they knew exactly what I wanted! I love their nuts and chews candy assortment!

My first time coming to this location and I live like down the street I usually just stop by when I’m at the mall.
One of my friends gave me a sees candies gift certificate for Christmas for 1 pound of candy or anything for the same value.
I came in and customized my own box and with all of my favorite chocolates (toffeette, california brittle & almond bud) yummm Linda was super helpful, nice and sweet. Thank you so much for being patient with me. She even let me sample some.
Il make sure to come here the next holiday to get my friends and family boxes of chocolate. :-)

They closed early on ½/​16. Their website say they are open to till 8pm. Disappointed.

This is a classic Sees candy location. They say that it’s #2 on the west coast. Classic décor and a staff with food old fashioned customer service makes this my favorite Sees.

Love sees candies and all the ladies here were so helpful! They assisted us immediately and they gift wrapped the chocolates for free. Great attitudes and great treats!

Loooove the toffee-​ettes. This the the main reason I keep coming back for more! I also like the free samples, but I tend to ask to sample the toffee-​ette.

You gotta love See’s! It’s been a family favorite since I was a kid so it’s great to see the company still around and prospering.
I like the Nuts & Chews the best but sometimes the Soft Centers do the job. I’m not a big sugar eater these days but when I do always save up for something like Sees’s! You can’t go wrong.
Oh yeah! The free samples are always a nice treat!

I love See’s Candies! The ladies that work at this location are always so sweet. It is nice to not have to go to a mall for some of their chocolatey goodness — yay!

Love this location. You don’t have to go to the mall, instead this location stands on its own and is easily accessible with a parking lot. The staff Cheri, Shelly, Norma… are so amazing. They are SWEET as can be, and if you become a regular, you really get to know them because they have worked here for years. You fall in love with the candy tasting, picking your custom candy box… the whole experience along with wonderful customer service and free candy samples. There can be a wait at times for purchasing but that comes along with the experience! :) They also offer gift cards, and pre-​made packages and assortments for simple purchase.
My favorite is the polar bear claw, peanuts covered in caramel and dipped in white chocolate.

I’m a regular at this store because it’s the closest (10 miles) to my house. I usually buy the same thing with my gift certificate (purchased at Costco) but lately I’m shocked at See’s for trying to nickel and dime making me pay cash in addition to using the GC. I buy the GC in order not to be scrounging my pockets for change. On Jan 13 was the first time that happened in the years that I’ve been here and today (for the same exact purchase) they wanted 40c more cash.
I’m saddened by the way See’s is doing business now and I’m afraid to go back to this particular store where the price changes every week! I called Jesus in the Chula Vista store to find out how they’re charging (just to compare, not that I live close to CV) and he said they are not charging 40c extra, I also noticed that their assembly in the past few months has gotten cheaper, the candy stays stuck on the paper and the thinner wrap tears apart easier instead of in one piece because See’s is using cheaper material and charging more. I’m done with See’s after I use my last GC.
Are these being made in China now? As for getting extra pieces of candy that’s not happening unless the older ladies like you, they’ve never offered me extras.

This is my first time visiting See’s Candies, as well as trying candy from See’s. I don’t know if all the other See’s stores are like this one, but wow, I cannot say enough good things about them! There were 3 ladies working on the night I went. The store was brightly lit, organized, and clean. I ended up hand picking a variety of chocolates to send to my family back in VA. Initially, I thought there would be an extra charge to do that instead of just grabbing a box that was premade, but there isn’t! Even better, the ladies are really generous with samples. In the 30 minutes I was there with the bf, they gave us 6 samples. The chocolate itself is really tasty and good quality. The price is great too — for 1 lb of chocolate, prices start at $ 17.50. I’ll be back for more!

Sees is so sweet! The ladies who work here are so cute and friendly. The one who helped me called me «kiddo» which, as I’ve lately been experiencing what I’m calling a ‘midlife existential awareness,’ made me feel young and carefree. Bought a couple of boxes of chocs to take to my friend who was hosting me n the hubs for Thanksgiving. Enjoyed my free piece of chocolate covered caramel while I browsed. Thanks, Sees!

I’ve always loved See’s Candies my whole life and it was my first time at this particular location. I came here with my mom one day after school to get her a gift for her birthday. Immediately when we walked in we were greeted by a sweet lady who gave us each a free sample of chocolate and suggested various candies to us. My mom settled on the chocolate covered almonds. And of course, the candies were delicious.

Mmmm chocolate
i had a mommy son weekend this past weekend and we celebrated our own early Valentines day! First stop was at Costco for some custom dipped strawberries… stop #2 was at Sees candy to sample and select some delicious chocolate!
I have never been to this location before… always gone to UTC… but it is always so darn crowded there. We arrived 30 minutes before closing (5:30)…the weekend before V-​Day so I thought it would be super crowded… nope. just one lady in front of me who bought 2 pieces of chocolate.
the ladies there were so friendly! they offered us sample after sample (we didn’t even have to ask)…I think my son and I had 4 or 5 pieces of chocolate EACH! wow!
we ended up buying a little over a pound of delish chocolate.9 pieces of milk chocolate caramels, 8 pieces of milk chocolate covered toffee, 8 pb patties (milk choc of course), 4 mint patties (milk chocolate dipped), 4 milk chocolate covered almond/​caramel…
yum yum!!!
My kids didn’t even know that places like this existed! this was pure heaven for him… still talking about it a week later.

I got a gift certificate for 1# of See’s for Christmas. I’ve always gotten the pre-​packed chocolates as gifts and thankyou’s so it was my first time since being a kid in a See’s Candy store.
As soon as i stepped in the door i was offered a piece of chocolate and was told which items were on sale (mostly Christmas stuff). Having never picked out a box before i wondered if it was like a fast food joint, where if you get a combo its cheeper. No they said everything is $ 16.50/pound. Although I like See’s Nut’s and Chews mix, there’s always a few left in the box that i don’t care for and a few that once the box is opened i try to make sure i get dibs on. So i figured I’d pick my own pound piece by piece. I got a few things that i have not seen in the assortments, so it was great to try a few new things and still get a bunch of stuff that i know i really like.
Guess it’s true you are what you eat, cause these sweet old ladies are so helpful and nice. They were patient, knew all about the chocolates, even offered to gift wrap it for me. I declined because i knew the box would be open on the drive home.
It was really fun to customize your own box that way you don’t get stuck with a box of 4 or 5 chocolates that no one wants to eat or cuts in half to figure out what they are.
Good chocolates, Great service, Big Smiles! =)
I was truly a kid in a candy store!

The lady working here was sweet like chocolate. I walked in and she quickly handed me a free sample. Ahhhh, how I love chocolate and even more so when it’s unpaid for.
I roamed around for a bit, but had an idea of what I already wanted. Grabbed Thanksgiving chocolates and went to the register. I asked the lady if it’s true that they can eat as much chocolate they want for FREE. She said some other lady who works there eats pounds of it everyday!!!
Can we say, loco? But, hey, at least she’s found her perfect job!
