See’s Candies

Any place that offers you a free sample of delicious chocolate is getting five stars in my book. Most people don’t know but you can also request a second sample piece usually you’ll get a remark or a look from the women but not here. I’d like this specific sees candies because it’s rather spacious as opposed to the one located inside of the mall. For some reason I feel that this particular sees candies tends to be a little bit more organized and detailed as opposed to the other locations. I am not sure why that is but it’s just something that I noticed. Also they always have a wider selection than the most locations since they are larger store. The parking situation may not be the best only because of the narrow parking spots but it’s worth the hassle because usually it’s not very packed in that particular plaza and you’re getting free chocolate. Also before they gave my son a free piece of chocolate she asked me first which I really appreciate. They also made sure that we didn’t have a peanut allergy which I can appreciate as well since I have a gluten allergy. most people don’t care to ask about those kinds of things.

Very specious and bright clean store. I think the service here is 10 times better than their store in Northridge … Here they make you feel like you are at home. Leslie is a sweetheart … She let me try almond chocolate. Soooooo yummy … I am coming back here for sure and they have amazing gift boxes … Next time you go for a date … Pick up a cute box from here and I am sure your date will be even sweeter than this chocolate lol

They have the best gift boxes and presents for birthdays or graduations. I mean who doesn’t like chocolate! They have such a great variety!

Standard see’s candy store, very spacious and bright, variety of sweets, candies and chocolates, nice staff.

I haven’t been to this store in sometime. I am trying to find out if they offer a low income discount. Anyone know?

This is a CA staple. If you’re from out of town or you’re going out of state they make a nice gift.
You can also create your own box. My favorite is half berry filled half nut filled.
It’s good stuff.

I love me some See’s chocolates. Nuts & Chews are my favorite. They were packed of course on Christmas week, but service was still fast.
The employees looked tired, but they were still friendly.
Note: They offer discounts if you work at a participating company.

Historically I have been more than happy with See’s and considered them the best chocolates on the face of the earth. But something seems to have changed at See’s and some products just aren’t consistently good any more.
Two recent negative experiences: Salted nuts (the big nuts in the tin) were stale and very nasty tasting/​smelling; and the orange and chocolate wafers seemed stale too. The fondant wafers were grainy, oddly colored, and hard… but the chocolate was yummy.
I’m just too lazy to return them for replacement even though I know the ladies at See’s will make things right. I expect them to be right from the start… just like every See’s product once was.
I’m also a bit miffed about the discontinuance of the Victoria Toffee (the chunk in the box). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done minor amounts of verbal sparring with the See’s ladies who claim that Toffee-​ette are the same. No, they are not. The balance between toffee and chocolate is different… and Victoria toffee was the better product.
Sorry See’s… but I’m no longer saying «woohoo». My heart is broken.

When I was a wee lass I seriously wanted to be a See’s Candies lady. I loved everything about them — the free samples, the immaculate white uniform, the fact that they probably could nibble on bits of chocolate all day. It’s probably a good thing that I did not have a See’s close to my house growing up, if I did it would be safe to say I would probably be typing this review with a stick from my mouth because I’d probably be so morbidly obese that I couldn’t lift my hands.
Yep. That’s how much I love See’s. I love the fact that it is great chocolate at a great price. Sure there are probably «better» chocolatier in Los Angeles those that use Saffron and Pure Baltic Sea Salt to flavor their candies — but I love See’s for its simplicity, creaminess, friendly staff, and the fact that See’s gives you a great quality product at an extremely reasonable price.
That is another great thing about THIS particular See’s location. This is one of those coorporate discount locations, meaning that (thank you Metro) I get special prices on the boxes of goodies. I stopped by here the other day and picked up 1 pound of assorted chocolates for the MIL for $ 13 and some change (normally that would retail closer to $ 20). With that price it is surprising that I didn’t buy myself a second box to scarf down in my car as I drove around town… come to think about it I am still rather dissapointed in myself. I did however pick up a few single chocolate pieces for myself, and I was offered a delicious buttercream sample. The highlight of my chocolate pieces was the seasonal pumpkin pie truffle — absolutely amazing and bursting with truffle flavor. I also had to help myself to two pieces of key lime pie truffle (amazing and creamy!) I wish they would have had Polar Bear Paws at the time (I love how you get 2 pieces) but alas they were fresh out.
So in conclusion See’s is one of the most amazing places on planet earth and you simply must visit. Nothing about your visit will ever be dissapointing, and that my friends is a promise!

Gets crowded around the holidays, get your chocolates early.
Parking can be difficult, its a small plaza.
++ service with a smile and a sample.
+ my favorites, scotch-​mallow, dark chocolate molasses chips, and dark chocolate chewy nuts

The staff at this particular location just isn’t happy, cheery, smiley, or friendly. But hey to be honest I don’t care because I’m there for the awesome candy. I am a regular at See’s, this one is close to work, very large with a good selection, and there is never a line which on the Friday before mother’s day was a major plus for me. The parking lot is small and oddly slanted but I’ve never had a problem parking and getting right in and out… I gave 4 stars for the quality of the candy, the full stock of the store, including specialty and seasonal items, and the short lines that move quickly. I took 1 star away because I’m truly a cheery person when I come to a retail place because I know how hard the job is, but I always get the cold hurry up and buy I don’t want to be bothered shoulder when I come to this location. Of the 6 or so ladies working only 1 tries to force a smile and act like you aren’t’ ruining her day by purchasing candy. I mean come on people you work at the Disneyland of candy shops everyone should be happy around chocolate.

Smells like scrumptiousness in here. The store is always beautiful and clean. I love everything. I always stop in for the holidays though usually after visiting the dentist ;)

Well, no one ever offered me a sample =(
Okay this place is a bit misleading regarding discounts. Only a small section of the store is discounted. If you want to buy the candies where they weigh it, it is regular retail price. Wasn’t worth making a special trip for when I could have just gone to the Northridge Mall.
It was packed too, but granted it was a Saturday. They have a security guard which I thought was strange considering nearly everyone there is middle aged-​about to die. Parking is a pain in the ass. I just walked in a small side street and walked.
Not worth a trip unless you plan on buying many boxes of discounted things.

Yummiest candy I’ve ever tasted! Clean store, with plenty of help so even if there’s a line at the cash register it moves quickly.

Big, bright, clean store. Great service, nice people and yummy, oh so yummy, candy and chocolates.
I want to give them 5 stars, but I have to say… Godiva’s store has better chocolate. See’s is basically the same thing all the time, but its a classic and it is still so very good!

This is the discount outlet See’s Candies. That means nothing in terms of the service and products. They still sell all the first quality products you find in the other locations but they offer you discounted pricing.
They have some type of membership which allows you special pricing on their merchandise. I don’t know the details to this «member’s pricing club» but I know that they also accept my company ID badge and gave me discounted pricing. That being said, I was able to get close to 25% off my shopping from them.
I’ll be back every time I get a craving or need to get any See’s gifts.

I had the need to buy a quickie xmas gift for the holiday exchange at work and omg the parking lot was full up to the brim waiting to get a spot to go to this location. Considering I used to visit See’s as a child whenever my stepdad got one of those handy dandy gift certificates I always enjoyed help picking out bits of goodies to stuff in a box. This particular store I was on a mission to grab and go. The ladies in the shop were cheery and helpful and pointed out to get the discount I have to get a See’s card. Lawd that would just mean more trouble for my teetering waistline. Pretty good deals for the holiday. Come check it out!

who doesn’t love See’s?!? I don’t eat them as much anymore but when the holidays come around a box is always nice to have around! I like this particular store its big, the selection is very good, and the staff is super friendly!
Another reason why I will keep coming back… they give you military discount (must have military id) yay for that! :)

This is a discount store, which means if you have a discount card, you get the candies at a much better price.
The store is big and well stocked. The women that work here always have a smile on their face and never forget to pass out a sample. Just tried the California Brittle and I think I am in love.
Favorite things at See’s:
— 1 pound box of Nuts & Chews
— California Brittle
— Toffe-​ettes
— Raspberry cream
Another great thing, is they always have boxed chocolates that have been wrapped for the same price, so you don’t have to worry about it.
I always have a few boxes on hand as emergency gifts.

When it come to See’s Candies, I am definitely an addicted addict! This isn’t the best location there is, but why complain? In my neighborhood, there isn’t one!
