While driving up to LA from San Diego, we decided to take the coastal route up from Dana Point and make some shopping stops. Since See's Candies is mostly a West Coast chain, we had to make a stop here on the Pacific Coast Hwy. As soon as you walk into the bright white store, you are handed a sample piece of chocolate of the day. I don't remember what flavor it was, but all I remember was that it was DELICIOUS! They will let you sample other flavors as well. For the $200+ purchase we were about to make, I could have gone into a chocolate coma! My wife proceeded to load up a shopping basket with half the store, while I did my Yelp thing and took pictures of everything. This is not a very large See's, but they did have a large selection of pre-packaged chocolates, as well as a la carte pieces in the display cases. SInce it was already November, most of the items on the shelves were Christmas themed, wrapped and ready for gift giving. We ended up shipping most of it home. For my grand niece's birthday party the following week, we brought a box of the lollipop variety pack and it was a hit with all the kids! read more

Always a great experience at See's. Love that they welcome you with a sample and have a dark or a milk. Love the seasonal selections and love the taste of their chocolate overall. Hands down my favorite chocolate shop! Store is well maintained and clean. Always helped by a jovial staff member. Highly recommend and will be a repeat customer forever! read more

Cute location with a small parking lot next to it. As always at See's, I was offered a free piece of candy when I arrived. I was given a scotch mallow. It was past its prime with the caramel being very hard. I wondered if they changed the recipe or if it was old. I had planned to get some scotch mallows but opted for something else because the sample was not good! The other chocolates I got were fine, however, I would find out that the recipe was the same and the caramel was not supposed to be hard like the sample I was given at this location. Friendly service. read more

10/10 experience !! came here on 2/2 and everyone was so welcoming, kind, and personable. most specifically brian !! he let us have options to choose from when offered a sample which made the experience even more sweet. the shop is smaller than most locations but from entering the shop brian made us feel super welcomed. it was a pleasant experience from entering, purchasing some gifts for friends, and seeing the valentines display was so cute !! shout out to brian b for the best candy experience ever! highly recommend this store !! read more

Natalie actually got strawberry cream sample ready for my daughter, before she made all her big purchase choices! There are three other sees candies closest to us, But the employees here are very nice! read more

See's Candies - Such a cute store - Candy Stores Near Me - Corona del Mar, California

I'm writing this review on behalf of my mom, who has loved See's Candies her entire life. Katie manages a beautiful shop off PCH in Corona Del Mar, and we had the pleasure of being helped by Bonnie L. She was so friendly and made our whole candy shopping experience fun and memorable! Bonnie was so patient with my mom and very helpful during our visit. This store, which has been open since 1958, truly represents everything wonderful about See's Candies and brings back so many special memories from my mom's childhood. Thank you for keeping the tradition alive! read more

I built a 2lb box on Christmas Eve. It got super busy but Tom was nice about my long order. Makes a difference, especially on the holidays.

Love this location! Staff is friendly, order pickup is efficient, the lines are never crazy and there's always parking. Sure beats going to the ones in busy malls and shopping centers. Today they even surprised me with extra chocolates sneakily stuffed in my to-go bag (the perfect treat-myself for last minute gift wrapping!). While PCH may be a drive for some, it's worth this delicious detour! read more

This is my favorite location!! Absolutely the best chocolate money can buy. This location has amazing service and even during the holidays the staff was friendly and kept the line moving! I feel sorry for the people on the East Coast that don't know how awesome See's candy is. read more

Everything you'd expect at a See's store. High quality chocolate treats, lovely people working to make your experience pleasant.

My husband and I love See's candies. Not having access to them in Florida is a disappointment so whenever we travel we always find a store to stock up. We have decided that purchasing a ready made box isn't as special as selecting our personal favorites. The chocolates also seem to be fresher when we have the box assembled. The lady assisting us on this visit was very patient and friendly. The store was clean and bright. We were offered samples as soon as we walked in There is a nice big candy counter where all of the chocolates sold sit on display. From the display you choose your favorites. The candy is sold by the pound and is guaranteed to be fresh. Any chocolate that is not sold by a certain date is pulled from the inventory. See's does a great job at packaging their chocolates to be presented as gifts. You can purchase them for Birthdays, Holidays, Gender reveal and much more. They are willing to help you cleanly occasion. read more

I have so many good experiences visiting See's Candies since I was a kid. The staff always seem very friendly and helpful. They always offer a free sample when you visit too. I like the quality of their products and their prices are reasonable considering the excellent quality. I would recommend this place. read more

See's Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - Corona del Mar, California

I buy chocolate candies at this See's Candies for special occasions. The staff at the front counter has always been very welcoming and helpful. All of the candies are neatly arranged in their display cases, so everything is very easy to see if you're assembling a box of chocolates for family or friends. When I bring my kids into the store, they always get a free chocolate to eat, and then, they don't want to leave the store. All of the chocolates are fresh and delicious! read more

Very disappointed that the Dark Chocolate Caramel Patties that I received only had 2 patties per cup instead of the usual 3 patties. This Corona Del Mar location is the only one that has done this. Other locations that I've visited have never shorted me. Don't shop at this location as you might get ripped off. read more

The best See's location in Orange County! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They always make you feel right at home! There's an employee named Janet M who is always warm and remembers customers even after years. She's very welcoming and makes it a great experience. read more

Tell me a chocolate that tastes better than the butterscotch squares??!!! I'll wait... ;)

ordered a variety box online where I got to choose my own chocolate. Website was a breeze. I filled out my 1lb box online, paid, and picked it up in the store. They gave my nephew and I free chocolate lollipops, which was nice. The chocolate is some of the best I have had. The best cherry cordial I have had. California brittle is also a favorite. 26$ for so much delicious chocolate. A steal. read more

Sees great chocolates sugar free too or regular . . I come here all the time for occasions .

It goes without saying that See's Candies offers consistently high quality candy and a wide variety of choices, at that. What varies across the locations, however, is the customer service and the overall customer experience. Having been a regular customer since a pound of See's was $2.25 (as I recall being handheld by my grandmother into multiple southern CA locations), I have not found a See's store in all my travels that has such a high level of customer service as this store in Corona del Mar. Each employee seems genuinely nice, happy, and intending to focus on the customer in front of them. This is true despite the two interactions so often inflicted upon store employees by executives sitting in corporate offices who probably have little to no actual in-store experience and believe is productive and profitable: 1) the reflexive "Hi, welcome to [insert store name]" and 2) the upselling invitation guised as introducing customers to new or underselling items. The customer service at this store is so good that even these interactions feel genuinely offered to customers. Since this store's customer service excels over other See's stores, this means to me that the leadership at this store values solid interviewing/hiring/training practices and a healthy work environment. All of this helps when purchasing a fine candy whose price has far outcompeted the rate of inflation over the decades. I would say that their salaries should do the same but that would mean another huge price increase. All in all, this is a great brand and this store outshines all the others I've visited---and that is a lot of See's stores. read more

My favorite See's store! I'm always greeted with a smile. Miss Janet treats us with such kindness and always brightens our day. Not to mention, the chocolates are amazing as well! Raspberry cream and California brittle are my favorites. read more

This is my favorite store, can't say enough good things about it. Janet is always so kind and remembers me every time with a big 'hi'. I was gone for quite a few years as I moved away and when I came back she still remembered me. Now that could say I just eat a lot of See's Candy or that they are just amazing there. Maybe it is a bit of both, but really it is they are do go out of their way to make your experience as good as their candy is. Thank you. read more

Was just OK. For the price of candy, you would think staff would be nicer. Just so so experience. Smiles extra.

Was just served by Juan at this location and he was awesome! Totally made my evening!

We had the best time thanks to John, who really new everything about every type of chocolate and all the specials. I've never bought so much candy in my life!! Thanks John!! read more

I am not a fan of chocolates, but when I have a rare craving of chocolates, See's is my top choice. Dark Chocolate Covered Cherry is the best chocolate covered cheery I have ever had. Very juicy inside, which is extremely difficult to achieve. California Crunch is also one of my favorites. Not overly sweet, perfect blend of toffee, nuts and white chocolate. Their lollipops are also amazing, I love the chocolate flavored pops. I always have a box of little pops on my desk somewhere. Costco sells a 2-pound voucher for $25.99, strong recommended. read more

I was looking for the Valentine's Day Sours and other stores were already out prior to Valentine's Day. This store had them! Looking back to other years/holidays, this store seems to have better inventory closer to the holiday than other stores in the area. Thank you for being reliable! read more

Two words: Double Caramel!! I LOVE this store; all the See's stores I've ever been to are equally wonderful. If you love chocolate, then THIS is your place :-) There are too many of the regular chocolates that I love for me to name them! Over and above those, there are special flavors that are offered seasonally that make my heart race when I think of them - my current favorite seasonal chocolate at See's is Double Caramel; it's SO good! Whatever you decide to buy when you're done with your visit, when you arrive they'll offer you a sample, and the customer service is always helpful and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

This location is as good as it gets. I am a loyal and I mean loyal See's Candies customer. I visit probably 3-4 times per week. Yes, that often. See's candy is amazing and its my one vice. The CDM location is my go to location. Everyone is amazing, from Thanya to Aleczander to Rocio to Janet, from a friendly smile to a laugh about how much I'm ordering to reminding me what my mom or son likes, this group does it all. And they do it with a smile on their face and joy in their attitude. I can't tell you how happy I am that they are back open for business, socially distanced of course. Its super easy to call in an order and show up 5-10 minutes later and my treats are ready! Great location and people oh and the candy is great too!! read more

Rocio was wondering -- so helpful and friendly. You guys have a wonderful holiday. I wish everyone you meet in life is as nice as her. read more

Outstanding candy but even better service. The California brittle, the milk Bordeaux, and the scotch Malo were all breathtaking. I was overcome with an exceptional taste and consumer experience at See's. I will be back, just as often as I am in Southern California, which is realistically never. read more

I've been shopping with See's Candies for a life time. BEST experienced at Corona Del Mar. I usually shopped at Tustin Market Place but Miss Janet made me have the best experienced ever. I will definitely return back to visit Miss Janet again as she helped me with all my needs. Thank you for excellent service. read more

I just wanted to say I've been a fan of See's for years and the eggnog truffles are my favorite! Every year i look forward to going in and visiting my favorite employees at Corona Del Mar. They know customers on name to name basis and make everyone feel welcome. There's many new faces but they are trained very well by their management. Janet and Sarah helped me out my last visit and they were outstanding! read more

See's Candies - I wish a serving size were 10 pieces - Candy Stores Near Me - Corona del Mar, California

Could this be the perfect chocolate shop? Ultra clean white, each candy attractively presented, free samples, and conveniently located right off PCH with plenty of parking. Some love Sees, some hate it, some of us grew up on it. I think it's great. And it's much, much, more reasonably priced than Teuschler down the street. read more

See's Candy is great, we all know that, and this store just adds to the magic! It has a fantastic selection of prepackaged goodies like boxed assortments and bags of caramels, etc. They also have a display case where you can make your own custom box or just order a piece or two. The staff are very helpful and always offer you a piece of candy while you are looking and deciding what to buy. I like this store better than the ones in big shopping centers or malls. Also, they have a small off-street parking lot, which is very convenient.! read more

Anytime you have someone cheerfully hand you a delicious piece of chocolate for free you can't help but feel like the world is all right. I love how they present all the chocolates for sale in a glass case arranged just so. And so many to choose from. Try the chocolate covered almonds. My favorite. Protein and chocolate for some energy. The best. read more

I LOVE See's Candies. I've been a fan of their delicious confections for as long as I can remember. I frequently visit the store located in Corona del Mar on Coast Highway. I enjoy purchasing client & special occassion gifts on a regular basis. While their late this morning, we were greeted by Donna. Donna was cheerful & very friendly- a welcome attitude to experince on a gloomy, overcast day. Donna was quick to provide us with the customary free sample. Not being a huge fan of cream center chocolates, I declined my sample. Donna asked me what I liked. I responded "nuts," and next thing I know Donna is handing me a carmelized nut candy sested on a generous bed of rich chocolate. Yum! While oaying for my purchase Donna shared with us about their new Bear Claw candies. A superb comvinati read more
