Always such wonderful customer service from the ladies here. So pleasant to visit & the fact that you still get a free sample when you walk in is just it feels, like Childhood read more

This was my first time at this location and my last. The staff here were rude and seemed to not like their job, not sure if it's because they were overwhelmed with Valentine's Day or it's a regular thing with this store. No greeting at the door or offers of a piece of chocolate like the other See's locations. The cashier that helped me seemed very grouchy, she didn't even look at me or said hello, just scanned my items and bagged them. I had to ask for a chocolate sample because she also didn't offer me one and made it seem like a hassle. I will stick to my regular See's Candy store at the mall. read more

This place is the total sweet spot! There's street parking plus a small private lot right behind the shop, so getting in and out is a breeze. They're closed on Sundays, but that's never a hassle; during the holidays they extend their hours, which is great when gift-shopping season hits. Inside, the store is spotless, fully stocked, and all the new arrivals are front-and-center, so browsing is genuinely fun. The staff are consistently warm and welcoming: they always have a sample ready and somehow nail a recommendation that matches my taste every time. Want something ultra-personal? Go for the Build-a-Box option and curate your very own custom mix. Seasonal packaging and ready-to-gift boxes make it easy to grab presents for any occasion. My can't-miss picks are Dark Chocolate Nuts & Chews, Milk California Brittle, Extra Fancy Mixed Salted Nuts, and Dark Scotchmallow--absolute winners. Dietary needs? They've got you covered: -Nut-free: Assorted Candy Bars, Assorted Lollypops -Dairy-free: Hot Hearts, Extra Fancy Mixed Salted Nuts, Licorice Medallions -Egg-free: All Foiled Novelties, Assorted Candy Bars, Assorted Lollypops -Gluten-free: Peppermint Twists, Jelly Beans -Soy-free: Sour Jelly Beans, Sour Stars read more

This is the cutest See's location! The ladies working there are so sweet and it's charming inside. So much selection for the holidays-it's a go-to for stocking stuffers and yummy gifts for family. We came on a Saturday and there wasn't a long line at all. I hope See's will stay in Escondido for many generations to come. read more

I stopped by today at opening to beat the Holiday rush for "Easter sweet treats". I was welcomed by Teresa and enjoyed her showing me around the shop to see all the wonderful adorable and delicious varieties of yummy chocolates. I happily devoured my personalized sample and received the sweetest service, pun intended! I purchased an Easter basket for my Son, a chocolate cream egg that almost is too pretty to eat. ... And of course, chocolate bunnies for the littles. Thank you See's chocolates and Teresa for helping to make our families Easter celebration a sweet one! read more

I love this location. All of the staff members I have encountered have been very friendly, helpful and patient. I'm not sure if it's just my timing or if it doesn't get as busy as some of the other locations as I've never had to wait too long and they have their own parking lot in the back. The store is always super clean and well stocked. Plus who doesn't love high quality chocolate and a free sample! They do offer coupons sometimes so be on the lookout for those. I highly recommend this location and will definitely be back! read more

Accessibility: this location has its own parking lot in the back of the building with one disabled parking spot. From the parking lot it's all paved and flat ground so you can go on the sidewalk into the building. The front door is a bit heavy so you might need help opening it if doors are hard for you. Environment: this is my favorite See's Candies location I've ever been to. The staff are so sweet and always remember me, along with the building being super cute! It always looks clean inside, I've seen them sweeping the floors many times, and it's usually not too busy unless it's around the holidays...then the line is out the door. Price range is $$ or $$$ I would say. Masks: as of 8-5-21 masks are only required inside this building if you are unvaccinated. I am personally thankful the staff were all wearing masks and they wear gloves when handling money. Always a wonderful experience here; please come and enjoy the delicious treats! They have pre-packaged chocolates of all different assortments, they have lollipops, and they have an option where you can pick all the individual chocolates you want! I will keep supporting this business I love. read more

This location has always been fabulous, but if there were a rating above fabulous they would hit it! Laura helped me on Sunday and she was so sweet and patient and kind. She made wonderful suggestions as I asked her, inserted information on new candies I possibly didn't know about and overall was just a joy to have help me. See's Candy is so much more than just candy. For my family, it is wonderful family memories especially around the holidays. Thank you Laura for bringing such happiness to my family and for making it so easy to buy just the right candy for each person ! I wish all of you prosperity, peace and joy during this Holiday Season and throughout 2025! read more

Like to come and get candy here for gifts...lots of choices....store is great and staff is helpful. It is a good place to purchase gifts for family and friends. read more

The Sees Staff is doing COVID 19 distancing right!! Only *4* people allowed in at a time (regardless of height, so if you bring your two kids, you will have to wait for three people to exit). Pro Tip- You can also call in your order and bypass the LONG line for the shorter line on the left. The staff here continues to be sweet:) Don't forget to pick up Lunar New Year Chocolates. The celebration is quickly approaching on 2/12/2021. I love how they celebrate allllll holidays read more

Stopped in last week and Cathy greeted me & kindly offered me the exact chocolate my mom requested as she sat in the car. I proceeded to choose my goodies and Cathy suggested something I had not tried and it was delicious. Cathy absolutely exemplifies great customer service. Happy with my regular goodies and will be adding the one Cathy suggested in my future visits. read more

Wow! So glad I came here for a last min gift for my mom and girlfriend. First time in this store and it won't be the last. Right when I stepped in, I was greeted by two lovely ladies. Both had big smiles on their faces and made me feel so welcome. The owner(sad I didn't get her name!) told me it was the store's 50 year anniversary! She was the one to help me whip up these awesome gifts! The sweetest lady ever! Bless her kind heart What a gem in Escondido... read more

On Thursday April 6th stopped by to pick up my order of over $100 which I placed on line. I stood at the counter asking telling them I was there to pick up the on line order. Another person stood behind me. The sales person asked me to step aside so she could help the person behind me!! I was very angry and disappointed with their service and for not acknowledging me first after all I spent over a $100 purchase online. This salesperson was very rude. Her cashier number is 019300000014 and I would not recommend that Location. I will not never stop again. read more

The staff at this See's Candy store was very nice and helpful! They were patient with customers and very friendly! And.... The candy was perfect!! read more

My family has been longtime customers of this See's store for at least 12 years now, since I was in middle school. Katie S. (also known by other customers as the "friendly woman with the red hair") is the main reason why we keep coming back! Throughout the years, she has been so incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable with what to recommend and how to create the perfect gift purchase. We've been solely using this location as our one-stop shop for teacher appreciation gifts a few times each year, and Katie is just a professional whirlwind when it comes to offering to wrap up each box in the iconic See's black-and-white checkered paper w/ gold ribbon. My mom and I especially love saying hello to her and sampling chocolate while we chat (I discovered the white chocolate strawberry via Katie's recommendation; it is to DIE for!). Sometimes if we see her working, we'll just pop in and buy a small box of chocolates for a later gift. Her professionalism and friendly attitude always makes us look forward each time we're ready for a See's visit, and they're very lucky to have her. Thanks, Katie! read more

So I bought myself a box of chocolates... Monique was so very helpful narrowing down my selection without making feel like I was being too picky ...lol She help me put together a pound of milk chocolate creamies, caramelies and added something extra with mint for me to try! I may even share with family ...just so I don't gain 5 pounds. read more

My husband and I just picked up some chocolates and the sales associate Nicole was so nice! She had a great smile, easy to talk to, and made great recommendations. We appreciate that a lot! read more

I love See's Candies. Their selection is always wonderful, their chocolates are of the highest quality, and the staff in all their stores are super nice. This particular location, though, seems to be blessed with extra lovely people. They always have a cheery greeting and a smile when I walk in. They point out anything new or seasonal in a non-pushy fashion. They check you out swiftly with a smile and a "Thank you so very much!". Thank you See's for yet another lovely chocolate shop. read more

I was recently in to use a gift card received during Christmas. Jennifer helped me with filling an order and checking out. Her customer service skills are amazing! She couldn't have been more helpful or friendly! She's a gem! read more

Jennifer and Andrea are the best employees ever and deserve so much recognition for keeping the place flowing. I've seen customers be downright rude and disrespectful to them over the smallest of things (and things they do not control such as price) and they still manage to be professional and helpful to ultimately meet the needs of the customer. Jennifer helped me get all my Christmas gifts for 2021 and I'm so thankful I got exactly what I needed. Me and both of my brother in laws always can rely on Andrea for birthday treats! This is their new go-to, so I take them to her for guidance. Always helps us choose the best options. Thank you. read more

Best candy store on the planet! Lucky to live in a place where we have not one but two stores close to home. The Valley Parkway store is the best and closest to home for me. Thanks ladies! read more

This place is the BOMB! Creamy chocolate Di-liciousness! If I wasn't already married I would Mary a box of milk chocolate Bordeaux! Old lady See's knew her B-naz, to this day my favorite chocolate creations. read more

This See's Candy has the best customer service. I have had great service from everyone, including Cathy, Jennifer and Monica!! They always seem happy to see me are so knowledgeable about the products. read more

Convenient. Stand alone building with dedicated parking. No need to search for parking or enter a big shopping mall. Loaded up on Christmas candy today in short order. Friendly and attentive staff. Check out this location for a pleasant and timely shopping experience. The staff even helped an older patron by carrying her bags to her car for her! Nice, nice, nice! I love this place! read more

Most offices in this country have a plethora of See's Candy delivered to them from clients, staff members, etc. during the holidays. My office was definitely no different, so when one of my aunts sent me a gift certificate for a pound of See's Candy, I knew right where that box was going. On the day I went in to redeem my gift certificate, it was raining super hard, but that did not stop anyone. The parking lot behind the shop was full, but there was plenty of parking on the street. The layout of the shop was perfect. This day was particularly busy so the crowd was massive. One line was dedicated to those people who wanted to build their own candy boxes, while another line was dedicated to those who wanted to buy pre-packaged candy boxes and items, so people could get out quicker. I loved that!! Some doof in the "build-a-box" line got sidetracked with talking to people from his past, so he was not completing his order and was holding up the line. The cashier in the pre-packaged line was keeping the young cashier girls in line and encouraged them to keep the doof focused so the crowd could keep moving. Massive kudos to her!! People have places to go and no one should be held up because of another dude. You know you are getting a good thing with See's Candies (and if you have never had one before, trust me...it is good!), but this location had easy parking and great customer service!!! Friendly and keeping the crowds moving in and out. Loved it! read more

I come here frequently and am never dissatisfied. They are almost never out of anything and the staff is extremely attentive and friendly, not to mention helpful. Cathy W. in particular does a fantastic job on a routine basis! The rest of the staff is very friendly too. Overall I would highly recommend this location for the great service, convenient location, and delicious confections! read more

My experience here regarding customer service was do good that it deserves a review. Most of us have had See's Candy, but for those who have not... the choices and broad, heavy on chocolate choices. Good quality. Why you should come to THIS location is the customer service is WONDERFUL. Attentive, happy, polite, and very respectful of whatever budget you give them. It was a wonderful service experince. read more

I love See's Candies, but every year they run out of their best selling chocolates and their holiday help is extremely rude, as though you should feel privileged their helping you. After the holidays they are the best! read more

The ladies that work at this see's candy store is so nice and helpful they make sure to take care of all your needs.

Took my girlfriend there because she was having a bad day and the staff completely turned her mood around. They were absolutely amazing and made sure to wrap the box for her and everything. She loves stuff like that so I'm just really grateful for you guys! I wish I could remember the name of the woman who helped us but she had red hair and was absolutely phenomenal. Thanks see's! read more

I have been here twice in the past month and was helped both times by Cathy. If you're used to the great customer service from the south, then you'll love Cathy. We were laughing throughout the entire transaction. She really does love her job and it shows. Having recently been to a restaurant where there cashier wouldn't even look at me, it was so refreshing to be served by someone as friendly as Cathy. I'll definitely be back. read more

Went here a couple days before Valentine's Day to get chocolate for my kids and hubby. The ladies are very sweet, but they were so slow and unorganized. One lady was taking orders, one was just waiting at the cash register not doing anything. I just could not wait any longer and walked out. There were only two people ahead of me in line. I drove by the next day and the line was huge, so I drove to the See's at the mall. The line was long, but they were so organized. The lady who seemed to be in charge was telling other employees where to go....I want you on the register..I want you over here....Customers stand behind the exit sign if you are waiting to check out....She was an amazing organizer. Needless to say I was in and out so fast. What a difference! read more

Love this place. It is a step back in time with extraordinary chocolates and candies. Highly recommend; not just for the product but the atmosphere with such outstanding customer service. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. Quality has been extraordinary for decades. I have so many fond memories from my childhood associated with this SEE's. It is just as good today as it has ever been, unlike many other candies. Thank you! read more

I went to See's Candies in Escondido on East Valley Parkway to buy Easter treats for my family. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Kathy W. with a smile and a sample!! Kathy was very helpful in knowing what specific chocolates were in the the pre-made Easter boxes. She also let me know what my choices were for chocolate and peanut butter eggs. When I went to the candy counter to select my husband's favorites, Maria G. was happy, knowledgable and prepared my hand selected one pound box. Theresa the store manager asked if I she could help me with anything else before I left the store and told me to have a great day. WOW! Thank you for the EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE ladies! This level of customer service is hard to find these days. Whenever I want See's Candy I will be sure to return to this store! read more
