I remember after I gave birth to my kids, I gave out either Good News candy bars or See's lollipops with "It's a Boy!" OR "It's a Girl!" complimentary stickers they offer. About a month ago, I dropped by See's Candies located in the Ala Moana Center after my errands. I decided to check out the lollipops I was thinking of picking up for baby shower favors. There were 2 very friendly workers that were eager to help. Asked them if I were to buy the lollipops, would I be able to get a "boy" and "girl" sticker for each pop since the shower is for twins? No hesitation...they said "Yes!" The shower is in 3 days so decided to pick up the lollipops today at the Ala Moana Center location even though the Aiea location is only a mile away from my home because we remembered how nice the workers were. Raquel, one of the workers we met last month was working. She remembered us and was so happy that we returned. Teddy who I believe was the manager helped us. I gave him the 2 boxes that included 30 lollipops each and informed him about the boy/girl stickers. He got the 120 stickers right away...yay! I also wanted to pick up candies for my husband and me. Guess I didn't visit See's for a long time because the cost of a 1# box is $37.25...I remember it was in the mid $20's. Oh, what the heck! Gonna treat us to some tasty candies so I ordered 1/2# Molasses Chips (husband's favorite) and 1/2# Peanut Crunch (my favorite). Teddy informed us that they have 1/2# pre-packaged "Classic Favorites" on the tiered circular shelves located in the middle of the store. We found my favorite on that shelf and the Molasses Chips in a box on the wall shelf so we saved a total of $2.65 or paid $34.60 a pound. So, before you buy 1/2# of your favorite candy, check out all the shelves first. Any discount is better than nothing, right?! My thoughts about See's Candies as a whole...the stores are always clean, presentation and displays of their items are so neat and organized and the workers are always friendly and helpful. Thumbs up! Oh, and we can't forget...they give you a free candy sample when you come in...yum! This store is located right outside of the Ala Moana Center's food court and there's lots of free parking but sometimes hard to find open spaces.

Located on the ground floor of the Ala Moana Shopping Center near the Foodcourt On the Waikiki side of the shopping center. The staff was very friendly and helpful, besides giving you a sample of their product. They had so much to choose from and purchased for our Easter gifts to pass out! They have very good quality products and a large variety to choose from! Parking shared my other tenants of the shopping center, but they have lots of parking avalible.

If you're looking for an easy, elegant holiday gift, See's Candies at Ala Moana Center is a great choice. I stopped by the evening before Christmas Eve and was surprised by how quick and stress-free the experience was--street-level parking (between the center of the mall and Macy's) was easy, and the store is bright, clean, and well organized. The staff was friendly and proactive, offering samples and helpful suggestions. They also had a limited-time holiday treat: a dark-chocolate-covered marshmallow caramel shaped like a Christmas tree--perfect as a small add-on or stocking stuffer. I appreciated that they offer smaller box options as well, which made it easy to shop for more diet-conscious recipients without sacrificing presentation or quality. Teddy D., the manager, personally helped curate a custom box of dark chocolate nuts and chews and made sure everything was wrapped beautifully in festive red paper with a satin ribbon. Teddy was fast and extremely detail-oriented, even trimming the ribbon ends neatly--one of those small touches that instantly makes a gift feel polished and thoughtful. If you need a gift that looks great, travels well, and works for a range of tastes and lifestyles, this See's location makes it easy. I'll definitely be back for future gifting.

See's Candies, which has a history in the United States and opened in 1921, is very famous, but it can be said that it is a nostalgic taste that has been eaten since childhood, especially for American residents. In 1998, when I first visited California, my friend came to the airport to pick me up with a large box of See's candy. I tried it as soon as I got home, but it was quite intensely sweet for me, so I did not finish the box of chocolates during my stay. But I didn't want to hurt my friend's feelings, so I gratefully took the chocolate back to Japan as a souvenir. I don't know what to say, but when I ate it in Japan, it tasted nostalgic, a reminder of America! My family and I shared See's candy & chocolate. When I visited California again, I went to See's Candies myself and bought a small assorted box. Before I knew it, I became a fan of their chocolate. I remember being happy to find See's Candies at Kahala Mall when I moved to Hawaii. Now I often stop by the Ala Moana store, but when I see new seasonal chocolates and candies in addition to the regular chocolates in the showcase, I can't help but be drawn into the store. I'm here. The Ala Moana store is popular and you often have to wait at the cash register, but in such cases, the friendly staff will hand out sample chocolate at a good time. So maybe you can wait without getting annoyed even in a long line. Now that the holiday season is here, the store is full of Halloween and Christmas products. It's exciting and fun to make a custom box with the smiles of your family and friends in mind! There is also a combination of Hawaiian style candies, so it's perfect for souvenirs. Overly sweet but still an iconic taste of good old American history! LOL Please enjoy See's candy and chocolate while being careful of tooth decay! 1921年開業のアメリカの歴史あるseed's chocolate はあまりにも有名ですが、特に米在住者に取っては子供の頃から食べ慣れた懐かしい味と言えるでしょう。 私がカリフォルニアを初めて訪れた1998年、私の友達はseed's candyの大きな箱を抱えて空港に迎えに来てくれました。 家に到着して直ぐに食べたのですが、私にはかなり強烈な甘さで、私が滞在中にチョコレートの箱が空になる事はありませんでした。でも、私は友達の気持ちを無にしたく無かったので、そのチョコレートを有り難くお土産として日本に持って帰りました。 どう言うわけか日本で食べてみると、アメリカの懐かしい味がしたのです！ 私と家族はseed'sチョコレートを大切に分け合って食べました。 再び私がカリフォルニアを訪れた時、私は自らseed's chocolateに行き小さ目の詰め合わせボックスを買いました。 いつの間にか私はseed's chocolateのファンになっていました。 ハワイに移住した時カハラモールでseed's chocolateを見つけ嬉しかった事を覚えています。今はAla Moana 店に立ち寄る事が多いですが、ショーケース内のレギュラーチョコレート以外に、seasonalなチョコレートとキャンディーが新たに並べられて居るのを見るとつい店内に引き込まれてしまいます。Ala Moana店は人気でレジで待つ事もしばしば有りますが、そんな時はフレンドリーなスタッフがグッドタイミングでサンプルのチョコレートを配ってくれます。 だから長い列でもイライラせずに待てるのかも知れません。 ホリデーシーズン迎えた今、店内はハロウィンとクリスマス用の商品で溢れています。家族や友達の笑顔を思い浮かべてカスタムボックスを作るのは自分自身もワクワクしてとても楽しいです！ ハワイ仕様の組み合わせもあるのでお土産には最適ですね。 古き良きアメリカの歴史を感じる甘くて甘い！(LOL)seed's candy and chocolate を虫歯に気を付けながら味わってください！

Can you believe that See's Candies has been at Ala Moana Center for 35 years? Today, 3-1-24, is their 35th Anniversary! What a way to start the month... and on an Aloha Friday! I saw a post on Facebook that invited everyone to the Ala Moana Center celebration! Each person got a free tote bag and a sample of chocolate! (Today's sample was Butter Cream!) Customers also got a chance to play the Scavenger Hunt and Guess How Many Candies in Each Jar games. It was really fun! The staff were super friendly and welcoming! The guy at the door was so patient in explaining everything to the customers! The gal behind the counter was so kind and encouraging about participating in the games, didtributing game sheets, and passing out pens! I really enjoyed the free, covered parking, wonderful air-conditioning, cute greeting cards, and Easter merchandise (especially the Bunny House and bunny totes)!

This Sees location is so busy but has lots of friendly and helpful staff! Patty Mae is exceptionally nice, friendly and personable! We have been coming to the Ala Moana location even though we live on the East Side. My husband loves the Pecan Roll. My favorites include the Dark Peppermint Patties, Dark chocolate raisins (so plump and soft), Scotchmallow because i love marshmallow! It's so much fun to go to the counter and pick out your favorites! Just like a kid in a "Candy Store"! Patty Mae and her manager Todd display such professionalism and awesome customer service! Warren Buffett should be proud to have such excellent staff at Ala Moana shopping center! Kudos to Patty Mae!

Business owners read and the dedicated ones will reach out to you. I am living proof. When I went to Jejubing in Ala Moana for dessert per family's request in Nov 2022, I made a pit stop to See's Candies (SC) to try the Bridge Mix that my friend has just been raving about over and over. Curiosity got the best of me, and I purchased a 1/2 bag that I picked up off the shelf. At $32/lb I'll admit this was good except for coming across a rancid nut that had me disappointed. I posted my review a month later after this experience and within the hour after posting the business owner (Johnnie W.) reached out to me apologizing for what I encountered. I was asked to provide my information and a district sales manager would be contacting me within 2 days. But guess what? I was contacted in less than 2 hours by Eric. I was stunned and impressed with such dedication to customer service. Eric asked me to stop by the store as SC wanted to restore my feelings about their products. The next thing you know, Christmas and New Year's flew by. During the busy holidays, I refused to go to Ala Moana as I didn't want to deal with the heavy foot traffic and aggressive drivers looking parking stalls. I finally made my way to SC last week Friday. It was just before noon, and I walked into a very busy store with many customers, so I stood in line. While waiting, a staff offered me a sample (marzipan?), which was just delicious. When it was my turn, I advised the staff I was here to pick-up a package. After providing my name, within several minutes I was given a paper bag with handles containing Bridge Mix and a sample bag. I am truly impressed with SC dedication to product quality and customer service. I have been purchasing their candies for YEARS and satisfied with their products. I even recall purchasing SC in San Francisco to take back to Japan as souvenirs when I flew back in the mid-90's for my maternal grandmother's memorial services. Japanese don't really care for American confectionary because of its excessive sweetness to their taste but commented on the high quality of product. SC has earned my respect as the company truly believes and values the finest ingredients and paired with excellent customer service. I will continue to patronize SC.
