    Easter candies
    Ross T.

    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!

    Thank you for the free tote bag on your 35th anniversary at Ala Moana Center on 3-1-24!

    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)!

    Happy National Lollipop Day! Thanks to my Nadine C who notified me of this sweet day and that See's is giving away a lollipop in celebration no purchase is needed. Not sure if it was timed but the theme currently is their "Lolly Palooza" and the current July deal is 20% off packaged Lollypops & Little Pops woah!! Lollipops galore of all kinds individual, packaged and themed "Hello Baby" and other tins and one I couldn't resist "Beach Ball" color pop tin which is going to a work bestie. Offering various chocolates as well this sweet place was never shy for a treat and with a display of greeting cards and gift bag it's a one stop shop to take care of that special event or just because, BunBun and I got our sugar fix even entered See's Lolly Palooza Sweet-stakes to win lollipops for a year lol! See's has always been there for many events and celebrations and today we celebrate the lollipop with you! Thank you!

    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!

    Bridge mix
    Paul C.

    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.

Momi Dolce's owner and confectioner is Michelle Serota who is from Brazil and she brings her tradition to Hawai'i. She sells her brigadeiros (pronounced "Bree-gah-day-ro") by 4-pack or 6-pack. Her featured flavors are: -Dark chocolate -Crunchy chocolate with cacao nibs -Coconut (white chocolate) -Passion fruit or lilikoi (white chocolate) -Kauai coffee -Almond All of the flavors are intense but balanced by the premium chocolate and condensed milk used in making them. I suppose one could compare them to ganache that is used in making chocolate truffles. These brigadeiros are creamy and fudge-like though it melts smoothly as you might pop them in your mouth. The good thing about Momi Dolce is that Michelle can be reached online so you don't have to wait for her appearance at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. You can thank me later... Obrigado!

I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.
