    Reached out via message on 2/8/2024, and I replied promptly.

    UPDATE: The Sees team replied within this post to show they're trying to rectify the situation. However, they messaged me and then left me on read. I won't be returning to this chain. Other wonderful options for good chocolate minus the terrible service: Casa De Chocolates - Berkeley Dandelion Chocolate - San Francisco Chocolatier - Berkeley The Chocolate Dragon Bittersweet- Oakland

    Hours are better than other nearby stores, parking is tough to find but help inside was great and so are the candies. Hours are much more generous than other nearby stores. I don't want to quote them as sometimes things change - but this place as I write this is open at least a couple hours longer then neighboring stores. Parking is limited to street parking only.... and in a popular neighborhood like this one you might need a little luck. I was able to park in front of Zacharies and was lucky... (a good place to try out btw). Help inside was great. Very fast and speedy. A sample of my choice which I've never been asked before. Wrapped lightening fast for a gift. Candies are great. I remember when these were less expensive but everything has doubled in price the past 5 - 10 years. Still a steal compared to Godiva - I think its still half price - and I enjoy the candy more. Only one type of candy I asked for was sold out - but I was recommended a type that was very similar in flavor. The help here really was expert. One recommendation I have for the store to increase sales would be a glow in the dark open sign. I think this is really an important investment. If the store has no people inside it can look closed even during open hours. It gets dark so early these days and I'm sure many walk right past assuming the store is closed.

I would go to corner candy store for each school to buy my favorite candies through my formative years. Candies were also part of celebrations in the Mission involving a piñata .As an adult you will see me at See's when I get a sweet tooth craving. There is a place which sells chocolate from Switzerland and the Philippines and if you are sour because it's Monday or just everyday of the week in SF you should visit a place called Giddy. On Spring stroll in my old school stomping grounds I walked on Noe street and landed on Market at Giddy. Inside it's a candy store with lots of variety of gummies and licorice along with some international chocolate from the Ecuador and the Philippines. What you will also find a lot of varieties of candies which are very sour like some in SF. You will find lots of sour fizzy chewy cherries along sour mango belts. You will also find the classic sour cherry balls and berry sour foamy and sour strawberry and lemon butterflies along with a favorite from Sweden known as Bubs which is a sour strawberry and lemons skull gummy. Giddy is a good place to get sweet or sour. Sour is how you "felt" on a Monday when the chocolate in your pocket on a hot day "melt" and the best way in the past how it was "dealt" is go grab for a sour "gummy cherry belt" On Market street there lots of places for foods I have "eaten"some want on a cheat day a place for some "cheatin" at a place with chocolate from Ecuador , Philippines and Switzerland which is a bit "sweeten" and some like it sour like the strawberry and lemon skulls called Bubs which are from "Sweden"

    Totally stumbled upon this place by accident, and what a serendipitous find! We saw that they had…read morethe viral Dubai chocolates (this was back in October). For those who don't know what the Dubai chocolates are, they are milk chocolates filled with shredded phyllo dough and pistachio cream. My first impression was whether or not I had walked into an art gallery or a confectionary shop. Uh...turns out both! According to their website, the owner and her partner were originally artists prior to becoming chocolatiers. This place just screams creativity and their chocolates are ethically-sourced and almost too pretty to eat. They even have a backroom gallery to showcase local artists' confectionary-inspired works. We couldn't find the Dubai chocolates, but one of the employees approached us and asked if we needed any assistance. Turns out they were in the back and they had just received a shipment! The Dubai chocolates were nutty, crunchy, flaky, and velvety all in one! Pricey, but worth trying. Also, might I just take a moment to say I absolutely adore the shop's name! It almost looks like "XO Chocolate" as in kisses and hugs, bu also reminded me of the language of the ancient Latin American civilizations and - fun fact - Xocolatl (you see the play on words?) means chocolate (literally means "bitter water") back when they would mix purely cocoa and water as a drink. If I'm not mistaken, this business is Latina-owned, so perhaps that was intention? So clever and, either way, kudos to them!
