I mean who doesn't love See's Candy! I was visiting the area for a funeral and was actually looking for a certain coffee shop when I stumbled upon this store. Let me tell you, I'm so glad I popped in and gathered my favorite chocolates because I got to meet the sweetest employee there. Her name was Maggie and she was so friendly and warm and truly seemed to care about me! Nowadays it seems there's less and less personal attention and genuine willingness to make a customer happy. Maggie made me so happy. She literally made my day!! When you stop in (cuz I totally recommend you go to THIS store!) Tell Maggie she made a yelpers day!! read more

Today I went into this location and spent $54.50. I had a conversation with the associate Lorelei about the Happy Habits reward card and when I got home I realized she didn't put one in my bag. I called the store and spoke with Lorelei about what happened. She didn't offer to mail me a card. Instead she said I had to come back to the store and get one. That was her only solution. I have to waste my time and gas because of her mistake? I called back and asked to speak to a manager and the gal that answered the phone handed me off to Lorelei! Lorelei didn't identify herself by name or title and simply said "hello?" I didn't bother going further with this ridiculousness. Lastly, I wasn't offered a sample piece of candy. I had to ask for one as Lorelei was trying to leave the register after the transaction. read more

I grew up going to this See's location, and I'm pretty sure it's been here for well over 25 years. Walking in always feels a little nostalgic with the same classic black-and-white look, and of course, the smell of chocolate that instantly makes your day better. Dark Walnut Squares are delicious as are the Almond Royals. See's is easily one of the best chocolatiers in the world. If you're in the area, stop by! It's a little slice of Pleasant Hill history wrapped in chocolate. read more

Claudia immediately greeted us and offered us a piece of chocolate. She asked us if we needed any help, and was so pleasant. I'll definitely return because of Claudia's great service! read more

Walked in on what started as a terrible Monday (looking for a sweet reward after dealing with the public) and ended as an AMAZING one once I left, all thanks to Bernadette! I perused the shelves for a minute (noticing a doggy toy for $6 with a 1lb or more purchase!) while We talked about life & people, and how happy chocolate made us (especially when people aren't being sweet) it was a total vibe. I picked out my favs, along with a few recommendations from Bernadette & got my puppy his "Doggie-ettes" toy. I would say I'd return but B & I agreed that I was never here.... read more

I grew up with See's Candies. When my mom worked in SF, there was a location across the street from her office. I got the best treats for every occasion from See's. This shop is the one we've shopped at for years and that will never change. The candy is so good and the staff here so nice and helpful. They always have such great offerings for all occasions. I bought chocolate Seegars to pass out when our son was born. My mom buys chocolate Santa's and turkeys to place on our dinner table for Christmas and thanksgiving dinner. We all have our favorites that we gift each other for various occasions. See's Candy has never changed in quality, all these years. So glad they are still around. read more

Ok I love Sees. Who doesn't. Two people in the store. Me and another lady. Lady in front of me got her free sample. While I wasn't offered one when I spent more money. First time ever that I've never gotten a sample. I felt kind of offended in a little kid kind of way. read more

Came right as the store opened and was greeted warmly by the woman working the store. She was kind, all smiles, and offered samples to me and the other guest who entered. See's Candies make the best grab and go gifts and I often stop at their store before heading to a client meeting or friend's party if I want a little something extra. Always a favorite and very affordable for the packaging and quality. read more

My brother and I were there yesterday on Friday around noon and the girl behind the counter at the shop who helped us was so wonderful and friendly. We got the one-pound box and we were a little indecisive with what we wanted, but she was really patient with us. She really accommodated us by letting us take our time making decisions on which chocolate candies that we wanted. And there was so much to choose from. I loved the variety that they offered. And, at the end, she gave us complementary chocolate candy each, and I opted for the Bordeaux which was absolutely delicious. The price for the one-pound box was $32 as of June of 2024. While it might be a little pricey for me, the chocolate candies were just delectable. I especially enjoyed one of their new additions: the birthday cake chocolate, which tasted just like a delicious birthday cake pop. The chocolate shop itself was very clean, neat, and organized. The shop was fully air-conditioned against the hot summer outside, so it felt really nice to be inside. It was a nice shopping experience through and through. Parking was extremely easy as well. On a Friday at noon, we were probably the only car at the parking lot. read more

2nd day that the retail store will only accept cash no credit cards or gift cards no sign on the front door. How can a large corporation have their computer systems down for 2 days with no ETA when it will be resolved. Such poor customer service read more

See's Candies: a staple in thé community for 50 years and delicious for just as long. It's ok to ask for a sample, but it's even better when you buy a few of your favorites. Opted for a scoop of bridge mix, milk chocolate peanut butter patte and a few other cups of my favorites. Customers service is just as good as thé candy! I give this place 4 yumms up and a I'll be back!!! read more

They had all the flavors in abundance. Placed an order late at night, it was ready for me by the time I woke up. Smooth sailing.

CHOCOLATE! Who doesn't love some good ol See's candy This location has an older looking exterior and it makes it feel super cool like walking into some throwback nostalgia shop. The employees were very nice! Offered us free samples immediately and were very patient as we examined our choices. We ended up purchasing a half pound of that yum yum. The worker who rung us up threw in a coupon for our next our purchase. That's how they're gunna keep us coming back lol. Cause we definitely will! read more

After a long stressful day, I went in and got myself a little treat. The brown haired, young lady at the counter (who put her pens in her bow) was so incredibly kind that it turned my day around. She said, "My job is to make people happy" and offered a couple samples. Easy to talk to, her service and kindness reminded me maybe quality customer service isn't dying out. Thank you! read more

The service at this See's candy store is impeccable. Bernadette remembered my husband from the last time he came in and just greeted him like he was an old friend. Janus also welcomed us with a warm hello. They asked us which sample we would like instead of just giving us some random ones we wouldn't like. We always like creating our own box and Bernadette was so patient with us as we made our selections. She even encouraged us to try some different ones we would like based off our preferences and they were perfect! Bernadette and Janus are just the nicest ladies who remind me of those sweet grandmas with that warm and loving hospitality. Rae is pretty cool too! read more

I was having a grouchy day and had some time to kill so decided to grab some chocolate. I was greeted by Bernadette and she was so kind and friendly. I was impressed that she was able to help me find a chocolate that I had been looking for just by my description. See's treats are always good but the experience made this trip even more enjoyable. read more

Normally I go to the location on Monument because this location is always busy! Well, that was certainly the case 5 days before Christmas but it was on my way, it was my grandmas Christmas present and I can wait if needed. There were 2 long lines because only 2 people were working. I felt so bad for them! They needed more help and it didn't hep when a grumpy old man complained about them and the line. All this aside the employees were amazing! I would have been so frantic but the customer service didn't waiver! read more

It was my birthday and wanted to sample some chocolate for me and my parents then all of a sudden old lady gets mad and says " If we did that we would not make profit". Sees candy is a very good chocolate company. Over all this experience was completely unnecessary and disrespectful. read more

It's as if walking into See's Candies is like stepping back in time. There's no need to interfere with a thing that has stood the test of time for more than a century! A pound of the Dark Nougat is all I can eat. When I told the sales assistant that it was just for me and that I was fine with putting them in a bag, he went above and beyond to put them in a box. It was her preference because she didn't want the items to be damaged in transit. It was a pleasure doing business with you! The fact that we were the day's first clients made the experience all the more rewarding. A handful of chocolate samples are also provided by the manager (I think) while you're waiting. The employees were friendly and willing to help, and they had a wealth of knowledge. The employees were overjoyed and grateful. The things I got for the summer are fantastic. But doctor said no more sugar, ehh... read more

Wonderful chocolates and wonderful staff! I was greeted upon walking in and was offered help to find something that would fit was I was looking for. I don't recall the name of the gentleman who helped me out, but he was very kind and explained my options and gave me a free sample. It was one of the interactions that makes you feel happy for the rest of your day! I got some chocolates for my grandpa - and he shared them with the entire family and we all loved the chocolates. Highly recommend frequenting this business! read more

I usually love visiting See's because of their chocolates and the customer service. However, this location is quite awful. The cashier lady was friendly and cheery, but the older woman picking the chocolates gave me attitude when I asked for a certain chocolate that was no longer in stock because it's after Christmas. Thinking that it was all in my head, I asked my bf about it later and he said she did give me attitude. I guess I'm not coming back here again. It's ok, I need to lose a few pounds anyways. read more

See's is the best candy the side of the Atlantic coast. The staff is always so friendly.

The staff was very friendly and we got to try a few chocolates. Everything was really good and fresh.

Bernadette who helped me today was beyond lovely and wrapped the chocolates so nicely! Thank you!

This is my second time coming into the store and was welcomed like I was family from beginning to end. The service was amazing and was happy to leave with my Bordeaux and Scotchmallow with the help of Layla who is customer service exceeds Met standards and will be definitely coming back just because of her. Thank you for having associates like this.!! read more

Bernadette is a queen!!! Amazing service and a better attitude. Gave me a delicious sample while I waited and helped the line move quickly.

Are usually shop at the location on monument but decided to give this store a try. I had such a great experience and Layla who had excellent customer service. She was very welcoming. I buy these candies for parties. And other events, and sometimes just to treat myself and my family. I only came in to buy a few candies but ended up leaving with the whole box plus more Layla was so sweet. It made me want to spend my money. Thanks again. read more

I ordered custom boxes online- I was able to pick out the exact candies that my family members love in custom percentages. I received an email letting me know when my order was ready. When I came to pick it up, there was a huge line. I was able to bypass the line and pick up my order with no wait or hassle. I will tell you that this did not work as smoothly last year, but it seems that they have worked out the kinks. The workers have to be pretty stressed out with the amount of customers coming in, but they had a smile for everyone and seem to be handling it quite nicely. read more

Bad customer service Victoria. Please consider taking a basic customer service skills course. I generally visit concord sees every holiday and generally spend over $100. Most days ive received nothing but kindness. Staff usually suggest other options, sizes and always offer a free sample. Not Victoria. Usually they automatically give me a coupon / discount. Not today. I had to ask for it. Usually they always throw in a few extra samples. Again, not today. Perhaps Victoria was having a bad day. How on earth can a See's employee ever have a bad day? You have best job in the world! read more

See's Candy is my sweet tooth heaven. Always a great visit when coming here every worker I have encountered is always super friendly and makes every visit very delightful, I love that they always give me so many different samples to try. My favorite chocolate sweet store to visit to pick up any treats for myself friends or family especially for the holidays makes perfect gifts. No other chocolate comes close to the amazing flavors and the rich chocolates to choose from that sees candies has to offer. read more

Just stopped in here today for a custom 1 pound box of candy for my daughter's birthday! The place is very clean and organized with Covid precautions in place. Service was quick and friendly. I was able to get the new pieces also of vanilla with chocolate chips and sea salt Carmel. They definitely have no competition in the chocolate category as they are the BEST! read more

Everything about this shop is so pretty. I mean c'mon. It's filled with sweets. There is chocolate everywhere. It's heaven on earth. Really. Service was impeccable. The woman who helped me with all my concerns and need was a bright light in my day. She had a great voice, a beautiful smile, and extensive knowledge of all the different kinds of candy and the history of See's Candies itself. I finally used my 1 lb worth of chocolate gift certificate. I had gotten it about six years ago and haven't used it until this very day. I was worried that it wouldn't be taken but the lovely lady assuaged my fears by pointing out that it's worth $19 and it never expires. I snatched a box filled with See's lollipops (cafe, butterscotch, vanilla, and chocolate flavors) that cost $18.30. The lady then suggested I used the full potential of my gift certificate and grab a solo chocolate. I chose the marzipan. I even got a free sample of one of the truffles too. Parking is super easy. It's never too busy hear. The line will be about three or two people in front of you and that's it. 5/5 read more

I have shopped this store for years. The last couple have been on-line pickup orders. I placed an order for valentines day never received a notice to pick up so I called. After searching she found my order and said we are out. I said thanks for the call to let me know and she said the fact I didnt get a pickup notice was the same as their cancellation. I let her know they took my money and she said it would be returned. I had to open a claim with PayPal. I will never use this store again. read more

Mmmm i was iffy about this location your much better off going to Walnut Creek or monument location which isn't far but this was on my way home. I walk in and the box of chocolate I needed I couldn't find it, nothing was stocked. I asked one of the employees for the specific one I needed she was kind enough to go to the back and get it but towards the end when I couldn't decide which one I wanted she got frustrated , because a line was forming and I felt rushed to make a choice. -.- if I do go and exchange them I'll go to another location I don't wanna be rushed and anyone getting mad or irritated read more

I stopped by here Sunday morning to pick up my girlfriend's favorite candy. It was packed right at 10 when it opened, with a line out the door (not to mention it was raining). Fortunately they practiced physical distancing in the line and limited capacity inside the store to just a few customers at a time. It took a while, but definitely worth it to stay safe and put a smile on my girl's face! read more

Now that Blondie's Pizza and Tower Records have moved on, this part of Pleasant Hill across the street from Sun Valley Mall is a little lonely. Yet as Valentine's Day approaches, there will again be a long line of folks buying chocolates for their sweetie. As for me, I'll order flowers from Florali and take Gayle out for a nice dinner sometime over the previous weekend. And besides, we're still recovering from all the See's boxes we received over the Holidays. See's Candies was founded by Charles See, his wife Florence, and his mother Mary See in Los Angeles in 1921. The Company HQ is in South San Francisco and has its kitchens there and in LA. See's is also a subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Corporation. And with Hershey's recent acquisitions of Scharffen Berger, Joseph Schmit, and Dagoba, finding good non-Corporate chocolate can sometimes be a challenge. But whether it's the See's store in El Cerrito Plaza or this one, I like to stop in occasionally for some samples and to buy little treats for my sweets. And as with life, you never know what kind of chocolate box your going to get from me via See's. read more
