I love sees and wanted to get a few of my faves to take to the movie Asked for two milk chocolate molasses chips and two dark chocolate molasses chips. That's exactly what i got! 4 total! Each cup should be THREE molasses chips each. So disappointed. read more

This is your typical Sees candies store. Friendly staff, and decent chocolate. Used sees candies $50 gift card purchased from Costco thinking one gift card of $25 would pay for a one pound of chocolate. But the box came out to $41. But all in all it was an okay experience at this location. read more

Everything! Their chocolate foiled eggs for Easter are creamy chocolate! And I enjoy their truffles!

Service was very good and that candy was delicious! Prices are a bit expensive but for the area that's what you would expect. Would recommend trying. read more

Justin was so helpful and sweet! We always come here to pick up chocolates when we're at UTC.

I've been to this location a few times now and service here has been wonderful each time. No surprise to anyone who knows me, See's Candy is my favorite. This is a nice smaller store but has all the goodies. It's clean and easy to access. Can't ask for much more for a chocolate lover. read more

This was my first time at See's candies! I was wanted to pick up some chocolates as gifts for my nephews! The store smells incredible (like chocolate)! And they give free samples at checkout! They had lots of holiday gift selections and I'm sure they'll taste great! The guy working the front counter was very nice too! I'll be back! read more

See's Candies - Dark chocolate - Candy Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

Nice staff. Fast service. Chocolate was pricy, but I guess that's the way the economy is headed. My two nieces got samples along with myself which was nice. I'm not sure if that's a usual thing, but I did drop 45 dollars here in chocolates lol they accept Apple Pay from my iPhone. I appreciate that when companies are trendy with payment methods read more

This is my favorite location of sees candy's. It's great to come in here after dinner and get about six pieces of their St. Patrick's Day chocolate. Right now there are no lines. read more

Fine selection of fine candies! Vanilla latte lollipops are such a cool concept that tastes so well

Stopped by today as my family wanted me to bring them Toffee-ettes for the holidays. The location is by the ice rink/food court and Brazilia. Nicely organized and stocked. See's Candies has gotten stingy with their free sample in the past. I figured it's because of all the moochers who come in and never by (hey, I've been one of 'em). I walked in today and was looking around when a nice guy came up to me and offered me a pumpkin chocolate sample. That was really nice of him. Then he pointed me to the candy I was looking for. Checking out was easy. They don't have the chip reader for credit cards. I just thought the price for the two tins of Toffee-ettes was REALLY expensive at 19.90/each. I can't remember if I've seen Costco selling discounted See's gift cards? Anyhow, this is a nice location that I'd revisit if I needed See's Candy. read more

Came back again today and Caitlin once again helped me. The service there is top notch and the process of choosing chocolates from the bar couldn't be better. This time I got their Irish Buttercream which is a seasonal flavor and it was really good! I also got their Vanilla buttercream (my favorite) Butterscotch Chocolate buttercream feeling Dark Bordeaux Will be coming back again! read more

Chocolate! This place is perfect for any sugar fix or occasion. I always end up with a box and of course a sample. Located just off the back parking lot, it's a great spot to visit before shopping. The associates are always friendly and willing to provide samples. During the holidays it gets packed so be sure to visit in the early morning. read more

See's Candies - Life is like a box of chocolates - Candy Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

I haven't been into a See's candies since I was a child and on a random Saturday date night with my husband we decided to get some candies. Ronald, was our candies associate at the UTC location and man did he make our evening super special. Every candy store should have a Ronald. He was super happy, pleasant, informative and listened to what our candy hearts were craving. Thank you Ronald we will be "see'sing" you soon for your teachers special. read more

Ronald C. is exceptional! He was so friendly and knowledgable about the different varieties of chocolate. He helped me pick out chocolates for my friend's birthday and was also very fast when I paid for my order. The store has delicious chocolates and is conveniently located just outside of the UTC food court. Highly recommend this store! read more

Can't keep away from these chocolates! I'm sure they are a large part of the reason my clothes have "shrunk!" We are fans of dark chocolate and theirs is delicious. We love being able to create a box of our favorites. Yum! read more

I stopped in to buy treats for Valentine's Day. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by 2 smiling and friendly employees. I was offered 2 samples and assistance. As I was looking around, I noticed other customers shopping for their sweet tooth. What really discerned me is the amount of crap these employees put up with. I truly felt sorry for these kids for putting up with the condescending attitudes some people come in with. Pretty sad. I picked out my $20 worth of treats and was rung up quickly. In light of what I had just witnessed, I made conversation with the employee to bring some humor to her day. You can't go wrong with See's candy, especially during LOVE season! Note: Located by the food court/ice rink. Grab a sweet treat after getting a quick meal, or at least get a sample! read more

I love you See's, but you are dang-e-rous! So I stopped by a little while ago and decided to treat myself to my favorite candy here at See's: California Brittle. Me loves. But that summamab*tch chipped my front tooth when I bit down on it over enthusiastically. Feck! I heard a crack and was horrified to see my Jack Sparrow smile in the reflection of my compact. #%!&^@&!&#@!! In all fairness, I had originally chipped my front tooth trying to run after the ice cream man at the ripe old age of 8, fell on the cement face first and lo and behold, a chunk of my front tooth broke off. Graceful, I know. This would be the start of many clumsy moments yet to come. Like the time I fell off my bunkbed and had to get stiches behind my left ear. Or the time I flew out of a swingset because I swore I could jump the farthest and sprained my ankle. Or the time...oops, sorry going off on a tangent again. Anyway, my bff at the time and I went searching all around looking for the missing chip as if we could glue it back on and salvage my smile. Yea, not so much. Mom had a fit when she got home from work and dragged me to our dentist soon after. Worst day ever! Back to the present: luckily, I got my tooth fixed immediately after the unfortunate candy incident, got scolded by my dentist for eating too many sweets and was given a goodie bag with a mini-Listerine bottle, floss and toothpaste for the road. Aaah, memories :) read more

In search of my Mom's favorite milk chocolate bordeaux candies, I popped in to See's on my lunchbreak and the line was long. Chocoholics of all stripes were lined up and antsy for their pre-purchase free samples. The line was all women, and they were crabby in desperate need of their chocolate fix. Some of them reminded me of the junkies I once spotted twitching this way and that, impatiently waiting for their turn to get clean syringes at the needle exchange clinic. Cheerfully, the candy mavens worked the line, handing out free white chocolate strawberry truffles to samples (delicious by the way) and a few folks turned them down, complaining, "I don't want THAT! Can't you give me something better?!" Even with the bullish behavior, customers were politely offered their choice of confectionery. While I was being rung up for my purchase, a well-dressed girl just a few years younger than me strided up to the counter and proclaimed, "I don't want to buy anything. I just want MY free sample." To my chagrin, the busy employee reached under the counter, and politely handed her a strawberry truffle and before she could finish explaining what it was, the girl just grabbed it out of her hand and left. Not even a thank you. It's one thing to take a piece of a cookie in the sample tray at the bakery section in the grocery store - that's what they are there for. It's a completely different matter to demand a free sample from an employee taking care of a big line of people and not buy anything. Seriously. See's Candies start at 75 cents a piece. You could walk around UTC mall and collect that much change off the ground in a heartbeat. That kind of rude behavior and low level of cheap-a$$ness really bothers me. I honestly don't know how the employees can handle it. Maybe they self-medicate with a chocolate sample for themselves every now and again? All I can say is I love See's Candies and the employees are exceptional. They definitely get a gold star in my book. read more

Attention to all chocolate fanatics, they are always hiring. I don't know what's the reason for it, and honestly I don't want to know. At least I know if something happen, I can get a "tasty" opportunity to work for my favorite world's creation - chocolate. What an awesome place to share amazing treats, make somebody else happier and indulge yourself while tasting and offering various samples. I love the store: I like their always fresh and tasty products and the atmosphere makes me to come always back. read more

See's Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

My 666th review; time to make it about something sinful... sinfully delicious! Yesterday was National Lollipop Day, and See's Candies celebrates by giving each customer a free lollipop, depending on the location (here, I got Chocolate, while my girlfriend in Diamond Bar got Chocolate Caramel). Since I was in the store, I figured I'd indulge my sweet tooth by picking up a couple more lollipops at .80 a pop (the selections here are Vanilla, Chocolate, Butterscotch, Cafe Latte, and Root Beer) and a Chewy Walnut and Dark Chocolate Bar for $1.45). While I thought that See's may have raised their prices, the quality of the product shows. That chocolate bar definitely was a great dessert after my lunch in UTC's food court, and I look forward to my lollipops this week... hell, I may have to get a few more to tide me over during Comic-Con! As a couple of my fellow Yelpers have noticed, the customers here can be a bit rude and condescending (and as I mentally noted, they too were women). Guess living in La Jolla/University City can do that to a person's mentality; the employees here really have the patience of Job to deal with these b... I mean, people. Definitely worth coming out of my way to get some treats! read more

Long line, crowded, and slow workers. The lady gave me a sample of caramel and I bit into it and it was some pink gooey thing not caramel - I'm disappointed. read more

Stopped into See's to buy a couple of 1 lb chocolate boxes. My mom and I were fairly slow in choosing each individual chocolate for all three of the boxes, but every step of the way Ronald displayed excellent customer service, an upbeat demeanor and overall positive attitude. He offered us milk or dark samples upon entry and provided excellent and tailored suggestions for our boxes to suit our tastes. read more

Excellent service, huge selection and delicious chocolate. I bought a huge box of candies since I'm from out of town. So good. I'll be back or order online. read more

I was visiting San Diego a few weekends ago and visited this See's location to buy a box of candy for the friend who I was staying with. Sees makes excellent candy, and the staffers working here (and every other location I've ever been to) are among the friendliest and most helpful that you'll find in find in any retail store. I left with a sample in my hand, a box of candy for my friend, and a big smile on my face - highly recommended! read more

My lunch buddy wanted to grab something sweet for the road so we made an unexpected pit stop here after lunch at Tender Greens (http://www.yelp.com/biz/tender-greens-san-diego-2#hrid:B_A_RN9obeUb763z25qcxg). It actually worked out perfectly because I'm slowly filling up Easter baskets for the nieces and was able to pick up lots of goodies for those two love bugs. We were given samples to try which I immediately handed over to my friend. He's training for a marathon and a 70.3 Ironman so he can afford the extra calories. They had a great selection of Easter treats and I was able to pick out 3 items for each of them which I'm sure they'll love. --Sour Bunnies: http://www.sees.com/prod.cfm/pops_and_candies/Sour_Bunnies --Milk Chocolate Eggs: http://www.sees.com/prod.cfm/pops_and_candies/Milk_Chocolate_Eggs --Large Chocolate Bunnies: http://www.sees.com/prod.cfm/Milk_Chocolates/Large_Milk_Chocolate_Rabbit When I got into my car, I was actually bummed I didn't think to get one of their butterscotch lollipops - unfortunately, I've been craving for one ever since...urghh. Even with all the other high end sweet chocolate shops that have popped up over the years, See's will always have a special place in my heart. It's a brand I grew up with and have enjoyed for many, many years. Keep up the great work, See's! read more

I went nuts during the holidays and bought quite a bit of butterscotch candies and 4lbs. of candies, so here I am, sitting at my desk, at work, on a Monday, back from the holidays and I'm miserable. What's the one thing holding me over and cheering me up? Candy! See's candies! Thanks so much for making my work week a little bit easier to adjust into. So much for losing weight for the new year...oops. read more

I've always loved See's Candies chocolates ever since I was a young kid because whenever my parents received a box of See's, my sister and I had a kick out of competing with each other on who blindly picked the "better" chocolate from the assortment of chocolates. However, the surprising thing is that I had never stepped into a See's Candies store until I got to college because I usually opt for the cheaper variety to fix my chocolate cravings. Well, the time came for me to discover this place when my parents urged me to buy a few boxes for my summer internship employers and colleagues. At first I was considering Godiva's but my friend said, "Why not See's? You get more for your money and it tastes just good." So, bearing that in mind along with my childhood memories, I set out to UTC to find this little store. I did my research beforehand and knew which boxes I wanted to buy (the classic Chocolate and Variety, the pretty Gold Fancy, and two boxes of Truffles), but my friend and I still had fun checking out their other things. Although we didn't buy any individual chocolates for ourselves, one employee was going around the store giving everyone free chocolate samples (mine was a dark chocolate caramel with walnuts in it...yum!). It was a nice surprise! Maybe next time, I will come here just to treat myself with the drool-worthy looking chocolates all lined up in their glass case! My employers were very pleased with my gifts and said they looked "very high-classed." All in all, friendly employees, amazing chocolates, and reasonable prices. What more could you ask for? read more

I wish they changed the map to all the directories since the place for See's moved all the way across the mall! I don't mind walking but if I didn't ask security to help me spot it I would of been just lost & said forget it. Once I got in, all the staff was sweet & got the gift box of chocolates in n out. So please change the directory! read more

See's Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

This location in particular is very clean and the service works quickly. I love the iconic black and white tile and cute uniforms the girls wear. The toffee lollipops are my favorite. Ever since I was a little kid I would come to See's with my mother and she would get me the lollipop or the molasses chips. Yum! I will never get sick of those! Their assorted candy boxes are a good gift to people around the holidays. Nobody in their right mind would dislike a gift of chocolate :) read more

See's now offers a greater choice in sugar free candy. Available is light or dark chocolate bars, chocolate coated almonds, peanut brittle and more, which all is full of flavor. read more

See's Candies - Storefront of See's Candies at Westfield's UTC Mall in the Golden Triangle, La Jolla / San Diego. - Candy Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

I love See's butterscotch squares. My favorite thing to do at See's is to go in, buy a lollipop of something small, and when they offer me a sample of whatever, I request a butterscotch square. Sometimes I prepare some lie like "Oh, I'm allergic to (insert filling here: marzipan, caramel, lemon, peanuts, etc.), can I get a butterscotch square instead? My fiancee knew I loved the butterscotch square so much, that for our first Valentine's day he got me a box of...caramel squares. For our second Valentine's, he got me a box of...butterscotch chews. But, not accepting defeat, he got me the right kind for our third Valentine's. Yum. It's always clean and the people are nice (and some people would be downright unhappy wearing their sensibly retro uniforms). See's candies delights people as gifts, and Costco sells 1 pound gift certificates for a discounted price. read more

I've always been a fan of See's candies. They have a wide selection of chocolates and they always have new items throughout the year. One of my favorite chocolates of all time are the walnut squares which consists of caramel, walnuts & chocolate. I just don't know why they call them walnut "squares" when they are actually rectangles. :p They usually hand each customer a random chocolate to sample but I really like that you are able to sample a chocolate of your choice. :) It's typically $17.50 for 1lb of chocolates of your choice depending on the weight. I prefer to get the two, 1lb certificates from Costco for $27.99 which comes down to $14 for 1lb, saving you $3.50 each pound. The only thing I dont like is that once in awhile (esp. during holidays) there's a really long line with only 2 people working. read more

I walked in to get some candy and was abruptly greeted by a lady with red hair (wasn't there long enough to catch her name). Started to browse the candy and the employee began to rush even though I was the only person in the shop AND I didn't get to see the chocolates. She then rudely asked why I didn't already know what I wanted. I was taken back and frustrated and I left without any candy and went to Sprinkles cupcake instead. Overall, dissapointed by the employee. read more

I have to say, the Sees Marzipan chocolate is one of my favorite Marzipan chocolate's of all time. I don't think I have tasted a better Marzipan chocolate anywhere or from any of the famous brands... I like the rum nougat, some of the walnuts...and the scotch mallow as well!! But how is it that the sample always tastes kinda crappy? Oh, and I hate having to sign for a $4 credit card charge - get with the program - under $25 or $50 there should be no need to sign - makes the lines that much longer! read more
