    Very disappointed with the lady who was currently working at the Sweet Factory store. Right away…read morewhen I walked in, she was glaring at me. I proceeded to tell her about my last purchase of the mini jaw breakers, which are supposed to have a somewhat chewy texture. I explained to her that the last time I bought them there, they were stale and before I could finish, she cut me off and was like "I can't give you samples!" So then I continued to question her, "so if I buy these candies and they are stale again, what happens?" And she responded very rudely, "I can't do anything about that," while the whole time she was giving me a dirty look and acting like I was making some crazy request. So even though I spent more than $40 for a big bag of candy and had to throw away literally half of the bag away (so throwing away $20), you mean to tell me you will allow me to make another blind purchase and I will just have to accept that they are stale?! No freaking way! You lost my business! Sweet Factory, you need to work on your employees' customer service. The lady was very rude and I didn't take the time to take her name because I was so disgusted with how she looked at me and dismissed me right away. She definitely could've handled that much more professionally and with a little more compassion for the customer. Sweet Factory, if you don't train up your staff to be more courteous, I'm sure you will lose more business! I will not be returning!

    They moved from the 2nd floor and are now located on the 1st floor of JCPENNY side of North County…read moreMall. They have a pretty wide selection of candy, plushes and novelties. The cashier was very nice, offered assistants and was very welcoming. The prices are a bit steep, a regular mixed bag of candy is $13.96/Ib and if you want a mix of sugar free candy it's $15.56/lb. They also offer 50% off regular price pounds for holiday sweets. So if I'm craving sweets and am in the area, I make sure to buy the candy's I can rarely find anywhere else in regular stores or little candy toppers for when I make cupcakes! Also can't resist those chocolate covered gummy bears and sour anything, sooo goooood!

    So I was eating lunch at UTC, and I saw that they had the Sanrio characters! Totally reminded me of…read moremy childhood, so guess what? I ended up getting like five of the cubes cuz they were just too cute. I got the Little Twin Stars, Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi! I just liked the packaging. After I eat all the goodies inside, I will be repurposing the cubes! Since I spent over $50, ended up getting the 20% off. Usually, I try to wait till they mark them down to grab some of these goodies, but I couldn't resist! These are always a nice gift for whatever occasion!

When we passed by, there was a sign indicating that staff was on break so we decided to come back after lunch. When we came back there was a lady behind the counter and she was assisting other customers. Yes, this candy is expensive but holy cow are they delicious. My husband like the gummy candies, and the one we picked out were very flavorful. I wish there were samples so that you're able to try them, but they do sell sample packets (4 for $10). Each sample packet some with about 10 pieces of small candies. My daughter chose the sea salt caramels and when I tried them they were delicious. The chocolate was not too overbearing and had a small hint of sea salt. The caramel was the right amount of stickiness and didn't stick too much to your teeth. Packaging is beautiful and a nice gift for those who appreciate sweets!

    Am I a butter connoisseur? Absolutely, not. However, I do know that if you're interested in trying…read moreFrench butter, this is the place to go. I should have purchased the Beurre d'Isigny butter here rather than going to Paris, buying Bordier butter vacuum sealed butter, having the hotel freeze it, then paying extra for check in luggage since it's a colder storage area. Cuisenery didn't have Bordier butter but when I was doing my online research, I found that both of the brands I mentioned are pretty good. I actually liked my Beurre d'Isigny butter better, but that's more likely due to it being unsalted versus the salted version I bought in Paris (apparently, you MUST use salted on your bread per the Parisians). They also had a bunch of other frozen foods and condiments, including frozen escargot in puff pastry, frozen baguettes, mustards, and jams.

From cheeses, meats, breads, a pretty extensive frozen section, there are so many treasures you can find here. I came here with my cousin who was looking for some specific food items, side, and purchase anything myself on this trip. Partly because I was gonna be out all day and didn't want the food sitting in my car. But definitely if I plan better next time I'm in San Diego I wanna buy stuff to bring back home. Just a gem of a find. There also seems to be plenty of parking in the area as we parked pretty much right out front.
