Walked and was greeted by both cashiers. I was told when I was ready let them know. I was also told if you need help let them know. My daughter got her items and doesn't like chocolate. She didn't know what free sample to get me! I went up to help her. Chocolate with nuts and Carmel yum. I went up and my cashier gave me two samples! I asked for the apricot delight! Wow! Very tasty. The inside of the building was very clean. The floor actually was sparkling from wax. The counter tops were shiny as well. A very enjoyable experience. read more

There are less and less See's candies stores now so it's nice to have one nearby. They are especially good if you like chocolate candies with nuts or caramel, but if you're looking for just plain chocolates or single origin chocolates, this is not the place. They do make nice boxes for gifting. Perhaps one day they'll begin to make changes to include plain chocolates and include single origin chocolates to cast a wider net of consumers. read more

We love to stop by for a little treat at See's whe we're at South Shore. Mievel was an absolute gem, making us feel so special and welcome. (I am so sorry if I misspelled your name!!!) Sees often does a fantastic job of hiring people who are wonderful at hospitality and customer service. Keep up the sweet treats and lovely service! Thank you! read more

See's Candies - Sweet treats (dark chocolate raspberry creams, cashew brittle, milk chocolate mocha, milk chocolate cherry cream cordial)! - Candy Stores Near Me - Alameda, California

I've been buying See's candies for decades, and this location has the best customer service

We came here for some delicious chocolates. It was Saturday afternoon so the shop was busy. The line moved quickly, the store staff was helpful and moved the line quickly. They offered us a sample, (one that had been left on the counter) from a previous customer. So I requested something else and the clerk gave me a fresh sample. I had 6 cups of candy plus a piece of fudge, and 4 caramel lollipop's. Yum! read more

@ South Shore Center 2244 S Shore Ctr Alameda, CA 94501 High quality products never go out of style, and the old fashioned quality of See's Candy is still the same. What changes are the prices and the level of customer service at the store. Back in 2008, a 1-pound box of candy cost about $15, now its over $30. I was at the Alameda shop on a Saturday afternoon. I picked out a box of candy and got in line. The young man behind the counter was barking at customers in a loud voice like an Army Drill Sergeant. He spoke like a robot. He spoke to every customer the same way. You need to bring back the nice and polite lady cashiers. This guy doesn't belong in customer service. Thanks for the free candy (sample). read more

Extremely kind employees, helped find the perfect gift! Really convenient location! Will come again!

Walking into See's brung back so many childhood memories. The ambiance is amazing and always so clean with the air filled up with the delicious smell of chocolate. I was greeted by Mevel. Her energy was on point and very helpful and took me out of my shell with some new chocolates that I will be getting from now on. We laughed and the experience was top tier. Let's not forget about Chris. He was really nice and made amazing suggestions as well and combined two chocolates that were out of this world. Thank you to both of these amazing people. So go and run to See's Candies and get you some goodies. read more

My husband and I love to order a custom box and split it 50/50. You can get about 26 pieces so 13 each. My absolute favorite is Milk Rum Nougat. I usually need at least 4 of those. Then I fill the rest of my half with Milk Mayfair, Milk Cherry Cordial, Dark Almond Nougat, Milk & Dark Coconut Cream. My husband's favorite is Dark Scotchmallow. Then the rest of his are Dark Butterchew, Milk Almonds, Milk California Brittle, Milk Almond Square, Cashew Brittle and Kona Mocha. We both like truffles - him the Dark and Light Chocolate, me the fruity ones like Pineapple. Splitting a custom box of favorites means we both get exactly what we want. Currently a custom box is a little more expensive than a generic one pound/premade assortment. $33.50 vs. $31.00 but worth every penny! This location had wonderful staff working. I told her my favorite was Rum Nougat and she's the one that turned me on to the Almond Nougat. I love See's! read more

It may seem strange to give a review to a "chain" like See's but this particular location is magical. The staff are as sweet as their offerings and are especially kind to children. My kids love coming here and checking out the seasonal flavors and, of course, getting free samples. We were happy to see before Christmas that pretty much everything sold out! Nonetheless, we were able to nab some limited edition Mint Cream Lollypops and some white chocolate cashew brittle. If you have never been to See's, I would recommend their dark chocolate scotchmallows and Butterscotch Lollypops (I really wish they would bring back the Peanut Butter ones!). Ask for a sample if you are unsure but I believe with such an extensive menu, there is something for everyone! read more

I came in today looking for a couple of different suites to try as I am a faithful See's candy customer .Today was my first time at this particular location and I got help from a worker named Chris and he was absolutely amazing with his customer service very friendly and very helpful and helped me choose some new things and I am very grateful for being able to have him to assist me today and I will be returning to this location and hopefully I get to see him when I return. read more

Thanks Johnnie for your quick response. I just visited today and while I thought there's never a problem with exchanges, I received commentary such as hopefully no more returns. Just to set the record straight, I thought See's welcomes exchanges. I have never "returned" anything, only made exchanges for UNOPENED items. I was disappointed but didn't want to engage in confrontation as I was rushing out the door to meet a friend to deliver her See's holiday gift. Never a problem before but now it seems like after this experience, I will take my business elsewhere. I wish you and yours all the best. Take care. read more

You spend $62 for 2 boxes of chocolates and they still charge you 10 cents for a plastic bag!! WTF... read more

I stopped by See's Candies to buy a gift for a friend's birthday. I didn't know what to get so I got a box of their assorted chocolates which seemed like a safe choice. I couldn't believe that a box of chocolates cost $31 now. The women that worked here were so nice. They greeted me as I walked in and asked if I needed any help. They even offered me a free sample and their limited time white mint truffle was delicious. This was a small location but there was plenty of room to walk around. It was very clean and organized. I liked that they had a simple selection of chocolates to choose from which made buying much easier for me. read more

Placed an order online for pick up and it was a very smooth process. Offering samples and if any assistance was needed. Store was very clean and the two woman were nice and attentive to all customers. They had more in stock than what online indicated, but that's not their fault in any way. read more

Shout out to Chris in Alameda See's candy store! He was attentive, patient, personable, and made my experience getting chocolates for various upcoming occasions the BEST!! He took time to address my requests and didn't forget to offer me a sample. Great customer service! LOVE Alameda See's candy store!! P.S. In future can you all make a small SOLID RED heart box for Valentine's Day? Thank you! read more

I like this place a lot and it reminds me of my childhood. This is located in the South Shore Centre in Alameda right next to the beach. Service is on point. The gentlemen present there was eager to show me around and have a mini tour of what they have in season. Lovely day of the dead and autumn collections for the time being. All very garish. The ambiance is casual and hasn't changed since I've been alive and going. The classic checkered floor and as always the sample is there if you go in. Went in for some classic dark chocolate raisins and some suckers. It's a small place but they always have a nice treat for yourself or your loved ones. Closest BART would be Fruitvale and AC Transit buses 20 and 21 are nearby. read more

Staff is super sweet and efficient. All 3 attendants greeted me when I walked in and asked if I needed assistance. I came to create a custom box and get the Pumpkin Pie Truffles. The person that helped me with the custom box was so patient with me as I had zero clue what to choose I will do better next time. Tried the California Crunch for the first time and it was DELICIOUS! They were out of some chocolates though that I really wanted such as the Dark Scotchmallow and Dark Raspberry Crème. That's okay! I'll come again :) read more

Walked into the store trying to buy some additional birthday gifts. The associates greeted me right when I walked in and asked me if I wanted to try some samples but I declined. Store was clean and neat, I was able to get one already wrapped gift box of chocolate with a bow and a "Seegar". It was the funniest thing I saw, it looked so much like a cigar that my family thought it was a real cigar when I showed it to them. When I went to check out, the lady employee gave me some free samples to go. So nice read more

Angelica is just too sweet!! She is the nicest person I have encountered at this particular location! Everyone who works here in particular is very nice but Angelica went above and beyond! She was very knowledgeable and answered every question I had. They had a limited edition bear candy series and I was so happy I came in because it sounds like they didn't get any more shipments of this chocolate! I'm so excited to give it to our friends for their Anniversary! Angelica gave us not only great samples, many smiles but she gave us excellent customer service! I can not rave about her more! Thank you for everything! read more

Another great experience at this store! Sales associates were very friendly and accommodating -- without a hint of rushing, in spite of my near to closing arrival. I made a quick selection with no extra services (i.e., wrapping) and left very happy with the visit and my purchases. Thank you, See's and staff for the excellent service & experience! read more

Not only is See's chocolate excellent, but the company goes out of its way to support its employees and the local community. See's has flexible work times so that working mothers can have time to be with their families. The See's workforce is also very diversified; everyone is welcome at their plants and stores. See's has long donated to community non-profits and schools; the local corporate center of See's is very supportive of community programs especially those programs that help children. So when you buy See's Candies you are helping your community. You can't go wrong with See's chocolates! read more

This location is a childhood memory of mine. Been going to this location for years. See's has the best chocolates! My favorite candy, hands down. They are still open during Covid. Masks are required while being inside and all the staff are wearing them. Despite not being greeted upon entering the store, I do like how it's rarely crowded here. Normally you'll get a free sample to try once you enter but they changed it to include it in your bag when you make a purchase. I feel like a kid in a candy store here. They have a variety of chocolate and candy to choose from. There's milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, lollypops, fudge, brittle, toffee, nuts and many more. You can even customize to your own liking. My all time favorites are the dark chocolate almond, milk rum nougat, dark almond nougat, and toffee-ettes. Love that the chocolates are just the right amount of sweetness. read more

Loved that they limit the amount of people in the store, everyone masked up. They're also so nice and helpful! Really enjoyed creating my box of chocolates here. Many flavors and types to stuff in there, I was seriously in love with the whole process. See if you can guess what I got from the picture! I definitely couldn't wait and snuck a few once in the car. We had pixies, milk covered cherries, chocolate covered almonds, candies with caramel and vanilla inside... I couldn't name them all but I definitely enjoyed each one. Would highly recommend this spot for sweet tooths! read more

I haven't been to a Sees for many years now, but it's so nostalgic and comforting knowing that the service and decor is exactly the same. Helpful store associates, an abundance of free samples, and a glass counter to look and decide on which sweets you'd want (if customizing). Didn't realize that there was seasonal ones behind the glass counter! Great service, wouldn't mind coming back again. read more

Customer service is top notch for a quality product. Busy when I came in but they were glad to accommodate my questions and offered a sample of something I was interested in purchasing before I made up my mind. read more

Happy to say this location is very nice compared to the denial of service I received there back in the 60's based on race. Mary Sees would have rolled in her grave had she known how my Mom and I were treated that day. Nice store and nice people there now. Thank you! read more

Walked in to make a purchase. Was not greeted as an African american women but everyone else was. I walked out without making the purchase. This has to STOP! Customer service is everything. Why should I make a purchase where my skin color is not respected! read more

We get See's candies every Christmas for stocking stuffers. This year we're at the Alameda location, and the store is neat and clean, and the staff was friendly as with all their locations. Hubby left his face mask in the car, and they were kind enough to provide him with one. We get our usual peanut brittle, peppermint chocolates, lollipops, and a few individual chocolates. Their quality is always top notch. And best of all, everyone gets free samples. read more

Chris, Chris Chris!!! Love coming to this See's you are sooo friendly and KNOWLEDGEABLE about all the chocolates! I always forget the kind I like, but he remembers...Vanilla Nut! Grew up on See's and it's refreshing to see a male face gracing an arena usually run by women. All the ladies at this location are super friendly, but Mr. Chris stands out :-) I have been missing him at the this location. When I was there the other day, he was there and greeted me upon entry. See's had him at the Rockridge location. Love that spot too. All set for V Day...thanks!!! read more

You can now count the shopping days left till Christmas. If your shipping gifts its time you get it all in order. This shop is tucked away in the middle of the mall so you can't park directly next to it or see it if your driving around. I think that is why it isn't as busy as other locations. The Sees at Davis San Leandro this time of year is really rough. Long lines. I went 12/4/16 in the afternoon as was pleasantly surprised how fast I got in and out. Family in Connecticut apparently can't get these so I know they look forward to them. I think they can order pre-selected online but its impossible or difficult? to get a custom box of hand picked chocolates. Raspberry is awesome. Intense flavor and no seeds - unlike Raspberry Ghirardelli squares that are stuffed full of seeds. Three friendly, efficient people working here. Got a few boxes (and one for myself) and was out faster than I ever thought - for a Sunday. The boxes for gifts wrapped up beautifully and already in the mail. :) read more

Who doesn't like a bite of delectable chocolate every now and then? When I saw See's Candy at the shopping center I was at, I couldn't wait to have a piece of my favorite candy! When I looked in the glass cases I didn't see any Scotchmallows. When it was my turn I asked if they had any, but I was told no. Wow, that's the first time I'd ever been in a store that was out of them. Oh well. I decided to try the rocky road. It was pretty good and took care of the chocolate craving. The girl working was very nice and friendly. How can you not be happy in a candy store?! read more

These guys - they're the best. Walked in w a 2 lb box i bought a couple weeks ago. Asked if i could have the box re wrapped w Red wrapper. Turns out their chocolates has an expiration and mine just passed :( I explained that i bought it ahead of time for a Christmas party. The lady Ana O was super accommodating. She exchanged my box for a brand new one!!! These guys are truly the best. Where would you get service like that. read more

Come on down to See's Alameda! They have a new Double Carmel chocolate that is to die for (well, it get's me back there all the time). Always friendly service, always a "taster" for all, and I wish every food joint was this clean! Yes, I am a fan! read more

Okay, if I can give zero star, I would. What happened to the nice customer service gals?! My son and I stopped by to get my chocolate fix at around 345pm, and the guy who "assisted" us was so frikkin rude. He just tossed our sample chocolates in our faces! He's got no manners, and he was the same way with the family in front of us. Hey dude, you are in the wrong profession. Find another job where you don't interact with people. I wonder if there's a camera/video on here, and I suggest to management they watch today around the time I specified above so they can see how this guy's behavior is towards the customers. As we were walking to our car, out of the blue, my young son said, "he's probably just having an off day." Whatever the case may be, it is not right to treat your customers that way! I do not plan to come back and see this guy's rude a$$ face!! And by the way, this is very untrue "friendliest customer service since 1921" you may need to edit that!! read more

The store is rather small compared to other SEE'S stores but the selection is still large. Seems all the people who work there are always helpful. Great personalities. Smiling. Welcoming. Leave the store not only with my sweet tooth calmed down (free samples), but another two, or three pieces to dole out through the evening and feeling like I just spent time with "friends". A win-win visit. read more
