Jimmy, the assistant manager, was so helpful and kind! He introduced himself and offered any assistance. He gave us free samples, too, without us even asking. We selected several boxes of candy and he offered to wrap them in the traditional See's Candies wrapping because we didn't like the "SoCal" box image on a particular product. I recommend this See's Candy location. So clean and Jimmy was so nice! I was tempted to buy more products because of the nice environment and hospitality. read more

Looooove See's Candies. This is my favorite type of chocolate. Bestest quality & consistent over the years.... Every store I've been to has been well organized & staff is always super helpful. Yes, their chocolate can be expensive. However, you're paying for the quality. B read more

Picking up for our son's care package. Staff always friendly and helpful. Love how they give you a sample just for coming in

This See's Candies location in Chula Vista Mall is currently operating out of a much smaller temporary space. The setup feels a bit tight, and there aren't many pre-packed boxes available. That said, you can still make your own personalized box or bag, which is great. We always go for our favorites--the Polar Bears, Double Caramels, and the Pecan and Almond Buds. Hoping they return to their full-size location read more

i've always been a big fan of Sees candies every year. I buy boxes of the candy bars to hand out This year I'm too embarrassed too. They literally are half the size of what they used to be for more money. All you taste is chocolate you don't even taste the nugget or anything on the inside I had an old bar in the freezer and I matched it up in size and it literally was half the size and if you look at the picture the wrapper, they still have the old picture and then you look at the candy bar and it's literally half as thick as what it used to be and even shorter in size very big disappointment. The rapper used to be tight on it now it's loose because. such a big disappointment probably won't be buying candy from them for the holidays to give out. read more

I love buying Sees candy, and the location in Chula Vista Center has been my store for over 30 years. I have always been greeted with a nice smile and welcoming words until today. I looked at the cashier and she looked at me and nothing not even a smile just an ugly look! I couldn't believe it, honestly I would have left if I didn't have to buy a gift. I think the sales lady was named Henrietta, I'm so upset that I can't remember her name! When I was in line to buy the candy she looked at me like I was going to steal it! I have never felt so uncomfortable and upset like that in Sees! So much that I decided to leave this review. I really hope that no one else feels like my mother and I did. read more

I come here regularly for small gifts or a chocolate rush and boy do I love them. See's candies embodies the perfect business model. Going into any small see's candies shop gives you happiness. You are promptly greeted with a "hello, welcome to see's" and given a chocolate with the option of dark or milk chocolate. Their employees are kind and seem to really enjoy their career. I want to say thank you to the kind staff who kindly helped a man out who I believe works at the mall as a security who came in saying he needed a quick chocolate of any kind because his blood sugar was low. He seemed close to fainting and the lovely ladies were quick to provide him one without hesitation. He quickly threw it in his mouth without delay and took a few breaths while quickly chewing it and instantly felt the difference. I'd like to say I witnessed a miracle because had see's candies not been there, I'm scared to say I'm not sure where that man would be. I hope he's all well now and I commend this location for being quick on their feet and providing a great service to all of us in the community. Their chocolates are superb and you just can't go wrong with a box of chocolates for any occasion. read more

Went In for the usual Father's Day gift . Place was clean and peanut brittle was available. Thank goodness . Jasmin was super sweet , kind and patient . My son was paying with his very first bank debit card and he forgot his pin . Jasmin was super nice and reset the register about 4 times as he kept inputting the wrong PIN number . She empathized with him as she remembered having the same experience herself . She suggested running the card as credit as he couldn't remember the pin indefinitely. It finally went through and my son sighed of relief . Thank you Jasmin for making this process for him less stressful ! read more

I usually stop in at this See's Candies location. All the staff are so wonderful and friendly. I took my grandson yesterday and was assisted by Jimmy M. My 8 year old grandson felt so comfortable with the experience that he took out his little notepad and wrote a "thank you" note to Jimmy. This spoke volume of the personalized attention he provided during our visit. This young man deserves acknowledgment on his exceptional customer service skills. read more

I don't do sugar, but these ladies are so wonderful: the two Marias and Jazmin/Jennifer (I've seen her wear badges with both names). They are ALWAYS nice and even say "hello" to me even when they are busy and it does get busy in there--lots of diabetics! One rarely sees that kind of outstanding, positive customer service anymore. read more

Normally iLOVE Sees but the one in Chula Vista absolutely sucked, the lady was horrible, didn't know her available candy and just was a real jerk. I definitely won't be back, I'll just drive to the further one In point Loma!! read more

I was really excited to visit this location since I have had good experiences in the past but sadly, it was a huge disappointment. I had an incredibly frustrating experience at this specific location due to the rude and unprofessional customer service. From the moment I walked in, the staff seemed uninterested in assisting me. Specifically Henriqueta who acted like I was bothering her when all I did was stand in line and wait for my turn quietly and patiently. When I asked a simple question, the employee responded with a dismissive tone and gave me a vague answer. I tried to remain polite, but the lack of respect was shocking. It's clear that they don't value their customers, and it's such a shame because the product/service itself is good. I won't be coming back, and I would not recommend this place to anyone who expects decent service. read more

The free piece of chocolate they give you is reason enough to stop in!.... I'm a fan of milk chocolate (so bad, I know)... theirs is rich and pretty sweet.. Very sweet actually. A small piece should be enough to satisfy. This location is smaller than the shop in otay, but they offer pretty much the same products... Pre-made boxes and baggies... Also seasonal wrapping. And of course the counter display full of individual pieces... Sees also offers Sugar free items, brittle, lollipops, and peppermints... Customer service was friendly and welcoming. Clean and busy. read more

I grew up in Chula Vista, and I have very fond memories of walking to what used to be at the Chula Vista mall. It was about a 2 mile walk from our house, and my mom would take us there and we would visit seers and at that time seers always had a candy shop inside but on special occasions, we would go to the sees candy store and it was a very memorable moment for all of us to go there and get chocolates now as an adult I go there and I get my favorite butterscotch, lollipops, and, some specialty candies nuts and chews and never have. I ever felt so good when I walk in that place the staff is very warm and helpful, professional friendly, kind and everything that you would want and a local candy store. Thank you for making my memories come true because while I grew up here, I left the area for about 40 years after I went into the military. I was up in Northern California for most of my time when I retired, I came back home and that was one of the first places I went to when I got back. Thanks for doing such a great job. read more

See's Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Came here to check out the chocolates and get my free sample. My daughter loves chocolates so we found some milk chocolate balls that were $7.95 a bag. I didn't want to spend too much on chocolate. The quality here is pretty good. The lady who gave me and my daughter samples was very nice. The store is clean but small. Everything was easy to find. They have small packages of chocolate in the center of the store. There were so many different kinds of chocolates that had nuts, caramel, etc. The store is located at the corner of the Chula Vista mall near JC Penney. You get a free sample of chocolate every time you come visit the store. No purchase necessary. There's plenty of parking in front and around the store. I highly recommend stopping by. There's something for everyone. read more

I went yesterday with my family, the staff welcomed us with some samples, they have smile and great attitude, helped us with taste, flavor, type of chocolate and for our purchase they gave us more chocolate, also they make sure you don't wait at the check out so open the extra one. That's mean to me an excellency of Cuatomer services ! Great Job! read more

Stopped by at this See's location this past weekend after grabbing a bite to eat at a near by eatery. I was assisted by a wonderful and charming gentleman by the name of Jesus, his professionalism and knowledge regarding their product is above and beyond, See's is very fortunate to have him as a team member. Thank you Jesus for all of your help. read more

What can I say about this place, it's pure evilness and decadence. It's a chocolate lovers paradise. So many good choices, what to pick, I guess I'll have to try them all. They always give out free samples. Lady asked if I had a sample yet, I had, but I said I won't pass it up if you give me another, and she did, even gave me a piece that I hadn't tried. I'm such a bad boy! Chocolates so good that it makes my mouth water. Sure it costs about $16.50 for a one pound box of chocolates, but it's the best you'll ever have. I can have chocolates in my house and they'll last weeks or months, but with the See's candies, lucky if they last a week. They're like potato chips, you can't eat just one! Key lime truffle, oh man! 5 Stars dude! read more

My friend and I went to See's location and was helped by a very friendly associate, Jasmine. Her customer service skills are spot on! She made sure that we were assisted with what we were looking for. She even provided directions of where to find another store in the mall. She was very sweet! She even recommended any thing else that we might want to purchase as add ons. read more

ONE POUND GIFT CERTIFICATE. That's what I brought. I don't buy previews because some of the chocolates, like the mocha--do not taste fresh, the consistency of the filling tastes old. And since I have been disappointed almost every single time I do purchased ore-boxed---I don't anymore. So according to this store they charge extra when you go handpick as opposed to going preboxed. I have never heard such nonsense. And false advertising to me...it says one pound gift certificate. It doesn't say, ONE POUND GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR PREBOXED ONLY. Handpicked will be charged $2-$3 more. This is shady! read more

Went to uni sushi decided to get candy with family so while the kids wait in car husband and I get candy. Get to the table picked out about $20 of chocolates. These ladies hands me a small bag and says thank you, now fyi it's about 5pm in cali and I dont if you order like this before but it's about 15 to 20 pieces of candy. So I said what happened to the box she said I cant take the candy back I said ok then she hands me the smallest box they have, I said it's not going to fit she said it will, I said ok. Guess what I get to the car and sure as crap it didnt fit by then the candy started sticking together. I tried to put them in to where even after the kids I still had 3 left over the box. Thanks for the covid excuse.and for assuming.....#blacklivesmatter the reason I say this is because when I go there they usually asked would I like a bag or box and or a couple of pieces or a box. read more

I'm sad to add a bad review to this place because honestly i LOVE these chocolates... but today was to much... I paid $16 for a pound of California brittle... and i dont understand why or how the girl packed the chocolates. I understand that they are hard to pack since they come two in a cup but how she packed them the lid didn't fit correctly and it was for a gift... read more

What separate's See's Candies from the rest? They have maintained the 'simple' and kept their prices low, compared to those gourmet chocolate stores. See's Candies has been around, since before I was born. I have fond memories of the small heart-shaped Valentine's boxes and lollipops given to me, during my elementary and secondary school days. See's Candies has maintained their reputation for old-fashioned, great Customer Service, as well. I suspect the company takes good care of their employees, as I have never met a See's employee with a bad attitude. They're always smiling and willing to help narrow down your choices, which can be difficult to do. Lines are still long here, but go by quickly. Grab a 2-page menu, picturing their chocolates. You can check off from a list of Dark Chocolates with Nuts, Truffles, White Chocolates, Milk Chocolates with Nuts, Milk Chocolate without Nuts, and Specialty Pieces to "Build the ultimate box" for that special gift or select individual pieces to enjoy for yourself. There's so much to choose from. Amongst my favorites, in no particular order, are the following (I might as well have included the entire menu, huh?): Walnut Square California Brittle® Dark California Brittle® Toffee-ette® Kona Mocha Dark Nougat Molasses Chip Almond Truffle Summertime Pecan Bud Chelsea Café Hazelnut Truffle Normandie® I love that See's Candies still packages their candies in those familiar white boxes and paper treat bags. Don't forget that they have other products available other than individual chocolates, such as lollipops, brittles & toffee, peppermints, and gifts for all occasions. If I'm ever at the Westfield Chula Vista mall, chances are you'll catch me sneaking into See's Candies to buy a half-dozen individual pieces for myself to take, while I do my shopping. read more

Although I'm a chocolate lover, I hardly ever stop by this store. I came in last week to get some Valentine's Day gifts for my grandmother and for some friends. I was very impressed with the friendliness from the two lovely cashiers that were there. Their willingness to help me made me feel less stupid and I felt comfortable enough to ask and try different chocolates! I wish I would have gotten their names to really acknowledge their wonderful customer service but if you didn't feel comfortable stopping by, fear not, it's a good location read more

Perfect place to get delicious chocolates and gifts . You can't go wrong with chocolate. And the Samples YUMM..

They know me here... The little old ladies with the samples give me extra. I have to have hand pack. Pecan buds by the pound. There're crazy folk 'round here arguing with little old ladies controlling the capacity of the store on Mother's day, Valentine's day and Christmas. A security guard is now added on heavy user holidays. Yes, My name is Tom and I'm a See's-aholic. read more

I was visiting from out of town and needed a gift. I decided to try See's Candies in Chula Vista. The candy is the best I've ever had and the display was gorgeous. So many choices! My favorite is the new dark chocolate peanut butter hearts! The service was superb and everyone was friendly. It was crowded but they got me out in 10 minutes, I had a hard time choosing the chocolates I wanted to complete my box. Those employees work hard. I highly recommend this See's Candies! read more

Given the current covid pandemic I understand certain establishments are required to operate much differently than they otherwise would- which also results in the general public trying to work with places also. The procedure as of now is you have to purchase your orders online, which is what I had done. I customized my box like I would at any other time, but the online process is a bit different in that you choose the percentage you would like to fill your box (ex: 10% is the equivalent of 2 pieces of the same candy.. so on) at check out I had chosen all my chocolate options and with that did 10% per chocolate. At some point that changed once the payment processed went through, changing the percentage from 10% to 25% per chocolate... meaning all of my options changed from 10 different chocolate flavors filling the box, to only 4 types (6 pieces of 4 flavors). I explained to the employee my dissatisfaction and how I am unsure where the error happened given that I can clearly see on my end all of the chocolates I had chosen (showing her that my options are in the check out cart).. she said her manager said that need to order ANOTHER box online and they cannot fix it. I am not spending another $30 on a box of chocolate. Being in the hospitality industry, customer satisfaction is always my main priority- I cannot let a customer leave disappointed, especially if there is anything I can do to change it.. the manager did not care about my concern regardless of her working for a multimillion dollar company. Super unfortunate & upsetting bc I was SO excited only to be disappointed. read more

I noticed one of the twelve pieces given to me, a milk chocolate almond, had whiteness suggesting time in the fridge. Every other piece in the box was at full freshness, and excellent. Thank you, See's. read more

See's Candies - Mmm mm m! Yummy for my tummy - Candy Stores Near Me - Chula Vista, California

They were very organized. They were all so nice. The store was so clean! We bought lots of candy!

Went there today to buy a few things for mother's day (5/9) and I must say, the lady at the door and the other lady who checked me out were AMAZING with their customer service skills! Super kind, friendly and above all professional. Give them a raise...they most certainty deserve it! Shame, that I didn't get their names. read more

This is a great SEE'S CANDY! They are centrally located. On an 'end-cap'/ corner of the mall building. (sometimes, in the Mall's they are inside the building). It's easy in/out. They are a 'full service' store, not just a few boxed items or holiday stuff. They have a full counter if you want to choose your own or want Rocky Road or something out of the ordinary. They are well staffed. If it is a holiday month, they will have a good number of people working in order to serve you better. They give you the customary 'free sample'! It doesn't get much better then this, if your looking for your SEE'S CANDY FIX!! BOTTOM LINE: 1) Convenient 2) Full Service Store 3) Well Staffed (with willing workers that are there to assist you in making your Candy shopping day the 'blissed event' that it should truly be!!) GOOD JOB! read more

The four stars are for the two Marias: Maria C. and the other Maria! I'm not a candy guy, just buy it for lady friends--and it's close to home. Hope they don't shut it down. read more
