See's Candies is one of my absolute favorites. I can never choose just one treat because everything is so good. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I really appreciate the complimentary sample so I can discover new favorites each time. They offer a wide variety of candies, including sugar-free options, which is great for everyone. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but the quality makes it totally worth it. Always a must-visit for a sweet indulgence! read more

What's not to like? good quality candy, it's a bit pricey, but it's worth it for the quality alone.

Great service and fresher selection than the last See's I visited. Only complaint was not knowing the fastest way to get to it as it is inside the open area mall with no direct access from the parking lot. Now I know the best way is a short cut through Panera! read more

I mean who doesn't love See's Candies!? I always enjoy coming here and seeing what they have specific and special for the holidays. I mean I also enjoy getting a free chocolate too! At times it can get busy but there is still plenty of space inside! I recently found out that they make and sell Strawberry Medallions, and they are absolutely delicious!! They are so tasty and so flavorful that you can't stop eating them. My mouth is just watering just thinking about those sweet treats!! The employees there are always so nice and helpful. They recommend the best gifts depending on the situation and for who. read more

I have been going to See's since I was a kid. I'm 48 now and I still love their chocolate. They have the best truffles ever. And the customer service is always amazing. I love this place. read more

My Mother used to buy me candies from See's, so I have a special place in my heart for this business. I particularly like the shiney white wall panels, inside and out. It all feels very cool and serene, if a bit clinical. - Sometimes it can get crowded, and the wait can extend, as the person in front of you buys fifty different candies, one at a time. The staff are generally efficient, but sometimes I detect a bit of testiness in their manner. As to the candies, for me it is always the dark chocolate creams. And the dark fudge [be sure to ask them to cut it into sections]. And the "birthday cake" candies covered in multicolor sprinkles. Your purchase will be placed in a large white shopping bag with double handles, which are very nice. read more

Pretty much the tastiest candy I have ever eaten. I would recommend trying: scotch kiss, scotchmallow, double carmels. There are many other delicious choices. Always tastes fresh. read more

The customer service at this location horrible. This specific shop is located in Grossmont center by Panera bread. Directly across from Macy's. Regrettably I frequent sees quite of often.... I love their chocolate. But this location is terrible. There's always a loooong line and 1 person working. And I get that the 1 person is overwhelmed but dang... sooo rude. The young lady was so rude. I will continue to visit my local sees store in Otay ranch mall that has excellent, prompt customer service. read more

Love this See's. Dark Salted Carmel and Almond Royals are the best. I like that you can go in a buy a piece or two at a time, or a box if you're feeling fancy. The ladies are always so nice and welcoming, and the line moves quickly. Plus you can get a sample if you want. Located right next to Panera and across from Macys, so it's convenient to get to. Overall, one of my favs. read more

Far and away the best chocolate candy being offered. Stop in for a free sample of your choice and buy a box to take home. We give these boxed away to out special friends at Christmas; they love it. The prices are appropriate for the quality and a little too much for purchase on a frequent basis. But for a special treat you can not beat it. read more

Thank you LORD for placing Charlie and Nikki to work here. This is .y all time FAVORITE Sees Candy Store.#GayleJustSpoke

What a fantastic experience. I went to See's candy to get some special treats for my son's birthday and welcome their baby girl in to our Family. Nicolette made my purchase extra special She wrapped my boxes with beautiful paper bows and a sleeve with adorable animals When I took it over to my Son's house after he and his wife were thrilled. Such a wonderful present and I highly recommend others to visit this See's candy store at Grossmont Shopping Center. Carol Lovejoy clovejoy@lovejoymoving.com October 17, 2021 read more

This is an awesome See's Candy. Not only did they have everything I wanted in store, they had a bunch of new items as well! I have been going to See's for years and love to bring back a few boxes for family when I come back to Florida. This time, we got 5 1/2 pound boxes and a few other things. The lady helping us was so nice and patient and let my nephew have whatever free piece of chocolate he wanted. She was very patient as my sister and I planned out all of the boxes for people who live different kinds of candy. The store was clean as pretty much any See's I have been to is. It feels a bit more modern inside though and it felt bright. We did not feel rushed at all and were able to get everything we wanted. I will likely return to this location. Try the Rum Nuggat!! read more

Let me start off by stating that I don't really like chocolate, but my better half does. We go this See's location every once in a while when she feels like getting chocolate. The selection is really good, and according to her the quality is too! During one of our visits I tried a sample Toffee-ette. I do like nuts, especially almonds, and this is how See's describes the Toffee-ette: "Little nuggets of rich Danish butter toffee and roasted almonds smothered in See's creamy milk chocolate...topped off with even more crunchy almonds." The combination of flavors is fantastic and I really like the crunch of these little candies. As I don't really care for the other chocolates I learned that you can buy Toffee-ette in a resealable one pound can for $21.00. As I only eat one or two at a time at most, a couple of times a week, a tin lasts me for well over a month. These Tofee-ettes should probably not be eaten more at a time because the sugar content is high and the fat content even higher. Still one of the candies in the morning with a hot cup of black coffee made with freshly ground beans is a real treat! As for the store, I like the retro look and uniforms the employees wear. The store is always clean, selection is always available (as far as I can tell) and the service is always friendly. So, if you don't really like chocolate, but like nuts, try these little nuggets! read more

Always enjoy coming into Sees! Workers are always friendly, it really makes my day better!

See's. Oh yah, for decades this has been a dependable great place for yummy boxed chocolates. Great quality ingredients. ...omgosh, as I write this, I just remembered I used to buy handfuls of Sees suckers and sell them back in junior & high school! (Many, many, many moons ago...) Oh yah. Probably for 15¢ each back then!!! Now they're almost a dollar each. But I think the best chocolates here are the California Brittle. That's it right there. SO good! The chocolate covering on the outside is layered just right. Then when you bite it, the brittle inside doesn't break your teeth. It chunks nicely and it's buttery and caramel-toffee with pieces of toasted almonds that are easy to crunch on. But you don't want to chew it all too much. You gotta let it melt in your mouth, all those flavors and textures of sweet n salty together. Then finish crunching it all down. Haha So yummy!! Well every Christmas, I have to get a boxful of the California Brittle for one of our daughters-in-law. She loves them. But, I get plenty so she can share it with us! And then I also can't forget an assortment of the suckers for stockings. My favorite is the caramel. Then the chocolate. So I would give See's (5) stars if it wasn't for the prices. They're kinda steep. Yah, if I could get out the door under $50 for the candies I noted above, I'd do well. And yet, I come back! (I'll have to try and get a pic to post of the CA Brittle when the box is opened at Christmas. ) read more

I bought candy today. It tasted very old and stale. It was kind of dried up. This location must not be busy. They must not rotate stock. Even the sample they gave me tasted old. I was dis appointed. read more

This is a nice See's Candies. I came in to pick up a few items for some friend's stocking stuffers. I was greeted when I walked in, and I think the little old lady was startled when I answered her question on how I had been. She did ask, so I went over and explained how my day went. I started by picking up a few Mint Cream Lollypops for .80 a piece. I do with they had a deal where perhaps you buy six and you get one free or something. Also, I picked up a couple of bags of the Dark Chocolate Foil Balls. They are a little pricey at $6.40, but they are very good. For me, I just had to buy a bag of their famous seasonal cashew brittle smothered in a buttery white chocolate. This stuff is winner! At the register, the little old lady did not ask me anymore questions, but rung me up with a big smile on her face, so I winked and said thank you my dear and walked out. Nice lady, good sense of humor, and great candy.... read more

I went here to get some gifts for my loved ones ( as well as a few samples for myself) and even though they were busy Sophia B. was so nice and patient and helped me make some great milk chocolate choices. She didn't make me feel rushed or anything and it was a genuine pleasure to work with her today. Great job Sophia! Definitely a really nice See's location! read more

Ah! Old School See's Candies stores! This store has very sweet girls working there & everyone is really friendly. I love the sample candies you get when you cozy up up the counter. TIP: If you have a Costco card you can buy the 2 pack of the gift certificate pack of one pound of candy ($22.99). read more

See's Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - La Mesa, California

What's not to love?! See's is the best chocolates ever. Grossmont Center is now the closest since they closed Mission Valley. Everyone is nice and pleasant. Of course you always get a free sample to taste. They often have specials and they give you a $5 coupon for the next time you shop and spend more than $30. Easy to do if you do hand selection. I remember shopping See's for $7.50 a pound. It's now $23 a pound. Still the best. This store is near the Target in the mall. read more

See's Candies - Truffles and 2 sample boxes - Candy Stores Near Me - La Mesa, California

Impossible to find, walked all around the mall, then called for assistance. The recording said it's next to the Mission Federal Bank. There's a sign that says Sees candy 'now open' right next to the bank yet no storefront to be seen. read more

Walked by and decided to come in and check out the chocolates. The lady behind the counter greeted us Hi! She was friendly! It was cool to see so many chocolates! The lady offered us a sample of the chocolate peanut bar. The truffles behind the glass looked delicious! So many flavors from chocolate to white chocolate truffles. Truffles are my favorites. I don't care for the other stuff. They also sell lollipops and smaller packs for a little cheaper than getting a massive box. We just ended up browsing. I really wanted some milk chocolate truffles. Maybe next time. At least I got to sample a piece of chocolate with peanuts on top. Place was clean and organized. Place is located inside the Grossmont Center mall. Make sure you stop by to get a free sample even if you don't walk out with a box of chocolates. read more

I absolutely love See's Candies. I have been a fan as long as I can remember. They offer a wide variety of different chocolates so there is something to suit everyone. They even offer pre-packaged sugar free if you need it. My all time favorite are the scotchmallow and the almond square however this one is now only a limited candy and only available at select times of the year. Also, who doesn't love the lollipops. This store in particular is a very nice store. It's always clean and the workers are very friendly. I've always been offered a sample as soon as it's my turn in line and when I or my son haven't liked the sample they always offer another. On our last visit we bought about 6 boxes of chocolates and the lady helping us was wonderful. My son even saw a chocolate he wanted and she stopped for a minute to give him a chocolate he wanted. This is one of my favorite locations. read more

Lured in by coupon I received in the mail, I came in to do some Easter shopping. Yeah, I know I could go to the one on Rosecrans and get the discount, but this one is so much closer to my house, and I'm lazy. I just love coming in here and smelling the chocolate. Ah, the free samples and the ladies are always so happy to see you. And bonus, at Easter time they have those adorable little hollow eggs that are filled with white chocolate chicks. Plus the marshmallow eggs, yum. I mean, uh, yeah I was shopping for my kid. This is probably a smaller location, but they always seem to have everything in stock. I usually come in before the holidays and get gifts. I also get hand packed boxes of truffles for a friend of mine and ship them, they always wrap them really cute. read more

I tried to pay at the register like the white blonde in front of me, but when she was done with her purchase I was told to get in line behind all the customers that wanted to build custom boxes. I had to leave to bring my son to work, so I didn't have the choice to wait. I said I had to leave and the balding guy with glasses behind the counter said, "that's fine." and turned around. There was another salesperson already helping people choose, so he could have rung me up. Outside I even asked the blonde lady if she was told to wait and she said that she didn't and was surprised to hear the cashier say that to me. I feel so humiliated. read more

Great little shop. Very clean. Well merchandised. We were the only two customers at See's on a Friday afternoon and there were two older ladies working the store. Then it suddenly filled up with people. A customer who approached the counter just before us ordered 2 pounds of custom selected candy and other items and needed to have them gift wrapped. We had a pretty long wait in line because there was just one employee to take care of the one customer in front of us and the 8 after us. We had time to spare but a lady behind us was annoyed and left in a huff. I'm not sure what happened to the second employee, but if would have been more efficient if she'd been at the counter to help the crunch of customers. read more

See candy is the best in the world, really. This location is alwayS clean and cheerful.

Where to start! Sees is absolutely delicious! Sugar free diet what??? I don't think I've ever had a bad candy from them (in the scope of chocolate). Not much to complain about. The workers could be a lot friendlier but they're not rude either. Ehh I leave pretty happy almost always :) read more

Thank you for opening a sees candy by Parkway, Plaza! Now I can go get sees candy after I see a movie!

On this lovely Sunday afternoon 7-22-18 I had this sudden urge to get some delicious chocolate. I decided to go to See's candies to get a pound of chocolate. You can always count on the quality of the chocolate at See's but you can't say the same for customer service. This is not the first time I have received bad customer service here. I came in again to give them another chance because I don't want to have to drive all the way to Parkway Plaza to get See's Candies. I have NEVER in my LIFE felt more DISCRIMINATED than I did today. I knew what I wanted so I pick up a pound of nuts and chew chocolate box. I waited in line patiently, then I see a customer go to the cash register to pay so I go too because I was not going to buy any separate chocolate. There was only one person helping people out, I understand she was busy. She rang up the lady in front of me, once she was done with her she took one look at me and said "who is next." I said I only need to pay for this. But she didn't even make eye contact with me. She proceeded to help the white lady that was next to me. By the way there were only 3 customers including myself each with their partner. So she wasn't overwhelmed with 5 or more customers. She rang me up after she was done helping the lady which took her about 10 mins just to decided what chocolates she wanted. Oh and she ever so kindly offered me the sample chocolate the lady touched but didn't want! WTF!! I felt completely humiliated and belittled. I stayed when in reality I should have left and not spent any money at this establishment. I left disappointed and disgusted at the world we live in. Needles to say I lost my craving for See's chocolate. She could of simply rang me up and I could of been on my way. Oh and please don't try and tell me this is not how it works. I have gone to different See's Candies and if you only have the box of chocolates and are not buying any separately then you can pay and not have to wait in line. Yes this was with one worker in the store too. Well that's that and I will just get my chocolate fix at Chuao Chocolatier even if I have to go all the way to Carlsbad!! Bye See's Candies I know you don't hurt for money but it would be nice to have a better representation of your company and values. read more

Can't wait until May 30th for their Cashew Toffee to come out! YAY

It's pretty hard to walk past the See's candy store without stopping in for a free sample. The problem is I feel guilty eating the free samples if I don't buy something, so I usually end up spending around eight or ten dollars on a few goodies. My oldest daughter who lives in Texas enjoys coming in here to pick up a few of the caramel type lollipops, a childhood favorite. I grew up with Fanny Farmer candy back in Michigan and learned pretty quickly that See's was the Fannie Farmer counterpart on the west coast. Because I try not to eat too much chocolate and decadent candy I try to resist coming in, but I sure enjoy the heck out of it when I do. Dark chocolate covered cherries are my favorite with dark chocolate caramel following close behind and just about anything else covered in dark chocolate as well! read more

I had a pleasant visit here today! Stopped by for my favorite chocolates & was greeted by a gentleman named Gerald when I arrived! He was one of the kindest sees employees I have ever dealt with :) Thanks! I will definitely be back read more

Stopped by to pick up some chocolate for Mother's Day and I got to the door at 6 when John, an employee was locking the door. It was me and another lady and her daughter waiting as well. I had told the lady that I am there to pick up some stuff for Mother's Day. John approached the door and as he unlocked the door to tell us that he's closed, the lady that was waiting before me said "please let him in and don't worry about me and my daughter, we can go else where, we feel bad that he made the trip to get something for his mom". John ended up letting the three of us in and helped us all. I asked him if he can mix and match for two pounds of chocolate and he was fast at it. Thank you John for accommodating! You rock! read more

See's Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - La Mesa, California

Who has not delighted in a gift box of candy from See's? I think See's is just about the best there is even over and above Godiva. Raised in Southern California I was never without See's. A trip to the mall would always include a stop to pick up a couple of pieces of my favorites, an apricot bon bon, and dark chocolate covered California brittle. The lady at the counter told me that they are spreading their wings and expanding into other states, Texas, my current home state is one of them. I have seen a kiosk or two around the holidays but not a regular Sees store yet, although I heard there were one or two in the DFW area. Will have to look it up. See's uses real butter and sugar in their candies, no preservatives just as their motto says "Quality Without Compromise®" read more

Very poor customer service at this location. There is a male employee who occasionally works there who seems kind but the core staff (older women) are very rude and miserable. They can't be bothered to provide semi decent customer service. read more
