Ever the romantic, my husband pops into Sees candy to buy me a box of what I love every now and again throughout the year. I like to order online to ship as gifts. They Bay Area's longtime Sees candies company has had me in a chokehold for decades. I love the old fashion style of butter cream and sugar candies. Gifting is easy with pre-wrapped assortment boxes in the store. I love the free sample while you shop because sometimes what I'm buying isn't for me. I love Sees as I am sure you do too! Friendly helpful staff, ample parking right outside, sweet deliciousness. After all these years my husband still buys me chocolates from Sees. read more

I love See's Candies! Stopped in last week when I was in the shopping center to satisfy a sweet tooth. Truly wanted one piece of chocolate...but is that really ever possible?! I was offered a sample - milk chocolate with caramel filling - and couldn't resist buying more of the same! Such a smart sales tactic. Their milk chocolate is my fave! I find See's stores to be consistently clean, organized, and well-stocked. This store was no different. Staff were super friendly. And I left a happy customer! I'll be back! read more

I walked in the door about 10 minutes before closing on a Saturday night. Had I entered any other establishment, I would've gotten the death stare from the sole employee manning the store. Not See's, and definitely not from Cayenne. She was so kind, patient and showed no signs of resentment. I really needed my See's chocolates because life is like a box of chocolates, and I had a bad taste in my mouth from visiting the major grocery store chain on Nave Dr. I digress... Back to Cayenne. She's a sweetheart superstar in a rude world. I'm grateful for people like her, and chocolate like See's. Cayenne deserves a promotion, or a raise. And See's deserves to stay around forever. read more

Just posted a review the the other location and remembered that this one needs a 5star as well. They are always so cheerfully ready to help! I love the vibe every time we go in. read more

Such friendly staff at this store - they always greet you and ask right away if you'd like a sample and they let you choose the sample!

How can you not like See's candy? I've eaten chocolate from all places that are famous for its chocolate. I'm sure I missed a few. But to have See's quality in my backyard is wonderful. Every time I go, I am greeted with warmth and an offer of free candy. And often I see people come in just for the free sample, but it's always offered with a smile. I don't know if it's See's corporate policy or local philanthropy, but I give Vintage Oaks store 10 stars. I do not work there or know anyone who does. read more

Great quality always, tons of safe parking and extremely convenient in mall. Service folks make sure to help and get you in and out easily. To save $ go to Costco and buy sees gift cards and come back to store to buy candy boxes for Xmas gifts and save. read more

Let me preface with retail is hard. Retail during the holidays is extra challenging. Everyone is doing their best. However, today I go into this See's candy. Only one of the four employees acknowledged me--without a smile or a "be right with you." As the line stagnated, two other customers left in frustration. When I asked the assistant manager, Hardy or Harlan, to ring me up, he pointed to the line and curtly said, "There's a line." His response felt dismissive and rude. As an assistant manager, I expected better attentiveness to customers needing assistance. While I've had great experiences with the staff here, particularly the Asian employee who provides excellent service, this visit was disappointing. I'll be visiting the Corte Madera store instead. read more

The service at the seas candy in Novato is always friendly and helpful. The store is clean and the candy is delicious. we always buy all our candy there. read more

Nothing wrong with the customer service everyone is extremely nice but I was shocked at how much they have raised their prices. When I looked at the receipt I saw that they charge for the packing of their box of chocolates! Absolutely an appalling rip off. $1.50 for a crappy little bow that goes around their $30 box of chocolates. Beware of these hidden costs. read more

Super friendly staff! This store has to be a customer service model of how to create, raving and returning fans to this Bay Area tradition. And being able to enjoy a free sample of the best chocolate on the market, while shopping for more chocolate, Yum. Sees? Are you price gouging? Is there a reason your prices has risen so high? You're matching Harry & David in my gift giving budget. read more

This location has the friendliest staff members, most have been here since the opening!! The selection runs out quickly on holiday favorites. Clean, fresh candy and excellent customer service. read more

Can't ever skip this store when I head to Ca. These are the best chocolates. Plus the store loves to give you free samples when you walk in. I am addicted to their scotch mallows. For the price I think Sees is one of the best chocolates on the market! read more

I just got off work and was pulling out of the lot yesterday when I noticed that See's happened to still be open and had two customers inside. The staff member on location graciously allowed me in to purchase a last minute gift box set for a birthday gift. I had picked one out just as soon as she came over to help me, and she was beyond sweet about giving me a sample and checking me out even though she could have easily chosen to close out. Such a great experience and reminder of why I love purchasing from See's! And, my friend loved the gift! read more

Always love See's Candies! This shop, the most amazing experience I have ever had! Just went in, and was helped by Cayenne! She had the most natural, warm and loving customer service! Knew her product, and knew her store! There was a rush, which I'm sure was stressful, but she remained calm and level headed! Keeping my business to this location only from now on read more

Buyer Beware! While you may love this Sees Candy Store but as a consumer be diligent when shopping there. The staff will be friendly & talk with you & even offer you a free sample of your choice. But they don't tell you about hidden costs: like an extra $1.50 for a bow on the box of prepackaged chocolate. The bow can't even be used again on your other packages because it has the Sees logo on it. Also other wrapping extras like cardboard box or band will cost you extra- just say no & take the free gift wrap or non at all. Buy the Sees candy in the cellophane bags & you won't get charged for a box! And if you choose to choose a personal assortment pound of candy, MAKE SURE to tell them to keep it to ONE lb. Which is about 30.00 a lb. One female employee asked me if I minded if my personal assortment & I am quoting her: "went a little over a pound". When I said ok she packed that box with 17.00 more candy which made that box a total of 47.00 - yikes! We clearly had a difference of what "a little over" a pound meant. When I realized the cost, I went back to Sees that same morning with the box of candy asked & a gentleman employee about it. He just said: "Oh we charged by the pound & yours was more". He never offered to fix it, refund, nothing. He acted like I was the dumb consumer who didn't pay attention! So pay attention folks!! Sees already makes a lot of $$$ they don't need to nickel & dime & dollar their loyal customers! Too bad the staff at that store don't tell you that you will be paying more for things like a bow & "a little more" candy- shame on them at the Novato store!! I did not have this kind of experience at the Corte Madera or SF stores. So beware & you can save some money while shopping there- don't let them charge you more just because they give you a free sample of candy & act like they are doing you a big favor! read more

Much of this mall is nondescript due to the Target, Costco and Old Navy anchor points, so always forget about this location. Will definitely be back in the future. All of the typical See's offerings. Very friendly staff with easy and plentiful parking options. Expect waves of people -- make sure to browse quickly even if it seems like the location is quiet. Minus a star for the wrong candy being placed in the bag and dealing with the disappointment of a very sassy child! read more

The employees of See's candies are always so nice! I go in to get the molasses chips and the Toffee-etttes. They will wrap them for you if you wish. Perfect for gift-giving! What I like best about them is that they give you samples while you're waiting in line or when you're just checking out the counter. These samples have prompted me to purchase some of the items I've sampled! Excellent candies, excellent service. read more

This is a great little See's shop. Staff is friendly, helpful and patient, especially when it is difficult to decide which of the many selections of candy you want. No matter how many fancy types of candy I try, there is always something about See's that keeps me coming back. I think it is the freshness of the candy and the fact that it is made with the freshest and finest ingredients. Even people I have heard be sort of snobbish about chocolate will often say, "yet See's does have the freshest taste," or something like that. I can remember as a little kid my grandma and other relatives always bought a box of candy from Sees, especially for holidays. And, even if the box had not been opened for some time, when it was opened, the candy was as fresh as if it had been bought just that day right from the shop. Also, I think there is something comforting about just a little bit of chocolate now and then. read more

Quick, easy, polite, better signs with chocolate collection inside. Prices are posted for packaged candy well. Good experience and a treat to go. Thanks for being part of our neighborhood. read more

Love Sees! So glad Sally Buffet bought it as a loss. Whoever was smart enough to send her a selection of chocolates saved the company much to Warren's dismay; but, he had to admit he loved the chocolates. Sees are so much better than Godiva and more reasonably priced! I am a sucker for the nuts and chews! Anything with toffee! This location is always cleaned and well stocked. The staff is always helpful and friendly! read more

Every time I step into this store, I am immediately greeted and offered a free sample. Love the staff here!!

As a child growing up in San Rafael, I remember resting my chin on the counter of the 4th street Sees candy & admiring the 50's style color portraits of babies that lined the walls. I loved the warm inviting atmosphere that the older grandmother staff exuded and as I got older, I appreciated their constant smiles and professionalism. Never did I see them flustered or stressed out, no matter how busy it became, they were always friendly, efficient and pleasant, which is why I was a customer right up until the store closed. Sigh. That being said, the bar was set pretty high. Thankfully, the majority of the staff at the Vintage Oak store are similar in many ways and it's nice to see similar smiling faces and helpful attitudes. They work well as a team and don't become flustered when the line starts to grow. I realize for that this isn't the dream job or career choice for the younger girls who work there (90% of this store) but it's appreciated that their customer service skills, maturity and demeanor are ten times better than most young girls working around the mall or in similar positions. So, well done & thanks! ;) read more

It depends on the day as to whether or not you will get a customer service oriented person. The candy is the same as it always has been. Sometimes I will go in and I will get a person that will friendly and helpful and other times I will go in and its like the service is Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. I find it frustrating. You know that they always give a piece of candy. One time one of the gals was giving a piece and I said,"Oh no thank you. I cannot eat walnuts they make my tummy upset." She actually responded,"Ok. Well just throw it away then I cannot just give you something else." I was amazed. I did not understand the situation. Yet another time I went in and had a pleasant experience without issue. So like i said. I just never know what I am going to get with this location. read more

Woohoo! See's Candies is as good as it gets, candy-loving people!! The Novato store staff is very friendly -- and patient -- while one picks and chooses. Their candy is simply de-licious! :) They always give out freebies and if you want something different, they're happy to accommodate. :) Of course, 5 stars is the only rating to give. read more

Pretty much like all see's candies, very friendly staff and free samples! Also, expensive, Bought a few chocolates for some co workers, Ended up spending roughly 100$, Got to try many samples and the chocolate was delicious, this location is great because there are no lines at ALL! Most see's candies have lines, so it was nice to find one that doesn't. Will definitely be back if i'm ever in the area. read more

Went there at 11:15 on a weekday with my daughter who loves chocolate.. The door was locked, but the store looked like it's been open. There was another older lady who said she's been waiting for 5 minutes. I thought I'd knock once and wait for 5 minutes. Then comes a very angry fed up lady.. She unlocks the door and walks away.. Now, if I didn't have my baby, I would've walked away, but I put up with it for her sake.. We went there because she wanted lollipops and I wanted to see the possibility of xmas gifts from there.. By then, I totally gave up the idea of xmas gifts from there.. You'll get warmer welcome from the DMV! We got the lollipops, I paid and said thank you.. She didn't open her mouth to say anything.. Though her eyes said 'why don't you f off'.. Will never go there again, not sure if I even want to try other locations.. read more
