I grew up going to this See's location, and I'm pretty sure it's been here for well over 25 years. Walking in always feels a little nostalgic with the same classic black-and-white look, and of course, the smell of chocolate that instantly makes your day better. Dark Walnut Squares are delicious as are the Almond Royals. See's is easily one of the best chocolatiers in the world. If you're in the area, stop by! It's a little slice of Pleasant Hill history wrapped in chocolate.

Doggy toy
Tara L.

Walked in on what started as a terrible Monday (looking for a sweet reward after dealing with the public) and ended as an AMAZING one once I left, all thanks to Bernadette! I perused the shelves for a minute (noticing a doggy toy for $6 with a 1lb or more purchase!) while We talked about life & people, and how happy chocolate made us (especially when people aren't being sweet) it was a total vibe. I picked out my favs, along with a few recommendations from Bernadette & got my puppy his "Doggie-ettes" toy. I would say I'd return but B & I agreed that I was never here....

One pound box
Kev H.

My brother and I were there yesterday on Friday around noon and the girl behind the counter at the shop who helped us was so wonderful and friendly. We got the one-pound box and we were a little indecisive with what we wanted, but she was really patient with us. She really accommodated us by letting us take our time making decisions on which chocolate candies that we wanted. And there was so much to choose from. I loved the variety that they offered. And, at the end, she gave us complementary chocolate candy each, and I opted for the Bordeaux which was absolutely delicious. The price for the one-pound box was $32 as of June of 2024. While it might be a little pricey for me, the chocolate candies were just delectable. I especially enjoyed one of their new additions: the birthday cake chocolate, which tasted just like a delicious birthday cake pop. The chocolate shop itself was very clean, neat, and organized. The shop was fully air-conditioned against the hot summer outside, so it felt really nice to be inside. It was a nice shopping experience through and through. Parking was extremely easy as well. On a Friday at noon, we were probably the only car at the parking lot.

I've been going to See's Candies for years! I love the varieties of chocolates (Most of them), especially the peanut butter ones and chocolate peanut clusters! I bought a assortment box for my wife on her birthday and she enjoyed it!

Chocolates!

CHOCOLATE! Who doesn't love some good ol See's candy This location has an older looking exterior and it makes it feel super cool like walking into some throwback nostalgia shop. The employees were very nice! Offered us free samples immediately and were very patient as we examined our choices. We ended up purchasing a half pound of that yum yum. The worker who rung us up threw in a coupon for our next our purchase. That's how they're gunna keep us coming back lol. Cause we definitely will!

Our selection of yummy confections!
Jen H.

The service at this See's candy store is impeccable. Bernadette remembered my husband from the last time he came in and just greeted him like he was an old friend. Janus also welcomed us with a warm hello. They asked us which sample we would like instead of just giving us some random ones we wouldn't like. We always like creating our own box and Bernadette was so patient with us as we made our selections. She even encouraged us to try some different ones we would like based off our preferences and they were perfect! Bernadette and Janus are just the nicest ladies who remind me of those sweet grandmas with that warm and loving hospitality. Rae is pretty cool too!

Candy counter line
Emily L.

Normally I go to the location on Monument because this location is always busy! Well, that was certainly the case 5 days before Christmas but it was on my way, it was my grandmas Christmas present and I can wait if needed. There were 2 long lines because only 2 people were working. I felt so bad for them! They needed more help and it didn't hep when a grumpy old man complained about them and the line. All this aside the employees were amazing! I would have been so frantic but the customer service didn't waiver!

Amazing Chocolate Class & Delicious Treats!…read more I'm rating this based solely on the chocolate class and their chocolates--I haven't visited their pop-up store in Concord, but I had the pleasure of attending their class in Oakland. First off, the chocolate is absolutely delicious! Second, the owners are incredibly kind and accommodating. The entire family is so welcoming and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky to have our class led by the owner himself, Michael Dunn, who made the session both informative and fun. Parking was conveniently located right in front of their Oakland location, and we were fortunate to have a smaller, more intimate class. Everything was well-organized--from the hairnets and aprons to the chocolates and dipping stations. They shared insights into the chocolate-making process, along with a bit of history and its significance, which added a cool educational aspect to the experience. This is such a fun activity, whether you're with family, on a date, or even solo. Honestly, it would also make for a fantastic work team-building event! And the best part? Taste testing! Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. Thank you for an amazing class and incredible chocolates!

This is the most wonderful dessert. As the business name says, this is a giant caramel apple…read morecovered with caramel and then chocolate. Nuts cover the chocolate. The apple is a Fuji apple. I've purchased this apple several times at Rachel Dunn Chocolates, which was a chocolate shop on Detroit Ave. in Concord. The apple is juicy and sweet. The caramel is just the right amount so it's not overly sweet. I ordered one for dessert for Christmas. It's refreshing after a big dinner.The apple is huge, and it easily can serve 8 people with a good size wedge. The literature that comes with the apple says it can serve 8 to 12 people. It's best to take the apple out of the refrigerator 8 hours before serving so that the caramel and chocolate are easily sliced. Once we forgot and then the chocolate was brittle and broke into pieces when we sliced it.Customer service is great. I wasn't able to get through on the phone line to order so I sent an email. This was 4 days before Christmas, and I didn't think anyone would actually get back to me, but someone called! I was able to get my order in and have this for Christmas. It comes in a pretty gift box.

"Coco Swirl" is a nice little frozen yogurt shop in Pleasant Hill…read more It was a warm day, and I had a need for something cold. Using the Yelp app as a search engine, I found Coco Swirl. It has a simple layout, with five fro-yo machines, one size of cup, basic toppings and some tables inside. Price per Ounce: 80 cents They allow sampling. I took a serving of Irish Mint, Chocolate/ Vanilla, and Coconut. Added some Lychee Jelly and some Jelly Balls. It was good, but I miss the tart and fruity flavors like Pineapple, Mango and Passion fruit. Service was prompt and friendly. They also offer teas, milk tea, and Redbull Infusion. I was told that Coco Swirl is an independent store, and isn't part of a chain. I would definitely return if I'm in the area.

Turns out the store is closed at 8:38pm when google and iPhone gps says they close at 9pm. The girl who came to the door after she saw us outside said they were closed and that she didn't know why it said online that they close at 9pm that probably those were summer hours. If those are simmer hours hours must be updated immediately since there's people like us that drive a long way to get here to enjoy a yogurt on a night off and getting there and the place off is a disappointment and inconvenient since we came from a long distance.

This was our first time at a Paris Baguette, and given that it's a 40-minute drive from home, this…read morewas a well-planned and anticipated visit. The location is easy to get to, with lots of parking behind in a lot, and it's very clean, with lots of chairs and tables; yet all were filled this Saturday evening, which is a good sign. There are too many pastries, treats, and drinks to even cover, and we spent a few minutes trying to find our choices, which you mainly pick from cabinets using a self-serve tray and tongs. For drinks and cake (whole or sliced), you order those at the counter. We decided on some pastries, some cake slices, and a drink. And S'mores was the predominant theme today. We ordered a raspberry fruit bite, 2 chocolate supreme croissants, 2 S'mores Belgian waffles, a sugar mochi donut, a coffee donut croissant, 2 slices of S'mores chocolate marshmallow cake, and a slice of rainbow cake. We also got the cream cheese puff and the crème brûlée bombolone ... quite the name! And, of course, a S'mores frappe! The server helping us at the register was polite and efficient, but there was only one register open and a long line. As such, other folks were helping gather the goodies from the cake case, and as we were taking these to go, we did not realize until we were home that the rainbow cake was not a rainbow cake, but a THIRD slice of S'mores cake. Ugh. That one was chosen by the 8-year-old, who was understandably not happy, and the additional insult of paying extra (above the cost of the S'mores) for a cake we didn't get made ME unhappy too! Paid $8.29, got a $6.99 cake slice. The pastries are generally good, with some very good and some more of a "meh." Among the best were the raspberry fruit bite and the coffee donut croissant. That coffee one was a surprise, as it had a soft liquid filling we didn't realize when buying, and the taste was very coffee, which I loved. Will get that again for sure. The S'mores chocolate supreme croissant was also popular. The crème brûlée bombolone was different, with a light pastry and a filling different from what I usually find in crème puffs, and it was tasty. The waffles were not a light and airy as we would have liked, but the flavor was good. The mochi donut was a bit dry as well, not up to true Japanese bakery standards, and the cream cheese puff was all puff and short on the cream cheese (see photos). And the S'more cake was good for flavor, very rich and S'morey, but the presentation really is lacking. Not that I normally compare one chain to another, but for example, when we get Crumbl, the product is very close to the advertising. Not so with the S'more cake, and I am not even sure all the layers were there and in the proper order or proportion; check out the photos and see what I mean. However, the flavor was spot on, and that is the ultimate goal, although the "eyes eat first," as we Yelpers know! And the highlight was not a pastry or cake, but the S'more frappe. It was layered beautifully, fresh-tasting, and very S'morey (yes, a new word I now love!). We even got a second, as we had to eat this there so it could be shared by the group, and it was calling us! Definitely hope it is available next visit, and Starbucks could take a lesson in quality versus price point. Some of the pastries here are really not worth the cost for the product (would skip the cream cheese puff, for example, and the mochi donut), but everything else was very good. Other than an error in fulfilling the order correctly and a couple a poor pastries (quality), it was a good first visit, and we all would come back when near a location.

I needed my coffee fix and some breakfast, found this location along the way to my Destination…read more Even for early morning, they had a good selection of pastries out to choose from. Grabbed a few pastries-- all were flaky and delicious. Probably even better if it were warm. I was in a time crunch so didn't ask for it.
