Box of chocolates..
Javier S.

Nothing less than perfect! From the delicious variety of chocolates to the wonderfully friendly staff, See's Candies is a perfect place for something great! I love coming here again and again!!

*See's & Desert Palm Trees* Had no idea See's recently moved into this location in Rancho Mirage...and if Gelson's wasn't next-door, I probably wouldn't know they're here. I'm thrilled...but also not so thrilled because it's going to be very hard to resist the temptation to indulge with my favorite childhood candy & candy shop. See's isn't for everyone...but it's still one of the tops on my list. There's only a few things I wouldn't eat here. But. It's very difficult to forgo my 3 all-time favs: Dark Chocolate Scothmallows, Dark Choc Molasses Chips...and drumroll please |\|\|\ Scotch Kisses -- the most underrated and least known in the See's Candies massive collection. If you like butterscotch & marshmallow (without chocolate) do the deed and you won't regret it. And here's a Scott Scotch Kiss Tip: they're wrapped in wax paper -- stick em in the freezer until they're frozen -- take it out of the freezer one at a time -- let it sit for just a couple/few minutes -- unwrap -- indulge -- enjoy -- repeat -- thank me later. However, they're pretty damn good at room temperature and in the fridge too. I'm thankful for See's because every time I step foot inside, no matter the location, I'm always immediately greeted with a warm welcome and offered a free sample. Yes please, some more See's for me. Ever since I was a little kid, I always select the Dark Choc Molasses Chips...why? Because there's 3 pieces and it lasts longer :) And no matter if you walk in to just browse, buy one piece, 5 pieces, one box or 10, they always offer that free sample. It's no wonder whenever I'm here, I feel like a (big) kid in a candy store. Love the traditional black & white uniforms & sweaters the team always wears...love how the entire shop is also black & white...it's so organized...and always sparkling clean. This Rancho Mirage location is no different than all the dozens of See's Candies I've been to (mostly Century City and Marina del Rey -- which I've written reviews for) But those other candy shops don't have Yadi working there. She is/was so sweet & kind...and such a breath of fresh air, I could barely smell all the scents of chocolate & candy floating and circulating in the shop :) Located in a nice corner strip mall on Bob Hope & Gerald Ford with plenty of parking. There's also a Chase Bank, Chevron, a few restaurants, a salon/spa, a nail shop etc etc...and of course Gelson's too. Too bad See's is closed on Sundays because I could go for some right now... I could on & on about trivial facts, fond childhood & family memories...and the history of See's Candies & Mary See dating back to 1921. But thou shall refrain (you'll just have to search for my other reviews) so drop everything you're doing and head on over there. Right now. And get yourself some Scott Scotch Kisses -- stick em in the freezer -- ignite your lips -- tingle your tastebuds...warm your heart...and fuel your soul.

My purchases today. YUM!

They have the best assortment of chocolates around it. They're consistently great if they were any closer, I'd be in big trouble.

Really blown away by this little, local business. (Well maybe not so 'little'...a friend of mine…read moretold me some of their items are carried at some Ralph's in the area?) That same friend is getting married in Palm Springs next month and pulled together a cute location-inspired care package to go with her invitation to guests. It's a virtual wedding, so she wanted to bring the experience of being in Palm Springs for all. Included a bag of this toffee caramel corn and let me just tell you...(and a few other recipients agree)...this stuff is ADDICTIVE. The absolute, most delectable caramel corn I have had in my life. Jam-packaged with decadent flavor, and quality corn, each cluster is HEAVEN and unlike anything I have tasted. I immediately got online (palmspringscandy.com) and ordered a sampling of bags. To my surprise, these treats are surprisingly affordable. For a mere $4-$6, you can snag a 7 oz bag in a variety of flavors. Or, go a full jar if your heart desires. Conversely, they also offer 3 oz bags in some flavors. (Note: shipping is around $9 but totally worth it if you're buying multiples, and is offset by the low cost of each bag). I snagged Toffee Caramel, Toffee Caramel with Cashews/Almonds, Honey Macadamia, and Praline Pecan. Drool. I was stunned when my order arrived just days later, perfectly packed including tissue and bubble wrap. Inside the package, a thank you message jotted down on the invoice, handwritten by Staci. A simple gesture, but one I always feel especially meaningful, as I typically only see personal touches like this with Etsy orders/smaller business. So, excellent customer service indeed. Very impressed and so happy to have discovered this gem. Thank you to Staci and team! You have converted a new, now long-term customer. 5 stars right at you.

Visiting from out of town & wanted to bring home special treats for family. I found the perfect…read moregifts at Palm Springs Candy Company. Who can resist the freshest, buttery, toffee-cashew-almond-caramel-corn that is sooo delicious, made weekly on site & travels well in 110 degree heat!?! For an addtl $1, you can even choose a pretty cellophane wrapped 16 oz plastic tub, ready to gift! (of this flavor only) Note: I should add that I only purchased this item today. There's much more to consider buying & the nicest lady behind the counter is happy to help!

After finishing up at Lolli and Pop, we spotted Balboa Candy right across the street and had to…read morelaugh because we live in Newport and visit the Balboa Candy there all the time. We immediately wondered if it was the same owner and sure enough it is. This Palm Springs spot is their second location and it felt like a little piece of home for us. We could not resist grabbing another bag of candy to support a favorite local shop. They had all the classics we know and love from Newport including the huge variety of house made taffy, baseball chew, and every kind of sour candy you can think of. Everything was fresh and displayed so nicely that it is impossible to walk out empty handed. The staff here are just as friendly as the team back home and the store is spotless and fun for kids and adults alike. Whether you are visiting Palm Springs or a local with a sweet tooth this is an easy recommendation. It is the perfect spot to pick up treats for yourself or to share and it definitely made our anniversary weekend even sweeter.

Can't ask for more in a candy store. Similar to the one in actual Balboa, this place is a haven of…read moretaffy filled barrels with all kinds of weird flavors.

Due to the oppressive heat, Jamie W and I were in the mood for a date shake. Like real bad. We had…read morejust finished a cocktail combing expedition on E Arenas Road and decided something thick, sweet, and suckable was needed in a non-alcoholic setting. Now we could've gone to Great Shakes (review: https://yelp.to/mzOC66QAth), but there was a line and we just had no patience. So we walked over to this place because only a handful of people were in here. It wasn't a shake shack but a sweets shop, an old-fashioned, family-run operation. There was just one woman behind the counter, and she was busily handling orders for chocolates and candied apples. We waited our turn and ordered a couple of the $7.99 Date Shakes (Photo 9). They were fine, even without the mini-donuts Great Shakes serves with theirs. I need to give her credit for making it from scratch without any help from the rest of the family. FOOD - 3 stars...good date shake, no frills AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...look at all those sweets! SERVICE - 4 stars...she works hard for the money TOTAL - 3 stars...a sweet tooth goes far here RELATED - Exploring Palm Springs?

There is so…read moremuch potential here, but what you have is an aging store that is more "needs attention" than intentional nostalgia. The candy is old and definitely not fresh, the date shakes were meh at best (tragic, considering where it's located) and a cashier that seems as happy to be here are the stale candy and outdated decor. Definitely a "will not return" and that's a shame.
