Today I stopped by for some treats for the family and I was INSTANTLY greeted by the security guard who opened the door for me and said good morning. The store was very busy and the small parking lot was so full. once I got in line I was greeted by a teeny tiny little voice - it was a worker named Marisol. She was so sweet and a bit timid, she did inform me that it was her very first day. She was kind and helpful and was pretty quick finding the chocolates I wanted for a newbie :) Just based on the security guard and Marisol I give this location 5 stars - and also shout out to the other workers who were helping others in the store I heard them providing great customer service to others in the store as well. :) Sorry no pics I was on a mission read more

What an amazing experience I just had at this See's! I went in with my 86 year old grandmother and she was so happy with our experience with Christina. She was so sweet to my grandmother and even let her pick her free sample. We don't get to See's as often cause the one by us closed down, but after this experience we will definitely make the trip to see my grandmothers new favorite person Christina. Thank you Christina for spoiling my grandmother with your kind heart and making her day. She was all smiles and couldn't stop talking about you the whole way home. See you soon! read more

Throughout the years this location has always been a go to for some serious emergency boxes. Service was welcoming as soon as I walked into the store. I love the plethora of specialty confections. Perfectly tempered chocolate with their iconic fillings, chewy caramel or crunchy goodness. Made it in just before closing and found exactly what I was looking for. Parking right in front with access to Vons grocery store or Riverside plaza shopping center. When you need that extra something with all the special touches Mary See's is the way to go. read more

See all

One of my favorite items here is their peanut brittle. Yes, the chocolate is a must and you need to confiscate a box before you leave the location, but the peanut brittle is one of my favorite along with their assortment of lollipops. The staff is friendly and always helpful. read more

I love this See's Candies location. The staff is always friendly and the store is always well stocked. With homeless roaming the area, they have a security guard assigned to this store. Too many times, there is security guard but they watch over the entire parking lot. This store has their own guard which gives me a piece of mind knowing someone is guarding the lot. I feel safe shopping here and leaving my car despite it only being for a few minutes. Thank you to Andra for the free samples. I will definitely be back for my next candy haul. read more

See's Candy continues to be the Disneyland of sugar--except no lines, no screaming children, and everyone hands you chocolate like it's a love language. The staff here? Absolute sweethearts. The kind of people who make you feel like you've wandered into a family reunion where everyone actually likes each other. The samples hit like tiny blessings. The chocolates taste like they were handcrafted by someone who whispers affirmations to cocoa beans. And the whole place smells like childhood, holidays, and good decisions. If joy had a storefront, it would be this See's. I walked out with a bag full of treats and a heart full of joy. read more

I would have given 5 stars because the chocolate is phenomenal but the staff at this location are a bit rude. I would rather go to other locations. read more

I've made multiple last minute stops here recently for last-minute holiday gifts. First, a shout-out to BARBARA at See's Candies! She's got that chocolate hospitality on lockdown. This lady is like the ultimate chocolate hostess with the mostess. She's not just helpful; she's like a chocolate ninja! She helped me score the perfect gifts (dude, I found the absolute PERFECT mug at See's!). Even though the place is PACKED, their peanut butter brittle, milk chocolate buttercreams and peppermint twists are worth the line. TIP: Next time you're brewing your favorite cup of coffee, add a peppermint twist to add the wow to your holiday cup of joe. read more

Just left See's candy , we stopped in to get some candy and we were helped by Mary V. Who was very helpful and kind. It's nice to see good old-fashioned customer service alive and well thank you Mary and thank you See's candy for keeping with tradition of customer service, quality and class. read more

This See's Candy and the ladies who work there are the absolute best. The shop is clean and welcoming, but what makes it special is the staff. They have treated myself and my father so well for so many years. Now that my dad can't come in for himself, I go in for him. Christina, Selena, and the other ladies still remember him and ask about him. These ladies deserve some recognition for their kindness, patience with shoppers, and fabulous service. read more

Great, friendly service, big selection, fully staffed so service is quick. Chocolates are always good quality and delicious. This is my favorite See's to stop at when I'm on my way to/from visiting my parents in the IE. It's right off the freeway and not inside of a mall, so easy to access too. read more

Always has plenty of samples milk and dark chocolate with nuts also sometimes they have a sample that I don't know and it to is delicious I love surprises like that read more

See's is always the best! Staff was nice and very helpful. Will continue to come to this location

The clerks are attentive to who comes in, in what order people get served. Always offering a sample and light conversation. No complaints. Please be kind to the ones serving us during the holiday season .they work tirelessly with large crowds. read more

Best candy. Love the samples and the customer service is the best. They're always very pleasant with smiles for everyone. Very courteous to the displaced community. I was impressed by their generosity and care. Absolutely recommend! read more

I wrote a review earlier this month but failed to highlight an employee who excels at her job. Her name is Michelle and she never fails to greet me cheerfully, advertise new products, remind me of coupons, and help me find exactly what I need for my students and staff. The day before Mother's Day the store was understandably busy. Michelle was busy filling orders at a break neck speed, and she still made time to greet each person entering the store. She also professionally let people know where to line up in this very small store. You are fortunate to have someone like Michelle representing See's Candies. Take good care of her! :) read more

New find for me in the lineup is the chocolate Raspberry! It's Divine you NEED TO TRY IT ! read more

It was after lunch, and I needed a dessert. I saw a Sees candy by my girl's house. I only get Dark chocolate Pecan buds because it's my mom's favorite candy. Today, I decided to get wild and sample an Almond Bud. The coolest and cutest lady ever, Kathy, helped me out. I told Kathy that the almond bud tastes a lot like the almond snickers bar. I never knew this, but Kathy told me that Sees has candy bars. She almost convinced me to buy a box. She knows I like caramel and pecans. She also almost had me buy a pecan butter scotch bar. At this time, I am loving Kathy. She is an expert at picking things that will appeal to your palate. We cracked a few jokes and laughed so hard. What a great lady. I could be friends with her. I wound up leaving with so much candy because I wanted to stay in speak with her longer. Such an amazing person. If you are reading this review, please visit Kathy, buy some stuff from her and tell her that you love her. She's incredible. read more

I contemplated leaving this review, but I have been bothered by my experience here since Christmas Eve, 12/24/23. The way that the manager was speaking to the other employees was deplorable, especially around the holidays. It was busy per usual (I go here often) but this is not the first time that I have heard Nancy speak rudely to her team members, or even other customers. She was nearly yelling at one team member and aggressively grabbed the sample tray from her. I am in HR in my company, and if this behavior was reported to me, she would AT MINIMUM be removed from managing other team members. Normally I do not leave reviews like this, but I have not returned to this location just because I do not want to feel uncomfortable like this again. read more

Very friendly service. Grace and Victoria are phenomenal!! Store is always clean and the selection is generous.

Wow, this little shop is great . Although you are not able to 'build your own box' they do carry all of the other treats. I even received samples in the way of wrapped hard candies and foil wrapped Easter eggs.I purchased scotch mallow eggs, chocolate chick eggs ,and hollow bunnies.I saw some other holiday favorites, but they'll have to wait.I liked that the customer service reps were attentive and I was in and out of the shop in less than 10 minutes.The shop is located in a strip mall consisting of offices and a few shops. read more

Christina waz super nice and helpful. We had a blast shopping for our candy today. Always enjoy the free samples. Love going to Sees!

I came here the morning of 10/9 and met just the nicest two ladies who were manning the store. They were helpful, very kind (I was rather hormonal) and the chocolate was amazing! I highly recommend this location!! read more

I'm not sure how these places stay in business. $25 for 1 lb of candy seems so ridiculous to me, but I'm glad that somehow someone is able to afford this. The lines weren't too bad and I bought something that my boss could give to someone. Personally, I would rather have the cash. Lol But I do love their Bordeaux candy (soft, no nuts- and sprinkles on top!) lol A dollar for the ribbon on the box! Damn, just so ridiculous! Oh well, Merry Christmas from me- the grinch. read more

Love this place. To my surprise only one couple was picking chocolate. Bought 7 pounds of chocolate for Xmas presents. Girls were so friendly & engaging. read more

As a frequent customer of this sweets sanctuary this location is my go to "home" for all treats chocolate. I was pleasantly welcomed by Michelle G. and Mary V. They were terrifically friendly and accommodating. Plus I think they can read my mind as they know what selections we're craving. Next time you are traveling on the 91 freeway through Riverside definitely get off at Central Avenue and visit this delightful location. You will not regret it read more

Yaaaaaasssssss oh my goodness, so much yes. I dont even like candy much anymore but i just asked my husband for 2 more pounds of chocolate, thaaaannk you Happy Valentine's Day! read more

About 3 weeks ago, I came to this See's to buy a giftcard for my Sees-aholic sister and was having a bad day. I was helped by Lacey, who was just awesome. She handed me my favorite (Scotchmallow) to sample. She was kind and before I left, she gave me another...she was just so nice and although she didn't say anything must have sensed my mood. Two weeks later I was craving See's, so I stopped by and was feeling way better. I saw Lacey and spoke to her and thanked her for being so nice that day. I noticed another employee working nearby whose ears seemed to perked up once I started to speak. I asked and yes, she was the manager. They both were just so nice, professional and uplifting. I got my candy and left there feeling like these ladies were crisis counselors with candy :) Thank you See's for making the best chocolate in the world and for hiring these wonderful ladies...I am grateful. read more

Christina is a wonderful See's associate. She always has great recommendations and make it fun to taste new flavors that are featured. Thank you Christina for making my experiences so memorable!! read more

I went to this location yesterday to get some chocolate for my wife on her birthday. Shelia helped me and she was wonderful!! She took the time to meet my needs and really appreciate it! I totally recommend this store to all my family and friends!! Thank you! read more

COVID-19 Only 3 customers allowed at a time, others must wait outside. You must wear a mask just as the employees are. We were able to custom built our box or purchase a prepacked one. The employees were helpful and very patient with allowing us to take our time in selecting the chocolate that we wanted and helped us select the kind of chocolates we would like. For those that would rather purchase online and pickup in the store, you have that option as well. read more

Nothing more frustrating than not being listened to by someone that is supposed to be providing you with a service! My family and I have routinely purchased See's Candy multiple times per year for the past 35 years. Today was the only time that I recall having a very frustrating experience. When I arrived, no one was in line but I stood away from the glass waiting to be called. Michelle G. said she could assist me. When I walked forward it appeared she was still doing something else behind the counter. Michelle asked what size box I wanted. She was still focused on her previous task and pretended she could not find the appropriate box. Her hands were visible and full from the task she had been working on. When I requested items such as milk chocolate almond, peppermint patties and other flavors that are sold with two in one cup, she asked if I wanted one or two. I pointed out two pieces of candy come in 1 cup so I just want one. We repeated this same issue at least three times. Each time I pointed out I wanted one cup which contains 2 pieces of candy. While I was still ordering, she asked her co-worker to do something unrelated to my order or any other client. Since Michelle was focused on something other than me, she had to ask me to repeat my selections. I told her I don't know which ones you have packed and which ones you missed. If she had been focused on me versus talking to her colleague, she would have heard and retained what I had requested. I asked for a separate bag with a few pieces. She made a comment about being able to put multiple pieces in the bag. My response was, yes I am aware. Michelle asked what occasion the candy was for and I replied saying, Father's Day. When I got home, I discovered she wrapped it in ugly plain white paper. Why wrap a white box in white paper??? I have ALWAYS been given a choice of wrapping paper. I would have definitely chosen the black and white check. The wrapping was horrible too! It was not tight and looked like it had been wrapped by someone without any experience. I will most likely re-wrap it myself to make it look more presentable and appealing. Upon checking out, I was using gift cards I had purchased at Costco. One card appeared to be empty but she had me swipe it a second time. Michelle asked if she could throw away the card. I said, no I want to keep it. Michelle followed up by saying there was not a balance. Once again, I asked for the card. Why is she arguing with me instead of returning the card to me? Michelle said the gift card number used for purchase is on the receipt and said she would point it out. I said, I am familiar and can find it. After the receipt printed, she circled the number and told me there is an 800# I can call. Talking about missing cues! I clearly indicated I am familiar, yet she is still making me wait while she goes on about something I did not ask about. Finally I had to ask for my receipt so I could leave. As I left, I pointed out we had been out of sync the entire time. I could tell she thought I was the issue! Talk about being clueless as to what your customer wants. The store in Redlands ALWAYS provides impeccable service, even during this past year with CovID restrictions. read more

See's candies is known for a great customer experience. This location lives up to that and surpasses the average experience. The staff is so friendly and jolly, which can reallly brighten your day. Every time I come here I buy more than I plan to because the team is so warm and inviting. See's chocolates are delicious but it's the amazing service that makes them sweet! read more

I'm a die hard See's fan. Been a loyal customer for years.. it's sad that I have to write this review but Michelle G. kills the vibe. She's terrible. Rude, loud, arrogant and aggressive. A terrible representation of See's Candies read more

Yes of course im happy the store is back open and couldn't wait to get my hands on a pecan bud but what made the moment great was the service from Andrea Leon she brought joy a lady came in the store and was not happy the store had run out of a candy and would not be delivered until the next day and Andrea handled it like a pro thank you Andrea during these times for being so professional read more

I just stopped into the Sees Candy in the Riverside Plaza. I was helped by Mary V and she was exceptional!! Her customer service was amazing. She was friendly, helpful and even gave me a sugar free sample which was delicious. It's sad in this day and age when we have to literally be shocked when things are done right. We need more "Mary V's" in retail. read more

Always so nice and delicious! If you enjoy sees that are given to you during the holidays it's worth it to go in and get a box of exactly what you want! The samples are better than Costco read more
