We have some friends who loved See's and we always pick some up when we visit. This location was on the way. Great friendly staff as always and it is silly but I love the samples. read more

"Sarah" the store assistant- Amazing service. I received a warm and friendly Hello. Made me feel like I was in the right place shopping for Chocolates as a Mothers Day gift. She even was kind enough to suggest a gift bag and help pick one out. Kudos to Sarah and the other kind associate that was there as well. read more

Jonhely was super sweet and helpful! Would come back just for her! Helped us with some samples and her favs read more

See's Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I love See's chocolates, they have been my favorite since I was a kid! I've been to this location a handful of times, no issues, and usually it's not too packed. Today when we came in for our early Valentine's Day gift to each other we noticed there was a very loud rude lady barking at people from behind the counter, but luckily for us she took her negative juju and moved to the register and we had a lovely tall lady named Sarah serve us who had a very kind and sweet disposition. I'm excited to taste my personally curated box of yum! read more

Always great service! The ladies that work there are super sweet's and provide great customer service with a smile. And the free samples made my evening. Thank you read more

I used to go to this See's when I was a little girl! It has been in the same spot for over 50 years. It is still the same with wonderful employees who greet you with a kind smile and a sample. Love the California toffee. The best chocolates in the country. Best location as well. Such a cute little shop! Will be going back again and again! read more

Can't go wrong with see's candy! Of course because of the time of the year the line way long!

Not very friendly staff! I am so disappointed. The assistant manager needs customer service training. We usually go to Sunnyvale Store unfortunately they are now closed. We miss the excellent service they've provided. read more

See's is my favorite chocolate maker. This is a smaller location at an odd location on the corner of a busy street. Small awkward parking. They have everything see's has to offer. Today I went to get the centennial Christmas tree ornament and some gifts for the holidays. read more

See all

I went there on one Saturday. I was very pleased with my visit. I. Bought chocolate See's cans. They are on sale and much cheaper than ones I bought in SFO airport. The ladies were very helpful. Definitely will go back when I need See's candies read more

parking lot can be small when you go close to a holiday, but usu i can find parking when i'm stopping by to buy a gift. the workers here are friendly & see's is my go to for chocolates or for gifts! my fav is the dark chocolate chip truffle & the milk beverly! :) there's also an option to choose what chocolates you want in a box or if you're running low on time, they also have prepackaged boxes. i like choosing my own for a box b/c you're able to customize it w/ the person you're giving it to's preference! read more

My friend and I stopped in this store since she has a sweet tooth. Her craving was chocolates from Sees. So, on the way to dinner, as we drove past the Sees, she made a turn into Sees. She said she wanted to purchase some Sees candies for herself. Haha, she bought a box of different assortments. Like the saying goes "Life is a box of chocolates." read more

See's Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Good morning, I am writing an addendum to my first email back in December 2023 regarding my grandmother, children and I feeling unwelcome in a Colorado See's Candy store and how it broke our hearts. Our faith has been restored by "Scoot" at the 3310 El Camino Real Santa Clara, CA 95051 See's Candy Store!  My dear grandmother passed away suddenly just 2 weeks ago and we all traveled to Santa Clara, California for her memorial. So many generations gathered to honor her  and the long history of our See's Candy magical experiences surfaced over and over in our conversations. A group of us, my brothers included, decided after her graveside service that we needed some See's Candy. The perfect way to satisfy our sweet tooth after a difficult day and at the same time remember priceless times spent with our grandmother and her parents as well--such a long and special tradition. I was hesitant to take my children whose spirits were dashed from our 2023 experience when my grandmother visited us and my son summed it up nicely "she's (assistant manager helping us) from the South Pole, I'm going to leave now" referring to the Elf movie and elves that have lost their magic and spirit.  We hadn't even walked through the door when Scoot greeted us with a huge smile (we could see it in her eyes-even though she was wearing a mask!) and a platter of samples. It was like coming home. She emanated the spirit and magic of See's and attended to our every need as if she could do a thousand things at once. It was clear we were so very welcome and had her full attention to all of our confectionarry desires. She seemlessing floated from one family member to another making a connection that was honest and palpable. It was quite easy to see she loved her job and her customers even before I read her name tag stating she has been an employee for 45 years! Wow! Just wow! The warmth, generosity, history and connection we received from Scoot was a gift from heaven. I showed her a picture of my grandma visiting the store just a few weeks prior and she teared up. She knew her! She said she would pass the sad news of her passing to the See's Candy "family" that worked in the store and that they all knew their customers so well. I believe Grandma was with us and brought us to that particular store our family has visited since shortly after it was built in the 1930's and that Scoot was who she chose to restore our hope in See's. Thank you Scoot- you touched our hearts so deeply! With warmth and gratitude, The Zollo, Moots, Merrell, Welpton, Cruz and Garcia Families read more

We are within walking distance of the See's at Valley Faire, but prefer shopping at this one. It has lots of parking, the employees are very nice and they give tons of free samples when you buy anything! We went in today, and I only spent about $12, but the clerk gave me two big handfuls of black licorice samples ( I did not even know you could get black licorice at See's!) and a handful of chocolate covered walnut samples! read more

Great place to get a gift. The ladies that work here are super nice and friendly. Appreciate the great service, the chocolate is bomb!

I love See's Candies. My favorite pieces of candy from here are called Scotchmallows and I also like the Walnut Squares, which remind me of the Milky Way Midnight bar and the now-defunct Oh Henry! bars, respectively. Whenever I wanted a cheaper alternative to the See's Candies I would reach for those bars but now that Oh Henry! bars are no longer made I have to buy Walnut Squares but splurging now and then isn't really a big deal. I came here on Monday to buy a 1 pound box to dig into. Sometimes the candy here isn't very fresh but it was this time around. The Scotchmallows are a dark chocolate, marshmallowy and caramel delight which is what good comfort candy is all about! The Walnut Squares are a nutty and chocolatey delight that is not as sweet as you think it would be and they are so good I don't think anybody could eat just one. I only get these two candies when I go here and I will only EVER get those two whenever I go to a See's Candies. The shops seem to be stuck in perpertual time machine straight out of the 40's. They really are " olde tyme " and they have a very throwback charm to them that I also revel in whenever I go visit one. Why do the employees always seem to look the same? They usually are older White ladies who have coiffes of gray or White hair or older gentlemen who seem very distinguished and sort of grandfatherly. It must be because the hiring practices at these places dictate that they meet a certain standard that the founder wanted, I guess. These places are kinda like wax museums to me except they have the delights you would find in a game of Candyland! Don't ever change, See's Candies. :) read more

Always the best. Came for Valentine's day to pick up gifts for the family, coworkers and neighbors. Excellent quality; one days pay for that quality. . . Great customer service. Excellent Covid precautions. read more

The staff was professional and friendly. We stopped by abt 15 minutes before they closed on Sunday. They still offered us a piece of candy when we entered. read more

WE LOVE SCOOT!!! We just stopped by for a little treat and she helped us find exactly what we needed!

What happened!!?? No free samples, very rude woman rushing customers out the door and they weren't even close to closing! Very sad, we won't be coming back to this location... read more

After causing such a ruckus for my neighbors downstairs, decided to present them with a box of See's candies. Who doesn't like chocolate? The options are always hard for me to choose from, box of assorted or nuts and chews? Went with the assorted, in case they're allergic to peanuts, and got my free sample as well! The parking here is a bit tight, but it's always a quick and easy experience. They're coming out with dark chocolate bluerberries soon, can't wait! read more

They have the best customer service!! Whether it be a phone call or answering questions within the store!! Best candy ever!!!

Worst See's candy store! Two rude women were working there when I went today (12/28 at 12:45 pm). None of them even say hi or do eye contact. No assistant received when I asked for help. I was the only customer at that time. Not recommended. BTW- no free samples. read more

This location has been around for evah... Driving down El Camino Real, you could tell what time of the year is was by looking at the See's Candy marquee. Mother Day, Valentine's Day, St. Patty's, Christmas - all seasons were appropriate for See's Candy. As a child (ok - you guys do the math) I would come here to purchase boxes to send to out of state relatives during the holidays. I always loved that you were offered a free sample as you drooled over the glass cases of chocolate. Good memories of good times. read more

No, life is not like a box of chocolates. Life doesn't let you look at a picture order sheet, try samples, and then pick exactly what you want to get. See's chocolate truffles are awesome. Their other chocolates are pretty good... not life-changing, but still preferred over Russell Stover's or the like. Quality is always consistent. I had never actually bought See's until recently... I'd only gone with my mom as a kid. (Even back then, the best part of a See's visit was the free samples!) It's now something like $16.90 per pound, where a pound is about 20-24 pieces. Yikes. Service was excellent! Friendly and professional from the initial greeting to the final farewell. Choice of free sample (from an assorted box) while you browse, plus another free chocolate after you complete your purchase. You can buy pre-packed (1 lb or 2 lb for most varieties... 8 oz or 3 lb available for some), or have an employee custom-pack a box with all your favorites. Free special wrapping if you're buying a box for a special occasion like a birthday. Choco diem... See's the day! Candy: 4 stars Value: 3 stars Service: 4.5 stars Overall: 4 stars read more

Patience is bliss - but waiting can be a pain; 25 minutes and although I waited patiently, I received poor service from sees at this location. Go else where. I find it odd that someone said they were there at the same time - as if they had all 3 customers at the store were kind and wonderful to each other; the clerks on this day however showed lack of customer satisfaction skills/ I grew up a Sees kid = meaning for birthdays one of my favorite presents to get was a small box of Sees candies, possibly molasses chips. Now a days, I have a real hankering for their peanut brittle. as such, I give Sees candy itself a solid 4 or 5. This store is usually ok in customer service - until today. Ugh. I went in at 2:00 to buy a simple box of peanut brittle - nothing more. The sales clerk gave me a sample and then ignored me. There were 2 other customers in the store - it got to be 2:15 (Fifteen minutes time) and the first customer was still being served. She was buying a one pound box of chocolates; and a half pound box of chocolates and she was determined to ask about each and every chocolate in the store. The customer however was nice and wanted the other customers to be served first as she knew she was going to take her time. The sales clerk however refused to listen to this advise from the customer. Then the 2nd clerk returns - she parks her car and then hides out in the back of the store, closing the door, and ignoring the fact that there were now 4 customers in the store. 15 minutes and no one has been fully served yet - and the store clerk seems to not care a hoot. I asked if the 2nd clerk was coming out soon as all I wanted to do was buy a box of candy (a 30 second transaction) and be on my way. The first customer was still trying to decide what candies to put in her 1/2 pound box of chocolate- humming and hawing; trying to decide (20 minutes now - tick tock tick tock). The clerk said - no way, the 2nd clerk is on her break and how rude of us to ask. She did not seem to care if she was rude to the customers completely. She started yelling that we were so inpatient and can't we see that there are 2 customers in front. These 2 customers came to my rescue and said it was ok if I was allowed to go ahead and buy the box of candy - since that is all I wanted. The clerk stomped her feet; said in about 200 words that there was no way she could do that. 2 clerks - no customers served; now it was 25 minutes time. My patience is draining rapidly - I ask if its ok to buy it - its only a 30 second transaction; the other customers say yes, go ahead. and then the sales clerk finally did what she should have done 20 minutes before, all the time complaining and whining. In short, this clerk does not share See's candy values...There are other See's outlets so search for them instead. .....or have plenty of time on your hands and be willing to put up with rude sales clerks. Love Sees Hate this store now - go to another Sees store for better customer service. Its too bad as some of the other employees here are nice - but if you get two bad apples it can spoil the charm of this place immediately. Also there is plenty of parking here - behind and in front of the store - Its hard to see the back lot from the street. If only the store employees parked there instead of taking the spots closest to the door since they will be there for hours. That is why you often see it so crowded there. read more

Great candy! Although I should start referring to this place as "the black hole of El Camino." I can't help but get sucked in each time in passing. And there's always a good excuse. Halloween. Baby Shower. Heck, it's Monday. No excuses needed with this place. Staff are always friendly and service is speedy. read more

You are in a place surrounded by everything chocolate! And I mean all kinds ! Remember to never come here when you're hungry. You'll end up buying more than you wanted to :). Plus there's a free sample too if the chocolate of your choice. Delicious stuff ! read more

First, See's itself. Compared to, I guess, a Hershey's bar, it's not cheap, but if you want some good chocolate truffles without breaking the bank, you're going to end up here. It's cool that this chain has been around as long as it has and while I sometimes feel bad for the workers to have to wear those uniforms, it certainly has a unique style. And samples are awesome, of course! Next, this specific location. Like Claudia N., I've always had a good experience here. When I decide to get a whole box, I can be pretty darn indecisive, and I imagine it might have been a bit frustrating for the person working there, but she was patient throughout, probably moreso than average. And really, that's all you can ask for. Dang, now that I've written this I need to restrain myself from going to buy some! read more

I have been visiting this shop for several years now with nary a negative experience. Here is is... late July 2020 and after months of living through this Santa Clara County COVID quarantine, I was heavily craving some See's chocolates. Lo and behold, I just discovered this shop was open for online order pickup. Yes!!! It was fast and easy and I was thrilled with the selection of chocolates and candies. Also, the staff generously included some sample chocolates (safely wrapped, of course), just like they do with an in-store experience. I will be back again soon to pick up more See's chocolates! Thank you for adding a small sweet spot to my otherwise sad summer. read more

I came in here to buy Christmas gifts for a few friends. I could have bought myself a box of chocolates, but I remembered it's Christmas and I should be buying for my loved ones. But being in this place is just so tempting! =) I may have to go back during a lunch break to get myself a box, since it's so close to my job. The ladies were very friendly. I got my sample while I was shopping and even a to-go sample after paying for my stuff. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is my go to place when I want a quiet shopping experience for yummy chocolates. I always find those hard to find season items like chocolate turkey (Thanksgiving) and the Easter eggs. I often come to this location to build-my-own special boxes of chocolate. Most big locations are sold out of particular items but this location, being smaller with less customer traffic, usually have all the items I need. The staff is super nice and always ready to help too. The only downer is the location is small and parking lot is super tiny. read more

We stopped in this past Sunday to pick up some holiday gifts. We tried some samples (too many!) and ended up taking a box home as well!

Rude, unprofessional and racist I went in to this store and walked out empty handed and disgusted I waited in line for 10 minutes in from of 2 gentlemen. We were never greeted and finally a Frederick who I later found out what the manger was outright rude. No samples no greeting and to make matters worse as soon as the guys in front of me walked out he shouted to his co worked that they were obviously using a stolen credit card even though they paid cash for their purchased gift cards. Frederick is obviously prejudiced and has no clue how to treat customers. I walked out in disgust read more

This See's candy shop is like traveling back into time long gone. Top notch service. Makes you feel like a thousand bucks. I visit it maybe 3-5 times a year to buy a box of assorted chocolate and have always been impressed. If it was a gas station, they'd pump the gas, air up your tires, check the oil and wash your windows. Thank you See's on El Camino. read more

Employee of this location seems to not like particular looks or race of customer. When she gave a sample chocolate to the customer in the floor, I've observed employees kept avoid a particular person (race) by changing her directions and talking to other customers (not that same race as the one she avoid). Even the person in front of her, still not offer sample or say hello to the person. I saw this at least twice in this store in the different times. It was obvious to others. Other locations do not have this issue. Candy itself is good and no difference among other See's Candy store, so, I prefer to go other location. read more

This was such a disappointing location. My first and last visit. I ordered a custom 1 pound box online, as I usually do. Upon pick up, the gentleman helping was extremely rude. Perhaps he should've taken the day off. They didn't give any samples like all the other locations I've been to. Lastly and most importantly, my box was short of chocolate pieces and had empty spaces between. Maybe 20 piece or less and it's usually 24-26. Please be consistent and provide your customers the same experience as other See's locations. read more

My kid ate my sample, the lady refused to let me try another one. She gave me a speech about each person can only have one. Bought two boxes and left. We will try a different location next time. read more
