I won a See's gift certificate at my company's White Elephant Gift Exchange this year, so I stopped in to pick up some chocolates. This was between Christmas and New Year's, so the store was pretty empty. The friendly woman behind the counter gave me and my friend chocolate samples right away. I really like dark chocolate covered almonds and quickly found a pre-packaged bag of them. There were a few dollars left on the gift card so my friend grabbed a couple butterscotch lollipops. When we were leaving, the worker gave us each several more samples to take with us. It was very generous of her. See's was part of my childhood and going there brings back fond memories. read more

I wanted to stop by here, while we were on the mall, to pick up some Christmas gifts. We were warmly welcomed once inside. It's extremely busy in there. It's not too big inside so it can get crowded. I made my selections and waited to check out. There was a lot of confusion on who was next. We were finally helped and we were able to select a chocolate of our choice for our free sample. I also had a coupon that I was able to use. I'm glad we took care of that because I know it's only going to get busier as we get closer to the holidays. read more

Located on the 2nd floor of the Valley Fair Mall atop Nordstrom, came here after a horrendous situation at the Fremont location. Ben was the most sweetest & insightful helper and I was just utterly pleased by how he made thoughtful suggestions, cautioned me about how peppermint might make the box smell like peppermint & other thoughtful suggestion to help make my trip an enjoyable one. I enjoyed every chocolate piece from my dark chocolate array! Thank you Ben! read more

Very attentive staff. Always delicious chocolate. I like that you can get a sample when you visit. It helps me to try out new flavors.

I am a fan See's Candies. The staff is usually very friendly and sweet. I stopped off here this time to pick up some Valentine's day chocolate. The lady who helped us was efficient but a little brusque which was odd for See's. read more

See's chocolate stores are classic and iconic. It's a great shopping experience to check out the festive holiday gift sets this season! How could I resist buying a few, especially after enjoying a sample chocolate piece? Service was very welcoming at this shop in Valley Fair Mall. read more

Friendly and helpful staff. Chocolates I got also tasted good. The store is also placed at a good spot so it is easy to find

5 stars for the product, but the customer service could use a bit of fine tuning at this location. Maybe it's part nostalgia, but I love See's more than any other chocolate in the world! My 96 year old grandma loves it too. So much so, we get her a box of Rocky Road for all the special occasions throughout the year. This visit, I asked for the usual: a slab of Rocky Road in a half pound box. The young man asked if a broken off chunk and a few stray pieces would work. (Not presentable, but I guess at least he asked before just boxing it). He must have seen the look on my face because he then said "well, I can get a new slab in the back". So I replied, "yes, please". He returned with the full slab and looked pretty perplexed on how cut it to fit the half pound box, so I told him I'll take the full slab and to put it in the one pound box, which he did. But then told me he couldn't not wrap it because it wouldn't fit. What? It's wrapping paper, and it's always been wrapped every year, no questions....except "would you like this wrapped?" I also had to ask for a free sample at checkout. It's almost a "See's custom" to be asked when initially greeted. I get it, it's busy with the holiday season, but hello. read more

The two ladies working this Wednesday night were great! I loved how cheerful and genuinely happy they were to service us. The one who gave me a sample was very thorough in inquiring my kind of treat before offering me a dark chocolate cafe Au Lait truffle (she first asked milk to dark, then fruit, nuts, coffee preference). I also saw how patient they were with other guests who were really studying the piece options intently. They were pretty nice with giving those guests the piece they asked for to sample. After a long day of work I it made me smile to see them still enjoying their day (or rather night) of work. I also tried a new to me candy thanks to fellow Yelp friend recommendation! And those almond royals are gonna be hard to ration.... I give myself maybe a month before the tub is done. read more

IMHO Don't ya love the smell of chocolate when you walk into a See's Candy store? I had a $25 See's Candies gift card to redeem for my father-in-law and was thrilled that Valley Fair has an actual store there! It has been forever since I've been into one, and I received sticker shock when I did. I remember the pound boxes of candy costing $16. Today's pound boxes are $27.50! Dang, it's been a while! Still, there are so many delectable choices to make, all "eye candy" (pun intended), and yummy. Yes, they still do offer free samples of their candy! The stores are always bright in their black and white decor with splashes of red boxes and seasonal candy gifts. I chose a tried-and-true favorite: Nuts and Chews. I'm sure Dad will love it! read more

I come here every Holiday to get some candies. They still do free samples! Be patient if there is a long line. The quality of the candies remain so you can expect the same great taste at any location, any time of the year! read more

Came into mall to walk around and run errands with no intention of even walking to See's. The smell called me in and the customer service was phenomenal, I was not going to leave empty handed. Anait greeted me with a kind smile and answered my million questions patiently without any hesitation. A big big thank you to everyone at the store and especially Anait. Photo as proof that I'm thoroughly enjoying my sweets read more

I was craving chocolates and this was the closest location to my work. This is one of my stops when I would go to the mall. I can only have white chocolate and luckily Sees has a variety of options in their selection of mostly dark and milk chocolates. The service was excellent as the staff who helped me was nice and friendly. Store was clean and displays were on point. Samples weren't offered but she did to other customers. Not that I would have taken any since I saw it was all milk or dark options but it would be good to be consistent on the offers. I got the polar bear paw, divinity puff, strawberry truffle, and apple pie truffle. These were all delicious and satisfied my cravings. read more

Free sample yummy chocolate lots of choices friendly staff come check it out . They're hiring now

Great experience at See's Candies earlier today! This is the location at Valley Fair Mall. Basically, I was craving some chocolate and trying to decide between Godiva and See's. The Godiva clerks weren't really smiling when I walked by, so I decided on See's (better store lighting). Was greeted when I strolled in. I ended up picking up a bag of chocolate hearts (I wanted some truffles but a couple was standing in front for like 3 minutes! So forget that). Anyway, when I went to go pay and check out, the cashier gave me two free samples. Score! She was very friendly and I felt like I received good customer service. Anyway, I've always liked See's and have fond memories over the years of their chocolate. I would definitely return here! read more

Gummy lovers, check out the new strawberry gummies in the packaged candy section. It's sort if expensive at $7-8 a bag, but they're good! The other flavor they have in the gummies are a mixed fruit bag with three or four different flavors in it on the counter. It's been there since last year. The soft& crunchy mints are leas expensive at $4-5 a bag & delicious as well. The caramel apple lollipop isn't bad. There's also a new cinammon one, but I didn't try that one. There's also lollipops in plastic Hallowwen shapes like pumpkins, ghosts, etc... read more

Went inside to look around and see what's new. They have a NEW heart shaped white chocolate w/ strawberry cream inside called Strawberry Truffle. It's a good one for Mother's Day coming up Sunday May 9, 2010. I got some samples. I can't wait for See's newest piece, the Dark Hazelnut Cream on Sat., May 15, 2010!! Didn't buy anything this time and got FREE candy. read more

See's are pretty much the same where ever you go - Same Chocolates, same taste. Only difference is the service. I dropped by this store while shopping in the center in hopes to pick up some of their Halloween Chocolates - They finally have them in store's! I picked up one pack of the Orange & Chocolate Creams. They are so cute! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l2aS3vdGShZSGHneZH2CWg?select=UT-E9vyfnFAVeHRu6TrLmA & http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l2aS3vdGShZSGHneZH2CWg?select=gLLe2aT2ozJxaeq63w6O2Q) Along with an individual wrap of Orange and Chocolate Wafers (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l2aS3vdGShZSGHneZH2CWg?select=i5pF2WDnky2CsbKGxO6cYg) They both look very appealing but are way too sweet. Think I will stick with their regular Chocolates. Rum Nougat YUM! Service = Ok. There was no one at the front till taking payments for the items they have out on display so I had to stand in line to pay at the counter where you choose your own selection. One of the staff actually looked directly at me while I was waiting at the till looking about to see if anybody was going to come and take payment yet didn't tell me it was unassisted. Took hubby to notice they had tills behind the other counter for me to then have to go and wait there. read more

I really try to avoid this store when I go the mall. It's my inner fatties favorite so sometimes that side wins. The time was yesterday. Peanut brittle is my all time fave. We got the biggest box and I wish they make an even bigger one! Yup! Once I start I can't stop! Help! Love the efficiency of the staff here. They're so fast I don't mind the long line at all. Love their checkered floors! read more

Delicious chocolate, free samples & exceptional service. I now know why I've never stepped foot in Godiva a few feet away. See's has pleasant service, kind employees, free samples, amazing lollipops, sugar free options, tasty peanut brittle, sensational seasonal products & more! I came in with a friend after practically being snubbed at Godiva for not having a basket full of potential chocolate purchases and went straight for the seasonal St. Patrick's day potatoes filled with divinity filling (think of lots of soft chewy creamy nougat with walnuts) enrobed in luscious milk chocolate coated with a blend of cocoa powder and cinnamon, nicely topped with 3 pine nuts. I had wanted to try this for 2 years now and I'm glad I did! I'll be coming back for more. My favorites here: -Vanilla, butterscotch, and seasonal Christmas mint lollipops -Assorted mini pops (vanilla, chocolate, butterscotch, and caffe latte) -Toffeettes: perfectly bite sized and not too hard to sink your teeth into -chocolate drops: you'll end up eating at least half the bag after you start -seasonal St. Patrick's day "potatoes" -samples, samples, SAMPLES!! Thanks you, See's, for hiring such understanding, competent, parently type employees. Now that think about it, at least twice have I been approached by a kind employee saying he or she could ring up my purchases at the smaller cashier area near the doors instead of waiting in line at the front counter. The first time was the second to last busy Saturday in Dec (Christmas shopping horrors, basically) when I bought 4 packages of the 8 piece Christmas mint lollipops) and just recently when buying the potato. They gave both my friend and me mouthwatering samples. I will keep giving See's Candies business because they know how to treat their customers right. read more

Nicest ladies working here. Super pleasant even with the crazy holiday rush and crabby customers. See's was always a part of my childhood and, even though the business has grown so much over the years, their customer service and quality stands the test of time. They're always my go-to for little gifts for coworkers and hooray for complimentary samples. Bordeaux forever! read more

I love See's and I love how every time you go inside of a See's store the employees greet you with a sample of their chocolate. It's a great marketing technique, which helped me with my chocolate purchase. I typically go for their molasses chips, but I opted to get their milk chocolate toffee piece and a hazelnut chocolate truffle. Both were amazing and the molasses chips were also to die for! read more

The woman who worked tonight was so nice! Makes me want to come there every day now!

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2014 This location of See's Candies has always provided excellent customer service. The shop is clean and always well stocked. I came here recently to purchase candies for my husband's colleague who was here on business from Malaysia. The entire candy shop was packed despite it being 2 p.m. on a weekday. Shoppers received a friendly greeting and chocolate sample upon entering. I picked up a two pound of box of chocolates and See's Candies reusable bag for my hubs colleague. I also picked up a box of chocolates for my hubs. I love Guittard chocolate which is what See's Candies have been using since it opened shop ages ago. I'm sad that their location closed at Westfield Oakridge but I'm happy they are still open in Westfield Valley Fair. Looking forward to shopping here again to pick up sweets for my LoveBugs! Noelle's Notes Excellent customer service Delish chocolates read more

My family's favorites are the molasses rectangle chips, milk Bordeaux, milk mocha, polar bear claws, white chocolates, milk chocolate hearts during Valentine's Day, their red white striped mints during Christmas, and many others. I grew up with See's candy. The chocolate is yummy to me. Not too rich. Not too sweet. Just right. Price is decent. They always give you a sample when you come in and go to the counter even if you're a friend shopping with a buyer. I saw one shady guy come in for a sample and just left without buying anything nor was he with anyone who did buy anything. You can get a pound of chocolates and choose what you want in it. Usually comes to $20 more or less. They even wrap the box for you with a pretty elastic ribbon and a sticker if they have the type of sticker you need. I needed Happy Anniversary which they had a sticker for! Always bright white and clean feeling in here. Staff always look well groomed and clean and happy. How can you not be happy around chocolates right? read more

Scotchmallows. Nuts & Chews Box. That's all I have to say, I typically don't buy individual pieces at the counter so I get the prepackaged stuff. The staff here is nice and really fast of getting you in and out of there, almost as fast as I can inhale my box of chocolates upon opening. Classic chocolates and I just love these favorites here. read more

the kids that work hear suck... they sloppy as can be.. came in bought 2 one pound boxes on 8/4 white young kid helping me put both my boxes on top a dirty counter filled with chocolate pieces.. the whole underneeth of the box has chocolate now on it. they dont care at all... if ya gonna hire 16 year olds maybe teach them how to not give a customer a dirty box. what a joke read more

As a part of the mall, this See's Candies is my most visited location. I love the fact that this company has such a rich history. When I was away from the Bay Area, I was shocked that so many people had never heard of See's. Now it is very important to explain why I prefer See's to other chocolate places. The most obvious comparison I need to make is See's vs. Godiva. 1. See's is cheaper. By eons. 2. See's always gives free samples. Godiva is pretty sparing with theirs. Although, I am part of the Godiva Club where I receive a free chocolate every month. That might make up for it. 3. See's has more options. I can always find something I like at See's. Their apple pie truffles are so flavorful with a delicious chocolate outer coating and even tiny chunks of apple inside. Godiva has some interesting options, but I am not really drawn to any of them. Godiva is a more truffle centric store, while See's has such various types of candies including; their fudge, peanut butter patties, royales, and much more. 4. Taste. In brief, I just like the taste of See's better. I always make "yummy" noises when I am eating my See's candy, but I usually think that Godiva is not as flavorful. Maybe it is just that See's is much sweeter, but the supposedly "higher" quality of Godiva does not convince me that it tastes any better. 5. I also love the See's lollipops! I am always excited for their pumpkin ones to arrive, and I am eagerly awaiting their arrival in stores this year. They are so delicious and have a prevalent taste of pumpkin and cinnamon. Don't even get me started about my level of excitement for the pumpkin pie truffles. read more

The worst!!!!!!! They are out of everything! Raspberry creams, coconut, peanut butter. They JUST make candy. Get it together and have candy in stock at all times. It's all you have to do. I am not going back to here. Nothing like being so excited for something just to be told 3 times with a little laugh, "oh, we at out of that too" The worst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I love going to See's. It always brings me back to my days of youth. Everyone is very, helpful and a real pleasure to work with. See's is a treasure. Why anyone would give a less than favorable review escapes. The chocolates are fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and kind. read more

I love the See's Bon Bons!!! They are my favorite item at See's Candies. My family and friends indulge in soft center and nuts and chewy mixes. See's is always around whether if I am at home or if I am at a friend's house. I also like the chocolate cigars. They are tasty and great to give as gifts. The prepackaged items displayed on the walls are wonderful. Seeing what is in the boxes helps me select an item I know I will enjoy. Lastly, and always a wonderful treat, the free sample is divine. I just love See's Candies! This location is rather small. It can also get very busy with lines reaching the door. The staff is nice and work their butts off during those busy times too. read more

Okay, I finally made a trip back over to the See's Candies to use my gift certificate. I chose a box of the orange cream lollypops, a box of the Little Pops Cafe Latte hard candy, a bag of the dark chocolate foil eggs, and one chocolate lollypop. The gift certificate was worth a handful of coins more, so the lady let me get a dark chocolate chip truffle. Thanks See's. My sugar fix should be set for a while. read more

Sees candy has always been a favorite in my house. There's definitely something for everyone. I remember when I was a small child and I'd come here with my mom is be so excited about the free some. To my surprise decades later the free sample is still in full affect. As for a candy store you couldn't ask for a more reasonably priced array of candy. Needless to say, it's the perfect place to grab a holiday gift. read more

Absolutely love See's! My favorite is probably their milk chocolate pecan buddies. It's creamy, chewy, and it has a nice subtle crunch to it; absolutely amazing. Their milk chocolate peanut butter chew is also amazing; simple but amazing. See's is affordable and the quality speaks for itself. I also like the homey vibe it gives. Service has always been nice and friendly here and they're generous with the samples. read more

See's is a staple since childhood. See's quality is what you'd expect mass-produced chocolate to be; it's a few steps above Hershey's. And that's also why it's popular and affordable. Need a corporate gift? Head to See's. Need a stocking stuffer? Head to See's. Need a chocolate fix ASAP? Head to See's. See's is my go-to place for impersonal but always-appreciated holiday gifts. The gold box o' truffles works for everyone. The peanut brittle is Kosher. The 1 lb. box of Nuts & Chews is beloved by many a grandparent. The Sour Stars and milk chocolate Santas work for kids (and kids at heart). But when I'm shopping for me, only dark chocolate will do. Scotchmallows and Dark Butterchews are all I need. They happily accomodate special requests and custom boxes. Just make sure to keep an eye on everything - they're really busy and can sometimes get a little mixed up. read more
