Very attentive customer service. As I walked in I was acknowledged and welcomed in. As I was browsing the store, I was offered samples MULTIPLE times. Staff were very nice and answered my questions about the differences in the many boxes they have. A box of assorted is $26 bux but hey, I think splurging on yourself once in a while is ok. This box should hold me over for a month or two. read more

I am shocked thier prices are the same online as an in person store in California. I am not sure why the prices of chocolate are so high and they can't really explain it so I just consider it a money grab. And yes, the chocolate is the best in the world read more

It's Christmas and this See's location is fully stocked and has plenty employees. I was greeted at the door and offered a sample caramel patty (my favorite!). There was a full selection of pre-packaged boxes, wrapped and ready to go. Also, a separate register to handle the extra crowds who just wanted to grab some boxes and go. (Unlike Pismo Beach.). Well done Santa Maria and Happy Holidays!! read more

Went in tonight and had the nicest worker help us, her name was Thalia. She was patient and answered all our questions and didn't mind I did different bags and multiple gift cards. There was a handful of people in the store another lady was there and just walked gave candy didn't say anything and went into the back and left the nice worker to help everyone up front. read more

I've had no problem with any See's Candy store all in the Central Coast, just haven't wrote a review on the Santa Maria Store even though I've been to it several times at this Betteravia location and when it was in the Santa Maria Mall. When I went their earlier this week the associate was quick to answer any of my questions and with the photos on the wall it was pretty simple to choose but not really, so much to choose from and trying not to think of the price. Gosh I remember decades ago spending $17.99 for a pound of chocolate, now roughly ten bucks more. At least I know what I'm getting, the consistency of taste is always great, the smell of chocolate tells me I don't have covid, what more can you ask for! read more

I come in here often and always have excellent service. Yesterday Angie was working and she knew exactly what I wanted from my last visit. She made great recommendation. I am always happy when she is working. read more

Yup, it was Valentines Day...and I, with a whole BUNCH of other customers, found myself in See's Candies -Santa Maria. Many times a customer...first time reviewer. WOW...it was crowded, but true to form the See's Candies Associates were working quickly and diligently on servicing their customers. These ladies are AMAZING!Ladies, I thank-you for your continued FABULOUS customer service! ALWAYS clean in appearance and well stocked with boxes and BOXES of CHOCOLATES, I chose to pick my own custom 1/2 pound box (no need to go overboard...right?) of DARK CHOCOLATE NUTS AND CHEWS (OMG, so YUMMY). Samples were on the counter, for all...they were delicious. Only good things to say with regards to this See's location! In this Yelper's opinion, See's Candies - Santa Maria has earned (many times over) is "highly recommend" 5 Star review! CHOCOLATE, come get you some!!! Oh yeah!!! read more

I just want to say the customer service here is on point. I ordered a few boxes of See's candies during Easter but I left two boxes at work planning to use it for a few birthdays in May. I came in and wanted to get stickers or a different wrapper since the two boxes I had were Easter wrapping paper.... I know it's a weird request and I thought the worse the can happen is they'd tell me to take a hike. Miss Kim, the manager was on the register and she not only gave me the best customer service but she checked the pull dates on the candies I had and saw that they were expired, she exchanged my boxes for two new boxes. I really appreciate it. I feel like she went above and beyond. I will be coming back to this store and I will tell everyone what an amazing manager she is. read more

THE go-to place for candy gifts! I love about 99.9% of the candies I have tried from See's. Our favorite is the peanut butter patties but they are all quite good. They are a little expensive for candy but not any more expensive than other high quality candy stores. Also, you can usually get a free sample when you walk in. Yum! read more

Very unwelcoming super quiet and awakard wouldn't ring me up i just left my money there and two ladies in front ignoring me wouldn't even ring me up never going again it's weird there. read more

Every time I order from here the ladies in the store are extremely rude, very unwelcoming and make everything difficult.

In over 50 years of going for some GREAT CHOCOLATE at many See's locations, this was the only one that did not offer a sample. I purchased some anyway, because it's the best! I'll stick with the SLO location. read more

Stopped in here while the man was getting work done on his car. I have never had a See's Candies salesperson ever roll her eyes when I whipped out my debit card for a very small purchase. I do that all the time at See's in the malls in LA and they just smile and thank you. An eye roll? Seriously? Am I spoiled for thinking they should entertain my tiny purchases while I'm trying to control my chocolate intake? No, I am not. She also referred to us as "guys." Seriously. From time to time I wonder why so many of my reviews are so low. Maybe my standards are high. Maybe I'm spoiled. Maybe I just have a knack for discovering the cloud in the silver lining. Or maybe I'm right, and this was substandard treatment. The candy is delicious and I've been a loyal See's Candies shopper for my whole life - and I was trying to talk the man into buying chocolates for his nieces and nephews. This makes me sad. I want to cry. read more

I love how when you come in here you always get a sample that's probably my favorite reason for stopping by the store. It's Valentine's Day so was very busy picked up some chocolates for my little one they got me out really quickly they had three people working which is perfect for the season definitely come in here and try their chocolates I've been eating this candy since I was a child read more

I absolutely love See's candy ! Yes it's expensive but it's so worth it . Every time I've gone into this See's candy store I've had good service . I like that they usually let me pick my sample I'm a spoiled brat yes I know this . The Polar Bear paws are to die for and the Scotchmallows are bomb . I will continue to go and overload on chocolate . read more

Yes, I have a bad sweet tooth and yes, I love sees but, that's not the only reason I am giving a good review. The staff is super nice, store is clean, and they are always well stocked. I got 2 free samples today just because she felt like I was waiting too long. It wasn't even much of a wait so I appreciate that. Always a place that makes me happy. read more

Everything was fine when we walked in, we got our free sample. We picked up some chocolate eggs and got in line. The people in line behind us got helped first. She helped the people that were buying candy from the counter first and then was rude when we said something to her about it. read more

My complaint about this store is the service. I was visiting from out of town and stopped in to pick up a gift. I grabbed a pre packed box of candy and walked up to the register because no one was in line. I stood at the register for several minutes while the only employee in the store was fiddling with stuff behind the counter. A lady walked in and got in line behind me. The employee walked over and began getting her candy to fill her one pound box that she was customizing. I continued to stand at the register assuming the employee would at least ring me up before the other customer but no! The employee pushed my stuff out of the way asked me to move and rang up the lady behind me. When I said "I've been standing here since before this customer came in." The employee's reply with a very snippy attitude was "I'm moving as fast as I can." The quality of product is excellent but this service really as turned me off to the product all together. Not sure if I will purchase from any See's again. read more

I went in there today with my friends and they were very friendly and welcoming. They let us have a few samples before we bought anything and they were also very patient with my friend that is very picky with the things she puts in her mouth. great service!!! read more

Love the truffles! Not much to say, it's See's Candy and pretty much the same everywhere. Clean store, good candy. The lady at this store today was friendly, not always the case at the SM store. read more

The woman who has worked there long time gives great sees customer service. I usually go to San Luis now because one of the newer persons is so businesslike, profit oriented, and condescending. It kills the sees experience. This is sees an American icon, not the bank. So since continued ill feelings of poor customer service, I go when I can to San Luis. read more

I love this place!! Yea its a bit pricy buttttt its worth it. The chocolates have a very rich texture and so delicious ! Great gift idea to give to loved ones read more

Love this store, the staff is friendly and helps me find new favorite candies from their samples and promotions. The store is small so be patient when it's busy! I come here for birthdays, holidays and anniversaries! Never dissapoints read more

The ladies at the front aren't very welcoming or friendly. We come every year with the whole family and everyone picks out their own half pound, getting all of their favorites. Unfortunately though, the staff isn't very nice and they seem really put-out when we want to pick out our choices. read more

Love this place, the ladies are always so nice and helpful, go out of their way to make sure you get what you are looking for.
