SEE's Candies store front
Kimmie W.

Do you see what I See's? See's candies is the forerunner for all things chocolate and sweets. Today's order ---my go to for sweet cravings, midnight munchies and delightful dessert in the form of a mini candy square.. introducing peanut butter crunch- the crunch meter is over 1000!!! Nestled in this candy square is peanuts, chocolate and somme type of peanut butter brickle layer - all though I don't see the layer- it is hiding in there some where!! It's so crunchy, it's so munchy, It's so crumbly and oh so sweetly enjoyable!!!

Steve R.

See's candies have been around for just over 100 years. At some point, I'm sure all of us have either been given or received a box of them. I still get joy out of opening a box and seeing the selections sitting atop their black paper cup waiting for me to decide which one I'll pick. Going inside their stores around the holidays is as much a tradition as kids getting their picture Ramen with Santa. The store here in Torrance is impeccably clean, and the staff are all helpful and friendly. I'm sure my wife and I will be back to pick up a few boxes to give for Christmas and maybe one for us to open ourselves.

See's and Squishmallow Halloween treat
Laurie W.

I LOVE this See's location. The sales associates are always so nice and helpful. I was lucky and got the last Squishmallow See's Halloween collab in the store. Yay!

So many options!
Kathryn C.

It wouldn't surprise me if this were the biggest See's Candies store. They have a lot of floor space, easy parking, and tons of selection. I'm particularly vulnerable to the peppermint patties. We give them lots of business at Christmas and Easter. It's a California tradition!

2 pound box for my chocolate loving guy.
Sharon P.

Does it ever happen to you that you're driving down the road and you see a shop but you're in the wrong lane and you want to beeline to the shop anyway? I may have caused a tiny car at least 7 car lengths away (could have been 8 but I'll give that tiny car the benefit of the doubt) to lay on his horn as if I was a paddle boat that just cut off an ocean liner in a sea of no traffic. That's right, no traffic except me and that tiny car a lifetime away from me. I was in a parking space before it even passed in front of me. And so it begins - the holiday season where creatures come out of the woodwork to give us a little reminder that not everyone is as happy as we are. What does that have to do with chocolate? Absolutely nothing. What it has to do with is my mood. I intended on buying a 1 pound box as a little gift to my chocolate loving guy, but because that tiny car was so unhappy, I decided to buy a 2 pound box. A trio assortment of his favorites: milk chocolate buttercream, dark chocolate buttercream and milk chocolate raspberry cream. I believe it was Esquivel who helped me - he was friendly and happy to share his chocolate favorites. He packed the box like an expert, offered to gift wrap but I declined citing I didn't want anything to delay my ability to get into that box of love. I almost declined the cellophane tape on the sides of the box as well, but thought it best to keep that baby locked shut for the ride home - it was after all, a gift for my guy. I love See's Candies. I love their bright and clean kitchen like aesthetic. I love their black and white uniforms with bows. I love the tidy stacks of confection filled boxes that line the perimeter of the showroom. And gosh darnit, I love samples. Chocolate is as chocolate does said a wise person somewhere. Okay maybe not but this is true, show up with chocolate and all is right with the world (I'm talking to you tiny car).

Love the center displays
Dora T.

Growing up in the South Bay I never knew how fortunate I was to have a See's store so close by until I moved to Chicago and my fellow Californians would bring back boxes of the chocolates. See's is always a fun place to visit and in recent years it's one of my favorite places to go during any holiday to pick up festive goodies. My favorite part of the store are the displays in the middle which usually have small packets of holiday candies and their famous lollipops decked out with a holiday topper. These toppers jazz up the lollipops and are the perfect gifts to hand out at work. The staff are always warm and friendly and who can say No to the free samples offered at each visit?

Jade P.

Very friendly staff and excellent customer service from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted nicely, offered samples, and asked if we needed any assistance. This is a really big store, they had everything. I love it here!

My Maserati was even mad !!!!
Supajok C.

Thank you Maribel for your excellent customer service skills that allowed me to get the candy that I came in to get for my friend! However, Kailey should be ashamed of herself. After her rudeness, I did not want the free samples nor the second box that I wanted to get for my family. She looked at us Black people standing in line, then asked the white woman heading to get in line behind us if 'she needed help', and checked her out before us. This behavior has happened to me many times in my life, since I'm Black but every incident is a reoccurring traumatic experience. This racist conduct is not acceptable in modern society. Chocolate is supposed to bring joy and happiness, but this terrible act of racial discrimination left me feeling disgusted with SEE'S for the first time in the 40 years that I have been a customer. I have never experienced such dehumanizing, humiliating behavior by a SEE'S employee. Kailey has no business working up front when Black people are in the store!!!

The front space looks more like an arts and crafts setup than a typical chocolate spot (sorry Naomi if you're reading this), but the tasting experience completely changed my impression. Naomi, who led the tasting, is also involved in making the chocolate, which made a big difference. She walked us through their collaborations over the years and the inspiration behind different flavors. It's not a set tasting menu. It's more go with the flow, which made it feel personal and relaxed. She's clearly passionate about what she does and very open to ideas. You can even reach out ahead of time to design your own experience. We ended up tasting over ten flavors that day because she was generous with samples. I left feeling like I probably don't need chocolate again for a while, but still walked out with a stack of bars to share with friends and family. There's something really special about how they connect you to the process. Seeing raw cocoa beans and learning more about how everything is made gave me a bit more appreciative. I also tried cacao nibs, which are gaining popularity, but I'll admit I still prefer chocolate with some sweetness. One standout was a bar sweetened with maple sugar. If had similar but it's also completely different. So many interesting flavors and ideas here. Definitely a unique and memorable experience. More reason for you to check it out.

Staff is super polite, welcoming, and friendly in that Japanese way that a lot of store staff are (if you know, you know). She saw us perusing their seasonal goods and commenting on how cute everything was and she offered us some samples. Asking us if we liked matcha and answering our questions on what her favorites were. We got to try the Uji Matcha Fromage and the Nama Chocolate Gianduja. My friend ended up getting the latter. Delicious hazelnut and almond paste with their milk chocolate, infused with the liqueurs of those nuts too. Deep and rich tastes without being too bitter. I was worried about her purchasing it then since we had the whole day ahead of us but the store clerk let us know they had ice packs and everything was packaged nicely.

The packaging alone screams luxury. The potato chips are to die for! The chocolate is not too sweet, the chips have a nice crisp and the right touch of salt. The truffels are some of the best I've ever had. I think the price for these items are quite reasonable for the quality your are given. Each bag of chips are about $18-$20. These chips are perfect for gifts or cheat day. Truly something special! The service is very good. I've had the same ladies help me every time I've visited and they are always very kind. This place is located inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace. It's right at the entrance of the Market. I'm not always in the area but when I get the chance I pick up at least a few boxes. You will not regret this treat! The place is very clean. There is plenty of parking available.

It's pretty safe to say I'm usually one of those last minute holiday shoppers. We went out…read moreyesterday to fight the traffic and the crowds at the Del Amo Fashion Center (fortunately wasn't that bad, we got lucky) and it paid off because I was able to get all my shopping done in a couple hours. I remember Hickory Farms having permanent store locations in the malls many years ago. Now, except for holidays like Christmas when they set up temporary stores or kiosks, it sounds like it's pretty much a web-based business only now. While walking through the mall, I see this Hickory Farms kiosk. It's located on the lower level at the escalators, near Joann fabrics & crafts, between JC Penney's and Macy's. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=KrWYhOQc-vFGktGYCLtAhw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=dDTZmA3kC3Bx0-GxNYXklw They offer a variety of gift boxes & baskets with cheeses, beef or turkey summer sausage, salami, etc. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=qS4_Dyu9frmCn5suuGoKiw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=SP5RhYuglVWBGhZbsJAiSQ The staff was friendly and helpful, though not so helpful that she would give be a bag without charging me for it, LOL. Like many things at Christmas, the costs add up quickly. I bought a few things and that checked off the last names on my shopping list, so we worked our way back to the car. Thanks Hickory Farms.
