This place was pretty neat. I'd say it's more for the baker than the candy maker though. Lots of lorAnne flavors, and a few others that I'm looking forward to trying out once I get home. Extensive range of colors to chose from, as well as cookie cutters. Staff was helpful. Considering I'm more into candy making than baking, this place didn't really suit my needs, but I still found a few fun things to add to my housewife hobby collection. read more

They have classes and all the cake supplies you'll ever need. So happy to finally have a decent cake store in SD

September 15,2016 Time: 3:20pm My younger sister and I have been coming to pick stuff up from here for years. She's a certified baker. And every single time we have been treated like complete (excuse my language) SH*T! I am so sick of those two blonde middle aged ladies making little offending remarks. I don't know if it's a racial thing or because we're half their age, that they feel entitled to treat the customers of 5 years like their business does not matter. They were so rude I felt the need to write this review. The lady at the register already had an attitude. She started off ringing us up by saying "oh you FINALLY found what you were looking for!!" (mind you we were in the store for less than 7min.) they treated us as if we were gonna rob their store. Unfortunately, we brought the wrong credit card, so I asked the lady if she could possible put stuff on hold. She said nothing and wouldn't even make eye contact with me. So I asked again "would you please put this stuff on hold, we will come back before you close today." Her response: "mhm, ya!" (As she began to help the next customer) So sad. Very upsetting. We did nothing nor did we say anything to make you guys treat us like that. You both a very rude people. read more

I have been shopping here for years and normally have nothing but a great experience. The people who work there are usually always very helpful. However today my experience was the complete opposite. Being a customer service supervisor myself I understand the importance of sometimes having to be flexible and accommodate your clientele outside of your usual circumstances. I will definitely think twice before suggesting people to go there again and shopping here myself. read more

NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN. They rip off their customers and wash their hands of any faults by adding in disclaimers that are not even visible. Their new system adds in a surcharge of at least 3% on every item, despite how much you spend. Cashier doesn't even notify you in case you want to pay a different way. To top it off they sold me an air brush machine that ended up costing me $135 ($5 more than asvertised), same one is on Amazon for $80 with horrible reviews. All their items are final sale so forget a refund or exchange. I love supporting small businesses but if you want to stay in business you should also offer competitive prices and be honest with your customers. They offered no remedy so goes to show how much they care about customer service. So glad we have a competitive market because I am taking my business else where. It's a shame you would rather loose long-time loyal customers then swallow your pride and offer a solution. read more

Best selection for baking supplies in the south bay. Prices are high compared to other places. There is a lady there that isn't very nice, especially when its close to closing time! read more

I haven't been here in a while, but holy moly, they've expanded since I was here last!!!! Plus, they are cheaper than Do It With Icing, and super, super friendly. AND YOU CAN ORDER SUPPLIES ON THEIR WEBSITE!!!!!! Love me some Standlees! read more

They have a good selection. However, they are very expensive. I am a cake decorator on the side. If I plan right, I can get most of what I need online for much cheaper. I know how to make cake drums myself, but they can be time consuming with my set-up at home. I occasionally buy them. Today I bought a fullsheet and here is what I'm disappointed with: -it wasn't an actual full sheet -there wasn't a cake box that actually fit it so it will shift in transit -their drums are ALWAYS dinged. If I'm going to pay $22 for a drum that should only cost $10, it should not be dented. If you need something in a pinch or want to see it in person, it's a good place. read more

Standlee's has everything you need to decorate cakes, cookies, candies and more. Everyone is always extremely helpful. They remodeled this year and have added so much to their inventory, it's amazing. I wouldn't shop anywhere else. read more

A baker's heaven ... lots of great stuff and a huge variety ... great sprinkles ... bought a bunch and put them all together for a great Halloween sprinkle for cupcakes nice guy working the counter ... tons of cookie cutters and dyes ... glad I found it !!! read more

Awesome little supply store! From books to mini cones! Wish I had found this place sooner. Different cake shaped pans and different sizes too. They offer classes, and support the local bake club. I'd come back and would suggest it to my friends. read more

I found Standlee's randomly while walking down the string of shops in the area. I was so excited to find a shop like this with so many cake decorating supplies. Today was my second visit here and I am even more impressed by their customer service. The two ladies there were very friendly and extremely helpful. They even suggested ideas of how to go about decorating the cupcakes that I am making this weekend. I will be returning anytime I need baking supplies. Also, they carry americolor! So happy that I don't have to buy it online anymore. read more

If you are a Baker or candy maker, this store has EVERYTHING you need and things you didn't know you needed. My daughter and I just took a class with Frances and had the most fun time. I've always enjoyed shopping here, but I'm going to be heading back more often. read more

I love to bake, but sometimes have trouble finding the things that I need. I'm so happy I found this place. There are so many options for any kind of baking you do. I got so much inspiration just by walking up and down the aisles. They have EVERYTHING, and the staff is so nice! I will definitely be back, as soon as I start my next project! read more

I'm taking a cake decorating class there now, and though it's a small space, you will definitely get individualized attention. Also, the shop will give you a discount when you sign up for the class, so getting the supplies you need is both inexpensive and convenient. For the size of the store, they sure manage to pack a lot of options for your shopping needs, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I'll go back. read more

For all the bakers out there, this is the place to go to satisfy your baking needs. From cake boxes to a plethora of chocolate molds, you can probably find what you need here. The staff was friendly and informative. They go around the store making sure that you've been helped or have questions about anything. However, the only two concerns keeping me from giving them two more stars is 1) pricing and 2) selection. Yes, there may be a wide selection; however, when comparing price and selection their contender -- Do It With Icing has lower prices and more goodies to choose from. But overall, Standlee's is more convenient for the South Bay residents. read more

You know the saying, "It was like walking into a candy shop"? Well what is it like when the person who makes the candy walk into this shop? It's like Heaven I tell you! Great selection, maybe not as vast as Do It With Icing, but all the standard equipment/supplies to get you through and more. Very helpful staff, always asking if you need any help which I really appreciate. I've been here for cake boxes and boards and bought a tube pan (Wilton) out of desperation, checked online to make sure the price was competitive and it was. I was happy to buy it here, in time to make 2 Mothers Day Orange Grand Marnier Chiffons! Love this place and I'll be coming back to support it. read more

Let me just start off with the boss, mad props to her. She is really awesome, i had a few questions and she was beyond helpful. Their baking supplies are awesome, i really loved their selection. Their prices are really good and i'v been going there for just about all my baking needs, i just wish they were open on sundays too! read more

This was my first trip ever to a cake supply store & this place is amazing!! They have soo many beautiful goodies & staff was very helpful :) highly recommended! read more

This place is pretty small but it has "most necessities". I must admit I did run back and forth between Michael's and here, and being crafty sure comes costly sometimes. I come here mostly for there variety in Candy molds. You know the kind you melt chocolate and pour into , ok... ok... I am not giving my secrets away I think I already said too much. I honestly also come for caramel for my apples and chocolate to melt. I have also recently discovered that they carry these awesome powders to give a little *sp@rkle* to your candy & cakes as well as bags of all sizes to fit your creations in . read more

Standlee's has been around forever, and has gone through many changes along with the economy. It is now the best place to go for all baking supply needs! If they don't have it they can get it. Knowledgeable staff and in my humble opinion, there's nothing like supporting the independent. KUDOS TO STANDLEE'S! read more

I felt like I was in Willy Wonka's store when I walked in here. Its clean, and well lit so it makes finding things easier. I felt like they had a good assortment of products at good prices. They had tons of cookie cutter and chocolate molds so I'm sure you can find what you're looking for. Also great is their custom cookie cutter ordering! You can order a special cookie cutter through their shop!! They had a wide selection of holiday bake wear. The display was so nice I left with a few new cookie cutters I hadn't even been looking for! The staff was helpful and friendly and they've definitely won my business for all my future baking needs! read more

I love this place always has what I need, only downside they don't have lollipop molds for characters like mickey...otherwise excellent

Where do I begin to start! Ever since I was little Iv been coming to standees to pick out anything I wanted for my birthday cakes and now that I'm grown up and I'm the one making the cake Iv chosen to pick standees as my #1 cake supplies shop. Every time I go in the first word is "how many cakes " followed by hello. Every time I go, there's always something new to look at or to buy if I need help their always there to answer any questions and show me the better ways. When I walk out of the store I learn something new. I was the one to by my chocolate etc... at Walmart but now I get mine at standees because their chocolate etc... is way better in Quality. I will always be a loyal customer to them and go to them first. #standleesfam. From OSCAR read more

Staff was rude an knowledgeable. It was pulling teeth to get any info from them. Don't hire someone if they can't be bothered to help the customers. Nice selection and all but the staff makes me want to shop else where. read more

Great store for us wanna-be candy makers and cookie bakers! Lots of molds, cookie cutters, flavorings, etc. to choose from. Great, helpful staff answered my questions. A favorite place to visit in the heart of Chula Vista. read more

I love this place! Very well stocked with every baking, cake decor and chocolate supplies that you may need! Friendly and knowledgeable staff - Caitlyn & Cheryl are my personal favorites!

Awesome supply shop. They really have pretty much everything you can think of and the staff are extremely helpful and courteous. Highly recommend checking them out for your baking and decorating needs!! read more

This store has everything you need for all your baking and party supplies! They are a hometown ownership with personal service! We all need to patronize our local "mom and pop" stores instead of these big box conglomerate stores like Michaels and Party City! You will never get bad service here at Standlees. They also have great classes as well. read more

This store is well stocked, has a ton of items at great prices and I always end up leaving with more than I intended because they have so much fun stuff. Staff is very helpful and knowledgable. read more

Went in for one thing... This place has all your go to needs for baking!!! If you are a hobby baker need I say more this is your place to go for supplies!! Super friendly staff!! Coming back for all my baking needs!! read more

Standlees is the place to go!! They are always stocked up and answert all of my questions and give me guidance when I decide to get crafty on goodies I know nothing about!! Every time I go I spend a good 30-45 minutes in their just wandering around, even though I already know what I need to get, especially with the new expansion. read more

Been very disappointed here lately... They always are helpful and asking you if you need help in finding something however they are always out of basic stuff... Black dye, plain brown cupcake wrappers, cupcake boxes... I always hear well try again we will be going to the warehouse soon... You are out of basic things... Go now! I don't know if they are under new management but its not good... Too bad I like this place... read more

I love Standlee's and the staff are so awesome and helpful. I have been getting my cake supplies here for years.
