The Choco tacos were so delicious, a little difficult to eat, but delicious nonetheless! My little brother DEVOURED the frozen chocolate covered banana, he absolutely loved it! They also have a small selection of candies & some old school Knick knacks to look at! A ton of options of ice cream flavors, shakes, malts, sundaes, you name it! The place itself is extremely small, no AC, & gets CRAMPED inside to the point you're squishing your way through people just to get out. There is some seating outside, none inside. Parking can be tough, the parking lot is kind of confusing & make sure you're paying attention to the signs as lots of the spots are for boat permits only!

This is an ice cream shop located right by the beach. Thrifty Ice Cream is already very well known,…read moreand I often see it inside Rite Aid stores. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The shop also sells a variety of candies and snacks, which makes it a fun place for kids. Since it's located next to a bar, there is often live music on Friday and Saturday nights, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Parking can be a bit difficult, and getting in and out of the parking area feels quite tight. The shop is also filled with a lot of merchandise, so the space can feel a little cramped. Overall, it's a fun spot to grab some ice cream by the beach, especially if you enjoy a lively atmosphere and live music on the weekends.

They also have ice cream, banana split, sundae, frappe, coffee root beer float, milk shakes, The Bulk candy is nineteen dollars per pound Their special truffle is $3.99 per piece. They have different assortment of chocolate too. The pound was for twenty six dollars. I wish I could spend more time in this heavenly candy shop, imagine how kids feel! I don't blame them at all. My inner child could join them too. Their special truffles were very decadent, rich and silky. I tried mango truffle, raspberry truffle and orange truffle. Loved them all.The bulk candy had good quality and nice flavor. I bought many chocolate bars that I didn't see somewhere else. I had such an amazing experience and fun time. Definitely, I will come back

They refused to give us money back for the ice cream because we didn't have the trash and because "they don't own it"

The employees are very helpful. For example, I was looking for a specific item for a DIY birthday centerpiece and they didn't have enough in stock, so without hesitation they called the Escondido store to check their inventory. If DIY isn't for you, don't worry they have plenty of items (Pinterest worthy) ready to complete your party. They have themed party items and traditional party items as well. I frequent this location because there is plenty of parking. They accept cash or card, but there is a fee ($.35) for card if your purchase is under $5.00. MexCandy offers a big selection of food/treat items found Mexico. It's convenient to get these authentic items locally. Tons of candies, chips, and cookies to choose from.

In fact, I plan to get this type of fabulousness every year around my birthday, which falls near Easter. I'm talking about the truffles, chocolates, brittles, toffees, and others. I can't name just one of my many favorites, don't ask me to do that. I'm too far in. Lol. Something special for you to do for your mom or spouse or other candy-loving family member would be to make up a custom box of their favorites for a special occasion. Or something special just for yourself. Don't forget the milk chocolate hollow bunnies and the cute little bunny boxes like I did this year for 2026 Easter. Just know that See's will blow any other chocolates out of the water.

I finally received a message. Huge thank you for replying! So here it is…read more See's Candy is clarifying that the reason my teacher discount was denied is because of the type of gift card that was given to me. *Again, referring it as a discounted gift card. Again, I don't know what that means because this was given to me as a gift from a student. So I googled, and it turns out that discounted gift cards can be purchased through membership organizations: RESDC, funex and COSTCO. So I'm assuming, that the gift card that was given to me as a gift may have been a Costco gift card, because I have never heard of the other vendors. LASTLY, FINAL VERDICT The only reason I'm still giving them a one star review is because I had to send them 3 different messages in order for me to get a response. - I'm very grateful for the response, but I think it would be very helpful for you to clarify what the definition of a discounted gift card actually means because it caused a lot of confusion and in the end, I had to investigate the true definition. -customer service did not really find a solution to the problem. -This gift cards policy is nowhere to be listed on their main webpage or in store so again, this will respectfully cause confusion * I will still use my gift card because I love your candy. I hope this post will help for clarification on gift cards. I don't look to discourage anyone from buying something sweet. If you are looking for something tasty, get the dark chocolate box! It's the best. Cheers!

Before I got home I devoured the whole bag of caramels! It was amazingly yummy...I was hooked!
