See’s Candies

I mean come on its CHOCOLATE. What could go wrong. Ladies at this location are sweet and helpful. 5 + stars

CHOCOLATE !!! Who does not love chocolate??? And my place to come for anything chocolate is Sees Candies. They have it all from milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate, you are sure to find something you like here. They have anything for any occasion and holiday. From already made to purchase boxed or bags of chocolate or if you prefer you can personalize your own box with nothing but your favorite chocolates.
My favorite is the samples that you are offered the minute you walk through the door and that is how I discovered my favorite chocolate chip truffle, oh was it love at first bite, that I am now addicted to this little piece of mouthwatering and drool worthy piece of chocolate. So smooth and creamy and full of flavor that it just melts in your mouth. I have found my favorite chocolate.
The ladies here are all super friendly and provide excellent service which makes your chocolate experience even more enjoyable. And don’t be afraid to ask for an extra sample because they will be happy to hand you another one and with a huge smile.

As a regular visitor, it’s long overdue that I give See’s Candies a review.
A trip to the West Covina mall is not complete without a visit to See’s Candies.
The simple white and black décor harken back to simpler times of an era gone by and gives the store a pristine and welcoming feeling.
All the ladies that work here are as sweet as the candies they sell. They are always welcoming, friendly, smiling, and give off good energy. It’s this level of customer service that other establishments should try to mimic. They offer a sample candy during each visit, which is great because it broadens my knowledge of what chocolates they offer (also it’s really good chocolate!).
At peak times during the year (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, etc.) the store does get understandably busy and during those times I notice the employees that work there do struggle to keep up with demand and do get fatigued, but I can tell they try hard to keep up their commitment to excellence even during the busy seasons. Five stars all around!
On to the sweets. I’m a lollypop aficionado here, and most of the time mainly come into the store just for those. Of the traditional flavors, butterscotch is my favorite. My dad likes the chocolate lollypops, while my mom enjoys the café latté flavor. I’ve really enjoyed the seasonal lollypops this last year: root beer, apple caramel, pumpkin spice, chocolate orange, orange cream, holiday mint, and cinnamon! I don’t have a favorite among the seasonal lollypops, they are all excellent and have their own distinct personalities and flavors. I recommend you try them all when they hit the shelves.
If you are buying a box of candies, I definitely recommend truffles. You can’t go wrong with truffles. Doesn’t matter what flavor of truffle, they are all great. I never had a bad truffle. It is my recommendation if you are looking for a box of chocolates as a gift. They come prepackaged (saves time) or you can create your own customized box.
Scotchmallows are another excellent choice and again come prepackaged or you can get one of the employees to help you with getting some from behind the display case.
Another favor of mine that makes rare appearances as part of prepackaged boxes are the colored sugar sticks. It’s mostly a nostalgia thing for me with those, as it just reminds me of when I was a kid and use to get them sometimes for Halloween.
I highly recommend you make a stop here if you are visiting the mall. Best chocolates and candies in the area coupled with excellent customer service!

I came here with a friend she was buying candies for her family or something. The service was great. Jacqueline was absolutely awesome very friendly great smile she’s has a cool vibe makes you wanna buy more chocolate. Great job girl.
This place smells great too I was just here with a friend but the service was so great I bought myself a sugar free dark chocolate bar.

I had recently bought a gift card from them and I love the free samples you get. The lines can be pretty long though.

most under appreciated candy is the scotch mallow… deslish!!! wonderfly sweet and soft.

I wanted to purchase some gifts
Had to purchase gifts for a friend and walked in to Sees candy and got a nut chocolate package one pound which is considerably larger then other one pound chocolate boxes. This one looks impressive and also got a chocolate lollipop box which was on sale for $ 12. This box looked super impressive.
For the desert heat in Palm springs where I was headed this gift would cool them down. The temperatures in the desert were 110.
These are really impressive and cost effective gifts.

Passionate staff and very clean store. To be expected but at this location it is exceeded!

This store is small, but very well kept. Everything is nicely organized and clean.
Ladies are sweet and helpful. They always give free samples. Yummy!
White Chocolate Polars Bears are my favorite, so Yummy!

This place is of course GREAT! I love CHOCOLATES! But I am writing this review because of a staff… her name is Patty and she is wonderful! Friendly, greets you when you enter, when your ready to order and she tells you the up coming events and or specials that they will have coming up. I always go to See’s to get my sugar fix, and had never had anyone greet me constantly and always with a smile. And might I add, she was busy too and still maintained great customer service!

If only I did not have to go to this mall to get to See’s candy. This is the closest location to my home, but I only go here when I need a gift and don’t have time to drive to a different location. The parking lot is a nightmare, and the mall is icky. It is hard to get in and out quickly here because you have to fight through the parking lot. If you can’t get a spot near the entrance closest to this store, you are forced to go through the entire mall to get to this store. (minus 2 stars for the mall location)
Once you get past all of that, the store itself is great. This store is clean and always well stocked. The staff are kind, pleasant and helpful. Free samples are a bonus. Everyone loves the chocolate here, and everyone has their own special favorite. They always have special packages for different holidays, which are cute and festive. They even have a sugar free selection.
If only there was another See’s nearby that was not in this mall!

This is your typical See’s Candies shop in the mall. The people are friendly who work here. There isn’t normally a line.
The chocolates are fresh and delicious at See’s. I prefer their chocolate to other brands I’ve tried (Godiva and Ghirardelli).
Remember to buy your Costco gift certificate before going to See’s to save money!
Xie Xie!

Walking into my aunt’s place today, a box of See’s Candies was pointed out to me on the coffee table. I was then informed that I was given the errand of going to the West Covina Mall to exchange that box of candy for a custom made box. Eh? I moved out from my parents place and I’m still getting other people’s errands? Hehe I didn’t mind of course though since it meant being able to pick out whatever I wanted, and to eat it too!
And so, since my aunt and uncle were busy playing mah jong, I went to exchange their box of See’s candies… with the christmas wrapping paper still on it.
When I walk into the store, I am automatically greeted by the girl behind the counter and offered a sample of the Mayfair, buttercream with cherries and walnuts. Mmmm… yummmyy…I actually liked it, and I usually hate cherry stuff. Oh and so did the 3 other people with me. Haha.
I told her that I needed to exchange the box of chocolate I had, no questions asked she whips out a a form for me to fill out then proceeds to get me a box for the chocolates. And so ensues a frenzy of 4 people pointing at all different kinds of chocolates. Strawberry truffle, dark chocolate covered almonds and walnuts, polar bear claws, brittles, buttercreams, etc etc etc the list goes on. I’ve never picked out a custom box of chocolates before! 16.10 for 1 lb of chocolates! About 20 pieces or so of deliciousness! Mmm… I might just have to do this for myself one day…
10 minutes later, the box is full, she tapes is up, bags it and away we go.
The of the store is covered with prepackaged candy in cut packaging. Preassorted chocolates you can just grab and pay, lollipops see’s style, and chocolate chocolate chocolate. Definitely will find something to make your mouth water.
I love the old fashioned feel of see’s candies. Their assorted chocolates are yummy, truffles aren’t bad but not the best, and they always give you a sample. They will also let you sample chocolates as you are buying things, but as I was not dropping any money this visit, I would’ve felt bad doing so. Yummy yummy… a very dangerous store…
Oh yes and I made sure to help myself to a few of them… hehehe.

When I need to give a really great gift, I turn to See’s Candies, which are a big hit, unless that person is diabetic. They have lots of delectable small chocolates, chews, and truffles to choose from in the display case or prepackaged. I come in here of course for the free samples. During special occasions such as Valentine’s, Easter, and Mother’s Day, See’s Candies decorates their shop and offers plenty of specialized gift boxes all set to go.
I stock up on the regular favorites including the Peanut Brittle, Toffee, Little Pops (hard candy), Almond Royal, Mint Krispys, and chocolate gift boxes to bring back to the East Coast for my friends and family, where there are no See’s Candies shops, though they do set up kiosks over there during the holidays only. I do keep a stash of Little Pops in my ride for those many times on the road I’ve needed a quick sugar rush.
