See’s Candies

I came here recently to get a free sample of raisin clusters, but ended up buying a few boxes as holiday presents. The lollipop suckers are good for driving — try the vanilla or the butterscotch. My kids like the vanilla buttercream chews and the chocolate-​covered peppermint. I get a lot of gifts here for my business customers because the boxes look special and they come with so many different candies that everyone can find something they like.

II was having a very stressful day trying to get some shopping done and decided that maybe something sweet would help make it all a little better! After stopping here, it was not the excellent chocolate that brightened my day but it was the outstanding and kind service I received from Silvia!
She was fabulous! The only thing sweeter than the chocolate covered pecans at this store is Silvia!
She somehow knew my favorite chocolate and presented me with a sample of it when i was checking out. She was fast, efficient and beyond polite! Instantly put me in a better mood. Thanks to her for being so great!

My wife loves the dark chocolates at See’s. Her favorite is the Dark Bordeaux. She likes the Normandy and the Pecan roll slices as well. This is a nice location for a chocolate candy snack if you have just finished dining at one of the restaurants in the Crystal Court opposite of the main South Coast Plaza Mall. Very good service. Average size store. Lots of parking near the Crystal Court entrance inside the parking building.

I had the misfortune of leaving almost 60 bucks of candies that I bought from see’s on their front door bench, because I was chasing after my daughter in the mall. Now, hope against hope, I contacted the lost and found in the mall, and they told me that some one returned the bag to see’s. By this time, I was already in LA. But still, not wanting to lose the hand picked bunch of candies. I took the long drive back to Costa Mesa. The lady behind the counter was more then helpful. She told me how she noticed my bag when she came in to work, and took it in after 20 mins had passed, and reported it to the lost and found. I still. feel a little ashamed that I didn’t get her name. But she is the most wonderful, and honest person I have met in LA area. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

If one doesn’t like Sees, possibly they are in Al Queda, or an Asian who has a «sweet allergy.»
These two types are excusable…
But boy are they missing out!!!
The best chocolate, as any true Californian can attest to – its part of our heritage.
This location is especially friendly, nice, yummy – all of those things.
It’s a «happy habit» alright…

I’ve visited this sees a few times with my friends and family and I’ve always had great customer service. But today, I came in and I was with 2 friends and so this lady asked us if we were all together, all of us were paying separately. So we we like oh no we aren’t together. So I started to order and she gives me a sample and I gave it to my friend. Then suddenly she started to yell at us telling us that she asked us if we were all together and how that she could’ve given us more samples and was EXTREMELY rude to me when I asked to try another sample of a candy. She was very aggressive with me and her tone was very unpleasant. A very impatient women. My friend was very apologetic because we clearly didn’t know what she meant and my friend was obviously taken back how this lady was talking to us. And while I was paying she kept saying that oh you should have told me that you guys were all together and now you guys don’t have enough samples. Like calm down lady we all didn’t need to sample candy. I wish I could have gotten her name so I could speak to manager and complain about her. But I will be calling the manager anyways about this ridiculous situation with this lady.

I seem to be coming to See’s more frequently… And every time I come in, I’m greeted by the most friendly people! All of the employees are sooo nice and helpful to me and making jokes. I always feel special when I go in there! Keep up the good work See’s South Coast. I’ll go out of my way to come to your location.

I’ve probably been coming to this See’s since I was a little kid and it’s always good and reliable. I have been noticing that in recent years that this one has gotten busier which is the only negative about this place.

SLOW customer service –1
Small but Clean store & easy to find products +1
When did Sees candies get to be so overpriced? ;(-1
I believe that the quality of Sees chocolates have gone way down; maybe this is due to it being over hyped & people «think» its the best chocolate out there when it really isn’t?
Reading their ingredients list, you can see that Sees uses Artificial Flavors, Corn Syrup & Cornstarch. –1
Sees chocolates have such a bland & waxy stiff taste to them that does not even resemble what real chocolates tastes like. –1
Ghiradeli chocolates are much cheaper & tastier than Sees.
Sees should take a good lesson from real European chocolates, real authentic tasting chocolates, no preservatives, less focus on marketing & more focus on improving upon its products so that customers can truly really enjoy their chocolates. =)
If you’be eaten real European chocolates & are true chocolate lovers then you’d understand & agree to what I’m saying. =)
The only decent things that Sees has here are the Lollypops BUT the new flavor, Chocolate Caramel Lollypops are just weird tasting. =(

This place was crazy busy when I came.
But the miss who helped me still was terribly terribly nice and asked us all of the considerate customer service questions she would normally ask if we were the only people in the store.
See’s also has the best pricing for chocolate, and the quality… LET’S BE HONEST, IT’S FREAKING SEE’S CANDIES!

This is my favorite See’s shop. yes, it’s in the mall but it’s in the Bear side of the mall so the parking is reasonable and it’s easy to get to cuz it’s really close to the Macys Home store where you can park, come up the escolator and be in and out easily. Reason I love this place is the staff. everytime I come in here they are so incredibly friendly and helpful. I know, I know. most See’s stores are that way but for some reason the people who work here always seem to be in a great mood.
I also happen to love their candy but the service really makes this particular store a stand out. :-)

I love this place! They are so happy to be working there… and treat their customers so well. Generous with samples, compliments, smiles… It’s no wonder See’s is so successful!
We had our samples, and as we were paying for our chocolate, we asked for another sample of the sugar free dark chocolate with walnuts… YUM! SO TASTY!

I am not a fan of chocolates, but when I have a rare craving of chocolates, See’s is my top choice.
Dark Chocolate Covered Cherry is the best chocolate covered cheery I have ever had. Very juicy inside, which is extremely difficult to achieve.
California Crunch is also one of my favorites. Not overly sweet, perfect blend of toffee, nuts and white chocolate.
Their lollipops are also amazing, I love the chocolate flavored pops. I always have a box of little pops on my desk somewhere.
Costco sells a 2-​pound voucher for $ 25.99, strong recommended.

I’m in here all the time.
The chocolate is good. Not exactly rewriting the rules of chocolate or anything. The dark chocolate chip truffle– that’s what got me addicted to this place in the beginning though I haven’t had it in ages. This one is definitely quicker than the Bristol side of the plaza.
I keep coming back though because the staff is so nice and friendly. They are always smiling, always nice and sometimes will sneak a couple of extra pieces in your bag.

Old ladies are sloooooooooow, even with a doublebacked line for the custom boxes
And then the customer in front of you is always, «I’ll take one of that… one of that… no, not THAT, that, no no no, THAT» (repeat ad nauseum) and then the dreaded «For my second box…»
But the mister likes what the mister likes, and if your mister likes, then make sure you have an hour or two to kill waiting in line (and maybe a full iPod), at least during Christmas season!

I enjoy this location better than the one in the «big mall», it is quick and easy to get to for when I’m in that «gotta have it» stage of the month! ;)
The staff is friendly and very helpful. They spend time discussing best picks. I especially like to bring See’s candies as gifts when I go visit people in other states. Everyone loves the treats.
I especially love the free samples for just browsing and the extra goodies they give when you make a purchase. Yummy!

There is no better box of chocolates on the whole planet than See’s Nuts and Chew. I swear I ate a whole box all by myself in 3 days. It was SOOOOOOOO good I could not stop reaching for the next piece even while I was still working on the one in my mouth. The Scotch Mallow has got to be my absolute favorite (that’s the one with caramel and marshmellow on the inside) followed by the dark chocolate almond cluster. Nuts and Chew only has chocolates with either nuts or caramel or marshmallow. The only piece I do not like in the box is the one with walnuts.

Oh yes! A girl cannot live on low fat food alone. See’s Candies is a must when I am shopping the mall. First, a free sample for anyone who steps foot in the store. They will let you choose your sample if they offer you one that you don’t like. Butterscotch Squares are the best! Perfectly married salty-​sweet flavors dipped in milk chocolate. I get 2 of these every time I am there. The downside to this location… the lack of staff. Monday afternoon, there was only 1 person working the counter. I actually left without my candy. I just couldn’t wait any longer.
