Great staff - friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable! This is the only See's Candies store on the East Coast, with product flown in weekly from Los Angeles to ensure freshness!Food: 5/5
See's Candies is a wonderful place to visit. The decor takes you back to a special time that is warm, magical and full of cherished family memories. The chocolate is amazing!! So fresh and delicious, with so many flavors to choose from. Great for gifts, and great to treat yourself! I love it!! The staff were very pleasant, the manager is kind and informative, they know their candy. This is also the only See's on the East coast. I got a 1 pound box of chocolates, I let the team know what kind of flavors myself and my husband typically like, and they built a box with great suggestions in mind. My favorite is strawberry cream, everything was so good. Thank you, I will be back!
This store feels like a classic old-fashioned candy shop with checkerboard flooring and an elegant presentation of candy and truffles in display cases - a huge variety. My favorites are the Peppermint Krispies, Dark Molasses Chips, Dark Nougat, and Raspberry Truffles - so delicious! This place is legendary. Growing up in California, every mall had a ‘See’s Candies’ store - It’s a California tradition with a very loyal customer base and a history that goes back generations. This definitely takes me back to the best of my childhood. There are very few of these stores on the East Coast and I do appreciate how rare and special it is to have this store here.
The staff was really friendly! And this is See's so of course the chocolates are great. I'd walk a mile for a box of Nuts & Chews and, since this is NYC, I *did* walk a mile for a box of Nuts & Chews!Food: 5/5
A friend loves Sees, so tend to pop in to buy him a box when I'm in the area. Cute little place, with nice ambience on entering - despite the small size. Chocolates are good but wildly expensive. They only very rarely seem to have the Mixed Milk box, the one I actually want, but will make up a custom box if you ask. Not as good for travel, however, and works out more expensive. Service is hit and miss. It's always been either quiet and deserted when I've gone in and still can't predict. One guy with kind of auburn curly hair has been there a few times and may be a manager? He's great and makes you feel like an actual person, not an inconvenience. Others can be nice or disinterested. A peculiarity that drives me crazy is their insistence on saying "you don't want a bag, do you?" and "you don't want a receipt, do you?". Apparently the franchise owners demand it and it rankles. Maybe I DO want a bag and/or receipt? Minor thing, but it comes across as a bit paternalistic, patronising and miserly. Such a bizarre approach to customer service. I just spent over $100 on chocolate, so I'd prefer you didn't become dismissive as I hand over the money.
This place is more expensive than the web site and other shops in the West. Also, you cannot use gift cards at this shop. Staff told me that it’s more expensive because it’s in NYC. Lol.. Just to give you an example, the toffee ettes 1 lb can is $33 at this shop but the rest is $29. Staffs were friendly and nice. They were patience to answer all my questions. They wrapped my chocolate boxes nice.
I have been ordering from See's for over 30 years since we moved from the Bay area. Product and service had been outstanding. Recently, wrong candies delivered. Now, they arrived totally melted. I know they will reship, but the gift I ordered for my wife's birthday was a huge disappointment.
See’s is a truly delicious candy and a great company. A longtime California staple, it’s been around since 1921 for good reason. They have a wide assortment of creams, covered nuts, and many others. The Chocolate candy lollipops are fantastic. Ask for a free sample when you stop by!
Terrible experience ordering online and having shipped to my place. Came all melted and fused together. Such a shame for the price they charge and shipping they charge for their products. Ordered for gifting too. But obviously that can’t happen now. Never again.
It was a very delicious and melty type of chocolate. I liked it very much
