See's Candies — Local services in Colorado Springs

I can't exactly put my finger on why I didn't enjoy my visit to See's on North Academy in C. Springs. Maybe it was the person behind the counter that was void of any sort of character or emotion. Maybe it was the lack of any sort of living 'anything' in the store. No colors other than on the boxes of candy. Nothing that gave a sense of joy because I was in a candy store. Certainly the lack of ANY noise at all was just plain ol' creepy in itself. Music of some sort .... or a fan or SOMETHING other than a deathly silence and people whispering. Interactions of business was simply "hereyougoit'swhatyouwantedthankyouI'mdoingmyjob" "next" I found myself just finding something to buy for the girlfriend and getting the heck out of there. I can't explain it .... it was just really uncomfortable and uninviting to be browsing around any more than I had to. I expect the candy to be the usual quality I've come to expect with See's.

I have always purchased from See's since my local candy shop closed their doors almost 30 years ago. The candies made by See's are excellent. However, yesterday, I purchased two one pound boxes of assorted chocolates and the counter girl that waited on me was less than competent.

After spending over ninety dollars for these two boxes I was very...

Walking into See’s Candy in Colorado Springs feels like stepping into a simpler, sweeter era—like a charming little chocolate shop from decades ago. The smell of rich chocolate, the black-and-white uniforms, and the warm welcome you get right when you walk in… it’s all part of the magic.

We had such a great experience here! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering samples and making sure we found exactly what we were craving (and a few things we didn’t know we needed). I picked out the chocolate raspberry and raspberry truffles as a special treat for my wife for Mother’s Day, and they were a total hit—rich, smooth, and full of flavor.

It’s rare to find places that still deliver that old-school charm with such high-quality treats and amazing customer service. So glad we stopped in—definitely a go-to spot anytime we need a sweet pick-me-up or a...
