See's Candies — Local services in San Mateo

Tasty chocolate, excellent service. We tried it twice and both times the quality of the chocolate was excellent and so was the service. They have a good variety of milk and dark chocolate, with nuts and with different fillings. We also loved the fact that we can try different chocolates before we buy. They sell by the pound, $32.50/lb. A bit pricey but worth the money considering the quality and the service. There are ready boxes or you can choose the varieties you want, all at the same price. According to the worker: they are made in San Francisco, are delivered once a week, and they sell quickly. This is important because freshness is key...

Oh man I didn’t look at his name tag (maybe his name was Mike???) but the gentleman who helped my mother, brother and I was SO DANG PLEASANT. Kind of on the tall side, dark hair. The quality of service was great! Very personable, yet professional. We even bantered about pretzel dogs while perusing the glass case lined with delicious chocolates. It makes me want to never go to another See’s except this one ever again - in hopes to have this guy...

It was a literal treat today buying these delicious chocolates from Luz, who works at the shop! She was so generous with her time and patience, and let us sample the peppermint chocolates, coconut, buttercream and more. As a New Yorker, I am such a convert now to See’s and it was a blast getting to be in the shop in person and have her help me out and recommend her favorites. Thanks so much, Luz, and I’m absolutely coming...
