See's Candies

This place is magical. As soon as I walked in, I was happily greeted by the staff and offered a sample. It really felt like a quintessential candy store. The selection was great, and the staff was fun and cheery. Definitely will be going back whenever I want some good chocolate Oh yeah, and the chocolate is amazing.

Came in for a Secret Santa gift - and of course, had to buy something for myself too!

My experience in almost all See's candy stores is typically positive. The days of the grumpy old ladies (who didn't want to share an extra piece of candy) are over. There is one store in particular that I patronize the most. When I went into this store at Christmas one particular young employee epitomized an old timey candy store employee. He was so nice and helpful. The store was so crowded, people go crazy in candy stores at Christmas but he was unflappable and patient. This one lady ... ugh. I was ready to clunk her upside the head for him but he handled her beautifully. The biggest test came last Saturday night (3/2/24) when I needed something to cheer up my mother and last minute decided to go to See's. It was a race against the clock and I got there literally one moment before close, 6:59 pm. I rushed in apologizing like mad and said I would just be a minute I only needed a few candies tossed into a bag. It was the same guy from Christmas. I looked for it, but there wasn't even a hint of attitude for the idiot who blows in 1 minute before closing wanting a random bag of candy, not even a prepared box. I complimented him once I completed my purchase and told him I'm impressed with his service and kindness. I'm a curmudgeon, I have to give credit where credit is due. If this kid keeps going the way he's going, he will own a chain of these stores someday. I was in sales for a long time and it's true that when people get exceptional or very bad service they talk, and I can't tell you how many people I've recommended to the Los Altos store and why. A few people knew who I was talking about and told me that's why they also make a point of going to that particular store. Good hire, Los Altos See's. (I would post a picture of the candies I picked out but to be real, they didn't last long. At one point I actually had to toss the bag into the back seat so a few could make it home in literally, one piece.) Parking: Handicap parking in the front and tons of parking in the back. Kid-friendliness: Not particularly crazy about kids in candy stores but yeah, they're welcome. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access by wheelchair.
