“ Sorry friendly staff, clean store. I love that you can customize your own box of handpicked candies from a huge selection and they give you free fullsized samples to help you choose. A little expensive, but tasty. ”
“ How can a chocolate factory so consistently treat all its employees across so many places to be as kind, sincere in their attitude, warm and pleasing to every customer as this brand does!? We were enroute to SFO airport and chanced to see that the factory itself is here. Was quite good to know. As usually get a whole bunch of samplers. They have such a wide variety of chocolates that are brilliant in itself. I never knew the willy Wonka and the chocolate factory was based on sees ! Also that a few of the timeless recipes are those of the mom. No, they do not give factory tours and that is coz the formula is a secret ”
“ Just stopped here as I was passing through for work, very clean and well maintained store. Lots of different candy to choose from and I couldnt decide but Mary S did a great job with recommending what she thought I would like. Very helpful and knew all about the different flavors and textures of the candies. Thank you Mary S. ”
“ Alicia was so welcoming and helpful in her profession and not to mention their great huge variety of chocolates, this is one of the best candy shops in all over California. Highly recommend this place because of their professional customer service and great taste. As soon as we walked into sees candy shop , we were greeted and welcomed by two great wonderful ladies Alicia , and Nora. Weve received couple of samples and the great , delicious and tasty chocolate sold its self. It taste like its homemade, all of the assorted chocolate candy and many more incredibly taste fresh. Highly recommend this place . ”

“ This is a 1 Million Star Review, as the Sees Candy Company and this location in South San Francisco, CA also serves as the Corporate Headquarters has a special place in my heart. Mary Sees was a self made woman, who during trying financial times, started her little Candy Company all by herself. She looks like my mom, and the candies are delicious, and seem to have that homemade quality. They are also unique, but unpretentious, and celebrate each occasion from Easter to the Superbowl with related candies. Diabetic friendly options are available too. The South San Francisco, CA location like all others is clean, reliable, and my first stop from the airport. I would unquestionably recommend the Mary Sees Candy Company. out of Free parking in the parking lot. American Express friendly, and promo codes available online, and at CostCo. ”
“ I remember as a little girl, wed go here for special occasions to buy treats for people who were visiting or to just get a small treat as a lollipop or a dish of candy. I loved driving by to see the decorations change on the roof for Christmas, Valentines, Easter, etc. This place has not changed much. Its bright and inviting. You still get a free sample while walking around. The ladies that work here are super nice and helpful. The main thing that caught me off guard 1 lb of chocolate is 31? I remember when, back in the day, it was less than 20, and then it went up to like 23. 31 is highway robbery. 2 lbs is 59. Im all for the nostalgia, but at these prices, Im not sure anymore. ”
“ With attendants being very humble and helpful, this place has been in the neighborhood for a long time. The free samples given to taste their flavors are a plus. I work in a local High School and would love to have my students to visit their factory in a field trip I tried, sending a letter of request, but it was denied, due to still Covid Restrictions. We will try again thus school year... ”
