See’s Candies

It’s all the same good stuff you grew up with (at least if you grew up on the West Coast) and more. You can buy as much or as little as you want, like one lollipop or 20, one pound box, five pound box, mix or match, it’s all here — plus they still make the good peanut brittle and toffee chips. Sugar free selections are limited though.
Seasonal favorites too, like chocolate covered berries in summer, and all the holiday favorites will eventually be there. Small but packed store.

Besides being deliriously excited and happy See’s has arrived in Lafayette, I am certain this store location will meet and exceed expectations. What a gift to have a See’s store 5 minutes from my home in Orinda. Welcome to the Lamorinda neighborhood.

Fantastic, thoughtful staff with excellent recommendations and a long memory. For the overwhelmed guests, a sample will help refocus; give the ladies an idea of palate preferences and they will fill a box with mindful selections.
Have popped in many times since opening.

So nice and friendly in here. Great addition to the Whole Foods strip.

A quaint little location. It was empty.
I bought a few items. My new favorite is pecans with caramel and chocolate. I like scotchmallows (marshmallow top with caramel bottom dipped in dark chocolate), scotch kiss (caramel dipped marshmallow in a wrapper), milk chocolate almonds, sometimes chocolate raisins. The worker gave me a sample (but I asked).
Pleasant experience and I’d come back. It’s next to chipotle, peets, Jamba Juice.

See’s is everywhere! Everytime I have a craving for Scotch Mallows, they are so dependable and reliable to be found. My best friend definitely plus you get a sample for each visit. Nice staff.

Chocolate wins out over coffee.
The line in Peet’s was just too long so I broke down and went to See’s instead. I was trying to save my first visit for when I brought my mother (a long time See’s *freak*…has even toured See’s SF twice because of my sharp auction bidding skills… and at the time, unlimited credit card limits!) but the calling of Dark Raspberry was too strong.
I walked in and admired the perfectly clean store. Of course, it is new so it is also clean. The smell of newness outweighed the chocolate smell. I can forgive this, because now there is a See’s on my drive home, right next to the bank I go to, and in the same parking lot as Whole Foods where I stopped when I am eating healthy. Oh wait, conflict, healthy eating and See’s candy! Still, See’s was very smart to put this store here; it is a tiny gem in this Lafayette strip mall.
PS I do wish I could get every piece of candy, every time, as fresh as I got today. These candies were almost as fresh as the times I have been given them off of the conveyor belt at the See’s factory. Luckily, rarely do I get a piece of See’s which is stale.
