I have to give this See's location five stars for a couple of reasons. I came here on a business trip to pick up 125 of their 1 lb assorted boxes for Christmas gifts for my department. For some reason that was not explained to me, the form of payment for these given me by my manager was a stack of *many* gift cards. The amount of time it took to individually scan a sufficient number of these to pay for the boxes amounted to just over an hour. So, I had all that time to just hang out in the store and wait. And what do you do when hanging out in a See's with a staff and manager who are grateful for the largest transaction in the store's history?
Unlimited chocolate samples.
How many could you eat? I thought they were small enough I could sample as many as I could fill up on. Haha, not so. Not so at all. I reached 5 and had to bend over and stand back from the counter. The manager kept telling me "you can have as many as you want, here try this one..." I choked down a sixth one and asked for some water, which they don't serve. So, after begging the ice cream shop next door (sic) for ice water and sitting outside for 20 minutes or so. I came back in and the guy behind the counter asked if I wanted to try a Rum Raisin Truffle with him. We did it like a shot. I barely escaped a sugar coma.
The chocolate is good. The assortments definitely vary and are high on mystery. The curiosity / reward of discovering what's in center of each is like a yummy game. I prefer the creamy, fruity varieties typically. The store itself has a classic feeling. Everyone who enters is offered a sample or two. And it really is very much like being a kid in a candy store to be handed a sampler tray and offered to pick any piece you want. Total throwback.
High marks for service, enthusiasm, cleanliness, and a solid product. Vive la See's!
