“This place feels like it is straight out of Diagon Alley. I think that the aged, cantankerous owner may very well be a wizard. But he and the other staff are part of this tiny shop’s charm.
I don’t know how they fit so many interesting bars of artisan chocolate in such a blink of a space. But they do, spanning across many shapes, textures, and flavors, to truly have something for everyone, from Easter rabbits for the smallest child, to fancy bon bons fit for a picky sommelier.
If you want to make a holiday or occasion special with some memorable treats, this is the place to do it. And, it’s right next to a bakery, which is perfect for grabbing a scone or loaf of bread while you’re there.”
“Just got this text this am. When I lived in Mill Valley and was downtown I often felt compelled to poke my nose into Two Neat to check out the cards and items for a laugh. Laugh out loud laughs! Love the owner and employees. Gosh darn it, I've moved out of state to Oregon! Now where the heck am I going to get such entertaining Christmas cards? (Birthday cards, etc..)”
“Sakura is amazing! The onigiri is delicious and you can really tell it is fresh. I love their options for Japanese snacks and it's nice to have these options in the neighborhood. Worth a visit if you like onigiri and Japanese snacks! Very friendly service as well and free candies when you buy stuff :) I had a wonderful experience”
“Love See's candies, I know them for 10 years, every time visit bay area I will buy loads and travel back with them.The staff in this store is super! All of them deserve a raise! You can feel the culture and why they could made candies so good.Love it, and keep it up!One complain, please open an Ireland store or at least a EU online shopping store. Please Please Please.”
“See's has streamlined and improved the holiday shopping experience. It was orderly, quick, and the service was super. Even on a busy day, everyone was helped, moved through the line quickly, and got what they needed. My only surprise was the very limited assortment of candies for Passover. I'd hoped for a lovely box of Kosher chocolates--but all they had were milk chocolate coins, lollipops, and toffeetts. Still, See's can't be topped.”
“Love coming here! The owners are the sweetest (no pun intended). The selection here is great, you can find Asian candy, European candy and the regular American ones like sour patch kids. They just added an ice cream section which I am obsessed with! Overall this pace is a kids dream and an adults playground when it comes it candy. Definitely a place to visit!”

“It’s a cute little hole-in-the-wall to indulge your inner child with. It’s small store front boasts a large selection of all the staple little sugar fixes a candy jar could ever contain. Their staff is hella nice too and that’s really the icing on the cake for me! I just wish they were open late nights. ???? ????!”
“Cutesy ice cream parlor, been around for a while. Very colorful and always up to date with different themes and holidays inside. The service is quick and super efficient. The fudge tastes artificial, but you can never go wrong with the ice cream.”

“A clean well-lighted place to buy chocolate. Workers are always pleasant, helpful, and they offer a free sample! Sees candy is lead free too, something many chocolates aren't these days.
Kid-friendliness: Free sample always makes my grandkids happy.
Wheelchair accessibility: Flat easy entry.”
“My sister traveled to Iceland and bought this candy.(chocolate covered licorice). She shared it with me and wanted more. I found it with My German Candy based in Portland Oregon. Great taste, great service! I bought a bag for her which she will be getting soon. Thank you My German Candy.. and the licorice lollipop you sent as a sample is delicious? i will be ordering those for me?”
“Today 12/3/23 I had the pleasure of being helped by Gianna C. She was SO helpful and friendly! I was trying to find a gift for someone with a nut allergy and she answered all my questions and gave me several options. Thank you Gianna C. at Stonestown!!”
“Tried the beignets at Off the Grid at Fort Mason! Lovely way to finish the night. We got the Strawberry cheesecake one, and the filling was DELICIOUS. so creamy and added a good amount of sweetness to the bread. The other one was Apple Pie filling, but it was slightly dry. Make sure you enjoy them by the fire pits :)”
“Amazing candy store, we drove over two hours so my daughter could get some Swedish candy. It was everything she expected and more!

“Always a pleasure to come in and shop. Love they are offering more sugar free options. See’s candy is NOT taxed in SF/CA! Which is amazing! Double reasons why I always come during the holidays for myself and family gifts. Highly recommend.
Wheelchair accessibility: They usually leave their doors open. First level / street level entry. Accessible street parking outside, as well.”
“If you are looking for something sweet to eat, this is the place! Several floors to choose the type of candy you are looking for or that you were not looking for but you will be getting to know! A tremendous and very large and varied place! It's worth knowing”

Fresh and small batch- made.When get back to San Francisco, "SF Chocolate" will be on my place of must get to places.Photograph attached of the tin of chocolates which I had received.”

“It’s an old fashioned candy shop. There’s a lot of saltwater taffy here, along with other old and new candy type to offer for kids. I saw many types of candy that I couldn’t imagine existing. Overall, good experience and probably good souvenir gifts for friends and families.
Kid-friendliness: It’s candy! What’s else?!
Wheelchair accessibility: The store is quite cramped with all the barrels, so wheelchair people should take note.”
“Why isn't this store advertised more? When searching for candy or sugar on Yelp by Stonestown, this place does not show up. I was visiting apple store so found it by coincidence. I was pleasantly surprised by the well-organized categories of candy. The store is a great place to find gifts and easy to locate what you're looking for. Also, there is a fun seasonal selection located by the front of the store. Much more pleasant that it's sugar by pier in my opinion to browse.”
“Andre from Pier 39 was great. The first night we decided to not buy anything but due to his artistry and amazing customer service, we went back. With his wonderful conversational skills we decided to purchase a treat. Andre is a jewel and a pleasure to meet! Thank you Andre, my sister and I wish you great success!”
“The Salt Water Taffy from Munchies of Sausalito is one of the most delicious and high-quality taffies I’ve ever tried. Each bite is full of amazing flavors, with a soft and smooth texture that makes for a delightful experience. The variety of flavors is incredible, ranging from classic choices like vanilla and chocolate to more unique and unexpected combinations. Every time you try one, it’s like embarking on a new flavor adventure!
In addition to the fantastic taste, the packaging is elegant and beautiful, making it a great choice for gifting as well. If you’re looking for a unique experience in the world of sweets, don’t miss out on the Salt Water Taffy from Munchies of Sausalito. You’ll fall in love with them just like I did!
Special thanks to Sam, the owner, for crafting such wonderful treats with love and care!”
