“This is a very cute shop with a great selection of candies from all over the world. The owner of the shop, Max, was very generous and offered us samples of Swedish gummies, and a matcha flavored milk chocolate candy which we loved and we highly recommend buying the matcha candy. The shop itself felt like a little trip to childhood nostalgia and it offers all sorts of candies from different countries in the world like Swedish chocolates, Japanese versions of the Kitkats, Asian candy treats and a lot more. Some of the candies are vegan, and made with clean products so you should definitely visit this with your kid. Also, I heard they have like a once in a while DJ nights for the kids, so do check out their instagram to follow for those events.”

“This place is awesome ! Especially the knowledge of Chocolate from all over the world. A wonderful San Francisco original! You're going to get lost in Chocolate”
“Awesome little sweets spot in West Portal on the Main Street. They carry a variety of flavors of Mitchell’s ice cream, a local SF fave. Super friendly staff and service.”
“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.”
“Passing by this cute little shop from the inner sunset flea market. Interesting products from Japan and Korea. The origini was nice too! Quite big chuck of salmon.”
“I always drop in here when I'm in this area to see if there's anything new, and if so, enjoy a free sample as soon as I walk in. Pro tip: always say yes, it's the best way to try before you buy! The staff is always incredibly friendly and patient, chatting about favorites even with a bit of a holiday crowd, seriously, they're the sweetest part of the experience. I loaded up on the milk chocolate Scotchmallow bars which are finally back in stock after hearing folks complain about them selling out, some buttery caramels that melt in your mouth, and the roasted nut assortment coated in rich dark chocolate. Everything tastes so fresh and authentic, no preservatives or junk, just pure, decadent goodness.
The place has that cozy, old-fashioned vibe in the Richmond, perfect for grabbing gifts or treating yourself on a whim. Prices are fair, portions generous in those boxes, and it's open decent hours for spontaneous cravings.”
“We're from North Carolina and LOVE Sees Candies. The free samples is so novel, I love it! There was one rule about free samples (I thought it would be a maximum or 2 or 3 pieces) but it was you can only have one at a time - I can live with that! Beyond the free samples it's the best chocolates I've ever eaten - absolutely love them. Staff are super nice too.”

“I sadly don't live in Sweden, the land of the world's best candy. But luckily I don't have to because Giddy supplies all my sugary fixes. I'm so grateful for Giddy and the owner, who goes out of her way to keep the store stocked with my favorite treats, along with stock the jars with other candies from around the world.The prices are right, the owner is incredible, and you won't be able to find this candy anywhere else in the West. I probably go here twice a week to stock up. Definitely my favorite store in San Francisco.”
“Great kosher items!
And food is very good!
Pricey ! We got schwarma plate and falafel plate . Each had hummus, Israeli salad and rice . Delicious!”
“It’s literally a heaven for candy lovers!
Any type of sweets you can think of!
My kids enjoyed the place and the girl who helped us was super nice!”
“Astonishingly delicious and delightful candy shop new to FiDi!!! What a pleasant surprise addition and now a must-go destination for THE BEST sweet and sour Swedish Fish in multiple flavors (Elderflower, Sour Berry, Peach etc), cookies and other local treats — and don’t miss their house-made toffee bites which are confection perfection!”

“Great candy store. They have pretty much any type of candy you can think of. Cool how most the candy is in barrels. Only downside is the store is always very busy but that just shows it is good. Definitely recommends for your candy needs.”

“Ok, so I really only got to spend 20 mins in this place, but boy howdy, don't take your teenage daughters! There is SOOOOOOO much stuff that they would go crazy for! They have really funny tee-shirts that are only 5.55! Man, I'm for sure going back, but I'm bringing my girls with me!!!”
“One of nicest presents received was a tin of "San Francisco Chocolate Factory" dark chocolate drops.Good taste and flavor. 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.”
“With it being one of the last remaining See's Candy locations left in San Francisco it can get pretty crowded at times. The online order for in-store pickup is convenient but a bit Limited”
“This place was what I needed to find Swedish candy in the bay! I went to Bon Bon in NYC and they were all out…so I was happy to see this place fully stocked. You don’t serve yourself, you have to ask one of the associates to give you a scoop while you pick the candy, but that didn’t bother me. I may have actually preferred it that way so I can focus on what I wanted.”
“Free samples, servers super friendly, especially our server Nicole who helped us pick from the many many choices. Would recommend apart from the fudge, the rice crispy bars”
“My favorite candy store, great variety and super reasonable prices! Have a few international brands towards the windows, and over the years have had some very good fruit-flavored sweets from Italy, Germany, and others.
Owners are as nice as can be.”
