Rocket Fizz

Such a neat candy shop to look at and they offer sugar free candy as well as regular. So fun and yummy (:

Really neat candy store in winter park with unusual and hard to find candies and sodas. Store was clean and well organized and staff were friendly and offered to help if we had any questions. Yes some of the candy can be s little pricey but you have to realize it is a really neat store and you are also paying for the experience, plus they have candy that many other stores fail to have. I especially liked the extensive amount of salt water taffy in some different and unusual flavors and they even had diet cheerwine which I find not many stores carry anymore.

Every time I’ve been here, the staff has been friendly and helpful. I love their soda selection, and they have lots of strange flavors. It might be a little more expensive than usual but the selection definitely makes it worth it. I just went today and already I want to go back!

I finally visited Rocket Fizz after I stumbled upon a post about it on FB. Today I had a major sweet tooth and stopped by. Upon entering no one greeted me although the guy behind the register clearly saw me come in. There were exactly 3 other patrons and they were together so it wasn’t busy plus the door has a bell to alert you when some one enters. I walked around perusing the selections which were a complete disappointment! Most of the candy was not nostalgic but regular current popular candy you could buy from any local store. I was hoping to find candy buttons etc… They did have «Kitts» which I was looking for but they only had vanilla and chocolate flavors. I did purchase a few pieces (5) and was flabbergasted at the cost of the coconut bar I bought. I had no idea it was $ 4.59 until after I paid for it! But I didn’t make a big deal out of it b/​c it was purchased for a friend and it happens to be her favorite candy. My grand total for two peanut chews, a sugar daddy, a fun sized kit kat, and the coconut bar was $ 11.45! I feel the items in this store are way overpriced and besides the taffy and sodas there isn’t really a great selection of candy.

As a life long root beer /​cream soda fanatic this place is my hook up. Tons of independent sodas from around the county that will make you give Pepsi the middle finger. Love it. Plus all the candies from around the world. Top that off and it’s in a great location right in the middle of the amazing Winter Park. Love it.

I absolutely LOVE the selection of candies and sodas that this shop has to offer. It’s definitely got a good mix of nostalgia and newness. The sodas are so unique and some are outright HILARIOUS. My favorite is the cotton candy soda. Of course I also love anything that is cotton candy flavored so there’s that.

What a cute little candy spot! My sister and I were randomly strolling up and down on Park Ave and stumbled upon this place. It’s a candy store that offers all kinds of old fashion candy and sodas. There were several things that brought me back to my childhood and others that were clearly before my time lol. The store is a nice size and offers a huge variety of everything candy related. They also sale candy paraphernalia. I purchased two small pieces of salt water taffy that took me forever to pick out because there were so many flavors to choose from. This place is definitely worth the stop!

There is a ton of good candy here, much of it retro as well as posters and other assorted trinkets. You can also find just about any flavor of soda (pop) you could imagine. It’s FUN store but it is rather expensive! I happen to love Canadian Smarties and if I really want them I know I can buy them here but it will cost me an arm and a leg. It’s a great place to buy fun and unique gifts but I wouldn’t come in here with any kids unless I had Oprah’s check book on me.

Definitely a neat little candy shop on the ever amazing Park Ave area! This place not only carries your typical candies but also some that are from around the world!
Candy isn’t the only crazy or wacky thing here as Rocket carries all variety of boutique soft drinks, energy drinks, and other goodies! This place is definitely a must visit for anyone who likes to peruse the shops on Park Ave.

Throw in some oompa-​loompas and this is a candy store I think Willy Wonka would be proud to put his seal of approval on! (but please don’t, because their staff is super friendly!!)
What sets them apart for me is their insanely vast collection of colas, root beers, ginger beers, fruit sodas and beyond (what else do you consider sweet corn soda??). You tell yourself you’re only going to get one, but there’s no way you won’t walkout without at least a 4 pack. Highlights for me included finding bawls and moxie!
They also have tons of candies, chocolates, gum, etc. from something you’d see at your grandparents house to candy from the Asian markets. They have the classic «everything can be made of bacon section» which I avoided like the plague and hello kitty lovers should find plenty of specialized treats here.
This is definitely a store worth stopping in to complete any park ave stroll.

If you are looking for nostalgic candy such as pop rocks, fun dip, zots, or good and plenty, this is your place! If saltwater taffy is your thing, they have every flavor you can imagine. They also have a crazy amount of sodas from all of the country that I have never heard of before. You will truly feel like a kid in a candy store here.

With a large selection of sodas, novelties, taffy, and foreign candies, Rocket Fizz is a fun store to browse through. The prices aren’t over-​the-​top, either. The staff was friendly and asked if we needed anything, and helped me locate the most sour candy in the store, Toxic Waste. With all the candy I bought, I was happy with every single bite.

Need a sugar fix? This is the place to go. Nestled in bustling Winter Park off Park Avenue, perfect place for a novelty shop such as this one. The store reminded me of the Praline Magnolia store in New Orleans.
The store have sweet treats that you can’t find in regular stores like green tea kitkat bars in addition to candy found in stores. There are specially sodas adorning one wall and throughout the store and also hot sauces. There’s also some gag gifts.
When you step into this place it’ll almost feel like you are in Willy Wonka’s ChocolateFactory.

Very interesting selection of soda’s from the exotic to the mundane. If you are looking for an unusual flavor or something from your past chances are they will have it here. Candy is also featured and you can be sure to find your long lost childhood favorites at Rocket Fiz. This is a great store to spend your time browsing and to reconnect with the nostalgia of the past as well as to share a smile or laugh from those hidden candy stealing days of your youth.

Looking for a hard-​to-​find treat, usually found in a foreign country? Then Rocket Fizz is your best bet. My wife has been on the hunt for green tea Kit Kat, and this was the only location that had it in stock. We’ve been by several times, and are always amazed at the random candies that can be found. If you have a sweet tooth, you should definitely swing on by.

We went int there on a whim and I’m glad we did. We had such a great experience! The store is filled to the brim with classic soda’s and candies, some that you see everywhere (i.e. the Reese’s brand) but then you had a whole bacon section of things i’ve never seen before. Bacon Mustache? What? I didn’t know about the «make your own six pack» thing but I will definitely check that out next time. I LOVE TRYING INTERNATIONAL CANDIES and their selection did not disappoint.
The only downfall for me was the two people running the store weren’t really mingling with the crowd asking if anyone needed anything, they really just sat there talking to these two girls the whole time (the whole 30 minutes we were in there) and I hate that so I took off one star for customer service.
Despite all that, I loved the selection and the feel of the store so I will most definitely be back!

Any place that sells real birch beer is ok in my book. This is a fun place. They have all sorts of candies from our childhoods that are difficult to find these days. They also have countless specialty soda’s (or as we call it in Boston, tonic) Craving bubble gum soda? They have it. Watermelon soda? They have it. Guava soda? they have it. Now, I am not much of a soda drinker at all, but when I was a wee lad we drank birch beer, which is kind of like root beer but made from the root of a birch. Well, they had several brands here and that made me nostalgic and happy. I scanned the ingredients to find one that used real birch and off I was with several bottles of my favorite childhood drink.
I shall return.

Gahhhh!!! Cookie dough flavored soda?! Where have you been all my life?
Walking into Rocket fizz is like realizing all my childhood dreams, whilst simultaneously getting cavities and diabetes. It’s a sugar overload! They have a good mix of international, classic, and contemporary candies — there’s nothing you can’t find here. Heck, I even found fair-​trade chocolate bars here. How cool is that?
With tables dedicated to candies from Asian, Middle Eastern, and European candies, you can eat your way around the world like a bona fide Willy Wonka. lol. And If you feel like being healthy, they have a table full of sugar-​free sweets for you to nom on. Don’t even get me started on the sodas. You can literally spend an hour looking through their selection alone.
Apple Pie Soda? They got that.
Peanut Butter Soda? Yum!
Dog…Drool…Soda? Yea, they have that too, apparently.
You get it, there’s a soda for everyone!
If you’re not in the mood for their sweets, I recommend checking out their gift ideas floating around. Posters, tin signs, random knick-​knacks — they’re all awesome!
My only tiff is that a lot of the candies are overpriced — even the local American ones.

Holy candy, Batman! It’s really an overwhelming, in a fun way, experience when you walk in here.
There are thousands of bottled soda pops and candies from all over America. Seriously, there are different sections for all the different candy including an entire table of no sugar candy. Yep, they got it all.
As far as the soda — wow! There is a huge range from
Rocket Fizz Gingerbread
Rocket Fizz Green Apple Jalapeño (WHAT?)
to
Mighty Mouse Blue Cream
The Wizard Of Oz Cherry Cola
to
Kim Jung Ill Nuclear Orange Bomb
Peanut Butter Soda
to
Lester’s Fixins Bacon Soda
Melba’s Fixins Lemon Meringue Pie Soda
You can make your own pack or even make your own label for a cool family or friend gift! Speaking of gifts, not only can you make a candy basket but there are hundreds of retro and gag gifts, and concert posters and movie posters, and tin signs too. It really adds to the nostalgic feel while walking around the store, I couldn’t stop taking photos!
The customer service was awesome too. We were immediately greeted and asked if it was our first time. We were then informed of all the selections etc and then left to discover on our own.
Check it out when you are in the area, I challenge you to not feel your sweet tooth tingling when you walk in =)

Very cool store with lots of classic candy’s and soda’s, they also have a figure of mini me from Austin Powers.
This store is definetly a most see when in the Park ave area but be ready to over pay for things, this store is over priced for all items but it is a nice place to go and see.
Friendly staff and the place seems popular.
