Rocket Fizz

Has something for everybody! A soda heaven! We bought the pb&j soda but were tempted to buy Ranch flavored and Bloody Nose… but we did buy the cheesecake flavored kit Kats were awesome!

One of the best and most cultural candy shops the Denver area has to offer!

Such a badass collect of soda! Gotta try their Jones crushed melon soda. So hard to find this flavor! And amazing rootbeer!

What a fun shop! I love going to Rocket Fizz when I am downtown. They have a very generous selection of sodas which is great because I am a root beer connoisseur and they have plenty to choose from. They have many different hard-​to-​find and everyday candies and plenty of fun toys and knick knacks. I like the cardboard stand-​ups they have and dream of taking home one of their displays.
Stop in if you’re nearby and have a look around. You won’t be disappointed!

I had issues with my credit card recently being manual keyed at this establishment in the last week as well like another reviewer. That is very sketchy considering I hadn’t used my debit card there in years. My bank luckily is looking into things and told me what is up with this. They used the minimum amount to be purchased thankfully, however it is still fraud and not okay. Do not use a card at this location period because you might magically get charged without knowing it.

Their credit card merchant apparently ran purchases and then ran them again this week. Basically, I paid for candy back in October in the amount of about $ 30 and then their merchant ran that purchase again this week for the same amount. I was livid! I know I will no longer shop there if they are using the cheapest merchant possible (and obviously a sketchy one, at that). So disappointing.
I’m checking out City Pop and It’s Sugar from now on!

this place is a meca for weird soda flavors and drinks but it doesn’t have the best candy selection, it does have very eclectic flavors from all over the world but it is not a self service bag type candy place like i was expecting and was looking for
they have basic everyday gas station as well

I am a huge fan of Rocket Fizz! Hannah was very helpful and the staff is always willing to goof around with me when I go to purchase the various treats I require. There is no finer place to purchase oversized gummies or antique soda pop in Denver. I can assure you that this candy shop is NOT a kaleidoscope of horrors.

Willie Wonka, eat your heart out! Your eyeballs will go into overdrive with all the happy, rainbow colors bursting throughout Rocket Fizz. This place has the best variety of old school candy and a crazy selection of sodas. There’s also an okay selection of Asian candy, but it’s cheaper just to buy them at an Asian market.
I was sorely disappointed to not find any Violet Crumble. That was one of my super duper favorite candy bars growing up in Hawaii. It would have been nice to verify if they even sold it and maybe I just overlooked it, but the staff was MIA and I was too short on time to wait around. Boo! I was even ready to buy a crap ton of taffy, but there was no one around. Oh well, I’ll just have to try again next time.

I wanted to love this place. I wanted to go for awhile now. Decided to surprise my kids with a trip downtown to Rocket Fizz. So very disappointed. Walked into an empty counter, took us a few to walk around and find an employee. No greeting at all.
We spent about 10 mins looking at everything, lots to look at. Fun nostalgic candy too. So expensive, I had figured it would be pricey but wow. I also thought they had a counter where you could sip on their huge selection of sodas, but no there is no counter.
I had expected to walk into this super fun place, with fun employees, that was not the case. I would have happily spent more money if I at least enjoyed myself in there.
So not friendly, lame vibe.
The outside entrance has red velvet ropes set up to show the way in, cute touch. BUT, the ropes the were faded and the balloons attached were sad and old looking. One was popped and the other way out of helium.
At least I can say we did it. Never again though.

I feel like a kid again in this place. I had forgot about so many of the candies that they carry until I seen them. EVERYONE needs to visit this shop. I’ve always had excellent service !!

WOW! What a fun place! The shop is jam packed with all kinds of candies and sodas. Everything from «vintage» faves you’ll remember from your childhood to imported treats to regional goodies! If you’re looking for an unusual gift or just a sweet treat, you’ll love this place!

Love this place! My husband drinks Moscow Mules and it can be so hard to find good Ginger Beer, but Rocket Fizz has a huge selection! They have so many different types, and flavors of soda, Faygo, Red Cream, etc.
If you love salt water taffy, they have every flavor you could ever imagine, and they have them in sugar free too!
The people are really helpful, and they will help you create the perfect gift basket for anyone on your list. You can pack it up in a fun 6-​pack bottle box and they will wrap it in plastic and ribbons for you too! Great bosses day gift!

This is a time killing store. Or maybe more of a time machine store. You walk in and are taken aback that so many different types of candies, chocolates and sodas exist! I mean there is on whole section for Ginger beer/​ale/​soda — 2 dozen varieties or more! Each stroll down an aisle brings back memories of a vacation, time with friends or some special sugar filled moment from youth. My mom, in particular, loves this store as it has all kinds of toys and candies from way back when. It is fun to walk around and hear the stories.
There really is no compliant here. Good location in Writer’s Square. Amazing selection. Prices all seem fine, maybe a little high but this isn’t exactly 7 – 11, it seems like a place you make a special trip for, so I don’t care. Love it!

This is the 2^nd Rocket Fizz I have been to and while this place is fun, unique and sweet their prices are pretty high. Their prices deterred me from buying more candies as part of my friend’s care package. It was just super pricy compared to what you could get some of the same candies for in other markets. Pocky and green tea kit kats here cost a grip more than you can find them in the Asian markets. I will give them props though for having a wide selection of taffies, sodas (though not many people drink soda anymore) and props for their nice and neat indoor setup.
You can find Idaho Spud chocolate treat here, green tea Aero candy (too sweet for my taste), Hello Kitty candies, salt water taffies, violet hard candies (also offered at World Market), and metal lunch boxes among other things.
The girl who helped me at the register was very friendly and chatty.

Kitsch and nostalgia is what you’ll find at this store. And a whole lotta sugar.
First of all, I have never in my life seen so many sodas! They line practically every wall and shelf in the store. They come in every color of the rainbow (and some colors you won’t find in nature).
Perhaps you might be interested in metal lunchboxes that take you back to your childhood, tin signs that say things like, «Mommy has a headache. Why don’t you kids go play in the traffic?», and black and white 8×10 prints of Janis Joplin and other rock stars of a bygone era.
Or maybe you’ll want to dive in to the bathtubs filled with taffy and other kinds of individually wrapped candies. They don’t weigh the candy, you just choose a bag size and fill it as full as you like for a flat rate. Not a bad deal.
If you’re looking for something that’s not easily found in the grocery store or drug store, check here. They have lots of old fashioned and hard to find candies. I got a Twin Bing and some Mallo Cups here. There are also some unusual candies that probably no one should eat. I’m talking about candy covered crickets and scorpions. Some people might call those exotic but to me it’s just gross.
Of course, you can also get the usual suspects, like Snickers, Reeses, Twizzlers, Milky Way, etc. But why would you do that when you can mix it up a bit?

I purposely held off visiting this place forever… and alas, i have broken that streak and am in love!
They have blow pops and cow tails (yup — weirdness abounds, but hey everyone’s childhood was different, and likes put upon by your parents are quirky!)
This place is huge and amazing and there is every kind of candy — seriously! And soda — omg — a trip down memory lane and teeth rotting goodness — hello real sugar!
We picked up this and that — purposely without a basket — and still left happily with a plastic baggie full for under $ 10!
They have candy from overseas — turkish twist (ewww) and kinder (mmm!)
Definitely a fun stop, and they are open late!

When you can walk into a candy store, ask the shopgirl for Jammie Dodgers, and not only does she know exactly what you’re looking for but sold the last pack yesterday BUT can find you three other goodies just like it as well as something pretty close to the jelly babies the fourth Doctor on the old BBC used to offer — then, you know you’ve found a keeper.
Love me some Rocket Fizz. I can find wacky soda and bacon-​flavored Pocky, the big packs of Necco wafers and every crazy Japanese treat I could want, as well as bulk penny candy and a variety of British goodies.
You have to check out the walls full of soda. Not just the old standbys, but crazier flavors than Jones could put out. And more brands of ginger or root beer than you can shake a stick at.
Bummed we didn’t have Jammie Dodgers for the Doctor’s regeneration on Christmas Eve, but we had plenty of other goodies to help us cope, thanks to Rocket Fizz!

Expensive? Rather. Nostalgic? You bet!
Rocket Fizz has a huge selection of older and harder to find candies. In fact, I am surprised they bother devoting shelf space to easy to find «present day» candy. But, they probably do not want to miss out on the customers who want these items. I like that they have divided some of the areas by origin (English Candy, Japanese Candy, etc.) The selection of gourmet and obscure sodas also seems pretty good.
I was a bit disappointed they did not have the particular English candy bar I was looking for my my recent visit (the young woman said they normally stock it, but have been out for a while). However, the people I was with on this visit seemed to find exactly what they were looking for. So, drop in, check it out, and get your sugar rush.

Not much gets me excited as a candy store, especially one as well stocked as Rocket Fizz. I like a lot of different types of candy just not sold in regular grocery stores. Rocket Fizz has most of them, including candy cigarettes (I just like the way they taste), all kinds of Kinder chocolates, Sixlets, Pop Rocks (inclulding chocolate covered!), and a million flavors of taffy! The only thing they were missing was Minstrels! They also a ton of different flavors of soda. The store is a little on the pricey side but totally worth it.
The other part about Rocket Fizz I love is the atmosphere — they play old-​time pop rock and the staff is really friendly. The location is unbeatable and the late hours make it very accessible. I wish they had a store in Oakland!
