    They have won me over as a customer. All of my family loves coming here, but after Friday night, I will always be loyal to this location. You see, my little 4 year old daughter and I were on a daddy "date". At the end of the night, before we went home, I decided to surprise her by taking her to her favorite store, RocketFizz. She loves the little shopping carts, and doing her "grocery shopping". She was so excited, and enamored by all the candies and sodas, that she neglected to tell me she need to use the restroom. The next thing I know, she says "Daddy I need some help"! I looked over to see her near tears, and see that her pants, shoes, and floor are soaked. I remained calm, and explained that I was an accident, and then sought out help. Alex, the employee on the clock that night, sprang in to action. The whole time he was calm, courteous, kind, and very understanding. He in no way made my little girl feel uneasy, or upset. He was AWESOME! He made a potentially very embarrassing situation, very tolerable. After I cleaned her up, and bought her "groceries", and left, she was back in good spirits as we headed home. Thank you Alex for helping us end our date night on a high note. You've made me a HUGE fan of RocketFizz! P.s. We attached the thank you card we dropped off for him. My daughter wanted to draw him a picture of a dog.

    Rocket Fizz has a sort of old fashioned candy store vibe with a modern twist to it. If you like candy or soda this is definitely a place to check out. This store has a nice selection of candy including a very large selection of salt water taffy in a multitude of flavors. I was very surprised that they had so many different types available and loose so I could pick the ones I wanted. I got a small bag of taffy for me and my friend and I really liked the taste of most of them. All of the taffy I bought was fresh and I was thinking that might not have been the case but fortunately I was wrong. I liked that they had some international candies but it would have been nice to see a bit more international candies. There are so many amazing candies from Europe and Asia that I love. They had some Asian staples here such as Ghana Chocolate which I like so I bought a bar. As far as candy, here are some of what they had available... - Double Bubble - Mike & Ike - Whoppers - Dots - Milk Duds - Hi Chew - Sesame Snaps - Ghana Chocolate bar - Ghana Chocolate hearts - Green Tea Kit Kat - Hello Panda - Tootsie Rolls - Bit O' Honey - Mary Jane - Slo Poke - Black Cow - Smarties - Moon Pies - Valomilk - Good News Bar - Mallowcup - Gobstoppers - Rocky Road Bars - Lemonheads - Trolli - Hottie - Sugar Babies - Now & Later - Necco Wafers - Sweet Tarts - Pez - and even Peeps! They have a lot more but I just wanted to give a sample. I don't drink soda but I was fascinated with the huge variety available. Some of the more interesting ones were the ones with world dictators and crazy people. I thought the Kim Jongun Nuclear Orange Bomb, Fiidel Castro's Havana Banana and the Josef Stalin Stalinade were funny. The artwork was great on the labels. They also carry the Lester's Fixins brand and they have some very bizarre flavors. This brand uses the theme of table food for their flavors. I thought the idea of bacon soda was both repulsive and hysterical at the same time. They also had Buffalo Wing, Ranch dressing and Sweet Corn flavored soda. I think the idea of ranch dressing flavored soda was probably one of the most bizarre flavors that I encountered while here. All of the Lester's Fixins labels look really cheesy and campy. I'm going to assume that Melba's Fixins are made by Lester's wife. Her sodas are more dessert flavored. I saw Apple Pie, Cherries and cream, Key Lime Pie, Peaches and Cream and Lemon Meringue Pie to name a few. They all have slices of pie on the labels. I think a lot of the sodas are actually ones that people may have actually drank in their past and they have a huge supply of those but the crazy ones really caught my eye. If you are looking for a soda from your childhood that you haven't been able to find, this is the place you need to check. I liked the store and the woman here was very friendly and polite. I am a sucker for good service and I even saw they had Wacky Monkeys available here. I bought one at an Asian market before in Florida and have not seen them since. I am happy they have them and now I know where to go to get another one. Check this place out and thanks for an interesting diversion. Oh and the Ghana Chocolate was great as was the taffy. I'll be back.

    Just SOME of the offerings

    GeeWhiz and GOLLY! This is a bad ass retro soda and candy shop. And they cover it ALL. Have a favorite candy from your childhood? Cant find it in your local market, im betting you can get it here! Everything from wax lips and wax coke bottle candy to Necco wafers. Yep, in fruit AND chocolate (dont know what my mom ever saw in these nasty things). I cant even begin to name ALL the candies you can find in here but they even cary some asian candy and snack faves like pocky and hello panda. The Sodas. HOLY crap on a cracker. Faygo. Got it, and nearly every flavor. Jones, pssssh, please. Jolt, and even the different flavors (yea, i didnt know they came in anything other than cola). Ever heard of Waialua? You have now And try a few of their flavors, i dig them). Orange, orange cream, vanilla cream, cola, strawberry, red (yea apparently not just a color but also a flavor), ginger ale, seriously this place carries loads. Smaller companies with awesome stuff, think of like micro brew for soda. Unique flavors and things you may not have heard of. Bacon. Yes, i said bacon. There is even more than one kind. They also have their own house brand with numerous flavors in every type you can think of. Are you brave enough to try a flaming moe energy drink? Yes sir, they have it with the favorite simpsons character right on the can and all. And yes, they have energy drinks of all kinds as well, crazy stuff i dont think i would ever put in my mouth thanks but to each their own. Not gonna lie, their price per each is a little spendy, but if you dont drink soda often some of these are an awesome treat. But they do give some price breaks for buying more. Its a cool place to stop in and take a trip down memory lane, maybe even taste a few flowers along the way. The people here are very nice, super helpful, and they will even call you when they get a specific flavor or product in if you ask. You gotta admit, thats just good customer service. And hey maybe you can find SOME of their offerings online, but do you really wanna buy a 6 pack of sarsaperilla to find out you dont like it? You can try them one by one here and not only find old favorites but maybe discover new ones.

    Really friendly staff here and the manager was super cool! even let me take his picture for this!

    As many have said before, this place is pretty spendy but the stuff they sell all tastes delicious…read more It's always fun to window shop and ask about their products. The staff seemed extremely friendly and down-to-earth while having a lot of good suggestions on what would best fit our tastes. The shop itself has such cozy lighting and nice pastel paint, it's very welcoming and there's always something to look at.

    Lollipop and Pops is a beautiful shop with great curb appeal, or rather "mall" appeal, since they…read moreare located in Washington Square. So cute, like the name, I had to wonder in. Inside is bright, with sherbet colored green walls, lots of shelves and tables stocked with beautifully wrapped candy, gift assortments, boxes of chocolates, novelty candy, gummies, lollipop, and even candy from around the world, including a large variety of Asian candies. For those wanting just an individual piece of chocolate or wanting to create a custom purchase, the counter holds individual pieces of a variety of chocolates. They have all the usual suspects - truffles, salted chocolate caramels, chocolate with nuts, cream filled and more. It was October, so there was a section dedicated to fall colors and Halloween, with candy coming in black cat boxes, candy that resembles an eyeball, witch, ghost, and of course, candy corn. Never understood the appeal of candy corn, you either love it or avoid it, but it's definitely representative of the season. Candy here is priced high, so it's more like a treat or gift, not an everyday purchase. Personally, I think they would be more profitable if they had a broader price range so it could be the candy store you always purchase something from while at the mall.
