Fantastic find in Denver city center. We had such a great experience and the store is adorable! staff is fun, helpful and friendly. While not necessarily 'cheap", neither did I find the prices out of line. Especially when you find long-lost, nostalgic sweets from childhood that are almost impossible to find. We went in on a whim, and it was a super fun diversion. We enjoyed several treats and brought home a few special candies for family. Love this great store! read more

If you were born in the 1900's and want old school candy, this is the place! They also have plenty of current candy, tons of vintage soda options. Service was friendly. read more

Rocket Fizz gets me. It knows what I need! Licorice flavored sweets. Cinnamon bears Long forgotten delights from your childhood? Yah, Rocket Fizz has it all. Eclectic mix of new and past faves. Is it expensive, hell yah but it's worth it. When you walk in, it's like an explosion of sweets. Staff are nice. Choices seem unlimited and they things organized in fun and sometimes unexpected ways. Staff are always friendly and it's not so big that you get lost. Great vibe for sure. read more

Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This store has a huge variety of sodas and candy from around the world. All sodas use to be 3.49$ but now they charge more for imported sodas. The IrnBru I buy is 4.49$ and the imported Pepsis/Coca Cola are 5.99$! Way over priced. I understand they have to be imported but those sodas are like 50¢ USD each so the mark up is wild. read more

I love Rocket Fizz. This is such a cute shop with all kinds of candies and soda and is such a nostalgic place for young and old! We love to pop in here to grab a soda or a piece of candy any time we go downtown. The people that work here are always incredibly friendly and kind and helpful. I always have great conversations when we are in and it's just such a delight to stop in here in between shows and events ! read more

Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Rocket fizz is a pretty cool store. It has tons and tons of candies and drinks and many of them are from other countries and regions. But not as much as you might think at first glance. Most of the sodas and bottled drinks are just what I've seen in various other stores around town. They just have a much bigger selection of all of them instead of a couple here and there. I found some candies that I haven't tried from places like England, but a whole lot of candies were just regular American candy. The prices are astronomical, however, and I couldn't find any labeled to know what I was paying beforehand so for a small bag of candy I paid almost $50 which was shocking. A very small can of soda from Canada had a price of about eight dollars. It's just a little high for some of the stuff that could be found in the states pretty easily. Will I go back? Sure, but I would probably try to pay attention to figuring out pricing before I committed to purchasing. read more

Great selection of fun products. So arrogant they do not put the prices on their goods. Buy something without knowing how much it costs? Not for me. read more

Some of the candy looked like it had been on the shelf for too long and didnt have the feel of a good old fashioned candy store imo. Too many new candies that you can get at the supermarket for less. read more

Such a fun store. I found this store because I was visiting Denver and wanted to look for the penny stamp machine. Lots of fun, interesting candy and gag gifts! read more

I stumbled upon this place while walking to Larimer square. This is a candy and soda shop that features so many zany types of soda and most candies. This place was completely stocked and had a fair amount of flair on the walls and huge realistic looking Batman at the store entrance. I filled a few bags with candy for the family, mostly consisting of flavored taffys. I was surprised when I saw the maple bacon flavor and with margarita and other fruity flavors. I was impressed when I saw that they had my favorite Ginger Beer in stock, Cock N' Bull. There were many types of soda that I've never seen or heard of but they even had New York Seltzer, which I hadn't seen in years. Cool shop! Four stars!. read more

What a fun old fashioned store! There's so much candy and soda in this place it's astonishing. They have flavors of anything you can think of, and even some out of this world. The location is right downtown on a pedestrian mall. It's pretty large inside and has many different areas of candy. I liked the pop rocks and Rocky Mtn Soda Co stuff. The cashiers were very friendly and easygoing. Clean store was nice, only caveat is some of my candy wasn't very fresh. Go for the soda and candy that gets bought a lot. read more

Misslabeled an item (soda) went back & informed them a day after purchase, to be told i'd have a refund. The next time I was in the area i went in an I was told that the last time i was spoken to that I wasn't allowed in the store & they don't do refunds. I just so happen to have a png of the refund they cancelled on me & of the misrepresentation of items. Take your business to rocky mountain chocolate factory across the plaza. Subpar drinks for such a wide selection. 90% unrefrigerated. read more

Visited from Atlanta. Fun little nostalgic store. Was a nice little stop after being disappointed that 16th street mall just isn't what it used to be. Enjoyed my grape Nehi and Nut Roll. Just wish the tables in front of the store were accessible (stacked and chained up on a beautiful day). read more

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. read more

Rocket Fizz has got to be the most interesting, yet bizarre shop I've ever visited! Step inside, and you'll find a rare assortment of bottled sodas and over 1,500 different candies mixed in amongst vintage signs, tins, and other cool finds. The owner Patrick is a true gentleman and connoisseur - after telling him of my quest for a dark chocolate / coconut treat, he scurried away with two of his knowledgeable employees, returning with about five varieties. Adding more to my chocolatey excitement, they described each in detail, comparing the consistency and overall taste of each of the bars. Needless to say, I left with three so I could do my own testing! Situated across the street from a comedy club, and near a whole bunch of cool restaurants and bars, Rocket Fizz is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Don't Ever Grow Up Oh my goodness, this place is soooooooo amazing!! You can find every kind of sweet and drink from your childhood here. Your dentist would NOT approve, but hey....you have to live a little!! If you need me, I'll be smoking a candy cigarette out back. read more

This is the 2nd 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. read more

Incredible. Incredible! Walk in to Rocket Fizz, and you'll see every possible soda imaginable. (And tons of candy, too.) Most of these sodas don't have high fructose corn syrup. We're talkin' pure cane sugar, baby. Sodas in glass bottles, the way it should be. I picked up six sodas and each one was a flavorful adventure. 1) My favorite was the Polar Classics orange cream. Smooth and tasty. 2) I also loved "Mr." Cola. First of all, awesome name. Secondly, awesome taste. "That's 'Mr.' Cola to you." 3) Moxie was really, really good. It was one of the first mass-produced soft drinks in the U.S. (1884!) Civil War veterans probably drank this. I imagine Billy Yank and Johnny Reb clinking cold bottles and smiling that the Union was preserved to allow for such wonders. 4) Rocket Fizz Root Beer Float just tasted like root beer. It was pretty good, but I wouldn't get it again. 5) Avery's Cola was decent. Enjoyable, but not remarkable. 6) Bundaberg (Australian) root beer was fairly awful. Also, the bottle totally exploded when I popped the strange cap. Avoid this one, despite the lure of the kangaroo on the bottle. I picked up my custom-made six pack and enjoyed a cold new flavor periodically throughout my 5,000-mile road trip. Is it wrong that I want to sample every flavor? read more

This is a fun place to visit in Denver. All. The. Bubbles...literally every kind of soda in existence and all of the candy from your childhood, new things you've never seen before and some fun from the folks at Archie McPhee to boot. I loved the myriad of metal signs, as I collect them myself. They were funny! They were nostalgic! They lined the walls! I also loved the candy assortment. I mean there were the popular Green Tea kit kats sold in Asia, pop rocks from my childhood, moon pies and tastykakes, penny candy and salt water taffy, and a nice selection of the local Hammond's chocolate. With all this candy you'd have thought I'd go nuts man. What was my purchase? A rare Betty Boop bobblehead, decked out like a motorcycle mama with a Route 66 sign. She's going to be my touchstone for road trips in my car this summer. What was my favorite soda? See my picture! read more

Okay so let me start by saying that this place was a must stop when visiting down town. We love the nostalgic vibe. I thought the candy items were interesting and I am a sucker for taffy. On our recent visit we got our usual treat. I only realized after Halloween that when comparing store bought candy of the same brand that the candy at this place is stale and almost expired. If you look at the expiration date on the box this expired. We purchased it on the 30th of October. Also the taffy and tootsie rolls are old compared to what was recently purchased at the supermarket. read more

Severely disappointed in this business. tried to take my parents here who are visiting and we get here where the open sign is turned on but there is a note on the door that says be back in 5-10 minutes so we said no problem, we can wait then 20 minutes went by and still no one came back to the store. Multiple people tried to come and go in and left. Lost a ton of business. If you want to close, at least turn off your open sign and if you are going to be gone 5-10 minutes, actually be gone for that amount of time. read more

Really fun store! I was instantly attracted to all the bright colors like a moth to a flame. I made Michael wait outside with our dog while I went crazy with the candy. I bought two candy bars, some gummy candy, and pop rocks. It came to $7! Am I the only one who thinks that's a lot of money for candy? My Snickers Peanut Butter was $1.50 and you can for sure get it at Target for .89 cents. Michael's specialty British something or other cost $2. Go here for things you can't find at the regular store like candy cigarettes and taffy. Save your Snickers and M&M purchases for King Soopers. read more

This location is better organized and more attractive than the Boulder store. Call me uptight, but I prefer a neat and tidy approach (e.g. tables with step-type shelves) over a cluttered one (e.g. flat tables with items piled atop). But I don't understand why you can find the same item in two or three different places within the store. On the plus side, I found both a milk and a dark version of Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. Sadly, we could not find Haribo gummi bears. read more

unbelievably overpriced. charging $2.99 for a single pack of candy cigarettes. for reference a 24 pack on Amazon costs $12. and i have even seen 24 packs for $8 in Pittsburgh. an upcharge is to be expected but not by that much! and then they were charging $8 for chocolate oranges that can be bought for half that at safeway! they have a great selection but you are better off buying elsewhere. read more

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! read more

Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I stumbled upon this place as we waited for reservations at a restaurant in Larimer Square... Talk about kid in a candy store! The moment I walked in I immediately saw the table of imported candy from the UK. I had / have an obsession of Flake bars and was so excited to see that they have them. The nostalgia of my childhood came rushing back, they had along the walls bins of salt water taffy, oh my summers along the east coast.. boxes of candy ciggarettes, and the uber sweet treats there that I could not imagine eating now, (tubes of flavored corn syrup, and wax sodas) - but they also have items that I know I definitely would not be trying but super amusing... the bacon flavored or buffalo wing soda (yikes adventerous!) Overall super impressed with all the candy they have there, and the vibe was fun, warm and welcoming. If you are in the neighborhood or looking for some fun cheesy gifts, check this place out. read more

For many it's worth a visit just for the nostalgic walk through your childhood. It's a hodgepodge of old school candy, faux retro candy and sodas, Japanese candy that's more cute than tasty, and random kitsch. Bacon scarf, anyone? (Yes, dear, I regret not getting the Dr. Who lunch box.) read more

Determined to find bacon flavored lip gloss, a cardboard cutout of Luke Skywalker, a pen that farts when you write with it, or an ice cream cone that shoot water? COME HERE. On the hunt for chocolate from Germany, taffy from Switzerland, or Mexican Jumping beans? COME HERE. This place is Candyland in real life. and who doesn't like that? Life is better sweet. COME HERE :) read more

Fun, fun, fun and a trip down memory lane. It is a sizable store filled with all of the favorites of my youth. A sense of nostalgia filled me as I continued to recognize candy after candy that I used the purchase from the ice cream man. My mother still reminds me of the summer I secretly used my silver dollar collection to buy Razzles off of the truck. But I digress... Razzles were among the finds today along with those tiny ice cream cones topped with " marshmallow" , Fun Dip, chocolate cigarettes, Pop Rocks, Nik -L-Nips wax bottles - why did we chew the wax afterwards? Circus peanuts, Necco Wafers, Chuckles - the list goes on and on. It was a blast to poke around. I also liked the bathtubs filled with pick your own candy - salt water taffy in every imaginable flavor. Although all of these were close to the windows so I wonder what they will do in the summer? As soon as you walk in there is a table of UK imports so it was cool to see the hubby react in the same way I did and share his favorites from his childhood as well. Their Smarties are different from ours. This was just the candy section I am describing - don't get me started on the hundreds of soda including limited edition bottled Dr. Pepper - according to a sign the factory is closing so when it is gone it is gone. I overheard one of the shopkeepers say they are not even done stocking up on candy and will be getting in more novelty items - who knew they made girl squirrel underpants? Because you can buy those too! It is a great place to go and have a laugh and eat way too much sugar. read more

Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Candy, and soda and diabetes, oh my! This store was on my list of places to visit while in Denver, and I must have done 75 laps inside trying to pick out candy and soda from the huge selection. The flavors they stock are varied, from Coca Cola to Lavender to Bacon and everything in between. You can purchase bottles individually, or by the 4 or 6 pack. Finding a pack to hold the bottles was difficult, and the staffers sort of just pointed towards the front of the store, when they were hiding under some candy displays. Maybe they could make a sign and have a designated spot? Other than that the staff was really helpful, making suggestions and pointing out where we could find our favorite items. The Candy Man even gave us some free M&M's when they had too many that would fit on the shelf. Yay sugar! I particularly liked MacFuddy's Pepper Elixir which is like Dr Pepper had a magical crack baby with Cream Soda. Lots of the soda's are kept in refrigerators against the back wall, so if you want a cold one, head there instead of grabbing one off the shelves. They group them by type, which is nice, all the ginger sodas are in one section, root beer in another. I tried to pick a magical cream soda, though they did not have Big Red in stock, and another customer was super bummed that they had sold out, and he had to settle for another red dye #6 infused concoction. So I ended up with something that was way too sweet but totally delicious. Much like the candy I bought. There was not a ton of candy that did not involve peanuts and as I hate the legume's taste and texture I had a little trouble picking something out. The Candy Man came to my rescue and suggested a few suitable items. They also have an obscene selection of taffy, and if you're not too particular on flavors, you can cram a bag full of taffy for a set price, or pay per piece. I only found about 10 flavors that I deemed interesting enough to try, so I didn't bother with the bag. I spent about 14 bucks on 4 sodas and enough candy to last me a week. I'd definitely come back, but don't buy anything you can get at the regular grocery store. read more

If I could be buried here after I die...I would be in heaven. Walked over here on our way to dinner in Larimer square. This place has a red carpet and balloons leading up to the entrance and the workers were dressed in Halloween costumes. From weird sodas (pb&j) to regular candies to old school candies and imported yummies, name it and it's here! They even have a wall of taffy! I was squealing when I saw that they had these green tea kit kats my friend brought me from Japan a few years ago! You could browse here a good hour and find new sugary goods to buy when you take a second look around. Definitely a great place to bring a visitor to Denver! read more
