Decent selection. Blaring music played by a totally disinterested girl behind the counter. The vibe she put off was that every customer was an annoyance. Amazon won this time. read more

Brought my 8yr old grandson in to pick something out, the girl that was working didn't even acknowledge us even though we cheerlearly said Good morning, she ignored us and sat behind the counter filing her fingernails. When we were ready to check out, she had walked to a display and we had to tell her we were ready to check out after standing there. SHE IS NOT A GOOD STORE FRONT. I will not be back. BTW, we were the only customers in the store. read more

Super cute candy store with tons of old school (and new) candy options! A fun and unique stop if your visiting old Town. There's plenty of parking in the area that's free and it's right by tons of other shops. They have a HUGE soda/ root beer wall which is a super awesome feature. Plus all kinds of new and old candy styles. There's also fun little knick-knacks. read more

Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

See all

Salt water taffy is stale. Perhaps Rocket Fizz should have half as many candy options so they can keep food fresh.

I love stopping in when I make it to old town! A lot of cool old school candies, variety of different types of candies I had no idea existed! Cool vibes in there read more

Candy shop chock full of a huge variety of candy from the past and present. Happy to discover they had candy from our childhood as well as candies we normally have to go out of the country to locate. Each one of us got a little bag of treats to enjoy on our journey home. read more

Store is lovely and never in short supply of sweets, however when checking out the staff can seem like they're in a different plane of existence. read more

Give the people tonight who are working a raise. 10/10 stop highly recommend! The gal working was so kinda and helped us out when looking for our goods. read more

We came for taffy since they have so many fun flavors. 3 large bags ($8.99 each) of mixed bulk candy and taffy later, we got home that night to find it was all stale. This was on 3/9/2023. read more

Great candy shop. There are so many types of candy and soda here it will make your head spin. I bought some candy that brings me back. It hard to do a review on a place like this because there is so much here. Just swing in and take a look for yourself if you are in the area. Plus check out my pictures attached and you can see a lot of what they have to offer! read more

Old, classic, and they sell everything! Recommend going here if your looking for old candies!

Such a fun and interesting store. This would be a great place to gather up some unique goodies for someone's birthday surprise, or at Christmas. if you are intrigued by crazy sodas, well this place is going to make you very happy. Pickle flavored, buttered corn are just a few of the odd flavors. They carry so many different candies from days gone by as well. They had 'Look', 'Big Cherry', 'Bun Bars' and those little Styrofoam satellite discs that melt in your mouth and have candy pieces inside. This place is great for that unusual, or gag gift as well as for a trip down memory lane. read more

You're a candy store. I know you're really catering to midlife crisis yuppies who are trying to re-live their childhoods. I get that. However, kids like candy too. I took a 12 year old, a 6 year old, and a 3 year old into the shop. Since they were in a candy store there was a lot of "I want..." from them but they weren't grabbing things off the shelves or licking the candy. From the looks the lady at the counter was giving them you would think those kids were shoving candy in their pockets hand over fist. I'm serious, that woman glared at my kids the whole time we were in there. It made me and my wife uncomfortable. When the kids picked out what they wanted, my wife took them outside while I paid for the candy. The woman barely even grunted at me while I made the purchase. Even if I found myself back in the area, I will never find my way back in that shop. read more

Rocket Fizz - The last thing I will ever purchase from Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shop - Candy Stores Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

This store demands time to give all the candy and soda a good once over. Everywhere you look there are little corners waiting to be discovered of novelty candy from yesteryear (remember the hot dog chewing gum) or the latest craze. Ginger Ale is one of my favorite drinks and the selection is fantastic. If you like root beer this is also the place to go. Of course no respectable candy store would miss out on the wowza/gross factor so there are bacon, ranch and wing sauce sodas for the more adventurous. This is a fun place to come for a sugar high. read more

Such a cute little nostalgic candy shop! My friend and I wanted some candy and happened to walk up on this place. We were expecting the candy to be more expensive, as most candy stores are, but to our surprise it was super reasonable! The guy working was friendly too, we asked about their "mystery bags", which is a bunch of random candy that you can buy in a brown paper bag. Definitely worth paying a visit! read more

This place is all kinds of fun. Bacon soda? French fry lip balm? Moses action figures? How can you not enjoy this place? It's always fun to walk through here and see what they added. Strangely, they also have back issues of comics. Just a few, so it's extremely hit-or-miss. It gets crowded easily, so keep that in mind if you're claustrophobic. All in all, it's a cool store. Check it out! read more

Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

My family had bought pop and candy there for years. Yesterday i went in and found a pop i was looking for and wandered around looking for another brand for my wife. The owner/manager kept blocking my way to different shelves as if i was going to steal and run for it. I asked the young woman behind the register if they had this specific pop and she pointed at the guy who said we are out. Not a maybe in a week, never again, nothing. Payed for my pop. Left thinking i won't ever go back. read more

Rocket Fizz - Awesome shop! - Candy Stores Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

i came to town looking for beer and stumbled upon the most amazing thing .. the largest soda store i have ever seen. Not the everyday soda pops here, mountains of regional and specialty sodas that you never see. I saw a few that I have only heard of .. Cheerwine from North Carolina, Averys from Connecticut, Ale 8 from Kentucky .. they probably had several hundred different sodas to choose from and most of them probably use real sugar and better than average ingredients.. If you like soda, this is heaven. (and the imported and retro candy was a pretty amazing selection as well) read more

The store itself is adorable and filled with great, nostalgic candy and merchandise. We went in expecting a fun atmosphere and were prepared to spend the additional money for the fun. We were met with a dour, unhappy, unpleasant young lady (dressed in a VERY low cut top with long brown hair) that made the experience uncomfortable and the opposite of fun. She sent scathing looks out into the crowd and refused to answer questions with anything but a shrug. When we were checking out I said that I hoped her day got better and she replied that she wasn't there to be happy for us. We will never go back. read more

Kiddo was as happy as a kid in a candy store! (Haha!) Rocket Fizz is a chain, but they've got a good selection of candies and sodas. We had to walk around and check everything out before making final selections, and he had to make some tough choices, but he was grinning ear to ear the whole time. And, the cashier guy even gave him a sticker and a free lollipop! Purchases here can get a little expensive depending on what you choose, but they also have quite a few reasonable things. We got quite the haul of candy for just under $20. And, not all of it was for Kiddo! read more

Awesome place in old town Fort Collins. Has every candy and root beer you can think of. Great place to get a cool treat.

Pretty extensive selection of candy and sodas from around the world. Hundreds of sodas of all flavors. Literally dozens of varieties of some, like cream sodas or root beers. Kind of expensive. I know a lot of stuff is imported, but their Japanese selection is generally twice as expensive as the same stuff in San Francisco. And as cool as some of this is, it's really tough paying $3.29 for one small candy bar. Lots of stuff, both candy and non-edible, straight out of the Archie McPhee catalog. Still well worth checking out. read more

The selection is amazing, every soda you can imagine is found here. Im enjoying trying a different cream soda each time I visit. The retro candy is very fun to see and as one reviewer already pointed out, its generally only found online. The store is very nicely decorated and well kept, its also a fairly large location. My only complaint is that some of the retro candy is a bit pricey. Im sure the store isnt making much off of it so its not there fault. Its a must see for people visiting Fort Collins. read more

Finally a store that "Gets" me. Takes me back to the age I still feel inside. What a great, fun store, All of the old favorites from my childhood and many regional candies from all over the country and the world that you can discover. Just love this whimsical store. read more

Love it! A fantastic assortment of candy, including a bacon section, Japanese candy section [bought quite a lot, was delicious], even a small bulk area. Their soda selection is HUGE! Definitely recommend. read more

Takes me back to my childhood. Great selection of candy that I haven't even thought about in 20 years plus more sodas then you can shake a stick at. read more

This place is awesome for it's selection - every candy you can think of or remember from your childhood (we were looking for candy cigarettes as a gag gift and long sour gum sticks - found both), tons of cool sodas (including wild flavors like PB&J and Bacon), and lots of neat signs for sale. It's a big store with lots to look at even if you're not in the mood to buy candy. read more

I'm not one to normally write reviews but the lady who works here is so rude. It was a young girl with long brown hair and glasses. She arrived 20 minutes late when the sign says they are open at 10 and told us to come back later. Then we came back at 10:30 and she rolled her eyes when we knocked on the door and mouthed something under her breath even though the sign said "open". Really unprofessional and terrible service. I don't know how you can be so mad and rude when you work at a Candy store. I'm hoping she just had a bad day or rough morning and that everything is okay! She also had a pink scarf or something wrapped around her face and body and was taking selfies with it so I am confused lol. read more

The down side to Rocket Fizz Fort Collins and Estes Park is that both stores are run/manned by very crotchety old ladies. These sour pusses are over the top. So much so that I'll say this... if you have nothing better to do and are in the mood to amuse yourself, go just once. Other than that it's not really the vibe I'm looking for in a nostalgic candy store. read more

This is a must-see store. It is worth stopping and seeing all the variety of edibles, drinkables and decoration that is displayed in such an way that you want to see every nook and cranny. There is a hard-working human quality that comes from the past in a lot of the products.Yes, products that were not questioned as to whether they were made in USA.If only all those products were produced here, that would be really cool.Still love the store's intent of bringing this stuff back to see!! The past is intriguing because of the way people expressed creativity in their product marketing/advertising.America was getting to where we are now.Now, we are here.?Therefore I love seeing a store like this. This store practically seems to have most anything you have not seen for quite " a while", if you have been around for "a while." Refreshing... read more

Where do I start? First, they have hundreds of sodas. Literally everything from your run of the mill Coca-Cola to Toasted Marshmallow Soda. For key lime pie enthusiasts, there's Aunt Mabel's Key Lime Pie Soda, which is really good. They also have an assortment of candies such as taffy, hard candies, and Japanese candies. This is THE PLACE to go for candy and soda. read more

I was surprised to see such great reviews. Then I read the one with a one star and was relieved that it wasn't just me. I went in with my 2 and 4 year old and must say they were pretty well behaved. I went to ask the lady behind the counter for a special item we find in some candy shops. She was dreadful. She looked at me awkwardly and shook her head no. No friendliness whatsoever. Not even proper customer service. I get that not everyone is friendly but at least be cordial. We walked out with nothing because I felt so awkward. And my kids didn't even fuss about it. Two stars for having cool stuff. Not a business we will support though. read more

I was ecstatic to find this place. They have candy I could only get online or in Estes Park. The selection is outstanding and the service is good. read more

Honestly if your in the Fort Collins area check this place out. As soon as we walked in you get a 1950s vibe from the music, old style tin posters, and how the candy and soda is presented. If you can picture an old grab and go candy store that is what its like. They have just about every candy out there and even the things that you thought vanished when you were a kid. The variety of soda is endless, they have just about everything you can imagine, but you wont find the brand names there like Pepsi and such. Yes they do have the classic american soda Coke Cola. Its not just about the candy and sodas all the little tinker toys when you were young are there and the classic tin posters of the later years. This place for me was a blast even though it was just a candy shop if you have a sweet tooth and want to feel like your ten again go have a visit its still a cool place to see even if you are not the candy soda type. I will definitely be back to this place and hope it stays open for years to come. read more

Definitely a place to check out! So many thinks to look at weather candies or funny gag gifts! I make a point of going on Rocket Fizz adventures all the time! read more
